(T.V News | Playing on the cars radio)
| Headlines | Motorcycle rider dead, six hurt in Skyway  accident.
" Due to heavy rains today, a motorcycle rider loses its control, crashing on a truck which caused heavy traffic. At least seven victims were rushed to the hospital but the motorcycle rider was pronounced dead on arrival."

...

I woke up na kinakabahan mula sa panaginip ko as it seems insanely real. May kulay ang paligid and is also exactly accurate to today's date.

Nahalata ni kuya ang nervousness and ang pagiging uneasy sa mga galaw ko.

"Let me guess, you had a bad dream again."

Yup, he knows me well.

"Don't worry, kuya is here for you. As long as you're with me, nothing bad will happen. Ok?" Pag comfort pa niya sa akin.

"Mmm.. ok kuya, I know naman na you always got my back." I answered him with a smile while he smiled at me back.

I felt more calmed and not long after, nadistract na din ako ng excitement ko at nakalimutan ang particular dream na iyon as we are on our way to celebrate mom and dad's anniversary together, I could say that it would be our family quality time.

Us having dinner as a whole, hmm how should I put this.. it is like a limited opportunity with limited time offer only HAHAHA.

*phone chimes*

"Yes, hello mom. Yeah, we'll arrive there soon po. See you." Sagot ni kuya over the phone.

"𝙎𝙞𝙜𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙩 𝙠𝙖𝙮𝙤 𝙝𝙖, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙨𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙖 𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙤". Sagot naman ni mom.

" 𝙃𝙖𝙮𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙪𝙮𝙖. 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙠𝙤". Comment ko pa after ibaba ni kuya ang phone call. Then he nodded.

"𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙄'𝙢 really 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙣𝙖 𝙨𝙖 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙖𝙙'𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙧𝙮". I added.

Sunod-sunod ang daldal ko kay kuya pero hindi siya nagagalit or naiinis manlang sa akin.

" 𝙃𝙢𝙢 𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙖 𝙣𝙜𝙖 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙨𝙖 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙢𝙤 𝙚𝙝 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 ". Sabay ngiti na tugon ni kuya with matching pat sa head ko.

" 𝙆𝙪𝙮𝙖 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 no doubt 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙, ah no, It should be in the whole universe rather". Random compliment ko pa sa kaniya.

"𝙊𝙛 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙠𝙤 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙣𝙖𝙜-𝙞𝙞𝙨𝙖 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙠𝙖𝙮𝙖 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙖 𝙠𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚". Pang-asar pa niya.

I always feel safe talaga when I'm with my brother. Once in a while na lang kami magbonding ng ganito since he's often busy as he is the heir of our company and he'll be needing to take over it very soon.
