I got tired from dancing pero 'yong tatlo ay hindi nauubusan ng energy dahil pagkatapos ay nagtakbuhan pa sila.
Kung hindi ko pa talaga sinuway ay hindi sila titigil.
Tagaktak ang pawis ni Lani at Lori, so I told them to take a shower dahil may dala naman silang damit.
It was already late so they'll spend the night here, and I already texted our mother about it, who agreed and thanked me.
Pagkatapos nilang maligo, sumunod naman ako at naabutan silang nakaupo sa floor ng living room noong lumabas ako ng kwarto.
Nagkalat 'yong mga notebooks at ilan school supplies ni Lani at Lori sa sahig, habang si Wren naman ay may sinasabi sa kanila.
They were listening closely to him so I eavesdropped and found out that he was teaching them math.
Seryosong-seryoso siya pero noong makita ko 'yong mga pinagsusulat niya ay napangiwi ako.
"That's wrong," I told them as I sat with them.
"Ha? Paanong naging mali?" He put down the notebook.
I picked it up and grimaced even more. "Ang layo ng sagot mo, Wren. It's 1.75, not 254."
He frowned. "Ha? Patingin nga."
Binawi niya sa akin 'yong notebook at tinitigang mabuti 'yong sagot niya.
I crossed my arms. "Naibagsak mo 'yang subject na 'yan dati."
"Bobo siya, Ate?" Lori innocently asked.
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at mabilis na napatingin sa kanya. "Who taught you that word?"
Wren dramatically gasped and placed his palm above his chest. "Grabe 'yon."
"Don't call someone that word, Lori. It's bad." I shook my head.
Alam ko na may mga taong bobo talaga pero ayaw kong basta-basta nalang siyang magtatawag nang ganoon.
"And your Kuya Wren is not bobo." I pressed lips together as I glanced at my husband, who seemed to be proud of what I said because he was nodding with his chin up. "He's just...just..."
His brows furrowed because I couldn't find my words.
"Just? Ano, love?" He crossed his arms.
"He's just not good at math. Pero mabait naman siya, diba?" I took my attention back to my sisters, who nodded their heads.
"Tapos pogi," Wren added and they nodded again, kaya napangisi siya at nakipag high five pa sa kanila.
I playfully rolled my eyes before I picked up a pencil para itoture sila.
"Listen now," I told them seriously kaya nag seryoso na rin sila at umayos ng umupo.
I explained how I got the answer step by step in the most simplest way possible to make sure they'll understand.
Tumatango naman sila at tutok na tutok sa sinasabi ko hanggang sabay-sabay silang napa aahhh.
"Ganun lang pala kadali 'yon." Napatango si Wren sa sarili niya.
"I get it now," ani naman ni Lani na siyang may assignment dito sa sinosolve namin.
Pinasagutan ko sa kanya lahat 'yong mga natitira at pagkatapos ay chineck ko. Tama 'yong mga sagot niya kaya nakampante na ako na naintindihan niya talaga.
Nagpatulong pa sila sa akin sa mga ibang subjects nila hanggang sa sabay na silang humikab dahil sa antok.
"Let's go. Matulog na kayo," I told them and held their hands to help them get up.
