STELL

Akala ko I can finally have my good night sleep tonight. Akala ko lang pala.

"Stell..." I heard a few knocks on my door and the voice of my dear twin.

I haven't had any decent sleep for the past three nights because of some works and school loads and I badly wanted to have one. But I guess it's more of a dream right now.

Pinilit ko na ibangon ang aking sarili dahil hindi rin naman ako tatantanan ni Pablo kapag hindi ko siya pinagbuksan ng pinto at hinarap.

I frustratedly groaned.

Wala pa sigurong bente minutos mula ng makatulog ako kaya't pakiramdam ko'y may kung anong tumutusok sa ulo ko dahil sa pagkaalimpungat.

I unenthusiastically opened the door.

"What is it this time?" walang ganang tanong ko.

I saw him became fidgety. Maybe because of my tone.

"Oh come on Pablo! Just spit it out. Para makabalik na 'ko sa dreamland." nayayamot na saad ko.

Agad naman itong sumagot.

"Can you accompany me?" he asked.

"Accompany where?" I replied.

"Uhm...grocery store?" hindi siguradong sagot ni Pablo.

"Grocery store? What do you need ba?  I'll go get it tomorrow for you." I said.

Muling naging malikot ang mga mata nito.

"Pwede bang ngayon na?" he softly asked.

Wait what?!

"What do you mean 'ngayon na'? It's already past 11 pm. The stores are surely closed at this hour. Ano bang kailangan mo at hindi pwedeng ipagpabukas hah??" dire diretsong tugon ko.

Medyo nakonsensya naman ako dahil nakita kong lumungkot ang mukha nito.

"I'm c-craving for pickles and p-peanut butter." he replied.

I heard his voice cracked so he must be really wanted to eat that.

After a few weeks ng pagdeprived sa sarili at hindi pagkain ng tama, he's now into his craving phase.

Noong nakaraang araw, he bought some chips and tons of chocolates. And he literally eats everything with chocolate.

I don't know if pregnancy messed up his taste buds but it seems like that.

So I thought it will be much easier to deal with him right now, and again, akala ko lang pala.

Ngayon, he wants some pickles and peanut butter. Sa dis-oras ng gabi.

Kung siguro i'm pretty well rested, mapapagbigyan ko siya eh. Pero in my current state, siguradong i'll burnout at baka madamay pa siya sa pag aattitude ko and might hurt him in the end.

So going out tonight is really a bad idea.

Pero we must deal with his cravings.

So a thought came up on my mind.

"Hindi tayo pwedeng lumabas ngayong gabi. I can't drive for you cause I need some good rest or else we'll just go into trouble. And I won't let you drive as well. So i'm calling Ken and ask him to buy those for you." I said and immediately picked up my phone on the bedside table.

"D-Don't!" he exclaimed.

Anong 'don't!'??

"What?!" ganting tanong ko.

The heck is wrong with this guy?!?

"J-Just...don't bother him, please Stell...?" mahinang wika nito.

Bother? Sa tingin ba niya eh abala siya sa boyfriend niya??? Pigilan niyo 'ko. Kukutusan ko na talaga 'tong kapatid ko!

"And why I shouldn't Pablo?" I replied. "He's your boyfriend. The father of your unborn child. Bakit hindi ko siya pwedeng abalahin para sa pagkain na hinihingi ng anak niyo? Then who shall I bother then? Kapitbahay natin hah??" I sarcastically asked.

Saglit na natutop sa pagkakatayo si Pablo at hindi agad nakasagot.

I'm also standing still in front of him with a hand on my waist and a face of annoyance.

"I...I don't wanna see him..." katwiran nito.

"Eh bakit nga??!" I immediately respond.

Hindi ko rin talaga magets kung anong problema niya sa pagmumukha ni Ken at aayaw niya itong nakikita. Samantalang noon, parang batang nagtutwinkle pa ang eyes sa twing magkasama silang dalawa.

Hayss!

"I...I hate his scent." he guiltily answered.

Ohhh... owkay?

So that's the reason?

So yun ang dahilan ng pakikipagpatintero niya sa kanyang boyfriend?

"Hindi ko alam kung bakit Stell pero ayokong maamoy ang pheromones niya. It makes me...sick." seryosong wika nito.

Now I understand why he became so distant with him. It's because of his scent.

Wait, why did that happen? Diba it was supposed to be the other way around? That, I don't get.

"Uhmm if we can't go talaga, can you ask Maverick instead?" hirit ni Pablo.

WHAT??!

"Ano??!" nabiglang tugon ko. "Teka teka lang hah. Sandali." I said while motioning both of my hands in the air. "Bakit naman si Maverick ang gusto mong abalahin ko, aber? That will be the inappropriate 'bother'." I said.

Pablo sadly looked down as if he was scolded by his parents.

"Kasi..." he murmurs his whole sentence so I didn't heard any.

"Lakasan mo at hindi ko madinig." I ordered.

"I said, kasi he's kind. And actually, he smells nice." Pablo shyly replied. "He somewhat keeps me calm, I guess."

So that's why he's been clinging to him.

I heaved a sighed.

Tutal naman ay mukhang walang balak sumuko ang kakambal kong 'to. I'll just obey him and get what he demanded. Para matapos na at ng mayakap ko na ang pinakamamahal kong mga unan.

"Alright alright. I'll do that. Give me his number so you can go to your room." I said at agad na ibinigay ang phone ko sa kanya.

He saved Maverick's number and said his thanks.

"Sige na. Get some sleep for a while. Baka mayamaya pa rin 'to makarating dito." saad ko.

"Okay. Thank you so much Stell. For everything." he smiled and made his way back to his room.

I shut the door and flop myself into bed.

I was too lazy and i'm so tired but I still need to take care of my brother. I don't want to complain cause I love him but heck, i'm only human.

Naku ka talaga Pablo Nase! Kung di lang talaga kita mahal! Nakuuu!

I looked at my phone and dial his number.
