YOU HAVE BEEN PLAYED

Chapter 9

'ate' in the philippines is a respectful way to talk to people older than you,  its like in japan,  except they use senpai,  ate is for girls, kuya is for boys

"ATE EVINA" the 9 year old child, ellina comes to me as i was washing the dishes while crying holding a barbie leg and some pieces of its hair

"ella broke my doll" She says sobbing, i put the the plate and dry my hands to grab the barbie hair but then the twin, ella runs downstairs with RJ

"There kuya!" ella points at ellina, ella grabs his hand and pull him near us "She broke my barbie!"

she says throwing the barbie doll with the missing leg to the ground "No i didnt! You broke the doll" ellina says,  still crying a bit

"stop lying and stop crying you liar!" ella says shouting at her sister and hitting her arm "Come on no frighting!" i say as i go between the two while rj just stares at them

"ahem" i get his attention,  he looks me in the eye and nods

"Ok, tell us what happen" he says calmy, trying to negotiate with the two siblings "Me and ellina were in the room playing when she stood up and let my glass cup fall!" ella starts

"Liar!  You said you wanted the doll so you stood up and when we fought YOU knocked the cup down!" ellina exclaims,

  she points at her trying to show justice while me and rj are seriously confused "Liar!"ella shouts "I have proof that its mine!"

ellina exclaims as she raises the barbie leg she has been holding to and showed the flat surface of the bottom of the foot and it clearly says "Elli" which is short for ellina since it didnt seem to fit.

Ella crosses her arms "Ella" RJ started then ella starts to cry "Its unfair she gets a doll" she cries.

Its 9:00 and the twins are sound a sleep, we got to fix the whole scenario.

Turns out yesterday the report cards were shown and it shows that ellina was honor, so she got a prize while ella needd to improve on her filipino and science.

She felt jealous and broke the doll. We fixed the problem by RJ proposing that he will buy them both the same teddy bear and give them after school tommorow.

I finish cleaning the dishes "Seems like your ready to be a mother, evina montez" he says hugging me from behind

"thats evina cruz for you rex montez" i say as i giggle,  he snuzzles his head in the crook of my neck

"Lets see" he says as i smile

I stare at the window as the memory floods in "evina? Are you ok?" Jaime ask with concern which reminded me that i had a unfinished conversation

"Ah,  yes. Sorry about that" i say apologizing " thats fine. Is there anythinf wrong with the model?" he ask "Oh no, its fine. I just remembered memories" i say

"oh, you know the model personally?" he ask, curious

"she's RJs sister" i say,

  i hear him gasp "Are you ok with taking the photoshoot??" he ask very concerned now

"Yes of course. Its not like im modeling with RJ himself. Im ok with his sister" i say,  trying to ease him

"oh ok. So your ok with jan 7?" he ask "we will book the flight, its on jan 5" he adds "oh thanks. Yah ill accept. Can you tell the extra detail? I mean on the flight" i say

"ah sure. Flight to manila will be 9:00 am" he says "Then manila to singapore. Youll probably reach there at night so you have a free day at jan 6, i will wait for yiu and go with you to the hotel to get you checked in,  so dont worry. Just message me when you are here already"

he says "Wow,  ok thanks. Good night,  see ya" i say "No biggy. Night" he says as we end our phone call.

I drive a taxi home and reminsc the memories of ella when she was a child.

Ella, well, she was a trouble maker, not that bad at studies, just average, she was just a child but beautiful:

she had the beautiful black silky raven hair from her mother, she had beautiful light hazelnut, and skin as smooth as sand and white as snow.

She had a twin. Ellina.

Ellina Had the same look as ella since they are twin but,  ellina has natural cruly hair from her father and has rosy lips and cheeks like her brother.

The difference between the two is that ellina is preservative. She loves to wear a dress with socks and black doll shoes while ella likes to wear those fashion clothes.

Ellina cares about her grades and strives for honor while ella barely passes and is contented with that. Ellina is the more silent, kind and secretive one.

Ella is loud, showy and needs a lot of discipline but has good inentions in life.

I go into my apartment,  change my clothes and lie my back onto the bad. My body seemed to choose the bed over food. I close my eyes and try to get some sleep.

The next morning was a friday and there is no work in the agency for the next 4 days since its new year but its a double vacation for me.

I decided to go jogging since im gonna go to the photoshoot. I change into leggings,  sport bra, a towl,  water bottle, a small wallet with some money and my phone to take an 6:00 run around the city, 

i decided that i'll run to the park and run everywhere then stop at the coffee shop. I put on my headset and listen to hamilton songs all through out the jog.

I run to the park going past through buildings and people. There are less people:

some are people walking their dogs, some are carrying bread,  some are also jogging and some are staying in cafes or restaurants.

I finally reach the park and run around letting the pure fresh air go through my nostril,  the smell of newly wet soil come to my nose,  as i run past the duck ponds and play grounds where chimdren are already starting to play.

I stood by the hill near the lake and take in the sight before me,  i stand letting the cold fresh breeze go past me,  i sit down and cool myself down,  i drink water and dry my sweat.

When i cool down,  i stood up and stretched i then run to the coffee shop.

As i reach there i drink water and dry my sweat. There wasnt very many people since it was still 7:45 am in the morning.

As i was walking to the cafe,  i see a shocking sight before me.

Rj was inside

and he was with a woman, 

who kissed him
