Joylene's Point of View
I know that no matter what I say, Darlene won't hear and believe me anymore. That is she when she's angry with someone, she never listen to them. And so, I just left her without bidding goodbye when someone knocked on the door.
I fly when I go home because it's already night and I thought no one would be able to see me. Well, we are living in a simple life and we don't have any car.
I check my phone and Frederick said that he already go home.
When I reach our house, I directly lie on bed. The situation make me think a lot, again and again.
I was just driven lately and confuse that Darlene might really burn the Casino because of the rudeness of those guys and her anger on me.
I do believe that she didn't do that when she said that she didn't. Yet, she didn't really want to listen and believe my explanation.
Yes, Darlene is a very straight forward girl. If she think something is true and right, she really fights for it no matter who will be her enemy. She never tell a lie as far as I remember and I salute her with that attitude. She don't care if she can hurt someone as long as she's telling the truth.
Everyone thought that my sister is sensitive, naughty, not friendly and unkind but she's definitely not. She just don't tolerate fake friendship that's why she don't have any friends other than Frederick.
I just can't believe that a strong girl like my twin will be ruined because of Love. I can't believe that she will act like this and hate me so much when I accept Frederick's love.
I always chooses Darlene over anyone else. I always boast her to my friends because she's so clever. I envy her but she always said that I'm better than her.
I sacrifice and work hard for her. I tried to become a good sister to her and fulfill my promises to our parents.
Choosing to love and be with Frederick is my first time of choosing my self's happiness. All my life I wanted Darlene to be happy and have everything she wanted. And now, she's saying that I'm a cheater and just pretending to be kind. That I take all her happiness and didn't fulfill my promises.
I don't want to say this but she seems to be selfish. Maybe she forget that she swear to protect and make me happy too. That we are sisters and we must love and take care of each other.
Am I wrong when I chooses to be happy too? Do I have to always sacrifice my happiness for my sister? What shall I do? Will I broke up with Frederick just to prove my self to Darlene? I'm not a robot, I feel tired too and I really don't know what to do now.
I keep on thinking if I made a wrong choice until I fell asleep.
"Kring kring kring!" My alarm clock is ringing and I stand up to turn it off. My alarm clock is hanging in the door because if I can reach it from bed, I will just turn it off and sleep again.
"Kring kring kring!" My cellphone is ringing.
"Good morning Love. How's your sleep?" Frederick asked from the other line.
"Good morning too, love. Just fine, how about your's? I asked back.
"I had a bad dream but it became good because you appeared and save me. I love you!" Frederick said.
"Ows, I love you too. Let's talk again later because I'm going to prepare and go to work now. Okay?" I replied.
"Okay. Take care my Love. I love you, I love you, I love you so much," he said in such a sweet voice.
"I love you more and more and more. Bye bye!" I said and immediately end up the call without waiting his response. Well, if I don't end it up, our conversation will surely be prolonged.
I do my morning routine and immediately look for a taxi. I have to go to the Police Station now, I will surely have another case because of what happened to Bellas Casino last night.
Bellas Casino is a big Company and I'm the best detective here. I just feel like they are going to assign me on this case.
"Sir," I salute to the Chief when I enter his office. I go there because he called me.
"Carry on. Have a sit," Chief Alfredo Bargo said. Chief Bargo is a good police man. He's not like other police that is corrupt and can easily be paid by money.
"Thank you sir," I replied and sat down.
" It's your day off yesterday but you surely heard about what happened last night in the Bellas Casino. Right?" He asked.
"Yes sir. I watched the news last night." I answered.
"Good. Now, I already assigned someone to investigate the crime scene. Though, I want you to secretly assist them. I am interested with the girl whom they called a monster too. Please investigate about her. Understood?" Chieftain Bargo said.
"Yes sir," I answered.
"I don't have to detail everything on you. You're the best detective and my secret agent. I'm counting on you to solve this case. You may go now." Chief Bargo said.
"Thank you sir," I said and stood up. We do formalities before I leave his office.
As I expected, another case will be added on my list. I'm going to act like a secret agent with this case now. Yet, I don't really have to investigate for it anymore. I already know who's the girl and I believe that she didn't burn the Casino.
How can I tell the Chief that I know that girl and it's my twin sister? They don't have proof that my sister is a monster and at this generation, no one believes on monsters anymore.
Though, we are really not mortals and I'm afraid to be exposed someday. If I tell that the girl is my sister and the Police will interrogate her, will she lie?
I get confuse and I don't know what to do now. I don't want to make another mistake and add the anger of my sister.
I hate this case. I don't know if I can handle it.
I feel like I'm going tell keep quite and tell a lie to my chieftain now. Come on, my head is so full.
Doing the right thing will surely endanger my sister and me too. Another lies? Will my sister appreciate if I lie for her or she will look at me like a certified liar? I guess, no matter what my choice is, it is still wrong in the eyes of my sister.
"Hey! Joylene? Are you alright?" my buddy asked.
"Oh! Yes I am. Why?" I asked back.
"You've been staring at the wall for a long time and look so stress. Come on buddy. If you had any problem, just tell me," he said.
"Thanks but don't worry. I can handle this. Let's just go back to work," I replied.
