CHAPTER 1: The Beginning

= ACE =

Nanonood ako ng TV, while eating from the stress I had in School and Work. Yes you heard it right! I'm a student while working in my own company

My bad! I didn't introduce myself btw my name is Alexandria Cristle Edwards. ACE for short, 21 years old, 3rd Year Collage in the Business Management Course majored in BS in English, and the youngest child. Well because tatlo kaming mag-kakapatid. My brother and my Twin Sister are in the Philippines

I'm kinda far from them it's because I live in Granada, Spain. And I'm also 1/2 Filipino and 1/2 Spanish

I miss them so much, I haven't seen them for almost 10 years, hanggang call and messages lang kami

*ding dong* *ding dong* *ding dong*

Agad na may lumapit na maid sa pintuan, well nasanay nako eh. Papá, he doesn't like kapag kami ang pumupunta sa pintuan, because sometimes baka daw hindi namin kilala 'yun or baka may mangyari sakin. Lalo na mag-isa lang ako ngayom because my parents our in a Business Meeting in Japan.

I was waiting for Yaya na sabihin kung sino yung nandun. Until I heard her scream

"Ahhh! AZE buti naman at nandito kana ulit! Pasok pasok!" sabi ni Yaya, well kung nag-tataka kayo kung bakit nag-tagalog ang maid namin. Well it's because she's a Filipino. All of our house maids, driver, etc.. it's Papá's Decision, he said na mas maganda daw ang Filipino maids because they're responsible and respectful to others that's why

But, sino yung sinabi ni Yaya? AZE? My Twin Sister. Agad akong tumayo at tiningnan

It's her my sister, she's here. After 10 years. Nag-kita na ulit kami!

Agad ko siyang niyakap ng mahigpit na mahigpit

"AZE? Is that you?" tanong ko. Di parin ako maka-paniwala

"Yeah, surprise!" sabi nito at tumawa....

.. ng peke. Halata naman, but why? Her eyes are swollen and she looks like she's from crying

"How are you? Si Hermanò? How is he?" tanong ko, well I told you a while ago that tatlo kami

So we're twin girls, and we have our one Hermanò. Iñigo Christian Edwards, ICE for short. He's our oldest brother

Biglang namuo yung luha niya sa mata like she was about to cry, when I mention Hermanò

"I'm fine. Really fine! And about Hemanò, he didn't come he's busy in School and don't worry he's really really good!" sabi nito

Gusto ko panaman siya tanungin pero mukha siyang pagod na pagod at iiyak na

"Do you want to go to your room?" tanong ko nalang

"Yes please" sabi nito

Bago ko siya paakyatin, hinigit ko siya at niyakap

"If something is bothering you, you can tell me. And everything's gonna be fine remember that AZE. I'm always here" wika ko "Let me guide you to your room" dagdag kopa

"Thanks ACE, Let's go I'm really tired from the flight" sabi nito. Tumungo ako at umakyat na kami sa taas at ng maihatid ko to sa kwarto

What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Madami akong gustong itanong pero mukhang hindi niya ko sasagutin

I know na meron siyang problema dahil I mastered reading everyone's emotion especially in their eyes. And I master hiding behind my mask.
