CHAPTER 3.2
"Ack! It hurts ahh." I choked slightly when her arm hit my neck when she blocked the door.
"You’re too hard-headed Triah! I will be the one who’ll be scolded by my mother if I let you out and one more thing! Maybe madam and sir know that I condone you of what you want." Greta scolded me again.
I showed frustration on my face, so Greta slowly lowered her arms that were blocking my door.
"Don't be so naive. Triah! Come back here! You are really hard-headed! Triah!" I took the opportunity to get out of the room when she loosened up holding the door, she thought that maybe I would not try to get out again that’s why.
Here I am now, continuing and carefully walking towards Trisha's room.
I could still hear Greta's voice calling my name softly. But even if weak, there is still an emphasis on every word.
Trisha and I have rooms and we also have separate bedrooms. We were together then, but on her birthday she suddenly decided to change rooms.
So instead of being a guest room in the other room. Mom and dad ordered the maids to fix and clean the guest room for Trisha.
Trisha and I have different interests… but for me, we were the same. Because she is my sister.
And since our room is on upstairs and the living room is downstairs, the guests in the living room could be clearly be seen here. But I did not dare to disobey mom’s will. All I want now is to talk to Trisha here in her room and be with her.
Maybe she was also bored in her room like me.
My first knock she does not open the door. I’m still knocking but still, no one answered.
Greta was right behind me now and she was sending me back into my room.
"Triah, your mommy might see us here, we’re dead for sure." the concern in Greta's voice could be traced.
"Don't worry, when Trisha opens up for me, I'll just stay in her room. I'll just go with her. Maybe she's bored inside." I gave Greta a pure smile. And then I knocked on Trisha's door again.
But still nothing. Until I knocked a few more times, someone spoke behind us so we were a little surprised. I was shocked when I saw that it was Trisha.
"What are you doing here?" Trisha asked me blankly.
I approached her and would have held her in both hands but she avoided me.
"I said, why you are here?" there is already an authority in every word she says.
This is exactly the tone of Trisha's speech. So for me, this is her common attitude. Or her common speech.
"Did mommy tell you before---not to come out of your room?"
I looked at Greta and then turned her eyes back to Trisha.
"Yes, but I just wanted to accompany you. Maybe you're bored too because you're not with me."
"Accompanying me? Who said I was in my room?"
I was surprised.
"Huh? Did mom told us to keep inside our room and not letting us out because they have guests?" my innocent statement.
She slightly laughed. But she could not speak at first when Greta suddenly overtook me.
"Let's go to your room miss Triah," I was shocked by my friend's behavior. She seems to be too formal.
"Just wait," I averted my hand from Greta's touch. When I realized Trisha's words.
"So, you weren't in your room before Trisha?"
She smiled again.
"Yeah."
"Why were you out? Mom told us not to go out," I even emphasized the statement before.
"Can Triah, stay away from there, I'll get something in my room so I'm here now. Not to talk to you." and she opened up her door. I did not bother to follow her.
But...
"And of course, to make it clearer to you. You are the one, mommy told you to never leave your room. And I am an exemption, where in fact. I am the one who has some important visitors. Because they will take me as a model to a well-known pharmaceutical company. I will just model the medicines they make for make-up. And you can see the beauty and sexiness I have. So there is nothing to deny off, that I have a big check on them." She hovered over me with a depressing look from head to toe.
"Not like you, oops. Of course. You can be a model." My face lit up slightly because of what she said but I suddenly collapsed...
"Modelling some pigs’ feeds." she chuckled. A pain suddenly sank into my heart. I can't explain what it is.
"Bye sister. The best thing is. Go back there and just eat and eat, until your stomach explodes. You, on the other hand! Put that pig back in her den, maybe the guests will see her. And they will think I have a piggy pet." she smirked at me.
"You’re too hard to me T-Trisha. We're still twins." there are tears in my eyes.
"Woah. Twins? Twins? Do you know Triah what I prayed the most?" she paused.
"That you've never been my twin." because of the inexplicable pain I could not stop the tears from falling in my eyes.
"Look at you, you are fat. So you are taken care of by the housemaids because you are fat. I am ashamed because of your fat. I really wonder, how we became twins, in terms of the distance of physical appearance. You're so fat. I'm sexy and just beautiful." she was still bragging to herself.
I couldn't stand all the things Trisha was saying so I chose to just run and go back to my room.
"Triah. Don't run, you may destroy our house," my mocking twin laughed.
I couldn’t imagine how painful it is. The one whom you know your family was the one who let you down and pulls you deeper.
CHAPTER 4.1My tears have no plans to stop from falling. An overflowing liquid from my eyes through my cheeks down to my chin is full of pain. I felt numb inside my upper right chest, every time I cry like my heart is being squeezed, I can never explain the extreme pain it has.Every time I draw strength to breathe properly, at the same time, my heart aches as if scratching when I breathe and press my hand to my heart. At a young age, this was probably the most painful thing I ever felt.
CHAPTER 4.2"Greta, manang. You have helped me a lot. Don't worry because I will never forget you. And I will always take you to my heart and mind. I understand you Manang, it is better for you to follow mom more because she is the one who pays you. Manang, Greta ... until the next time we meet, I promise, I will do everything to get up. I will show them that I can! I will show them that weight is not a barrier to not being successful in life. So when we meet again. I will bring many gifts to you." I promised them both.
CHAPTER 5.1Esravien Fuenteciville, sounds great.His surname is kinda rich to hear. But how did he become just a worker in the fishery of mom and dad?Maybe he's abandoned by his father. But why did I not seem to notice her mother among them? He and Mike were the only ones I saw in their house.
CHAPTER 5.2"If I was you, don't try to touch your chin, you'll be confused about where your chin is. Tsk." he was about to leave when I stopped him."Are you insulting brother Esrang?" When he was about to leave, that’s why I could only see his back. When he confronted me, I hurriedly sat back on my chair and just watched TV even though I’m not focused on the show itself.
CHAPTER 6.1"Triah? God. Triah. Jen. Triah woke up. Jen." Karmi's voice echoed throughout the room. I do not remember what happened earlier."What h-happened?" I first asked Karmi, when Jen suddenly joined me."Oh my god. Why were you crying so much earlier? That's why you’ve fainted. You're still heavy." Jen's worriedly
CHAPTER 6.2When Mike left my room, I suddenly thought, a lot has really happened in my life. In my life I have been with Esra under one roof for three years. After that, I still could not come home again. But I graduated from high school. And that's where I met Jen and Karmi.FLASHBACK...
CHAPTER 7.1The days fly so fast, and it's Monday. It means this is going to be my first day in my new school. And how I wish my first day would be okay. I'm now already done and packed. I'm just waiting for someone to be with me to guide me to SNHS.
CHAPTER 7.2We are going to enter this public school like my old school, just private. But here I can also say that the entrance is clean and organized because there is a security guard to open for each student."How fat.”"Yeah wait, why is she with Ikee? How she related to him?"
EPILOGUEPrevious days were only taken by me as challenges to measuring how brave I am. And now I could finally say that I am finally here with my colleagues wearing black and with different colors in the collar part. I should celebrate after this--- the graduation ceremony.'Mondejaro, Triah Benizh'Bachelor of Science in Mass Communication major in Artistry. With Latin honors as Magna Cum laude. And awarded as Best in Artistry.When I heard my name my heart beat faster, finally I am here...finally I am also done with burning eyebrows every time I study here at Harvard University."Congratulations, Miss Mondejaro," greeted a few professors here at the University. Some of them are my professors, and I am proud to say that I also became their favorite student.Endless gratitude was my response to all of them as they shook hands. The pleasure I felt at these times was overwhelming.After our life in C
Chapter 50The questions that bother me right now are running through my mind. Why are they all here? Why is dad here? And why is there a paper here in front of dad?"D-Dad," I softly asked dad, but dad did nothing but hold a black ball-pen in his right hand. While bent over and facing the paper itself.Loud applause echoed throughout the apartment so it grabbed my attention."This is hilarious. The Mondejaro family is complete." the man let out a loud laugh, it looks like maybe it's the daddy of Esra and Jivo."What is that doing here? That's not right!" mom's pushing me away."No, it's fine, Analissa. You don't want your whole family here?" it let out a devilish laugh."I'm not kidding here, Arthuro. And one more thing---aren't you done with what you want to be signed so we can get out of here? Because the space in this apartment is shrinking." Mom's tone of voice was a hint of insult.Because of what mom said I immediately turned the pape
Chapter 49I got out of Jiv's car without hesitation, but he immediately grabbed me when he saw a black car approaching. I just gave in to Jiv and tried to hide inside the car."W-Who are they?" every word I throw at him is soft and strong."I-I don't know. I don't know." he still grabbed me.I just raised my eyebrow at the curiosity on his face. "A-Are you sure? How can I trust you? Your father is the one who called here, Jiv, and even though I didn't go to college---I'm not a fool." I know I uttered too many words, but I felt differently about him."Is that how you think of me, Benizh? Is that so? Answer me," his eyes were already glaring staring at me. Very different from Jivo whom I met cheerful and heavenly.I couldn’t measure a stare at him, so I averted my eyes from his eyes. But he violently reached both my shoulders and immediately confronted him. I was already writhing in pain caused by the painful twisting of his hand on my shoulder.
Chapter 48My jaw clenched, and my fist was about to explode with the tightness of my clenching. Just a few pokes, I plan to rush to Trisha. But when I took a step, someone stopped me.I was about to scream when someone suddenly covered my mouth and immediately walked me away from dad's room.I was already struggling with the extreme tightness of overcoming my hand and covering this man’s hand in my mouth.'Damn! Why now? Trisha is still in dad's room!'Words that in my mind can’t go out onto my mouth. I didn't see a security guard in front of dad's room, maybe they’re looking for something to drink because I didn't buy water.Shocks!Instead of continuing the struggle, I chose to drift away so as not to waste my strength. And I might even be attacked by my phobia at the thought of things."Shhh." calming down even more this man over me. How can I calm down if this is his way?I noticed that when we were in the parking
Chapter 47I spent the night first before going to the hospital and saying hello to dad. Since last night I can hardly sleep well because of the revelations I know about Trisha---should I still consider her my sister?How could a mom do that to dad? Did she really love dad or was it just his money she needed. Does dad know about it too?"Triah, don't stress yourself up and you might get sick again. Remember that you are also working on your body that you should also take care of." Jen caressed my back and grabbed my attention so that I couldn't think of anything else."I just can't help but remember what I found out yesterday, Jen. And one more thing, what if dad---finds out about Trisha?” I opened my eyes staring intently at Jen because of the shocking thought."Triah, stop glaring at me, no matter how want your eyes to get bigger but you can’t. You’re still chink" she was still joking with me and smiling.I felt a little annoyed.
Chapter 46Trisha's POVI can't count how many times I've been back and forth here to the apartment where we were staying, and to the bar that was closed because it turned out that mom's service was illegal.My brain no longer wants to digest what is happening now in my life. As much as I know, but I thought I knew everything, I thought mom wouldn't keep me a secret. But why didn't she tell me that her bar was illegal?"Trisha, sweetie." mom called me calmly when she saw me just entering the kitchen."Yes," I replied as I went to the small and old refrigerator and fetched cold water. Suddenly a cockroach passed by."Ew! Ew, ew!" I was about to squat on the foot of this cockroach that had passed by the edge of the predator."What's that, Trisha?" mom raised her voice."Cockroach," was my short reply. "Where should I throw it, mom?" mom's eyes narrowed at my question."Damn, Trisha. Where are such things thrown?" mom raised her voice agai
Chapter 45Hunter's POVI knew it was too early for me to say how I felt about Benizh. I wasn't like this then, my eyes were always saturated with different kinds of women, because I worked in a bar as a vocalist.I don't even believe the saying---love at first sight.But when I saw her in their fishery, it was as if my heart was flying with its lightness. Her beauty is amazing, she is like a soft teddy bear that is nice to cuddle.I'm still acting now hugging the pillow on my bed. I am still in my bed, I think because for two days it happened in a bar where my band and I were singing. And I even found out that Trisha and Triah's mother was the owner then and another fact I knew that...it's illegal.Fortunately, the night their mommy was arrested, I was still in the parking lot of the car at the hospital. And I did see their mom being arrested by the police.I also saw Esra accompanying Trisha inside the patrol car. I went back to the hospital to
Chapter 44I don’t know why I wasn’t comfortable talking to the two when Esra was also here. Someone whispered to me not to speak while he was still here. So I better keep quiet first."Triah? I am here to let you know that your mom escaped from prison, but you already know." There was a look of frustration on his face."Is it true that your mom, Triah, escaped? Just when?" Mike turned on me in shock."Yes, Doc. Madam Nalissa escaped---including Trisha." Greta replied, so I barely looked at her because Esra was here."Why, Triah?" he whispered to me when he came to my ear.I just responded to his whisper again. "N-Nothing." I'll just have a short answer.Maybe Esra felt deprived when I didn’t pay much attention to him."Ahm, Triah," he calls me once hand on his nape.I immediately confronted him so that he would not feel that I would ignore him forever. "Yes?""C-Can we talk?" I looked at the two next to me.
Chapter 43'Where am I? Why it is so light? Mom? Trisha? Manang? Greta? Where are you?'I just kept walking on the smoky floor, I didn’t know why I just seemed to be floating.'Dad?' I shouted but I noticed that every time I shouted I didn't open my mouth. What's going on?I saw someone behind me. So I quickly approached it. When I saw his image I was dumbfounded.'Dad, a-are you awake yet?' I hugged it tightly and cried again. 'Dad, I thought I couldn't hug you anymore, I'm so worried about you.' I noticed a brown envelope he was holding.And he slowly handed it to me. 'Dad, what is this?' I asked, but dad didn't answer me.He was looking behind me but I didn't see anything when I turned around.'Who are you looking at dad?' Dad suddenly disappeared in front of me. 'Dad, dad. Dad!' I cried until I felt a heartbeat.'Dad,'I was suddenly thrown back."Dad!" my voice growled because I had been crying while sleeping.
