I'M INTO YOU SEASON 1

Chapter 40

2:18 PM

"Madalas ang issues sa magkakapatid ay yung age gap. The oldest ones has a superior thing rather than being a partners thing with the youngest ones. It gives sense of entitlement not a sense of service. It's a beautiful thing to have an open mind and understanding heart having the relationship of being siblings." malumanay na sagot ko kay Kuya.

"As your brother, I have to be self-aware more than being self-righteous. I don't have the energy to focus on the other things na wala ako. I have to focus on the things who can develop me into a person who can create the things na pwede akong magkaroon." nakangiting sabi ni Kuya sa akin.

He's a deep thinker. When he talks, it really pierces through the soul.

"I think there are people who really expresses that very well with different aspects in life. We have our own roles in our own story. We have a purpose in every scene. Everything we do, our opinion is valid. Walang tama o mali. Kung may reason man na bakit iba-iba ang opinion natin, sana yun ang maging dahilan para makagawa ka ng solusyon at maging parte ka ng pagbabago." seryosong sagot ko kay Kuya.

"Every issue is an opportunity to unite. The real question is, what's your intention of saying that? Is it really to build the person? Is it really to call out the person what's wrong? To correct it? Maybe, just to say things that will destroy to that person? Instead of uniting to solve an issue, it's becoming more and more of a competition of opinions." seryosong sabi ni Kuya sa akin.

"It will always lead to no solutions at all. The superiority you have, you stand what you believe is right and that makes it wrong. The ego will you feel likes nothing more and craves nothing more than the feeling of being right by making someone else wrong." seryosong sagot ko kay Kuya.

Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas ay nakatapos na kaming maghugas ng mga plato, kutsara, tinidor, baso at pinaglutuan ni Mommy ng ulam kaninang tanghalian.

"O siya sige na, aakyat na ako sa taas. Ilagay mo na lang yang mga hinugasan natin sa lalagyanan." kalmadong utos ni Kuya sa akin.

Sinunod ko agad ang utos ni Kuya sa akin at nilagay ang mga hinugasan namin sa tamang kinalalagyan nito.

Nakita ko si Mommy na pabalik sa dining area. Lumapit ako sakaniya at nagsalita.

"Mommy naipadala mo na yung pack lunch na ginawa mo para kay Daddy?" nakangiting tanong ko kay Mommy.

"Oo anak, ipinadala ko kay Mang Ernesto yung pack lunch na ginawa ko para sa Daddy niyo. Nagaalala lang ako sakaniya na baka hindi pa siya kumakain sa tamang oras." nakangiting sagot ni Mommy sa akin.

"Mommy do you think naka-affect yung trabaho ni Daddy sa relationship niyong dalawa bilang mag-asawa?" hinawakan ko ang kamay ni Mommy at dinala ko siya sa may sofa.

Umupo kaming dalawa at tiningnan niya ako sa mata bago sumagot.

"Well, yes. Sa totoo lang, naattract ako lalo sa maturity ng Daddy mo. Nowadays, there are many busy people in their personal lives. Nakita ko sakaniya yung kagustuhan niya na balang araw maging maganda ang takbo ng buhay niya at yung mga taong makakasama niya sa habang-buhay. Alam niya yung hirap na pinagdaanan ng lahat ng tao ngayon, he's building a future with me. With us."

"Is there a time na nagalit ka kay Daddy na hindi ka ine-entertain bilang asawa niya?" malumanay kong tanong kay Mommy.

"Hindi, naniniwala ako sa loob ng 24 hours na mayroon ang isang araw. If you really love the person, you will make time for them. If he's busy building with our future. I will support him rather than leaving him behind and entertaining other person because he can't give me the time I wanted." malumanay na sagot ni Mommy sa akin.
