JASMINE's POV
"Anak, aalis muna si daddy. My emergency sa opisina. You call me if anything happen okay?"
Bungad ni dad sakin sa pintuan ng kwarto ko. I did not bother to ask what happened since I already knew dad. Ayaw nyang nag.aalala kami sa kanya. He can handle everything anyway. He's the best.
"Yes dad. Ingat po." I stand off my study table ang partly hugged him. Dad smiled and kissed my forehead.
"Sge na bye anak".
He then walked down the stairs so I walked back my place.
"It's good you're here. I'm going , you take care of your sister alright. I'm not sure kung anong oras matatapos yun." I hear daddy says.
I sighed thinking na pinauwi na naman nya si kuya.
"Yes dad."
Someone then entered my room.
"Kuya?"
"Mai,"
"Pinauwi ka na naman ni daddy?" I even pouted. "Dahil sakin." Kuya smiled lightly.
"Don't feel sorry for me bunso. Gusto rin naman kitang samahan dito sa bahay eh" Tinapik nya ko ng mahina sa braso.
"But kuya, you were with your friends right, at dito naman sila nanang eh. Sila kuya Pao, mang Pepe, kuya Alex, andami namin dito"
"Yes I know bunso. Pero syempre kuya mo ko. I'll take care of you."
I find it sweet kaya I smiled at him.
"Thank you kuya." I hugged him which made him laugh softly.
"Sige na, matulog ka na. Nasa kwarto lang ako kapag may kailangan ka."
"Good night kuya"
"Night bunso." Hinalikan nya ako sa forehead tsaka sinundan ko sya ng tingin palabas ng kwarto ko.
I smiled of the thought that I'm really lucky to have such a thoughtful brother. And the best dad in the world.
I remember mom. I can still remember those
sweet lips smiling at me telling me that I'm pretty with those ribbons on my hair back on my 10th birthday. That was actually my last birthday with mom.
My mommy Jaimee left us when I was 10. My dad told me nothing why. But nanang told me that dad and mom were not in love with each other anymore.
But when I asked Kuya, he said mom has her own family and she dont love us anymore , she's not happy with us so she left.
I'm not mad at mommy, I understand her reasons that time. I feel hurt to see her leave that moment, but it hurts more to see Kuya crying so hard begging for mommy to stay.
My Kuya is a mama's boy way back then. Now, everyone see him as a naughty boy with gangster friends. Whatever was that, I still see Kuya as the greatest Kuya anyone could ever have.
-Flashback-
I hear kuya and daddy quarrelling .
"What have you done again Mheg Ryan Villareal??"-Dad
"Dad, self defense yun. Kung di namin pinuruhan yun, baka kami pa nasa ospital ngayon."
"Give me your car keys" authoritative tone.
"What?"
"You need to give it to me in a count of 5, if not I will freeze your account."
"Wait! paano ko mahahatid si Maimai?"
"Magpapahatid kayo sa driver."
"Eh yung personal kong lakad?"
"1.2.3--" Warning ni daddy. Ang cute nilang dalawa tignan lalo na si kuya na di maipinta yung itsura.
"Ok fine. Eto na" pagkuha nya ng car key sa bulsa nya which made daddy smirked.
"The next time you'll do it, you know what will happen."
"I just think you want me tortured by those dumb ass.."
"Alam mo, ang layo mo sa kapatid---" kuya smirked and run upstairs.
"Magkocommute na nga ako dad. Good night dude!" He playfully shouted.
Daddy sighed so I walked towards him and smiled.
-End Flashback-
I turned off the light in my room and opened my lampshade.
"Thank you God for a good day. Please take care of dad. And keep us safe. Good night"
Touched the crucifix and signed cross. Jasmine Xyriel Villarreal is going to sleep.
