Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

"By the way, I sometimes forget that your twin's full names are like that. I'm used to calling you Ella and Elia," Sienna said suddenly when she realized that.

She did know their full names, but sometimes she forgot about it.

"But wait a minute, isn't Ella the older one?" Sienna asked again, looking at the female twins, then at the male twins. "Raphael is the oldest among you, right?" ask her to be sure.

"Yes, Rapa is the oldest," Gabriel answered, nodding his head.

Raphael snorted when he saw his twin brother calling him Rapa again.

"So why...?" Sienna did not continue her words but it was clear from her expression she was asking why Gabriella was the eldest, and not Raphaelia.

"That's because of Riel," Raphael cut in when Gabriel had opened his mouth.

The twins Ella and Elia looked curious when they heard that. They had never heard this story before. Well... they also never asked why their names were switched with the names of their twin brothers. They just think so it's different with their brother.

They never thought it had some reason behind it.

"Don't tell them," Gabriel said with a slightly red face, embarrassed by that.

Raphael snorted. Seeing his twin brother's reaction, he wanted to tell them even more. Gabriel shouldn't have called him Rapa and teased him in the first place!

"At that time, we asked our father and mother to make our younger sibling as per our request. Well... we were still five years old at the time, so we thought that younger sibling could be requested. So we asked dad and mom that our sister should be twins, and look like the two of us."

The three women laughed when they heard the story, while Gabriel just smiled shyly.

"When we found out that the babies were twins and female, we were so happy, like our wish came true, well... we were still kids."

Gabriel just smiled shyly at that. He still vividly remembered his and Raphael's reaction when their sister's gender was revealed.

"However, Riel was very disappointed once you two were born and have hair and eyes like me. He sulks for three days," said Raphael, smiling at the memory.

"Oh, I was just a kid then. I love you both very much, sisters," Gabriel said hastily before the two younger siblings misunderstood.

"He finally stopped sulking after saying that the older one should be named after his name, Gabriel. But in the end it became Gabriella so your names are a little different."

"And you follow me, want our sister to be named after your name too," said Gabriel, opening a secret.

Raphael just smiled shyly when he heard that. Well... he was still a child then.

"I didn't know you guys came up with names for us," Ella said with a smile.

"You should be thanking me because I insisted that your name should be for the oldest." said Gabriel.

"By the way, I didn't know you two were so famous that a fan asked for a photo. Come on, let's take a photo together and upload it on social media," Gabriel continued, suddenly getting excited and then took out his cell phone to take a photo with his younger famous sisters.

"You don't want to take pictures with them?" Sienna asked when Raphael just kept quiet watching his three younger siblings start taking pictures together.

"I'm fine. I don't use social media," replied Raphael who looked relaxed with it.

After they finished taking photos, the three people finally sat back down at their desks.

"By the way, why did you call us to meet, Raphael?" Elia asked her eldest brother.

"This is a family meeting," Raphael replied. "Oh, you are fine to be here, Sienna. You are like family," Raphael continued when he realized that his words might offend her.

"It's been a long time since we had a family meeting," Gabriel commented with a smile, remembering his past memories.

"Next month is mom's 65th birthday. You all have to come, and there are no excuses this time. I told you a month before," Raphael said firmly. "Moreover, you, sisters, I know that you are starting to get busy as models, but you have to clear your schedule for that day," Raphael continued, looking at his younger sisters.

"Oh! Next month, huh? I have to see my schedule first," Ella said and took out her cellphone.

"Me too," Elia said and did the same.

"No excuse. If you don't show up, I will cancel Collins' contract with you and you will never be a model for Collins ever."

"What? You can't do that, Raphael!" Elia protested when she heard that. "I have a photo shoot that day!" she continued.

"I also have to go to Paris that day," Ella said when she saw her schedule. She then turned to Gabriel for help.

"Sorry, sisters," Gabriel said raising his hands. "Rapa is the one in charge at Collins. He's the CEO after all. He shares even more than me. So... I can't help you," continued Gabriel with a smile.

To be honest, Gabriel had never expected Raphael to threaten their little sisters to that extent. However, he knew why his older brother had taken it that far.

Last year their younger sisters, including himself, couldn't come to visit their mother on her birthday and Raphael was the only one who went.

Gabriel knew that their mother must be disappointed because they rarely saw her, but their mother tried to hide it.

However, if he realized that it was his mother who was disappointed, how could Raphael not notice that?

Since kids, his older brother has always loved their mother. It seems that this year he doesn't want to see their mother disappointed on her birthday.

"You just wanted to say that, right? I have to go," Gabriel said then quickly stood up without waiting for Raphael's answer. "Oh yeah, I will definitely come, so don't worry!" Gabriel shouted after some distance from them.

Well... Gabriel can't wait for his mother's birthday when all of them as a family will be together again after a long time.
