SHANA
Here I am in front of the event, my sister Zari supposed to be the one walking in the catwalk. I should not be in here but my kind-hearted personality pushed me thru. I'm kind of nervous because it has been a long, long time I did it.
I dress the last part of the show so it will lessen my feeling of uneasiness. Jake helps me to be natural. He knew what I'm feeling at the moment.
"Just try to relax, okay?" He reminded me and I nodded.
Moments later, models started to go on stage. I was already calm since I'm the last one to walk.
Then my turn, "Go and take it easy, okay?" Jake said and I smiled.
In front of the people no one knows the real truth but as I walked towards the front audience, my eyes were widely shocked because I saw my boss, the new CEO I met the other day was watching.
I calmed myself not to panic because we were both looking into each other's eyes. I hope he will not recognize me.
*Before the actual day of the show. *
As I approached towards my unit, I saw Jake in front of my condominium door waiting and he looked tense. I did not extend my time at work. Because of some problems regarding my sister, I have to settle it first. All I know that they were in Paris these past years for her career being a model.
She goes to our hometown during Christmas and New Year only or if she does not have, jobs schedule. I know how she loves being model. She is consistently busy since she chosen her career now.
"Hey!" I greeted as I was near him. "Let us talk inside." I said, key in the password of my door.
We both go inside as soon as the door opened. We both did not say a word as we approached towards my living area. I put down my things on the center table and sat down. Jake sat down too.
"Okay, shoot!" I said as my intro. "Tell me what happen and why are you really here without Zari?"
Jake gave me a heavy sighed. "Zari has been weird lately. Though, she did her jobs professionally in all shows or shootings but after finished all she just ditched us."
I raised my eyebrows. "Does she do this all the time?" I asked.
"She does if she has a boyfriend but not ditching us like this." He confessed. I know my sister if she is in love. I do not know which one but she never goes to a point by not reaching out any of the people beside her.
"Does she have recent guy with her? I mean, you can see her with the same guy recently." I asked again.
Jake nodded. "Yes, they met at the Enclosed Wheel racing competition three weeks ago; she was one of the models who participated during the events."
"So, she got a lover over that event." I sighed. I know my sister does not go out with some guys randomly. She has some taste with every guy she met or wants to be with. She may be liberated but she makes sure they have the same feelings. "Now that she was nowhere in sight. What has to do with me then?"
"We have a fashion show tomorrow night and we already signed up the contract. We already were doing practice for a couple of months. If this will cancel, we have to pay the damage." He said, looking at me without blinking.
"So?"
"You have to help me, her. You have to do the catwalk." He declared and my eyes were blinking. "That's the reason I contacted you because I know you are near." Acting pity in front of me.
"What? Come again!" I said confusedly.
"Oh, come on Sha, you know you always help us with Zari. You did it before why not do it again please." Jake begged kneeling in front of me. "We will be going to pay millions if you will not help her."
I shook my head. I always the substitute of Zari's modeling when we were in college but that was only emergency situation because she was hospitalized back then.
"That was different and it was unexpected situation for her." I defend.
"It is still right now. I could not reach her and even Leo's phone." Seeing him looking pity with what my sister have done.
"Who…?"
"Leonardo Vince Young, the champion racer." The Vince she was head over heels crush when they were in college.
"The one she…" I did not finish my sentence when I saw Jake nodded many times. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
"Please just this one." He pleaded. "We do not have any more schedules after this if they have offers, I will decline it first. I really need your help sister."
I closed my eyes and I nodded. "You owe me big time." I said firmly.
"Thank you, thank you sis. I know you will be so kind to me." He hugged me. "Do not worry I record all the practices they have done in that show."
Taking a deep breathe, shaking my head. I started to take out foods I bought when I passed by the area. I know that this will be going to be not easy but for my sister's sake.
*Back to the present time*
I acted like my sister after the show. We had little gatherings together with staffs, crews, and people involved. I wore the same style of my sister.
That is reason I hide my own identity because we are identical twins. The only differences she has a mole on the right part of her face while mine I have it at the back of my ear.
No one knows anyway as long as we were careful. But in her line of work or so does I, they cannot determine who if you are not that close to us.
