CHAPTER 1
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.."
"...you make me happy when skies are grey.."
"You never know, dea----"
"You better show yourself to the press conference tomorrow ate ha?" Nakangiting nilingon ko ang kapatid ko, Avery, my sister, just got her first ever role in three years since she started acting. Sobrang galak naman kami ni dad dahil nagbunga naman ang lahat ng paghihirap ng kapatid ko.
"how much I love you.. Please don't take my sunshine a---"
"Of course!" Galak kung wika at pinatay ang vinyl record.
"Sayang wala si dad, pero okay lang because you'll be there naman and ate Emerald. Si ate Phine ba?"
"I can asure you, Raldy will be there pero si Seraphine? Alam mo naman yun." Natawa nalang kami sa sinabi ko. Hindi mo talaga mahahagilap si Seraphine. The girl is too peculiar but still I love her.
Lumapit ito sa akin at niyakap ako ng mahigpit. "Feeling nervous?"
Tumango ito kaya hinagod ko ang likod nya. I kiss her temple. "I know you did your best. Dad and I will always be proud of you. Tsaka I saw the cut of your movie. Ang ganda kaya, hindi ako makapanila na you can bring those kind of emotions. I'm not saying this because I'm your sister but as a movie goer."
"I will always be thankful talaga to the both of you. Kayo nalang ni dad ang nagpapasaya sa akin."
"Bakit? Something bothering you?" Umiling siya at umalis sa yakap ko.
"Wala naman. I'm very much okay and happy. Nervous lang for tomorrow." She smiled.
Avery is very artistic, simula nung mga bata palang kami nakikitaan na talaga namin siya nang galing sa pag akto. Hanggang sa pumasok nalang siya sa acting school kung saan nirekomenda ng kaibigan kong si Emerald.
Mabait na bata si Avery, minsan nga natatawa kami kapag laging sinasabi ni dad na akala niya mahihirapan siya sa kapatid ko na baka lalaking bratinela ito. Medyo maarte lang sa mga bagay si Aves pero malaki naman ang puso nito.
She always accompany my dad sa mga medical missions nito and always volunteer kapag may mga typhoon at nangangailangan nang mga tao.
"I should go now, big sister. Gusto mo ba ng tea and cookies?"
Nasa may pintuan na siya nang niligon niya ako sa huling pagkakataon.
"Ate?"
"Hmm?" Matamang tinitigan ko lang mukha niya.
"Always remember that I love you and thank you for everything." Natawa ako sa sinabi niya.
"Why so cheesy, deary-avery?"
Hindi na niya ako sinagot at umalis nalang siya.
