LCS 15: Light Perez (Completed)

Chapter 16

VYRLLE STAYED in his hospital room for an hour, Light can't play his favorite game, which was ML. So, Vyrlle installed another game on her phone, a 2 player game. Para lang hindi sila mainip, there's still some awkwardness around them. Probably because she's been avoiding him or should she say, she's treating him differently.

Malamang ay hindi ito sanay ngayon na nasa iisang lugar lang silang dalawa. Vyrlle can't even calm her heart. It's beating too fast and she's afraid that Light might hear it.

"Your turn," she uttered after tapping the screen of her phone to roll the dice.

She installed snake and ladders, wala naman siyang ibang alam na laro.

Tahimik lang nitong dinutdot ang screen ng cellphone niya. "I wonder, bakit ayaw mo akong tawagin na Kuya? I heard you calling Castiel 'Kuya'."

Her lips thinned.

"Jealous?" She teased.

"Not really." He answered. "Nagtataka lang ako, sino ba ang tarantado na 'yon para pagselosin ko?" He whispered but Vyrlle still heard him.

Bahagya siyang napanguso. Para niyang narinig ang kapatid nila kapag nagmumura. Ang lutong nila magmura.

"Do you want me to call you... like how I call them?" She carefully asked, without looking at him.

Alam ni Vyrlle sa sarili na kapag tumingin siya sa mga mata nito. There's a possibility that Light will know more about her feelings.

She heard him sighed as she watch the snake bit his character, tapos ay bumalik 'yon sa dulo.

"No. Ayos lang sa akin na huwag na..." He answered.

"Then, that's good. I don't like it."

"At least give me a reason?" He asked.

Napaatras siya nang yumuko ito at inilapit ang mukha sa mukha niya. Agad na nagwala ang puso niya dahil doon. Even her breathing became uneven. Halata sa mukha nito na kulang pa rin ito sa pahinga but she can't still deny the fact that he's handsome. Mukha itong bampira sa sobrang putla nito.

"I just..." Umiwas siya ng tingin kay Light. Hindi niya matagalan ang titig nito sa kanya. "Hindi talaga kita makita bilang nakakatanda na kapatid ko." She voiced out.

Para siyang nabunutan ng tinik dahil doon.

"I remembered, you say you hate me."

Agad niyang ibinalik ang tingin kay Light. She's still young, college pa ito noon, bakit tanda pa rin nito? Umangat ang kilay ni Vyrlle nang makita ang emosyon sa mukha nito.

She knew right there and then that he's just toying her. Pero bumigay pa rin siya sa nagpapaawa na mukha nito. Vyrlle sighed softly.

"Bata pa ako noon." Dahilan niya.

Gusto niya mairita nang maalala na naman 'yon. May nasabi siya na hindi na niya mababawi ngayon. And that's because she was hurt and confused. He prepared a meal for her, it was his family's comfort food. Alam niya dahil ayon ang palaging hinahanda ng mommy nila sa tuwing dadalaw ang mga ito sa bahay nila.

Vyrlle remembered that she asked him if he has a girlfriend, he answered no, and then a woman appeared, he asked her to eat with them... Napuno siya noon.

"Oh! Tinawag mo nga pala akong Kuya noon!" He exclaimed. Parang natutuwa pa ito.

Inirapan niya ito. Someone was there. She needs to address him like that. Kahit labag sa kalooban niya.

"And I clearly told you. I don't want you to be my brother." Naiinis na sagot niya.

Light made a face and playfully clenched his fist against his chest. Acting.
