[HARRIET]

"Facadé Fitness" mahinang basa ko sa pangalan na nakalagay sa itaas ng entrance gym. I was kinda left impresses cause it wasn't just carved rushly and simply but it was carved beautifully and delicately in a wood, taking the time, up-close the details of the crawling vines with small flowers around the letters perfectly fitted the aesthetics of the fitness gym

Warm and cozy similar to a home. My eyes shifted to the sides, plastered on the wall different stories of every individual making me wonder what was the owner like? I tilted my head to the side softly chuckling to my own thoughts bago tinignan ang kambal na busy sa pag-aaway

"Wala ba kayong pasok kambal?" nabaling ang tingin ko sa nakakunot-nuong receptionist, I can't tell if she's happy or sad seeing the arguing twins. but it made me laughed at how she addressed the Twins but Kayla nudged my arms so I suppressed my laughed by covering my mouth

"Wala" Kaia replied actively shaking her whole body, "she's too excited..." I commented and the receptionist just give a side glance didn't react that much and continued reading the book she's holding 'Wuthering heights' that's an interesting read. I'm curios about what's next on her list of book reads. I looked around the placed, my first impressions seems right, it's very spacious other than the facts of it being a typical fitness gym with lots of sweat and grunts from people using the heavy equipments. This one kinda gives off a different vibes

"We're here to get a membership for our Ate" Kaia initiated the conversation now leaning closely at the counter happily talking to the respondents whom I think is in her mid-20's. She's wearing a formal white polo shirt and I'm guessing tucked in a pants.

"Who?" aniya saka iningat ang paningin sa direksiyon namin ni Kayla.

"uh.. Hi? I'm the cousin" I awkwardly wave saka sapilitan na tinangay si Kayla papalapit sa kanila.

She eyed me for a minute before smiling widely and enthusiastically handed over a paper and a pen "ahem... cough* Good Morning Ma'am, I'm Eva, the receptionist, please fill up this form, do you have any ID with you?" I blink several times feeling overwhelmed to her sudden energetic greeting "ahh.. yes, I have one... here" i hastily took out my wallet where I keep all of my cards. Upon receiving my ID, I confusedly looked at the twins when Evan suddenly pouted and frown staring at it "Unfair Nasaan ang hustiya sa National ID ko, ba't maganda sayo, your only 26?" I didn't quite heard what she said kaya liningon ko siya ng nagtataka "Sorry... Pardon me but I didn't hear it what you said" I muttered in a low voice nahiya ako bigla pero inilingan lang niya ako bago pabalik-balik ang tingin sakin at sa ID

"haaayyy only two year younger" huminga siya ng malalim na parang pinagbagsakan ito ng lupa, I look at Kayla who's not paying attention kaya kay Kaia nalang ako tumingin na bahagyang tumawa sa naging reaksyon ko "just don't mind her, she always talked funnily. Her name is Minerva pala, just call her Eva that's what she is mostly called here" Kaia said instead, I extended my hand for a hand shake nang bumalik siya saglit pero nabitin lang sa ere dahil nakatingin lang siya sa kamay ko sabay iling "What did I do?" I mouthed Kaia knowingly looked at her

"She's like that... especially to pretty people like us" nakatawang turan ni Kaia na inilingan ko nalang, Kaia grew up to be confident that's good, a soft laughed left my mouth genuinely smiling at Eva

"Come on Eva, My ate still adjusting here"

"sorry about that..." I apologetically uttered at Minerva na ngitian ako pabalik before offering her hand "No.. No No it's nothing.. nfirrieij3" aniya but I couldn't hear what she said at the end cause a man suddenly called her from the back but she shook my hand

"l-et me process this for you first" Eva said saka umalis dala-dala yung form at ID ko

"Kaia, let's just wait over there" sabay turo ko sa bench na malapit sa receptionist area
