"Hon, are they already there?" Tanong ko sa asawa ko na halata pa rin ang kakisigan kahit na ang edad nito ay nasa early fifties na.

"On the way na daw sila sa Hotel, ready na ba ang mga bata? Napilit mo ba si Ethan?" Medyo napakunot ang noo ni Enrique nang mabanggit ang panganay namin.

"I've talked to him, pumayag sya pero susunod na lang daw may projects daw na tinatapos." Ewan ko ba kay Ethan, lumalaki s'yang pasaway, hindi naman ako nagkulang sa kanya.

"Project? Tsk, he was accelarated way back then pero sa edad na 22 dapat graduate na sya, naku yang batang yan ha, baka puro bulakbol lang yan kaya nadedelay."

"Hon, don't stress yourself too much." I said as I com near him and hold his arms, "Hayaan mo na lang muna ang anak mo. He would soon realize what he's doing, hindi ako magkukulang sa pagpapaalala du'n so please dont be too harsh to him too, ayokong malayo ang loob nya sayo at magreblde lalo." Naramdaman ko ang medyo pagkalama ng asawa ko. I still have thos calming effect on him.

"Mom? Dad? We're ready!" It was Cara who is outside the door. "We're coming sweetie." I look at my husband and fix his polo. "Smile hon." I said smiling. "Let's go."

"Mom, Renz wont let me borrow his cellphone." It was Raine shouting medyo nakakabingi pa naman ang tili nito.

"Ano na naman yang away nyo kambal?" Ganun siguro kapag magkapatid may mga bangayan. Hindi ko naman kasi naranasan ang magkaroon ng kapatid.

"Bakit ka ba nanghihiram ng phone? You have yours right?" Sabi ni Renze.

"E naiwan ko nga diba? Hihiramin ko lang naman kasi ichecheck ko yong tweet ni Margaux." Umiirap pa si Raine.

"Raine!" Saway ko, "Bakit mo naman kasi iniwan?"

"Hindi ko po iniwan mommy, naiwan." Paliwanag ni Raine.

"Renz, pahiramin mo na si Kambal." Malambing na baling ko sa anak ko.

"Mom! She will just make some nonsense stalking besides it's my phone. Privacy mom." Sagot nya.

"Sabihin mo, you like Margaux kaya naiinis ka sa pambabash ko sa kanya?"

"Raine!" Saway ni Cara, "Stop annoying Renze." I dont know if she has her favorite, pero mas pansin ko na mas close sila ni Renze, si Ethan naman ang mas malapit kay Raine.

"Hon don't stress yourself with the kids." Bulong sakin ni Enrique na nagtanggal ng reading glass he's done with checking the news. "Kids stop fighting!" Isang sabi lang ni Enrique tumigil na ang lahat.

Tumigil na ang driver sa harap ng isang 5 star hotel.

"Cara pakitext si Ethan." Utos ko kay Cara.

"Sure mom."

"Ma'am, Sir pwede na po bumaba." Sabi ng driver na lumabas at umikot para pagbuksan kami.

Pagpasok namin sa hotel ay agad kaming sinalubong ng asherette "Good evening, any reservation?"

"With Mr. Sebastian Collins." Sagot ni Enrique. We've decided to have family dinner with our new investor.
