Trevour's POV

Malalakas na katok ang gumising sa akin. Nagawi ang aking tingin sa mechanical clock na nakapatong sa bedside table ni Kuya. 'Aish 8:16 A.M. pa lang naman pala'

"Trev! Nakahain na ga ang breakfast eh. Are't katagal mung bumangown." katok muli ni Ate Jolina. Napa upo ako sa kama't nag unat ng katawan. Kadalasan naman talaga akong magising ng mas maaga sa alas otso. Pero napuyat ako sa mga pinaggagawa ko kagabi.

Pumasok agad sa isip ko si Kuya. 'Oo, si Kuya? Asan na yun?' Nakagawian na nong gisingin ako kapag magkatabi kaming matulog. Mas lalo tuloy umusbong ang kaba at takot sakin na baka alam nito ang ginawa ko at kinamumuhian na ako kaya 'di man lang sumagi sa isip nito na gisingin ako para sabayan siyang bumaba.

"Wait lang Ate! Mauna ka na, I'll be there in a minute!" sigaw ko dito, still groggy from my morning slumber, sandali akong nagisip isip bago mag hilamos ng madalian at tahakin ang daan pababa. I descended the stairs and was met with the delightful aroma of pancakes and freshly brewed coffee. The warm, inviting scent filled the air, wrapping around me like a comforting blanket as I yawned and rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

I entered the kitchen to find Kuya Tristan standing at the stove, topless, flipping pancakes with a practiced ease that spoke of countless mornings spent preparing breakfast for our family. Madalas itong magluto ng breakfast pag hindi masyadong busy sa work nito. I also saw Ate Jolina already bustling around the room, setting the table with a cheerful smile. "Morning, Kuya, Ate Jolina" I greeted them, my voice still thick from sleep.

"What's up with everyone else? Asan sina Kuya Tray and Dad?" I asked with a hint of worry. Tinry ko pang silipin ang daan papunta sa family room upang matanaw kung nandoon ba ang mga ito.

"Goodmorning! Dad and Traylor are already at the office. Dad had an early meeting and may errands daw for school si Tray kaya sumama na kanina. But I've got a surprise for you." Kuya said at humalik sa aking noo with a knowing smile playing on his lips as he slid a plate of perfectly golden pancakes onto the table.
