Warm Embrace

Beginning

"Hyera, dear." My mom called me, i look up at her.

"Mommy," I smiled and hug her.

"What do you want baby? Its almost your birthday dear." My mom ask me, its my birthday in just seven hours. A grand debut prepared by my mom tomorrow so i need to sleep early. And my Kuya is just to over protective.

"Mom! Wag mo pag suotin ng ganyang ka revealing! Bata pa 'yan!" Si Kuya habang nag susukat ako ng gown. Inirapan ko s'ya.

"Kuya! I'm turning 18 tomorrow kaya!"

"Ano naman? Bata ka pa din." Giit ni Kuya, nakahalukipkip sa sofa at masama ang tingin sa suot kong gown.

"I'm not bata na kaya! I'm legal age na tomorrow." Inirapan ko s'ya, I'm turning 18 na so tama ako diba?

"Ah basta, ayoko n'yan." His words screams finality.

"Kuya! Kontra ka ng kontra naman e! Hindi naman ikaw magsusuot!" I said almost shouting. Napaka kulit kasi, s'ya ba ang mag d-dress? Baka naman naiinggit s'ya sa suot ko?

"Bata ka pa nga! Mag 18 ka palang, Hyera." Taas kilay n'ya kong tinignan habang masama tingin ko. Its not that revealing!

Its just an off shoulder and my chest isn't that big to show of some cleavage! I don't have those! At kung mayroon nga baka ipinaglandakan ko na 'yan 'no.

"Kuya, wala naman makikita sakin! " atungal ko pa, eh hindi naman kasi sya magsusuot e! Kuya sigh as a defeat. "Napaka OA mo lang talaga."

"You're my last dance naman Kuya! I don't have that many male friends, puro cousin natin nakalista." I innocently flash a sweet smile at him to make him approve. Neither Dad and Mom are okay. Si Kuya lang talaga.

"Dear? Do you want a condo? A car? Name it please." My mommy said and smile patiently waiting for my answer. I smile back.

"A condo mommy? Sa condominium nila Tita! Maganda condo nila, My, we've been there several times!" I excitedly said.

"Aalis ka na?" Nahihimigmigan ko ng lungkot ang boses ni Daddy, despite his serious look, he is very softhearted person.

"Hindi naman po daddy, uuwi po ako every weekends. I will do better in med school so I won't disappoint you po." I gave him a assurance smile that i will be better.

He smiled back. "Of course, visit us ha? Kundi patay ka sa Kuya mo." nanakot pa nga.

"Daddy naman." Kuya is not here, He's playing basketball in our neighbor village. He has so many friends, akala mo nangangadidato sa dami ng kakilala.

He doesn't know that I'm leavin the day after tomorrow, he will be furious.

"Whatever you want, Hye."

"Thank you Mommy, Daddy. Loveyou both!" I giggled, my Mom too and my Dad smile widely.

Maaga akong natulog dahil ayoko ng may maitim ang ilalim ng mata ko kinabukasan! Masyado akong excited sa mangyayari.

Nagising nalang ako sa katok sa kwarto ko, hindi ko rin naman natignan ang oras.

"Hyera, hmm?" si Kuya Hyori lang pala, nabosesan ko. "Its exact twelve AM, Happy Birthday, Bunso."

He patted my head and put the blanket properly. "I alarm myself at twelve just to greet you. Here's my gift check it tomorror, okay?" Si Kuya.
