Chapter 4: In His House

It woke me up when there's someone swinging my shoulder and calling my name while I was still leaning back in the soft car seat.
 
"Mi cielo,wakes up! We are here." My eyes widened after hearing that voice, which belonged to my twin’s boyfriend. 
I was temporarily dazing by now and presuming that wasn’t our home, perhaps in Greige’s home. 
"Why are we here? Should I reach home now?" I showed him a puzzled glance, but he teased me. He is really annoying.
"I farther informed your parents that you would stay here for three days with me." He answered in a serious manner. I can’t act because I don’t perceive to revert to this. I can’t believe that my parents allowed me to stay with that guy in his residence. I thought they just cared about the business.
"Don’t worry, mi cielo, your parents agreed to be with us." He remained stating but I ignored it.
I didn’t know how he could convince them. They are too conservative on this matter. I think that my mother and father will disagree, but he previously got my parents’ permission.
When we came into their home, I was quickly approached by the housemaids with a smile. It struggled me to look up after that as silently examined the house, its forms are unique and seem unusual, unlike ours.
"I’ve arranged a guest room where you can stay for a few days, mi cielo." Then he picked me aside to get to the place he referred to.
"Here you go. Do you like it?" He sought me, hence I naturally nodded in return. I don’t have a desire to speak because I am already tired.
"I set up this room with Yaya Celeste so that you can get more comfortable." He continued while we were still roaming around. I simply laughed in response and exactly observed around and lay on the bed. 
"May I leave for now so that you can rest early?" I heard him speaking and I didn't response so he closed the door right away.
It didn’t grasp me that I had fallen asleep for over three hours. When I got down, I noticed the girl there who was busy mopping the floor. She was a little frightened when she looked at me. 
"You’re startling me, Ma’am." As she behaved towards me, I instantly smiled at her. She thought I was Athena.
"Why?" I curiously asked her, but she sounded nervous. "Is there something wrong with me?" I asked the maid once again.
Athena doesn’t have a nice approach to these people like this woman. She feels annoyed about entertaining others who seem not have the same standard like us. It was her attitude since we were children. She hates talking to someone of this kind of housemaid.
"Maybe you’ll do the same thing again as before, Ma’am!" The maid said that caused me to laugh at her. She absolutely made me amused but I paused.
"I won’t do that to you again." As I responded mildly to her until the photos distracted my attention which are displayed over there.
"It interfered me that I should look for the stuff." As I pointed out in the pictures, "You may continue." I ordered, then she bobbed her head in return and went on cleaning the entire house.
Slowly leaning my eyes towards the picture frame, I saw Greige and my twin sister were happy together. I am just curious about them so it get me here. Later on, I went to the kitchen to get something to drink. I feel thirsty.
"Are you looking for Sir Greige, my dear?" It was the voice that came from a middle-aged woman named Yaya Celeste.
I turned to her after returning the jug of water from refrigerator.
"No, Yaya." I just gave her a quick answer but in a soft tone. Why would I?
"If you want to see him, he’s in the mini-office talking to his clients." Yaya Celeste clarified it to me, but I disregarded.
However, I didn’t expect to meet Greige here in the living room with his forehead furrowed.
"Where have you been? I was looking for you earlier in your room, and you weren’t there. " He directly asked me, with his face on grim. He seems like a concerned citizen now, uh?
"In the kitchen, to drink some water." I answered.
"Come on." As he touches my arms, it struck me with astonishment. Unexpectedly, he just pulled me to sit down on the sofa and turned on the TV and the DVD player. So this is it.
"Mama and Papa are not here, so I’m sure we’ll enjoy ourselves within three days and we will do what we want." He said crazily while pressing the remote. Neverthless, it is annoying. Doing what we want? He is a jerk.
"They are having a business trip to Cavite and they will have stayed there for three weeks." He uttered these words while staring intently at me.
We are currently watching Train to Busan, and I have already seen it before. As far as I remember, it was a Korean science fiction film.
Afterwards, one of the housemaids interrupted us.
"Sir, here are the snacks that you ordered to be prepared." As she said whom I don’t know her name, but she is almost the same age as Yaya Celeste. 
When the meal arrived, I exhausted by craving for fries. I’m not anymore ashamed to take it because my stomach is actually growling. This crazy guy smiled mischievously.
"Hungry uh. Alright, just eat haha." Look, he laughed at me very loud. I don’t want to think that I will not eat fries for the rest of my life.
Later, I was feeling thirsty, so it stood me up. Greige have noticed with curiosity on his face.
‘‘Hmm, I’ll need to get something to drink." Intending to change the ambience between us, too. I had his attention now, and it had been diverted.
"No. You don’t have to do that. Just sit and wait there. I’ll call Jinky and she could be the one who get us a drink." 
"Jinky!" He called in a loud voice, which was really enough to be heard by the woman, and finally she hurried over to us. 
"Please get us some juice." He requested authoritatively. Jinky followed him for about an instant.
We have finished the movie and this crazy guy beside me has already stood up in front and started speaking again.
"I’ll take a bath first and you too." As he was pointing me out. Then, he went upstairs towards his room.
There’s a lot of information here that can help me understand through my twin about the reason she got into an accident. We have not been together for so long. That’s why I know nothing about her anymore, especially the state of their relationship. I have only known about our likes and dislikes, which are still the same since childhood.
After I checked her laptop, I turned it off, got the clothes from my knapsack. Ready to take a shower. 
I thought about Troezen while scrolling my Facebook. It couldn’t stop myself from rolling around in bed because of the feeling of emptiness.
I tried to shout for a minute to internalize my emotions. It feels like I want to give up on this situation.
In a few minutes, I will have to log out of my account. It started to alarm me when the door suddenly opened. Greige seemed serious again. He’s a very unpredictable guy. You don’t know if when he is happy, sweet, kind and mad, etc.
"What’s happening to you?" He spoke as he observed me the same way while surrounded his eyes in this room. I thought he heard my voice yelling.
"Don’t you know how to knock on the door before you open it? What if I’m naked here and you’ve seen everything?" I tried to scold him. This one doesn’t have good manners. It seems good to squeeze him into pieces.
I know he is worried, perhaps, but it is still not good to open a room without knocking on the door.
"Do I have to? Then what if I see you uncovered?" My eyes widened and it frustrated me. I threw back the pillows from my bed to him. Wow! He is not just crazy and moody, he is also a maniac.
"Do you need anything, so you came here?" I asked him with yet resentment in my reaction.
"Nothing." He didn’t answer and left after all. It’s disgusting.
I reached the garden to look at some flowers. Suddenly, the gardener feels my presence, the reason he approached me.
"You’re here, Ma’m Thena!" I heard the familiar voice of Yaya Celeste. 
"Did you know those flowers miss you? You haven’t visited them here in a long time." She was referring to the flowers that are here beside me.
My sister and I love this stuff, like taking care and planting them around so that they can grow more and be propagated.
I just smiled and then replied, "I am really busy these following days." It was a lie again, just to keep the secrets about what happened to my twin and about my deception. 
"It’s okay, but here I am now." I avoid her eyes and just stare at the plants because I don’t want her seeing me obvious.
"I have to leave you here, my dear. I’ll need to prepare for our dinner." She said, then turned around and walked, but I called her.
"Can I help you, can’t you?" I insist and she looks astonished.
"To cook? Really?" She wondered.
Thena doesn’t enjoy cooking because she doesn’t really know how.
"Yes, I’ll help you cook." confidently answered her.
"No. You hate that, right? You didn’t know how to cook." She is still wondering and confusing.
"I already know it. Yaya Helena recently taught me when Greige is not here. I have also studied and practiced cooking at home too. "I lied. 
"Really? OK, you may now follow me. " She said, then we walked towards the kitchen.
