"Welcome Back to the Philippines!!! " rinig kong sigaw ng kung sinong pamilyar na boses, habang hinanap ko iyon ay may dumamba na sa aking likod at sumakay doon.

"Urgh! Trini! Get down you silly, monkey" suway ko sa aking kakambal

"Oh c'mon Elli, didn't you miss your sister? " naiinis na sabi niya at bumaba na mula saking likod at hinarap ko siya

"Oh, who said that? I wanna punch whoever said that" kunwaring galit na sabi ko

"Guuhh, stop that you're not cool" sabi ni sabay irap at halukipkip

"Kidding aside. Why shouldn't I missed you?!  We met after 5 years of LDR, you silly" sabi ko sabay gulo ng buhok niya

"Hey! Stop it!  I know you're 5 minutes older than me but hey, we're twins! " sabi niya at tinapik ang aking kamay

"I know that, monkey. Now, where's Mom and Dad? " sabi ko sabay libot ng aking paningin

"Oh, they're waiting for breakfast. Let's goo!! " sabi niya sabay hila sa akin para umuwi.

Galing akong U. S. at buti nalang at may concert ako dito sa Pilipinas kaya naman I chose to stay for a month. Buti nalang may private plane kami at private property, mahirap din kasi kung sa airport dahil maraming paparazzi na nakasunod at mga taong walang ginawa kundi maki-tsismis sa buhay mo.

"Hey Trini, I heard that you were MIA for 2 years after a year that I went to U. S. " pag-oopen ko sa kanya ng topic at kita ko na bahagya siyang natigilan.

"You stalker! Am I not allowed to be free?! " naiinis niyang sabi

"No, it's just that how come you were not followed? And as for a famous model like you? How come that you suddenly vanish for the whole 2 years without any trace? " tanong ko naman sa kanya.

My sister is a famous model, she's a former Victoria's Secret  model, she quit before she went MIA. Pero she's still a model, requested nga lang dahil part-time niya na lang ang pagmo-model,tinutulungan na niya kasi si Dad sa company. And as for me? I'm an international singer, and after 2 years ipapamana naman na ni Daddy sakin ang kompanya. He just let me enjoy my music career at suportado niya kami sa mga gusto namin ni Trini.

"Oh brother! " natatawa niyang sabi
" Sinabihan ko naman si Daddy at Mommy before that na babalik ako ah, I just needed to find myself back then " sabi niya at napabuntong-hininga. Sakto naman at narating na namin ang mansion.

"MOMMY!!  DADDY!! ANDITO NA SI GORILLA!! " malakas na sigaw ni Trini

"Gorilla, huh? " tumaas ang sulok ng labi ko sa narinig

"Why? You called me monkey earlier, duh! " inirapan naman niya ako

"It's because you always hang on me like a monkey" natatawang sabi ko

"It's because you're like a gorilla lang, like your face is annoying " sabi niya at umirap ulit

"Iho? " naluluhang tawag sakin ni Mommy nang makita niya ako nakita ko naman sa likod niya si Dad

"Hey Mom" tawag ko sa kanya at ngumiti. Lumapit naman sila ni Dad saakin at yinakap

"We missed you, Son" rinig kong sabi ni Dad

"I missed you too Mommy, Daddy" sabi ko at humiwalay na sa yakap

"So? Kamusta mga babae natin? " natatawang tanong ni Dad

Hinampas naman ni Mom si Dad sa dibdib nito "Ano ba Teodoro!? " kita ko namang napangiwi si Dad

"Masakit Elloisa, joke lang 'yon eh" dipensa ni Dad
