Chapter 9| Care
Today is Monday, starting of the school day. My Mommy enrolled Verna in the fields of culinary. Verna shared she went to college before but she only finished one semester and she has not been able to continue schooling due to financial problems. So, my Mommy went to the idea to ask her if she wanted to continue studying and she answered yes. That's the reason why we will study at the same university.
Till now, I still remember her face when Mommy ask that question to her. It was priceless. You can see in her face the desire to finish school.
I am now driving going to school. I have noticed that Verna had been restless and got tense in her seat.

I shook my head."Tita scolded you last night, isn't she?" he teased and wiggled his eyebrows as he followed me walking down the hallway of the university."Because you're such a pain in my ass. You always wanted to be the best." I hissed bitterly. I could see the grin on his face slowly fading. He averted his gaze to our way.I hate him! I hate him for being my cousin!"Haven't you had breakfast yet? Let's eat. My treat. Let's go to the cafeteria." he offered.

Looks like she was embarrassed about what's happening right now.I feel like I was going to melt like ice cream the way how Tatay Mario glared at me. I gulp. It losing me the courage to speak even more. I feel like everything I am going to say should be favoured by them all.I glanced at Miggy's room when the door opened. My monkey cousin busy stretching his arms and yawning. When they saw us sitting in the living room, he spoke."Good morning! What's happening in here, guys? What's up?" he innocently asked while there's a smile on his face. Tatay Mario and his sons just stared in my cousin's direction. Didn't utter any word.Miggy's smile on his face fades away.

The next morning."Cousin, can you go with Verna for a walk at the river?" asking a favour of Miggy who is now chopping wood here in the yard.I looked at him in disbelief."Me?" I fantastically asked while pointing at myself.Miggy stopped chopping the wood and wiped his sweat with the clothes he had taken off. I winced at what I saw.This man is gross."The brothers are in the rice field right now. They helping Tatay Mario on the farm," he explained and sat down on a wooden chair. I sat next to him."And so?""Come with her." he sparingly answered without even looking at me.I thought for a moment about his favour then suddenly, I smiled widely. Maybe, there's no one else in the river, right?"Okay." I agreed while there's a devilish smile on my face.My cousin looked at me critically. To my surprise, he glared at me."Don't do anything stupid.
