Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Advantage

Morde's POV

"Morde, you're supposed to play with your cousins. It's better if you will stop reading those books for a while," my uncle said and tried to get the books that I'm reading, but I refused to give them to him.

Kakabalik niya lang dito sa Pilipinas kaya hindi niya talaga alam na isa akong batang mahilig sa pagbabasa ng mga libro.

He chuckled as he saw that I tightened the grip on the book. I would rather read a book than play games with my cousins with their robots and barbie toys. Well, I don't hate toys, it's just that I prefer reading and learning.

"This is a family reunion. You're supposed to play with your cousins. Come on, don't be stuck on those books you have. Your eyes might hurt." He kept on forcing me to play with my cousins younger than me, but I shook my head, refusing to play with them.

I'm ten years old, and I already have the right to have my own business. Wala kasi akong hilig sa mga laro nila dahil mas gusto ko ang pag-iisip sa mga riddles na sa tingin ko ay hindi nila makukuha.

Nandito kami sa private resort ni Daddy at gaya ng nakasanayan ay kaming pamilya ang nandito dahil kakauwi lang ni Tito Brandon galing States. I think he's not aware that I'm this kind of kid, unlike his children, who only know how to whine and spoil.

Lima sila magkakapatid. Panganay si Daddy at sumunod naman si Tito Brandon, Tito Charles, Tita Ellie at ang bunso ay si Tita Amy.

"Tito, I just want to read books. I'm enjoying this rather than playing with my cousins, who are younger than me. If they are going to read this, I'm sure they won't get it."

Napakamot ako sa batok ko at nagawang sulyapan ang mga pinsan ko na naglalaro ng tea party sa damuhan.

Even though I'm just ten years old, I'm aware of my surroundings. I'm more into riddles and crime investigating. Sometimes my history videos are full of riddles and detective history, which is why Mom scolded me and said that I was still too young to watch those kinds of videos.

Maybe she's worried that I'm growing fast, unlike my cousins who are into tea parties and toys.

"Ano ba 'yang binabasa mo?'' He looked at what I'm reading, and his jaw almost dropped.

What's wrong with the one that I'm reading? The book is colored red, and it has gold lettering on it. I enjoy reading this because of the details and terms.

"What the hell... Kuya Max!" sigaw ni Tito Brandon na dahilan para kumunot ang noo ko. Dahil sa sigaw ni Tito Brandon ay lumapit si Daddy sa amin na may halong pagtataka sa kanyang mukha.

"Bakit mo ako tinawag?" tanong ni Daddy kay Tito Brandon at nakita kong umiling ang kapatid niya.

"Kuya, nakikita mo ba 'yung binabasa ng anak mo?" Tinuro niya pa ang librong hawak ko. Kinuha ko lang naman ito sa opisina ni Daddy, tss.
