it's already p.m,dinner time. Louis decided to call her twin for dinner,she went into her room and knocked before entering "Victoria it's time for dinner"sabi nito habang kumakatok,binuksan naman ni Victoria ang pinto at tumingin sa kapatid niya ng walang emosyon"I'm not hungry,besides you can eat naman without me eh"she was about to close her door pero hinila ni Louis ang kamay niya palabas ng kwarto"Ano ba, Ba't mo ba ako hinihila? Sabi nang ayokong kumain eh"sabi nito habang nagpupumiglas kay Louis"I'm your ate,you need to follow me!"she said at mas hinigpitan nito ang pag hila kay Victoria "Ate ano ba,nasasaktan ako!"daing ni Victoria,binitawan naman siya ni Louis"sorry,ang kulit mo kasi eh,ayaw ni lolang pinaghihintay yung pagkain....and she's with your favorite Tita "she said"what do you mean?"

"Lola decided na dito mag dinner and she's with Tita Aimee,kanina ka pa niya hinahanap"she said coldly"kanina pa sila nandyan?"she asked "Opo"she said.

Mabilis na tumungo sa baba si Victoria,Imelda and Aimee is at the sala with Irene,naguusap ang mga ito. Habang pababa ng hagdan si Victoria ay hindi naman maitago sa mukha nito ang saya,nagmamadali itong bumaba"Tita!!!"sigaw nito habang pababa ng hagdan. Agad namang napunta ang tingin sakanya nilang lahat,tumayo si Aimee at ibinuka ang braso nito,mabilis siyang niyakap ni Victoria at labis ang ngiti nito"Tita,I miss you so,so,so much "she said while showering her a kisses on her cheeks. Irene was so happy dahil nakita niya ulit ang maganda at totoong ngiti ni Victoria.

"what about me? you don't miss Mama Meldy?"sabi nito,lumapit sakanya si Victoria at inakap niya din ito"where's my kisses?"she said,agad naman siyang binigyan ng mga halik ni Victoria sa pisngi"ano,do you have gift for my upcoming birthday?"she asked

"uhm... actually Lola hindi ko pa po alam kung anong ireregalo ko sayo eh,kasi parang nasayo naman na lahat"she said while hugging Imelda. Umupo naman silang dalawa dahil nangangalay na si Imelda"Okay na sa akin na makita kita sa birthday ko, that's enough for me"she said while caressing Victoria's hair.

"Big girl kq an ha,mas lalo mo nagiging kamukha si Ate,the way you talk,your posture,your voice is namana mo sakanya"Aimee said while looking at Victoria,Irene smiled, Victoria throw a fake smile. Louis joined them naman she sat beside Irene so that she'll never feel left out.

"Louis too,big girl na. Mas kamukha mo naman si kuya Greggy"she said,Louis chuckled"I know Tita, papa's girl kaya ako"she said"What's your surprise on my birthday apo? I remember last birthday ko you play piano eh"Imelda said"Surprise po lola eh,kaya secret"she said and let out a weird laugh.

"By the way Mom let's eat na lalamig yung mga pagkain"sabi ni Irene at tumayo na,inalalayan niya naman si Imelda kasama si Louis,while Victoria is with Aimee, they're laughing and whispering habang papunta sa kusina. Victoria sat beside Aimee at patuloy pa fin ang dalawa sa pag bubulungan at pagtatawanan. Irene is looking at them secretly na napapansin naman ni Louis. Hinawaka ni Louis ang kamay ni Irene at pinisil ito,tumingin sakanya si Irene at binigyan ito ng tipid na ngiti.

"Tita Aimee,you should try this."she said habang nilalagyan ng adobo ang plato ni Aimee"Sino nagluto dito?"Aimee asked "Si Yaya Beth po,masarap po yan"she said"Hindi ako ang may luto niyan ang mommy mo"sabi ni Beth,napatingin naman si Victoria kay Irene,Irene was just looking at her plate"Oppsss...sorry I thought ikaw nagluto eh"she said"it's okay"Irene said and give them a fake smile.
