Loving Him

MARINA'S POV

After eating we went straight to a well-known Luxury Mall. I don't know why he even brought me here.

"What are we doing here?" I asked him.

"Shopping?" he mocked.

I smack a punch at his shoulder cause him to twist in pain.

"Is my punch that hard? You're overreacting Adam."

"You're hurting your husband and that's not good," he said.

"For your information mister, you're not my husband," I said to cause him to frown and that makes me laugh.

"Yet," I added.

He gripped me tighter cause me to frown.

"Adam?" I asked.

"Read the warning," he said as he points the signage in the wall.

Warning: Watch for and treasure up the important things you have.

"I should hold you tight," he said as he holds my hand tighter. My heart skips a beat when he looks at me his eyes were full of passion and d.e.s.i.r.e.

My heart squirms in pain for I know that it was only for Mirana, his eyes, love, and d.e.s.i.r.e is only for Mirana and not for me. I am here to pretend to be her.

I wasted so much time, I had to do what was asked of me or just tell her the truth. He deserves to know the truth.

"Mirana you okay?" he asked worriedly.

"Y-yes," I weakly smiled at him feeling pain.

Adam was talking to a man in the jewelry shop and based on his appearance he speaks wealth but his face is like an old loving grandfather.

He wore simple yet elegant trousers and a black coat he looked at the right shoulder of Adam where he can see me through and smile warmly. I returned the gesture.

And they both shake their hands and bid their goodbyes. The man waved at me saying goodbye and I just bow my head.

Adam smiled as he walks into my direction and his smile is full of delight his eyes were sparkling with happiness.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"A friend," he answered holding my hand.

"What did you two talked about?" I asked confusedly.

"For now it's a secret," he said as he kisses my knuckles.

I smiled at his sweetness I hated myself for loving him it's not right for this is Adam, Mirana's Adam.

UNKNOWN PERSON

Paris 12:00 pm

I was sitting on the veranda and sipping my coffee when someone called. I look at the caller ID and I immediately answered it.

"Any news?" I asked straightly.

"Yes, Sir she's currently living with your friend," Leo answered. Leo my well-trusted investigator.

"What do you think?"

I patiently waited for his answer until he speaks. We both have the same opinion and I have no doubt.

"We are both the same. Keep searching and call me if there is any necessary," I said as I ended the call.

"Today is the beginning of pretending. If that is how she played I'll do the same. Sorry bro but I have to do this for our own sake. Poor Marina she's been used and she will be hurt. And all of this should be blamed on her lovable sister. I didn't want to include Marina here but what else could I do if her sister herself included her in her madness," I thought as the wind crawls to my skin.

FLASHBACK

"I told you she's a bitch," he furiously stated.

I ignored her presence because I knew what she was going to say was outrageous. But I am thankful that he didn't leave me even I spoke a trashed word through him.

We are still on the campus, in the rooftop. I look at the sky and closed my eyes as the tears running down. I'm broken, I cannot live without her I'd love her with all my heart. I squirm as the bruise in my elbow bleed.

"You alright man?" Rosso asked worriedly.

"I'm okay physically but here," I pointed my heart.

"It's not okay," my voice cracked. I know it sounds gay but I am truly hurt. It felt like it was stabbed so many times.

He laughed bitterly and looks at me with sympathy in his eyes.

"Man physically you're not okay look at you, you've got a nice blush on men with a purple color and a darken underliner in the bag of your eyes and a lot of bruises on your body," he mocked as he looked at the sky.

"Tell me are you studying cosmetics?" I teased causes him to laugh.

"Stars die too and they will sail again."

"Where did you pick that?" I said in a disappointed look.

He shrugged and laugh.

"I don't know it just came from my tempting mouth that every girl dream," he said.

"Forget her, be you again. Face them like you," he added.

"I will at the right time Rosso. For now, I should move forward and try to forget her even we are in the same school. In the first place it would be hurt but as the time went by it would be healed," I said as I got up.

"I'm looking forward to it," he said as he got up too.

"So are you going for school tomorrow?" he laughed.

I didn't reply as we reach our car in our private park. I don't want them to know about my life, I want them to know that I am just an average student.

"I'll take that as a, NO," he mocked as he opens his car.

"See you around Nero," he said as he starts his engine.

I just waved him not bothering to look as I open the door of my car and drove fast as I could. The only thing runs on my mind is her. I want to see her tonight, maybe she was just joking or playing around. I'll forgive her.

It was already midnight when I reach their house. I doorbell and doorbell into their gate until an old maid opened it.

"Good evening, manang Letie," I greeted her casually.

"Iho, it's already past in the evening. Why are you here?" she asked politely.

I was about to speak when she cut me off.

"You know my child is studying there too. She told me what happened between you and Mirana. That girl's behavior is very different from that of her twin. But somehow that boy also has a hidden good. But if you mean Mirana, she has warned me that 'you can't come in because she doesn't want to see you. I would love to let you enter but-" I cut off her speech.

"Manang Letie did you say, twin? She has a twin?" I curiously asked.

"Why son?" she was cut off when somebody shouted and I know it was Mirana. She even tried to change her voice but I know it's her.

"Manang! Closed the gate already! It's already past in the evening we don't accept visitors anymore!" she shouted like an old grumpy woman.

"Oh Iho, it looks like her. Sorry, just visit tomorrow," she apologized sympaticaly.

"It's alright manang I understand. Sorry for disturbing you," I said as I bid my goodbye.

"

Be careful going home," she smiled warmly before closing the gate.

I was already driving when I remembered what Manang Letie said.

"She has a twin. As far as I remember she hadn't opened a topic about her sister and I don't see her in the school. I'm going to find an answer," I said as I look at the picture of her it was framed and displayed in front. I turned it down because I don't want to see it.

And now I already know where is your twin Mirana. I will take back the pains you gave me.
