Kinagabihan sa Dela Cruz Residence,
Kasamang umuwi nila Kelly at Kevin yung kambal ayaw pa ngang pumasok nila Flin at Nick dahil nahihiya sila kila Kian.
"Kuya, don't worry they don't bite."
"Kelly naman!" Sambit ni Kevin.
"Eh kasi naman kuya..."
"Anong ginagawa nyo diyan? Pasok na kakain na." Ani Kian na nag bukas ng pintuan.
"Ku-- Kuya..." Ang kinakabahang sambit nila Kelly at Kevin at nagulat rin naman sila Flin at Nick sa pag labas nga nitong si Kian.
"Sumunod na kayo lalamig ang pagkain." Sabi ni Kian na nauna ng pumasok.
"O-- Oo kuya." Ani Kelly.
"Let's go mga tol!" Sambit ni Kevin.
"Do you think it's okay to come and join you guys?" Sabi ni Flin.
"Yeah. After all were outsider." Ani Nick.
Inakbayan naman at pumagitna si Kelly dun sa kambal at sinabing "don't worry mga kuy's akong bahala."
"Really?" Ang ninenerbyos na sambit nung kambal.
"Of course! You guys don't believe me?"
"We do babysis, we do of course!" Anila.
"Good! Kaya tara na pumasok na tayo."
Pero bago pumasok ang mag kakapatid may sinabi si Kevin kay Kelly...
"Ha? Pinupunta mo si Patrick fito kuya?"
"Oo remember kanina nung hiniram ko ang cellphone mo para makitext dun sa colleagues ko. Naisip ko na i-chat si Patrick using your account kunwari ako ikaw."
"Anak ng!"
"Sorry na bunso, kala ko kasi good idea yun, hindi ba?"
"Is there something wrong?" Ani Flin.
Kelly sighed "wala na andito na rin naman tayo go na. Tara pumasok na tayo."
Nauna na ngang pumasok si Kelly at kasunod nya na yung tatlo pa nyang kuya na nag bubulungan.
"What? Patrick is here too?" Pagulat na sambit ni Nick.
"Yes bro, and I don't think good idea yung ginawa kong pag invite sa kaniya."
"It's okay, as long as were in a good side and Kelly's side everything will be alright." Opinyon naman ni Flin.
At pag labas nga nung apat sa likod nakita nilang masaya namang nag uusap usap ang ibang kuya ni Kelly together with Patrick.
"Oh bunso! Halina kayo at kumain." Bungad ni Rica.
"Saktong sakto ang dating nyo luto na ang lahat ng favorite mo." Sabi naman ni Faith.
"Salamat mga ate." Sagot naman ni Kelly na bineso beso ang mga hipag nya.
"Dito ka babygirl tabi kayo ni Patrick." Ani Leny na umusod para magkaroon ng space for Kelly.
At naupo na nga si Kelly doon sa tabi ni Patrick at nginitian sya nito at ganoon rin naman sya. Tapos nag winked naman sya sa mga kuya niyang sila Kian, Keith at Kim.
"Oh? Kevin, ano? Tatayo nalang kayo?" Sabi ni Kim.
"Ah, o--oo kuya eto na... Mga kuy's let's have a seat."
"Okay." Sabi naman nung kambal.
"Jacob, lead the prayer."
"Opo daddy."
Pinangunahan nga ni Jacob ang pag darasal at nakidasal rin naman itong si Kelly at sinabing.
"And Lord, sana po magka ayos -ayos na po ang mga kuya ko. Kasi nalulungkot po akong makitang nag aaway away sila dahil lang sakin. Okay naman po ako sa mga desisyon nila sa life. Kaya po Lord, sana they make peace na. Thankyou po always and I love you. Amen."
Matapos naman ang pag darasal parang naging poker face lang ang mga kuya ni Kelly na para bang walang narinig.
"Ahem! Let's dig in? Kain na po tayo!" Ang energetic na sambit ni Jacob na kinulbit ng mommy Rica nya para mabasag ang awkward atmosphere.
"Yeah! Kain na kain, lalamig pa ang pagkain." Pag second demotion naman ni Rica.
"Oo nga kain na!" Sabi ni Faith na nilagyan pa ng barbecue si Keith at bumulong "mag salita ka diyan ang tahimik ng surroundings!"
"Ha? Ba-- Bakit ako? Kumain ka na nga lang!"
"Tsss! Coward!"
At nag simula na ngang kumain ang lahat kahit medyo awkward ang atmosphere.
"Bakit nag punta ka dito? Anong pinag uusapan nyo nila kuya kanina?" Pabulong na sambit ni Kelly kay Patrick.
"Ha? You're the one who invited me here you don't remember? Nag chat ka kanina."
"Ay, oo nga pala si kuya Kevin yon di ako."
"Ha? Di ko gets."
"I will explain later."
"Oh... Okay, pero sa tingin ko good move yung ganitong kakain ng sabay-sabay para tayong nag pi-picnic kasi sa banana leaves tayo kumakain with our barehands."
"Hayssss... Umandar na naman yang pagka "richkid" mo normal nalang ang ganito samin. Isa pa masarap talagang kumain kapag naka kamay. Tsaka wag kang mag kamay kung di mo naman kaya. Jusme! Nag kakalat ka lang."
"Sorry, it's been a while since I eat with my barehand eh."
"Hayssss! Halika, mag hinaw ka ng kamay kukuha ako ng fork and spoon mukhang pati sila kuya Flin at kuya Nick nahihirapan."
At napatingin nga si Patrick dun sa kambal na nahihirapan ngang kumain ng naka kamay.
"Where are you going Kelly?" Ani Kian at patayo na sana rin noon si Patrick pero di na natuloy cause Kelly forced him to sit back.
"Ah, kukuha lang ng kutsara at tinidor kuya."
"Ako na kukuha babygirl." Sabi ni Leny.
"No ate, ako na kumain ka lang diyan may nahihirapan kasing mag kamay eh."
"Ah..."
At umalis na nga si Kelly para kumuha ng fork and spoon sa kusina. Napatingin naman ang mga ito dun sa kambal at nag kunwari naman agad si Patrick na magaling sya mag kamay.
"Isa ka rin dun sa sinasabi nya wag ka ng ano diyan." Sambit ni Kim.
"So-- Sorry po Sir."
"Aissshhhh! Mga rich kid na ito. Keith, teach them."
"Ako?"
"May iba pa bang Keith dine?"
"Wa-- Wala."
"Just do it okay?"
"Um."
At nag simula na ngang maging hyper nitong si Keith tinuruan nya pa ngang isa-isa sila Patrick at yung kambal.
"Oh... That's how you do it." Ang manghang-mangja na sambitni Flin at Nick.
"Hindi ba kayo tinuruan ni mom? I mean mom, ain't..."
"We understand bro, but it's not mom it's us we couldn't learn it." Ani Flin.
"We always on a hurry due to our works and other errands so we couldn't even eat together with mom." Sabi pa ni Nick.
"So mom always eat alone?" Ani Kelly.
"Bunso, kasama din nila ay... iba nga palang bahay sila Auntie Glen." Sambit ni Keith.
"Actually, we hired someone to take care of mom when we're not at home. But mom said, "no, I'm fine with Jinggy." Jinggy is our malamute husky dog that we buy after dad passed away." Sambit ni Flin.
"Our dad is a dog lover that's why we have a dog in the house. But after he diagnosed to a cancer our dog Jinggy same name to our new dog. Jinggy got sick too everyday, his health getting worse liked dad. Then one day, before dad passed away Jinggy become clingy to dad after that day... When we woke up, we saw mom crying then we saw dad and Jinggy, they like sleeping but no pulse anymore. That's why Flin and I decided that we need a new dog for us especially for mom."
"Sorry for your loss bro." Ani Keith.
"Dog is really a man best friend.(boohooo) I want to have a dog too like Jinggy. (boohooo)" Sambit ni Kelly na umiiyak na dahil sa kwento nung kambal.
"Are you crying?" Ani Patrick.
"I just felt sorry for Jinggy and to uncle eh. How I wish I saw them too." At umiyak na nga ng umiyak itong si Kelly.
"Do-- Don't cry babysis we told mom that Jinggy will go with her." Ang kalmadong sambit ni Flin para tumahan na itong si Kelly.
"Really? But how about youvand kuya Nick? You'll gonna miss Jinggy."
"It's okay, if we have Jinggy we couldn't take good care of him due to our works. Most importantly, our new Jinggy ain't eat without mom." Sagot ni Nick.
"Yeah. Cause mom always with him. Jinggy is a picky eater too he is like a human not a dog sometimes. I think mom is a good trainer."
"Wow! I want to see Jinggy rin po." Sabi naman ni Jacob.
"I'm pretty sure that Jinggy will love to see all of you." Sagot ni Flin.
"Did you tell mom that you guys are planning to go back in Canada after she arrive?"
"Kim!" Sambit ni Kian.
"Pero kuya, gusto ko lang ding malaman kung pati kay mama nag sinungaling rin sila."
"Kuya, nasa harap tayo ng pagkain wag naman sana kayong mag away." Sabi ni Kelly.
"Pero bunso, I just want to know! Masama ba yon? Sabi mo nga wrre family here."
"Pero kuya..."
"No! We didn't tell mom but Flin and I knows that mom will be happy if she's staying here in the Philippines without us."
"What? Without the two of you? No way!" Kelly said.
"Ahm... Babysis let me explain."
"No kuya, I accept the fact the you two are going back to where are you came from. But if you are telling us that "without" you two mom will be happy. I think, this long night will be end anytime soon. I know I'm the youngest but come on, kuya... this can't be! I want you guys to settle everything but if mom happiness is involved without you two? I'm outta here. Patrick, Jacob, let's go."
"Kelly!" Pahabol na sambit ning kambal na susundan sana si Kelly pero pinigilan sila ni Kevin at Keith.
"We need to talk mga kuy's." Anila.
Samantala,
Sumunod naman sila Patrick at Jacob kay Kelly papuntang room nito.
"Ahhhhh!!! Nakakabwiset!!!" Pagalit na sambit ni Kelly habang nakahiga sa kama nya at nag susumigaw habang may takip na unan.
"Ayos lang ba ang tita Kelly mo?"
"Normal lang po yan kapag meron syang period. Masasanay rin po kayo."
"Ah, yes... I remember nag alarm yung phone ko about that."
"Eh? May schedule po kayo ng period ni tita Kelly?"
"Aha, mahirap na moody kasi yang tita Kelly mo. Nakita mo kanina happy sya pag dating nila tas nung nag kwento na sila kuya Flin at kuya Nick umiyak tapos ayan ngayon galit na."
"Hmm?"
Binato naman ng unan ni Kelly itong si Patrick.
"Heh! Normal lang yung naging emosyon ko this time! Dami mong sinasabi diyan."
"Tito Patrick, ayos lang po ba kayo?"
"I think so..." At tinulungan naman syang tumayo ni Jacob.
"Ang sabi ko pag aayusin ko sila kuya tapos ganyan? Siguradong may di pa nakukwento yang si kuya Kevin eh. Lahat talaga sila mga sinungaling!"
Naupo naman sa sofa yung mag tito dahil pakiramdam nila hindi sila dapat lumapit kay Kelly at baka mabato pa sila ng unan ulit.
"I don't think alam nila kuya Kevin ang sinabi nung kambal about sa balak nilang di pagbalik dito sa Pinas."
"Tsss! Porket ba okay ka na kila kuya kakampihan mo na sila?"
"Hindi naman sa kinakampihan mo sila dahil sakin lang naman nila sinabi yung plano nila."
"Hmmm? What do you mean? Jacob, come here. Hayaan mong i-depend ng attorney na yan ang side nung twins."
"O-- Opo."
"Attorney? Ako? Kailan pa?"
"Just do it okay!"
Sa isip-isip ni Patrick "nasa hearing ba kami? Kailan pa sya naging judge? Sabagay, napaka judgemental naman talaga nya pwede nga syang maging judge."
"Ano na?!"
"O-- Oo eto na nga po your honor."
Then he thought "napaka unpredictable talaga ng mga babae. Sighhhh..."
At the same time doon sa likod,
Tapos na magsikain ang lahat at yung mag hihipag ang nag ayos ng hapag na pinakainan nila roon sa likod samanatalang ang mga kuya ni Kelly ay nag punta sa kubo at doon nag uusap usap.
"Sa tingin nyo magkakaayos sila?" Tanong ni Leny kila Rica at Faith na nag iimis din ng lamesa.
"Don't worry magiging okay rin ang mga yan. Pare-parehas naman ang mag kakapatid na yan." Sambit ni Rica.
"Um. Tsaka, di rin naman nila matitiis rin kasi ang isa't isa weakness nila yun eh." Opinyon ni Faith na nag sisimula na ring mag ligpit ng mga nagamit na pinggan kahit banana leaves ang plato na gamit nila.
"Si Kelly ang inaalala ko eh, napaka sensitive nya kasi." Ani Leny.
"I know, but she's grown up now and I'm pretty she'll understand their situation." Opinyon ni Rica.
"Correct!" Pag sangayon naman ni Faith.
At sa kubo naman,
May tig iisang beer ang mag kakapatid habang nag uusap usap.
"If that's the case, I think Kelly will understand. Pero dapat kasi sinabihan nyo rin kami para naman una palang di natin na misunderstood ang isa't isa." Sambit ni Keith.
"Sorry bro." Ani Flin.
"No we're the one need to say sorry atvthe first place. We misinterpret everything." Sabi ni Kim.
"Um. And we would like to say thankyou for everything that you guys did for us and for mom." Sabi naman ni Kevin.
"But we can't accept the beach and the restaurant na sinasabi nyo na para samin. Pinaghirapan nyo ang lahat ng yon hindi nyo kailangang ibigay samin yon." Sambit ni Kian.
"No, everything that we owned are now in your hands guys. That's our gift for accepting us being your big brother." Ani Flin.
"And don't worry about us, Canada is our place and Philippines is your home guys." Dagdag pa ni Nick.
"Bakit kasi di nalang kayo dito sa Pinas bahay nyo rin naman ito cause we're siblings and our mom is your mom too." Sambit ni Kim.
"I know, but we need to settle everything in Canada first then we will visit here again as we promise. Right Nick?"
"Um. We will fulfill our promise after we get our dual citizenship."
"Bakit kasi Canadian citizenship lang kayo eh filipina naman ang nanay natin."
"Kelly!!!" Anila.
Pag punta ng kubo si Kelly at nag siusod naman ang mga kuya nya at naupo sya sa gitna.
"Nasabi na ni Patrick sakin lahat and..."
"And????"
"And I understand what kuya Flin and kuya Nick wants. Pero mga kuy's sobra naman yung bibigyan nyo kami ng resort at restaurant."
"Yun nga rin ang sabi namin bunso pero sila kuya Flin kasi..." Sabi ni Kevin.
"It's normal guys were your eldest brothers and we would like to give a gift cause you know this is our chance to make up with you our brothers and sister."Ani Flin.
"Aha, because we love you." Dagdag pa ni Nick.
"Mahal rin naman namin kayo mga kuy's pero sobra talaga yun. Ang magka sama-sama tayo it's enough for us. Right mga kuy's?"
"Definitely!" Anila maliban sa twins.
"Okay, okay... Treat that restaurant and resort us our siblings businesses, for everyone peace of mind. It's that alright?" Sabi ni Nick.
"Yeahhhh!!!"
The twins sighed and said "at last everything is settled."
