“Woah—what the fuck is this?”

NAPATITIG ako sa lalaking kamukhang-kamukha ni Gio na kumakaway sa amin sa tabing dagat. He just hopped out of a red Lamborghini Urus pick-up truck.

He was only wearing beach shorts and a cap na baliktad ang pagkakasuot. Kumaway agad ito sa amin, “Come on! We don’t have all the time in the world, brother!” sigaw nito sa amin.

“Who the fuck is he, Giovanni?” Nel asked his boyfriend as the captain lowered down the anchor.

Russell tapped my shoulders as he led the way off the landing. He was too monotonous. Hindi niya ako kinakausap personally. Pinapansin niya lang ako sa mga ganitong bagay.

“My twin brother.” ngisi ni Gio kay Nel.

Obviously, Gio never told her about his twin. Just like how he forgotten to mention owning a yacht before. Halata rin sa mukha ni Nel na wala siyang kaide-ideya.

“A twin brother, Gio?” nasambit ko na lamang habang napapailing. I didn’t anticipate it either.

“Well, since Nel and I are really getting serious with the turn of our relationship... I want you all to meet my family.”

Gio winked at Nel.

Napakagat si Nel sa kaniyang ibabang labi at saka sinunggaban ng halik ang kaniyang nobyo. Napangiwi na lamang ako at nagpaalalay na kay Russell patawid sa dock. Surprisingly, he took my hand and guided me. Paglapat ng paa namin sa dockside, binitawan na niya ako at saka dumistansya. Napabuntong-hininga na lamang ako. Pissed-off, huh?

“You must be the little sister—” salubong sa akin ng lalaking kamukhang-kamukha ni Gio.

Only that this twin brother of his had another deeper aura. He’s looking serious and polite on the surface. There is no hint of grin in his lips. He looked clean and presentable. Even his hair is neatly combed.

Unlike Gio.

Isa pa, Gio has this bad boy look. Dagdagan pa ng black piercing niya sa kaniyang kanang tainga. He also had a hole on the left side of his lips. Tanda na minsan na siyang nagkaroon ng lip piercing doon. And, Gio had a really messy, unruly thick hair.

He paused after what he said and looked intently at me, trying to recall my name. He pointed his finger out, trying to retrieve my name from his memory.

“Lussi.” I saved him from embarassment if it happened that he really forgotten my name... Or, well, I doubt if he really knew. I smiled at him.

“Ah.” he answered as if he finally recalled and gave me a polite nod, “Lussi, I’m Leon.” he introduced himself to me, and I nodded as well.

“Leon.” I said his name that made him smile at me.

“And that’s the girl I’ve been hearing about since time immemorial.” aniya nang makita ang kapatid ko.

Leon turned towards Gio and Nel. “Nelissa.”

Nel stepped forward and pulled Leon to a hug.

“What do you want to do?” I turned to look at Russell and grinned. He stared at me blankly. Still pissed-off.

I scrunched up my nose.

I really don’t know how to approach an enraged bull. Kadalasan, ang mga tao ang lumalapit sa akin, at hindi ako. I wouldn’t happen to know the rules or the things to say and not.

“Nevermind.” sambit ko na lamang sa kaniya at saka nilingon sila Gio, “So, what are we going to do now?”

Lumingon sa akin si Leon at saka ngumiti ng pagkalaki-laki.
