"Who am I, P'Joss?"

This is the question that caught him off gurad. It seems that P'Joss knew something about me, something before the accident happened.

"What are you talking about Bas?" He asked. "Of course, you're my younger brother, Bas Panitchayasawad."

I didn't get any sign of stuttering from my brother's voice. Like, he's really sure of what he said.

"Okay... if I'm really Bas then why some of the people call me Yo?" I'm trying to get something why I was really here in my brother's office.

I noticed that my brother was trying to get busy with all those papers in a folder. Is he trying to avoid my question? If he does then he knew about something before the accident.

For almost five years, I didn't remember a thing why I got into an accident as what my husband said when I woke up from a six months coma. And silly me 'coz I didn't even bother to ask about how I caught up in an accident.

Pree told me that it was really a car accident 'coz I was driving fast and that's the reason that I don't take on the wheels. My husband won't let me too.

My big brother, Joss, had the same answer when I asked about the accident. I didn't go deep with it because I still had those injuries especially on my head.

"You know brother, maraming tao sa mundo. May magkamukha pero hindi talaga magkamukha, as what we say, similarities." He answered. "And I don't know who's Yo."

And I wasn't contented with his answer. He's dodging it and answering with bull things.

"Okay." I took a sip on my glass of water. "I hope you're not lying brother. 'Coz you're the only family that I have now after our father died."

He stood up, come closer to me and hugged me. It's warm when I felt my brother's embrace 'coz it really calmed me from all my doubts and suspicion. But still I need to dig up things about Wayo Panitchayasawad. We had the same family name and maybe he's my twin brother. I won't tell him that I knew the last name of Wayo and it's up to me to find out.

"Ipapahatid na kita, Bas." P'Joss offered.

"No, I'm alright. I'll go commute."

"I insist. Ipapahatid na kita sa driver ko."

Well, I gave in so I went out from the office and saw his driver waiting for me outside. We took the elevator heading downward. As soon as the lift opened on the ground floor, I bumped a woman and all the stuffs she carried fell down.

"I'm sorry miss." I apologized and help her get those papers.

"It's okay sir... wag na po kayong..." she suddenly stopped talking when she looked at me.

She got me confused because she was staring at me and shocked. I noticed that her hands tremble and before those paper fall down, I immediately stopped it from falling.

"Are you okay?" I asked with concern.

Her eyes look so afraid and she trembled much. I got uneasy because of her reaction.

"Miss, I think we need to go to the clinic. Maybe you got hurt." I suggested.

She shook her head and ran off inside the elevator. She kept on pushing the buttons to make the door close. Now I got bothered because of her.

"Sir Bas, tara na po. Baka traffic na po ngayon." The driver said.

I nodded and headed outside the building. I waited until the car came and took off.
