About You | H. Ran

05

Ran drove you home at ngayon naman ang aga aga nakita mo agad sasakyan niya. "That's Kuya Ran po, diba?" Eli asked, your grade 6 sister.

The door opened at lumabas na agad si Ran. Agad na bumitaw ang nakababata mong kapatid na si Althea pero nakita mong may sasakyan na paparating kaya nanlaki ang mata mo.

"Thea!" You shouted.

Agad na tumakbo papunta si Ran sa kapatid mo at binuhat ito. Yakap yakap niya ito. Pagkalagpas ng sasakyan ay agad kang tumakbo papunta sa kapatid mo.

"Thea, are you okay?" You asked.

"Yes! Kuya Ran saved me!" She said and wrapped Ran's neck.

"Please, don't do that again. Look at your ate. She's worried." He said.

"It's okay. Thank you, Ran." You said.

"Are you okay, Eli?" Ran asked at tumango naman si Eli.

"Get inside na." He said and opened the door of his car kaya pumasok na si Eli sa loob at kinabit niya naman ang seatbelt ni Thea.

Umikot ka pa and he opened the door for you. "Seatbelt." He reminded.

That car was fast buti na lang mabilis si Ran kumilos. You're still shaking. Tangina. Ran started the engine at nag drive na papunta sa school niyo.

Tahimik ka lang sa byahe at nagulat ka when he held your hand. Ang isang kamay niya ay nakahawak sa manibela. "Calm down. She's safe." He said while gently caressing your hand.

You looked at your little sister na nakayakap sa ate niya. "Don't do that again, please. You almost gave me a heart attack, thea."

"I'm sorry, ate."

Buti na lang talaga Ran's there. Baka kung wala siya, hindi mo alam gagawin ngayon. "It's alright. Basta, you should wait na lang for Kuya Ran na magpunta sayo." You said.

"Opo ate. I'm sorry, Kuya Ran."

Ran just smiled while driving. "It's okay."

He parked his car sa usual spot niya at agad siyang bumaba to open the door for you and your sisters.

"Thank you po, Kuya Ran." Both of your sisters said.

"Study well." He said.

Agad na nagpaalam sayo ang mga kapatid mo kaya kiniss mo agad sa cheeks parehas. "Pag may gusto kayo, puntahan niyo lang ako sa high school building."

"Okay po!"

You looked at Ran. "Ran, i'm sorry." You said.

"It's not your fault. I should be the one na nagso sorry sayo." He said.

"Pasensya ka na kay Thea. Muntik na kayo maadisgrasya." You said.

He smiled. "Okay nga lang."

You tighten your grip sa paper bag na hawak mo. "Here's your shirt and blazer. Thank you so much."

Agad niya naman itong tinanggap. "You should've kept my shirt na lang."

"Huh? Luxury brand 'yon."

"So? I can buy more than that naman." He answered at nilagay sa loob ng sasakyan niya ito.
