OUR BATTLE

SIMULA

PROLOGUE

"Pag ikaw ay masaya pumadyak ka,"

The twins stamped their feets, "Padyak,"

"Pag ikaw ay masaya pumadyak ka,"

"Padyak!"

"Pag ikaw ay masaya dibdib ay sisigla, pag ikaw ay masaya pumadyak ka."

"Padyak!"

Umalingaw ngaw sa loob ng condo ko ang boses ni Alexa, I was currently cooking our lunch here in the kitchen while their are singing their lungs out in the living room with the twins.

Kakatapos palang namin mag simba kaya dito ko na sila dinala para magtanghalian. I smiled and sighed. The aroma of menudo and sinigang that I cooked filled my nose.

"Wow ang bango ah," Alex exclaimed.

Narinig ko ang yapak nilang papalapit dito sa kusina.

"The lunch is ready na,"

"Yes! I'm supper hungry na Nini." Ezra chanted, I chuckled.

Tinulungan akong naghain ni Alex, May cake at ice cream pa naman kaming binili kanina kaya yun nalang ang desserts mamaya.

"Where's your twin Ezra?" She pouted.

"Ate's with her book again Nini,"

"Tawagan mo na at ng makakain na ako Bhi, gutom nako Uo." Ezra Lazily walked towards the living room. Narinig pa naman itong tinatawag ang kakambal niya.

Alex giggled, "kaya ito gusto ko pagsina sama niyo ako Niña, palagi akong busog." Napailing nalang ako.

Sinasabi ko nanga ba, pagkain lang ang habol nito sakin.

"Pagkatapos nito ihatid natin ang kambal sa bahay tsaka tayo dumiretso Kela Mira." Tumango siya.

"Oo nag chat din si Rizal at Jasmin kanina na pupunta sila." I nodded, that's good then. But wait.....

"Jasmin?"

"Oo umuwi siya kahapon, pero babalik din naman ulit sa Canada." Malungkot niyang saad. Isang taon nadin nasa Canada ang babaeng yun at doon nagpatuloy ng pag-aaral. At sila Mira naman....

We haven't seen each others for more than 2 weeks now. Busy sa academics, minsan si Alex lang kasama ko kasi palagi naman siyang free.

Dumating ang kambal kaya nag simula na kaming kumain, but before we ate nag pray muna kami.

"Wow your cooking is so good like daddy Ate." Savvy praised.

"Yes, ba't hindi ka nalang mag chef gaya ng tatay Mo?" Umiling ako.

Everyone always said that I should follow my dad's path. Umiiling nalang ako, i want to be just like what I wanted. I want to follow my mother's path.

"Not my thing,"

"True, Nini will be a great doctor someday ate Alex. And you'd be a teacher right?" Alex nodded.

"Tama ka bhi, ikaw ano gusto mo paglaki mo?"

Tumigil saglit si Ezra at nilagay ang hintuturo sa chin niya na kunwaring nag-iisip.

"Hmm, I want to be a florist just like mommy!" She exclaimed. "And ate Savvy want to be like daddy ate Alex, so we don't have a problem if Nini won't become a chef. kasi May isa pa tayong chef here of." She pointed her twin.

The lunch continued. The twins were talking and Alex was nodding on what ever their talking about. Halata namang hindi nakikinig at tutok sa pagkain. Ako rin naman ah?
