#TCS41: Back on the Game

"Kailan mo pa nakilala ang Ate namin ha?" Rebel asked with furrowed eyebrows, looking keenly at Akakios. I almost chuckled because Akakios's sitting straight and across him were my siblings doing some kind of interrogation.

While, I'm watching him while I'm at the kitchen preparing some snacks for the hungry wolves. Mabuti na lang at wala si Chewy ngayon dahil nasa vet ito dahil nagkasakit 'nung nakaraan.

"Anong magic meron ka? Ba't mo natatawag si Ate gamit ang pangalan na 'yun?" Fate asked with pure curiosity and he's looking at him like she's solving some crossword puzzle with so much fun.

"Why are you here in her unit? And why do you act so cozy around her?" Justice continued the parade of questions. Although, he's the only one who looked not that serious and light hearted among everyone, he still gives off the protective aura.

"Anong pangalan mo? Ilang taon ka na? Sinong magulang mo? Where do you study or work?" I was almost jaw dropped when I heard the nonstop queries from my fake older brother, Law. My goodness. Is he interviewing Akakios for some job?

"Kuya Batas naman! Kulang na lang hingan mo ng resume?" Natatawang sabat ni Gabby.

"So, ano? Sa 'yo mag-aaply ng trabaho?" Kantiyaw pa ni Justice sa nakasimangot na si Law.

"Baka gusto mo pagawan ng essay, tingnan natin kung papasa?" Dagdag pa ni Rebel at saka nakipag-apir kay Justice at Fate.

"I'm serious." Maikling saad ni Law at saka masamang tiningnan ang tatlo. I almost lost my composure when I saw the three, looking lost little kittens when the foremost scolded them. They all pouted sadly and defeated. They bowed their heads and their eyes looked so cute.

I controlled myself from giggling at the kitchen however, one soft laughter caught all of our attention.

Law's mouth formed a little 'o' when he saw Akakios chuckling softly because of the scene they were creating. The three gasped and looked at him in astonishment. Even I was caught off guard with what Akakios did.

Hindi nakapagsalita ang mga kapatid ko sa mahinang tawa ni Akakios. He smiled at them brightly. Natulala silang lahat at saka marahang napangiti na para bang sobrang tuwang tuwa kay Akakios dahil sobrang amo nito.

Even Law who's the evillest among us, smiled! Oh, my gosh! This is a feat! Law don't smile that sincere! All his smiles are playful and somehow evil. But this one is just... purely genuine.

I wish I had Akakios charm! This innocent angel just tamed a devil!

"I'm Akakios Laurentius Monteverde..." He started when I finished preparing some snack so I went to them to put it on the centre table and of course, to join their conversation or more like interrogation.

"I met Silhouette months ago." Sinabi n'ya kung paano kami nagkakilala, kung saan, at kung paano. Madaldal ang mga kapatid ko lalo na si Gabby at Justice, pero napapangiti ako nang tahimik sa tabi ni Akakios dahil sobrang nakikinig lang ang dalawa na para bang nagayuma at saka patango tango pa.

"Name? Anong name? Her name's Miracle Silhouette Evans right?" Napalunok ako nang sabihin n'ya ang tunay na apelyido ko kaya halos sabay sabay napatingin sa akin ang mga kapatid ko. I gulped, twice, and smiled at them awkwardly.
