Hello, Neighbor! (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 39

"Storm Etienne, where have you been?" Thunder asked his 6 year-old son.

"To Tito Aki. I played with Arch."

"Did your mom knows it?"

"Uh huh." Sagot nito habang kumakain ng strawberry. Gusto na niyang mapailing, namana pa nito ang kahiligan sa strawberry. Laging puno ng strawberries ang ref nila. Isama pang lagi itong pinapasalubungan ng strawberry yoghurt ni Sean.

"Where's the twins?" He asked.

"Wait for it." Storm said habang busy ito sa pagkalkal ng ref nila.

"Kuya Storm!" They heard. The twins were yelling.

"I'm in the kitchen!" Storm yelled back.

Napailing na lang siya. Keegan River and Raegan Oceana are their twins. Also known as River and Ocean. Don't ask him bakit ganun ang pangalan nung dalawa. Blame Hero's dad and her best friend, George. Even Slade.

"Hi, Papsi!" Oceana greeted her and kisses her cheeks. Saka nagpabuhat sa kanya. Yumapos naman sa binti niya si River.

"Where's your mom?" Tanong niya sa mga anak nila. Storm is busy eating strawberries while dipping it to nutella.

"Nakila Ninang George po. Nagpahatid lang po kami kay Kuya Pierre dito." Oceana answered. And River? Ayon, nakakandong na sa kuya nitong si Storm at kumakain na rin ng strawberries na may whipped cream.

"Oh, okay. What do you want for lunch?" He asked the three.

"Nilagang pork!" Them three said in chorus.

"Okay, I'll cook."

"Yehey!"

"Go take a bath, you three." Utos niya sa tatlo.

"Aye, aye Captain!" Ocean and River salutes him. While Storm, hinihila na pataas ang dalawa niyang kapatid.

Nadatnan niyang nagluluto si Thunder sa kusina nila. Well actually, hindi naman sila lumayo sa mga tinitirhan nila dati. It was just few blocks away from the Altamirano-Villacencio's and the Valenciaga's.

"Hi." She greeted him.

"Hey, muffin." Hindi pa ito lumilingon sa kanya. And yet, he knows na siya yon.

"Anong ulam?" She asked.

"Nilagang baboy. The three requested it for lunch." Sagot ni Thunder habang pinahina ang apoy ng kalan. Lumapit ito sa kanya saka hinalikan siya sa noo.

She hugged him and he returned her hug. "Where's the three?" She asked.

"Taking a bath."

"Buti napapaligo mo agad yung tatlo."

"Well, I'm cooking their fave for lunch." He answered.

"Wow naman." She said and giggles. Pinisil nito ang ilong niya. "Thunder naman." She whined.

She heard him chuckles. "I love you, muffin."

"I love you too." She smiled. "Yung nilaga mo o."

"Oh, yea." Kumalas ito sa pagkakayapos sa kanya.

"Mamsi!" She heard their youngest squealed. She rolled her eyes. Blame her best friend, George. Tinuruan si Oceana.

"Hey, Ocean." She greeted her.

"Hi, Mamsi! Mabango na kaming tatlo!"

"That's good. Paamoy nga." Oceana raises her right armpit. She heard her giggling.
