UM: Chap 3

Wine

I was busy watching korean drama on my laptop when my phone rang. I paused the video and picked up the call.

"Hello. Who is this?" I asked even without bothering to look at the caller id.

"Hello, Lily," my brows arched and looked at the screen again.

"I asked who are you?" naiinis kong tanong.

"You already forgot about me? What's up gorgeous intruder," I massaged my head when I already know who was the caller.

"What do you need?" umirap ako at nilapag sa table ang phone pagkatapos i-loudspeaker.

"What do I need? Wala. I'm just bored. Bye," pagkatapos ay binabaan niya na ako ng tawag. I scoffed.

"What a weird scumbag," I whispered to myself and just shook my head as I continued watching drama.

Weeks have passed and nothing special happened to me. As usual, boring pa rin kahit I'm meeting up with my friends some other times.

"Yaya, kailan uuwi sina Kuya?" tanong ko kay Yaya Olie. She looked at me and smiled.

"Mamayang gabi raw po, Ma'am. Kasama po nina Sir Hilario at Ma'am Veronica," tumango ako at nagpatuloy na lang ako sa pag-kain ng tanghalian ko. Napabuntong-hininga ako.

"Yaya alam niyo po ba kung hanggang ilang araw dito si Kuya?" she looked up, thinking if she know about it or not.

Nalungkot ako ng makitang umiling siya. "Hindi, Ma'am, eh. Sorry po," I shook my head and smiled at her.

"It's okay lang po. Kain na po kayo, I'm already finished na naman po."

"Naku! Hindi na," I chuckled and pulled her a bit to sit down on the chair.

"Kumain na po kayo. Baka hindi pa kayo nakaka-kain at nagugutom na. Sayang din naman po ang pagkain kung ako lang ang uubos niyan," she smiled.

"Salamat, Ma'am."

Ngumiwi ako. "Lily na lang po diba?" Yaya Olie laughed a bit and nodded.

"Salamat, Lily," tumango ako at tumaas na lang ng kwarto ko.

"Kuya!" I ran towards my brother and hugged him tightly. I saw him smiled and hugged me back.

"Hello, Lily. How are you?" sumimangot ako.

"It's so boring kapag you're not here, Kuya.." he rolled his eyes and chuckled.

"Ano bang gusto mo? Nambobola ka pa, Lily," tumawa ako at kinuha ang bag niya.

"Louis Vuitton lang naman, Kuya," then I let out a huge grin.

"Meron diyan sa bag ko. Medyo nagusot lang 'yung paper bag pero bahala ka if you'll still take it or not—" I quickly cut him off.

"No. This is okay. Thank you, Kuya!" I hugged him again.

"Hija, can't you greet us, first?" my smile literally faded when I heard my mother. I withdrew from our hug and took my designer bag.

"I'm.. I'm sleepy, Mom. Goodnight," paalam ko at tumakbo na pataas sa kwarto ko. I can still hear my brother calling me downstairs but I just ignored it and took out my new bag from the paper bag.

"Why are you preparing foods in the backyard, Kuya Liam?" I asked him and curiously looked at the backyard. Some maids are grilling barbeques and 'yung ilan naman ay nagsa-sapin sa ilang tables.
