●Phia's POV●

I got out of the car and headed into my home. As I was about to twist the doorknob, I noticed that the door changed.

"Huh... I wonder what happened? Eh, whatever." I shrugged.

I twist the knob and pushed the door open.

"Hey I'm back~" I spoke. Hoping for a respond, Martial ran to me looking traumatized.

"Thank God you're back!" She yelled holding onto my blouse.

Confused of how or why my twin is acting this way, I turned to the living room seeing my brother talking about things not even realizing that no one is listening to him.

"What happened here?" I ask.

"He kept talking and talking. I can't take it anymore!" Martial tightened her grip and shook me.

I pat her back and went to the living room.

"Hi kuya!! anyare?" I ask with a wide smile. He then stops talking and looks at me like i just arrived from going missing after 10 years or something.

He greeted me, sweetly and asked me about my trip.

●Martiala's POV●

For once, It was a quiet and peaceful morning.

"Let's see who'll ruin my morning today. Hooray!" I mumbled. Note the sarcasm.

"Magandang umaga binibini Martial!" Greeted the kids on their way to the rice fields.

"Magandang umaga." I greeted back.

Apparently, it was around 4:20 in the morning. I was already aware of what they do this early.

Since my twin was asleep, I decided to check out the fields. It was a long walk but I'd take the risk.

Of course, I left a note to Phia so she wouldn't go paranoid questioning where I might be.

I stroll within the roadside. The sun was still not up. The air was cold yet fresh.

"MoOoo!" "Excuse me ate!" A kid excused herself. She rode a cow which was used for the fields.

I sigh to the view of the rice crops. Farmers were all ready to harvest.

This gives so much nostalgia...

"Martial?" A lady asked. I turned my sight to the old lady behind me.

"Nakalimutan mo naba Martial? Hay... ang laki mo na!" Said the old lady.

[T: Did you forget, Martial? Hay... your so big now!]

"Ahaha... paumanhin po lola... pero sino ho kayo?" I ask. She laughed onto my question.

[T:Excuse me ma'am... but who are you?]

"Ahahaha... iha ako to si Maria kaibigan ng nanay mo." She introduced. My eyes widened. I couldn't recognize her at all.
