WINTER'S POV

I woke up by a knock on the door

I was confused for a moment but then I remembered na andito ako sa bahay namin

I looked at the time na nasa may nightstand and saw na it's only 7 Am , I stood up and check myself muna sa mirror before opening the door

"Morning Sunget, kumain na lang kayo mamaya ha, si Karina pala nasa baba na, sya nagluto ng breakfast. Aalis muna ako, balik ako before tayo maglunch ok?" Paalam saakin ni Ate Marvis, tumango lang naman ako kaya ngumiti sya at hinalikan ako sa pisngi bago bumaba

Pumasok naman ako sa banyo para maligo bago bumaba para fresh

And yeah, before anything else, hindi po kami magkatabi natulog ni Eunice, she slept sa guestroom kagabi. She insisted *shrugged *

'_' _'_'_'_'_'_'_'_'_'_'_'_'_'_'_'_'

"That smells good," I heard Ate Taeyeon said

I'm here sa kitchen counter and watching Eunice cook breakfast, I offered help naman kanina pero she refused saying na it's her way of saying thank you sakin and sa Siblings ko.

"Winter, why aren't you helping Karina?"

"She said she doesn't need help kaya, and I asked her so many times," I answered

"Upo na lang po kayo dyan, malapit na po maluto, asan po pala si ate Morgan?"

"Nako, for sure borlogs pa yun, si Marvis?" Tanong saakin ni Ate

"She left a little while ago, she said she's going somewhere, pero she'll be back before lunch daw,"

"Lagi na lang nawawala yang magaling mong kapatid ha,"

"Kapatid mo din naman yun," Ate Morgan answered

"Morning baby ko," She said and kissed me on the cheek

"Wow, Karina can cook pala?"

"Yep, she helped lola cooking sa bahay,"

"Are you sure na you're helping sa kanila don?"

"Yes of course, ask Eunice pa. And I know how to fold clothes na," I said Proudly kaya naman napatawa sila

"Good job baby bunot, keep up the good work. Eh how about your school? I heard na you guys started earlier sa bago mong school,"

"It's all good, everyone is nice. And Eunice is the School's SC president pala, and then her cousins Ethan and Ashley are Vice Pres and secretary. And we also met new friends there. They're neighbours with us po,"

"Oh really? That's good! Maganda yan for college ha." Ate Morgan commented and send Karina an approving nod

Eunice started getting the plates na so I quickly stood up and helped her na mag set ng table

"Ate, Can you get water?" I asked ate Taeyeon who nodded

........

"So we're planning to visit you and your friends sa province this weekend. But since you're here, how about we go there with you. Sasabay na kami sainyo papunta dun, and We'll be there until next week monday,"

I looked at them wide eyes

"Wait, seriously? You'll staying there for a week? How about your works? Don't you guys a have a lot of things to do?"

"Baby we missed you kaya, we'll clear our schedule just to be with you! We never really spend time with each other since busy kami and then you were always abroad with mom." Lambing ni Ate Morgan

She's clinging to me na and kissing my cheeks every now and then

" Ok then, did you guys packed your things na?"

" Yeah, kagabi pa. Kaya nga medyo late na ako nagising, si Marvis may kakausapin lang ata then ayun, ready na din yun don't worry,"

Now I'm excited! I'm going back with my Ate's

"Ay, Bunot. Dalhin namin isa mong sasakyan ha, tapos iiwan nalang din namin don para hindi ka humihiram kay Lyle,"Sabi ni Ate Taeyeon

" Ate, It's fine. Hindi naman namin masyadong nagagamit yung sasakyan, we always ride the tricycle kapag papunta sa school, "

" Oh wow, you know how to commute na?" Amused na tanong ni Ate Morgan

" Yup, Lasil thought us on our first day of school. It's madali lang naman pala, "

"Ok that's good, I never Learned that one. You should teach me," Ate Morgan said making me giggle

"Sure ate,"

My eyes suddenly fell on Eunice, she's looking at us with soft smile so I raised an Eyebrow and she just shakes her head and motion for me to eat more









 

"Ate, have you seen my Nintendo?"

We're done eating breakfast na and I was just rummaging my stuffs na pwedeng dalhin ko pabalik sa province

"I don't know eh, you can check dyan sa may closet mo! All your toys are in there," Ate Taeyeon answered back

I immediately went sa may walk in closet ko to find my Nintendo, I found it naman and then I saw all my toys.

What if I'll bring some of them so that I can use it whenever I'm bored sa bahay?

I asked myself looking at the toys na maayos na naka arrange

In the end I just shrugged and Asked one of our maid if she can get me a box

"Hoy Sunget, ano yan? Bat mo nilalagay yan dyan? Papamigay mo?" nagulat ako sa boses na nagsalita mula sa likod ko and I saw ate Marvis looking at me, she's munching some chips, she's sporting a back pack sa likod nya

"I'm bringing them back dun kila Eunice, I don't want to use my phone all the time naman and I barely use their game console dun, so I'm bringing mine instead,"

"Are you sure? Tignan mo nga yang drone mo hindi mo pa nga nilalabas sa Box eh, tapos yang remote controlled Plane mo din, wait bakit pati yung boat dala mo? My pool sila dun?"

"No, pero they have river dun, a very big and clean one."

"Oh, take us there! I'm bringing my own toy din, let's have a race," ate Marvis said and quickly left me alone

 

"Winter?" I heard a soft voice called me from outside

"In here! Pasok ka" Sagot ko naman

I heard light footsteps and then I saw Eunice's head peek from the closet's door

"Hi! Ginagawa mo?" Tanong nya

"I'm bringing some of my toys, come here,"

Lumapit naman sya habang nagmamasid

"laki naman ng closet mo Wintot," She said, I gave her a glare but she just shrugs me off and sits down next to me and scanned the box

"Bat andami nyan? Naka Box pa yung iba oh,"

"It's all new and I want to use it na." I simply answered

She just nodded and put her head on my shoulder as I continued to put things in the box

"Puro remote control laruan mo?"

"Mostly, but no. I have legos din. It's in the other room nga lang. It's full of build legos that me and Ate Marvis did back then. I'll show you the room later after I finish this,"

"Ay, sorry bebe time pala. Love, mamaya na lang after nila maglambingan," We heard ate Taeyeon's voice kaya naman agad kaming napaharap

Excitement filled my body when I saw ate's long time girlfriend, I immediately stood up and run up to Her

"ATE FANY!!!" I yelled and tackled her in a hug

"Hey Baby Min," She softly said and caressed my hair before I felt her kiss it

"How are you?" She asked me and cradled my face

"I'm fine po! I'm with a friend po pala," I said and Look at Eunice na nakatayo na

"Hi!" Ate Tiffany greeted with a bright smile

"Hello po,"

"Tiffany, I'm Taeyeon's girlfriend. Nice to meet you,"

"Karina po"
"You look beautiful Karina!" Ate Tiffany compliments Karina making the latter blush and said her thanks in a small voice

"You didn't tell me na you'll be in Manila! Edi sana andito ako last night,"

"I didn't know na you're back here in Manila din po, I thought you're still in Palawan. Sorry"

"It's ok baby. By the way, you guys will leave after lunch?"

I nod my head and wrap my arm around Eunice' waist

"Yes po, I'm just packing some of my things na I'll bring back. Are you coming with us po?"

She give me an apologetic smile

"I'm sorry baby Min. But I can't. I have to attend some meetings pa eh. And I need to go back din sa Palawan because of some ongoing construction dun. Maybe next time though," She said and patted my head

"I FOUND MY BOAT NA SUNGET," Ate Marvis yelled as she enters my room

We all looked at her and she immediately gives us a shy smile

"Sorry" she shyly said and guve us a grin
"Ate Fany! You're here pala, when did you arrive?" Ate Marvis asked ng makalapit sya kay Ate Tiffany

Ate Taeyeon went back to her room to prepare her bags daw so Kami na lang ang naiwan dito sa kwarto

"Last night lang, Taeyeon fetched me kagabi,"

"Sinundo ka? Bakit hindi nagsabi na uuwi ka?"

"She didn't know din naman, I just called her and told her to pick me up. Sa Condo ko na lang ako nagpadiretso."Ate Tiffany answered kaya naman napatango na lang si Ate Marvis at napating
