Mnemosyne's Youth

Chapter 14

"San ka?" bungad kong tanong sa kaniya matapos nyang sagutin ang tawag ko.

"Bakit, sama ka sa ganap?"
Wala sa loob akong napairap sa sinabi nya.

"Hindi, punta ka dito. Dalian mo."
I heard her gasped. "Duh, I'm not your utusan! Utusan mo ako girl? Anong kailangan mo, aber?" Madrama nyang sabi.

Tss. "Basta, pero promise I'll cook you something. I just need your existence, okay?"

Sandali kaming natahimik na dalawa, hinihintay ko syang sumagot.

"Hmmm. I was about to go on a party! What do you need?"

"Ditch it, it won't be fun so come here. Pupunta si Kuya." my voice laced with malice.

"Like the 'Kuya?' " Hindi ako agad sumagot, I sighed and said. "Uhuh." Then I heard her squealed. Muntik na akong mabingi sa tili nya.

"Okay, wait for me! I'm coming, I'll just pack some essentials. Like, Oh my god, Blythe! Bruha ka, dapat sinabi mo agad!" I can hear her panicking, sigurado akong hindi na 'yan mapakali.

"Whatever, dalian mo ah. Bye."

"Okay, bye!" And we both hang up.

Pheobe has a huge crush with Kuya Yelo, yes she has a boyfriend but that doesn't mean she's blind to not appreciate handsome guys. Plus, it's a healthy infatuation. It's more like a 'fan crush' because she is a fan of Kuya Ice.

My cousin or brother, Silver Meitzen Zoyle is an international car racer and he appears on magazine such as W, Nylon and etc.

Brand ambassador pa nga 'yon ng Hugo!

And Pheobe is one of his supporter. Muntik na nga ako mabilaukan noon ng sinabi nyang kasama sya sa fansclub ni Kuya. She said they're called 'Icy' because Kuya Silver  whole name is Silver Ice M. Zoyle, whom I called 'yelo' sometimes, and Kuya used that as his pen name in Car racing world.

I found it weird. Kuya Yelo is an annoying brother in my eyes, someone who bullies me when he's fond of doing it.  Although he's sweet, pero madalas wala syang ginagawa kundi guluhin ang buhay ko.

Though, I admit he's drop dead gorgeous. Like what his fans says. Ugh, eww. He's full of surprises, and he got a lot of shits up on his sleeves. Kapag sinabi kong marami syang kalokohan, (na karamihan sa mga 'yon eh dinadawit nya ako.) totoo 'yun.

He was the one who made drink my very first alcohol.

He drag mo on a night trip just to ditch some social party.

He took me on a illegal drag racing in cebu! na kahit ang paalam nya, may kasal s'yang pupuntahan and he needed a company, kaya isasama n'ya ako, wala naman kasi s'yang ibang choice kundi ako lang, kaya kahit 15 lang ako that time, nag tiyaga s'ya.

Akala tuloy ni Papa totoo mga sinabi nya, if only they know how wicked their first son is. Lagi kasing seryoso ang facade ni Kuya Ice sa harap ng iba, tapos madalas pang seryoso sya kapag kasama si Papa.  Kahit na alam naman ng pamilya na sweet si Kuya, hindi naman nila alam na pasaway s'ya kasi never naman s'yang nahuli.

Sobrang galing magtago ng kalokohan nung taong 'yun.  Feel ko tuloy sakanya ko nakuha 'tong ginagawa ko with Rayburn.

I heard my door chimed. Sila na 'yun, alam nila passcode ko. Kahit ilang ulit ko pang palitan, nalalaman at nalalaman din nila kaya hinayaan ko nalang sa dati.

"Mnem, baby!" Kuya yelo chirping voice greeted my ear. I wrinkle my nose.

"Pangit mo." Salubong ko sakanya.
Madrama nyang sinapo ang dibdib na para bang inaatake.
