Who are you, Aira?

Chapter 7: What have you done?

Weeks passed and I didn't get any of my chance to talk to my brother.

It's annoying, you know. I missed him so much. I missed my twin.

I tried contacting him. But he's always cannot be reached. I rolled my eyes. Magtutuos talaga tayo pagbalik mo, Aaron!

I rolled over my bed. It's Sunday afternoon. I don't really gets up early. I don't know mornings. Usually I'd get up late afternoon. I grabbed my iPad and check my social media sites. I'm free today. No work. No Alex. Sunday is my day off.

Alex clenched his jaws when I requested to have a day off during Saturday and Sunday. I suddenly want to punch my face when I remembered what I just have said!

I am walking around his mansion. Alex's mansion is so huge. One day's not enough to check every point of his house. Isama mo pa yung garden na pwedeng gawing venue of events. Though his mansion is huge, I still familiarize every corner, exits, doors, windows, possible trees that I could climb if ever something bad happened. Just to make sure.

"Yow." I heard Carlos said.

"Where are you?" I asked while listening carefully to him.

Inayos ko ang pagkakalagay ng earpiece sa tainga ko. It has three mini buttons and mini microphone attached to it.

The first button is when you want to communicate with all of the gang. When I say gang, I mean, the guards.

The second button is when you want to personally communicate to just one person. Just like what I am doing right now. Just state the name of the person you want to talk to and the device will automatically connect you with him or her. 

The last button is when you want to turn on and off the earpiece.

The earpiece will vibrate if someone wants to connect with us.

Innovative.

"I'm on the left wing. How about you, A?"

We are forced by Carlos to have this earpiece with us. Yeah, forced. But I thought about it carefully, and I must say that this is very convenient to use. Very useful than any smart phones. We can communicate even without looking. Just pure listening and talking. And did I say that this mini device we are currently wearing is an invention of Carlos? No? Okay.

"Right wing. Please check the perimeter if someone's tailing Alex."

I stopped walking as I realized what I have just said.

A moment of silence.

Fuck.

Fucking shit!

But Carlos just laughed. My forehead suddenly creased upon hearing his reaction. This wasn't the reaction I am expecting from him.

"You know, A, if he just heard you calling him in infomal way, you'll be dead." He said. Still laughing.

"Don't care. Siya na nga ang pinoprotektahan."

He chuckled.

"You're unbelievable, A."

I pressed the first button.

"One. Who are you with?"

"Hello, A. I'm with Two, Three and Four here in South wing." One, the leader of first group said.

"Okay. Five?"

"Yes. Six, Eight and Nine are with me. North wing." Five, the leader of second group also said.
