Avoiding The Mafia (COMPLETED)

Chapter 10

CERENE POV

Ever since I was a child, I've been living with my mom. Simula pagkabata hanggang sa magkamuang, kaming dalawa lang palagi.

I was five years old when mom would suddenly hug me tightly and would cry out of nowhere. I'm too young to understand her misery. 

I still could remember those times when I rebel because of not having a father. Nagbulakbul at nabarkada. I thought mom was keeping my father away from me and I didn't like it! 

She would always cry when I'm demanding her to tell me about my father. I'm young and naive. I didn't understand why I should have to live with her. 

When I was sixteen, she finally told me the reason. Naghiwalay ang parents ko and mom can't live without me. I got hurt of course, I didn't know mom was feeling this way.

Palagi rin akong naiinggit sa mga kasama kong may mga kapatid. I've never experienced having a cat fight, being teased and to play with a sister. I want to have one too. So badly! 

But an incident happened. 

During one of my concerts, Rebecca, who I work for, was so upset and I didn't know why! 

"I swear to God one more mistake Cerene... One more mistake and I will kick you out of my agency!" Kulang na lang sumabog ito.

I internally groaned. "I'm sorry I'm late if that's what makes you upset. My mother needs me," I said, pinapaypayan ang mukha ko with my hand. 

"You're late? Don't you dare lie to me. You tried to run away. Do you know how much money I will lose if you black down!" pasigaw niyang singhal sa akin.

"Calm down! I told you I just arrived. Mom needs me so I was late. I will never back down." I wanted to rolled my eyes but I managed not to.

"Are you kidding me? We found you in the Airport for Goodness sake! Why are you there?" 

Ugh! Nakakainis. 

The argument lasts for the whole concert! Rebecca always glanced at me with her scrutinizing gaze. 

I didn't get her point! I never went to an  airport but she keeps on insisting. 

I love her but I wanted to strangle her at the same time. She's stressing me out! 

"Do you have a twin?" bigla na lang nitong tanong sa akin. Paalis na sana ako dahil tapos na ang concert.

"No, I'm an only child," mahinahon kong sagot. Nilagay so sa bag ang cellphone ko ng makitang maiiwan ko ito. 

"Do you wear contact lens?" tanong na naman niya. 

I mentally groaned. I don't know how many times I almost roll my eyes. Kung hindi lang ito ang may ari ng agency na ito, kanina ko pa ito nairapan.

"I never wear a contact lens!" Annoyed but I have to seem not. 

"You really did not go to the airport?" hindi parin makapaniwalang tanong nito. 

Here we go again! Gusto ko ng sabunutan ang sarili ko sa sobrang stress! 

"No, I told you. I was in our boutique." Gosh! I'm so near at raising my eyebrow... so badly!

But then, she told me something unbelievable. She told me why she was upset.  She met someone just like me and thought I was her. The girl upset her dahil sa pagsagot sagot niya dito. 

Wow, I thought! She must be a tough girl! Rebecca hates people who disrespect her. I didn't believed her at first but guess what? Turns out, that tough girl is my twin sister!
