BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

I could not help but smile while combing my hair and facing the mirror in my room. I could not believe that Cassie was really alive and she was with us now. I could remember what happened on my birthday yesterday.

* FLASHBACK *

After Sebastian and I left the event hall, we approached our parents and Cassie before we entered the elevator. The bodyguards of our family followed us until they reached the door of my father’s hotel room. When we entered the room, my brother helped me sit down on the sofa. On the other hand, my father did the same with my mother and sister. Only loud sobs were heard inside the room for a while. Then…

” Cassie, my daughter. What really happened to you? How come you are alive?” My father asked in confusion but in a calm manner. I wiped away my tears and looked at Cassie.

Cassie let out a heavy sigh before answering my father, ” I am sorry, Dad. I recently remembered who I am. A couple helped me with everything,”

” Ca-cassie, where were you this past two years?” My mother asked while massaging Cassie’s hand.

” I was on the States, mom. It was where I had my medical treatment sponsored by who helped me,” Cassie replied while wiping her tears.

” W-why? W-what happened to you?” My mother stammered while asking. There were a lot of questions running through my mind that I wanted to ask Cassie, but I could not do it since I still did not know if Cassie hated me.

” Well, when the car I was in with my girl kidnapper fall on the cliff, my face was damaged. Thankfully that I have my picture on my wallet, so they helped me to have a surgery to fix the damage on my face.” She sadly narrated.

” We should thank those who helped you. Where are they?” Our father asked.

” They are not here anymore, Dad. Grandpa died six months ago, and grandma died 3 months ago,” Cassie replied with teary eyes, so my mother hugged her. It seemed like she used to call those who helped her grandma and grandpa.

” Hush now, dear. You are safe in us,” Our mother comforted her. I did not know if it was my imagination or if I really saw Cassie’s grin, but it faded instantly.

” Princess, ” I heard my brother call, so I looked at him, but he was looking at Cassie.

” Sebastian,” Cassie called him too. Our brother stood up from where he was sitting. He hugged Cassie after approaching her.

” I am really glad that you are alive. I am sorry I was not there when you need the most,” Sebastian sincerely told Cassie.

” Do not worry about me anymore, Sebastian. The most important here now is we are whole, right Alexa?” Cassie stated and looked at me. I did not know, but there was something strange about how she looked at me, but it vanished immediately. Weird, maybe it was my imagination. I gently nodded to respond to her question.

” What? Aren’t you happy that I am here?” Cassie asked. Our parents, even Sebastian, looked at me.

” N-no, t-that w-was n-not t-the ca-case,” I stammered.

She smiled at me and asked,” then what?”

” I simply thought that you were angry to me,” I sadly replied and looked down.

” What are you talking about? We are twins, right?” I felt that she was approaching me. She held my chin and lifted it until our eyes met each other.

” I am sorry, Cassie,” I said with a teary eye.

” Sssh, you grow old already, yet you are still a crybaby. Are you really my twin?” She jokingly asked after wiping my tears. I hurriedly hugged her and felt she had embraced me back. I could not believe that my twin was really alive.

* END OF FLASHBACK *

” What are you smiling at?”

I came back to my senses when I heard someone ask. I looked at her through the reflection in the mirror.

” Nothing, Cassie. I was happy that you are here,” I smiled at her. I put down the comb I was holding and faced her.

” Me too, Finally, I can get back everything,” She said while smiling. I did not know why but her smile had something strange meaning. Still, I did not bother to think about it.

” So, let’s go?” She asked. That is when I realized that I would bring her to school since she wanted to meet Caleb and Ken.

” Ah, yeah. Let us go,” I said. I took my bag from my bed and put my arms around her arms.

Cassie and I went outside the house together. The driver sent us to the school since dad and mom left early to arrange Cassie’s grave. I also think they will have public announcements as CEOs about Cassie being alive.

” Cassie, you stay here for a while. I looked for Ken first.” I said when we reached the school’s parking lot.

” Sure, I cannot wait to finally meet him again,” Cassie excitedly replied.

” Huh?” I could not help but frown.

” I m-mean, he was there on your birthday celebration yesterday, right?” She stammered a bit but gained her composure afterward.

” Ah, yeah.” I answered while shrugging off what I noticed.

” You should go now,” Cassie instructed. I simply nodded, then I went outside the car.

After I exited the parking lot, I hurriedly went to the classroom to look for Ken. However, I failed because I only saw Rhea and Caleb there. I walked towards them.

” Where is Ken?” I asked Caleb after I approached them. They seemed shocked because of my sudden appearance.

” You are already here, Beshy. About Ken, he was not here yet,” Rhea replied after coming back to her senses.

” Did you not come together in the school today?” I asked Caleb.

” Well, he said I should leave first since he will go somewhere before going here in the classroom. But maybe he was at the gym. It will have a big possibility that our coach called her since he is our ball captain, and he have some duties to fulfill,” Caleb replied while shrugging his shoulder.

” Oh, I will look at him there,”

I did not wait for them to respond anymore and hurriedly ran towards the gym. I need to hurry because knowing Cassie, she hates waiting too long. I am simply afraid that he will not like Ken if I took so much time to bring him to her. When I arrived at the gym, I did not see Ken, so I had no other choice but to approach their coach to ask.

” Good morning, Sir. Is Ken not yet here?” I politely asked him.

” Oh, Miss Alcantara. It is you again. Well, he is not here yet. Their training was scheduled for later in the afternoon,” the coach explained.

” Is that so? Thank you very much, sir,” I bowed to him before I left the gym.

Where is he? I took my phone from my pocket and tried to call him, but his line was out of the coverage area. Hmm, maybe I will introduce him to Cassie next time since he was not here on campus. I sent a text message to Ken first, asking him where he was. Then, I decided to go back to the parking lot, so I could send Cassie home.

I did not know the exact reason why I felt something strange in my heart while I was walking toward the parking lot. I felt like someone may suddenly attack me out of nowhere. Though I know the people who kidnapped Cassie and me are now in prison. Even my father’s rival in the business industry was sent to jail since they were the mastermind of our kidnapping. I took a deep breath and forced myself to shrug off those thoughts. I smiled when I saw Cassie outside the car. However, my facial reaction changed when I saw her with Ken. Wait, did she meet Ken already?

” Do you love her? Or do you just love her because we exactly look the same?” I heard Cassie ask Ken. Wait, am I the one they were talking about?This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

” Cassie, stop,” Ken said with authority in his words. Wait, are they fighting?

” Cassie? You never called me like that,” Cassie smiled bitterly at her. Wait, did they know each other?

” I will ask you once again, Ken. Do you love her, or you simply see me on her?” My world seemed to stop when I heard what Cassie asked Ken.

” Sandra,”
