BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

KEN’S POV

I woke up early the day after Alexa’s birthday. Let me rephrase that I simply stood up from my bed but did not sleep. I could not believe what happened yesterday. Rather than be stressed about yesterday, I decided to stand up from my bed and look at clothes on my cabinet since Alexa, and I will meet later. I was looking for what I should wear when I heard my phone ring.

” Hello?” I said after answering the call.

( Hello, sir Ken, I was the one you asked to check on Miss Sandra’s grave. I wanted to let you know that Miss Sandra’s parents asked some men to remove the tomb since they said their daughter is still alive. )

I was stunned because of what Sir Kanor said. So, I was right that Cassie and Sandra were the same person. But why did she come back just now?

( Hello, sir, are you still there?)

” A-ah, y-yes. Thank you very much for informing me,” I was stammering as I answered him.

( All right, Sir. Thank you!)

Sir Kanor did not wait for me to respond because he had ended the call already. I let out a heavy sigh. It will be a big problem if Sandra is the first one to tell Alexa about our past. I harshly touched my face because of the frustration I felt because of that thought. Since I could not do anything but tell Alexa the truth, I decided to take a bath already, so I could meet Alexa. As I was about to enter the comfort room, my phone suddenly beeped. It means someone texted me. I get my phone to check. Unknown number? Who could this be? I opened the text message.

Sent by Unknown Number: Love, it is me, Sandra. I get your number from Tiffany. Let us talk, please.

I frowned because of the message I read. I let out a heavy sigh because I knew that I needed to make things straight with my past with Sandra before I talked to Alexa, especially since they were twins. How idiot I am to not dig in about their identicality?!

Sandra was my girlfriend way back in the States. Then, of course, I know that she has a twin. But I did not know if they were identical since Sandra only mentioned her as her twin, but she did not ever mention her twin’s name even once. I am also wondering now why Sandra did not have the same surname as Alexa. That is why I did not know that Alexa was Sandra’s twin when we first met. Even the information I have about Alexa had a confidential mark on her siblings. But since Sandra was declared dead, of course, I need to move on.

” Ken, are you not going to school?”

I came back to my senses when I heard Caleb’s voice. I looked at him. I frowned more when I saw him peeping at me at the door. What is wrong with this guy?

” You should go ahead. I will go somewhere first before going to the classroom,” I replied.

” All right. I need to fetch Rhea, too,” Caleb responded and closed the door right away. Look at that. It seemed like his motto now is girls over friends.

I shook my head because of the way Caleb acted. I went to the comfort room to take a bath. After almost fifteen minutes, I had finished preparing myself, so I immediately went to the school by means of driving my car. After I parked my car in the parking lot, I went out to find Alexa.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

” Love,”

I stopped walking when I heard that familiar voice. I looked around and saw Sandra leaning against their car. I walked to approach her.

” Love,” She called me once again and attempted to come closer to me. Maybe she wanted to kiss me on my cheeks since she used to do that before. However, before her lips touched my cheek, I avoided her.

” What is wrong?” She innocently asked. I saw that she was hurt because of what I did.

” Please stop calling me that. Alexa will not appreciate it if she heard you calling me that way,” I calmly told her, but in a serious manner.

” W-what? I am your girlfriend. Why should I not call you that way?” She was hurting when she asked me and attempted to hold my hand.

” You were my girlfriend. But not anymore. It did not mean you came back; you still have something to hold on to. You were declared dead two years ago,” I seriously told her and removed her hands from my hand.

” But you still love me, right? ” Sandra hopingly asked me while trying to reach my hand again.

” I love your twin. I love Alexa,” I admitted. I know she will get hurt, but many things have changed since she was declared dead. It includes my feelings toward her.

” Do you love her? Or you just love her because we exactly look the same?” Sandra bravely asked me.

” Cassie, stop,” I said with full authority because I could not take seeing the woman I loved in pain.

” Cassie? You never called me like that,” Sandra bitterly smiled at me. I also saw how she clenched her fist. It seemed like she was doing her best not to cry, even if she was teary-eyed already.

” I would ask you once again, Ken. Do you love her? Or you just love her because you were seeing me in her?” She asked again while calming herself.

” Sandra,” I could not help but call her name because I did not know how I should answer her question.

ALEXA’S POV

” Ken,” I could only call his name because of what I heard. Cassie and Sandra were the same person.

Ken seemed shocked because he jumped slightly before looking at me. On the other hand, I saw Cassie slightly smirking at me, but it immediately faded.

” A-alexa, a-are y-you t-there s-since e-earlier?” Ken stammered while asking me.

” Is what I heard right? Are you really called Cassie as Sandra?” I courageously asked him while looking into his eyes.

” L-let m-me ex-explain,” He said. However, my focus shifted to how Cassie put her arms to Ken’s arms.

” Lex, did you two know each other?” She asked while smiling.

” Y-yes. H-he w-was t-the o-one I wanted to introduce to you,” I responded. My mind was messed up right now.

” How? How did you meet my boyfriend?” She still smiling when she asked me that. Wait

” Bo-boyfriend?” I stammered.

” Yes, he was the one I kept talking about. My boyfriend from the States,” She replied. My lips opened slightly because of what Cassie said. My tears started falling too. My eyes looked at Ken. It seemed like he was shocked, too, because of what Cassie said.

” Sandra, stop!” Ken rebuked her with authority in his voice, then he removed Cassie’s arms from his.

” Why? Wait, why are you crying?” Cassie asked in confusion. She looked at Ken and me one after the another. However, I remained silent as I cried. My heart seemed crushed right now because of the pain.

” Sandra, could you leave the two of us alone?” Ken calmly asked but firmed too.

” Why? Is there something I did not know?” Cassie innocently asked.

” Please,” Ken stated. It seemed like they were talking through their eyes.

” Fine, but call me, okay? I could not wait to introduce you to our parents,” Cassie smiled while saying those words. Ouch! Why did I let myself be in this situation?

I felt more pain when I saw how Cassie kissed Ken’s cheeks in front of me. Even if Ken looked shocked because of what Cassie did, I could not believe the truth I had heard earlier. Cassie approached me.

” Call me once you and my boyfriend are done talking, so we can go home already,” She whispered firmly in my ears while holding my shoulder tightly. I nodded my head because I did not need her here since Ken was the one I wanted to talk to.

” Okay, see you later, Love, lex,” She bid her goodbye and walked towards the parking lot’s exit.

A few minutes had passed since silence surrounded us after Cassie left. Because of the silence, you could hear my sobs echoing all over the place.

” Lex,” Ken called me and tried to reach my hand. I outrageously wiped the tears from my eyes.

” Do not come closer to me,” I told him with an authoritative tone.

” Alexa, just let me explain, okay?” Ken begged. I saw the pain in his eyes.

” Is what Cassie said earlier true?”
