00:00Hello, everyone.
00:01My name is Bru, and this is my story.
00:03Before I continue, please like and subscribe to MSA.
00:05I was brought up by a single dad who worked very hard
00:08to give me a good life.
00:09We didn't have much, but dad and I had each other,
00:11and it was enough.
00:12Always work hard and successful follow.
00:14Got that little birdie?
00:15I'll say yes if you buy me ice cream.
00:17Dad and I were close, and we would talk
00:19about everything under the sun.
00:21Well, everything except mom.
00:23Every time I tried asking dad about mom,
00:25he would avoid the topic like the plague.
00:27And eventually, I stopped asking.
00:29Growing up, I fell in love with music.
00:31It was my dream to become a singer,
00:33and at 19, my dream finally came true
00:36when I got an invitation to audition
00:38for a famous all-girls group, the Masked Minx.
00:41These girls were super famous,
00:42but no one knew what they looked like
00:44because they always performed with a mask on.
00:46I was pretty excited, but the only thing was to convince dad.
00:50But I've never been away from you,
00:52and you're too young to travel alone.
00:53What if you get in some trouble?
00:55Then come with me.
00:55I wish I could, but I have a work trip coming up.
00:59I just know if I had a mom,
01:00it would be easier for both of us.
01:01She could take me on this trip,
01:02and you could go to work, dad.
01:04Well, I guess I am that unlucky.
01:06No mom and no trips sucks,
01:08but I know you're doing your best, dad.
01:10Hey, we're very lucky to have each other.
01:12I guess I can make some time and take you,
01:14but you have to promise that you'll quit
01:16bringing up these stories of your mom.
01:17I promise.
01:18And just like that,
01:19dad and I were on a plane to London.
01:21The band had arranged for us to fly first class,
01:24and when we finally arrived,
01:25I was excited to be welcomed at the airport
01:27by a personal chauffeur.
01:28Soon after, we reached the hotel where we were staying,
01:31and it was also the venue for the auditions.
01:33I hugged my dad and entered the audition room,
01:36but it was empty.
01:36Just then, someone tapped on my shoulder.
01:38I turned around and almost passed out.
01:41It was a girl, and she had the exact same face as mine,
01:44only more polished and prettier.
01:46Okay, I know that we have at least seven people
01:49who look exactly like you,
01:50but dude, this is beyond freaky.
01:52Who are you?
01:53Firstly, please don't touch me.
01:55I hate being touched.
01:56Too many germs.
01:57And secondly, I am Ava, and I'm your twin sister.
02:00My what?
02:01Ava went on to tell me about how we were twins,
02:03and that our parents separated shortly after we were born.
02:06She was raised by our mom,
02:07while dad stayed back in America with me.
02:09She was a singer too,
02:11but recently she discovered that she had laryngitis,
02:13and her singing career was basically over.
02:16I was the one who sent you the mail and called you here.
02:18I have a very important tour coming up,
02:20and since I can't sing, I need you to take my place.
02:23You'll get a lot of money, and I won't lose my contracts.
02:25If you do a good job, maybe I can get my friend in the USA
02:28to sign you for his record label.
02:30Okay, slow down.
02:32Can we take a step back?
02:33You're one of the masked minx, and you want me to sing for you?
02:37That's right.
02:38Are you crazy?
02:39I just found out I have a twin sister,
02:41and my head is already spinning,
02:42and I'm so close to having a panic attack.
02:46One second.
02:47Even if in some parallel reality this whole thing was true,
02:51I would still have to tell my dad about you.
02:53Your dad, I mean our dad, can't know that we've met.
02:56I do not want him to get suspicious.
02:58Mom has always told me how dad has hated her all her life,
03:01and now I don't want him to take you away.
03:04Please, Ru, help me.
03:05How do I even know you're my sister?
03:07Ava showed me a copy of my birth certificate and a few pictures of us together as babies,
03:11but I couldn't trust her.
03:12So before I agreed, I placed a condition.
03:15I'll agree if you make me meet Mom.
03:17Deal.
03:17Dad was waiting for me in the hotel lobby, and I felt so angry by looking at his face.
03:21How could he hide such a big truth from me?
03:23I wanted to confront Dad, but I also wanted to meet Mom,
03:26so I decided to stay quiet and go with the flow.
03:29I went back to my room and dozed off.
03:31And hours later, I was woken up by a frantic call from Ava.
03:34I need to see you.
03:35Now, come to the lobby and I'm sending a car.
03:37I got dressed urgently and did as Ava asked.
03:40We met at a restaurant where Ava walked in with the most gorgeous guy on her arm.
03:44She introduced him as Jason, her boyfriend.
03:46And I just couldn't stop staring at how perfect he was.
03:49I need you to convince Dad to pay $100,000 to my manager.
03:52Yeah, he's very cute.
03:54Wait, sorry, what?
03:55I need money, and I promise you will get back much more money
03:58when I get you signed on at my friend's record label.
04:00Why do you need so much money suddenly?
04:02To make arrangements for my tour, why else?
04:04Mom spent all the money I made on my treatment and I have no savings left.
04:08Please, if you do this, I will take you to see Mom.
04:10I promise.
04:11I was a little taken aback, but I wanted to see my mom so desperately.
04:15So, I agreed to help Ava out.
04:17But Dad would never let go of such a huge amount.
04:19So, my only other option was Grandpa.
04:21He owned several big shopping malls all over the country.
04:24And he always told me that I could ask for anything.
04:27I called my grandpa and explained the situation to him.
04:29He was so happy that I finally met my twin.
04:32He apologized for not telling me all this time and promised to help with the money.
04:36The next day, Ava let me practice with her background singers and dancers.
04:39And I got such a rush out of it.
04:41She even let me sign some autographs for her fans on her behalf.
04:44And I loved being in the spotlight.
04:46After the practice, Ava and I were on our way back when I asked her if I could meet Mom.
04:51Not yet. Mom just had a minor heart attack last month and seeing you might put her into shock.
04:55So, we need to wait.
04:56Meanwhile, could you be a doll and get me some more money?
04:59Why?
05:00I've already spent enough, Ava.
05:01I need to see Mom now, or I will call off the deal.
05:04I asked the driver to stop the car and walked out feeling confused and angry.
05:08I wanted to cry because I had just lost my grandpa his $100,000 and I still hadn't seen my mom.
05:14I was outside the hotel when suddenly someone yanked at my arm.
05:17Jason, what do you think you're doing?
05:19Listen to me carefully, Ru.
05:20You have to get out of here.
05:21Ava and her mom are bad news.
05:23I heard Ava's mom talking about how they're going to drain your dad's finances.
05:26I think you're a really nice person.
05:28So please, just tell your dad the truth and go back home.
05:31And why should I trust you over my own family?
05:34Because I know them, I've been with Ava long enough to know when she's lying.
05:37And her mother is no saint.
05:39She's my mom too, and I think I'm old enough to know what's right and wrong.
05:43So thank you, but I'll take it from here.
05:45Saying that, I turned around and left.
05:46But Jason's words kept ringing in my head.
05:49I couldn't sleep a wink that night.
05:50And the next morning, I decided to finally tell dad everything.
05:53But he was nowhere to be found.
05:55So I went downstairs and saw him talking to a strange woman in the hotel lobby.
05:59I walked up to him, and when he saw me, he turned white.
06:02What are you doing here?
06:04I could ask you the same thing.
06:06This is Claire, your mom.
06:07I am so sorry you had to find out like this.
06:10And I know you met your twin.
06:11Your grandpa called me after Claire called him demanding for a million dollars.
06:14We will be heading home tomorrow.
06:16I was just saying goodbye.
06:17So you're saying goodbye, and I don't even deserve a hello?
06:21How is that fair?
06:22Don't blame your dad, sweetie.
06:23Don't call me sweetie.
06:24You know why I asked Ava to meet you?
06:26So I could stand in front of you and ask you how you could abandon your own child.
06:30I could only afford to bring up one child, and I randomly picked Ava.
06:34Not that it was a good decision.
06:35She's pretty much useless now.
06:37Your absolute disregard for humanity amazes me.
06:40And thank god I never got a chance to know you, or I would be the only kid in the world who hates their own mother.
06:46I turned around and ran to my room.
06:48An hour later, dad showed up and told me the whole truth about how Claire had been using the
06:52excuse of raising Ava alone to get money from both my dad and grandpa, and they kept it as a secret to protect me.
06:58You could have told me the truth!
07:00You would have gone behind her anyway, little birdie.
07:02I know you that much.
07:03Dad and I left for home that night, but I couldn't go back without meeting Ava.
07:07So I asked her to meet me at the airport, and surprisingly, she showed up.
07:10I introduced her to dad.
07:11He was so happy, and he hugged her and shed tears.
07:14Ava and I sat down, and I told her about what mom had said.
07:17Mom didn't raise me.
07:19She gave me up at birth, and I lived in an orphanage.
07:22I only got back with her a few years back when someone from the orphanage told her about my singing talent.
07:26And since then, she's been trying to use me as a money-making machine.
07:30I hate her!
07:31Then come with us.
07:32Dad and I would love to have you.
07:34I would love to, but I can't.
07:35I still have so many debts to pay because of Claire.
07:38I tried to convince Ava, but she refused.
07:41And soon after, dad and I boarded the flight and left.
07:43Weeks passed, but I felt an empty pit in my stomach every time I thought about Ava.
07:48She was all alone, fighting my dragon of a mother.
07:51And I had to do something to help her, so I turned to Jason for help.
07:54I told you, stay away from her.
07:56She and her mom are crooks.
07:58My mom's using Ava.
07:59Please, Jason.
08:00She's my sister.
08:01And your girlfriend.
08:03We have to help her out.
08:04Okay, this might be a long shot, but what if we do a concert as Ava?
08:08It'll be like a face reveal tour.
08:09I know a few people who could help us find a band, and we will use social media to spread
08:14the word and see where it goes.
08:15And what if I'm not that good?
08:17I've heard you sing, Rue.
08:18You'll be just fine.
08:20We spoke to Ava, and she was on board.
08:22Jason came down the next week, and we spent days planning every second of the concert.
08:26Even my grandpa stepped in to give us a little money.
08:28Our posts on social media were very well received, and soon enough, almost all the tickets were sold out.
08:33Then one night, I was grabbing coffee when I saw Jason at the same cafe engrossed in a book.
08:38That seems like a heavy read.
08:40It's about kids who grew up in an orphanage.
08:42I was one of them.
08:44I'm sorry, Jason.
08:45That must have been tough.
08:46It was, but it made me who I am.
08:48And besides, I found a great family who loves me and adores me.
08:52You learn to find family in unexpected places.
08:55Our conversation flowed from there.
08:57We talked about our pasts, our dreams, our fears.
08:59I shared about the loneliness I felt growing up without a mother,
09:02and he spoke of the challenges of growing up without a family at all.
09:05I'd never connected with anyone like this before, and it was truly amazing.
09:09One night before the performance, I was nervously checking out the stage
09:13when Jason slid his hand inside mine.
09:15I just hope it works.
09:16I'm sure it will.
09:17And, Ru, it's amazing what you're doing for Ava.
09:20Not everyone has this kind of heart.
09:22Not everyone gets a second chance with their families either.
09:24Trust me, I'm doing this for myself.
09:26Jason came forward, gently stroked my cheeks, and I felt my face on fire.
09:30And before I could react, he leaned in and kissed me, but I pushed him away.
09:34This is not right. You're with Ava.
09:36No, I'm not.
09:37Ava and I were just dating for the public.
09:39Trust me, we mean nothing to each other.
09:41She's still my sister, and you and I have to respect that.
09:44I walked away from Jason knowing I really wanted the kiss.
09:48The family is more important, so I decided to put my feelings aside
09:51and concentrate on the bigger picture.
09:53The next night was the concert, and it was a huge hit.
09:56We collected a lot of money, and when Ava found out, she was beyond happy.
10:00That night, I slept with the best feeling ever.
10:02But the next morning, my dad shook me awake, and then he told me the most shocking news of my life.
10:07Apparently, Ava had turned down my offer to move in with me and dad, and instead,
10:12she slapped me with a legal notice for impersonating her without her permission.
10:16The only way she would take her complaint back was if my dad agreed to pay her 10 million dollars.
10:21I feel so stupid for wanting to help her.
10:23It's not your fault. I guess she's just more like your mom than you thought.
10:27I could not stop crying because I knew this was going to make me and dad so poor.
10:32I had to come up with a solution before we ended up homeless.
10:35So I decided to approach Ava, but my calls and messages went unanswered.
10:39I was running out of options when a couple of days later, Ava showed up at my front door along with Jason.
10:45What are you doing here?
10:46I ran away. I'm finally free.
10:48Free to do what? Brand me as a liar?
10:50I tried to help you, and you threatened to sue me.
10:52It wasn't me. It was all Claire's idea. Apparently, Claire had taken all of Ava's phones,
10:57and she was the one who had sent the notice in Ava's name.
11:00I'd gone back home to talk to Ava in person, but she was missing.
11:03I tried to tell her how wrong this was, but she just locked me up.
11:07But somehow, I ran away and hid at my friend's place till Jason found me.
11:11I'm so sorry, Rue. It's okay. All that matters is that now you're here and you're safe.
11:16I hugged Ava tight, and the two of us told dad everything.
11:19He got the best lawyers, and with Ava's testimony, Claire landed in jail for exploiting a minor against
11:24her will and cheating dad out of his money. She just called the house one day and begged me to
11:28take her back as our mom. I made a mistake. Please forgive me. I'm your mother. You can't send me to
11:33jail. Oh, yes we can. Just like you sent Ava to an orphanage, and just like you abandoned me and my
11:40father. Now it's time for payback, and you're gonna get yours. Dang right you will. Soon after,
11:45mom went to jail. Ava and I decided to share our story with the world, and it was very well received.
11:50We became famous and even launched our music careers. I sang and Ava played the piano. One
11:55day as we were done performing, Ava hugged me tight and whispered in my ear, Jason's here to see you.
12:00Don't worry. He told me everything about how you both are pigeonheads and were ready to sacrifice
12:05your love for me. So you don't have a problem? No, dummy. I never loved him the way you do. Go on.
12:11He's all yours. I was so happy, I rushed backstage and saw Jason waiting for me. Without thinking,
12:17I threw my arms around him and pulled him in. I know too much has happened, but I'm ready to move
12:21on if you are. I'm ten steps ahead of you, babe. I learned that sometimes the people related to you
12:27can hurt you the most, and you always have to be ready for anything.
