“We hate the fact that we can't stop you from leaving again. I will miss you, mom and dad.”

A gloomy tone could be heard in Sophie's voice as she hugged her parents but she still managed to crack a smile as she pulled away from their warm embrace.

“Don't worry honey, we will promise to come back as soon as we finish everything.”

The man assured her before shifting his gaze to his elder daughter who was standing quietly in front of them.

“Charlie,” wika ng ama. "You have been quiet for a while, honey. Is everything alright?"

Bakas ang pag-aalala sa tono ng boses nito as he motioned his elder daughter Charlie to join them when he noticed the girl seemed to be out of place.

Charlie smiles softly causing her deep holes to appeared on her cheeks bago sya tuluyang lumapit sa ama.

"Darling, please watch over your sister while we're gone, okay?” malumanay na bilin naman ng ina.

Charlie smiles once again before she nods her head a bit. "Opo, I'll take care of Sophie," came out her very soft response.

Charlie's an introvert. She rarely speak and doesn't talk that much, but once she does it was soft and alluring for someone who's not used to hearing her voice.

"Just tell us kung matigas ulo nyan sayo ha? Kami nang bahala," saad ng ama nila na medyo natawa pa sa sinabi nya.

Bahagya namang napabalikwas ng tingin si Charlie sa kapatid na ngayo'y kunot-noong nakatayo sa tabi ng kanilang ama.

She snickered beneath her breath at kaagad din naman nyang inalis ang tingin nya dito.

Well, the fact that she and Sophie aren't that close to each other yet, walang ibang choice si Charlie kundi sundin ang bilin ng mga ito sa kanya, and since willing naman syang makipagkilala pa rito, she's ready to swallow her pride and do the nerve to communicate with her sister.

"And you little lady, don't be too much of a pain in the ass. You can count on your sister habang wala kami ng daddy mo" bilin pa ng ina nito sa nakababata.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm not a little lady anymore. I can handle myself anyways." Sophie answers confidently.

"Oh, baby. I know, but you have to let Charlie take care of you while we're not around, honey. Be humble just this time for goodness sake, alright?"

Hindi sya kaagad nakasagot while glancing ocassionally at Charlie. She then drag a deep sighs before she finally answer.

"Yes, mom." The words that only let out from her mouth habang sumusulyap-sulyap pa rin sa kapatid and for unknown reason, bigla nalang syang napalunok-laway.

"That's great to hear then. Aasahan namin ng dad mo yan." nakangiting sabi naman ng ina.

"Tsk," Sophie mumbled. "I have no other choice anyways."

Charlie and Sophie exchanged glances ar each other as the surroundings filled with silence for a moment. Agad rin na umiwas ng tingin si Sophie sa kanya at muling napalunok ng laway nang makasalisi ito ng kakaibang ngiti sa mga labi ng kapatid.

Few hours had past.

Charlie was peacefully sitting on the sofa while watching television when she heard a sudden rang of a phone coming from somewhere near her.
