Chapter 10

"Palabas na sila dala dala na ni Eli ang mga bagahe niya, nakasalubong nila si Andrea sa papasok ng hotel ,"

"Ang galing talaga ng babae mong ito Eli kahapon lang iba ang kaakbay niyan ngayon ay ikaw na naman, ganyan ba talagang babae ang gusto mo Eli? araw araw iba iba ang lalaking kasama?"

"Andrea huwag kang gumawa ng eksena dito baka kung ano ang magawa ko sayo ,"

"Hindi ka ba naniniwala sa akin na may kasama yan kani kanina lang?"

Alam ko at kilala ko ang lalaking sinasabi mo kaya huwag mo na akong gatungan matagal na akong nasunog sa apoy na ginawa no noon, until now dama ko pa rin ang epekto ng mga ginawa mo noon,

Si Rey ay nakikinig lang sa usapan nila, dama niya ang concern ni Eli sa kanya, bigla siyang nagpasalamat sa Diyos dahil sa marami ang taong nagmamahal sa kanya, bigla niyang naalala ang kaibigan niyang si Junas, labis din siyang mahal nito mula noon hangang ngayon.

Stop crying Rey here I buy you some chocolate in the store across the street,"

"Why don't you just tell me that I'm not allowed to go outside, you certainly decided to buy me something without my permission, It's annoyingly hard to understand all the people in this house," I feel bad about myself and the feeling of amazingly dependable to all of you,"can you answer my fool temper ,"

"Is it really your temper Rey?" A very simple thing you make it look like a big deal?,"

"I'd rather go on my own , I'll just be myself ," Rey whispered.

Then she cries a lot and a non stop crying to the max, until she tired of crying and just fell asleep.

She is the little Rey back then, she is as fragile as the thin whiskey glass in the bar, which is always pretty for my sights like the evening stars in the sky, my beloved little sister. I adore you too much. Junas murmured,

A six year old child is crying setting in the ground while her two feet is moving up and down, being her habbit of tantrums.

"Nay I want to buy some food in the sari-sari store across the street please let me do it,"

"Okey I'll permit you to do so if you go with Junas,"

"No I don't want to go with him anymore because he doesn't want me to buy chocolate and scolded me by saying that if I buy chocolate often I'll be very ugly when I grow up, so don't force me nanay of going with him because I hate him, from now on I am not his friend anymore,"

"Rey please forgive me I will not nag at you anymore just stay please, I'm actually worried about you, I let you do what you want to do so please be my friend again, I can't sleep being this,"

"Okey fine , Nas you're forgiven, i want to sleep I'm feeling sleepy

"Okey I'll take you to your room," sleep tight Rey thank you for forgiving me , I love you,"

"I love you too Nas,"

Sina sabi niya iyon ay nakapikit na ang kanyang mga mata ganoon ka spoild si Rey kay Junas.

"Nas punta tayo sa labas makipag laro tayo sa mga bata,"

"Rey we're not allowed to go outside ask permission to nanay Lagring ,"

"No I hate you I want to play outside ,"

Rey again cried and goes to her room and locked it tightly, she's always like this because she gets what she wants to get always,  It is the habbit of this 8 years old girl, sincerely Junas gives what she wanted always.

Junas knocks the door,

Rey open the door, you won again okey we will go outside and play,

"I don't want to see your face again ,"

"Okey , okey take a nap to let you freshen up,"

"Rey don't waste your time of practicing that taekwando, "Junas told her  sinsetively, you're a girl and everyone in your side will always protect you from any harm you will encounter in your life so stop that please,"

Nas what you don't understand is I cannot depend on you anytime ,when we grow up you have to live with your potential family, and you will abandon me according to your situation by then what will happen to me ?

"I'll take you with my supposed to be family ,"

"Nas I'll appreciate your love to me and thank you for supporting me always,

"But let's just face it I can't be with you always because time will come that we will noticed we are in part ways already, and we will be able to take the chances for the consequence that we have to make it through, but still if it may happen , always bear in mind that I really love you as my  big brother," again thank you very much  Nas,",

Twelve years old na noon si Rey kaya medyo may sense na itong kausap.

Naglakad lakad lang muna sila ni Junas dahil mamaya ay uuwi na sila nanood lang sila ng show sa school nina Rey pinasamahan siya ni Manang Lagring kay Junas, kasama din kasi si Rey sa play siya si snow white sa fairy tales play nila sa school, pagkatapos ng play ay nagpalit lang siya ng damit, dahil nagyaya nga si Junas na mamasyal pagkatapos ng play ni Rey, hindi na nga nila natapos ang program umalis agad siya dahil gusto talaga ni Junas na gumala.

"Rey kumain muna tayo nagugutom na kasi ako para pag  uwi natin ay hindi na tayo kumain matulog na lang agad tayo." Saan ka  ba papasok na school ngayong pasukan? First year high school ka na ngayong pasukan di ba?

"Oo nga  pumunta sa amin si Senador Agustin noong nakaraang araw dinig ko ay sa Ponce Polytechnic University yata niya ako gustong ipasok doon din kasi pumapasok ang mga anak  niya ,"

"Doon din ang school ko kaya lang ay iba ibang department tayo  third year na kasi ako ngayong pasukan mabuti na yon Rey dahil maisasabay na lang kita pauwi ,"

Pag dating nila ng bahay ay pasok agad sila ng kuwarto at natulog na agad , sa kuwarto ni Rey mismo , sanay silang matulog na magkatabi, si Rey kasi nung bata pa sila ay gustong laging katabi sa pagtulog si Junas palibhasa spoild ito kay Junas kaya pinag bigyan niya ito, hangang sa nakasanayan na nila ito, lagi na silang natutulog na magkasama minsan sa bahay pa mismo nina Junas at minsan ay sa bahay na nina Rey kaya kinabukasan ay ginigising ito ni Manang Lagring para umuwi na,

"Junas anak gising na tumutunog na ang cellphone mo at umuwi ka na rin baka hanapin ka na sa inyo ,"

"Mamaya na po muna Manang inaantok pa po ako,"

"O, Sige mga 30 minutes lang gigisingin na kita ha!,"

" Sige po,"
