Inlove with my Twin Brother

Thirteen: Jealous

I tried my best not to assume. It was not meant for me. I know. Why would he post something about me?

I inhaled so deep and tried to relax. He did not even try messaging me. Paanong para sa akin yon? Maybe he is dating other girls like he used to. He is a playboy before.

Lalong nag-init ang ulo ko sa iniisip ko. Damn. Pinilit kong matulog ng gabing yon. Good thing the next day is Sunday. Hindi ako mamomroblema sa paggising nang late kasi wala namang pasok.

I tried to sleep but damn my mind is sailing away. I asked myself again and again. Why the hell am I feeling this way?

Maybe I am just possessive of my twin brother. I have him my life and I can't stand seeing him with other people. Maybe that's it. I was with him when I was a kid, I just want to be with him.

The next day was quite okay. I went to the gym to exercise. I was up early that made me sleepy but I have to do it. I have been eating all my life here in Japan. Feeling ko nga ay tumaba na ako.

I received a text from Kit. He said he's busy in the company. Should I visit him there? I mean, he said we are dating. And my dad is there too. No one will question why I'm there. Why would I be bothered?

I did my squats and pull-ups. I am working on my limbs and abdomen. I can't lose my figure.

Naligo na ako sa gym area. Good thing they have a clean facility. Libre na rin yun nung nag-subscribe ako sa one year promo nila.

I wore a loose white pants and a cropped top off shoulder. I let my wet hair untied. I forgot my blower. I tried drying it with my towel but my hair is still wet.

I walked to the company. Nagjogging lang din naman ako. Iniwan ko nalang ang gamit ko sa locker. Babalikan ko na lang mamaya on my way home.

The sun is up now but it is cold. I did not even bother bringing an umbrella. The smell of Japan is really different. There is this unique scent that differs this country from others.

I smiled at the guard who opened the door for me. He knows me, ofcourse.

"Good morning, Ms. Santiago" he said. He is a Japanese man. He had this cute accent in speaking English.

I smiled at him and told my good morning too.

I tried to smile to everyone. Some were greeting me. Hindi ko nga kilala ang iba. Most of them are wearing office attires so I guess they are employees.

I entered the elevator. May mga nakasabay ako. Ang iba ay pinoy pa. We are actually five here. I can see them looking at me and bowing. I am not your boss!

I patiently waited. Walang nagsasalita samin. I only see the reflection in the elevator door. Lumabas na sila sa floor nila. I am left alone.

I suddenly felt nervous. What am I doing here anyway?

Hindi ko rin alam. I told my self to see Dad. I went out of the elevator and went straight to my Dad's office.

"Dad."

He was shocked at first but smiled at me.

"Whata re you doing here, Sweetie?" He asked. He stopped signing papers and stood up.

"Just visiting you. Wala naman akong ginagawa sa bahay." I sat in a couch in his office.

He went to the telephone and talked to someone. Hindi ko na narinig dahil malayo layo ako sa kanya.

Its also not my nature to eavesdrop.

I pulled the magazine infront of me. It is still the issue that features my Dad and the company. I wonder how the company is doing? Is it really that high?

A couple of minutes have passed and I am still here doing nothing. Not that I am bored but can I just do something?

"Daddy, do you have a spare work? Maybe I can start working here? Even just for today?" I asked him.

"Being responsible huh? Soon, Dustin, you will lead this soon with your brother." He said. I never imagined leading this.

"I am just saying, Dad. I think I can't. My brother can lead this. He is intelligent." I told him. Jandrick is more suitable to lead this.

"You both will work well here. For the mean time, bring this to the Head of the 12th floor." He handed me a pile of folder. It was the sales of the company as stated in the title page. Hindi ko naman maintindihan.

I walked out of the office and went straight to the elevator.

The door went open. Masyadong busy ang mga tao dito. Others were even running.

"Excuse me, may I know where is the Department head's office?" I asked a guy who sits at the first cubicle.

Napatitig pa siya sa akin. Agad na naglaki ang mata niya. "Dustin?" He asked me shocked.

"Carlo?" It took me a while to recognize him. I suddenly hugged him. It has been a while since I saw him. "How was Tita Eva?"

We used to bond in US. Isa lang siya sa mga kakilala ko doon. Although he was ahead of me, we had time together.

Nag-usap pa kami ni Carlo. It took minutes. Mahaba pa ang napagusapan namin. I even borrowed the chair of the person of the opposite cubicle so I can sit there.

"Hindi ko alam na dito ka pala nagtatrabaho. What is your job?" I asked.

"Finance Consultant." He replied.

"And soon you are jobless." Napatingin ako sa lalaki na nagsalita. Nanlaki ang mata ko ng makita ko si Kit.

He is wearing a white longsleeves with three buttons left open. I was never amazed to a man in  tucked in like this. It suits him well. He looks so respectable.

"Is it your job Mr. Fernandez to chitchat with people?" His eyes is still dark. His jaw clenched too. "And you are asked to bring the files in my office, Ms. Santiago. To my office now."

Hindi na ako nakapalag. Kahit ako ay natakot. His jaw moved aggressively and walked straight to the office. I mouthed sorry to Carlo and just followed Kit.

I gently opened the door. He is sitting in his chair looking at the papers. I walked towards him and gave him the folder. He did not look at me. He is still focused in the papers.

"Are you mad?" I tried to start the conversation but he did not answer.

I also started to get annoyed. What is his problem?

"Kit?" Still no response.

"What the hell is your problem?"

Nagsimula na rin akong mainis. I visited him here in his office tapos hindi ko naman pala siya makakausap.

Tumayo na lamang ako at naglakad na paalis.

Bago ko pa mabuksan ang pinto.

"You don't talk to guys, Santiago. I am jealous." Bumilis ang tibok ng puso. He is jealous?

I can't help but laugh. He is so cute. His ears are turning red.

"Come on, you should learn not to get jealous with my cousin." And i laughed out loud.
