Secret: Forbidden

Revelation 4.

The next days were still the same. I was always feeling horrible especially after I throw up. I don't know why they call it morning sickness when for me it happens the whole day.

These days I feel like eating Bingsu. Or halo-halo. Anything sweet and cold. I haven't told anyone yet about my situation. Worse part is that my bestfriend is in Paris doing her modelling stuff.

The usual routine.. trying to prepare for work. Kahit sobrang nakakatamad pumasok. And here I am, contemplating if I really should go or not. But whatever, I have to.

I really tried to stay normal when Blake was around. I tried to act as if I didn't know that he was actually my cousin. Kahit sobrang hirap. Nagtatalo yung tama at mali sa isip ko. But then it wouldn't be helped if he noticed. Because we've been together for how long and I suddenly change how I am around him.

I heard my mom telling him one time.. "Normal lang yan kapag buntis.. Intindihin mo na lang muna.."

And I heard him answer, "I will Tita. It's just frustrating.." I was crying while listening to them. 'Di ko na kasi maintidihan.

He saw me then, crying. Like there's no tomorrow. "I-I'm sorry Blake.."

He then went to me and hugged me.. I almost heard my mom say "Awww"

"Shh. Stop crying.. it's not your fault." What he said made me cry harder.

No. It is. I should've investigated. Before I got into this relationship. Now I am torn between.. staying with him and keeping my inheritance intact.

I was reading and signing some documents when my secretary, Valerie called.

"Uh.. Ma'am Ashley, s-someone is looking for you. W-wala po siya sa list ng appointments niyo for today. S-should I let him in? Sabi niya siya daw magpapakilala sa sarili niya s-sa'yo." Wait, why the hell is she stuttering?

"Alright. Let him in."

I heard the door click and I saw a man.. I think we're of the same age. And I almost gaped as I realized this man looked exactly like me. If he was a woman I bet we'd look more like twins. Minus the part that he's very intimidating.

But even when I was suprised or shocked.. I still kept my composure. May mga ganito naman talagang incidents wherein may kamukha ka talaga.. right?

"How may I help you, Mr..?"

"Ashton Jarred Lauchengco Andrade. Your brother. Or should I say your twin brother."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

I am honestly shocked. But at the same time I felt kind of relieved..

"I'M YOUR TWIN BROTHER."
