Dawn's POV
"Augh!"
"What the fu-- Ugh!"
"Phhfff!"
"No fair!"
Nags-sparring kami ng kapatid ko early in the morning. Consider that an exercise.
One last punch and we're done.
The ring was filled with hard breaths and panting.
"You've improved." I said as I drank water.
"You, too." She did the same, then laid her back on the floor.
"Hey, you fine?" I asked. Baka mamaya naghihingalo na siya doon.
She just nodded her head. "Tumayo ka diyan at malamig ang lapag." I said.
"Good morning kiddos." Dad came out of the door.
"Good morning, Dad." We said.
"Hindi niyo man lang ako sinali sa sparring niyo." May halong pagbibiro sa sinabi niya.
"Nako, baka 'di niyo kayanin Dad. Those old man's joints are really hard to put up with." I mocked.
Pabiro niya akong binatukan.
"Aray naman." Natatawa kong sambit.
"Next time, Dad." Saad ni Autumn.
"Good grief, my princess is growing up too fast." He said as he kissed her forehead.
"Dad, I reek of sweat." She complained.
"Mabango ka pa rin naman, princess." Sabay tawa si Dad.
She faintly smiled.
"Hay nako, Dad. Would you try to convince Autumn to make friends? She keeps on insisting that she can live all by herself." Reklamo ko kay Dad.
Sinipa naman ni Autumn ang binti ko.
"Aray ha." I said. She just glanced.
"Why don't you, princess? If this was about that time, you should move on and start anew. I'm sure she wouldn't like it if you were to live by yourself all alone, right?"
I knew it was about her.
"I can't." Autumn said, almost whispering.
"Yes, you can. Nandito lang ako sa tabi mo Autumn." I consoled her.
"Well, we can't help it if she doesn't want to. Just remeber to never shut people out of your life. Tara na. You're Mom made breakfast." Dad said and smiled.
"Lezzgo twin." Sabi ko at umakbay sa kanya. Siniko niya naman ang tagiliran ko kaya natanggal din 'yung braso ko sa kanya.
I couldn't help but laugh.
Pagkarating sa dining area, nakita namin sila Mommy kausap si Kuya Gil at Ate Quin.
"Kailan niyo na ba balak mag-anak? I'm getting old, I want a grandchild already." Narinig ko 'yung boses ni Mom.
Tumawa si Kuya Gil at halata namang akward si Ate Quin.
"Mom, 'di naman namin minamadali 'yung pagkakaroon ng baby." Naiilang na sabi ni Ate Quin.
"Mom' I'm working on it." Bulong ni Kuya Gil kay Mom pero rinig naming lahat.
"Loko ka talaga." Sinapak ni Ate Quin si Kuya Gil sa braso kaya natawa sila.
"Kuya gusto ko rin ng pamagkin! Isang basketball team tsaka cheerleaders." Sabi ko.
"Nako mana talaga kayo sa Daddy niyo." Sabi ni Mom at hinalikan si Dad sa cheeks.
