Ashton's POV

"Jared! Ashton! Aa ang tagal niyo!" Nanay called loudly from downstairs.

"Tss." I hissed but we still ran as fast as we could 'cause there comes Nanay again. Lagot kaming dalawa. She's always loud like that but we love her. And she's sweeter than what everybody thinks of.

"I'm thankful we didn't turn out to be loud like her." Jared blurted out laughing while running.

Hours after and the plane finally landed. "Ang init." I annoyingly said. Our parents decided to spend our christmas here in Manila. Jared and I tried to convince them not to but Nanay already decided. She misses Philippines so much.

"We just arrived. Get my car ready." Pakikipag-usap ni Tatay sa phone, I don't know to whom, I don't even care.

"Wag na kayo mag-jacket mainit na. Akin na." Si Nanay na ang nagtanggal ng jacket namin ni Jared and handed them to Tatay. "Dalhin mo." She commanded him. Tatay's shoulder's sagged down looking defeated. Wala na siyang nagawa kundi bitbitin ang jacket namin ni Jared.

"Malalaki na sila yet you'd still make me carry their jackets." Bulong ni Tatay. Inakbayan niya si Nanay and Nanay leaned on his arm smiling.

"Ash. Why are these girls looking at us? It's annoying." Jared snorted when he noticed every girl that passes by us is freakin' looking at us. Even at Tatay. The last time we came here is four years ago. We were only twelve years old.

"Don't mind them. We cool." I nonchalantly answered and removed my sunglasses.

"Ang popogi." I heard someone.

Jared and I are twins, sixteen year old but I'm an hour older. People say parehong pareho kami ng ugali and nagmana daw kami kay Tatay. But that's not true. We're suplado but we're not completely like how Tatay used to be. That's because Nanay and also Tatay taught us not to be like him, being apathetic and stoic and emotionless. They said it would be hard for other people to deal with us, especially when a girl likes us as they also said. Tatay told us that Nanay was always upset but persisted whenever he just hiss at her and not care at all.

I believe what we're showing to everyone is already enough. Not too much but at least we respond.

An SUV arrived and we headed to the condominium right away. Nanay was feeling a bit sick so Tatay was escorting her all the way to the unit.

"Love magluto ka nga pagdating." Nanay pouted.

"Okay okay." Tatay answered.

"Nay I brought my meds. You want?" Jared asked her nang makapasok na kami. Ibinagsak ko ang katawan ko paupo sa sofa at hinagis ang backpack ko. I just want to sleep again.
