CERENE POV
Ever since I was a child, I've been living with my mom. Simula pagkabata hanggang sa magkamuang, kaming dalawa lang palagi.
I was five years old when mom would suddenly just hug me and cry while embracing me. I'm too young to understand her misery. 
I still also remember those times when I rebel because of not having a father. Nagbulakbul at nabarkada. I thought mom was keeping my father away from me and I didn't like it! 
She always cried when I demanded her to tell me about my father. I'm young and naive. I didn't understand why I should have to live with her. 
When I was sixteen, she finally told me the reason. Naghiwalay ang parents ko and mom can't live without me. I got hurt of course, I didn't know mom was hurting too! 
Palagi rin akong naiinggit sa mga kasama kong may mga kapatid. I've never experienced having a cat fight, being teased and to play with a sister. I want to have one too. So badly! 
But an incident happened. 
During one of my concerts, Rebecca, who I work for, was so upset and I didn't know why! 
"I swear to God one more mistake Cerene.. One more mistake and I will kick you out of my agency!" kulang na lang sumabog ito.
I internally groaned. "I'm sorry I'm late if that's what makes you upset. My mother needs me" I said, pinapaypayan ang face ko with my hand. 
"You're late? Don't you dare lie to me. You tried to run away. Do you know how much money I will lose if you black down" Pasigaw niyang singhal sa akin.
"Calm down! I told you I just arrived. Mom needs me so I was late. I will never back down" I said while gritting my teeth. 
"Are you kidding me? We found you in the Airport for Goodness sake! Why are you there?" 
Ugh! Nakakainis. 
The argument lasts for the whole concert! Rebecca always glanced at me with her scrutinizing gaze. 
I didn't get her point! I never went to an  airport but she keeps on insisting. 
I love her but I wanted to strangle her at the same time. She's stressing me out! 
"Do you have a twin?" bigla na lang nitong tanong sa akin. Paalis na sana ako dahil tapos na ang concert. 
"No, I'm an only child" Nilagay so sa bag ang cellphone ko ng makitang maiiwan ko ito. 
"Do you wear contact lens?" tanong na naman niya. 
I mentally groaned. I don't know how many times I'm tempted to rolled my eyes. Kung hindi lang ito ang may ari ng agency na ito, kanina ko pa ito nairapan.
"I never wear a contact lens" Annoyed but I have to seem not. 
"You really did not go to the airport?" hindi parin makapaniwalang tanong nito. 
Here we go again! Gusto ko ng sabunutan ang sarili ko sa sobrang stress! 
"No, I told you. I was in our boutique" Gosh! I'm so near at raising my eyebrow so badly. 
But then, she told me something unbelievable. She told me why she was upset.  She met someone just like me and thought I was her. The girl upset her dahil sa pagsagot sagot niya dito. 
Wow, I thought! She must be a tough girl! Rebecca hates people who disrespect her. 
And guess what? Turns out, that tough girl was indeed my twin sister!
Kanina ko pa ito iniiwasan na dapuan ng tingin. Kung saan saan na lang napapadpad ang mata ko sa pag-iwas sa kanya. 
Kung bakit ko ba sinama-sama ang isang to? Nakakainis! 
Nanliligaw sa akin si Vince and he's always been expressive towards his feelings. I don't want him to be expressive today though. 
I don't want my sister to know na nililigawan ako nito. I don't even want her to see me holding-hands with Vince, let alone hugging. But apparently Vince was obsessed with hugs. 
Nasa Bolky kami. Danica invited me here to celebrate her birthday. Kasama sina Allyana at Hannah. Hindi ko alam na kasama pala ang mga boyfriend nila! 
Kung hindi lang sana nasira ang kotse ko, Celene would never be here. I'm aware if her hatred toward my friends. 
My car broke yesterday and I haven't had the chance to repair it.  Celene would never ever allowed me use her car! Ever since nalaman niyang involved ako sa racing, hindi ko na ito nahawakan pa. 
So, isinama ko siya and I'm regretting it now. Kanina pa niya hinuhuli ang tingin ko. I wanted to strangle Danica for not telling me! Now I'm in a hot seat and it's stressing me out! 
"Babe, you look stressed" bulong ni Vince. 
I elbowed him. 
"Don't you babe me! Can't you see my sister?" Sabi ko habang nakasara ang bibig. I'm doing my best to act like nothing is happening between us to avoid suspicion. 
Nakita ko from my peripheral vision na nanliliit na ang mata ni Celene! That's only meant she smell something fishy! 
Oh Gosh!! Don't let this day be my doomed day. 
"Vince, where's your cousin?" Danica asked inpatient. 
Nabaling dito si Celene at nakahinga ako ng maluwag. 
Ever since Danica met Knight, she felt instantly for him. Palagi na lang nitong kinukulit si Vince na ipasama ang cousin niya sa mga lakad namin. 
"He's outside... But I'm warning you Danica.. You wouldn't want to talk to him. He's been pissed since yesterday and trust me, you wouldn't want to be the receiver of his wrath" babala ni Vince dito. 
Saktong pagkatapos ng babala niya, dumating din ang cousin nito. Danica giggled automatically. From the look Knight is giving us. Halatang wala nga ito sa mood. He's indeed pissed off. 
If I were Danica I wouldn't even try catching his attention.
"What are you doing here?" Celene suddenly asked. It kind of puzzled me kung sino ba ang tinatanong nito kaya napabaling ako dito. Napabaling din lahat ng mga kasama ko sa kanya at nagtataka sa inasta nito. 
The question was intended to Knight na kararating lang. 
My sister can be scary sometimes. And I think now is the time to be scared. Namumula ang pisngi nito dahil sa galit. 
Knight was shocked! No, scratch that, we are all! 
"I invited her girl. What's wrong with you?" Danica said annoyed with my sister. Bumaling ito kay knight at niyakap. It's not her first time hugging Knight pero hindi parin nadadala. Knight always pushed Danica away from him. 
But this time, hindi ito  kumibo. Nakatitig lang ito sa kapatid ko. His eyes express concerned at the same time pissed. I saw his jaw move and I sense trouble!
I look at my sister. Nakita ko kung paano ito napangiwi sa nakikita. She then stood and stormed out. Sa pagitan ng dalawa siya dumaan at binangga sila. 
Napasinghap ang mga kasama kong babae. 
Sumipol naman si Jake. I can't help not to rolled my eyes! Can't he feel the tension? 
Hindi pa nakakarecover si Danica sa pagbangga dito ng sister ko nang itulak ito ni Knight paalis sa kanya. Agad niyang sinundan ang kapatid ko. 
It confused me as to why on earth Celene did that thing?  
Susundan ko na sana ang kapatid ko ng hilahin ako ni Vince at niyakap.
"Vince, let me go! I need to find my sister" reklamo ko. Kinakalas ko ang kamay nito sa bewang ko.
He sighed "Don't... Knight is in foul mood.. I don't want you involved" hinigpitan pa nito ang yakap sa akin. 
"What about my sister? I can't just ignore her " Sinusubukan ko paring tanggalin ang kamay niya sakin. Nang hindi parin ito kumakalas ay kumulo ang dugo ko. Gosh! I don't like it when I want something and I can't do it! I hate controlling people for god sake.. 
Sinipa ko ito gamit ang takong ng four inches heels ko. Naramdaman ko ang pagbaon nito sa binti niya. 
"Shit" banggit nito. Agad niyang natanggal ang kamay nito sa bewang ko at halatang tinitiis ang sakit. 
"Just stay here. I'll find your sister" he said angrily but I ignore it. Agad itong umalis at sinundan ang dalawa.
"Does your sister know knight?" halata sa boses ni Danica ang inis.  I just shrugged 
I'm stressed and I don't want to talk right now! Pag nagsalita pa ako, I don't think matatawag pa yong talked. More like sigaw at singhal. And I don't want to add more problem. 
"I think they know each other" Allyana said. Nilapitan niya si Danica at tinapik ito sa balikat. Nasilayan ko ang napapailing na si Hannah probably hindi makapaniwala sa mga nangyayari
Danica started to cry. Na witness ko lahat ng kabaliwan niyang ginawa para lang mapansin ni Knight kaya hindi ko ito masisisi kung umiyak ito ngayon. It must be frustrating to her, lalo na't birthday niya pa ngayon. She perfectly plan this day to get Knight. 
I think Knight knew my sister and there is something happening between them. 
Nang mapansin ni Jake and Andrew ang tension ay nagpaalam silang hanapin si Vince at ng kambal ko. 
Now I'm torn between my sister and my friend. Danica seems to hate my sister for stealing her Knight. 
Ughh! Lord let the damnation fall to Knight. 
The moment Jake and Andrew left us, awkwardness prevailed. All we heard was the sobbing from Danica. No one seems to break the silence. 
Nakayap lang dito si Allyana. Hannah silently sipped her wine, obviously confused as to what she should do. I on the other hand paced back and forth habang nakapamewang. I don't think stress is the right way to describe what I felt right now. I can't find the right word for it! 
"I'll leave you guys, I need to find my sister" I didn't wait for their reply. Agad akong umalis. 
I know Vince and the boys were looking for her but damn! The building tension in our tent was too much for me. I know hindi nila lang sinasabi pero they think kasalan ito ni Celene. And I can't seem to agree. This is Knight's fault!
Kulang na lang malibot ko ang buong resort sa paghahanap sa kapatid ko. Pumunta ako sa parking lot para makasiguradong hindi ako iniwan nito. Thankfully my sister's car was still there. 
Palinga-linga ako habang naghahanap. It's not that hard to looked for her, hindi naman gaano karami ang tao dito. Pili-pili lang ang nakakapasok sa resort. This resort is owned by Vince family kaya madalas kami dito. We're one of the VIP! 
Malapit na ako sa isang cabin ng marinig ko ang umalingawngaw na boses ng kapatid ko. 
My damn heart skip a bit. Lord, she's scary! 
Nagtago ako sa gilid ng cabin at sinilip ang dalawa. Knight and Celene was talking, I mean shouting. 
"I hate you and your damn asshole face" pumipiyok na sabi ng kapatid ko.
"And may I know why?" mahinahong tanong ni Knight but maririnig parin ang pagkapikon nito. 
"Just shut up, and leave me alone. How dare you show your face? Didn't I tell you to just get lost and never show up?" ani Celene
That alone prove na may something nga sa kanila! 
"Dammit, was it because of Danica? Are you jealous again?" Knight roared.
For the love of God... Jealous? Si Celene? That's the hardest thing to believe. 
At walang hiyang Vince! Kulang na lang magpatayan ang dalawang to pero hindi parin nila nahahanap. Kung hindi pa ako umalis sa tent wala parin palang nakakahanap sa kanila?
I was about to get between the two ng may humila sa akin. Gosh! I almost fell. 
I'm going to strangle whoever this person is, how dare he pull me! 
"Babe... what are you doing here?" bulong nito sa tenga ko.
Ohh... It's Vince? Humarap ako dito at humakukipkip, tinaasan ko din ito ng kilay.
"I'm the one who should be asking that, what are you doing? You're supposed to stop these two from killing each other!" I snapped. He immediately covered my mouth and dragged me away from Celene and Knight. 
"What the hell!"  gulat kong singhal. "Vince! What are you doing? My sister needs me" I scream hysterically ng tanggalin niya ang kamay sa bibig ko. Nakikipag hilahan na ako dito para lang mabitawan ang kamay ko. 
"Don't f**king go near them! Knight is not in his right mind" Pagalit niyang sabi. 
"What about my sister then? I'm not just going to stand here and do nothing" I shrill angrily 
"He's not going to hurt your sister!" 
Tuluyan na kaming nakalayo sa cabin na kinaroroonan ng dalawa. Binitawan niya ako at pinaharap sa kanya. I'm still in the process of transmitting what he said. How would he know knight will not hurt my sister? 
"Listen, you wouldn't want to go there I promise. Knight will never hurt your sister" pagkalma niya sa akin. 
"How would you know that?" naguguluhan na tanong ko. My stress started to make me teary eyed. 
Vince hugged me and patted my back. That seem to work. Medyo umayos ang lagay ko. 
"My cousin was frustrated yesterday and it's because of your jealous sister.. She's giving him a hard day!" natatawa na sabi ni Vince. I elbowed him in the stomach. How dare he accused my sister. 
"My sister isn't a jealous type girl" I corrected him. She's never been in love. She's always been a girl with school and home routines. Other than that, she didn't give a damn thing. 
He chucked. "Alright then" He can't seem to disagree.
