Agad akong dumampot ng kaldero kahit tapos na akong magluto ng agahan ng makita kong pumasok si kuya sa loob ng kusina.
I didn't recognize him the last day, and I kissed him for Pete's sake! A kiss that shouldn't be given to siblings! His whole feature just changed! He became a real life definition of a Greek God! He wasn't the tall, thin who has a baby face yet very cold dark green eyes, teenage boy I remember, the guy who used to look down at me with emotion in his eyes that I couldn't name.
He is much taller now, and he's not thin anymore! He has a masculine body that is so soothing in eyes, his face went more handsome! He has these full beard around his face now, much more pointed nose, thicker eyebrows, longer eyelashes that I envious of, and his eyes, it look much different, it looks like a deep rain forest with a greatest secret hiding within.
"Stazia, stop wasting water. I could see that pan is already shining as new, hugas na hugas na 'yan sa 'yo," anang baritonong boses niya na kinapitlag ko, tarantang pinatay ko ang umaagos na tubig mula sa gripo saka nagpunas ng kamay.
Lumingon ako paharap kay kuya, pero sinasadya kong 'wag mapatingin sa mga mata niya, pakiramdam ko kasi lalamunin ako ng sahig kapag nagtama ang mga mata namin.
I got a weird feeling on my belly when he assisted me by pulling a chair for me. Napalunok ako ng sa pag upo ko ay siya na din agad ang naglagay ng pagkain sa plato ko. This isn't how I expected him to act once I lived in with him because all I could remember about him is him hating me to bits, to the point that he left the hacienda and does not wanting to get home because I'm there. I can remember those deep stares he gives me every time he's at home which is once in three to four months before he completely left the hacienda and didn't went home for seven freaking years.
Tumikhim siya, agad naman akong napabaling sa kaniya at nahihiyang napayuko akong muli ng makitang kanina pa pala siya kumakain habang tulala naman ako at malalim ang iniisip.
"How old are you again?" Tanong ni kuya sa akin na kinaawang ng labi ko.
Ganoon ba siya kainis sa akin para di niya matandaan kung ilang taon na ko? I bet he doesn't even remember when is my birthday.
Mahaba ang nguso at salubong ang mga kilay kong minumurder ang bacon sa plato ko gamit ang kutsara at tinidor ko bago sagutin si kuya, "17, turning 18 in three months."
I saw him nod his head from the corner of my eyes.
"So you're using Fairy's birthday now too?" Tanong niya bigla na kinasalubong ng mga kilay ko, binalingan ko siya.
"Sinong Fairy? Saka birthday ko yon anong ginagamit ko?" Inis kong patanong na sagot kay kuya.
Nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya habang malalim ang paraan ng pagtitig na tumitig siya sa akin. Ilang minuto siyang nakatitig lang sa akin o baka segundo lang, napaka oa ko lang siguro dahil malakas at mabilis na ang kabog ng aking dibdib habang nakikipagtitigan sa kaniya, nang mag iwas siya ng tingin at napailing.
"Fairy is my younger sister," he answered that made my frown even deeper.
I disregarded the fast beating of my heart as I took a spoon full of food, pero hindi ko yon sinubo agad.
"We have another sibling?" I asked without looking at him and I wish I didn't just reacted on his words nor asked him that question because he put down his utensils and stand up to leave.
"She's not your sibling, she's my sibling, you two aren't related," he then left, left even his plate is still almost full of food.
I bite my bottom lip as I hardly stop myself from taking a deep breath because I'm in front of my food.
