By Your Side

Chapter 43

"Where's Mommy?" Kuya asked him as soon as we went back to the couch.

"Ang haba na ng buhok mo, Sands." Ate said and fixed his hair.

"Tata?" he called me. "Yes?" I asked, he just embraced me and leaned his head in my chest.

"Kailan mo ba balak mag-anak?" Ate asked. "Ngayon, bigyan kita ng bagong pamangkin gusto mo?" I asked, they laughed.

"Wow, isasabay sa anniversary nila." Kuya teased, I rolled my eyes.

Then Ate tapped my shoulder. "Gusto ko 'yan, mamaya humingi kana agad ng anak kay Greggy." she said.

"Oo nga! aba hindi naman siya lugi 'no, ang ganda ganda ba naman ng kapatid ko e." Kuya uttered, I looked at him.

"Anong gusto mo?" I asked, he frowned. "Anong gusto?" he asked.

"Bakit pinupuri mo ako ha?" I asked, they laughed. "Masama bang puriin ka?" he asked. "Kaya nga!" Ate answered.

"Parang hindi kayo kilala." I said, they laughed. Then we just continue watching TV at nangangalay na ako dahil karga ko pa rin si Sandro na natutulog ngayon.

I already took a bath and Ate told me to wear a dress, I don't know what's the reason but I still did what she told me.

We're now playing cards now and Ate is now frowning because she keeps losing in the game.

"Sandali, dinadaya niyo ako 'no?!" she hissed,we looked at her.

"Paano ka naman naming dadayain?" I asked. "Ang sabihin mo, ate hindi ka lang talaga marunong." Kuya said.

Ate hit his arms. "Marunong ako!" she hissed, we laughed.

Then I checked my phone. "Nasaan na ba itong si Greggy, anong oras na e." I uttered.

"Baka busy lang." Ate answered. "Mahirap ba mag-update?" I asked.

"Eto naman, hayaan mo na." she said. "6:40pm na, eh anong oras pa kaya dadating yun?" I asked.

"Baka pauwi na." Kuya answered. "Sandali.." I uttered and stood up to go in the kitchen.

I want something sweet, nakita ko naman yung cadbury sa freezer kaya kinuha ko na. Then I saw my siblings in the garden, talking.

"Ayusin mo yung boses mo ha." Ate told him. "Oo, ate. Ako pa ba.." Kuya answered.

"Dapat yung hindi niya mahahalata, hoy Bongbong ha." Kuya scratched his head.

"Oo nga, ate kulit!" he hissed. "Ano 'yan ha?" I asked and went to them.

They seems to be surprised. "Oh para kayong nakakita ng multo, ako lang 'to, yung maganda niyong kapatid." I uttered, they rolled their eyes.

Then Ate looked at my fingers. "Saan ka nagpagawa ng kuko?" she asked.

"Ang random mo, pero sa Makati. Ang ganda 'no?" I asked, she nodded.

"Samahan mo ako 'pag nakauwi. Papagawa rin ako." she said. "May bayad." I answered, she looked at me.

"Oh bakit, magpapasama ka nalang, hindi ka pa magbabayad." I added.

"Parang hindi kapatid ah!" she hissed, we laughed. "Magkano ba bayad?" Kuya asked.

"Ay wow, libre mo ako?" Ate asked and clung into his arms. "Nagtanong lang, huwag kang assuming, ate." Kuya answered, napabitaw naman si Ate.

"Sama mo!" Ate hissed, we laughed. "10k lang naman." I replied.
