"Emerald!,ano ka bang bata ka,bumaba ka nga dyan..mahulog ka"
Natatarantang sigaw sa kanya ng kanyang yaya Lorie.
"Bumaba ka dyang bata ka,baka mahulog ka.." ulit nitong sigaw na natataranta.
"Hihihihi" tumatawang bumaba sa puno ng mangga si Emerald.
"Ikaw bata ka, dalaga ka na pero ang hilig mo pa ring umakyat sa mga puno, naku aatakehin ako sa puso sayong bata ka" sermon ni yaya Lorie sa alaga pagkabang pagkababa.
"Si yaya talaga, ikaw na nagsabi bata pa ako, tapos sasabihin mo dalaga na ako" natatawang sagot ni Emerald sa kanyang yaya Lorie habang nagpapagpag sa suot na short ang duming dumikit dito.
"Aba at namimilosopo ka pang bata ka, pumasok ka na sa mansions bata ka at may bisita ang ate Kristina mo"
Namilog ang mata ni Emerald ng malamang may bisita ang ate Cristina nya, iisang tao lang ang dumadalaw sa mansion upang bisitahin ang ate Kristina nya ito ay ang panganay na anak ng mga Zobel de Ayala.
"Kuya Vincent!" , sigaw nitong tumatakbong papasok Ng mansion.
Napapailing na lang na napapangiti si Aling Lorie habang nakatingin sa alagang tumatakbo papasok Ng mansion. Dalaga na alaga nya,sa edad nitong kinse anyos ay napakagandang bata kaya lang may pagka isip bata pa at kung maka akyat sa puno akala mo lalaki. Aba'y halos lahat Ng puno sa buong hacienda eh gusto akyatin.
"Hello emerald, andyan ba ate Kristina mo?" Bungad ni Vincent sabay Tayo sa pagkakaupo sa sala grande ng mansion.
"Hah? Di ko alam kuya Vincent" hindi malaman ni Emerald sa sarili kung Bakit iyon ang isinagot nya sa lalaki.
Hindi nya alam kung Bakit nakaramdam siya ng inis ng ang una nitong hanapin ay ang kanyang kapatid, maganda rin Naman ako ah tulad Ng ate ko, sa loob loob nya.Hindi maiwasang sumimangot ni Emerald.
"Oh Bakit humaba nguso mo?,akala mo wala ako pasalubong para sayo ano? Sabay gusot nito na nakangiti sa mahabang buhok ni Emerald.
Bakit lalo yata naging kaakit akit Sakin ang ngiti ni kuya Vincent? Gustong gusto nya kapag ngumingiti sa kanya ang lalaki na lalong nagiging prominente Ng cleft chin nito.
"Oh eto, ang paborito mong chocolates, imported to dala nina mommy at daddy galing sa pag tour abroad" sabay abot ni Vincent ng mga chocolates kay Emerald.
Na agad inabot ni Emerald na nawala na ang pagtulis ng nguso.
"Oh Bakit ang dumi ng short mo"? Pansin ng binata samaruming short ni Emerald.
"Hay naku iho, alam mo Naman yang batang yan,hindi kumpleto ang araw kung hindi makakaakyat sa mga puno sa paligid ng mansion oh kaya sa hacienda." Sabat ni yaya Lorie na kasunod ni Emerald na pumasok ng mansion.
"Yaya Naman eh,hindi na ako bata" sabay padyak ng paa ni Emerald sa marmol na sahig ng mansion, ewan nya pero ayaw nyang tinatawag pang bata lalo at kaharap si Vincent. Muli ito sumimangot.
"Hahahaha, lakas Ng tawa ni Vincent, "may dalaga bang umaakyat pa sa mga puno?" Natatawang pang aasar ni Vincent kay Emerald,natutuwa siya sa kapatid Ng nobya, malapit ang loob nya dito dahil wala sipang kapatid na babae Ng kanyang mga kapatid.
"Basta hindi na ako bata noh?" Lalong sumimangot si Emerald, gusto nya dalaga na siya sa paningin ng kuya Vincent nya.
"Uu na, pero wag ka na nag aakyat sa mga puno,baka mahulog ka" ginulo ulit ni Vincent ang buhok ni Emerald bago bumaling kay yaya Lorie.
"Yaya si Kristina po?" Tanong nito sa nakangiting yaya ni Emerald.
"Bababa na yun anak, magpahinga lang Ng todo dahil may jetlag pa"
Naiinis na hindi malaman ni Emerald ang sarili sa salamin Ng kanyang kwarto, agad siya umakyat sa kanyang silid Ng makitang pababa Ng hagdan ang kapatid.
Gandang ganda siya sa kapatid sa suot nitong bestidang lilac na bumagay sa kanyang maputi at mala porselanang kutis.
Napatingin siya sa princess sized mirror na regalo sa kanya ng kanyang ama noong ika 15th bday nya mula sa business trip nito sa Egypt, hindi siya nasiyahan sa nakita. Liban sa matangos nyang ilong na namana nya sa yumaong ina at maninipis na Labi na natural ang pagkakapula at chinitang mata na namana nya sa ama ay wala na siyang nakikitang maganda sa sarili.
Dagdag pa ang maitim nyang balat na dala ng madalas na paliligo sa dagat na bahagi Ng kanilang hacienda at madalas nyang pangangabayo sa loob ng hacienda buensuceso. Kaya ba Parang kapatid lang turing Sakin ni Vincent? Dahil hindi ako lading ganda ng ate Sa loob loob nya.
Pero kahit mapansin pa siya ng lalaki boyfriend na ito ng nakatatandang kapatid.
Napabuntung hininga na lang si Emerald at inumpisahang kainin ang chocolate na bigay ng lalaki.
