TW: Beware of wrong grammars and errors.
You don't even know what your brother is saying, but why does it seem like I'm still the one being passed over? Sometimes, I can see that my brother is teasing me, but no, because I will still fulfill the date-to-marry that I wanted or would like. It's up to Cupid, as long as it's mine, I'm fine in this state.
I stopped thinking when someone knocked on my room,
*Knock knock
"Yes?"
"Luna, let's go to Skyranch you want?"
"Yes, wait, I'll just get dressed, I'll be next with you,"
"Alright son take your time"
I've already chosen what I'm going to wear that's comfortable, I don't even want it because if I have a bag, I'm still comfortable after I got dressed, I took my bag and I'm ready to go
"Well, you're really different, Luna, who are you styling and what you're wearing now is beautiful" My older brother was teasing me
I almost felt sorry for what he was doing, it's so annoying.
"You know bro, you're a fool, I'm only going to wear this now but you're still teasing me, and for your information bro I'm not doing anything"
"That's enough, let's go" Mom said
We got into the van and Dad drove, I really miss this bonding, I looked at the buildings we were passing, they didn't even know mom that I have my own condo, how come, my allowance is full bank, they always give like mom and I never run out of money in ATM, wallet and bank.
It's really different when you burden your parents, so I know if there are a lot of expenses because I have some.
When we arrived at Skyranch, it was as if I had changed, it was not like this before, it has developed a bit because of its old beauty, I can't realize what year it was when we went here last. We settled for less, our car was already parked in the parking lot but guess what, I saw the brother when my brother told me, it was none other than Bryle, what a bad luck!
He was with a tall man but not as old as him, the one he was with seemed to be older, I couldn't do anything but go straight towards them mom, just as my brother saw Bryle, I was surprised that my brother suddenly approached theirs.
"Ryxel, you're here," My brother greeted Bryle's brother nicely
"Oh bro, yeah, it's also family day," Said my brother when he talked
"Who is that guy Lexiana? Why are you staring at them like that?" Mom asked me
"Mom that's kuya friends, don't you worry, that's how kuya is famous, he let the girls/boys approach him"
"Gosh, they look alike when your daddy did you know? He was like that too, so there's no doubt if your brother is ever a heartthrob"
"Mom stop it, big brother doesn't like that"
"Hahaha, don't worry son, the important thing is that I have your mommy" Dad teased mom
"The hell dad, so cringe"
Mom even laughed at me
"Hey that's not cringe" Kingston said
"It's up to you, Kingston let's go, I don't want to get infected when they corny, right mom and dad?"
"Did you just want to leave so that you can get whatever you want? Or you want to avoid mom and dad from being corny? Why are you so jealous?"
"You too? Go ahead and leave me alone, I'm annoyed by this"
They all just laughed at each other, I don't know but I felt like someone was staring at me, I looked behind and it was Bryle, I stopped near the Ferris Wheel
"Are you alone?" Somebody talked at my back
Before he could speak, I immediately run away to escape, damn that was scary.
"Hey wait!" He follows me
Nah, I don't want some chasing would be ended up here
"Bryle, don't go too far, you might get lost" Someone told him
"Nah, I gotta find that woman"
"Who? My sister?" My brother asked
Luckily they didn't see me cause I'm hiding
"Is that your sister? The one who is running away a while ago?"
"Actually yes, that's my sister, he isn't that easy to get, sometimes he did that because she's scared." Big bunny said
I pinched my brother
"Why did you tell?" I asked
"Stop this Lexiana, by the way this is Bryle, Ryxel, his younger brother"
"So you are the one who is following at me??" I frown
"Yes and you immediately run away not until your kuya showed up"
"You scared me in that shit you know??"
"Sorry if that was you meant"
"Fine"
"Lexiana, deal this with me, go beyond with Bryle on a bond, is that alright with you?"
"No kuya you're so get easy, stop forcing me to proceed with Bryle, either me isn't excited, gotta go in my own"
"Lexiana you are not older enough"
"Even kuya, I know what I'm doing okay?"
"No, let Kingston go with you"
"No I don't want"
"Lexiana?! Don't make me mad here, do what I tell at you, whether you like it or not"
"Okay fine, let Kingston be at my side"
"Good girl"
"Bad big bunny!" I told
"Stop being childish Lexiana"
"You can't, blehhhh" I stock out my tongue and laugh at him
"Stop that awful act Ate" Kingston said
"You are the one who will stop okay?"
"Okay, by the way Ate can we eat now? I'm hungry"
"Same, let's go find some restaurant around here"
"Sure"
He is the one who is always hungry to the 3 of us, beyond of looking some restaurants we headed right to Mang Jose Lechon at Inasal, right when we looked at the menu, my eyes twitched, because it's different when I'm hungry
It's good that our companions are not looking for us
And suddenly called the waiter and ordered food.
We ordered:
2 Chicken Inasal-Pecho
Hawaiian Picha pie
2 Halo-Halo
2 Mango Juice
2 Inihaw na saba at Sorbetes (lahat nang flavor)
"Just wait for the serving, ma'am," said the server
After minutes, it was served to us
I was about to eat when someone suddenly spoke
"The princess didn't even invite the family," My brother said
It turned out to be my older brother, I just saw my dad almost laughing at my appearance because I was really hungry
"I'm hungry brother,"
"Do we know that you two ran away?" said brother
"Shut up, brother, just let me eat," I said
"Alright, eat now, we'll order." Big bro said
I didn't say a word anymore, I just let my brother, the reprimand, is always painful
Bryle and his older brother were in the other table, then my older brother, mom and dad were next to me, my brother was next to my older brother, because he said it was his favorite.
It's like I'm jealous of Kingston because he's more in favor of my brother.
After I ate, "Honey My Love So Sweet" (song) came on, well, who am I, that sound is always wrong timing. I see Bryle was also staring at me like I just want to feed on the ground with the way he stares, don't be like that Bryle oh
Suddenly, Celestina called
Calling:
(L for Lexiana and C for Celestina)
L: Hello?
C: Well, when did you come back here to Manila? Because we thought about what date we will hold the project
L: Maybe we should do it in class. What did Leyzel mention?
C: You and Bryle are busy, so we are asking when your free day is?
L: Is it really a free day? You can do that in class, no problem
C: Alright, I'll take care of it
L: Thank you
Call ended
"Big bunny, can you accompany me?"
"Where?"
"There!" I pointed the lake view and he nodded
"Thank you Big bunny!"
"Just the relaxing part of this place. Are you sure with this Lexiana?" Kuya asked me
"Yeah"
We headed to the terrace where you can see the entire lake, I can't say anything because it's so beautiful, I don't even know how to express the beauty
He take some pictures at me and I'm going to post it later for another Instagram.
"Achilles!" Bryle's brother called my brother
"Yes bro?"
"Can we suddenly talk for a second, something came up"
"Sure," He look towards at me "Let we just talk for a second, I'll be right back princess"
"Yuck big bunny stop calling me princess"
"Sure Lexiana"
He proceed with kuya Ryxel and Bryle came over
"Are you Lexiana from Xavier School at San Juan?" He asked
"Yes why?"
"What is your grade level now?"
"Grade 9, how about you?"
"Same grade level, section A" I told
"Mine is same to you"
"Wait you are the one who is transferee?"
"Me? Actually, yes. I am"
"Ohh, nice to meet you" I spoke
"When will you go back to Manila?"
"Tomorrow why?"
"My kuya ask your brother if we can have a bond if ever we are in Manila, is that okay with you?" Bryle asked
"If that's okay to my brother then I allow"
"Thank you Lexiana, see you at school"
"Probably,"
Kuya actually interrupt us
"Are you done talking?" He said
"Actually yes Kuya. Kuya can I ask a favor?" I said
"What favor?"
"Can we ride at the Ferris Wheel?" I asked
"Sure, wait let me buy some ticket"
"Kuya, can I come with you both?" Kingston asked
"Sure, why not?"
"Yes!" We said
After kuya buys the ticket we immediately proceed with him, Kuya is there for us to take care, what lovingly brother!
"Let's go! C'mon Lexiana, go first, Kingston you proceed" the Kuya hopped in and Wow this is our first time riding this Ferris Wheel
First of all it was a giant Ferris Wheel
"Wow kuya, it's moving!" Kingston said
"Yes and let's appreciate the view"
Not until we see the whole lake, it's so pretty how lucky for us yo take pictures
Limited ride but it was so breath taking, I would always cherish the view.
"Do you enjoy both?" Kuya asked us
"Yes kuya, we super enjoy it, thank you for letting us experience it" we hug kuya
"Hey stop it already, I gave something to tell to you both later on, but for now let's go to the parking lot cause mom and dad was waiting for us already okay?"
"Sure kuya"
We follow kuya not until we see mom and dad
"Seems like you enjoy every minute?" Dad asked us
"Yes of course dad, when I saw the entire lake and Tagaytay, I won't even neglect myself looking from those amazing creatures"
"That's right Lexiana, you should appreciate everything, how about you Kingston"
"I think I might have fear of heights" Kingston said
"That's normal" Mom said to Kingston
"Mom, Dad, are we really going home?" Kuya ask them
"Actually yes, we need to proceed at the company, some issues are present again, so we are needed" Mom said
"Is that so mom? Okay let me just drop at the house to get the car and Lexiana and Kingston will be ahead with the grocery store" Kuya Achiles said
"Sure" dad said
Dad drops us off at the grocery store and we immediately go inside just to wait Kuya, I knew it was just not far away so we are okay here
Kingston accompanied me so now we are enjoying going grocery shopping, we prioritize food especially the things we usually eat, we are not used to bonding at the grocery store so here we are now, my brother is pushing the cart while I am here adding food to the cart, after we went to the food section, we went to the laundry area, because now I prefer to do laundry because the washing is automatic in the condo so there is no problem, my brother arrived just in time and we went straight to the frozen section, we didn't I love frozen food so much that we only bought a few, we only got what was really needed for another month, I also bought what I will need in the condo so we bought more, it doesn't matter that my brother and I will go home together because he will buy it they say the Fortuner is in Manila, so I'm excited because someone will pick me up.
After we took all the things we went straight to the counter to pay, the cashier was quick enough to scan the codes so we were quick, after that we put the things we bought in our car.
"Let's have coffee,"
"Are you free, brother?" Kingston asked
"Yes."
"Wait, brother, what are you trying to say a while ago when we are off to Ferris wheel?"
"Don't rush everything unless it's needed" kuya said
We went to parking area and put all those grocery packs on the compartment area at the back of our car
"Why Kuya? Is there's something wrong?" I asked
"There is nothing wrong, what I'm trying to implied you both is the way you will make your decision free like soon, later I'll tell you all the matters"
We went to Starbucks here in Tagaytay, and there were only a few people, so we were able to get a seat, we ordered, and the order arrived minutes later.
This is what we ordered, but my brother Kingston ordered something different
Here's his. He's a bit fed up with our orders, so we don't continue to force him.
When we started eating, he just opened up
"You know what life is unpredicted, you may not see it right now cause you're still young but don't rush everything, mom and dad did this all just for us, let them see us successful soon, Lexiana be responsible, I know you're still young, any decisions in life can be regrettable and enjoyable, I won't predict everything you will do in the future but I trust you, don't fail mom and dad, also you Kingston, you should set some standard especially in girls, you're both young you know that and I'm older to the both of you, single advice I will tell don't rush everything, once you step on college everything hits you pieces by pieces."
"Kuya, what will we going to do?" I asked
"Be responsible as long as I'm here supporting mom and dad, don't disappoint them as long as you improve what you can improve"
"Kuya, are you pressured?" Kingston asked
"Not that really pressured but as a role of older/first son, it was hard to carry all the things with your sister/brother, I may not result to damn disaster but I will take this as inspiration cause you are there to help me, don't tell mom and dad all of this I may this becoming irresponsible and irrelevant into their eyes"
"Sure kuya we won't failed you," we said
We hug him both
"Ate Kitty?" Kingston said
"Yes?"
"When will I go to Manila?" He asked me
"Why you ask?"
"Cause I am the one who is always left here at Tagaytay, no one is here at me especially in my downs" Kingston said
"Kingston, you are too young, once you became High School, you are now going to start schooling at Manila" Kuya Achilles said
"Are you sure with that Kuya?"
"Of course Kingston, don't you worry Kuya is always one call away, okay? So don't be sad"
"And also I'm here as your ate okay?"
We both comforted Kingston after that Kuya Achilles suggest us to go home so we decided to go home instead staying here
We headed to the parking lot and got on the car to go home,
We are going home, and later, I will take a nap because tomorrow is Sunday, and we will go to Mass but before everything I eat dinner and freshen up before I sleep.
Usual routine every time before I sleep.
Next Day
6:00 am alarm
It's morning already and I need top woke up early for the mass, I slept enough earlier so I'm awake now, I also drink coffee so that I don't feel sleepy during the trip or the mass.
The weather today wants to rain so it's boring to proceed.
"Lexiana, let's go?" Kuya said
"Coming Kuya,"
"Let me wait for you at the car," Kuya said
"Sure Kuya,"
I took my bag and put on perfume, I went straight out of my room and closed the door, just as I was going down the stairs when they were all staring at me
"Is there's something wrong?" I asked
"Nothing, where just shock at you"
"There is no surprise on me, I'm always like this, nothing unusual"
"Let's go everyone" Dad said
We just follow them and we proceed at the car minutes later when we arrived at Our Lady of Manaoag here in Tagaytay, Dad is the one who is first to get out then next is us, actually this is our Sunday routine especially if there is event.
We proceed inside before the rains pour, its a blessing cause it rains i was shock cause the time we went inside is the the it rains and we find some seats to seat in, so we proceeded not nearly in front because it was already fill even there's a lot of churches it was hard to see that one church is not that full usually you can avoid specially today is Sunday.
Hours later...
After finishing all my packs that I'll bring to my condo, Kuya knocked my door just to follow up if I'm finished already in packing my things.
"Are you done packing, little bunny?" Kuya asked me
"Yes kuya, are we going now?"
"Yes, so let's go?"
"Sure kuya, bye Kingston, see you in 2 weeks" I said
"Sure Ate, Be safe"
"Yes of course, love you" I hug him before we left.
