My Impostor Twin Sister

Chapter 6: Gaia?

"Apo? San ka galing?" napalingon naman ako sa tumawag ng makarating ako sa mansion.

"I went to the village grandma, may chini-check lang po." Sagot ko naman, tumango tango naman siya.

"Well that's good, you should go there more often. Mababait ang mga tao don." I know, good thing hinahayaan ako ni Grandma na pumunta doon.

"I will go there more often po, it's getting a little boring inside the manion." She smiled at me naman, she really want me to go out more often huh.

"Mhm-

"Pardon my intrusion Madame." Sabay kaming napalingon sa nagsalita, it was Kale. "May letter po na dumating."

"Oh thank you." Sagot naman ni Grandma at agad na kinuha ang letter na nasa kamay ni Kale. I guess it's already time, na matanggap ang letter galing sakanila.

Agad na umalis si Kale and I didn't even look at him at all. Pero ramdam na ramdam ko ang tingin niya ng papaalis na siya dito... maglaway ka jerk.

When I read that letter noon, I was a little excited sa balita ng nalaman ko na may kapatid pala ako. I was excited because I have someone to be with through ups and downs.

Pero hindi ko alam na siya pala ang dahilan sa ups and downs ko, buti nalang at alam ko na ang mangyayari, I should mess with her... and be kind at the same time without her knowing syempre.

Habang tinitingnan ko ang sulat ay nakita ko ang pag-change ng expressions ni Grandma, just as I expected. "Grandma? Bakit? Masama ba ang balita?"

"I- I didn't know she have-" nanginginig na sagot ni Grandma at napaupo sa may sofa. "She h-has another one."

That's what I thought, hindi alam ni Grandma na may kakambal ako. my mom also told me I was the only child, she kept reminding me ako lang ang nag-iisang anak niya.

It's weird because gusto kong maniwala na ako nga lang but then Solana came up. she looks the same, my face? My eyes? My every part of my body.

Hindi nga ako nakita ni Tita once kasi she was exiled from the family long ago, if Solana was a copycat... how did she copy me na hindi pa nila ako nakikita? I mean Solana looks exactly like me...

I also have suspicions ngayon dahil may isang insidente noon, na naalala ko pero konti lang. When my father was sick... he called me pero mali ang pagbigkas niya sa pangalan ko.

What did he call me again? Solari? Solami? I forgot but im sure it wasn't my name. hindi rin ako sure kung Solana ba iyon because I cant really remember it well. I think I was 5 at that time too...

Tinanong ko iyon kay Mama pero she just keep changing subjects. Pero what if totoo ko ngang kapatid so Solana? Napakagat nalang ako ng labi, well wala na akong pake kung ka-dugo ko nga siya.

I will make her suffer like she did to me, hindi ako magsisisi na gagawin iyon sakanya. I slowly patted my grandmother's back kasi humihikbi na siya ngayon...

"Y-you have sister." I know... and I'm not happy to meet her at all. "D-dadating sila dito in 3 days."

Umakting nalang ako na nagulat para hindi ma-suspicious si Grandma saakin, kunwari rin akong na-excite sa balita pero in reality... walang tuwa ang dumating saakin.

"T-talaga po? I- why didn't we know this po? Akala ko ako lang-" niyakap naman ako ni Grandma.

"The only thing that matters is she's alive." Napahinto naman ako. What? alive? Si Solana? What is she talking about?

"Po?" hindi ito nangyari noon dahil hindi ako nagtanong ng mga questions sakanya, I just ran in my room and was jumping in joy ng nalaman ko ang balita noon.

Hindi na sumagot si Grandma, something wrong here. nadulas ba siya? Alive? Is Solana suppose to be dead? Huh? Hindi ko magawang magtanong dahil iyak ng iyak si Grandma hanggang nakatulog siya. The maids lifted her to her room.

Ako naman ay napaisip sa may gilid, aomwthing is clearly not right. pero aalamin ko ang mga iyon, I'm clueless before pero hindi na ngayon. Malalaman at malalaman ko rin kung ano ang mga sekreto nila.

"Princess... a-ano-" I glared at a maid na kumausap saakin, but I eventually smiled. I have to keep an act nalang muna pero syempre dapat matakot parin sila saakin.

"Hmm?" mahinhin na sabi ko. I cant remember her name, is she one of my maid? Nah, wala na akong pake doon. I should hire a new maid na maasahan ko sa lahat.

And I have the perfect people.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"P-po?!" gulat na tanong ni Stellarys... "M-me?! you're hiring me as a maid?"

Kinabukasan ay agad kong hinire si Stella para maging maid ko, I only have a few days before their arrival at kailangan ko talaga ng mga kasama na maasahan ko sa mansion.

"Yeah, I wanted a personal maid." Nakangiting dagdag ko. "You can read books more often."

The only way to make her accept is through books, kasi yun lang ang interes niya and that will eventually make her successful.

"U-uhm.. sure ba talaga iyan Princess? Baka nagjo-joke kalang." Naging mas close nadin kami kesa sa dati dahil sa pag-uusap namin tungkol sa mga libro.

I have never been with some person who has the same interest as me too. tumango tango naman ako, pero I saw Stella na tumingin sa may counter where Pacifica is located.

Hmm? Anong nangyayari? Even though I'm 17 I have a matured mind of a 23 years old. Hindi rin ako nagpa-obvious na napansin ko silang nagco-communicate gamit ang kanilang mata...

I think they're planning something pero hindi ko alam, but I don't think they're going to betray or hurt me naman kaya ok lang saakin. Maybe just cautious kasi hindi pa naman nila ako kilala...

"So let me know what your decision is." Nakangiti kong dagdag, I actually wanted more than one maid. Gusto kong isama si Pacifica but I wonder kung papaya siya?

I closed my eyes and tried to think. No, what I need is a knight na maasahan ko at po-protektahan ako. pero wala akong kakilala na knight na magaling eh, except kay Luca kaso isa siyang magician I'm also certain hindi siya papayag.

"Bakit ka nga pala naghahanap ng bagong maid, Princess? Ah don't get me wrong, m-marami namang mas magaling pa saakin." Nag-aalalang sabi niya sabay kamot ng ulo.

"H-hmm? I don't trust anyone in our mansion." Sagot ko naman, I'm actually telling the truth. Si grandma lang talaga ang maasahan ko doon.

"B-but you trust me?" I smiled at her sweetly.

"Why not? Don't worry I will pay you fairly. Kailangan ko talaga ng maasahan sa mansion." Mahinhin kong sagot. "It's getting dangerous-

"Well I have the perfect person just for you." Halos gusto kong tumalon dahil sa biglang pagsabat ni... Gaia? Sa tabi namin. When did she-

"Gaia?" sabay sabi nina Pacifica at Stella. THEY KNOW HER?!
