Hilary's POV (Thursday)
A lovely Thursday in the church, saktong tapos na ang pagsamba and also bibisitahin ko na si Athena sa Kalihiman.
"Hi Hilary! Nakasamba ka na?" Tanong niya.
"Yup! Wow! Happy ang ferson huh? That the sign that you recieve a good news didn't you?" Saad ko.
"Oo, and sakto na nandito ka na i have something to tell you and you gonna freak out" sabi niya
"Eh sabihin mo na, Athena excited na ako" i said.
"Kuya is awake" anunsyo niya.
"What? No way? Kailan pa?" I asked.
"Yesterday, that's no way to freak me out!" She laughed.
"Well, that's good news Athena kaya pala ibang iba ang ngiti mo. I hope ka Mike recover quickly para hindi ka na malungkot" biro ko.
"C'mon Hilary, don't be silly sisigla rin si kuya. Kuya ko yan eh!" Tawa niya.
Oliver's POV
This day was horrible for me. How kuya did this to his own cousin? Anyways, nasa Bucal parin ako and i have no plans to talk about my brother until now.
I have one question in my mind. Did Athena forgave my brother?
"Oliver, lumabas ka diyan nandito si Athena gusto ka daw kausapin" tawag ni kuya.
To be honest, ayaw kong suwayin ang kapatid ko at lalo na dalawa nalang kami. Kaya lumabas na ako ng kuwarto upang kausapin si Ate Athena.
"I am coming!" I said.
Bago pa ako makalabas ng pastoral, may sinabi si kuya sa akin tungkol sa nangyari last time.
"Oliver, ayoko lang ng gulo sa totoo lang. Baka naman gusto mo akong kausapin kahit minsan lang" pakiusap ni kuya.
"Kuya, please? I don't want to fight for this? Pero alam ko kung ako ang ginawa mo" pag-iwas ko.
Nag-usap kami ni Ate Athena sa labas. Tungkol din ito kay Kuya Mike kaya ibang iba ang ngiti nito.
"Aba? Iba ang ngiti mo ngayon huh? Magandang balita ba yan?" Tanong ko.
"Guess what, Oliver? Kuya is awake!" She glightly said.
"Now, that's good news ate, i hope na makalabas na siya you know? To play softball just like before" i said.
"Sure for that thing, right? Anyways, im here because we need to talked about" she started the conversation.
"Talking abot who?" I asked.
"Your kuya? Kuya Xander" she announced.
I feel irritated when its comes the topic to kuya but she had a reason why we need to talked about.
"C'mon Athena, bakit pa si kuya ang topic natin?" Angal ko.
"Oliver! Shut up your mouth! Your not funny at all!" Sigaw ni Ate.
Paktay? Ginalit ko ata si Ate hayyss kasalanan mo talaga ito, Oliver hayyynako.
"Oliver, listen to me this is my point kung bakit ako nandito about kay kuya Xander. You should talked your brother at lease once or else mapapagaya ka sa ginagawa ni Sienna kay kuya" she explained.
"You know, Ate you didn't undertand what i feel to see kuya. I was irritated when i always heard kuya's name"
"Then, you should know kung ano ang purpose ko kung bakit ako nandito sa Bucal! Damn, Oliver! Your not crybaby anymore!"
Napagalitan pa nga? Bakit kase ang kulit mo ate?
"You should know na galit pa ako kay kuya bakit ang kulit kulit mo ate!" Bulyaw ko.
"Don't dare to shout like that, Oliver! First, listen to me and second, WAG KANG UMANGAL!"
"Okay, Oliver listen this is my reason kung bakit ko kayo pinag-aayos? Dahil ito kay kuya! Gets mo?" Dagdag niya.
"Wait, what? What do you mean?" Pagtataka ko.
"Thank you, Oliver kumalma ka rin? First, gusto ko na magkaayos sila ng kuya ko. Second, bati na kami ng kuya mo and Third, ayaw ko na maulit muli kung ano ang ginawa ni Sienna kay kuya" She explained.
"So, this is your purpose?" I asked.
"Yes, that's my reason why i am here, Oliver" she finished the topic.
Athena's POV
Silly Oliver? Nagawa mo pang makipag-bardagulan sa akin ng hindi ko pa sinasabi kung ano ang pakay ko. Anyways, kakaalis ko lang sa Bucal after ko bigyan si Oliver ng mahanghang na salita galing sa akin.
"Well, i think Oliver misunderstand you kaya nagawa kang pagalitan" sabi ni Chris sa akin.
"Well, oo nga i want to fix their mess for kuya's sake. Alam mo naman na may ginawa silang kaguluhan na hindi kanais-nais" paliwanag ko.
I am serious, ginawa ko na ito kina kuya at Sienna. And i let Sienna realized na kung ano talaga ang tunay na nangyari sa nanaya niya.
"Someone needs to get her first move for her brother's sake" hanga ni Chris sa akin.
"Yes, i did it for my own good i mean their own good" i said.
