Attain The Sky (Engineer Series #2)

▪ fifteen

Damn it. I can't believe this. Reeva and Cleve? So siya 'yong babae ni Kuya ngayon? Is she the reasons of Kuya's smiles? Bakit hindi ko 'yon napansin? Sa tinagal-tagal kong naging kaibigan si Reeva at Kuya ko pa si Cleve, bakit wala man lang ako napansin? And O, God, I can't imagine Reeva doing those kind of things kay Kuya because Reeva is Reeva, she's prim and proper. Damn it.

But I trust my friend. She knows Kuya Cleve for how many years. Alam niyang gago 'yon at babaero, bakit niya pa rin pinatulan?

"Lily, are you okay?" Sky asked.

I was panting when I reached my room. Napasalampak ako sa couch at kinandong si Kitty na nakatitig sa akin. I shook my head and tried to forget what I have seen in Kuya's room ngunit kahit ano'ng gawin ko, kitang-kita ko pa rin sa aking isip ang nakaluhod na si Reeva at si Kuya na nakatingala dahil sa pleasure na nararamdaman.

Fuck. Hindi ko masikmura. It is fine with me but I just can't accept the fact that it is Reeva. Sa lahat ng babae, hindi ko aakalaing si Reeva ang target niya ngayon. I can say that my brother isn't in love with him. He is just using her for his needs but Reeva refused to acknowledge that! At bakit? Because she have a feelings for my brother? But what about Cleve? I know him! Alam ko na wala lang 'yon sa kan'ya!

Is that the reason bakit niya ako hinayaan kay Sky? Dahil ginagapang na rin pala niya ang kaibigan ko? I heaved a sigh. Mariin akong napapikit upang mapigilan ang pag-usbong ng emosyon. Fuck it. Cleve's motto is 'fuck, then leave', at alam kong alam 'yon ni Reeva!

"Baby..." Sky held my arm. "What's wrong?"

"Do you have any clue about Kuya and Reeva? I mean, do you that there's something about them?" I asked.

"Uh..." Sky bit his lower lip. "Yes, pero wala lang 'yon sa amin dahil wala kaming pakialamanan ng babae. Besides, Cleve is a playboy. Isang araw lang sa kan'ya mga nagiging babae niya," he brushed his lips against his fingers.

"But you didn't dare to tell me?" Nanliit ang aking mga mata.

"Why would I? Wala ako sa posisyon para magsabi no'n. I told you, wala pakialamanan kung sino ang babae namin," he muttered.

"But Reeva's my friend! Dapat aware ako na siya na pala ang ginagago ng Kuya ko! I can't believe this!" Inis kong tugon at humiga sa aking kama bago nagtaklob ng comforter.

"Hey, Lily..." Sky whispered and tried to remove the comforter. "Don't be mad at me, please? Kay Cleve ka na lang magalit, h'wag sa akin," bulong niya.

"I am not mad. I was just shocked," tugon ko.

"Hindi ka ba masaya para sa kanila? I heard, Reeva likes your brother so much. She is your bestfriend and Cleve is your brother. Ayaw mo ba si Reeva para sa Kuya mo?" Marahan niyang tanong.

"That's it! Reeva is my friend since then, so definitely she knows kung gaano kagago ang Kuya ko! She knows how much I loathe Kuya kapag dinadala niya ang babae niya rito! Nakita 'yon ni Reeva... and damn it, she's my friend kaya ayaw ko siyang masaktan!"

"Calm down, Sydney. Do you want to talk with your brother?" Tanong niya nang magtagumpay siyang tanggalin ang comforter sa akin.

"You guys are great at playing and breaking girl's heart, huh?" I said, my voice is full of venom.

"Get up, Sydney. We'll talk to your Kuya para hindi ka na magalit sa akin," saad niya at marahan na sinuklay ang aking buhok gamit ang kan'yang mga kamay.

"Galit na ako sa 'yo because you are calling me Sydney instead of Lily!" I pouted my lower lip.

He chuckled and lick his lips. He shook his head and gripped my arm before he rested his arm on my shoulder. Lumabas kami at bumaba na sakto naman dahil tanghalian na. Kahit na malayo pa kami sa dining room, dinig ko mula sa aking puwesto ang boses nina Aziel na nagtatawanan. So, hindi pa sila umuuwi, huh?
