I went home with a face-splitting grin.
Kuya was in the garage, cleaning his car.
“Ganda ng ngiti mo Sam ha.” Sabi ni kuya.
Blood rushed to my cheeks. Di ko alam kung bakit.
“Hmmm. Let me guess. Surprise present?”
Di ko matingnan si kuya. Parang nahihiya ako na ewan. :”>
Di ako makasagot.
“Sam, if it was Chad, no big deal. Pero kung si Jin, I’ll never approve.”
I was taken aback.
If it was Chad no big deal.
“YOU KNEW ABOUT CHAAAAD? H-HOW? S-SINCE WHEN?”
Di ko alam kung magagalit ba ako o ma rerelieve na okay lang kay kuya.
“Samantha, lahat ng tao sa village naten alam na may gusto si Chad sayo.”

Ganun ba ako ka manhid?
Ganun ba ako Katanga?
Sheesh.
I was speechless so I just went up to my room.
Pagka upo ko, binuksan ko yung bag ko.
Andito pa pala yung gift ni Jin.
I opened the box.
It was a Vacheron Constantin wrist watch.
Glittery white. Almost like a crystal.
Thin lady-like straps,
And my name engraved in the middle.
Samantha, it says.
On the strap were curved letters :” dans mon coeur, ton nom est écrit.”
which means : " in my heart, your name is written."
The watch was breath-takingly beautiful.
may note.
"Just to remind you na oras-oras, ikaw ang nasa isip ko.
Happy birthday. Loveyou.
-Jin"
:"> pretty watch.
he still knows me well.
alam parin nya kung anong magpapasaya sakin.
:")
goodnight to me. :)
REI'S POV
*yaaaaawn*
oh. Hi.
Tulog pa yata si Sam ah.
Gisingin ko na nga. Nagugutom na ako eh.
I went up to her room.
*knock knock knock*
"Saaaaaaaaam. gutom na ako. wake uuuuuppp."
*silence*
*knock knock knock*
"SAAAAAAAAAM. TANGHALI NAAAAAA."
Still silence.
"AYAW MO KO PANSININ HA."
i entered her room.
kinuha ko yung unan nya, i opened the curtains, and hinila ko yung kumot.
hahaha.
"mmmmba nguuuya. hinhantok ma kooo."
ABA. AYAW MO PARIN TUMAYO HA.
"Sam, isa. . . ."
ayaw parin.
"dalawaaaaa."
ayaw mo ha.
"KUYAAAAAA. aaaaah. AAAAAAH. ayoko na. hahahahaha. hahaha. tama na. aaaah. ahhhahahahahahahhahahahaha"
i stopped tickling her. Satisfied now that she's awake. ;)
"Gusto ko ng bacon tsaka itlog." sabi ko.
"Opo boss, magluluto na."
with that i walked out of her room and went out to wash my car.
sakto, after ko maglinis ng kotse, ready na yung pagkain ko. >:D muhahahahaha.
swerte kong kuya.
so ayun. kumakain na kami ni Sam.
normal na araw para saming dalawa.
weekday naman ngayon kaso suspended yung classes kase ang lakas ng ulan.
nag movie marathon kaming dalawa.
nag x-box
at nagyon, TV.
wala na kaming magawa eh.
"Kuya?"
"mmm?"
"Kausap ko si Daddy kahapon."
.
.
"Wala akong pake."
i don't like talking about dad.
"Eh kuya , why don't you want to talk to him? Panganay ka. He misses you."
"Sam, i don't wanna talk about this. please."
"Kuya, you keep avoiding the problem. For once naman kuya, face it. Kalalaki mong tao eh."
"Don't you dare talk to me like that Samantha. I have my reasons why i act this way. Alam mo kung anong ginawa ng tatay mo and that is unforgivable."
"Kuya, you never listened to him. You never listened to whatever he has to say. You don't give him a chance to explain himself. Why? Kase takot ka na baka all this time, tama pala sya at mali ka? Wag ka namang duwag kuya."
i stood up. I need not to hear anything anymore.
ayoko na.
"KUYA, ANO? YOU'RE WALKING AWAY FROM THE PROBLEM AGAIN? DI MO HAHARAPIN YUNG PROBLEMA? EH PAREHO LANG PALA KAYO NI DADDY EH! NO, MAS MASAHOL KA PA KAY DADDY! AT LEAST HE'S TRYING TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. EH IKAW? DUWAG KA."
*SLAP*
all my anger burst out.
nagdilim yung paningin ko.
Hindi ko sinasadya, pero nasampal ko si Sam.
She was holding her cheek, tears welling up on her eyes.
"S-Sam. . ."
i reached out to her.
"Don't touch me!"
Then she ran away.
i stood frozen into place
Putcha naman.
Ano bang demonyo sumapi sakin at nasampal ko yung kapatid ko?
:(
First time kaming nag away ni Sam ng ganito.
First time na napag buhatan ko sya ng kamay.
kumidlat.
i was slappedback into reality.
tumakbo si Sam palabas ng bahay in that pouring rain.
takot sya sa kidlat.
shit.
