CHAPTER 2

NEVAEH's POV

“Kailangan mo ba talagang magsuot ng gan'yan? It makes you look old.” Sinulyapan ko sa salamin na kaharap si Tristan na nakaupo sa couch dito sa office ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

“You think I like wearing these clothes? The hell I do.” Lukot ang mukha na sambit ko habang isinasara ang butones ng malaki at maluwag na puting long sleeves na usual ko ng suot magmula nang ikasal ako kay Grey

“Kung sa bagay. Bakit ba kasi gan'yan manamit si Heaven?”

“Ask her then.” Pamimilosopo ko at bumusangot naman siya

I just shrugged bago dumiretso sa swivel chair ko at naupo roon.

“Kumusta naman ang buhay may-asawa? Is he spoiling you? Based on what I know Grey really loves yo—”

“Heaven.” Putol ko sa sasabihin niya, “It's not ME but HEAVEN.” Patuloy ko pa

“What's the difference? You are HER right now.”

“Tsk. He used to love heaven but right now, that's not the case.” Sagot ko tsaka sinuklay ang buhok ko

Kumunot naman ang kan'yang noo, “What do you mean by that?”

Nagkibit-balikat lang ako. I have no plan to tell them about how Grey is treating me because it will just cause  trouble.

“How is my baby's condition?” Pag-iiba ko ng usapan

“He's fine. Hindi naman daw malala ang Tama nito but he won't be able to walk for the time being.” Sagot niya at napabuntong-hininga naman ako

My poor baby.

“Anyway, nagawa na ba no'ng mga umalis ang inutos ko sa kanila?” I asked na ang tinutukoy ay 'yong mga pinapunta ko sa HQ ni Leandro para ipaalala rito kung sino ang kinakalaban niya.

I can't wait to know if how will that b*stard gonna react.

Nakakalimutan na 'ata nila kung sino ako. I'm the cruel leader of Thanatos Org and I don't forgive those who dares to messed up with me.

I don't tolerate ignorance and disrespectfulness kaya wala silang dapat sisihin kung hindi ang kanilang sarili sa mga gagawin ko sa kanila.

Hindi ko ba alam sa mga 'yon kung tumatapang ba sila o mas nagiging t*nga.

Nakakalimutan na 'ata nilang matakot sa 'kin dahil lamang sa hindi ko sila pinapansin.

But unlucky them, they crossed the line that they shouldn't have even thinking of crossing because it will just gonna cause war and chaos.

Her phone rang kaya naman dinampot niya iyon at sinagot.

“We already did what you ordered master. Everyone we saw was shot.”

A devilish smile formed into my lips. What a great news. “How about Leandro?”

“We apologize but he's not here, master.”

“That's fine. It has no fun if he'll die there anyway. Come back here now and rest.”

“Yes, master.”

“Tapos na nila?” Tanong ni Tristan kaya tumango ako

“Jeez. Paniguradong maghihimutok ng sobra si Leandro n'yan. Baka gumanti pa.”

“Fine with me pero 'yon ay kung mangangahas pa siyang manggulo matapos ng ginawa ko.” Sagot ko tsaka tumayo at nag-unat-unat

“Bakit ka nga pala naparito? How about grandpa?” I asked

“He's doing fine. As usual. Ang problema lang ay hinahanap ka na niya. He's starting to question why you're not visiting him these past few months and that's the reason why I came here. To inform you.”

I sighed nang marinig iyon.

“Just tell him that I'm busy but I'll visit him soon.”

“Okay. But, how long do you plan on pretending as Heaven?” Natigilan ako sa tanong niya

Even I, do not know for how long do I need to act as my twin sister.

Yes. I have a twin sister and her name is HEAVEN. Siya dapat ang ikakasal kay Grey but that d*amn b*tch ran away sa araw mismo ng kasal nila at upang hindi mapahiya ang pamilya ni Grey na malapit sa pamilya namin ay ako ang ikinasal nila rito.

But of course, as HEAVEN. Para kapag bumalik si Heaven o mahanap nila ito ay p'wede na 'kong bumalik bilang si Nevaeh ng walang problema.

But It's just strange that they seems to think that Grey truly loves Heaven gayo'ng mukhang grabe ang galit nito kay heaven. Or he really USED to love her dearly?

Just what the hell happened between them? Why did heaven ran away? And where the hell is she?

I massages my temple. Sumasakit ang ulo ko dahil sa sitwasyon ko. Napakagulo. Wala 'kong alam sa kung ano ba'ng nangyayari. Para 'kong sumabak sa giyera na walang dala na kahit na anong armas o kalasag.

Isang araw kasi ay bigla nalang akong binisita nila mom sa mansion ko at pinakiusapan na magpanggap bilang si Heaven and even though I am not that close to them since I grew up in my grandfather's care ay hindi ko rin naman sila matiis. I agreed in a condition of leaving immediately sa oras na mahanap nila si Heaven.

And as you can already guess, my grandfather didn't know that I'm pretending as my twin right now and I have no plan to tell him because he'll be mad for sure.

He's my father's dad pero sa lahat ng anak niya ay si dad ang hindi niya ka-close dahil ayaw ni dad na mainvolve sa mafia world. He chose to have a normal family and in order to fully have that ay kinailangan nila 'kong ibigay kay Lolo dahil iyon ang kondisyon ni Lolo para hayaan sila ni mom na magsama.

That's also the reason why there are only few people who knows about the existence of 'Neveah'. Only few knows that Heaven has a twin sister.

“Nasaan nga pala si Dalton? I didn't see him here.” Usisa ni Tristan. He's my cousin, btw. Anak ng kapatid na babae ni Dad.

“He must be out looking for Heaven. I ordered him to find her in exchange of 1 year vacation, so, he has been busy looking for her these past few months.” Sagot ko

Dalton is my right hand man, and oh, our cousin too. Anak naman ito ng panganay na lalaking kapatid ni Dad at mama ni Tristan. Tatlo kasi ang anak ni Lolo at ang ama ko ang bunso.

Natawa siya sa sinabi ko. “Hahaha!Mukhang gustong-gusto niya na talagang makalaya sa 'yo cous ah.” I gave him a death glare

“I am not a bad boss, Tristan. Nagkakataon lang talaga na maraming kailangan gawin kaya kaunti lang ang oras niyang magpahinga.” Sambit ko and he just smirks.

Although nakakairita minsan si Tristan at Dalton ay malaki ang pasasalamat ko sa kanila dahil simula pagkabata ay palagi silang nand'yan para sa 'kin. Ngayon nga ay pinagtatakpan nila 'ko kay lolo.

“Mauuna na pala 'ko cous. There's still a meeting I need to attend to. Mag-iingat ka palagi. Give me a call if you need my help about something, especially, if it's about romance. I'm an expert with that.” He winked at me and I just look at him with disgust kaya napatawa nalang siya.

Playboy.

“Just leave already móron.”

“Alright, alright. By the way, 'di ka pa ba aalis? Ihahatid na kita.”

“No thanks. Mamaya pa 'ko aalis.”

“Okay, bye!” Nang mawala na siya sa paningin ko ay tumayo na rin ako

I left my office and went to the clinic where I found my Orenji, sleeping.

“Master.” Nagsiyuko ang mga naroon.

Mga nurses at doctor ng aming organisasyon.

“You guys did a great job. If you need anything just ask Dalton for it.”

“Yes master. Thank you.” I nodded my head tsaka nilapitan si Orenji at hinaplos ang balahibo nito.

I kissed his forehead bago ako umalis sa clinic. Ayoko na istorbohin pa ang mga naroon dahil kahit hindi sila magsalita ay ramdam kong naiilang sila sa 'kin.

Lumabas na 'ko ng HQ at pasakay na sana sa motor ko pero biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko at napamúra nalang ako nang makita na mama iyon ni Grey.

Why is she calling?

“Hello...po?” Alanganin pa 'kong nag-po rito matapos kong makapagpasya na sagutin ang tawag

Oh come on, I didn't grew up saying that word so I'm not used in saying it.

With the environment I lived all these time it will be strange if I knows about that word, don't you think?

Beside, in the place where I grew up that word didn't even exists.

“Hello, ija! Busy ka ba?” As usual, masigla at friendly ang tono nito.

Malayong-malayo sa palaging mataas na tono ni Grey na parati nalang ding galit.

“Hindi naman po. Is there something you need?”

“Grey requested na dalhan ko siya ng pagkain ija kaya lang may lakad naman kami ng papa niyo kaya baka p'wedeng ikaw nalang ang maghatid sa kan'ya? I already prepared the food. And I also made one for you.”

“I see. Where will I meet you...po?”

“How about we bring it there in your house at ikaw nalang ang magdala sa office niya, ija?”

“I'm sorry but I'm not there. I'll just come to your house instead since malapit lang naman ang kinalalagyan ko ngayon sa inyo.”

“Really? That's Great! We'll wait for you here. Mag-ingat ka sa b'yahe ija.”

“I will.” I ended the call at akmang sasakay na sa motor ko but I sighed nang maalala na ang weird tingnan na ganito ang suot ko tapos mag-d-drive ako ng motor. Not just a normal motor, but a Ducati at that.

Isa pa, Heaven doesn't know how to ride a motor. She's weak after all kaya naman baka magduda si Grey kapag pumunta 'ko sa opisina niya na nakamotor.

“You.” Tawag ko sa Isa kong tauhan na agad namang lumapit sa 'kin.

“Bring this motor in this address.” Sambit ko matapos ipakita sa kan'ya ang address ng bahay namin ni Grey na nasa cellphone ko.

“I got it, master.”

Ibinigay ko naman na sa kan'ya ang susi at agad naman siyang umalis.

That motor can't disappear in our mansion dahil ang alam ni Grey ay sa pinsan ko 'yon at iniiwan lang doon.

Well, ayon ang pinalabas ko para naman malaya akong makapunta sa kung saan ko gusto kapag wala siya dahil may magagamit akong sasakyan.

I saw one of my men na mukhang paalis sakay ng kotse niya kaya nakisakay ako sa kan'ya. May mga sasakyan at motor naman ako rito sa HQ pero hindi ko rin magamit dahil nga hindi marunong mag-drive si 'Heaven'.

Jeez. Pretending as her is suck. Maraming bawal. Now that I am living her supposed to be life ay na realized kong marami kaming pagkakaiba.

I am the total opposite of her and vise versa.

Her life is so boring as f**k.
