Embracing the Uncertainties

01

"Lia, are you done?" Kuya Zyair asked and open the door.

I still don't know why do I need to go there, I'm pretty sure that party is boring. I grab my purse and look at my reflection, simple and elegant it is.

"My baby Jaione, you look stunning hmm?" Pang bobola ni Kuya, He is just being sweet as usual unlike Kuya Zaylee that guy is too rude hmp.

"Alam ko na 'yan kuya, let's just go and stop being so sweet and all nakakaumay" I rolled my eyes at him, nauna na ako maglakad pababa bago pa siya dumada na naman ng dumada.

"Why not? May boyfriend ka na Lia? Sino at ipapasapak ko kay Kuya Zy!" Hinabol pa niya ako, ano naman ang laban ko sa mahahaba niyang legs?

"Can we not start a fight? Kuya stop teasing me! And I don't have a boyfriend!" Ugh this guy can really make me mad for just a few seconds!

"Okay okay, don't be too defensive" He said while laughing, ugh this guy!

Pag labas ko ng gate, sinalubong kami ng matamis na ngiti ni Manong Lito.

"Ang ganda at pogi naman ng mga isasakay ko!" I smiled at him and look at Kuya.

"Hey, I thought we will use your car? At sasakyan ko pa talaga? Dinamay mo pa si Manong Lito! He should be sleeping by now" I hissed.

"I'm tired katatapos lang ng training ko besides nakausap ko na si Manong, 'di ba manong?" Sabay akbay at kindat pa kay Manong.

"Oo nga naman Miss Lia!" Ngumiti pa si Manong. I shrugged and nauna nang pumasok sa kotse.

Umupo si Kuya sa front seat, mabuti na rin 'yon sila naman talaga ang magkavibes.

"Kuya, where's Mommy? Hindi rin siya uuwi today?"

My Mom's a Cardiologist so obviously she lives in the hospital, umuuwi naman siya pero hindi araw araw. She's a busy woman ni hindi na ata sila nagkikita ni Daddy kasi pareho silang busy.

I remember surprising her on her birthday sa hospital mismo may dala akong cake and balloons naman kay Kuya Zyair. Kuya Zay on the other hand was busy, well, law student ba naman. Kaya ayon sabi niya lang "send her my regards" Maybe he's still holding a grudge towards Mom, who wouldn't? Me, I hold no grudges, but I will never forget the pain that caused me.

It turns out na may inooperahan siya noong time na 'yon. Kuya and I just shrugged it off and went out to the nearest restaurant. Well at least I have my brother? Not bad at all.

"Lia?" God you saved me from my deep thoughts.

"I said she's in the hospital as usual, what were you thinking? Is something bothering you?"

"Nah, I'm just bored Kuya, malayo pa ba?"

"Hindi Miss Lia, andito na po tayo"

Naunang lumabas si Kuya at binuksan ang pintuan sa kinaroroonan ko saka niya inilahad ang kamay niya. Sino sino pa kaya ang mahuhulog sakanya? Gentleman na mabait pa, maingay nga lang.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes of course, Kuya" I smiled at him, bago kami pumasok.

I can say that I am used to this kind of parties, formal parties, business related parties.

I was 16 when Dad started to take us to this kind of parties, para masanay daw kami kasi kami rin daw ang aattend kapag nasa business trip siya. Gaya ngayon, He's in Seattle for a business trip. Well businessmen and their different businesses all over the world.

Different faces but they have similarity when it comes to being rich? Make more money? I did born having a rich parents. But I don't want any of these, I want their time not their money.
