“Unnie? Are you just coming home?”Carly asked going through a child’s novel on the bed.
“Yeah” Samantha replied as she removed her jacket.
“Where were you?” Carly asked now turning to look at her.
“Huh? Uhmm, I was with my friends… Elle and Malia, Why?”
“Since when?”
“Hey! Why do you keep asking unnecessary and stupid question?”
“How is that a stupid question, I was just curious that’s all”
“Your curiosity is already getting annoying”
“Well, The friends you said, you were with, Elle and Malia,They came over to check on you this evening .. Liar! You keep making me curious! Where were you? Where’s dad?”
“Hey! Do you want to get beaten?! Don’t ever ask me questions anymore! or else you wanna die”
“Do you want me to tell mum–
“Oh yeah, Sure… Do tell her, She’d always nagged me ever since so hearing her nag after your stupid report won’t really take anything off me or put anything on me, So tell her! and after that, Mind your business!”
Carly blinked her eyes and sighed deeply.
“Unnie, I’m sorry… I just…Let’s not argue, We are’nt age mates… You are much older than me… I’m really sorry, Let’s not say any more thing and forget about it, huh? What do you think?”
Samantha smiled. “Now, You are talking…. I’m already tired so let’s just stop… It’s okay now”
“Thank goodness, I was just being too over sensitive, Well… Have you eaten?”
“Not yet, Did you guys prepare–
“No, We didn’t prepare anything” Carly interrupted swiftly
“What? What’s with the rush… Well, If you say so…I’m going to bed now”
“Unnie, wait… Aren’t you still hungry?”
“Yeah… But what am I going to do? Don’t expect me to cook cause I’m tired”
“You are hungry but tired to cook? What kind of laziness is that? You are funny, unnie” Carly laughed
“But unnie… Since, You are hungry… You can just take a few drinks to calm yourself right?”
“Drinks? Beer or Milkshake?”
“It’s beer”
“Hey, You know how drunk I get when I take beer”
“It’s okay… If you don’t like it, I’m gonna add water” Carly smiled. Samantha laughed and stood from the bed. She walked to the chair and sat down.
“So? Where’s it? I feel like taking beer, you clearly read my mind but by the way, Who bought it?”
“Huh? Uhhmmmm, It’s Unnie, Elle brought it when she was coming over”
“Why?”
“I’m not sure, Maybe you can ask her tomorrow” Samantha smiled.
“Well… That’s if you remember” Carly whispered and chuckled softly.
She went to her cupboard, opened it and brought out two bottles of beer.
“Two? Wow… But isn’t it too much?” Samantha asked
“Malia bought the other one” Carly replied
“Oh… I see, Bring it over here” Samantha smiled as she brought out a small clean glass cup from her table locker.
*********************
Carly smiled watching her sister drink. Samantha was already d@mn drunk. She kept doing childish things and making weird noises.
“She’s really drunk… Can’t believe she actually drank them all…. I need to know if she’s really drunk” Carly whispered thinking hard as she bit her finger nail.
“Oh… Unnie!” She called
“What?” Samantha laughed sticking her tongue inside the beer bottle due to drunkness.
Carly smiled, She knew her sister’s weaknesses. Anytime, She was drunk. She always said the truth and nothing else but the truth. It was part of her drunk habits. The worst thing was that, After everything and the next day comes, She’s going to forget about it till someone makes her remember by saying the particular thing she said or did at that state. Carly decided to check if she was really drunk by asking her a question, If she answers truthfully, Then… Y’all know what it means.
“Ermm… Unnie, Huh? Are you crushing on someone?”
“Yes” Samantha replied quickly with a smile
“Huh? Really? Are you serious right now?” She was surprised
“Is she really drunk or what?” Carly thought staring at her.
“Unnie, Who’s he?”
“Blaze,…A really handsome looking guy, The ultimate drummer of SB² normally called Sky Boys Band, He’s also Malia’s cousin–
“Okay… Okay… Okay… Enough with the talks…Let’s get down to business…. Unnie, Tell me what really happened to Dad”
There was a long period of silence before Samantha gave a baffling response.
“No, I can’t tell you that” Samantha smiled pulling her hair to her face.
“What? Why?… Why not?”
“It’s a secret, Secrets aren’t made to be shared or am I wrong?” Samantha chuckled irritably.
“Why isn’t it working?” Carly thought as she bit her lips. Her eyes moved to Samantha’s phone. “Plan B” She whispered.
“Unnie, Can I have your phone?” Carly asked stretching her hand
“Yeah…. Sure, Have it, Do you wanna play games?” Samantha asked
“No, I wanna check something that is really bothering me… Unnie, There’s a password, What’s it?”
“My Phone Password… Is… Uh, “Loves”…Isn’t it cute, I changed it today”
“……It worked! Wow,, But, What was your previous Password?”
“….Tomboy, It’s a little cute huh?”
“None is really cute, Tomboy…. Loves, Nah… None!”
“To me, It’s cute… It’s like asking… What happens when a Tomboy loves? When a Tomboy loves…. What’s next?” Carly asked biting her lips sadly as she inhaled deeply.
“Sssh… Unnie, I’m video calling someone” Carly whispered
“Who?”
“Just someone,….Someone I’m really bothered about” Carly replied with a smile on her face.
