Drag me Down (Flower Crown Series Two)

Drag Twenty Four

Nakasimangot akong naglakad patungo sa pwesto ni Kuya Avo sa couch. He is silently watching an NBA Playoffs. Mukhang hindi nga niya ako napansin nang dumaan ako sa front niya. I crossed my arms.

I cleared my throat. Nakita kong tumingin lang saglit si Kuya sa akin. He remained on his position. Tumaas naman ang dugo ko sa kanya.

Pabagsak akong umupo sa tabi niya at inis siyang hinampas sa balikat. Umawang ang kanyang lips and faced me.

I smirked.

That's what you've got Avo.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" he growled. I rolled my eyes and hinablot sa kanya ang remote. Akmang kukunin niya 'yun sa akin nang pinatay ko na kaagad ang TV and inilagay ko sa back ko.

His eyes were black and intense pero hindi niya ako mapapasindak. Did he really think na matatakot ako sa kanya?!

Mas ako pa ang magagalit sa amin kapag sinabi ko ang tungkol kay Kirk!

Yeah! After so many hours spending on the room, looking so bored while watching on the ceiling. Wala naman akong magawa sa phone ko. So, I did waited him. At ngayon na natiyempuhan na wala sina Mommy because they were running errands.

Worried pa nga silang pabayaan ako. Like what the hell is maid's purpose?! They really underestimated me and those maids! They are serving us right! Napakaworried naman itong si Mommy sometimes.

But back to our topic!

"What do you want?" he sighed after and lean on the couch.

Pinagmasdan ko muna siya nang limang segundo bago magsalita. I bet he would deny this.

"You force Kirk to quit on the race" I straightforwardly said. I was expected at him to smirked after what he heard but he just straighy said.

"Yes" without hesitations. I clenched my fist. So, there's no reason to deny this huh? You already say it loud and clear Avo. How dare you?!

"What makes you do that?" hamong tanong ko. He stared at me. Hindi rin ako nagpapatalo and tinititigan rin siya.

He sighed. "Dahil gusto ko?" nanunuyang sabi niya. My blood boiled.

"Gusto mo? Why? Is Kirk a threat on you?" doon na natigilan si Kuya Avo sa sinabi ko. Sumalubong ang kanyang kilay.

"Hindi lang ako ang makikinabang dito Ava. Ikaw rin!" he growled.

"If I didn't force him to quit, mawawalan na ng time sa'yo si Kirk! You wer-" I stood up as my anger rises.

"Don't you dare use me as an excuse to force him to quit. I. Will. Never. Ever. Gonna. Do. That. To. Him. Not a million dollar" I gritted my teeth.

He stopped. Napatitig lang siya sa akin at may kung anong iniisip. Na para bang may sinabi akong nakakapagpalalim ng kanyang iniisip. Wala na akong pakialam doon.

Humugot ako ng malalim na hinga.

"You were going to die anyway" he murmured. Napatigil ako. My heart skipped. W-What?

Hindi ako nakahuma sa sinabi niya. I stared at him. Hinihintay ko siyang bawiin 'yun but he avoid his gaze at me.

My heart broke. He deliberately said it. Ang sakit po. Mommy, Daddy, Ang sama po ni Kuya.

I sniffed and lifted my head to prevent my tears to fall out on my cheeks. Napansin kong lumingon sandali si Kuya pero binawi naman niya kaagad.

Ang sakit!

"H-Hindi mo man lang b-babawiin?" parang batang sumamo ko. He looked at me. I saw on his eyes, the pain and agony.

"A-Ayaw mo na sa akin? Gusto mo na ba akong mamatay?" I laughed sarcastically. I sniffed.
