ELLIE's POV
It's been months since I receive flowers every morning...
It's baskets of tulips, or roses, or gerberas, or stargazers... I really wonder...why it seems I know the sender. Or am assuming impossible things?
One morning, I wonder, no flowers were delivered... Until it becomes two days and become three days ...Then a week.
For a week now, Arra never called me, I wonder...
It was midnight, I received a call from Aris's butler
"Hello, good afternoon from the Philippines Ma'am Ellie,"
"Yes, good evening from here,"
"Ma'am Ellie, I don't know but I have no other option but to call and inform you..."
"What's that?"
"Arra is sick... She has a problem with her autoimmune system,"
"What?"
"And one of the problem big problems she's calling you,"
"Ohhhh..."
"She cries hard Maam Ellie, and she won't eat... She will wait for you to spoon-feed her. We could hardly let her take her medicines,"
"My God!"
"Ma'am, can you visit her? I pity her, she's weak now... thin and pale,"
"Are you with her?"
"Yes, Ma'am,"
"Can you give her the phone?"
"Hello Arra, baby?"
"Hello, MyMy! I miss you, please come to the Philippines,"
"I miss you too baby... Will you eat more? MyMy is coming there,"
"Really?"
"Yes, baby,"
"The next morning you wake up, MyMy and your twin Ella are there beside you when you wake up,"
"Thank you Mymy, even only your call gives me energy,"
Early morning the next day, we're on the Philippines soil.
I and Ella are rushing towards Arra's room.
When I arrive, the butler and the nurse are there.
"How is she? Why? What happened to her?"
"She got a high fever, then her nurse found her collapsed ma'am, then we rushed her here in the hospital... When she woke up she started looking for you...Every time she wakes up and she doesn't see you, she has her tantrums...she won't eat and take her medicines,"
"Ugggghhh," Arra moans
"Baby, Arra? MyMy is here...your twin Ella is here,"
"MyMy?" Arra asked in surprise and in disbelief. She's teary eyed.
"Yes, it's me,"
"And me?" Ella butt in
"Let me pinch you both," Arra
"Hahaha...you don't believe we're here?" Ella
"Ohhhh... Yes yes!" Arra claps her hands.
