Damn. Genes.
" We need your help " Flip replied
" About what ? Hi I'm Jessica . Tine's older sister " then she gave me a beso
" About that " tinuro niya ang sugat ko sa paa
" Oh no , kanina mo pa sana tinawag ang ate mo Tine . She's bleeding " his mom frantically said
" What's with the commotion ? Why are here this early Tine? Don't you have classes ? " a man interrupted , he looks so damn scary
" Nothing hon , Tine just needed his Ate's help " his mom answered
" Follow me " his ate told me and we left the place kung saan sina Flip and his parents
" Kaklase ka ba ni Flip ? " she said while we are entering a room
" Opo , naaksidente po kasi ako . Third suggested na samahan ako ni Flip sa Hospital dahil busy ang medics sa school dahil sa Voultur Week , but we ended up here dahil hindi niya daw gusto sa hospital " I explained
" Hindi niya gusto sa hospital? He said that? " hindi makapaniwalang sabi niya
" Opo , bakit po? " I'm confused
" No . Nothing , come sit here . This is our mini clinic in the house " she said
" Talaga po? Bakit po kayo may mini clinic? " I asked her
" Dito ako natutong manggamot . Since I was pursuing a medical course , our parents decided to have this in the house. I practice here alot " she explained
" Then you became a doctor " I added
" Yes and I practice my skills alot in Tine too " she answered
"Bakit po kay Tine? Este Flip? " I asked her
" Sa aming magkapatid , Tine's the rebel one . He thinks that he's different " she sighed
"Huh? Bakit po? " I asked again
" Noong elementary pa kami ay palagi kaming umuuwi ni Third na may dalang stars , medals , ribbons and sometimes prizes from our teachers . Our parents were so happy . Especially dad , he likes it alot . But Tine? Umuuwi siya palagi ng may sugat sa katawan , mga pasa sa mukha at madumi ang uniform. Pero kahit na he's tired and unhappy going home , our dad still beats him to make him wake up from his doings. Tine also thinks that he's the blacksheep of our family . Dad never noticed him except when he does rebellious things " she told me
" Talaga po? Pero hindi naman po bobo si Tine. He may be rebellious sometimes pero siya po ang pinamatalinong mag-aaral sa Voultur Academy . Bakit po ganun? " I confusedly asked
" That's the outcome. Dad was never proud of him until he became tired of rebelling and started to sort things out . We never saw what's going to happen. He became distant to us . Kung iisipin , mas gusto ko pang uuwi siya ng may pasa sa mukha dahil lumalapit siya sa akin upang magpagamot and we talk alot . Pero , he changed. He often locks himself in his room . Studying and studying and studying until he got accepted in Voultur Academy and got an award of being the top student of the school . My mom fainted that time because she did not see that coming . That was the first time na pinansin ni dad si Tine and that was the first time that we saw Tine smiled pero we knew it's fake . We thought he'll change because of that but, he did not . He's still distant to us . He was so induced on trying hard to make dad proud that he forgot about us . His family that accepts him eventhough umuwi man siya na walang award na dala o umuwi man siya na may baling buto sa katawan. " she then smiled sadly at me
" Napapasalamat nga ako na he entered the Seekers . Doon siya nabuhay and he met his friends . Atleast he's happy . Eventhough we are not the reason but he's happy . That's all we need " she added
"Alam niyo po? " gulat na tanong ko sa kanya
" Uh, Oo? Most of the member's family knows " she said and stood up
" Tapos na po? " I said
" Yes . Now, let's go . You need to meet dad " she giggled
" Po? Jusko " sabi ko at nagsign of the cross
She then laughed at me
" You're funny. By the way , are you part of the Seekers? " she asked
" Opo " I answered
" But you're a girl . What's your surname again? " tanong niya
" Meron naman pong babae doon, Ramirez po " I answered
" You came from an elite family . More powerful than the other members , why did you join the organization? " she asked again
" Hay nako . Tanungin niyo po ang kapatid niyo . Biglang nanghihila eh . " I shrugged
" Hindi ko iyon kasalanan . Besides, nagpahila ka naman eh " Flip entered the room at sumandal sa pinto crossing his arms
I just rolled my eyes at him
" You're here? Asan si dad? What did he tell you? " Sunod-sunod na tanong ni Ate Jessica sa kanyang kapatid
" He left already and he said Hi to Rox . Sabi niya regards nalang daw sa mama at papa mo . They're business partners. " tipid na sagot niya
Tumango naman ako.
" Tara na ? " he asked me
" Aalis na kayo ? Babalik na kayo sa school ? " tanong pa ng ate niya
" We're going out " he shrugged
" Ha? "
" You're dating? "
Sabay at gulat na reaksiyon namin ni Ate Jessica . Flip just rolled his eyes at tsaka hinila na ako
" Lunch. Hindi pa kami kumakain " tipid niyang sagot at tuluyan akong hinila palabas ng bahay
------ End of Chapter -----
Sneek Peak for the next Chapter
" Eh Bakit ka masaya palagi? " I asked nonchalantly
" Masaya lang naman ako kapag ikaw ang kasama ko " natigilan naman ako doon sa sinabi niya
