How Love Found Us: Zeyn's Innocence And His First

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya. "I love you, Shadrach." I don't want to answer him. Things can change in a minute at hindi natin alam ang mangyayari sa susunod na araw.

"Tita, good afternoon po." Bati níya kay mommy. "Good afternoon, zerl." Sa kuya ko naman na masama na naman ang tingin habang naka upo sa sofa.

"Good afternoon, ijho. Thank you for sending my daughter home."

"It's my job/ it's his job mom." Sabay na sabi ni Shadrach at kuya.  "And you can leave now, Shadrach." Ani kuya.

"Zerl you're so rude. Act based on what I taught you." Sita ni mommy. "I'm sorry ijho."

"It's okay po."

"Mom, uuwi na po si Shad." Singit ko. Iba na kasi talaga ang kilos ni kuya, sumusobra na siya. "Shad, call me when you're home."

He kissed me in my forehead before leaving. "Bye, love."

"Bye, take care. Ingat sa pagdadrive."

As soon as Shadrach leave ay pinaupo ako ni kuya, mag uusap daw kami ng masinsinan na akala mo e ang laki ng kasalanan ko.

"Bakit ba kuya." Naiinis na ako.

"Simula nung naging kayo ganyan kana."

"Anong ganyan? What I am doing?"

"Yan, you're always there! Dun sa bahay nila at hindi mo man lang maisip na walang kasama si mommy dito. See, every weekend you were there halos tumira kana don."

"Zerl, stop it anak."

"No mommy! Masyado niyo kasing kinakampihan yan e kaya nagkakaganyan." Wow ah! He's just overreacting! Masyado niyang palinapalaki ang issue.

"Will you please stop overreacting kuya! Masyado ka ng nangengealam yet I didn't get involves on your things."

"Ganun? Masyado akong nangengealam? I'm overreacting? Sige magmula ngayon wala ng pakialamanan!" He shouted.

"I said stop!" Bulyaw din ni mommy. "Can't you here me? Wala na ba akong karapatan na bumoses nilang Ina niyo?" Mommy is mad and since I came in mind ay hindi ko pa siya nakitang nagalit ng ganito. "You are siblings tapos kayo pa ang mag aaway? Kayo... Kayo na lang ang meron ako." And now she started to cry and I hate it. "Kayo na lang tapos mag aaway away pa kayo? Zerl you're the older and you should understand your sister alam kong prinoprotektahan mo lang siya but anak, she's now a lady and give her a freedom may tiwala naman tayo sa kanya and I know that she will never do things na hindi nararapat."

"I'm just being concerned mommy."

"Yes, I know that son pero hayaan mo ang kapatid mo she how to think what's best for her." Mommy holds my hand. "And zeyn, hindi dahil binibigyan ka ng kalayaan ay sasagarin mo na. Ijha, we love you that's why we give you freedom with a limitations at sana naman makinig ka minsan sa kuya he's just thinking about what's good for you. Mahal na mahal ko kayo at ayokong nakikita ko kayong nag aaway tayo na lang ang magkakasama ngayon and we should respect and love each other just like before."

"I'm sorry, Mmy." Kuya said at umalis mommy called him pero hindi na siya lumingon pa.

"I'm sorry Mommy."

Hinawakan niya ang mukha ko at niyakap ako. "Naging masama ba akong Ina? Bakit parang I felt like I didn't took care of you while you were growing maybe nagkulang ako sa pag alaga."

"No, mommy. You're more than anything you gives us love at hindi ka po nagkulang."

Hinanap niya ako. "Ijha, is it okay if I'll permission to you?"
