New World With Him [COMPLETED]

"Hoy! Chard! Gising na jan."

"Hoy karin Niko, Could you please give me more time to rest? Luko ka anong oras na tayo nakadating dito from Manila. Pagod pa ko oh, can't you see?"

Di ko na napigilang batuhin sya ng unan. If one will ask me what i want now, i'll answer rest. Yung lang. Ba't ba kasi ako sumama dito sa kaibigan kong to eh.

"Hoy Chard, ayus ayusin mo yung pag approach mo kay Niko kapag nasa Amansina na tayo ah."

I heard my other bestfriend Sam. Nang magsink in ang sinabi ni Sam ay napabangon ako ng wala sa oras.

"Ow shoot! Sorry Nick, wala pa naman tayo sa inyo diba?"

"It's ok Chard. Alam ko pagod ka parin. Relax lang."

Ow i forgot I'm Chard Faulkerson Jr. My family owns Hotels inside and outside of the country. But im into a restaurant business. Kasama ko ngayon ang mga matalik kong kaibigan, Samir Gogna and Niko Capili-Mendosa my business partners also.

You maybe asking kung bakit ako binigyan ng babala ni Sam about Niko. Because Niko is not just my bachelor business partner but also a prince from a native tribe in the Cordillera Region. Actually successor of the throne but since his father is still as strong as him, he decided to study in Manila, be my business partner and all. Hinayaan naman sya ng ama nya kaya wala namang problema. He's well trained in becoming a good leader and as he said, kahit anong oras daw na sinabi ng ama nyang hindi nya na kaya eh handa syang bumalik sa Amansina at pamunuan ito.

And being a good friend, he asked us to visit his place this summer vacation. Ipapasyal nya daw kami. Since Wala din naman kaming ginagawa ni Sam so we decided to go, new environment, new adventure, new culture.

"Prepare lang ako then pwede na tayo umalis."

I said while walking to the bathroom.

"Don't hurry too much. Hihintayin pa natin yung dalawang kapatid ko. Sasabay daw sina Dayan at De-an sa atin paakyat."

"Ok." I answered

Pumasok narin ako sa bathroom pero rinig ko parin yung usapan nila.

"Naikwento ko naman siguro sila diba?" Nico said

"Yah. Diba napakita mo pa nga yung picture ni Dayan, De-an at Ate Anna samin? From you trip 3 months ago?" Mabilis namang sabi ni Sam

"Good. Dayan is three years younger than me. College na sya dito sa Baguio, she's taking law. While my youngest brother De-an, is seven years younger than me. High school palang at kasama nya si Dayan dito sa Baguio." Kwento ni Niko.

Di ko na napigilang makisali narin sa usapan nila.

"Diba may older sister ka pa dito?"

"Yes. Si Ate Anna. May family na sya dito sa Baguio pero mamayang gabi pa alis nila kasi may trabaho pa si Kuya John. Her husband is a government official dito. Vice-mayor ng Benguet. May pamangkin ako si Matti. I miss that kid so much."

Ramdam ko yung pagka miss ni Niko sa mga kapatid nya. Gaya ng pagkamiss ko din sa mga kapatid kong nasa states na lahat.

"Si Ate Anna, ikaw, Dayan and De-an. Bat apat lang? I thought your five?"

Si Sam talaga minsan di mapigilan pagka chismoso eh.

"Ah oo may isa pa, bunsong kapatid ko na babae. Si Deia. She's 5 years younger than me, and three years older than De-an."
