"Opo." sagot ni Celeste.
Maling desisyon ata 'to.
Tumingin lang ito saakin.
"Hon, stop scaring the kid." suway ni Tita Neoma.
He chuckled. "It's just a joke, don't be scared of me. And of course Celeste can go with you.." saad ng Papa nila.
I sighed in relief.
".. After all, you're her future so called Sister In-law." dagdag pa nito.
May pinagmanahan naman pala.
They laughed, then offered me his hand.
"I'm Jesse Rodriguez, Neoma's husband and Callisto and Celeste's Father... And you are?"
I accepted his hand. "I'm Hallie Sordello po, nice to meet you."
"You can call me Tito Jesse. Napaka bait na bata nga naman. Nice choice, Callisto." he said while looking at him.
"Dad. Stop that, 'di bagay sayo mang asar." Saad ni Callisto sa tatay.
"Mag-aayos lang ako ng gamit. Mom, please take care of my Sister In-law." pang aasar pa nito.
Tangina mo Celeste, kapag ako talaga gumanti sa'yo.
Si Callisto ay lumabas muna. Umupo si Tita Neoma sa tabi ko.
"I heard from your Lola that you're staying with her? And that you're in the same university as my children?" tanong ni Tita Neoma saakin.
"Yes po." sagot ko.
She gave me a warm smile. "Lovely. I hope you'll get along with Celeste."
"I already am close to her, Tita."
"That's good, 'di na din naman ako magugulat. Sakanilang dalawa, si Celeste talaga ang mas friendly."
"Ay opo, halata naman po." I chuckled at my own statement.
Hinawakan niya ang kamay kong nakalapat sa aking mga binti. "So is Callisto. He might look cold and snobbish but he's really kind, he just dislike people that is straight up rude and leaves without any notice."
"Ah, siguro by experience po?"
"Yes. Long story. Anyway, did you know that you're the first girl that got to step into our house?"
"P-po? 'Di ko po alam, inoffer po kase ni Celeste na isama muna ako dito sainyo." I explained.
"I'm shocked that he agreed. Almost all of Celeste’s friend didn't get to our house."
My jaw dropped a bit. "Really? Why po?"
"Because, he loves his sister. So much. He's also very protective of her. Like I said, he's a sweetheart. He can't stand seeing Celeste cry or get sad. One time, Celeste almost cried because Callisto didn't allow her to put make up on his face. But since he saw her twin's teary eyes, he gave in and let her do what she wants. When we saw it, we were very shock. They might look like a chaotic twins who doesn't like each other very much, but there's more into it." Kwento pa ng mama nila sa akin.
We chuckled. 'Di kapani-paniwala.
Nagkwentuhan pa kami hanggang makababa na si Celeste.
