The sun was already shining through the small window of their room casting a warm glow on the pale pink curtains. Outside, birds chirped loudly as if they were also trying to wake the sleepy house.
"Ivyyyyyyyy! Yvonneeee! Gumising na kayo , Tanghali na! , Mama's voice echoed through our room as she knocked on their bedroom door " Papasok pa kayo sa paaralan ! Mga bata talaga, hirap gisingin, tulog mantika !
Inside the room , ivy groamed and pulled the blanket over her head , five minutes pa po , ma ......"
Wlang five minutes five minutes Sakin ," mama shouted again, gising na! Malelate na kayo , hirap na man to !
Yvonne, half sleep, turned to the other side of the bed and mumbled , ma .... Holiday po ata Ngayon eh......
"Anong holiday? Hindi ko alam kung holiday ang katamaran nyo , ha! Mama replied , hands on her waist as she peeked inside the room , nakuha maria !
Tulungan mo nga ko rito!.
Ate maria , who was already dressed I her school uniform and combing her hair in the small mirror near the sala , turned her head and smiled .
"Ma , Ako na po bahala sa kanila , baka ma late po kayo sa work nyo po .
Mama raised an eyebrow but nodded, "O , sya ikaw na bahala , may ulam pa sa rep , initin mo nalang kung Kaylangan.
At Sabihin mo sa kambal na , masarap pa naman ang sinangag at hatdog , Kaya gising na ! Baka lumamig na yung sinangag na niluto ko .

Maria walked into their shared room and stood between the two sleeping girls, hands on her hips .
"Ivy ....... Yvonne...... Gising na. As in , now na talaga. Kaylangan ninyo pa maligo , tapos si mama magagalit yon pag na late kayo .
"Ateeeeee....." Yvonne whined, maaga pa naman eh......

Yvonne sat up slightly, rubbing her eyes, "Hatdog po ulam?
Maria laughed . "Yon agad iniisip mo ? Oo my hatdog at sinangag, favorite mo diba yon ?
After a quick bath and breakfast, the twin were now more awake. In the kitchen, mama was busy preparing her packad lunch for work .
"Oh , maria aalis na Ako , Kayo na bahala rito .ingat kayo sa school mga anak. Mama said as he kissed each of them goodbye.
Bye po ma! , they said, and Yvonne gave ivy a playful wink.
As soon as mama. Left, maria followed after . O Tara na na , ihahatid ko na kayo .
Carrying their small school bags , the three of them stepped out of the house, the sun was already a bit hot , but there was still a cool breeze. The street was getting noisy —tricycles were passing by , kids were playing, and the vendors was selling pandesal at the corner .
They rode a tricycle, In silence for a moment as it made it's short trip to school, after a while, maria spoke again.
"O, nandito na pala Tayo , ivy , Yvonne ingat sa school ah , makinig sa teacher, ivy bantayan mo nang maigi si Yvonne ah , malikot panaman yan.
"Hindi ah, Yvonne spoke .
"Oh sge na pasok na kayo at Papasok na din si ate sa school, ingat kayo , I love you .
