Drache’s POV

We are at her room and I just finish taking a bath. Nakapagpalit narin ako ng damit dahil pinahiram ako ni Spare. Lumapit na ako sa kanila at umupo sa tabi niya.

“Here’s the alcohol. Pahiran mo yang braso’t kamay mo na hinawak mo sa kanya.” She said and throw the alcohol beside me as she crawl on her bed and sit far from me.

Kinuha ko yon at ginamit.

“Tell me this wasn’t a dream.” Kats said as he looked at Vens.

“Gusto mong suntok para matauhan ka?” Geenee said as she raised her hand and formed a punch.

“I was just joking Geen… Ito naman.” He said and chuckled but we all eyed to him seriously kaya naman sumeryoso rin ang mukha niya.

“I can’t believe that you really have twins. And… magkamukhang magkamukha talaga kayo.” Seth said looking at Vens.

“Will you please stop staring at me? Nakakaasiwa.” She said and averted our gaze.

“Vens, are you alright?” Craised asked her worriedly.

“Why would I not be alright? Yes I am. Much better as before…”

“I never thought that she’s here already. It was too early.” James said.

“It wasn’t… She’s just in time for our games.” She said and smirked.

“Aish! Sana sinabi niya man lang na ngayon siya darating. Edi sana nakapag-empake na ako.” Spare said as he rub his head.

“Don’t worry bro, Neil and I will help you.” James.

“Sa isang guest room ka nalang matulog Spare.” Vens said as she burrowed ner face on her knees.

“Are you tired?” I askedas I hold her. She looked at me and furrowed her brows.

“You sure you disinfect your hands?” She asked and I rub my head.

“HAHAHA… you really don’t want her to touch your boyfriend huh?” Pang-aasar ni Craise kaya natawa lahat maliban sakin na napapangiti nalang. Umiwas lang siya ng tingin but I seen her face turned red.

“Dito nalang ako matutulog.” Craised said as she lay down her bed.

“Ako rin. Itetext ko nalang si Kuya na hindi ako makakauwi ngayon.” Geen said as she lay beside Craise.

“Then I’ll stay here too.” Lester said.

“Oh, edi dito nalang tayong lahat matulog. Pajama partehhh!” Kats and Neil said as they fist to fist. Nagkakasundo talaga ang dalawang ito.

Haayy… I never expect that this day would turn like this. If Venisse twin is that girl, then meaning to say… she’s the one whom I seen last day who’s making out at the elevator. Pero bakit… bakit sa hotel nila Neil?

Vens’ POV

I wake up earlier as I saw the boys on the floor. Aish! Ang gulo lang nilang matulog. The girls are with me. Craise is on my right side and Geenee is on my left side at katabi niya si Mitch.

Dahan-dahan akong bumangon at pumunta sa banyo at naghilamos at nagsipilyo. Mamaya nalang ako maliligo dahil maaga pa naman.

Bumaba muna ako at iniwan muna sila. Nag-unat unat pa ako ng mga braso habang bumababa. Humikab pa ako at sa hindi sinasadyang pangyayari ay nakita ko siya na humihikab din at sabay kaming bumababa sa magkabilang hagdan. Hindi ko na sana siya papansinin at bababa nalang pero, huminto ako ng batiin niya ako.

“Good Morning!” She said smiling. I looked at her and smiled.

“Good Morning too!” I said and flash my sweetest smile and I left her there.

Sabi nila, kapag may kaaway ka, ngitian mo lang siya, because smiling is the best way to keep your enemy in state of insanity.

“Ya, ano pong agahan?” Tanong ko kay Yaya na kasalukuyang nasa kusina. Umupo lang ako sa dining at naghintay ng Hot Choco.

Maya-maya, dumating ang kapatid ko at umupo, kaharapan ko. Sakto ring dumating si Yaya at may dalang hot choco. Inilapag niya ito sa harap ko at nagpasalamat naman ako.

“Ya, patimpla naman ako ng gatas please.” She said at nakita ko nalang na umismid si Yaya at umalis. Hanggang ngayon, galit parin siya kay Yunee.

“Still hot choco is your favorite drink in the morning.” She said and the both of uf took the newspaper and read it.

“Yeah. And you still chose to drink milk…” I said as I flip the pages of the newspaper. Dumating naman si Yaya at ibinigay ang gatas niya.

“VENS ARE YO---” Nagulat nalang ako at napatingin kaming dalawa sa mga taong kasalukuyang nakatayo ngayon at nakanganga na nakatingin sa amin.

“Oh, gisingin na pala kayo.” I said as I ignore them and drink my choco.

“Umupo na kayo at kakain na tayo.” I said again and they all seat.

Patuloy lang akong nagbabasa habang humihigop ng hot choco habang hinihintay namin ang almusal. Napansin kong parang ang tahimik at parang may mga matang nakatingin sakin.

“What?” I asked and looked at them and soon looked at Yunee. Sabay pa kaming nagsalita. Hindi ko nalang pinansin yon at bumalik sa binabasa ko hanggang dumating na ang almusal namin at tahimik kaming kumain.

“Nga pala, Mom called me last night and she told me they will be here by the next day after tomorrow.” She said but we still eats and not looking at each other.

“Okay? What’s new?” I asked and looked at her.

“Aren’t you supposed to be happy because will be going to be a complete happy family again?” I almost laughed at her statement.

“Family? Really? Does still that term exist? For how many years na lagi silang umuuwi dito, ano pa bang bago don? And seriously? Happy? Your making me laugh. I’m happy without you all here.” I said and chuckled while I eat. I know it’s weird but… I think it was a joke.

“You’re bitter right? Having no one by your side is like planting trees and growing in the forest by yourself. Quiet yet sad.”

“It’s better to grow in a quiet and sad forest than to live with persons who know nothing but to ruin someone’s life. That’s more miserable than living alone. You’re living with someone but you still feel like more miserable with someone who’s living alone. Isn’t that bad?” I asked and smiled. I can now see piercing eyes but she just smiled.

“Atleast, for years I’ve grown with loving parents who cared for me always and check my condition. How ‘bout you Venee? Did Mom and Dad take care you when they got home?” Someone wants trouble here right? I can smellwar…

She wants war? I’ll give her war…
