I almost forgot that my back was wounded. I have to hide the pain as much as possible because I didn't want them to notice, but the pain was getting unbearable.
"Lola," I heard Aviona's whisper.
Kyo was silently driving the car and I was sitting beside him while Aviona was with her lola in the back seat.
"Lola Peach, ano po iyong kapatid?"
Aviona whispered again and I could see her staring at us in the rearview mirror.
Bumulong din iyong matanda. "Ang kapatid ay iyong matapos kang ipanganak, pagkatapos ay kinadyot ulit ng tatay mo iyong nanay mo, nagbuntis iyong nanay at iniluwal iyong kasunod mo. Ganun iyon."
"Ibig pong sabihin, iisa lang ang tatay nilang nangadyot at iyong nanay nilang nagbuntis?"
"Ay, oo, ganoon nga."
"Kung kapatid nya yan, posible ring meron syang santol na may buhok?"
"Aba'y alamin natin."
Oh, crap.
"Nakow, eh ganoon na nga iyon. Pero sa kaso nila Ser, na-unang ipinanganak si Ser Kyo." Paliwanag pa ni lola Peach.
"Ibig din po bang sabihin, Lola Peach, ay posibleng may kapatid din ako." Aviona whispered again.
"Ay siguro naman, hija. Malilibog ang mga Montemayor, eh."
Napasentido na ako. I don't wanna hear their voices. Lalo lang akong nai-stress. Maybe it's better to have a little chat with Kyo.
Tumikhim muna ako. "Why are you doing this?" I asked, without looking at him.
And as I expected, he didn't answer.
He suddenly pulled the car over the side of the street. Lumabas siya ng kotse at nagtungo sa akin. "Get out," he said.
Nagtama muna ang aming mga mata ni Aviona sa rearview mirror bago ako bumaba ng kotse.
Humarap ako kay Kyo. We were in the same height yet he was much older than me. Subalit kung titingnan sya ay parang hindi nalalayo ang edad nya sa akin. "What?"
Bigla niya akong sinapak. Natagpuan ko na lang ang aking sarili na napalupagi sa lupa. Funny because I can dodge a bullet but not his punch.
Agad na lumabas ng koste sa Aviona upang daluhan ako. "Just Lander..."
Ang peste namang matandan ay nanamantala. Doon agad yumakap kay Kyo para awatin ito. "S-Ser Kyo, tama na..."
