THE car stopped as they reached the place, nakita agad ni Gabrielle sina Kyla at Kurt sa labas ng kanilang apartment talking to a woman in her middle age.

"Aba naman Kyla! Dalawang buwan na kayong hindi nakakabayad ng upa. Alam ko namang mahirap din ang pinag dadaanan niyo pero itong upa lang ng apartment ang hanap buhay ng pamilya ko. Kung ayaw niyong magbayad ngayun mismo mapipilitan talaga akong paalisin kayong dalawa!"

"Pasensya na po talaga. Mag babayad naman talaga kami Aling Judy lalo na at may nahanap na akong trabaho." pakiusap ni Kurt.

"Aba, huling pagkakataon niyo na tong dalawa. Kung hindi pa kayo makabayad sa linggong to mabuti't maghanap na lang kayo ng bagong mauupahan!"

Pagkatapos, umalis agad ang babae and before Kurt and Kyla could enter their apartment, tinawag niya agad ang mga ito.

"Kyla, Kurt!"

Lumingon ang magkapatid and they looked at Gabrielle in disbelief.

"Gab-Gabby?" Di makapaniwala na tanong ni Kurt. Lumapit si Gabrielle sa dalawa.

"Ako nga." She whispered.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?!" Kyla shouted angrily. Gabrielle was not surprised because she remembered seeing them both a year ago but she ignored them like a stranger, yun ay dahil hindi niya naalala ang dalawa.

"Kyla ano ba!" Kurt yelled back to his twin sister.

"Kinalimutan mo na kami diba kaya anong kailangan mo!?" Sigaw ni Kyla at hindi nagpapigil sa kapatid.

"Let me explain Kyla." Hindi alam ni Gabrielle kung bakit humantong ang dalawa sa paghihirap. The twins were smart and talented, they can still find any work for themselves even without Phoenix Publishing.

"Di na kailangan! Umalis ka na!" Sigaw ng babaeng kaharap at galit na pumasok sa loob ng apartment nila.

"Gabby, pagpasensyahan mo na ang kambal ko. Na bigla lang yun, hayaan mo kakausapin ko siya." Kurt smile a little. He was surprised to see Gabrielle and she looked different from the last time they saw her a year ago.

"Kurt, I am sorry, can I talk to her?"

Kurt hesitated at first but then opened the door widely.

"Pagpasensyahan mo na, maliit lang ang apartment namin."

The apartment is made of wood. It is old and small. The living room and the kitchen are in one area. It has a small bathroom and only one small room with a double deck bed. Gabrielle looked away and tried her best to stop her tears.

She felt sorry for the life they are living right now. It was far from the big and luxurious condo unit they once lived in. Seeing the twin's misfortune made Gabrielle's heart heavier.

Lumapit siya sa bukas na kwarto at nakita niya si Kyla na nakahiga sa kama nang nakatalikod.

"Kyla." Gabrielle called out.

Padabog na tumayo si Kyla at galit na tumingin sa kapatid.

"Ano ba Kurt, bakit mo pinapasok ang babaeng yan!?" She then, looked at Gabrielle with her eyes full of hatred.

"Umalis ka na dito kung ayaw mong kaladkarin kita palabas!" Kyla slam the door close right into Gabrielle's face.

"Gabby, hayaan mo muna siya. Kilala mo naman ang kapatid ko, grabe kung magtampo. She just needed some time and she'll eventually talk to you."

Gabrielle breathe in as she wiped her tears. She sat on the floor as she stared at the door. "Kyla, naalala mo ba? I started Phoenix Publishing in a small studio room."
