Chap.3 Secret

※Narrator's POV※

After America's family left, Martiala didn't tell anything about what she had heard yet. America kept many secrets from the twins and anyone else around him.

Some time or should I say years later...

"Oi! Martia! Ang bilis mo namang tumakbo." Phia said panting for air.

[T: Hey! Martia! Your so fast."

"At ikaw naman mabagal." Martiala said.

[T: And your very slow.]

The twins were in training. America taught them how to defend themselves and how to lead a country.

Soon, America will give them independence ones the right time comes.

"Alright girls, don't fight were about to finish anyway." America said.

"Yes, finally." Phia said.

"Seriously we ran for just 3 miles." Martiala said.

"Alam mo naman mahirap sa akin ang mga ganito." Phia said.

[T: You know that this is very hard for me.]

"Okay, we'll do this again next week." America said and the twins agreed.

Phia and Martiala aren't really alike.
Martiala likes combat, and military stuff. While Phia likes learning about history, independence, and some country stuff.

The twins went to their room and showered. They've been training for more than half a day, so of course they're tired. After they showered and dried their hair using a towel. Phia jumped on her bed and fell asleep.

※Martiala's POV※

Wow, can't believe my twin isn't that good at things like training. She's really working hard to serve and lead her soon to be leading country.

I'm only good at defending it from invaders like my adoptive father. I couldn't tell Phia about it yet but I will soon enough.

"Martiala why are you always so quite?" Phia asked.

I thought she was asleep?

It's true I have been very quiet ever since I found about the thing. Me and Phia had loved kuya and papa so much. Papa protected us, feed us, loved us. But... America had to ruin my family.

"Martiala ever since we got here your so silent. What are you hiding from me?" Phia asked.

I just stood there saying nothing, until she sighed.

"Akalo wala tayong mga secretong itatago sa isat-isa? Magkapatid tayo. Martia, sabihin mo anong nangyari." She said and I sighed sitting next to her.

[T: I thought we weren't gonna hide secrets from each other? We're siblings. Martia, tell me what's going on.]

"Ok fine, sasabihin ko pero hindi ako magtatagalog or magenglish." I said and she agreed.

[T: Ok fine, I'll tell you but I'm not gonna speak Tagalog or English.]

I always get the feeling that America is watching us so I'm gonna speak a language he won't understand Bisaya or Cebuano. We don't speak this language around him that much.
