Contraclockwise

I went home annoyed with myself. I went straight to the boxing area on our gym and I saw my twin sister doing her practice.
“Levi, punch me!” I said.
She punched me on my left cheek; she’s not difficult to talk with. I winced in pain. “You said I’ll punch you.” She said while
avoiding me.
"At least, I'm awake now." I commented while caressing my face.
“Is it about Satirical again?” she ask while staring at me.
"Who else..." I replied. “We almost do it! If only Sketch didn’t come, goodness! We’re about to do it!” I said with conviction. “Then
after Sketch left and we were the only people in the house, I look so desperate to have him! What is happening to me.”
“Are you that desperate to have a shotgun marriage with him? First, you lied to our parents that you’re pregnant and Santi is the
father then now... that?” she said then flicked my forehead.
I look down. “I lied because I don’t want to marry that arrogant grandson of Daddy’s business partner. I’m not a person who will
save the bankruptcy of that pawnshop in a market place!”
“Now I know why you are so desperate to have a baby with someone’s life suffer. Just in case the wedding will take long, Daddy
will see your tummy growing.”

“What am I going to do?”
“I don’t know. You solve it on your own.” She said. I bow down. She’s not just with the same face with me but she’s my living
conscience. “But since I love you... I thought of a plan on how you will solve this.”
I look up and smile at her. She’s called sweet tooth that everyone calls her and always been thought that she’s imitating L for
Death Note but she’s Levi-the- Strategical-Planner and she plans from A to Z and it looks like each letter has 1 to 100 from her
plans.
“If you can’t have a baby then let’s say you’ll have a false miscarriage.” She said. “But if I were you, you have to tell Santi the
truth.” I closed my eyes. How can I tell the truth to Corinthian? This is stressful.
I called Satirical because this is stressful. “We really need get married!” I said when I heard that he answered. At least, if we are
married we can do whatever we want. “I don’t to wear my gown with my big tummy and you might deny what happened to us.” I
said. May the lightning strike me from lying as long as I won’t be tied to that arrogant grandson just to save their business. “Uh...
so you really deny it?” I irrationally replied. “Satirical, do you still love me?” I desperately ask. I’m caught off guard from his reply.
“Really?” I almost whisper and I don’t know if he heard me. My knees got weak from his confession and from that I was
encourage to say the true. “Look, I’m not really pregnant and if Daddy knew about this... he will force me to marry someone else
and I don’t want that to happen.” I said. “But don’t worry, I have a plan... all you have to do is to go with the flow with me, okay?” I
smiled from his reply, I hope that he’ll do his promise. “Okay, let’s take it slow.”
I can’t help but to smile whenever he holds my hand and kiss it. My parents knew that I wasn’t pregnant after I told Santi to come
to the house. Mommy slapped me but he cover and hug me tight then suddenly kiss me in front of my parents. Since my
grandparents’ are present who’s super old fashioned that’s why Santi and I are happy and getting stronger.

We were all bothered when Sketch suddenly went missing; the brother of Satirical but it didn’t take long but what’s shocking
when Santi said that we should go to the hospital. I saw Wisdom who’s inside the room of Keith. I pulled Wisdom outside the
room to talk to him. “What are you doing here?” I asked.
“Just getting some news.”
“News for?”
“What Sketch knew about happened to Rackie.”
I was about to ask when I heard Santi shouting.
“Are you out of your mind, Sketch?” Santi yelled at his brother. “You made us all worried then now you’re going to beg to save
the person who was the reason why you are here?”
Wisdom went it. “Excuse me, it wasn’t Rackie’s fault why your brother was hospitalized and from what Sketch said... the brother
of his girlfriend got mad from unknown reason because he doesn’t want to say.” Wisdom irritably said.
Before Santi rebottle, Keith talk first. “Timmy, please help Rackie. If it wasn’t for her help, we... I’ll be the one that is missing and
not her. She’s severely injured from pulling us up from the cliff.”
I nod. “I will see what I can do to search for Rackie.” I said.

Santi pulled me to talk to me in the corner. “Don’t you dare go without me knowing where you’re going?”he warned.
“If I do that, what will you do?”
“What the! We’re getting married so don’t do what you did before.”
I smiled at him. “Don’t worry, that won’t happen again.”
I pulled Wisdom to come with me. “Where are we going?” he asked.
“Ride your car, you’ll send me to the house and there we’ll talk about how we’re going to search for Rackie.”
Who I need to talk to is Leviticus to have some plans while I need Zechariah for defence and Ephesians for spying. For now, our
mission is to find Rackie safe and sound.
“I think she’s with that guy.” Wisdom said with anger and he’s obviously holding back his emotions because he’s holding the
steering wheel so tight.
“Chill, we the Archangel Sisters will help. Remember, we can do impossible.” I said.

“Yes, I know. So, what is the payment regarding the help that you’ll be giving?”
“Nothing! Keith, I mean Sketch is going to be a family so I’m going to help as a family. I just don’t know how my sisters will ask
for the payment for their talent fee.” I replied with a smile, all I’m sure about Levi might help without anything in
return.
