Chapter 7: Weird

Ritz

The said dinner date is already done. Currently, we're back to our normal days. Today is weekend so, we decided to hang out a bit.

We are here now on our private place. Ever since we planned everything, we bought this place just for us. It's the safest place aside from my twins' house. This place became our second house also . We have everything here so, we didn't need to go out once we decided to go here.

"Any new updates? about the marriage."

Gab asked while sipping his juice beside me.

"Nothing." I quickly said. "They're not talking about it again" I added.

“ Weird. I find it weird. ” Gab said seriously.

“Yes, and I have a guts that they are up to something which definitely bad.” I agrees.

We became silent afterwards and seriously thinking when Rizzy put some baked cupcakes on the table.

“ What are you two talking about? something serious?” She said curiously and join us in here in the sala.

“ Well, it is.” Gab rested his back on the sofa.

“ What it is?” She asked while looking at us.

“ It still no new updates about the marriage. They are not mentioning it again and we find it weird, Rizzy” I answer with a bothered look.

“ Yes, that's kinda weird. I agreed.” She said. “But, I think we should eat this first before we continued?”

“Right!”

fast forward.

I and Gab, hurried back to mansion as soon as we got a call from them. It irritates us so bad because our peaceful hangout time is ended just like that. And Rizz, my twin 'just went back to her place and will wait for our update after we settle this matter.

“ They're so irritating as hell, Gab! They do know how to ruined our day!” I hissed angrily.

“ Chill. Riri. We are here now.” Gab slightly tap my back and seriously face the door in front of us.

As soon as we get in inside the mansion, we directly went to our grandpa's favorite room, in his mini office here.

We smiled at them like nothing happened when we already facing them both. As if there's no problem but the truth is there is.

“ What's the urgent matter that we needed to discuss, grandpa? ” I calmly asked. And Gab nodded as if he agrees to me.

“ Sit down first. ” He firmedly said. And Grandma who's standing beside him remain silent as she is.

We sat down like what he said. Seconds later, he finally spoken.

“ It is about your upcoming engagement party, Riri. We scheduled it next week, so be ready. And as for you Gab, I want you to look for some organizers that can handle and organize this kind of big event. Remember to give me the final list okay? We will going to select one out of it. We want this party to be memorable, especially to your cousin. Are we clear, Gab?” His eyes goes directly to Gab after he talked.

“ Yes, grandpa. I will do what you've asked me. I'll update you once I finished searching for it. ” Gab answered without hesitation. But I knew him to well. I know deep inside he is boiling now. He really hates this situation that we were in. And I totally agree with him.

“ That's good to hear.” He smiled at us.

Seriously? He smile? I doubt it. I have a wild guess that it wasn't a smile. It's a grin. Why? Because, he win again. 'GRRRR!!!

Grandma was smiling too. It's really irritates me. They got us there. An engagement party next week? that fast? really!!!?

“ Is that all, grandpa?” I asked instead, afterwards. Keeping myself calm when i'm not really.

“ Yes, that's all. And Riri, he's staying with us tomorrow. You have a photoshoot together for your souvenirs and invitations.Behave and be ready, okay? ”

“ I will, grandpa. Don't worry too much about it. So, can we leave now? ” I tried my best to smile to them. 'Don't get caught!' I shout multiple times already in my head.

He just nod to us and smile again. We immediately walk out to his office and directly went outside to breathe some fresh air. It was really hard to keep calm awhile ago. I feel exhausted already. I knew that Gab too.

“ What now? ” Gab asked suddenly before he start the engine of his car while me is on his side, sitting comfortably in the passenger seat.

“ Let's go to her place first, Gab. We need to settle this for once. ” I smiled at him halfway. I can't smile fully right now. This situation is harder that it seems to be. I can't think straight honestly.

“ Alright!” He just said. And focused his eyes on the road. I knew his mind is busy thinking too. What could be the best plan to escape from this situation? I suddenly felt guilty because he drag into this. My mess.

And along the way, none of us bother to talk for awhile. Yes, we became silence but my mind is not and also his too. As minutes passes, we finally arrived to our destination. To my twin's place. Our peace haven.

We saw her automatically at the main door. She's waiting for us obviously. She smiled at us as soon as we get near to her. I immediately hugged her tight without further notice. I'm just too exhaust, i guess? so, i need to re-charge myself through hugging her. And instantly, she hugged me back too without asking me why instead she asked Gab. He looked at him seriously and ask away.

“ What happened?” I heard she asked Gab calmly but serious.

“ We better go inside first, Rizz” He just response.

“ Okay! Okay!” And she let go of me but her hand grab mine to go inside.

When we already in her sala. We sat down on a sofa and face each other. And for a while, we remain silence not until she spoke up while glaring at me and Gab.

“ Okay, I will ask you both again. Did something bad happened back there? And what it is? Tell me!” She's keeping her calm perfectly .

“ New stage unlocked. Next week, The engagement party will be happening. I'm really getting married HAHAHAHA ” I said drainly and laugh.

“ Next week? really? that's too fast! they're hurrying everything huh!? ” She can't believe it. It's all over her face.

“ And to add, we will have a photoshoot tomorrow, his staying at the mansion until it gets done ” I said frustratedly. Oh, I really want to explode right now.

“ What!??? ”

“ You heard her right, Rizz. ” Gab buts in and added “ And guess what? He have a task for me. Wanna know what it is? ” He cuts to add more fuel to my twin's curiosity.

“ Tell me, what it is Gab!? ” She's patiently waiting for Gab answer but her eyes says otherwise.

“ The task is to look for suitable organizers for the party. He need a list of it and pick only one among them. ” He massage his head after he stated it.

“ I don't really get it? Why you Gab? Why they assigned it you if they can just chose one without needing a list or look for those. I smell something fishy about it. Well, it just my feels. We still have no proofs ” She said then sigh deeply.

“ Looks like they're playing with us ” I added 'as I agree to her.

“ Then, we will play with them. Rizz, you're definitely 'in' to this ” Gab said then smirked at us. Oh! No! I totally get his point.

“ Me!?” She uttered then looked at us.

“ Yes, Rizz. You! ” He brightly said. His full of hope now with his newly created plan.

“ How?! ” She asked again. My twin was more confuse now.

She's keeps glaring at me but I just smiled. I knew that I and Gab are thinking the same thing. I guess its time! or maybe?

“ Just be ready, twin! ” I uttered without sounds.

Her eyes was so confused now, the way I and Gab sees it. She still not getting it. But Gab shut her confusion with his next words.

“ Go and prepare your team for your twin's engagement party ”

She set her eyes on us. My twin is looking at us ridiculously. And I can't help but to feel the excitement even if it's not starting yet. This is fun! surely it is.
