"The movie's great," sabi ko kay Kuya Michael. I discovered that it is a film directed by Kuya Michael's colleague.


"You love it?" He asked me. Tumango ako sa kanya. "I'll tell it to my friend," he continued.


Yes, that was a terrific film, but I'm not going to see it again.


"Who cried?" Kuya Erice, who is walking beside me, asked and I glared at him.


"Who?" They exchanged glances, and Kuya Erice chuckled. With his lips, he pointed at me. As I scowled at them, they grinned back.


"Kuya!" Lumayo sa akin si Kuya Erice at tumabi kay Kuya Ali.


"I pity the male lead. He died because of that disease. That's sad." Kuya Khris said.


"Mmh!" Kuya Raye agreed.


Kuya Erice chuckled as he stated, "It was sad that Shay sobbed."


"Why do you have to say it!" Sabi ko sa kanya at lumipat sa tabi niya para paluin.


"Ouch!"


"Really?" Kuya Michael asked at tumango si Kuya Erice habang tumatawa pa rin.


"You have a wonderful heart." Kuya Topher remarked, "You know, like a mamon." I'm sure he's hungry now that he's comparing my heart to food.


Lumabas na kami ng cinema at nakita kong marami ng tao. Gabi na rin kaya ang ganda ng paligid, there were night lights everywhere. It's so beautiful.


"Where are we going to eat?" I asked. I noticed Kuya Ali on the phone with someone.


Maya maya ay binaba na rin niya yung tawag at sinabing, "we have a reservation at a restaurant."


I nodded at naglakad na kami papunta sa sinasabi niyang restaurant. We entered a building and went straight to the lift. Pinindot ni Kuya Ali yung fourth floor button.


A staff greeted us and guided us to our reserved room. Nagulat ako nang makita ko si Lolo sa loob.


"Lolo!" I smiled at him at pumunta sa kanya para batiin.


"Did you enjoy the movie?" He asked.


"Yes! But I won't watch it again," I told him.


"Oh! Why? I thought you liked it," he continued, turning to face my brothers.


"Shay cri-" hindi na tinuloy ni Kuya Erice yung sasabihin niya when I acted like I was going to pinch him again. "Eto na! I'll shut up na!" He said and laughed.


Kuya Michael pulls out the chair next to Lolo's. "Sit here," sabi niya sa akin.
