Labis ang tuwa't pasasalamat ko kina Kejadian lalong-lalo na sa Kuya at Mama nila na nagsilbing daan para makuha ang grades ko.
He was such a great actor for pretending coolly as someone close to my family. Looks like he's done that so many times before, if I were to ask.
Napag-alaman ko ring hindi sila buong magkapatid ni Kejadian. And that answered my question why they do not resemble each other.
Anak ni Tita Rochette si Kuya Liege sa una niyang asawa na ngayon ay may bago na rin daw pamilya.

Nang makauwi ay sandali akong nagpahinga bago nagsimulang maglinis ng bahay.
Ilang araw na rin akong walang kasama rito tuwing umaga hanggang hapon dahil sa gabi lang naman nauwi si Kuya.
He's trying his very best to get home early dahil delikado raw kung mag-isa lang ako rito sa gabi.
Ilang beses nangyaring nakatulugan ko ang pag-aantay sa pag-uwi niya dahil sa matinding antok at pagod.
Naiintindihan ko naman dahil may kalayuan ang University at dormitory niya. It will take 40 to 50 minutes bago makarating dito. What more pa kung ma-traffic.
Sinabi ko rin naman sakaniyang kaya kong mag-isa, pero matigas ang ulo niya at nagpumilit pa ring gabi-gabing umuwi rito kahit alam na malayo.
I quickly took my phone out of my pocket when I heard it rang.
Saglit kong sinulyapan ang pangalan ng caller. Speaking of my brother.
"Kuya," sambit ko matapos sagutin ang tawag. Narinig ko ang pagbuntong-hininga nito sa kabilang linya.
"May problema ba?" kunot-noong tanong ko ng hindi ito magsalita.
"I don't think I can go home tonight since we have so much work to finish. I'm sorry, Louella," he said in apologetic tone.
Ngumiti ako kahit pa hindi niya nakikita. "Make sure to get enough rest after finishing that, okay?"
"I hope that'll be the last time na i-ooverwork mo ang sarili mo," dagdag ko.
"Huwag ako ang intindihin mo, Louella. Worry about yourself. Mag-isa ka lang diyan mamaya," I almost pouted.
"Ano kaya kung diyan mo patulugin si Fyearie? Tutal wala naman kayong pasok bukas dahil sabado."
"I'll think about it, Kuya."
He cliked his tongue. "Ako na lang ang magsasabi sakaniya."
Marahan akong tumawa habang pinupunasan ang vase sa may sala.
"I was just kidding! Tatapusin ko lang 'tong ginagawa ko, I'll chat her after this. Para naman mahimbing kang makatulog mamaya," I joked.
"Malalaman ko rin naman kung gagawin mo o hindi eh," anito na tila nagbabanta.
"I need to end this call, by the way. Tawagan na lang ulit kita mamaya."
After the call ended, nakatanggap ako ng mensahe mula kay Fyearie.

I mentally rolled my eyes. Akala ko naman kung ano na ang pinu-problema niya.

Louella Ianthe Xelouvilla :
Really? Mabuti naman para matapos na ang kahibangan mo sakaniya.
᠌
Fyearie Andanova :
Lalo mo lang dinagdagan ang sama ng loob ko. Napaka-sama mong tao.
᠌
Louella Ianthe Xelouvilla :
Sabi mo kasi happy crush lang pero bakit umabot na ng halos isang taon at nasasaktan ka ngayon?
᠌
Fyearie Andanova :
Happy crush lang naman talaga nung una, kaso pinakitaan niya ako ng motibo tapos ngayon biglang in a relationship na siya? As in right after kong basted-in lahat ng nanliligaw sa 'kin? How dare him!
Please remind me to block him later.
