Troy's PoV

"Oh my gosh! What a brat!" Singhal ng ate ko when I showed them the messages Gretchen got from her family

"Sshh!! Pag narinig ka ni Gretchen ate!"

"She's beautiful since kambal sila pero heck her attitude talaga omygosh"

When I looked at my mom she was just quiet and all

"Ma?"

"Kaya pala..."

"Kaya pala ano ma?"

"When I hugged her tight kanina, she cried. Pati nung nabanggit ko yung family at anak, she was like shocked na para bang bago sa kanya lahat"

"My sister... why are they like that?! I hate them!"

"I made sure to delete the messages after I captured them para di na niya mabasa. Ma, ate, dad, let's make her happy please? She deserves it"

"I still can't believe she experienced that kind of treatment. It doesn't look like it when you see her at first"

"She's a very strong woman dad, but I know she's very hurt"

"You really love her do you?"

"Dad, she's the one I fell in love with from the very beginning. It pains me that she can't even smile sincerely dahil sa pamilya niya"

Gretchen's PoV

"M-may problema po ba?"

"Love! Kanina ka pa?"

Umiling naman ako sa tanong niya "kakatapos ko lang maghugas ng pinggan, anong meron?"

Nagprisenta kasi ako maghugas ng pinggan na pinagkainan namin. Gusto pa sana ako tulungan ni Troy kaso sabi ko ako na kaya ayun.

"Nothing... nagpplano lang kami ng vacation di ba ma?"

"Oo nak. Sasama ka ha?"

"Lika dito love"

Lumapit ako sa kanila tapos umupo sa tabi ni Troy

"Nako ehh san po ba yan titingnan ko po muna sa pera ko"

"Sis! It's on us! You don't have to worry about money! Mag-eenjoy tayo dun!"

"H-ha? Hala ehh nako wag na po kayo na lang"

"Love... please?? Weekends lang naman"

"Iha kaya nga kami nagpplano for you ehh"

"Oo nga naman. Welcome celebration to Gretchen iha"

"Nako okay na po ako wag na nakakahiya"

"Sis! Tsk!" Shirley held both my hands and looked at me "stop saying nakakahiya okay? We are doing this on our own accord, we want to do this for you"

"F-for me? Bakit?"

"Coz you deserve it love" naramdaman ko na lang na may yumakap sa bewang ko pagkatapos nun

"Kayong dalwang bata kayo bitawan niyo nga si Gretchen naiipit na yata eh ayan umiiyak na naman tuloy"

Si tita naman yung lumuhod sa harapan ko. H-how did I deserve this family?

"Salamat po... salamat po..." that's all I can repeatedly say sa nararamdaman ko ngayon

"Sis you've been crying all day... tama na yan oh"

"M-masaya lang ako. Sobra"

"Awww sissy!! We love you!" Shirley said kissing my cheeks

"Hoy teka lang nakakarami ka na ng kiss sa girlfriend ko ate tibo ka ba??"

"Why you judgmental?! No?! Love na love ko lang si Gretchen che! Di ba sis??"

"Okay lang naman Shirley hehe"

"Hey!! Ako wala pang kiss tapos si ate pwede? Ang daya!"

"Here he comes. The childish Troy everyone"

Natawa na lang ako sa sinabi ni Shirley

"Gusto mo din kiss?"

Para namang batang tumatango si Troy pagharap ko sa kanya so I did kiss him, sa mata nga lang haha
