Mafia in Disguise

Kambal?

Arzelle’s PoV

Because I suddenly blurted out my friend’s name, Claude, Cale and the elders looked in my direction with seemingly shocked expressions on their faces. 

Sino ba ang hindi mabibigla eh Aelis came from a prestigious family? I suddenly had a slip of tongue and forgot that I am currently in a disguise. 

"Err Girlfriend. Magkakilala kayo?" Tanong ni Cale. The others remained their attention to me 

with an expectant look. 

Dang it, how am I supposed to get away with the situation?

Syempre ang sabihin ang totoo. "Oo"

However, I answered vaguely. Oo, ano? Magkakilala kami pero kailan at saan at anong relasyon namin? I won’t answer further. 

"Elle, sorry" nagsisising sabi ni Aelis and so, I gave her a blank expression.

"Alam mo naman diba? Ginawa mo parin" I responded coldly

Upon hearing this, Aelis showed off an expression as if she was about to cry. Aba’y dapat lang. She just broke a big time promise. 

"Mom ko ang nag decide not me.. Atsaka hindi ko gusto ang mokong nato no!" She whined as she glared at Claude.

"At sa tingin mo gusto kita? Ayoko sa mga mukhang manika no!" sabat naman ni Claude

"Kids! Shut up! Don't spoil this day because of that, okay?" half kalmang sabi ng mom ni Claude

"Let's talk about this later" simpleng sabi ko kay Aelis

Pinasadahan ko ng tingin si Cale nung napansin kong tumahimik ito. Nakita niya akong nakatingin sakanya kaya ay ngumiti siya. A bitter one. And I don't f*****g know kung bat ampait ng ngiti niya. The hell I care anyway.

"Gail!!" lumingon ako at may nakitang couples na papunta sa direksiyon namin

"Cleopatra! Fall! You've made It!" Mrs.Go

"Of course hindi talaga kami mawawala.. It's been twelve years since the last time I saw Cale! wait, ba't ang rami mo ng anak?" Mr. Fall

Dahil sa pabirong tanong ni Mr. Fall, Mrs. Go laughed nonchalantly as she introduced all of us. "HAHAHAH, GAGA! By the way meet aelis, Claude's fiancé and ..?"

"She's Elle, mom." Gosh, hindi lang pala si Cale ang walang alam sa pangalan ko pero ay tinatrato akong kakilala. Like mother, like son.

"Yes Elle, Cale's Girlfriend"

Look at this family, spreading false alarms.

Ngumiti naman ng napakalapad si Ms.Cleo sa akin

"Nice to finally meet you" sabi nila samin

"Same gratitude here" kami..

"Neon! Cassy! Andito na pala kayo?" wait what?

"Obviously Crassus" Dad then rolled his eyes. Ba't diko alam na may barkada parents ko?

"Hey meet Aelis, Claude's and Elle, Cale's"

Napalunok ako ng tinignan ako ni Mama ng napakasama.

I think I'm going to Die

"Nice to meet you girls. Welcome home Cale and congratulations Claude" naka smile na sabi ni Mama sakanila

"Thank you po tita" sabay na sabi ng kambal

Nagtataka naman si Aelis na nakatingin sa amin ng napansin niyang di ko binati ang mga magulang ko kaya ay binulongan ko siya, "I'm on a mission" kaya ay tumango siya.

"Maiwan ko muna kayo saglit" I excused myself tapos ay umalis.

The air is simply suffocating me. Matatalim na tingin ang binibigay ni mama sakin, akala talaga niya mag jowa kami nung Cale na yon tss. Si Dad parang natutuwa sa nangyayari, I'm so gonna kill him kung di niya ako tutulungan kay mama.

Dahil nga sa distracted ako sa nangyayari ay di ko na namalayan na may nanghila na pala sakin at ipinasok ako sa isang sasakyan, "What do you want, kuya?" I asked out of frustration. Seriously, mas nakakainis si Cale kesa kay Claude. Tss.

"You need to find Troy Rodriguez, Rain Aguilar and the Lim Sisters, Gabrina and Sabrina"

"Who are they anyway?" I'm not interested.

Nang makita ni Kuya Ice na hindi ako interesado, he tried to pull some of my strings and replied with his usual tone of voice. "They came from different Mafia Organizations. Some runaway aces and I need them to join us."

Big shots, huh? Definitely worth my precious time. 

Pero ayoko din namang ipakita yung biglaang pagiging interesado ko. That was why I crossed my arms and replied with an indifferent manner. "Reward? I'm doing two missions at a time so I need a reward from this. A big one."

"Maybe an info about 'him'?" tinignan ko ang seryosong mukha ni kuya Ace

"You can't. Si Dad lang may authority na maka-"

"What the hell?!" I annoyingly looked at the golden key that kuya ace just waved for me to shut up.

"Now you don't want to disappoint us, do you little sister?" nakangising sabi ni Kuya Ace.

This two faced b***h.

"Asahan niyong makukuha ko silang apat in no time" blankong sabi ko tapos ay umalis na.

The Golden Key. The f*****g key to everything. That monster twin brothers, grr.

Di ko alam ang gagawin ko sakanila seriously.

"Aray!" Tsk! Ako dapat ang nagsasabi nyan eh! Ako yung nabangga!

"Sorry--wait! Huwaw!!! Manika!!!!" bulag ata to wait what.

Hindi ko siya pinansin at pinulot ang nahulog na device ni Papa. The f**k now I'm Arzelle.

"Hi! I'm Autumn Paris Anderson! And you are?"

"Elle Jynn Baltazar is the name" tapos nag smile. wala lang feel ko lang ngumiti.

"Hindeeeeee!!!" biglaang sabi nito.

With that being said, my smile faded away as I furrowed my brows and looked at the girl in front of me with a confused look. "Huh?"

"Arzelle Francine Lyndons is your name!!"

"Who the hell are you?"

"Ayyy!!! kinalimutan na talaga ang maganda kong mukha!!"

Kung ayaw niya akong sagutin edi aalis nalang ako.

Ikinabit ko ulit ang device at tumalikod na.

"Waaaahh!! Wag mo kong iwan Beshhhyyy!!!"

lubdub

.Flashback.

"Waaaahh!! Beshhyyy!!! Wag mo kong Iwan!!!"

"Pero kailangan eh!! wag kang mag alala kapag gumaling ka maglalaro ulit tayo!!"

.End of Flashback.

When a hint of pain travelled across my head, a past memory showed up before me. It seemed like I actually knew this girl like the back of my hand.

"Ka.. kambal?"

"One and Only!" Saad nito na may malapad na ngiti.
