ABALA SI CALEIB ng makita niya ang kapatid na papasok sa kwarto nila. Alam niyang galing pa ito sa labas. Pagod na sumalampak ito sa kama. The bed even made noises. It made him cringe.

Inikot niya ang swivel chair niya paharap sa kakambal. Kawawang bata. Tumayo siya at nilapitan ito. Caden's eyes were open pero alam niyang tulog ito. His brother's weird.

Siya na ang kumuha sa bag nito at nilinisan iyon. He throwed the dirty clothes in the basket at ibinalik ang bag sa taas ng walk in closet nila. Nang bumalik siya doon ay inayos niya ang pagkakahiga ng kapatid niya. Between the two of them he is the oldest. Tatlong minuto ang agwat nila.

Tinanggal niya ang sapatos at medyas nito. Inayos ang mga pas niyo at kinumutan. He placed the shoes under the bed at pinatay ang ilaw sa side nito. Saka naman siya bumalik sa banda niya. He sat in his swivel chair and leaned back. Tapos na siya sa mga kailangan sa firm. And he has nothing to do.

Kaya naman ay binuksan niya ang cellphone at nagbrowse. An article popped in his newsfeed. Binasa niya ito out of curiosity dahil narin sa mismong header nito.

Famous Engineer  surprised to see hidden son for the first time in an international gathering. And one of spain's famous architect was  the mother of his child.

Famous engineer (Will not be named due to privacy conflicts) was said to attend the Gathering. Later on, a little boy happily called for him and announced that he was his " PAPA" , and no doubt he was his. Same features and the exact carbon copy of The famous engineer. Later on , realized that the mother of the child was one of spain's highly paid and in demand Architect. Social media influencers and other socialites that were there. Could only say " What a perfect match."

He looked at more comments at nakita niya na parehong event yun kung saan sumali ang kapatid niya. Maybe his brother knows about this? Tatanongin niya nalang ito mamaya.

It's still noon kaya naman ay bumaba siya sa bahay nila. Bumukod na sila sa parents nila at naghanap ng ibang bahay.

This house is very big for the both of them. This house.  has a right wing and a left wing. Nang makababa ako ay   agad akong dumiretso sa b. I liked cooking. Binuksan ko ang ref at kinuha ang mga kakailanganin.   ko doon.

I wanna make an egg Benedict. After making one, i sat at the stool at binuksan ang tv sa kusina. Actually this house is very very big for the both of us. It's like two house or maybe three were joint together. This is what Caden wants. Para kung baka sakaling ikakasal kami ay iisa lang ang bahay namin. Hindi mo naman agad masasalubong sina Caden kung sakali because as i said, it enormous.

After eating nilagay ko siya sa Dish washer at dumiretso sa taas para matulog uli. I'll just get the dishes later.

BUMABA ako at agad akong sinalubong ni JM, he was already in his PJ's. Pati pajama ng anak ko kailangan, branded pa talaga. Dad spoiling him too much.

"Mommy, look lolo bought me a airplane." Marahas akong lumingon kay dad na ngayon ay prente lang na nakaupo sa sofa.

When he saw my reaction ay agad naman niyang tinuro yung kusina.

"You're mom told me." He said.

Then an old version of me came out of the kitchen. Aakalain mong kapatid ko si mama. I am really her carbon copy. Binag-biak na bunga kumbaga. Lalo na't only child pa ako.

Dad was very sad dahil wala man lang daw akong nakuha sa kaniya maliban nalang sa berde kong mga mata. My mom is pinay pero kung tutuusin mukha siyang latina or italiana.

She sat near dad at binigay rito ang isang bowl ng popcorn. Kinuha naman iyon ni dad at nagsimula na siyang kumain. When JM heard the cruncky sound, mabilis itong lumapit sa lolo at lola niya.

Mom and dad spoils this kid so much. Hindi na ako magtataka kung lalake yang maldito. Iniispoil nila eh. Kala mo din naman hindi ako ganyan no? Hayst.

Dad was the oldest among the Del Rosario kaya naman ay sa kanya pinamana lahat ng ari-arian ng lolo. Dad is a spanish guy. Kilala ang mga Del Rosario sa espanya bilang pinakamayamang angkan sa bansa. That's why wag na kayong magtaka.

I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth pero hindi sila nagkulang na ituro sa akin ang kahalagahan ng pera. Ewan ko lang ba kung ano ang nangyari at binilhan agad nila eroplano.

Umupo ako sa kabilang parte ng salas at kinuha ang isang box ng tsokolate doon. This is mom's favourite.

Nilapag ng anak ko ang susi ng eroplano at nakita ko agad nag nakaburdang pangalan roon.

Jorven Josiah Marqueas Del Rosario Estevan

Hindi ko pinagkaitan ang ama niya ng karapatan sa anak niya. After all, He is an Estevan.
Napatawa pa ako when i heard, sa mga babaeng nakarelasyon ng mga ito.

When they don't like the girl or kung ayaw na nila sa babae. They always say their famous words.

"You will never be a woman, worthy of my caliber."

Napatawa pa ako. Parang nagibg quotation na nila yun. I even heard that the famous victoria Secret model na si Annaliesse ay ex pala ni Hej. Nakikita ko ito sa mga gatherings ng pamilya lalo na at kilala nila mama ito.

I saw that girl once, at a social gathering and no doubt she was really a beauty. Hindi pa ako masyadong nakakapagchismis sa mga ginagawa ng magpipinsan.

Kinuha ko ang Ipad at pumunta sa shopee. I bought so many things. Sinunod ko naman ay ang Lazada. Hindi lang dahil mayaman kami, we don't settle for things like those.

Mas gusto ko kasi iyong marami kang nabibili. Not just one clothe. Nilapag ko ang Ipad sa lamesa. JM went to get it. Kahit may hawak na ito ay pinatong pa nito ang isa sa isa pa.

He went on the floor amd sat at the carpet. Sooner or later, you will-probably look like your father.

Why did you have to take after him?
