After the family lunch out, I excused myself to get some money from the ATM. I rejoined them later in the parking area.
"Saan ka ba nanggaling?" the youngest asked.
"Nag-withdraw lang. Di mo ba narinig kanina?"
"Hindi na. Susundan sana kita akala ko magyoyosi ka, kaso nawala ka na agad. Hindi ko naman sila maiiwanan na walang ibang lalaking kasama, unless nandun ka."
My youngest brother is, after my dad, the alpha male of the brood. He knows most of who I am. The closest sibling. To have him regard me in that way speaks volumes.
Perhaps, to the eyes of some, I am more than what I give myself credit for.
