Chapter 24: Chapter 24

---

AS usual, Agatha came here with the dish she cooked.

Agatha's house is just nearby. Exactly two houses away from mine.

Of course, she's my personal assistant, so our house should be close so that she can immediately come to me when I need her help.

I look at the dinner table to see what dish she cooked.

Oh! It's Sweet and Sour Pork, also one of my favorite. She want to spoil me because she know she will be gone for a months or maybe year. I will miss this witch too.

We ate quietly. All you can hear is the clanking of the spoon and fork.

“Today, I'm going to book a ticket for my flight to Wisconsin on Sunday” she broke the silence.

“Hmm so, you'll go to the airport after we eat, right?” I asked.

She nodded. “Yeah” she replied.

I also nodded. Silence prevailed between us again.

If Clay by any chance will be Agatha's lover, I hope he won't also cheat on her like what he did on my twin. I hope, he changed, like how his attitude changed.

Aga said that he has a cold eyes and always wear blank or catatonic expression on his fce. She said, even when he talks, it's cold and emotionless. I don't know if Agatha's just being exaggerated, or not. But if not. Well, that's confusing.

Clay was never .... like that before. I know him as a jolly person. And he is the person who's clear as the water. When he's happy, sad, angry, scared, or whatever other emotions he feels, you can really see it on his face.

I know that, because my sister and him had been together for one and a half year. Like I said, I have this bad feeling on him from the start. But I just trusted him like Xiera did, and just ignored my instincts. But, my instinct really is right from the start.

So I don't know if I can still trust that person for my bestfriend.

I smiled widely as I drive towards the airport. I remember what Xy said again. Even if she didn’t say it, I knew she was worried about me.

That's how a Xyna Devon Alegre really is, she didn't show that she really is concerned in very sweet way. I mean she don't say that she's actually concerned 'bout you.

Instead, she show that she's actually concerned with her shouts and sarcasm, like yesterday. If you don't really know Xy, you might think that she don't really care 'bout you. But, let me say you this. She actually does care.

She's not fond of showing her emotions, like concern. I know very well what she went through. I know her childhood, and that was very.... bad. Almost the rest of her life, she shown how strong she is, how she fight anyone who comes in her way, bravely. How fearless she was to face every issue. So now she don’t know, or might as well she forgot, how to show concern and worry. Because for those who are no longer used on saying their real emotions, they are ashamed. Yes, they are ashamed to show that— their actually worried about you.

But, like the other sweet children out there. They used to be sweet, they used to be caring and concern. But it is based on their own experiences, every experiences contains consequences. If you born with the love of everybody around you, you might stay as a sweet person. But if you born in an environment where people are narcissistic, then you know what the consequences will be to a child's growth. It was a big impact on their self and their future. Got it? If not, then think about it repeatedly!

When I arrived at the airport, I immediately booked a plane ticket that will head to Wisconsin at Sunday. It's 1:00 o'clock in the afternoon.

I will miss Xy. I will miss that tsundere bestfriend of mine. I will miss going to her house every morning to eat breakfast with her. But, I can't. I just can't. I can't control the urge I'm feeling to know the whole story about the past.

They say, curiosity kills the cat. But, shouldn't curiosity kills the person? Because people are curious, not cats, right? Hmm.

But apart from being curious, did I say that that man was my type?

Yeah, I've already been broken-hearted before, but I didn't turned bitter to love! Just try and try until you find 'the one'. But if it wasn't Clay, it's okay. Like Xy said, there are still many men in this world I can pick.

Hey, hey, I know what some of you are thinking. That I'm a flirt? A whore! No, you are mistaken. Let’s just say that I’m one of those women that're looking for the right man in their life. That's it! And also a woman with many exes, can't consider as slut and whores! People really are judgemental. Can't they just think, that maybe this woman's just looking for the right man for them. And unfortunately, their exes are not the one for them. Is it their sin to love? Tsk, tsk!

The problem on people's they easily judge a person just by its cover. Judge there, judge this. Judge everywhere! They like to judge. They're even not a member of the board of judges, but when it comes to judging, they seem to be even better than judges. People tend to judge immediately, and then when they are the one to judge, they get angry.

Tsk! It annoys me! I really don't like people like that. I really hate them!

Xyna

It's already evening but we're still taping. It's necessary. You know if you're an actress or an actor, you need to expect that the taping can last until midnight. Especially, those who's in a drama series.

We are about to finish this movie. Less takes, so we can finish quickly.

Maybe, by monday morning the movie will come to its end. And then it will release to public. But as far as I know, at the end of the movie, all the female casts will dance and sing, that's the closing of the movie.

And what I do know now is that we are also close to the part where the two families already get along and decided for a family truce, because my character Margaux and Dwyn's character Vince leave and hide from them. And because they left and hide, the two families were very worried about them of course. The Hutchinsons blame the Bedingfields for Margaux's disappearance and the Bedingfields also blame the Hutchinsons. But, because of the two women, Mr. Bedingfield and Mr. Hutchinson's wife, who is both the mother of Vince and Margaux, fought for the two's freedom to love each other. The two families finally opened their eyes and declared a truce for the sake of their children.

And that's what they find Vince and Margaux in a small house. They sent them home and said that they're already have their blessings on their relationship. And of course they will get married, and then at the reception on stage, we girls will dance and sing. And of course as the Margaux lead, I still wore a wedding gown there. I'm sure I'll have a hard time dancing because a gown is heavy.

But what I don't like the most is the...

KISSING SCENE!

It's awkward for Dwyne and me. We're already friends and there's this scene where we'll just kiss...not just a simple kiss on the cheeks, but a kiss on the lips? Yeah it's only for the sake of the movie. But...argh! Just thinking about it gives me chills.

Speaking of Dwyne, we've become even more closer, but we still mocked and teased each other.

At least when Agatha's no longer by my side...atleast, for the mean time. I have another friend to go to, right? It won't be boring.

Maybe I'll just put up with the two kissing scene we had there.

First, is when Vince confessed to Margaux that he loved her. And the second is the one at their wedding. You know the 'I do's' and 'You may now kiss the bride' scene.

The first kissing scene already happened. Yes it was really really awkward after that, but it didn't take too long either because it was easy for Dwyne to get rid of the awkward atmosphere by just maybe cracking a joke?

I still remember when that happened. I think that was Wednesday. Ereyesterday!
