I felt the wind swayed my hair as I came down. May tatlong sumalubong samin na lalaki pagkababa namin ng eroplano.

"Where the hell are we?" Inosenteng tanong ni Hibi habang nakahawak kay Daisy. Hindi ko ba alam kung bakit ipinasama sakin tong mga asungot na to eh. At ang nakakainis. Pa VIP si Tulip, hindi daw susunod. "Hib, ang tawag dito ay airport. At nasa Pilipinas na tayo." Sarcastic na sabi ni Daisy. Well she's only four years older than Hib. He can be pathetic sometimes, he's now 14 but he doesn't act his age. Napaka ignorante niya. Well, hindi ko siya masisi, he spent his whole life inside the mansion, ni isang beses hindi siya pinalabas. Buti at hindi siya nabaliw.

Palabas na sana kami ng airport ng may nabasa akong karatula. 'Welcome back, Dafyowyowdil and friends'. I looked at the man who was holding the poster. Seriously? I stared at him for like a couple of minutes. We totally look like each other. Black hair and light brown eyes. But he looks like an idiot, and I'm not. I rolled my eyes ng bigla siyang humihaw hiyaw at pinagsisigawan ang pangalan ko. Damn. This is so embarrassing.

Lumapit sa kanya sina Daisy. I noticed na may tatlong lalaking kasama si Orchid, mga kaibigan siguro niya. I went towards them when suddenly Orchid ran and hugged me. Damn... My chest... -_-.. I know that I don't have THOSE but still....

Humiwalay ako sa yakap niya, but he started planting kisses all over my face. Damn this dude. And I'm one hundred percent na punong puno na ng laway ang pagmumukha ko. Gross.

"Na miss kita..." I let out a squeak when he suddenly hugged me tight. Ouch. But in the end, I just couldn't help myself but to smile. I patted his back and hugged him back. "You're not the only one brother." He let go off me and I saw his sparkling smile. "At ilang beses ko bang sasabihin sayo that my name is pronounced as Da-fo-dil and not Daw-yow-dil you stupid. Just because your name is pronounced Or-kayd doesn't mean na pabaluktot din ang pronunciation ng name ko." He just chuckled at napadapo ang tingin niya kay Hibi. "So you're Hibiscus huh?" Hibi smiled and they both first bumped. "Ang laki laki mo na ah. Last time na nakita kita, nasa tiyan ka palang ni mommy." Hibi giggled on what Orchid said. "I can't believe it, wala talagang patawad si mommy, adik masyado sa bulaklak. Buti nalang at di tayo pinangalanang Sampaguita, Gumamela, Santan o Ilang-Ilang."

We headed towards his car at inilagay na niya ang mga maleta sa likod. "Dad's been dying to see you. Miss na miss na niya kayo." Orchid kept talking and talking, telling me stupid moments of his life and I couldn't help but laugh, coz he's really stupid. Daisy and Hib already went inside the car at sumandal ako sa kotse.

"At meron pa, may time na biglang pumasok si tita Jackie sa kwarto ko at--" I cut him off trying to contain my laughter.

"And then what, naabutan ka niyang nagma-masturbate?" I heard his friends laugh at tinulak tulak si Orchid as if alam na alam nila ang nangyari. The guy with brown hair slapped my brother on his shoulder. While the other one with black hair punched him tapos yung isa, niyuyogyog siya habang nagtatawanan na silang lahat.

"Come on tell her Kayd." Pagpupumilit nung lalaking may brown hair. I stared at him for a minute and found myself blushing. He's cute.

"Well, tita Jackie just witnessed how monster I am in bed." And with that, nagsitawanan na naman sila. Napa iling nalang ako at napadapo ang tingin ko sa isang kaibigan ni Orchid. Hindi siya nakisali sa tawanan.... I realized that he's staring back at me. He has this perfectly crafted face, with thick eyebrows, and stubborn jaw. I feel like his hazel eyes are digging into my soul, searching for something. Para akong hinihigop nito.... A smile suddenly formed in his lips then winked at me. Aaah, pakboy. I rolled my eyes at him and looked at Orchid and his friend banging their bodies with each other. Oh my god. Isinasadula ba niya ang kahalayan niya dun sa isa niyang kaibigan? Halos mapanganga ako sa ginagawa nila.

"Stop that Orchid, you look stupid." Tumigil sila sa ginagawa nila habang tumatawa padin. "Ooh by the way, let me introduce you to my friends." Tumabi sakin si Orchid at ipinakilala ang mga kaibigan niya.

"That's Lucent." Itinuro niya yung lalaking may brown hair. Oh, the cute guy. "Clive." He pointed at the guy with glasses. This Clive guy is probably a nerd, who knows... but damn he's HOT. "And that's Trey." Oh, the fuckboy. I looked at him and he's still wearing that smug look on his face. "And guys, this is my twin sister Apharys Daffodil Patchouli Arseña." Clive and Trey smiled and waved at me, while the other one just stared at me. Great.

"I thought you're twin sister's name is Tulip." Tumingin ako sa nagsalita and it was Trey. What the hell is with this guy? "Oh yeah, she's the third one. Get it? Tatlo kami. Triplets. And yeah, dad's a fuckin sharpshooter." Why does it sound so sexy when guys do the cursing, but when it comes to girls, ang bastos pakinggan. Orchid opened the door at pumasok na ako. Erico Orchid is a wuss, but he can be gentleman sometimes.

"Wait, Orchid, you told me na makikita ko si Tulip, where's she?" Tanong ni Lucent habang nakatingin ng deretso kay Orchid. My brother rolled his eyes. "Tulip looks exactly like her..." Itinuro ako ni Orchid habang nakatingin padin kay Lucent. "Now you know what she looks like." I looked at Lucent who was already staring at me, and suddenly looked away when I smiled. What the hell is wrong with him? I noticed his cheeks went red. Is he blushing?

Pumasok na sa kotse niya yung mga kaibigan niya and he started driving. I guess his friends don't have their own cars.

"So, bakit nga pala ako pinabalik dito?" I asked and looked at him. "Alam niyo namang busy na ako dahil malapit na akong ikasal." Naramdaman kong biglang bumagal ang andar ni Orchid sa sasakyan... "Well dad's getting married." As he said that, he pulled the car in a sudden hault. At nauntog ang precious head ko! What on earth! I heard Daisy and Hib groan. I looked at Orchid and he was just staring at me blankly.

"I don't really know why either. And seriously, I think it's a blessing in disguise na ikasal si daddy, dahil mapopostpone muna ang kasal mo." I heard someone say 'what' at the back but i just ignored it. "Bakit kailangan pang mapostpone ang kasal ko kay Cruise?" Tumingin sakin ng deretso si Orchid and groaned. "I don't really get it kung bakit atat na atat kang maikasal kay Cruise?"

This time humarap na ako sa kanya at pinantayan ang nakakamatay niyang titig. "I don't really get it why you don't like him for me. And besides, hindi ba ito ang gusto ni papa? To merge our companies as one?"

He put his hands in the air as if he's surrendering or something. Alam kong marami pa siyang gustong sabihin, but he just kept it to himself. "Si daddy na ang mag e-xplain ng lahat sayo." And with that, he started the engine at nag drive na.

Naramdaman kong may humawak sakin sa likod. Si Hibi. "Are you guys fighting?" I shook my head and forced out a smile. Alam kong kahit hindi sabihin sakin ni Orchid ang totoo alam kong sinisisi pa rin nila ako. Na kung hindi ko sana sinira ang engagement ni Tulip at inagaw sa kanya si Cruise, matagal na sanang naayos ang problema ng kompanya.
