Loving Him

ADAM'S POV

TRINITY RESTAURANTE 9:AM

After a few years, Adam was still in his habit of not taking the departure of the woman he loved much more than his life.

"Adam, it's already 9 in the morning! What we talked about was exact eight and what on earth are you wearing? The security guard will be almost unable to let you in because you are wearing that I do not know whether you are still alive or dead.When did you shave your mustache and does your hair even visited by scissor? "he exclaimed. I was in the face of the hermit in his eyes.

"It's still early to have the words of wisdom Scott. Why did you call?" I straightly asked. I don't want to take any longer.

"Hot headed," he said that appeared to be mocking.

"You do know that these hours is having a hard traffic Scott," I said as I put my hands on my head.

"We have a mission and we need your cooperation, Adam. You were the only one I thought that could do it, "he said and there was a seemingly shared folder on his back.

"I'm quitting," I firmly stated.

"You can't be," He said that I had been cut off immediately and that it was obvious to his face.

"Serious? I am."

"Why?" he asked frowning at my statement.

"I have no appetite for this," I answer but he looked unconvinced of my response.

"It's because of her right?" he asked glancing at the ring in my finger.

"Don't involve her here," I grimly said but he just looked at me as if I was crazy.

"Adam, you're not even married! so why are you wearing that ring?" he shouted in whisper. Obviously angry about the tone of his voice.

"Look at you! you've changed. Did you think she would be happy in your state now in life?"

"In my heart we're married and I know that she's still alive Scott. I know it," I said full of hope in my voice.

"It's been 2 years Adam, two years have passed . We both witnessed the ashes so better move on," He said the he seems to be talking to a child.

"It's not that easy. I have to leave," I stated firmly making my hands formed into fist causing my knuckles turns to white.

I leave the restaurant without waiting for his response.

"I know she'll be back for me," I muttered before opening the door of my car.

MARINA'S POV

CANADA 8:45 PM

"Marina please I'm begging you!" my twin sister had been crying plea.

"I can't," I answered even though I am offended when I see her like that.

"Marina," she called while she's in tears.

"Why me Mirana? Why can't you just show up to him, your just making things so complicated and who is this man by the way? "I asked as I help her to sit.

"The man who offered me a ring," she said wiping her tears using the back of her hand.

"Adam," I don't know but my heart squirm in pain about what she had said. Adam offered her to marry him. The man that I used to love since I was a child.

"Yes"

"Then why are you hiding? Why are you spreading fake news that you are already dead? You said you love him too Mirana! why are you sending me to him?" I rained her questions that even me can't understand.

She didn't respond but instead she cried and knelled as she holds my hand. I felt sorry for my twin sister.

"Mirana, tell me please so that I can understand and maybe I could help you," I said patting her shoulder as I wipe her tears away.

She embraces me tightly while sobbing in my shoulder.

"Is it because of Marco?"

"Marco called me, he says he want us to start over," she mumbled.

"My God Mirana, I thought you've learned your lesson with that man. He cheated on you Mirana, just please open your eyes besides Adam's there to love you faithfully. Please Mirana come back to him, " It was hard for me to say those words for her but it is the right thing to do.

"I can't Marina, I love Marco that's why I need your help. Go to my place and pretend to be me. You will introduce your self as me," she said that makes my eyes widen.

"Why Mirana? Why me?" I asked , why can"t she just tell him the truth to get the out of the tangled she did.

"I can't stand his stares that I might gave away. I love him, but Marco is the one who I truly love. So if you do it, it will no longer hard for me to break up with him. Come on Marina please," she stated as she hold firmly my hands.

"Break up?" I asked in disbelief at the words she had said.

"Yes Marina, tell him that I don't love him and I don't need him," she stated as she looks desperately into my eyes.

"Don't be so hard on him. And besides he loves you and it is not fair for him for you to split up with no valid reason. He though you were dead, he though you were gone for good. Then I'll show up? What if everything will gone wrong or even more complicated?"

"Marco is a wealthy man and there's no reason for him to know that I am alive. Marina, it's been 2 years and I think that he already moved on," she said as if it's nothing to her.

"What if he's still waiting? Hoping that someday you'll come back for him."

"Please Marina, do this for me. It is only temporary that you will not endure to him," she pleaded and because of that I could not be suppressed to ask her.

"Does he knows me?" I asked even though I cant bear to her hear her answer.

"Not yet"

"When will I leave?" I asked while glancing at the mirror, I looked at my own reflection.

I will be just a substitute for the person I love.

"Next day Marina as soon as possible I will handle everything," she said and her poor appearance replaced another aura.

"Okay," I finally give in. It's just temporary and I can't last. And I hope all that she says are true.

Adam was my first love since I was 13. Mirana and him was the best of friends that time, I can't show myself to him because Mirana didn't like me to be friend by him. She says she just wanted to protect me but deep inside I know that she doesn't want me, she doesn't want to have a twin sister. I was not surprised that even now Adam doesn't know that Mirana have a twin sister and that's me.

I will never forget the first time we held hand. Mirana and him was playing at the backyard when Mirana left because she is going to prepare some snacks and juice for them.

I walked out of our room. I was tiptoeing when I was in the middle of the stairs. When I am almost near at the door someone grab my hand, my body turned stiff when I heard his voice.

"Mirana, come I have to show you something," he said full of excitement on his voice.

I immediatelypulled out my hand on his grip. I hurriedly ran into our room and ignore his calls in my sister's name.

Mirana waited Adam to leave before she walked into our room fuming. She shouted and shouted that what will happen if Adam caught her and discover she had a twin. She was very upset those days.

And now she needs my help. I could see Adam again, it was one of those I wanted but only to be the shadow of my twin sister.
