Prince Ashler Pov:
I grabbed my forehead and squeezed it slightly as I closed my eyes..
'Many things happened today, it's so tiring'
I bit my lower lip when I remembered what happened earlier in the office
"Ayysst!" I whispered.
I forgot to wear gloves earlier before ahm..
I treated her wound on her ahm.. thigh because I'm in a hurry that time..
'Ayst! Why did I treat her, If I can just let her suffer from pain?'
'What did I do?'
Ayst! I didn't feel isolated from her..
I mean I just felt a little bit of awkwardness while treating her wounds on her ano..
'It's just because.. Ahm.. She's just like a real Lemming pfft!'
"Ayst! But why did I really do that thing?!" Bulong ko sa kawalan..
Agad akong napabangon at naupo sa kama.
Napatampal ako sa noo.
'Ayst! This was the first time I had ever touched a woman's thigh'
-Pero parang di naman sya tao..
Lemming lng tlga-
'Ayst! I feel like I've committed a crime'
Dugdugdug
Napasuklay ako sa buhok at muling napakagat sa ibabang labi.
"But what's wrong with what I did? I just treated her wound" Bulong kong muli sa kawalan para idefend ang sarili tsaka wala sa sariling napanguso..
'Is that wrong?'
'But she didn't say anything wrong with what I did to her,'
'Because if I did something wrong, she probably kicked me earlier'
Pero napailing ako sa kawalan when I remembered lemming's reaction after treating her wounds on her thigh.
'She immediately hugged herself when I slightly looked back at her stomach as if I had bad intentions against her Tsk'
"Pfft tsk!" Natatawang bulong ko sa kawalan.
'I will not order her to undress in front of me nuh!'
'Akala nya naman merong kayamanan sa ano nya na kukunin ko tsk!'
"She should be thankful because I care to heal her wounds" Bulong bulong ko.
Pero agad akong natigilan sa naalala..
I shook my head as I remembered what happened in the mini-forest..
I close my eyes and clench my fists..
'I don't know why I feel this way!'
'I shouldn't care no matter what happens to her but I don't know why.. Why I always interfere?'
'I'll admit she's no different from me..
She's no longer stranger..'
I gasped again
'I was shocked when she asked me how I found out..
I don't know how to explain but it's for her own good'
-Flashback:-
I was very worried when mommy informed me that my siblings were sick she also told me that I was what they were looking for..
Yes, I'm used to them always looking for me when they're sick..
'That's maybe the rule of an older brother'
-As their Kuya-
I worry about them too much!
I left immediately after I finished the exam as usual..
Nakasalubong ko pa si Sheena
She followed me but I just ignored her and dial mommy's number.
"Prin What happened?"
Dinig kong tanong nito..
Kring! Kring!
"Hello mom, how are they?" Agad na usap ko.
('Baby's kuya's already here do u two want to talk with him?') dinig kong usap ni Mom.
('Kuya kei kei,')
('Kuya..'')
Halata sa boses nila na may dinaramdam..
"For sure they'll gonna be alright" dinig ko kay Sheena..
Tumango nalang ako tsaka naglakad muli Hanggang sa napatigil ako sa tabi.
"Baby's how are you feeling?" Nag aalalang tanong ko.
Napasandal na ako sa pader..
('Kuya kei kei, we need you here kuya kei')
"Do u want me to go there?" Tanong ko.
('We want to go there hyung!') usap ni Ace..
('Ne! Oppa we want to go there plsss')
"If you want to go here you need to get well first, Is that Clear?" Usap ko.
Kumunot ang noo ko nang lumabas si Shayne sa room na pawang nagmamadali habang may kausap ata sa cp.
('If we recover immediately, we can go there?')
"Huh? Ah of course baby" usap ko..
Mas lalo akong nagtaka nang mabilis itong tumakbo hanggang sa malagpasan na kami..
'Why is she in a hurry?' Curious na tanong ko sa utak ko.
Dug Dug Dug
'Why am I nervous for no reason?'
Napailing nalang ako..
('Kuya kei kei! promise us ahh, Cough! Cough!')
"Baby, have you already take your medicine?"
('Yes kuya')
"Good girl baby, how about you Ace?"
('Me too hyung! I'm a good boy too! but I really don't like the taste')
Napakagat ako sa labi para pigilang matawa..
('It's delicious kaya')
('We are not of the same taste! Usually I don't like what you like')
('Kuya kei kei Away ako ni Ace!!') Sumbong sakin ni Aya
"Ayst! Ace"
('But hyung, I'm just stating the fact')
"Ace don't be like that to Aya" usap ko.
('Mianhae hyung')
Napalingon ako sa paligid..
'Why isn't she coming back yet?'
Ayst, ano ba pakialam ko..?
Pero wala sa sariling kinuha ko sa pocket ung isa kong phone at may tinignan doon.
'Weyt.. South?'
"What is she doing there?" Wala sa sariling bulong ko.
Dug Dug Dug
"Prin Are u ok? What happened?"
Agad akong nabalik sa realidad..
"Ahem.. nothing" usap ko.
'Baka may kinatagpo lang..
It's no longer my business to know it'
('Kuya Kei kei.. are u ok?')
"Yes of course baby, U have to get rest na ok?"
('But kuya I cannot sleep')
('Me too')
"Why?"
('My head hurts') nguso nito.
"That's why u have to rest"
Dug Dug Dug
'But she will not go there at this time and base on her reaction earlier it was as if something bad had happened'
Hindi maganda ang kaba ko..
'No! It can't be..'
('Hik! Kuya kei! Kei')
Mas naalarma ako nang umiyak c baby Aya.
('Baby What's wrong, tell it to mommy ok, baby..')- halata narin ang pag aalala kay mom.
"What happened baby, tell it to kuya, Does anything hurts?" Nag aalalang tanong ko.
('My head kuya kei kei, it hurts so much hik! Mommy')
"Baby listen to kuya you will be alright ok? U just have some rest"
'I can't go there'
Agad na akong nagtipa sa isang cp
---------
'Follow Shayne to the Mini-forest
Faster!'
---------
G-send ko sa mga kaibigan ko.
('Kuya Kei kei hik! I want to see you kuya hik!')
"Ok ok, U want video call? Weyt I will call u baby ok?"
('Kuya Hik!')
"Excuse me" usap ko kay Sheena at lumayo na ako sa lugar..
Pumunta ako sa lugar na walang tao..
-On VC-
Mas lalo akong nag alala nang makita sila,
Nakahiga silang dalawa na halatang may mga sakit nga.
'Ayst!'
('Son, U may have class today, I can take care of them my dear, Stop worrying too much it can affect your studies')
"Don't mind me Mom, I'm done with my exam" usap ko.
('Thank u so much son')
"What for Mom?"
('For all of this')
"Ayst, They're My siblings, I should be worry too much"
('How about your health? you may no longer take care of your health ah, you're making me worried about you')
"Don't mind me Mom, You Don't have to worry about"
('Hayst! My Son, I really miss you,See u soon')
"Yes Mom"
('U can talk to your siblings first, I'll just call your daddy ok?')
"K Mom"
('Baby, I will just call your daddy ok Muah!')
('K mommy')
('I love u son')
"Me too Mom"
('Hyung!')
('Kuya Kei Kei hik!')
"Baby, Stop crying na ok.. do u want me to go there?"
('No need kuya, I hik! know you still have a lot to take care of hik! there but you still put us first')
"Of Course baby, You're always kuya's first Priority" malambing na usap ko.
('Thank u Kuya Love u!')
('Sarangahe hyung!')
"Love u much!"
('Kuya Kei kei I'm excited to go there na!')
('Me too! Me too!')
Napangiti ako nang makita ang mga ngiti nila..
"That is why you two should be get well immediately"
('Ok Kuya Kei Kei!')
('Aye! Aye!') saludo pa ni Ace.
"Hm, Always obey what mommy's say ok? it's for your own good"
('Yes Kuya!')
"Pramis? Wag mag papasaway kay Mommy?"
('Opo Kuya!')
"You too Ace, do not tease your sister anymore"
('Ok po') pout nito.
"Tsk!"
('Btw Kuya! Tell ate Clae! Clae! That I am very excited to see and play with her!')
('Me too Hyung! We're gonna play using bow and arrow!! And Gun I'm really excited!') masiglang usap nila.
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa naalala..
'C Shayne!'
Dug Dug Dug
"Baby's would you mind if I would just call you again Later?"
('Why kuya? Don't u want to talk with us anymore? hik!')
"Baby It's not like that"
Agad itong napayakap kay Ace..
'What should I do?'
('Don't you want me anymore?') naiiyak na usap ni Aya..
"Baby, I just need to go somewhere, just give me 5 mins"
('No! Just tell it kuya, U don't love me na kuya!')
"Baby Don't think like that ok?" Pilit na pakiusap ko.
('U hate me na kuya!')
"Of course not, Ok ok..I will not cut off the call" pagsuko ko..
('But it's look like you're sad') nguso ni Aya..
"Ayst! Of course not"
('It seems important hyung') dagdag pa ni Ace.
"Not anymore" pabulong na usap ko.
('But why would you cut off the call?') Nakapout na tanong nito..
Napakagat ako sa labi..
'What do I need to say'
"Remember Ate Clae? I have to go to her right now"
'Ano bang pinagsasabi ko?'
Kumunot noo ko nang Agad nanlaki ang mga mata nila..
('What happened to Ate Clae Clae, does she also have a fever?') Nanlalaking mga mata ni Aya.
('Hyung is ate Claer Ok? Where is she now? Hyung!') sabay pa ni Ace.
('Kuya Kei Kei Answer our question we're starting to worried na') nguso ni Aya..
Napatampal ako sa noo.
'Is this really my siblings?'
"Ah ehh.."
'Ano bang sasabihin ko?'
('Kuya Kei Kei! it's obvious that you're worried, we're even more worried')
('Yes Hyunggg!!')
('Wah! Kuya Kei keiii!!!')
'Are they really just a kids?'
'Do these children really have a fever?'
('Hyung! what are you still waiting for hurry up and go to her now na!')
'Aba! inutusan pa ako?! Kanina lng pinipigilan ako!'
"Hey Man! Are you commanding me?"
('Aheheh.. Of course not hyung, just reminding you po hehe') nguso at tawa nang luko while nakapeace sign..
'Aba at may lakas pa nang loob na sagutin ako'
Napailing nalang ako.
('Kuyaa! Inform us of what happened to ate Clae clae ahh! pramis?!')
('See u later Hyung!')
Tot! Tot!
Tsk! Cla na tlga pumatay nang tawag ah!
'Ayst! What is that Lemming fed to my siblings just to make them feel so worried and comfortable with her?'
Agad ko na ring isinilid sa coat ko ang cp at tumakbo patungo sa direksyon.
'You don't have to overthink Ashler, For sure whatever the event is going on there, your friends are already there to find out what is going on'
----------
-Mini Forest-
My eyes widened at what I saw happening in the area..
"Argh! I want to kill them!" Dinig ko kay Gael na pilit na nagpupumiglas
"Enough!" Agad na sigaw ko na nagpatahimik sa kanila.
"Brow!"
Iginala ko ang paningin sa paligid..
Meron pitong lalaki na pawang naliligo na sa sariling dugo at...
'Weyt.. What happened?'
Don't tell mee..
Agad may hinanap ang mga mata ko..
I also saw Meccazha..
'What is she also doing here?'
Kumunot noo ko nang makita si Shayne na nakayunko while nakaupo sa damuhan..
'What happened?'
Wala sa sariling lumapit ako sa kinaroroonan nito..
Habang papalapit ako, I felt strange when I saw her bloody fists..
I quickly bent one of my knees so I can reach her face and immediately touched her chin to lift her face..
My eyes widened when I saw that she had a bruise on the side of her lip and there's a blood that still flowing from the wound on her lips..
I don't know what to feel and how I am going to act..
"Who did this?" Pilit na kalmadong tanong ko.
"It's n-ot ou-r fault that she i-nterfered"
Bahagya akong napangisi sa nangahas na mag salita..
Agad akong tumayo at nilingon iyon.
'Tsk! So it's him'
Muli kong binalingan si Shayne..
'Besides it's her also fault'
I felt annoyed! Habang nakatingin dito..
"That's would serve as lesson to u" baling ko dito mas Napakagat ito sa ibabang labi..
'Tsk! Di ba kasi uso sa kanya humingi nang tulong?!'
Tsk! She always want to be involved in trouble!
"Will u gonna repeat it again?!" Pawang panenermon ko pa dito.
Napatingin ako sa may skirt nito na parang may masakit itong dinaramdam doon..
'Ayst!'
Napalunok ako para pigilan ang inis...
"So-rry po" pabulong na usap nito
"Tsk!" Usap ko dito at naikuyom ang kamao kaya nailagay ko sa pocket ko ang mga kamay ko.
'I shouldn't interfere baka ano pang magawa ko'
Sinubukan ko nang maglakad palayo..
Pero parang ang bibigat nang mga hakbang ko.
"Pfft As I said, he doesn't care" Dinig ko na mas lalong nagpainit nang ulo ko.
"Cleress right? Nice g-irl..I .."
Napakagat ako sa labi at napapikit..
'Relax Asher Don't mind it'
"I like u..Pftt next time let's ..pla.."
Di ko na nacontrol ang sarili ko.
Namalayan ko nalamang na mabilis akong nakalapit dito sabay sinipa ko ito nang napakalakas..
Napairap ako sa ere nang bumagsak ito sa damuhan at nawalan nang malay..
'Tsk! Kanina pa ako nagtitimpi sa lalaking yan!'
Inayos ko nalang ang sarili at huminga nang malalim..
"Never show them to me again" timping usap ko at naglakad na palayo habang nakakuyom parin ang mga kamao ko pero nakatago naman ang mga ito sa pocket ko.
'Nothing to worry about, I'm still calm in this state'
-Di pa ako papatay-
