3. Life
"Rei-chaaan!!"
The shriek came so suddenly.
Caught completely off guard with an ambush from the back, two small figures leaped and tackled me down. Falling face first with a disgraceful yelp, I felt defeated as the two smaller figures settled down comfortably on my back.
"Hehee," the first voice belonged to a girl very cheeky and mischievous, "Rei-chan fell for it again!" she giggled.
"Rei-chan's weak," the other girl held her excitement under a calm demeanor, her tone a tad stony but comical.
Lifting my face from the soil, folding my arms forward to rest my chin, I sighed in resignation. "I see, I see," I mumbled in a sarcastic, resigned voice, "I guess Rei-chan's not gonna be able to make dinner today."
"Ehh?!?" the first girl responded in horror, rocking my body desperately, "what do we do, Sui??" turning to the other girl, "Rei-chan's angry!"
The other girl responded faster than her counterpart. Taking a spot in front of me, he bowed in a practiced dogeza and leaned her head to the ground: "Sui apologizes wholeheartedly," a phrase she memorized from a TV show.
"Ahhh! No fair!" the first girl complained childishly, getting off my back quickly and settling down on her knees beside Sui, "Sae apo...? Sae appowhateversomethings- too!"
I couldn't suppress the laughter that escaped my lips, "seriously, you two!"

"Rei-chan, what's breakfast?" Sae asked, clinging onto my leg.
"I smell eggs!" Sui subtly added, materializing at my other leg.
"Wait, wait, Rei-chan can't move with you two down there!" I whined at them, trying to sound as stern as I could, "stay on the table, girls."
Giggling adorably, the two ran back to their respective seats on the dining table, anticipating the food their older brother would serve them today. It seemed to them that I was the best cook in the house.
Well, Mom and Dad are never around, and our nanny Mama Lula can only cook simple dishes.
"Okay. Go wake Mama Lula up," after we were done setting up the table, I pulled my apron loose.
"Kaaay!!" Sae cheered and they both ran out of the door.

Hooking my shoes through my heels, I slung my bag over my shoulder and reached for the doorknob of my home entrance.
"See ya later, Rei-chan!" Sae looked over from the couch.
"Bye-bye," Sui piped in.
Giving them a smile, I waved back. "Don't trouble the teachers at daycare too much, okay?" I gave a light warning. Turning to the old lady beside them, I sighed, "then, I'll be going as well, Mama Lula."
