SAB'S POV

[PREPARE the PD. We're coming in 15 minutes.]

After my 5 p.m. class this 3rd day ay umuwi kaagad ako at nagpahinga. Antok na antok nanaman kasi ako. And 7 p.m. when I woke up with a loud sound coming from my phone. Zeus Aguinaldo just pmed me with that message above. 

Before I question the reason of Zeus for an immediate meeting ay nag-message ako sa guards quarter na ayusin ang basement.

The basement of our house has been our hide-out or let's say tambayan naming magkakaibigan ever since. This tambayan is not an ordinary basement you could think. This is what we called the 'privy domicile'. Kasing lawak ng first floor ng bahay namin ang basement na ito kaya sobrang lawak talaga doon sa baba. Fully air conditioned and kumpleto sa gamit and other stuffs for our favorite hobby. It looks like a house. Basta ang weird. Ang hirap e-explain.

I got up from my bed and made myself clean before the idiots came and ransack the supply of foods in the basement. Palibhasa, may-ari daw kami ng isang mall kaya dapat maraming stock ng food yung basement namin. Pero lahat naman ng foods namin dito ay galing sa The Vittles-- food company ng mga Dela Ayala. Well, that's what you get when you have friends like them-- like them na kahit ang yayaman ay kuripot naman-- especially that Dean Dela Ayala.

She's the most kuripot friend I've known in my entire life. She prefer simple foods and stuffs but when it comes to her favorite things-- it will be the most expensive thing you will ever see in your whole life. Kuripot sya pero pagdating sa paborito nyang hobby ay labas lahat ng kayamanan ng bruha. Hahahahahaha. 

After kong mag-ayos ay bumaba na ako sa PD/Privy Domicile. Psh, ask Gabby about it, he invented that name. Hahahahahaha.

Soundproof, bulletproof, shockproof, waterproof-- and whatever proof you could think-- ang PD. Well, credits to Ninong Daniel because it's his masterpiece. Actually he's the engineer of our house and the other houses of my friends. 'What are friends for' daw ang sabi ni Ninong Daniel while he's building the houses of his other friends. Hahahaha so cool.

PD is also made of steel door so ngayon naririnig ko mula sa labas ng pintuang iyon ang parang bombang kalabog.

Pest! Kahit kailan hindi talaga marunong mag-ingat ang mga lalaking ito.

I get the remote from my side and clicked the open button and suddenly-- voila-- isa-isa na silang nagsi-pasok sa loob. I am currently lying here in my favorite swivel chair while I'm looking at the faces of my favorite friends in the whole wide world.

I smiled as a memory came back to me -- of how they become my brothers and sisters. Of how our parents-- based on their stories-- made us nang sabay-sabay. Yes, they confessed to us na sinadya nilang gawin kaming sampu on that same year. Kaya hindi kami nagkaka-layo ng edad. As for the twins, well, the Dela Ayala's didn't expect na magkakaroon sila ng kambal kaya it was a blessing in disguise na rin kasi sampu kaming magkakaibigan.

"Hi Sab!" said Vester.

Vesteryll Rage Dela Merced. The next Das' Hacker.

"Hello Sabyna. Ba't di mo agad binuksan?" asked Cj.

"It's good to be back here in PD." sabi ni Gabby sabay upo sa katabi kong beanie bag. 

Gabrielo Angelo Aquino. The next Das' Crowd Manipulator.

"Bagong pinta ba ang loob? It looks new." commented by Max.
