Maine had been home for almost two months now and her sisters, Nikki and Coleen, had been badgering her non-stop.
"Menggay, umamin ka kasi Ate mo 'ko. Kahit respeto na lang. Boyfriend mo na ba yang si Miggy?," Nikki was asking.
"Ate naman eh. Kanina ko pa sinasabi na hindi ko nga siya boyfriend."
Coleen narrowed her eyes at her, "Eh bakit sobrang over kung makadikit siya sa'yo?"
"MU lang kasi, hindi boyfriend."
That earned a laugh from her sisters.
"Ayuuuuun! Umamin din! Naku pag nalaman yan nina kuya, lagot ka talaga. Aasarin ka ng mga yun."
"Bakit naman?"
"Eh d ba, hate na hate mo yan dati kasi sabi mo ang pangit? Tapos ngayon ka-MU mo na. Yuck," Coleen could not contain herself any longer.
"Hoy wag kayong ganyan ha, sumbong ko kayo kay Nanay. Ang sama niyo. Mabait si Miggy sa'kin. At tsaka marespeto."
"At talagang pinagtanggol mo pa ha. Bahala ka basta pag pinakasalan mo yan itatakwil ka namin," Nikki replied.
Coleen turned on the TV and jumped on the bed.
"Leche ka, Coleen. Dahan-dahan naman. Magigiba bahay natin dahil sa'yo eh," Maine teased.
"Gaga ka. Huwag mo'ko kausapin. Manonood ako kay bae ko."
"Ano? Sinong bae?"
"Ayan oh," Coleen answered, pointing to the TV, "si Alden Richards. Tangina ang gwapo!"
"Naku," Maine said, her attention somewhere else, "yang Alden Richards na yan, feeling ko talaga destiny ko yan eh. Kung saan-saan sumusulpot!"
Her sisters looked at each other and shrieked, "ANG KAAAPAAAAAAL!!!"
"Eto tandaan niyo ha, pag nanligaw yan, who you kayo sa'kin."
Coleen glared at her, "Ang feeling naman nito. Maganda ka, teh?"
