With A Vengeance

Bruno couldn't continue his sleep due to the loud sound created by the heavy rainfall outside. Displeased he was, he got up his bed and closed the windows. He went back to his bed only to find out the alarm now going off. He irritatedly reached for the alarm to shut it off and remained seated for a while on the side of his bed with his eyes closed. With the sound of the rain outside grew stronger, Bruno opened his eyes, glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and realized that it is already ten minutes later than his usual wake-up time. He then got up from bed, grabbed his towel and made his way to the bathroom. After taking a bath, his mother showed up.

"Hiniram ng kapatid mo yung payong mo." His mom told him.

"Ha! Anong gagamitin ko!?" He replied in an annoyed tone.

"Manghiram ka na lang sa tita mo." His mom replied.

Furious he was, he asked their katulong to go to his Tita to borrow an umbrella. Luckily, he was able to borrow one.

He then opened the refrigerator to get his milk and prepared some breakfast but he was halted by what he saw on the chiller - two pieces of Toblerone* Chocolates. He knew it belongs to his sister so he grabbed it right away and slid it immediately inside his lunch bag.

Later that day, he went back home from work and saw his sister burning with anger.

"'Bat mo kinuha yung Toblerone* ko!" His sister threw the words right at his face but Bruno calmly replied,

"Ngayon alam mo na ang pakiramdam ko nung kinuha mo ang payong ko!"
