Watching The Sun, Disappear (Highschool Series)

"No-" My mom cutted my dad's words

"Anthony! I said stop it already!" My mom shouted that made my dad stop.

He glared at us and marched upstairs. I turned to kuya who seems crying.

"Kuya, kuya are you okay? Sinaktan ka ba n'ya? Anong nangyari? Tell me." I cupped his face and saw some mound on his face.

He just hugged me and cried.

I hugged him back while rubbing his back

"Louisse I can't take this anymore, I want to leave this hell " He told me crying

My eyes heated because of what he said, him and dad never had a good relationship with each other. When we were young dad used to beat kuya because of some stupid things, like when kuya got an eighty on his card. Ever since we were little he's been pressuring us. Awang awa ako kay kuya pero ano pa nga bang kaya kong gawin? Ako ang bunso.

"I know kuya, shh" I hugged him tight while we were both crying.

Umuwi nalang ako dahil mukha namang wala akong mapapala dito, umuwi na rin si kuya sa condo n'ya dahil baka lumala pa ang mga bagay bagay.

Bago ako umuwi, pumunta muna ako sa Café malapit sa condo ko.

I ordered cookies and Iced coffee.

I sat there and think about life.

"Wow sitting pretty yung isa d'yan oh"

I heard someone beside me and i turned to look at them.

"Oh Jiro, what are you doing here?" I asked him, was he following me?

He sighed and looked at the view "Papahangin lang, nakakasakal e. Ikaw?" He sat down infront of me

"Hey I don't remember inviting you to seat with me." I raised my eyebrow and looked at him.

"Dun rin naman papunta 'yon." He looked at me and smiled.

"Same reason." I answered.

"Huh?"

"Nakakasakal rin, I came here to relax but you ruined it." I sarcastically said

"Sorry naman madam." He apologize and about to leave.

"Hey I'm just kidding what the hell?" I stopped him.

"Ayaw din pala akong umalis e." He teasingly smiled and sat back down.

"I need someone's company." I explained

"Business Woman ka pala, ang galing." He sipped on his coffee

"What?"

Ano daw?

"Sabi mo you need someone's company edi business woman ka." He said.

I swear to God, this man.

I bit my lips trying not to smile at his joke. I mean its not even that funny!

"Uy tatawa na s'ya." He teased me and I laughed

I stopped laughing when I realized that I laughed at his joke.

"You're not that funny." I looked away and sipped on my coffee

"E ba't tumawa ka?" He asked teasingly.

"Of course you're making me laugh by saying "uy tatawa na s'ya" " I copied him that makes him smile. "You're the one who's laughing." I rolled my eyes and looked at the view outside

"Ediwow"

He whispered but I can still hear him.

"Okay, I got to go. Thanks for having a conversation with me tonight, i appreciate it." I stood up and so is he.
