Still in the town square where the fireworks show took place. At that time Nina and I were silent and confused about what to say, until one of us dared to say.
"Why is he suddenly silent?" Nina asked me.
"I'm sorry I'm daydreaming."
"You still think this world will be erased?"
"It's true, but that's not all I think about."
"I don't think people like you can think higher."
"Don't be so careless! Just because I'm not good at school doesn't mean I can't think. Sometimes I wonder if Ruhisa can I bring her back to our world? And will I ever get married?"
I don't know what's funny, but I don't think anything's funny. But Nina laughed suddenly. More precisely he laughed at me.
"Haha.... You are this *****."
"What did you say?"
"Where can you bring Ruhisa into our world? He has no body. We're here, it's just his spirit here. Our bodies are asleep in the real world."
"Oh yeah, I just remembered about that."
"But I laugh not because of that."
"Well, then because of what?!" I'm astonished.
"I laughed because I didn't think you were thinking about marriage. I thought you were asexual. But I'm glad you're still thinking about getting married."
Until this moment Nina was still laughing. I didn't think his sense of humor was that bad.
"Stop laughing! I'm so scared to hear it."
"Sorry, sorry..." Nina tried to stop laughing.
"Have you found anyone you want to marry?"
"It." Answer Nina quickly. Very quickly he replied. Is he serious? But I almost never saw him close to a boy other than me. In addition, Nina also did not respond too much when being teased by boys in class. He's always been cold to men except me. I only realized it after we became friends. I think his ignorant nature used to be because it had a grudge against me. But Nina said it was just a way to get along with me.
"I wonder what kind of man you want to marry. So that means you're already dating?"
"No. We're not dating. She****, she's insensitive, and she's just thinking about herself, so she can't understand how I feel. It's sad, isn't it?"
"Well from your words just now you seem to have known him for a long time. You must love him so much that you want to be noticed. But I won't lose to you. I'll also find someone to marry."
"***** so vow!!!" Nina said in a tone like she was about to cry.
And within seconds those tears came out of Nina's eyes. Nina's crying? It's rare to happen. It's not rare anymore, but it's the first time. But why cry? Did I just make her remember something sad? Maybe because I was talking about marriage.
Platypk...!! I slapped Nina. It's shocking and painful. It felt like pain on my left cheek. I who received it just fell silent while looking at him whose tears were getting out a lot.
"You're so people don't be too***** dong! Sometimes think a little! Use brains!!"
"Why are you suddenly angry?"
"That's insensitive! The person I mean is you!!!! The person I want to marry is you! Still unconscious too?!" Nina ran amok while slamming her little bag that she often carries when traveling.
"Hey stop! Not good to see people!"
"Bodo very! They're not all real! How do they understand my feelings!" Nina said with a shouting tone.
"You're wrong if you think they don't understand people's feelings. Although it's just an imitation, but he can also feel."
"That's all you want to say?!"
"Anu...."
"Why do I have to like this guy?! I thought you were special...." This time Nina cried with a voice. Before, she was just crying without making a sound.
It's a joke, right? She seriously likes me? But why me? Didn't he say from the beginning that he just wanted to be friends with me?
But after I thought back, it made sense too. We slept together and hugged until morning. And we also made out. I thought we were doing it just on the basis of lust. He was kissing on the basis of love.
I was stupid for not realizing that. Logically the majority of women will not want to kiss men who are not liked. At that time Nina said that she did not mind trying to kiss me, even though the ending ended with regret.
"I'm not special. I also don't have a lot of skills that make me popular with women. Sorry to disappoint. I think a child like me absolutely no one loves you sincerely. You know for yourself if in the real world I'm only used because I'm a rich kid. Almost everyone is like me, and so I thought that no one really liked me."
"***** you!!! I told you, I'm sincere with you! But you can still think of me as much as they do! If I don't love you, I can't possibly be willing to leave my mother and sister for you. I wouldn't want you to be locked up here! I want you to come home with me and go back to school as usual. You're special to me, Rui. You're the first boy who appreciates me when you talk."
"Maybe you'll get mad if I do this again. But I don't care, 'cause I think you need this."
"......?"
I hugged him and became a public concern. Shame on me hugging a woman in front of a lot of people. But let it be because I think she needs a hug. He said he did not want to repeat this act again.
And unexpectedly, he returned my embrace. So that means he doesn't mind if I hug in public.
He has ventured to declare his love to me. Looks like I should give a response immediately. I didn't think I'd be shot by a girl. This is an immeasurable achievement.
"Nin, I'm pleased with your concern for me. Although the first impression I knew you wasn't wearing, but I'm grateful to know you so far. You've changed a lot of things for me. But honestly I don't know what to answer. I know you're good. I've never had this situation before, so I don't know what to do. I'm sorry if I can't give you the response you expected."
"You don't have to answer now. I also do not force you to repay my love. I'm just trying to be honest with you about how I feel. At least I'm relieved to have expressed my heart. All I can do now is pray for you and I to get home soon."
"I like you."
"I don't need that answer right now. Do your last job here! After that you're free to do what."
"Thank you for teaching me to be a good sister."
"We are both brothers. Fellow brothers must help each other."
We ended our embrace. I tried to wipe her tears with my fingers. He smiled and his cheeks flushed. Since I know she loves me, I think it doesn't matter if I kiss her one more time. Even I don't care if it has to be a spectacle.
Looking at me who was starting to bring my face closer to her, she immediately pushed my body as if she knew what I meant. She doesn't want to kiss me anymore.
"You're playing sosor! Not ashamed of what people see?!"
"Not that you said you weren't ashamed because they weren't real people. When I was hugging you weren't ashamed either, but why am I embarrassed now when I kiss?"
"Huggling and kissing are different things. Kissing should not be done in any place. Besides you've got guests."
A guest? Wh who?
Nina turned my eyes back. And Jeng Jeng, it turns out that behind me was Ruhisa. On his face he looks unhappy. Could he have seen all that?
Then I asked Nina: "When has she been there?"
"Pretty long, or maybe very long. I only realized it after I slapped you earlier. You better go up to him and talk to him. Like she needs to be with you."
"Why did you just say now *****?! Fear Ruhisa will complain us to my parents. Do not let me fail to get out of this world because of our behavior earlier!"
"Yes sorry. I was so emotional for you that I didn't care about Ruhisa there."
What can I do? I'm sure Ruhisa's seen it all. She must have been following me ever since Nina and I came to this place.
Closing my deep breath I ventured to approach him. We were about seven meters away. He must have heard our whole conversation. And that's why he looks unhappy. Ruhisa's too overprotective of me so she's not happy if someone else is too close to me.
Now I'm in front of him. Ruhisa was silent. He made no comment and I was confused as to what to say.
"Pretty long." Ruhisa replied slowly.
"I don't want to lose either. Once you're satisfied with her, I want you to meet me at home. I'll wait for my brother in the room." Then he turned around and went away from the area of the city square.
He said he was waiting for me in his room. How did my mind go everywhere?
Nina approached and said: "Rui, I have a bad feeling about this. From the first day I knew Ruhisa, I felt like she was just like me."
"What do you mean?"
"That you're so insensitive to be a person!!!" Nina angry.
"Eat him to the point only. Tell me what you mean!"
"Hadehh.... So Gini Ruhisa's also fond of you."
"Don't be silly! Where could it be like that? I know she always wanted to be close to me, but it was just a sister-to-sister relationship. That can be made clear when he often discusses his past memories of our childhood."
"i'm serious. It's no mistake that Ruhisa likes you more than a sodara bibliographic relationship. Rui I'm a girl. Our fellow women can guess it directly from the look of her eyes and movements. Ruhisa's treatment of you is not the treatment of a sister who loves her brother. Without you realizing that he's teasing you, that's why you're pissed at him."
"It's unbelievable. All this time I assumed she was the type of sister who was too protective of her brother. The problem is I also have an acquaintance who has a super protective sister."
"I thought so at first, too. But Ruhisa always looked cynically at me when the three of us gathered. Ruiga had to be smart about this. Let there be no more dispute between you. You guys should be able to end this matter peacefully."
"Huh basic Ruhisa. Why did that lousy grandpa give me this kind of complicated trouble? You know, it's a lot more complicated than accepting fate."
"No. It's just a matter of understanding. Let him talk well! Tell me what the real meaning of the real brother-sister bond is! I'm sure he can understand. Perhaps the last step that grandfather meant was this. Grandfather wants you to give an understanding of pity."
"You're gonna help me with this, right?"
"No, you have to do it yourself because it's your last assignment. Besides, if I had been advising Ruhisa, then it would have made the mood worse. Ruhisa already knows how I feel about you, and that means she hates me. The advice of a hated man is impossible to hear. Only you can advise him. I believe you can."
Not wasting any time, Nina immediately told me to go home to talk to Ruhisa. He said he would keep supporting me from behind and trust me.
I have to make it. I can't fail. I miss my miserable life in the real world. And most importantly I want to bring Ruhisa home with me.
...****************...
I'm getting home in a cab. Once there I immediately felt a cold atmosphere in my mind. I myself am confused to explain it, but this clearly resembles a hunch.
From the gate I walked up to the entrance to the main room. There are no signs of human activity. There should be a maid preparing food in the kitchen. Are they sleeping at this hour? My mom and dad don't show themselves here either.
I climbed the stairs to the room. He must have been in the room as he said before. When I got to the top, I saw the door of Ruhisa's room that seemed to be deliberately opened wide. Okay I'm going straight there now.
In the light is not up to standard. I mean the lighting there is very low. The only source of illumination was the small blue light he placed on the study table. It looked like a crystal ball that was glowing dimly.
"I don't think big brother came this fast." Said Ruhisa who was standing facing the window. He didn't look at me but turned his back on me.
It's freaky. Usually he tends to be cheerful and hyperactive, especially when near me. But this time he tends to calm down and like not wanting to talk much.
"We need to talk."
"Speaking about your sister's relationship with her?"
"No. But about our relationship."
Ruhisa immediately turned around and stared at me. Then there was a smile from her thin lips. I who saw it was actually scared because the smile looked cunning and evil.
"That's fascinating. I have been waiting for my brother to talk about this for a long time. So what do you want to talk about our relationship? Is my sister going to marry me?"
I was surprised by his words. He seemed to be seriously talking like that in front of me. But at that time I still wanted to think positively. I hope what he said was a joke.
"Don't be silly! How could that happen!"
"What is this brother's heart made of? Is my brother not touched by my love?"
Turns out he was serious. Why didn't I suspect him a long time ago? If you recall Ruhisa's attitude was too excessive for the attitude of her sister to her brother. I know people who love their soul very much, but for the case of me and Ruhisa it is far different.
"I need to make it clear, we're just brothers and sisters. You're the one who said that yourself?"
"What's the problem if we're brother and sister? My sister is the most beautiful to me. It's just the brother I like, and nothing else." He started to walk closer to me.
"Ruhi, this isn't funny!"
"Try being honest with yourself! Our hearts and souls are connected. I'm sure you can feel that. We are originally one, but we are divided into two, and therefore we are called twins."
An egg cell that undergoes division during fertilization. Maybe that means. But still it was no reason for him to behave like this.
"Why do you have feelings so far? This feeling of yours is off limits, you know?"
"That's because we were always together from birth. Maybe you don't have any memories of the world, but my experience with you is real. You can think of me as stupid because I believe in memories that you think are not real. But never did you think what if you were born as an alternative human being?"
Ruhisa, she....?! He knows about the alternate world?! But how can it be?! Did Zelus tell him? That's impossible anyway.
"What are you talking about?"
"No need to be covered anymore! I already know everything. Your world and my world are different. Big brother comes from the real world, while me and this world are nothing but imitations."
"But how can it?! Who gave you this idea? There's no way you'd know that."
At that time, I could not control my emotions. It is not an emotion of anger, but an emotional shock.
"Since I felt the strange attitude of big brother, I started to get suspicious. In my memory this brother is a friendly and loving person. But the brother in my eyes is very different. Besides, my brother once said that me and the rest of the world are fake and not real. Even my sister also denied that I was a twin sister. And what makes me understand more is when you and Nina talk about the alternate world. An alternate world that will be wiped out once brother gets out of here. That's enough to explain why big brother's nature is so different from the one in my memory."
"I'm not sure just because of that information you immediately think that our world is different. I mean you concluded that too soon. I'm sure someone told me about the alternate world."
"Nobody told me. But I did find out. I heard all your conversations in the square. I heard from beginning to end. It's highly unlikely that you guys made up the story in that serious talk, is it?"
He already knows. What can I do?! Whatever the result, I did my last job. I have given you an understanding of our relationship.
"So based on that you want me to repay your love?"
"Not because of that. I love my brother because the brother in my memory loved me first. Back then we had promised to always be together and be united in one body."
"You and the people of this world at first I thought you were just a puppet controlled by that old Zelus. But once I get to know you, it turns out....."
"I'm not wrong if we don't have feelings! Judging from any side there was no far difference between me being a clone and the real brother. Whether to be considered genuine or fake, but the affection of me, father, and mother is real. The three of us didn't pretend at all when we loved someone, especially brother."
There is a point in what he said as well. After a few days here, it was no different from the real world. Then what am I supposed to do? Nina told me to stay wise in handling the situation, but I didn't know what to do.
"Ruhisa didn't force me anyway if my sister still wouldn't love me. As long as brother is always with me in this world Hehe." He laughed while crying. I got carried away because of him.
"Don't worry! Even though our world is different, we will continue to connect with each other. But on the other hand I also have my own world there. I gotta get back there. But I also will not leave this world. I'm going to come back here every once in a while to see my twin sister and the alternate world's parent." I said while stroking his head.
"Don't Nina already say that this world will be wiped out once you return to your home world? My brother could not choose both. You have to choose one."
"Don't believe too much what Nina said! There must be a way that these two worlds can still co-exist. I know the creator of this world. I will persuade him that this world will not be erased even if I have returned home. That way I can come back here anytime."
"What if my brother fails? Will you stay here, or go back to where you came from?"
I was silent for a moment by that question. If reasoned it seems difficult to persuade Zelus so that the world is not erased.
He looked very sad even though I had convinced him to be optimistic. Nor would I be willing that this world would be wiped out. They and the world are alive. They are alive and have the same feelings as me, that's how I feel.
I need to talk to him. He is a God. A God should not have the heart to erase the existence of those who are already alive.
