Early update! + Important announcement
"Uhm, okay naman po kami.. ni Chase," medyo alangan si Ara sakanyang sagot kahit di niya alam kung bakit.
Tumango-tango naman ang ina nito bilang tugon.
"I know I'm Chase's mom hija, but you know I've grown very fond of you even before, so please take care of you heart, because if you do, you'll also take care of Chase's," ani Tita sabay abot ng kamay ni Ara na nakalatay sa tuhod nito.
Tinignan iyon ni Ara bago tinignan ulit ang ina ni Chase bago sumagot.
"Yes po tita, I will," Ara reassures, ngumiti naman si Brianna.
"Mom! I'm going already!," sigaw ni Brie kaya naman bumaling sakanya ang attention ng dalawa.
"Alright, ingat ka!," sagot ng ina nito.
And that was the cue for Ara to go ahead as well, but out of respect, hinintay muna ni Ara ang ilang minuto bago humanap ng tiyempong magpaalam na rin.
"Tita, I think I'll go ahead po already, I need to run some errands as well," paalam ni Ara.
Marahang tumango ang ginang tsaka ngumiti.
"Alright hija, magingat ka, and ig you're not busy, you can visit anytime, okay?," Brianna offers.
"Yes po tita, I'll try," sagot naman ni Ara tsaka ngumiti bago tumayo at tuluyan nang lumuwas.
Wala naman talaga siyang gagawin talaga, siguro'y magpapalipas oras? Hindi rin alam ni Ara, siguro'y bibisita siya sa site? Maybe Yra is there and they can catch up.
She fished her phone from her back pocket and texted her sister.
Where are you?
Hindi nagtagal ay nakakuha rin siya ng reply mula sa kapatid.
Yra: At the site, why?
Reply: can I go there? If you're not busy?
Yra: bakit? Gusto mo makita si Chase? *laughing emojis*
Reply: sira! Ikaw ang gusto ko makita, I wanna catch up
Yra: sus miss mo lang ako, pero sige, and besides kakaalis lang ni Chase may meeting daw
Reply: kk, anything u want? Pwede ko daanan
Yra: fries pls
Reply: kk
Hindi man naging maayos ang simula nilang magkambal, hindi naman iyon naging hadlang upang maging malapit sila sa isa't isa, sino ba naman ang magtutulungan kung hindi silang magkapatid lang, 'di ba?
Dumaan si Ara sa isang fast food chain upang bilhin ang paboritong fries ng kanyang kambal.
While driving she can't help grasp random thoughts out of no where, her mind might just be bored that it's thinking stuff like, what if they never really broken up?
Pano kaya kung iba ang naging kwento nila?
She shook her head slightly as she sees that she's closer to her dad's company renovation site.
Mukhang mabilis nga talaga ang mga tauhan ni Chase, in the short span of days that Ara stopped visiting, changes are evident, and it looks really great.
Hindi na nagtaka si Ara kung bakit isa sa mga napakagaling na enhineryo si Chase, hindi lang dito sa Pilipinas kundi sa Asya o pati na rin sa buong mundo.
She parked her car before getting off.
Binati siya ng ilang manggagawa at binati niya naman ang mga ito pabalik.
She contacted her sister to know her location at napuntahan niya naman iyon.
It's an office that's big enough.
"Office mo?", tanong ni Ara pagkatapos ilapag ang pagkaing dala.
Hindi muna sumagot si Yra dahil kumain muna ito.
Ilang segundo lang ang sumagot na rin ang kambal.
"Yup, I requested for it to be fixed first before anything, since I'm staying here to do my other tasks as well," ani Yra.
Kaya siya ang namumuno halos sa mga business ng kanilang ama, hindi lamang dahil magaling ito sa ganitong larangan kundi her attitude really radiates that she's fit to be a leader.
"Si Winona?", tanong ni Ara.
"With her dad's family, namiss daw nila eh," ani Yra still munching on the fries.
Medyo umiling si Ara bago umupo sa isang sifo di kalayuan kung nasaan nakaupo si Yra.
"Ikaw kamusta?," tanong ni Yra.
Nagkibit balikat si Ara bago sumagot.
"Okay lang naman," tipid na sagot nito.
"Batukan kaya kita? Ano ako? Kaibigan mo? I'm your freaking twin. I saw and know everything you went through with Chase, and now he's back, and he's seen with you in the Perez's gathering, people still believing that you're together even though kumalat na ang rumor noon na break na kayo," some sleazy tabloids are at fault, kahit hindi naman sabihin sa madla, nalalaman at nalalaman parin nila ang mga ganap sa buhay ng iba't ibang personalidad, bigla mo nalang makikita, kaya paminsan ang hirap maging affiliated sa mga mayayaman o kilalang pangalan sa industrya.
Ara's eyes rolled with a weak smile after, kahit sabihin na medyo may similaridad ang kanilang ugali, kapag kilala mo na talaga ang magkambal, may pagkaiba talaga sila.
"Hindi ko alam, to be honest with you, before I saw him again, okay ako, okay ang buhay ko, ganoon rin sa una naming pagkikita, I was professional because I didn't feel anything, pero parang nababagabag ako simula noong.. tinanong niya ako kung pwede niya na daw akong ligawan," ani Ara sa kambal, Yra was nodding slowly as if she was absorbing what her twin sister said.
"Don't you think... you still like him?", tanong sakanya ni Yra.
Medyo nagulat si Ara sa tanong na iyon pero hindi halata sa ekspresyon na nilalahad ng kanyang mukha.
"Hindi ko alam, I need to think wisely and thoroughly,"
"Of course you should, the least thing you want is getting hurt for the second, third, fourth time? Di ko na talaga alam Ara, I don't keep track on how many times you've broken your heart already with the same person," payo ng kapatid.
Ara let out a sigh before nodding to her sister's words.
"Hi, uhm, am I interrupting something?," parehong tumingin ang kambal sa niluwa ng pintuan sa opisina ni Yra.
Tinignan naman ni Yra sa Ara saglit bago tumungo ang mga mata sa nagsalita ay nagiba ang ekspresyon.
Ngumiti ang kambal ni Ara bago sumagot.
"No, Chase you're not, naparito ka?", tanong ni Yra.
"May ipapakita lang na final designs for your approval," sagot nito.
"Okay, let me see,"
