CHAPTER FIVE : Do you know me?

“ Chapter Five : Do you know me? ”

" Archeo? " hindi pamilyar na boses ang tumawag sa'kin, lumingon ako para makita ito ngunit nabigla ako kung sino ito, " Archeo ikaw nga " saad niya pa't ngumiti

" Kilala mo ko? " tanong ko na kaniya naman sinagot, " Yes, I do know you. Pero h'wag kang maingay kay mama na kilala kita. I didn't know na dito ka mag-aaral " sagot niya na ikinataas ng kilay ko, " I saw your facebook account and I stalk you and accidentally saw your photos when you were young, hindi sinasabi sa'min ni mama na she have a child before, yes I get mad at her pero--when I saw your achievements and you're into basketball na excite akong makita ka " dagdag nito

" My papa is kinda strict and bad-temper, kaya sa t'wing nakikita ko account mo sa friend suggestions niya kinakabahan ako na baka maisipan niyang silipin 'yung account mo but good thing hindi niya ugaling mang-stalk, oh I forgot--Acker Clarkson, your older---step brother " saad niya at inilahad ang kamay niya sa'kin, tinapik ko lang ito dahil hindi maganda ang mood ko

" I already know who you are but I didn't expect that you know me too, but--I don't have any interest and intention to get close to you, dahil una palang kayo ang naging dahilan kung bakit ako iniwan ni mommy " tugon ko na kinatahimik niya

Ngumiti lang ito na aking ikinainis, " I'm sorry pero I wanted to get close to you, and I don't have any bad intentions, archeo. " seryosong tugon niya, " Mommy said, no--Your mama said, lubayan ko siya and so you, I don't want to ruin her happiness, so you should think about her happiness too " seryosong tugon ko

" Kaya nga gusto kong kilalanin ka't mapalapit sa'yo para kahit papaano, magkasama na uli kayo, I'm willing to defend you to my father. You're her own child afterall " he said, " Not anymore " sagot ko " To tell you the truth, my papa met your mom when we're at least 11 years old or 12? And they get married after two years being together, she lied about her past life and I hate her for doing that and I hate how she left you without saying anything to you " daldal nito

" How can I say you're telling the truth, anak ka ng isang ahas " saad ko na dahilan ng sarkastikong tawa niya, " I'm telling the truth " tugon niya pa't tumingin sa'kin, " The truth is, I made this one for you. A gift for your 15th birthday gusto ko sana iabot sa'yo nung mismong birthday mo pero hindi ko naman alam kung saan ka mismo nakatira so, I'm happy that you enrolled here " mahabang lintaya niya

Hindi ko na sana ito kukunin ngunit kinuha niya ang kamay ko at nilagay sa kamay ko 'yung regalo niya at umalis na, " Liar, snakes, and motherfucker " saad ko at itinapon sa basurahan ang hawak ko

" Archeong cold, sarcastic, at suplado. Umiiyak sa ganitong oras at lugar " pangtutukso ni rio na aking kinainis, " Wala ako sa mood na makipagbiro, baka masapak kita " seryosong tugon ko, " Napaka-seryoso " reklamo niya at lumakad na paalis sumunod naman ako dito

" Narinig niyo ba kanina sa office ni Mrs. Clarkson? "

" Oo gosh, grabe 'yung sagutab nila nung student "
