Chaerin

 

 

Here we are sitting on a sofa while our twins are sitting opposite to us. We were suppose to have our dinner but uhm something went wrong. You see, Franchesca saw us doing something and when I mean doing something it doesn’t mean it’s ahm, it’s bad. She overlook what we are really doing

 

“Okay first things first, why are you hiding and crawling on the floor?”I heard Dara asked, I saw Jeiven nudged his sister’s elbow, I smiled secretly at these two

 

“Well, ah. We’re hungry mom and it’s been hours since you said that the food will be ready in an hour!”Franchesca answered

 

“Yeah I know that but you think I’ll accept that as a reason why I saw you and your brother crawling and peeking at us?”

 

“That’s the only way we can know if the food is ready. Knowing you mom, once you see us or feel that we are about to enter the kitchen you’ll say ‘Jei! Chesca! I told you to wait blah blah blah’” i giggled after what i heard but then stop when I saw Dara looking at me

 

“Whatever Fanchesca, you two are not listening to me when I said something..”Dara said

 

“Sorry Mom, it won’t happen again but you don’have to worry, I didn’t saw anything..”Jeiven said

 

“Oh come on Jei, don’t act like you’re an angel. You’re the one who thought that they were doing something after we heard them..”Franchesca butted in

 

Oh boy, here goes the twins

 

“I did not! It’s your idea to crawl so they won’t see us!”

 

“Because you asked me what are they doing!”

 

“Enough!”Dara said, the two stops and i think it’s time for me to interfere

 

“Okay guys, apology accepted but don’t do it again. It’s not right to listen to others private moment..”I said but I felt Dara’s eyes on me

 

“I mean private chat, talking, whatever you want to call that..” i added

 

“Okay mom, sorry again..”Franchesca said, Dara stand up and walks towards the two

 

“You go back to your mom and wait, when I said WAIT you wait, okay?”she said, the two nodded their heads and give their mom a hug, they both run to me and give me a hug too

 

“Dinner will be ready in 30 minutes, promise..”I said, the both smiled and starts to walk to their room, when they are out of sight, I heard Dara sigh and saw her slump her body on the couch

 

“I can’t believe it!”she said, i wanted to laugh at her but I know this is not the right time for that

 

“What?”i asked

 

“That-that they saw us! In that position!!”

“Well yeah i felt awkward after but we’re not doing anything..”I answered and sit beside her

 

“Yeah I know that but you know kids. I even heard Franchesca said she thought she’s going to have a baby brother or a sister! Can you believe that?!”I laugh a little and said

 

“Kids minds these days are so advance..”

 

“I won’t disagree on that..”I look at her and saw her lean her head

 

“You take some rest, I’ll finish cooking and set up the table after..”

 

“Nah, I’ll help you but I’ll do the table this time..”

 

“Okay but how’s your back?” I asked

 

“It’s okay, I guess..”

 

“You want me to check it?”

 

“Yeah but not here, I don’t them to see us in an awkward position again..” she answered

 

As you can see, we’re not doing IT. I was about to pour the hot water in the sink when it slipped on my hand and the water spill over Dara’s back.As we both panicked, I pulled her pants down while she pull her clothes half on her body, we forgot that there were two evil twins inside the house

 

“Better remind me to put cctv cameras inside the house..”I said to her

 

“Why?”she asked

 

“To know where are they if I did something they shouldn’t see..”I answered and heard Dara’s laughter from behind

 

 

 

 

MEANWHILE

 

“Thanks for having my back there Jei, I really appreciate it!”Franchesca told her twin brother, her sarcasm wasn’t ignore by him

 

“What do you want me to do huh? Tell lies??”Jeiven asked her

 

“Well you could at least say that we’re not doing anything or we’re listening to their conversations!”

 

“You know I’m not good at lying! That’s your job!”

 

“Whatever!”

 

“Whatever too!”Jeiven slump his body on his bed while Franchesca rolled her eyes at her, they’ve been quiet for a minute when Franchesca speaks

 

“I still wish we will have a new baby brother or a baby sister..” she said

 

“That’s not gonna happen my dear sister..” Jeiven answered

 

“I know and we better stop talking about this because they might hear us and thinks how does an 8 year old twins knows this stuff..”

 

“Internet.. Blame it on the internet..”Franchesca laughs at him and so as Jeiven

 

“Sorry for not helping you out..”Jeiven said

 

“it’s nothing. You may annoy me sometimes because of you being the good twin but I know you’re always there to help me when I’m in deep trouble..”Franchesca answered

 

“You bet! So do you have any plans later tonight?”

 

“Plans for what?”

 

“Mom won’t sleep with Mommy Chaerin and how can we let them get back together if we won’t let them feel comfortable again with each other?”

 

Franchesca thinks for a while about what her brother said, Jeiven’s got a point, sometimes grown-ups need help from kids in order for them to be a little bit okay

 

“Okay I g got a plan. Give me your laptop..”Franchesca said

 

 

 

FRANCHESCA

 

I’ve been searching and searching for uhm the past 15 minutes on what to do when our parents have some problems but all i read was ‘you can’t do anything and let the grown-ups handle it’

 

“Geez! I don’t believe that! We need to you know interfere!” I said

 

“So how can we do that huh?”Jeiven asked me

 

“I don’t know, I’m still looking..”

 

“But what if Mom doesn’t love Mommy Chaerin anymore?”

 

“Hey don’t say that!”

 

“I’m just asking and I used the word IF..”I look at my brother and I can tell that he’s worried. We don’t want to live having a broken family, no one does

 

“We need to think the positive side okay? Everything will be alright..”

 

“I hope so Chesca, I really hope so”I smiled at him and look at his laptop again, a chat window pop-up and I saw our classmate introducing us to her new friend

 

Shiela : Hey Jei! Chesca! I want to introduce you to someone

Jei : Who? It’s me Franchesca

Shiela : Wait I invited her to join our chat

Jei : Is she your friend?

Shiela : Yes but she and her mother moved to New York a few Years ago and stay there for good

Jei : Oh okay but why you want to introduce her to us?

Shiela : Because you look like her as in a photocopy of yours

 

I shook my head at Shiela, my face is unique and I’m the only person who has this beautiful face, I heard the ding again and read Shiela’s message

Shiela : Here she is!

Shiela : Faith! Where are ya dude?

Faith : Sheez can’t you wait?

Shiela : I’m sorry, I’m just excited!

Faith : You are always excited

 

I smiled at what I read

Shiela : Anyways, Faith meet my friend Franchesca, Chesca this is my friend Faith

Jei : HI Faith! Nice to meet you!

Faith : Nice to meet you too, Why are you using your brother’s messenger?

Jei : Oh you notice eh? I left mine downstairs and I’m grounded tonight

Faith : Wow that !

Jei : You bet

Shiela : Click on her picture and you two will see the resemblance, okay guys brb!

 

I did what Shiela told me, I clicked Faith’s picture and even I saw the resemblance

 

Man! She looks like me! Front, back, left and right! How did that happen?

 

Faith : I didn’t know that I have a twin

Jei : Or should I say that we are triplets

 

I poke my brother to let him see the picture but Jeiven being Jeiven, it doesn’t matter to him

 

Faith : Yeah maybe we are separated from birth

 

I laugh hard and lay on my stomach then type in some words

Jei : You from NY?

Faith : Yes! How about you?

Jei : We’re from LA but we are here now in Hawaii which is 5 hours behind from you

Faith : Cool! Well yeah we’re about to go to bed but I told my two moms that i want to watch some movies

Jei : You have two mommies?

Faith : yeah, why?

Jei : I have two mommies two!

Faith : No way!

Jei : No kidding

Faith : Well you are lucky as long as they are not like mine

Jei : Why? What’s the problem?

Faith : Right now, they are acting like a love sick teenagers. If only i could lock them inside a room, i will do it!

Jei : And force them to talk their problems out, whatever the reasons why they got separated?

Faith : How did you know that?

Jei : We have that same problem, well they are not acting that way but our biological Mom keeps on pushing herself away from our other mother

Faith : So you guys doing something in order for them to get back?

Jei : Yeah! We alreadt ran away, it works a little but still the same

Faith : Cool! Maybe I’ll try that one too

 

“Jeiven! Franchesca! Dinner will be ready in 10!”I heard Mommy Chaerin said

 

“Be there in a minute!”I yelled back

 

Jei : I wish I can think of anything for tonight

Faith : Hmm, i can help you with that. My parents are quite busy watching while secretly looking at each other. Is it bad to throw pillows at them?

 

Oh I like this girl!

 

Jei : Go ahead! Or might throw a little hard than that

Faith : We’ll do that later, so are you ready for our plan?

Jei : I am but make sure we can do it in less than 7 minutes

Faith : No problem! Here it goes..
