"Hala, sa airport? Ba't dito, ate Aiah? Ano gagawin natin dito?"
"Alangan naman mag labada tayo dito Ate Maloi."
Maloi glared at Stacey as soon she said that, while the other two just laughed at them. Another normal day for their group's bardagan sessions.
"Mom!"
"Hello po Tita!"
Nagmano silang lahat sa nanay ni Aiah na kakadating lang din. She wasn't surprised anymore na kasama ni Aiah ang barkada nya kasi her daughter messaged her while nagba-byahe sila. Aiah's Mom then led them towards a private area, and the girls instantly understood na naka private plane ang susunduin nila ngayon.
Well, the Arceta's were certainly wealthy. It wasn't a suprise na they own a private plane.
"Psst... Ate Aiah!"
"Yes, loi?"
"Sino pala dadating?"
Maloi asked, and the other girls listened to them. Stacey and Sheena shared the same confused look that she and her Mom can't help but laugh softly at their questioning gazes.
"You'll see soon, girls. Sana wag kayong mabigla masya—"
"Ma'am, andito na po sila."
Aiah and her mom instantly stood up, a wide smile spread across their faces. Maloi, Stacey, and Sheena, albeit confused, stood up from their seats too as they faced the door.
As soon as one person entered the room, everyone had different reactions.
"Mom..."
The tall lady spoke as she hugged her mom, who was shedding some tears of joy. She smiled and wiped the tears off, not liking that her mother was crying even tho it wasn't out of sadness.
"Don't cry, mom. I'm here now. I missed you..."
"Miss na miss din kita, anak. Pasensya na at nawalay tayo, alam mo naman na yun lang ang tanging paraan to keep us safe."
"Yes ma, I understand."
"So you won't hug me, my dear twin?"
Aiah playfully spoke, her arms crossed as she stared at the newcomer expectedly. Ianne rolled her eyes yet walked towards her twin, engulfing her in a big hug, which was immediately reciprocated. Aiah almost cried too, buti na lang nagsalita ang mga kaibigan nyo.
"MAY KAMBAL KA?!"
The three of them chorused, staring at the two with wide eyes. Ianne gave them a questioning look before she realized that they were special people to her twin. She smiled at them and slowly walked towards where they were, extending her hand for a handshake.
"Juskolord ganito pala datingan pag hindi kikay si ate Aiah, ang pogi pala."
Ianne furrowed her brows at what the other girl mumbled, but she made no comment as it seemed like the other didn't notice that she heard it. She looked down to stare at her, well she really was shorter than her. Ianne thought her twin's friends were all pretty, and one of them really stood out to her— the one who just called her pogi. Cute glasses.
"Girls, this is my twin. And yes, I know you're confused, pero I said naman diba na I'll share the details after this? Let's welcome my twin muna, she's been gone for too long eh..."
"Y-Yeah, sorry ate Aiah, nagulat lang kami."
"It's okay, bebe Shee. Girls, this Marianne Empress Arceta, my twin. And Ianne, they're my fave girls."
"Hi! I'm Stacey, ate Aiah's friend and favorite pink princess."
"Hello! I'm so happy na nadagdagan ang ate ko! I'm Sheena! Nice to meet you ate Ianne!"
Ianne was surprised when Sheena suddenly hugged her. Again, she wasn't one for physical contact. But weirdly enough, she wasn't uncomfortable with her twin's friends. And this girl named Sheena was so vibrant and bubble that even tho its their first meeting, Ianne could feel an Ate's protective instinct for her bunso.
"I'm Mary Loi Yves, just call me Maloi lang."
Aiah raised her brow at Maloi's nonchalant way of greeting. For all they knew, she was the pinaka-OA sa kanilang lahat. She made sure to take a mental note about it as it'll be a hot topic among their squad. It seems like may mare-reto ako kay Maloi ngayon. Aiah could only snicker at her own thoughts.
"Nice to meet you Stacey, Sheena, and Maloi. Just call me Ianne, I know my name's too long din."
"Hala, Mom, may nagre-reklamo sa name nya oh."
"Shut up, queen."
"Ayun nagalit si empress."
The three watched in bewilderment as they witnessed a different side of their Ate Aiah. Yes, she was always makulit and goofy with them, pero iba yung nakikita nila ngayon. It was like Aiah became a master of mischief, while her twin, who seemed nonchalant, wasn't that far different.
Naku, parang ibang gulo ang dala ng kambal na toh. Maloi couldn't help but think like that as she sensed a different atmosphere.
"Oh, I guess its my turn to introduce my friends too, andito na pala sila."
And by the doorway, there stood 4 other girls. Apat na mga pogandang babae.
Wherein the twins meet again after not seeing each other for years and after keeping the other person hidden from their different lives, it was finally time for them to cause chaos together this time.
Is the world ready for chaos called "The Arceta Twins"?
"Hey Ianne, set the world on fire for me."
"You don't have to tell me twice, Queen."

"Maloi? Oh, why are you pouting like that na naman ba?"
"Eh kasi, sabi ni staku di ka daw sasama sa gala namin mamaya with bunso."
Aiah softly laughed as she felt the younger woman cling on her arm, looking at her with her brown eyes that were behind her iconic red bayoneta glasses. Maloi pouted more at her reaction, tugging at the older girl.
"Sorry loi, may lakad kasi talaga ako today eh. Actually, kami ni Mommy, may pupuntahan kami"
"Saan ba yan, ate Aiah?"
This time, nanggaling sa likod nila ang boses. It was Stacey, and beside her was Sheena, who also greeted her Ate Aiah. The four of them were headturners as they walked down the hallways of their school, yet they paid no attention to the stares as they continued talking.
Of course, who wouldn't stare at the 4 Muses. Aiah, Maloi, Stacey, and Sheena were considered the four most famous ladies on their campus. Even so, their fame did not change them as they remained kind and friendly towards everyone.
"Oh, bat curious ka na ngayon? Di mo nga ako pinansin sa chat kahapon after ko dine-cline yung invitation mo for gala."
"Yun, si tampo pala 'tong si Stacey eh."
"Manahimik ka Sheena Mae!"
"Kay ate Aiah ka lang pala titiklop ha, natimbog ka na namin Staku."
Maloi and Sheena laughed and highfived each other after successfully pissing off the princess of the group. Napatawa na lang din si Aiah na nanonood sa kanilang tatlo. It was like watching an Ate with her tatlong mga makulit na bunso.
"Seriously tho, babawi ako girls, you know me naman."
"Paano kung samahan na lang namin kayo ni tita, ate Aiah?"
Aiah was surprised at Sheena's suggestion. She hasn't thought about it yet, and hindi nya din napagpaalam sa Mom nya. But she figured out na malalaman din naman nila kung ano talaga ang importanteng lakad nya ngayon, kaya she decided that the suggestion was acceptable.
"Okay, sama na lang kayo saken, Manong will fetch me naman using our van so may big space tayo sa likod."
"YAAAYY"
The girls cheered and hugged their Ate, whereas Aiah only laughed at her fave girls, her heart filled with warmth. And so, sabay silang tatlo na naglakad palabas ng gate. Before they completely got out, Aiah gave them a reminder that left them all confused.
"I hope you guys won't be surprised sa malalaman nyo ngayon — just a heads up, this is a serious lakad. I'll share the details lang mamaya."

Meanwhile....
"Ianne, what's wrong?"
"Huh? Nothing, mikhs."
"Yeah, your shaking leg says otherwise."
Indeed, kanina pa nagba-bounce ang legs ng matangkad na babae, it was obvious that she was anxious and nervous. Her friends can see right through her. Mikha, Colet, Gwen, and Jhoanna shared a knowing look.
"And don't tell me sa lamig lang yan, you don't get cold easily, Ate Ianne."
"Just... I'm just nervous, Jho..."
Ian honestly said as she stared outside the window. They're currently inside the plane, waiting for their arrival. They were riding the Arceta's private plane, so it was only the five of them as the passengers.
"Hey, calm down ate Ianne, we're here with you"
It was Gwen who spoke, the one who rarely shows her soft side, giving a warm and understanding smile towards the eldest among them. They all know that underneath Marianne's cold exterior is a very sensitive and soft heart.
"Thanks, Gwenny.."
Colet, who was sitting beside Ianne, held her hand and gently squeezed it. Ian wasn't one for physical touches, but with the people she loves and is comfortable with, she doesn't mind. The girls smiled and just started talking about another topic that eased down the tension.
Philippines huh... I'm finally going back. I can't wait to see my Mom and that twin of mine.
