The Disputes Among Us

Miraya and Artemis were still in their mood on having a staring contest. Meanwhile, Marcella and Ariel have seated about three feet away from each other. Ariel glanced at Marcella a second before saying something to Artemis.

"Arte ... let's sit and talk!" instead of Ariel sounded commanding Artemis more than asking. And Artemis did what he's been ordered. He left Miraya with a flash glare on her then sat next to Ariel's left side. Miraya then also did the same way by remaining on the right side of her twin sister, Marcella.

"Okay, so, let me get this thing straight. Are you both twins and trying to switch positions on the date?" asked Ariel, straight up to a point.

"Are you blind? Of course, we're twins sisters!" Miraya spurted her words curtly to Ariel.

"So, you are admitted you are an imposter?" Artemis jeered at her statement quickly. Miraya glared at Artemis and ready to punch him.

"I'm not lying to anyone. I couldn't go to the date because I've got something else to do last night!" Miraya insisted on her reasons, but Artemis heard it differently. He started to mock Miraya because of her unstoppable denial's reason.

"You just admitted that you switched your places. And you did that because you think I wouldn't have recognized you. You intended to lie in the beginning!" Artemis spoke too much for accusing Miraya. He pointed her mistakes and blamed her.

"Are you accusing me as an impostor?" Miraya was provoked by Artemis's accusation and berserk about it. Ariel sighed hardly and rubbed his forehead on the right side, watching both of them ready to dispute. Artemis could not wait to make a single day without an enemy. Now before they even could discuss things, they would be in a fight.

"I believe I said it!" Artemis added more fuel to Miraya's wrath. Miraya's eyes popped out more than before, and it started to worry Marcella.

"Arte ... please don't make it more difficult. We are going to talk decently here and not to insult each other!" Ariel warned Artemis for his attitude towards the twins. Artemis peeped at Miraya then turned his head away to avoid the anger that started building on him.

"We need to know what exactly has happened here," Marcella spoke with her lower voice at the end. Ariel nodded and looked upon her.

"Let's start with introducing ourselves. My name is Ariel Reiden, and this Artemis Brajamohan," said Ariel politely. He kept staring at Marcella and vaguely smiling at her. Now it was the twins' turn to do the introduction.

"My name is Marcella, and this is my twin sister ... Miraya!" Marcella opened her discussion because Miraya seemed to chose to be quiet.

"So how to distinguish both of you?" Artemis curiously asked Marcella. His tone was so different towards her—it kind of softer and more friendly.

"I have short hair, and Miraya has long, beautiful hair, as you can see," replied Marcella softly. Miraya scoffed mockingly to Artemis by adding uttering something to annoy him.

"He can't see because he's so blind even to distinguish our hair length, so you have to explain it to him. So sad, I thought our father said that he's a genius. Now I can see how smart he is!" Artemis straighten his backbone and start raging. He almost like a dragon ready to spit the fire through his nostrils.

"YOU ..." he pointed at Miraya with a red face and raging breath. But before it's getting more serious, Ariel intervened.

"Okay, calm down, everyone! We shouldn't argue." Ariel tried to warn both of the parties.

"Don't you hear what she said about me? How could you let her do that!" Ariel nodded understandingly, but he has to rationalize everything so they could make a good decision.

"Such a baby!" Miraya mumbled by herself while turning her head to another side, pretending. This time Marcella took her part. She asked Miraya to stop provoking Artemis.

"Please calm down, Baby. We're trying to fix the things here." Miraya pouted her cute lips and refused to see Artemis. Good Miraya always listened to her sister. Therefore, she chose to say nothing.

"I'm sorry for what just happened, Marcella." Marcella smiled thinly and nodded. Ariel similarly responded to her and asked her more questions.

"So would you like to tell me what was happening before? Why do you switch yourself?" Marcella glanced at her sister a while before telling them the story.

"I want to help my sister by reviewing Artemis Brajamohan. Our father came to us a few days ago and gave the engagement proposal. At the same time, Miraya had something she must sort out, so she asked me to do the date." Ariel and Artemis paid attention to Marcella's explanation.

"Our attention was to know who was Artemis Brajamohan. Our father never gave us any picture of anyone. So I've no idea who is who." Ariel nodded understandingly.

"Why do you want to know about Artemis Brajamohan? I think you can neglect the date. I mean, whats' important!" Ariel added by shrugging his shoulders. Miraya thought it was time for her to say something. She took a deep breath and looking up at Ariel.

"It's so clear that we've been forcing to do this. If I could obey my parent's orders, then I would love to do it. But my dad wants me to go to the club to meet that dumb!" she pointed frustratingly at Artemis. Now, Artemis could not handle the insult anymore. He stood up and curtly pointing his finger at Miraya.

"I warned you already, do not mock me! You won't like for what I'll do to you!" Ariel also arose next to him and grabbed his arm so he won't reach Miraya.

"Arte ... do not indulge a girl like that!" Artemis put his hands on his waist and turned to Ariel.

"Why are you defending them? They are scamming us!" Artemis protested to his best friend.

"They are not the only ones who are playing this switch-up. We are also guilty, and we tricked them the same way!" Ariel made recognition of what he has done.
