Embracing scars (COMPLETED)

04. Cupid

I feel like my head was smashed to the wall the moment I woke up the next morning. Bumangon ako at dumiretso sa kusina para kumuha ng gamot nang madatnan ko sina Kuya na nagkakape.

"Good morning." Kuya Xian greeted

"Mornin'" Dumiretso ako sa medicine cabinet.

Kumuha ako ng tubig sa ref saka ininom ang gamot para sa hangover. Naupo ako sa tabi ni Kuya Alexander at sumandal sa balikat niya. Iniabot naman sa akin ni Kuya Xian ang mug na may laman ng coffee.

"My head is killing me." I can feel Kuya's body vibrating from laughing.

"Told ya. It will feel like hell."

Napako ang tingin ko sa kamay ni Kuya Xian na may sugat. Then everything from last night made me rose from my sit. Muntik ko nang masagi ang mug.

Oh my god!!

"You okay, princess?" pagtataka niya

Goodness!

Oh shit.

"L-last night ---

"What about last night?" Nakakunot na ngayon ang noo niya.

Oh no. I hope he's not my schoolmate because this is seriously embarrassing! Why didn't I even notice that I was following the wrong person?

"Caya... if you're going to talk about that asshole who --

"No that's not it! I mean --- yeah it is somehow related to it though --

I'm fumbling the hem of my shirt. Parang nawala ang hang over ko nang maalala ko ang nangyari kagabi. Sobrang nakakahiya.

"What is it?" pag-aalala nila

"I --- well I slapped the wrong person last night." Pag-amin ko

Hindi nagtagal ay napuno ng tawanan ang buong kusina sa sinabi ko. I rolled my eyes as Kuya Xian's laughter covered the whole kitchen.

"I was too drunk so I-- I thought I was following the person sweet Lili pointed to."

Tiningnan nila agad ako ng masama.

"Princess, good thing namali ka nang sinundan dahil hindi ko talaga alam ang gagawin kapag may ginawa siyang masama sayo."

I rolled my eyes at Kuya's remark.

"Who's the person you slapped anyway? You know him?"

"No, I don't. He seems familiar, though." I mumbled, looking at the chandelier, wondering where I saw him.

"It was South." Dumiretso nang upo si Kianna habang laglag panga naman ang dalawa sa sagot ni Kianna na tila hindi sila makapaniwala.

"WHAT?!"

Biglang napatayo si Kuya Xian.

"Did he say something to you?"

I tried to remember the events last night. I'm too drunk but I am sure na wala naman siyang sinabi na masama. I'm the one who's even at fault. Maybe if ever I see him I'll just apologize, right?

"Wala naman. Bakit kuya?" Kuryuso kong tanong

"Nothing." Mukhang kumalma si kuya sa sagot ko kaya napaupo siya ulit.

"Wait-- so you all know who he is?"

"Yeah."

"Schoolmate? Friend? Fam? Or is he one of your enemies, kuya?"

Tinuro ni Kuya Xian ang mukha niya. "Do I looked like someone who have a lot of enemy, princess?" Agaran akong tumango sa tanong niya.

I heard Kianna and Kuya Alexander's laugh at the background. No offense but Kuya Xian is a pretty narcissist. As well as Storm and Izaac. Si Mikael, sakto lang. Minsan nadadamay lang dahil sa mga pinsan. Kaya palagi silang nasasangkot sa gulo dahil sa tingin ng iba, mayayabang. Antaas ng mga self-esteem. Kuya also bear with him the legacy of being a Dela Ferrer kaya he's quite famous.
