11 - Save me

Jennie's POV

"Hey baby, wake up. It's already morning." 

Dahan dahan kong binuksan yung mata ko at nakita ko sa gilid ko si taehyung na nakatitig sakin at nakangiti ng sobrang lawak.

"Hey.. goodmorning.." I smiled at him and then pinched his cheeks.

"Come on, mag hilamos kana at mag snorkeling daw tayo nila namjoon hyung. Andun na sila sa baba nag bebreakfast." Sabi ni taehyung habang pinaglalaruan yung buhok ko.

"But baby.. I'm still sleepy huhuhu." Nag talukbong ako ng kumot at pinikit ko yung mata ko.

"Wag na matigas ulo. Sino ba kasi mag sabi na mag lasing ka kagabi?" Ayan na. 

Ayan nanaman siya sa sermon niya. Ugh!

"Fine! Eto na po tatayo na!" Inirapan ko siya at dali daling tumayo papunta sa banyo.

"Bilisan mo ha!" Rinig kong sigaw niya.

Bago ako pumasok ay sinilip ko muna siya sa pinto at binelatan. Natawa naman siya at binelatan rin ako.

Ugh! I hate him!

Padabog kong isinara yung pinto.

"Bakit ba ang hilig hilig ng lalaking yun na pagalitan ako? Ano ko siya nanay? Grr!" Inis kong sabi habang nakaharap sa salamin.

Speaking of nanay, I suddenly remembered something.

Ang tagal ko ng hindi nakakausap si mom. I think 13 years old palang ako nung huli ko siyang nakausap. I'm 20 years old now and she's not even answering my calls.

Si kuya namjoon lang ang kinakausap niya. Sometimes I feel a little jealous kasi lagi niya kausap si mom and then nag kikita sila sa iba't ibang bansa without me. I feel so left out pero hindi ko yon pinapahalata.

And then I accidentally heard their conversation one time. Nasa living room non si kuya and papasok ako sa school. I heard him shouting and cursing at the same time.

He's saying na 'I don't care about that damn girl! I already have jennie on my side and I'll never replace her to that wicked child of yours! We're not even related by blood for god sake!' Syempre nagulat ako kasi galit na galit talaga si kuya nung umagang yon.

And what does he mean na 'wicked child of yours?' I don't get it until now. Naguguluhan pa rin ako.

Lalabas na sana ako nung time na yun pero narinig ko ulit siyang mag salita, and that's the most sweetest word I've heard in my life. Kaya lalo kong minamahal si kuya dahil sa sinabi niya nung araw na yon. 

'Forget it! I'll take care of jennie by myself. Don't bother her anymore. Just focus on that wicked girl and leave us alone. I know you hate jennie for existing in our lives but I don't. I love her and I don't wanna leave her side. Because I promised dad that I'll take care of jennie until my last breathe. Bye mom. Please leave jennie alone, she's happy now and contented of me being her kuya and at the same time being her dad.' And then he hung up.

Yung araw na yon, dun ko nakita kung gaano kalungkot si kuya. Sobrang lungkot ng mga mata niya habang nakatingin siya sa phone niya. But before he started tearing up I immediately went down stairs and hugged him tight. 

I saw him smiling at me and pat my head. Don ko naramdaman na may isang pamilya pa ako na nag mamahal sakin.

"Hey baby, are you done?" 

Natinag yung pag iisip ko nung biglang may kumatok sa pinto.

Mag hihilamos pa pala ako.

"Yes. Just a sec."
