"Every man is a child inside, wanting to play."

*****

" Can you just answer my question?" My brother asked while whining. Most of the time I really think that he's a child trapped in a man's body.

" I already gave you my answer. What else do you want?" I said exasperatedly. I already answered him when he asked me where did I go when I skipped my class.

I told him that I had a talk with Knight. But being the nosy, annoying brother that he is, he wants to know what we talked about.

He pointed a finger to me accusingly. "Because you're not telling me everything. Anong pinag-usapan nyo?" pagkatapos ay niyugyog ako ng husto.

Damn. Parang maisusuka ko na ata kinain ko kaninang umaga. He can be so persistent when he want to.

But I'm stubborn. There's no way I would tell him what Knight told me. I need to figure out something first.

" Can you just leave it for now. I will tell you in time. We have more important matters to do first." I asked tiredly. Di pa kami nag-umpisa magtrabaho pero parang nadrain na lahat ng energy ko dahil sa kanya.

" Fine. I won't ask about it. For now." He then narrowed his eyes. I let out a breath of relief. " Let's go. May appointment pa tayo sa mga Castillo."

_••_••_••_

" Thank you for giving us your time and help." Mr. Castillo shook mine and my brother's hand.

" It's a pleasure making business with you, sir." Rain said while having a charming smile on his lips.

The sound of opening door interrupted Mr. Castillo's reply. Ah, just in time.

" What's going on here? What are you two doing here in our house?" She said while glaring at us and her voice is like a venom itself.

" Xyrene! Bakit ganyan ka makipag-usap sa mga bisita natin? Apologize to them now." Her father said with full authority in his voice.

Tahimik lamang kaming nakikinig ni Rain sa kanilang usapan. Pero halata sa aking kapatid na na-aamuse sya sa nangyayari.

The ever prim and proper Xyrene Castillo is loosing her cool infront of other people. My, my this should be interesting. I can't wait to see her expression when her father tell why we're here.

                      Xyrene's Point of View

" Why would I apologize to them? You don't know this people, dad! You don't know what they're capable of!" I said raising my voice. What are they doing here? Trash like them shouldn't be stepping in our house.

"Don't raise your voice to me, young lady. They helped us from possible bankruptcy of our company. If it wasn't for them, san ka ngayon pupulutin?" Sabi ng aking ama. Halos lumabas na din ang ugat sa kanyang noo sa sobrang galit.

I can't believe it! Kinakampihan pa nya ang mga taong yan kaysa sa sarili niyang anak.

" Bakit sa kanya ka pa humingi ng tulong? Bakit hindi sa mga Gregory? Siguradong tutulungan tayo ng pamilya ni Bryle. Fiancee ko sya remember?" I said smugly while looking at her.

Just this time, I will gloat it in her face. Ang taong dating sa kanya ay engaged na ngayon sa akin.

Ella's point of view

She's looking at me smugly but I remained nonchalant about this whole ordeal. I don't even care kung fiancee nya si  Gregory

I won't give her the satisfaction in getting a reaction from me and I think it pisses her off.
