Chapter 20: The Rich Kid Couple

Silence

The atmosphere was so quiet that I can actually hear my twin talking to someone in her room. This is one of those moments in my life where I wish I can pause and undo what I have just said.

 “I want five kids.”

What a great way to creep a girl.

I awkwardly and slowly move my eyes up to meet her eyes. It was wide open. Dang it, I really creep her out.

“H-how about you? How many kids do you want?” I attempted to sound natural but the question made me sound a bit perverted.

Aria cleared her throat and looked at me indifferently before she speaks. “I, uh, haven’t thought about that just yet.

“You should have.” I told her absentmindedly.

When I realized what I’ve just said it was too late. So we both just stood there awkwardly and look at everything possible to look in my room, trying our hardest to avoid each other’s gaze.

I heard her clear her throat again so I automatically snap my head to her direction.

“So, uh, what about Yvonne?” She asks. “How is she by the way?”

I raise an eyebrow at her.

She’s asking me how my great great grandmother is doing. I don’t know what to think out of all this.

“I don’t know.” I mumbled.

Aria gasped. “You don’t know how is she? Nate, she’s your grandmother!”

I don’t know how is she because I haven’t even met her because for all I know she’s a hundred years dead.

“We haven’t heard from her for a very long time...” I trailed stupidly.

Why can’t I just tell her that Yvonne is dead? And there is no Yvonne and it just might be her imagination playing tricks on her. Or maybe she’s just crazy. But if she doesn’t know the Yvonne story, how can she know that I have a grandmother named Yvonne in the first place?

Aria rolled her eyes. “I just talked to her last last last Saturday on your other living room. How can you not have any contact with her if she’s here?”

Whoa there, stop right there.

“She-she’s here? As in, in this house?”

She nodded. “Where else can I meet her?”

 “You’re not playing games on me, right? Did you really talk to her?” I asked seriously.

 “Yeah. She’s very pretty by the way. I asked her if she wants to join us for dinner but she declined because she said there are many food up there.” Aria explained then she chuckled. “It was funny because I got lost in your house that time and I stumbled into your living room with a very huge painting of a girl. I was all by myself then it started to get a bit colder then she suddenly showed up. I screamed so loud you know? It was so funny because I thought she was a ghost!”

I gave her a flat look.

So there is really an Yvonne?

I straighten myself up and put my hands on her shoulders. “You, by any chance, see her right now?”

Aria shook her head. “No, why?”

I stared at her seriously and say, “You see, Aria. The thing about Yvonne is that she is actually my great gr-“
