It’s not the future that you’re afraid of. It’s repeating the past that makes you anxious.

[Flashback]

 

Nana heard someone calling outside her door, knocking the door thrice. And so she hurried walk toward the door and opened it, revealing Mrs. Song who looks worried.


 

"Hello, Nanny. Is there something you'd wanted to inform me?" Nana asked calmly despite feeling that something might be wrong.


 

"Young Lady, I received a call from Mr. Minatozaki's Secretary. She informed me that your parents will come home later" and it surprised Nana, because they informed them that they will be going back from their business trip on Friday, but maybe they've finished their business sooner than expected. "And your Sister is not home. She excused to visit her friends, and I tried to contact her but it's out of reach. Sooner I found out that she left her phone on her room"






 

And Nana felt a jolt in her chest. Fear. Panicked. 




 

Oh God..


 

"Do you perhaps know where her friends' location? We could just let Mr. Choo take her home" but Nana was thinking of something.




 

Sasha's probably not on her Friends' home, they could be on some other places to hang out.




 

"I don't exactly know, Mrs. Song. But maybe I should come and help find her" Nana insisted, and Mrs. Song's face grew more worried.




 

"But Young Lady, that would be risky. It's dangerous for you to get out. Both of you" but Nana held her hand, assuring that nothing bad would happen.






 

"I promise, Nanny. We'll come back safe. I'm worried that it will take long to find her, so it's better that I'd come with Mr. Choo"




 

They shared a look for a second, worry was evident on Mrs. Song's face. After all, she sees the twin as her daughters as she was there since they were born.



 

"Promise me you two will come back safe" Mrs. Song stated. She couldn't come as she was the one managing the house, and it would be more risky if ever Mr. And Mrs. Minatozaki would come home without her presence.





 

"I promise, Nanny" she flashed a smile at the head of the maids. "We'll be home safe.."





 

She needs to bail out her twin sister. She wouldn't allow to see the latter being lectured once again. Sasha has been caught few times for escaping them, and she understood why her sister's doing that as they're always prisoned and prohibited to go out without their parent's permission. Their punishment was prohibiting them from meeting their friends, going out and locked in their rooms. It has no difference from how they love after all. Though Nana never experienced that as she was never really allowed to go out, she have witnessed how hard it was for her sister, and she felt that.





 

And so here she was, ready to go out and find her before she got caught for escaping.








 

[Meanwhile]


 

"You should really get some sleep. No offense but you look like hell"  Momo said truthfully.


 

Sasha sighed at that. "Trust me, I want to. But sometimes I can't. I have a lot of things to do, lots of thoughts in my head." She brushed her hair and looked up the small stage inside a bar, the singer was standing there playing a guitar. "I needed a break, at least just for few hours now that I had the chance to go out since my Father's not around.."



 

Momo beat Sasha from sighing. "It still amazes me how the both of you could let yourselves live like that. You and Nana barely do what you want." Momo stated sincerely and drank her glass of wine.







 

"I feel bad for Nana, she's been living her life without experiencing what it feels like living outside. And I couldn't do anything because I, myself, was in the same spot as hers. We're both tangled and tied for the fate that has been planned" Sasha's voice was low, sadness were visible on her tone as she spoke about their reality as a twin. As a Minatozaki.






 

If only they're living their life like how the others are living. Normal. Free and not hiding. Living...




 

"And you're here because you're waiting for that artist who was tasked to paint the picture of you and your twin, right?" Momo asked, and Sasha nodded, couldn't help but let out a chuckle.






 

"It was hilarious how the artist stared at me after handing out the picture and then asked me why would I wanted to paint myself with my other self" and Momo couldn't help but chuckle too,





 

"And you answered with 'I look cute in both angle and pose' and the artist really did believe your stupid lie" Momo added, snorting.





 

"Talking about that artist, she's late, and God" she face palmed, "How dumb of me that I left my phone"




 

"Stupid as always"





 

"Yeah, yeah whatever, Mo. I was just so excited to finally see the painting of us. You know how Nana wanted to have a painting of us both. So I wanted to get it as soon as possible, our birthday is coming, and you know how it is, a celebration of me with our bloodline, without her.." 





 

"Do you feel bad about it?"




 

"So bad. It's just that, I feel guilty that I got to enjoy our birthday interacting with the people, and she could only have a celebration with our family and you guys for a short time.." She smiled faintly, remembering how Nana's hidden in her room as they celebrated their birthday with just Sasha outside to show for the public. "I couldn't help her. I..” she paused for a second, her voice were quiet trembling. “I feel useless..”





 

She felt Momo's hand squeezed her hand that was above the table, "Hey, don't say that. Stop talking about my best friend" Momo firmly states, and that got Sasha smile despite of all the things.



 

"I'm your best friend.."




 

"Exactly" and Momo flashed a smile. "You can't say that. You two were struggling, living such toxic life, but hey, I know you know that you've been doing your best to help Nana, and you know she appreciates you so damn much. You guys are twins" It got Sasha's smile wider. "You two are always stronger than you think you are. You should take pride in how far you’ve come and have faith in how far you can go. You can still change the future that is ahead of you."






 

"Thank you, Mo.." Their was gratefulness, adore on Sasha's face as she smiled at her best friend. At their beat friend. "Aren't you being sweet right now?" She tried to tease and Momo let go of her hand and rolled her eyes playfully.





 

"No, gross. And don't tell Nana about that. She'd tease me for that" Momo glares at her but Sasha could only sigh with a little smile, suddenly, she felt that some of the heaviness burden on her shoulder have lessened a bit.







 

[On the other hand]




 

Nana and Mr. Choo were about to turn on the other side of the road when Mr. Choo was suddenly eyeing the side mirror. Nana followed his gaze and found a car behind.






 

All eyes are on the car. Mr. Choo was  watching alertly. Attentively. 



 

And then Mr. Choo spoke when he was starting to speed up as he drove. "Young Lady, I need you to hold tight on your seat. I'm afraid that the car behind us is following us" He tried to sound calm, but the fear on his eyes betrayed him. And so Nana followed the order, she was stiff on her seat, holding tightly at the strap of her seatbelt.






 

All hell breaks loose when the car behind them did the same, speeding and keeps following them.






 

Nana was breathing heavily. They're in a tight spot. She feared that the car behind them were indeed following them. She knows that the situation is getting dangerous. The situation is getting risky.








 

"We needed to turn the other way so they will lose their sight of our car" Mr. Choo informed and the darker road, speeding the car than normal. "You should duck your head for safety, Young Lady. We don't know if they're carrying some weapons." Mr. Choo's voice were gett
