"I love you, but I need to seek justice for what they did to my twin. I want us both to be happy, but you'll be affected if I prioritize loving you."

I angrily turned off my alarm and was about to go back to sleep when suddenly someone knocked on my door.
I grumpily got out of bed and flung open the door, ready to yell at the annoying person knocking on the door.
when I opened the door, I immediately saw my brother smiling mischievously, so I quickly punched him in the arm, causing him to groan in pain.
deserve
"beh, masakit, beh" he pouted as he rubbed the spot where I punched him. "why do you keep knocking ba kasi!?" I asked irritably, katok kasi nang katok tapos pag nasaktan ngu-nguso na parang pato.
"abuelo asked me to wake you up because it's already time to eat." he scrached his head and smiled uncertainly at me. "vale"
I said, and immediately closed the door, then promptly went to the bathroom to do my morning routine.
after finishing my morning routine, I immediately went down to the kitchen to eat because I knew my siblings were getting impatient waiting for me, even though they didn't say anything.
"Buenos días, nietecita" abuelo greeted me with a smile.
"Buenos días a todos" I greeted them all with a small smile on my lips that made them all smile too.
I sat down beside my sister.
after sitting down, we said our prayers and peacefully ate.
abuelo broke the silence with a fake cough, making all of us look at him in curiosity.
"your abuela and I discussed about going back to the Philippines and continuing your studies at our university." abuelo said softly while looking at me seriously.
"besides, your mommies and friends also miss you. It's been two years since we left." everyone at the dining table is looking at me as if they're waiting for me to speak.
"if that's your decision, then fine, I don't have any other choice anyway."
when I turned 18, I came with my grandparents here to Spain hoping to continue my studies here because my abuela and abuelo are also alone here.
"Luna, we're leaving tomorrow." I just nodded.
kaya pala nandito ang mga kapatid ko.
let me introduce my older siblings.
Luke Arzen - the eldest among us siblings.
Clark Lucenzo - next to kuya Zen.
Cassandra Grizelle - the first daughter of our mommies.
Lina Celestine Crescent
Lana Celeste Hesperia
Leighton Zagreus Eryx
and, me
Luna Celestia Elkairo
yes, you guessed it right, we're quadruplets, the youngest is Zaira Selena and Zaria Eclipse, they are twins.
---FAST FORWARD---
I was using my cellphone while waiting for my siblings to come down so we could leave.
akala ko naman mabilis sila kumilos dahil sila ang unang natulog kagabe, inaasar pa nila ako na maiiwan daw ako ngayon dahil puyat ako ng puyat.
ayan, na karma tuloy sila.
I whispered to myself.
I looked towards the stairs upon hearing their footsteps coming down. Automatically, I smirked upon seeing their sleepy faces.
"good morning" they just nodded in response to me.
"ang aga mo naman gumising, beh" kuya Clark questioned me.
"sinong nag sabing natulog ako?" my response, in the form of a question, left all five of them stunned.
"Arzen, have you told your mommies that we're going home now?" I saw kuya stop walking and shake his head as he looked at abuela.
"let's just surprise them, abuela." ate Zelle said. abuela simply nodded in agreement to my sister's statement.
abuela has a cold personality like our mother, sometimes I think she's mommy because they not only share similar personalities but also similar facial features.
"Luna, date prisa."
"Viniendo!"
I stopped walking when I remembered something. "abuelo, is Alpha and Snow coming with us back to the Philippines?" Alpha and Snow is my Maine Coon pet, Alpha has a smoke colored fur while Snow has a white colored fur.
"yes, don't worry." they know I love cats and dogs, so I have many cats and dogs of different breeds, but only Alpha and Snow were brought to Spain; the others are already in the Philippines.
"Luna, I think Nala misses you." I smiled because of what she said.
Nala is my siamese cat.
I miss them.
bulong ko sa aking sarili sabay ngiti ng tipid.
---FAST FORWARD---
"Luna, wake up, we're here." ate Lana wokee up. I opened my eyes and she wasn't joking, we really are here, sorry trust issues.
"where are they?" I asked because I saw that only the two of us were left in the van we rode.
"nasa loob na sila hinihintay tayo, naroon na rin sila Alpha at Snow." malambing na sabi niya sa akin habang nasa ulo ko ang kanyang kamay.
"ge lods"
natawa siya ng mahina kaya natawa rin ako dahil sa sinabi ko. hindi nag tagal ay sabay na kaming pumasok sa loob para salubungin ang mga taong matagal ko ng hindi nakakasama.
"Luna, my baby, I missed you." naiiyak na sabi ni mama Cali sabay yakap sa'kin ng mahigpit. "mama, nag kita tayo last week bago niyo sunduin sila Zaria, hindi ba?" natatawa kong sabi dahilan para bumitaw siya sa pagkakayakap sa akin at sabay simangot.
nag lakad papalapit sa'min si mommy Mitena, pagkalapit na pagkalapit niya ay tinabig niya kaagad si mama sabay yakap sa'kin at halik sa aking pisngi at noo.
this is the reason why I love my mommy Mitena so much, even though her personality is cold.
"I love you" malamig pero malambing niyang sabi. "I love you too, mom." pabalik kong sabi sakanya dahilan para mapangiti siya.
"aray ha!" rinig kong daing ni mama sa gilid ko kaya agad akong napatingin sakanya. ay oo nga pala, tinabig siya ni mommy kanina.
lumapit ako sakanya sabay halik sa kanyang pisngi at yumakap ng mahigpit. "I love you too, mama."
"S' agapó, kóri mou."
