Nathalia's POV

"We need to go. Nathan and Nathalia, always remember what we said, okay?"

"No boyfriend and girlfriend until we graduate." sabay na sambit namin ni Kuya Nathan sa sinabi ni Dad.

He always remind us. Na-memorize na nga namin ni Kuya Nathan ang isasagot eh.

"Good. Nathaniel and Nathalie, keep working."

"Yes, Dad." sabay nilang sambit.

This is the routine that Dad tells us every morning before we go to school and work.

"Okay, good. We will go now, kiddos." sagot ni Dad. Tumayo silang dalawa ni Mom. Umakbay si Dad kay Mom.

"Good bye, Kiddos. Take care." Mom said with a smile on her face.

"Bye." sabay-sabay naming sagot.

Naglakad na sila ni Dad palabas ng dining area. As usual papasok sila sa work nila.

"They were always calling us kiddos. Like duh! That sounds like little kids, and we are not kids anymore." napairap pa si Ate Nathalie habang sinasabi yan.

"That's kinda sweet you know." sabi ko naman sa kanya.

"Whatever." she continue eating.

Kaming apat nalang na mag-kakapatid ang naiwan dito sa dining area.

Kuya Nathaniel was the eldest, he is a lawyer, two years ago when he graduated and became a lawyer, he's already twenty seven years old, he have a fiance, si Ate Kaye and I think, this year ikakasal na sila, they've been lovers for seven years. Since college pa silang magkasintahan. 5th year college si kuya noon nung maging sila, ten years kasi ang lawyer eh.

"I got to go. Inaantay na ako ni Kaye, I need to take her to work. Bye." Kuya Nathaniel stood up after he said goodbye to us then took his attache case and left.

Ate Nathalie was the second among the four, she's a doctor for two years and she is twenty three years old, she have a boyfriend, si Kuya Drew, I don't know when they plan to get married, they've been together for four years. Nasa forth year college si ate noon nung maging sila, six years palang kasi ang na-take niya sa college as doctor nang kunin siya ng tito namin na may ari ng isang hospital, need kasi noong time na iyon, now while she's working ay nagte-take na rin siya ng iba pa para mabuo iyong ten years, well magaling naman kasi si Ate Nathalie kaya siguro nakaya niya naman, parang practice niya na rin iyon hanggang maging licensed medical doctor siya, or should I say dalawa sila ni Kuya Drew, alam mo na kinuha rin ang boyfriend niya para sabay sila, and her age gap with Kuya Nathaniel were four years.

"Ate Nathalie, susunduin ka ba ng boyfriend mo?" tanong ni Kuya Nathan sa kanya.

"Of course, sabay kaming pupunta ng Hospital, since we are both doctor." sagot ni Ate Nathalie, suot niya ang lab gown niya. Sana all nalang.

"I'm just asking." sabi ni Kuya Nathan.

Kuya Nathan was the second to the last, he's the third among the four, he is a Electric Engineering student. Nineteen years old. 4th year college, gagraduate na siya this school year. He don't have girlfriend, pero may balak siyang ligawan, si ate Michelle, and since what are parents told us, no girlfriend until we graduate, kaya pagkatapos siguro ng graduation liligawan na niya. He has four years age gap with Ate Nathalie too.
