Chapter 2- Big Sister
Brianna:
"Hindi ko talaga sila maintindihan. Bakit ba sila ganu'n?" I confided to Veron.
"Bria, come on." She spoke endearingly, "Try to understand them more."
"Understand them? Veron, I've been really trying, but at the same time, I'm really starting to lose hope."
"They're your siblings. You love them, don't you?"
"Of course I do, and I want the best for them, but... I don't know. Minamasama nila ang lahat ng pinapakitang love and affection sa kanila."
"Well, you know your father. A tough-love kind of man. Who knows? Maybe his love and affection don't come across that way to the twins."
Sobra akong naguguluhan sa sinasabi ni Veron. We just want the best for them. Why can't they see that?
"Gusto lang ni dad na maging maayos ang buhay nila."
"Bakit? 'Yung sa 'yo ba, maayos?"
Biglang nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa tanong niya and for some reason, I got speechless.
I collected myself and I asked her a question when I finally got myself together. "Veron, we're talking about the twins. Why are you making this about me?"
"I'm sorry. I just thought na gugustuhin din naman ni Tito na maging maayos 'yung buhay mo."
I'm trying to stay as calm as possible, but right now, my mind is grimly puzzled.
"Veron, maayos ang buhay ko."
"Correction. Mukhang maayos ang buhay mo."
"Veron, please. Don't make this about me."
"Okay, alright. I'll stop. I'll just go back to my office." She stood up from the visitor's chair as she talked. "Call me when you need me." She smiled, with that, she turned her back from me and started walking towards the door.
"Veron." I called her before she could reach the door.
She faced me as soon as I called her.
"Ang bilis naman nu'n. Hindi pa nga ako nakakaalis! Ito talaga!" She went back and sat on the visitor's chair, "Oh, ano naman ang kailangan mo ngayon?"
"I just have a question that I want answered. Are you and Viviette on good terms?"
She smiled widely at my question, "Hay naku! As if you don't know the answer. Listen, Bria, if you want to be on good terms with your siblings, just make an effort. And, I know you're making an effort to be on good terms with them, but first, you need to put an effort in yourself."
Ang gulong kausap.
"That is not what I asked."
"Yes, but I know what you really wanted to ask." She smiled, "Later, Bria. I'll be in my office."

I'm currently in my office room in our house, in front of my computer desk, reviewing the recent submitted designs of clothing that we're going to advertise soon.
After reviewing these for Mortez Couture, I need to check the financial reports for Mortez Engines Inc. Once I finally--
My thoughts were cut short after I heard a knock on my office door.
