"Ang landi mo. Pati kapatid ko, hindi mo na pinalagpas ng charms mo." She raised her eyebrows.
"So you're saying I'm charming?"
"Duh." She rolled her eyes and I doubled over laughing. She punched my arm, "Don't laugh, you moron."
"Parehong-pareho kayo ng kapatid mo." I said once I recovered from laughing.
"Of course! Ang ganda ng lahi namin." She said proudly. Now we're back to being conceited.
"You call her baby girl?" tanong ko.
"Yes. Is there something wrong with that?" She asked na parang nagtataka.
"Akala ko, ako lang ang baby mo." This time siya naman yung tumawa. Hindi na lang ako umimik dahil pinagmamasdan ko siya. I was overwhelmed thinking how amazing she is.
"Don't worry, Lana's my baby sister and you're not. Of course, she'll be my baby girl. At ikaw, ikaw lang naman ang Chance baby ko." She pinched the tip of my nose, chuckling. Napaiwas ako ng tingin dahil alam kong namula ako sa ginawa niya.
"Lana's okay already. Nag-inarte lang ang batang yun dahil wala si Daddy. Ikaw? May pupuntahan ka pa ba?" I shook my head. It seems to early to go back to the office pero awkward naman kung makikipaglaro ako sa kapatid ni Eleanor. I'm not good in handling kids.
Sure enough, they're cute and adorable but they're a piece of hardwork. Kaya hanga ako sa mga magulang pati na kay Fier. She handles her job as a Psychiatrist and a mother at the same time very well.
"Mamaya na lang ako babalik ng office. Ikaw, may gusto ka bang puntahan? Or maybe aalagaan mo pa yung kapatid mo?" Napailing naman siya.
"Wala na naman akong gagawin. Pero parang gusto ko munang pumunta sa condo ko para manood ng movie."
"I'll go with you."
"You sure?" I nodded. Hindi ko alam pero kahit hindi na planado ang lahat, as long as I'm with her, I don't give a damn about anything.
"Okay." She sighed bago mapatingin sa direksyon kung saan tumakbo palayo ang kapatid niya, "Magpapaalam lang ako kay Lana." Tumango ako at sabay kaming pumunta sa parte ng bahay nila kung saan may maliit na playground, for Lana probably at may malaking swimming pool sa tabi.
"Baby girl," I heard her called her sister who was busy playing with the babysitter. Napatingin ito sa kanya bago ngumiti ng malapad at tumakbo papalapit samin.
"What's wong, Achi Kai?" I smiled when she said 'wrong' as 'wong'.
