Allured

Introduction: Standing in front of a mansion-like house, I hesitate wether I should enter or not. It's now or never. Dalawa lang naman yung patutunguhan nito. It's either a good decision or a bad one, pero kung hindi naman ako titira dito, wala naman akong pagpipilian. Wala na akong ibang mapupuntahan after that accident two years ago. Bukod sa wala na si mama at papa, my Tita Helen was the only relative that left from me. Not to mention with his son. I just seen Tita Helen once in my debut but never his son which is cousin ko. The gate open three minutes after I press the dingdong botton. A woman on her early forty's was revealed by the gate. I can see my mom on her. Her face resembles mom only to proved that they were really siblings. A gorgeous smile was planted on her lips. "Audi?" I nodded. Ngayon ko lang siya nakita after nung debut ko. For the past 7 years we never had the chance to talk. As if there was something we need to. My mind interrupted me from my thought. "God! You're already here. Come in." I scanned the whole house as we enter inside. Quite perfect. But I think masyadong malaki ang bahay nato para sa kanilang dalawa ng anak niya. As what I knew, iniwan sila ng asawa niya. Honestly, I can say na we're stable but my Tita was difinitely rich. "I wished to have a daughter and here you are now. Everything happens for a reason iha." Two years na mula nung aksidente and I could say I've already moved on. Tanggap ko na wala na sila mama. Nung gumaling na ako sa hospital, Tita Helen want me to moved in here but I'm not ready yet so I decided na tumuloy na muna sa bahay amponan at saka ko na lang ituloy yung buhay ko kung matatanggap ko na ang lahat. Sa mga panahong yun, iniisip ko kasi na baka matagal pa ako makaka-move on kung dito ako magpapagaling kasi nakikita ko ka tita Helen yung mama ko. Mami-miss ko lang siya pero ngayon ay handa na akong magsimula. Kung ang pagbaon ng mga ala-ala ng nakaraan at paglimot ng aking masaklap na kahapon ang tanging paraan para bumalik lahat sa normal then I'll do it. Bagong simula. Bagong buhay. Bagong pag-asa. At ang bagong ako. Bumalik lang ako sa realidad nung may narinig akong papalapit na hakbang mula sa may hagdan patungo sa amin. Itinuon ko yung mata ko sa direksyon niya. The way his brown eyes looked at us--or sa akin lang ba siya nakatingin?-- shows something na para bang galit siya sa mundo. His nose that really emphasizes how perfectly sculptured he was. Yeah, he's perfectly built but his presence shouts bad luck to me. Parang feeling ko ito yata yung bad charm ko but like what they said don't just the book by it's cover. Huwag nating pangunahan yung feeling natin. "Great! From now on, he will be your brother iha. By the way, son, meet your sister--" "I wouldn't care who she is." He scanned my wholeness. From head to toe back to his mother. I was right. He's such an evil. Ayaw niya sa akin pwes ayoko rin sa kanya. "Kurt! You shouldn't say that! Greet her properly. Welcomed her." He shrugged as if he was saying.  "Okay then, easy as it is." He came closer to me and I was shocked when he say "Welcome." He smiled, knowing that it was just a fake one. But I was more shocked when he embraced me with an unwarming hug and whispered..... "f**k you to HELL"
