Sleeping Ugly

CHAPTER 16

"Areonna?" 

Hindi ako makapaniwala sa aking nasaksihan. Why my life is so cruel? Para akong pinaparusahan ng mundo. Una, nalaman kong inilihim ng aking magulang na isinumpa ako at ngayon naman, iba nanaman ang nasaksihan ko. I was flabbergasted when I saw that Areonna here Winston's house. Ang mas malala pa, nakasalubong ko pa siya dito ngayon mismo sa kwarto ni Winston na may hawak hawak na bra.

That's why Winston is freaking out when I enter his house. Because he's hiding something.

Tama nga ang hinala ko. I'm right si Winston nga yung tinutukoy ni Areonna na boyfriend niya. Hindi ako nagkamali, my suspicions are right. Noong nakita ko palang yung lunchbox niya alam kong may kakaiba akong nararamdaman sa kanya. Hindi ako namalik mata when I saw Winston's picture and name calling her on her phone.

I feel so betrayed. Yung mga taong pinagkatitiwalaan ko ay sila rin mismo ang nagsisinungaling sa akin.

Tears started to flow again.

My parents and Winston lied to me. Why? Why I am suffering this life with full of lies? What's next? Ano nanaman ang kasinungalingan ang masasaksihan ko?

"Why are you here?" My voice was cracked again.

I got confused when I saw her just being calm when I ask her why is she here.

She smirks and chuckles.

"Oh! Come on Letisha" nagkibit balikat siya.

"I said why are you here?" I exclaimed.

She let out a sigh.

"Of course I'm here because this is my house, this is where I live and this is my room"

I'm confused.

"What? Anong ibig mong sabihin?" Kalamado kong tanong sa kanya?

She chuckles again.

"Mali ang iniisip mo Letisha. I know that you're thinking if I am Winston's other girl but you're wrong. I'm his sister and we're twins"

What? I got puzzled for a bit. I gasp in shock.

So that's why she seems so familiar to me when I first met her at the canteen. Napagkamalan ko pa ngang nagkita na kami noon. I didn't know that Winston has a twin sister. They're twins pero hindi  mo masabing kambal sila because they have a  different gender but they both have some resemblance to each other. Especially in the eyes tsaka yung ngiti nila magkapareho talaga.

Biglang lumapit si Winston sa tabi ko at nagulat siya dahil umiiyak nanaman ako.

"Hey brat!" sigaw niya kay Areonna.  "Anong ginawa mo kay Letisha at bakit mo siya pinapaiyak?" he was glaring to his twin sister.

Did I heard it right? Winston called her BRAT?

But why did she tell me that her boyfriend was the one who made her food from her lunchbox? And why did Winston called her baby before?

"Hey jerk I'm not the one who makes her cry, nagulat na nga lang ako noong nakasalubong ko siya pagkabukas ko sa pinto ko tapos bigla nalang siyang umiyak. And then I just realized that she's thinking that I am your other woman and you cheated on her. Kaya nagpaliwanag ako sakanya na kapatid kita"

Bigla siyang kinutusan ni Winston sa ulo.

"Ouch!"

"Still you make her cry, you brat"

Areonna rolled her eyes to Winston and she suddenly smiled when she look at me.

"Too bad, my plan failed" she said in disappointment.
