"I have never felt love after he left. I lived all these years lonely, all by myself. My aunt she was the one and only person who cared for me. I don't want to get close with people. I don't want to get loved. Love is such a waste of time and it's all fake. It's all lie.
The fact is that I am scared. I am scared of people. I am scared that I will loose them one day, like I lost my mom,dad and Adrian."
Rose cried out loud hugging Johan. Johan patted her back.
"Look Rose! I understand your pain. It was almost 15 years ago I went to a trip with my whole family. I don't remember much about the trip or where we were headed to. All I remember is a big truck hitting our bus and my mom's eyes closing as her body was covered in blood.
When I woke up I was all alone. They left me. They left me all alone in this world, all by myself." Johan said and Rose looked up at his face.
He touched her face and said
"Rose! Love is not fake. Love is not lie. Love is real but some people don't deserve love and then there are some people, like you, who deserves to be loved" he said and hugged her again.
Rose was so touched by his words. She knew he was lonely too.
It started raining all of a sudden.
"You deserve to be loved too" Rose said as she looked at him.
Johans eyes were filled with tears.
Rose patted his head.
"I love you Johan!" Rose said.
Johan countinued crying hugging Rose.
"I was so scared that you would leave me. I don't want to loose you!" He said weeping.
Johan seemed so rude on the outside but it was just a cover he put on because he was so weak deep inside. Most of the people who seems strong are actually broken deep down their heart."So you weren't the one who saved me?" Rose asked confused.
"No! I didn't even knew you met with an accident. Are you okay?"
"Yes I am fine. Look at who is asking!" Rose said mockingly and smiled at Johan. He was all wet and was sneezing. Rose gave him a towel and he was drying his head with it.
Johan didn't reply back.
Rose went inside her room and came out with a t-shirt.
"Hey, change to this or else you will catch cold." Rose said and threw the shirt to him.
Johan removed the shirt he wore and put on the tshirt she gave standing there itself.
"You could have used the room-" Rose said as she saw him changing.
"Why? You have seen me naked before"
He said and he turned on the TV and sat on the couch.
"What shows do you watch? Do you have Netflix here?" Johan asked while he switched the channels.
"Hey, Aren't you leaving?" Rose asked Johan.
"No! I'm going to stay here at my girlfriend's house tonight." Johan Replied.
"Girlfriend? Who? Me?" Asked Rose sighing.
"Yes. When people love each other they make a couple." replied Johan.
"My girlfriend is so unpredictable. OMG! She even watch kid shows. Haha" Johan said and started laughing.
Rose grabbed the remote control from his hands.
"Hey! Why did you take the remote away?" Asked Johan sadly.
Rose turned the TV off.
"Go home Johan" Rose said.
"No I don't want to! It's so boring there anyways!" Johan said and he laid down on the couch.
"Why do you keep doing this Johan! Really!"
"Oh! What is that?" Johan saw a group photo on her self and he took it out in his hands.
"Oh! That is a group photo from my high school." Rose said and came near to Johan to take a look at it.
"This is cute! Let me find you in this. There you are! You were so cute back then!" Johan exclaimed.
"The girl standing next to me is Anna. She was my best friend at high school."
Rose said and then she walked to the table to take some instant Ramen for them to eat.
"You guys look so cute in this. Oh! Who is this guy. I think I know him!"
Rose came near to him to have a look at whom he was referring to. It was Adrian.
"Oh! He! His name is- "
"I remember him. His name is Nick! You were his classmate. wow!"
"What? Is that him that you are speaking about?" Rose said pointing towards Adrian's picture.
"Yeah!" Replied Johan.
"His name is not Nick, Johan. And you don't know him."
"Rose! I used to work with him before I joined your company." Johan said and kept the photo back in the shelf.
"His name is not Nick and there ain't any way that you know him. He lives in London." Rose shouted.
"He is Nick wait let me show you his picture if I have them"
Johan went scrolling through his phone and showed a picture of them standing together.
Rose schocked as she saw that picture.
"Why? Isn't it him? Nick. Look I was correct. You were the one who forgot-"
"Johan, I am not joking right now. This person, whom you saw in that group photo, is Adrian, whom I used to date!" Rose said.
Johan looked at Rose.
"Johan, tell me honestly. Do you know him?" Rose asked. She seemed so serious.
"I don't know much about him. I used to work in a company before joining yours. The company paid a really low income. A month before I left that company he joined there. This was a photo taken at my sent off party that I gave them. But I know his address. I have been there once. He is a really nice guy." Johan explained.
"He is such a great liar. Maybe that was the reason why he left me. What a stupidity. All these years I lived in pain because of him. He should be in jail for what he did. He is so broke and he lied to me that his father was in London. But how did his dad know Natalia?? Omo. I don't understand anything now!" Rose said getting frustrated.
"I can take you there if you want to go." Johan said to Rose.
"Yes! I want to go. I want to slap him so hard that he would remember everything he did to me and I even want to send him to jail!" Rose shouted.
"Rose! What if it isn't him. It is not confirmed yet." Johan said to Rose.
"How can two people look so same. I know it's him. I know him. It's him. Aaah!" Rose shouted. "I want to go now!"
Johan caught Rose's hand and pulled her towards him.
"We can go together tomorrow! " He said and left her hand.
Rose calmed down and she got butterflies.Rose woke up morning to find her lying on the couch. She looked for Johan there but couldn't find him. She went to kitchen and boiled some water for tea.
"You up?" She heard Johan's voice.
"Yes! And where were you?" Rose asked.
"Aah I went out for a walk. Here, I collected the milk from outside." He said and handed the milk to her.
She took it from his hands and asked
"Do you know to cook?"
"Not really! I know to eat!" He replied.
"Beautiful!!!" Rose remarked.
"Why??" Johan asked surprised but Rose didn't reply.
"Here! Drink this" Rose said and gave Johan a cup of tea.
"Mmh! It's so good" Johan remarked.
"This is the only thing I know to make!" Rose said and smiled and then she walked away from him."Rose, where is my shirt?" Johan asked loudly.
"I put it on the washing machine yesterday. It's over here. I'll bring it." Rose Said and took the shirt to him.
He got ready and Rose got ready too.
She tried cooking some pasta and it worked.
So They had pasta together.
"Did you lock the door?" Johan asked while they got out.
"Oh! Let me check" Rose said and found that it wasn't locked.
She smiled looking at Johan and he shook his head in disappointment."I want to punch him on his face! I want to see his reaction when he sees me!" Rose said as they were driving to Nick's house.
"I still get a bad feeling about this, Rose. Are you sure that you want to do this?" Johan asked Rose.
"Yes! I want to do this. I was waiting for this moment. I am not Rose if i didn't do this" rose replied back.
Rose ran out of the car as they reached there.
She went and rang the doorbell and was preparing the speech to say to him when he opens the door.
Johan stood by her side.
They heard the door opening.
"Johan, what a surprise!" Nick hugged Johan as he saw him.
"Who is this? Your girlfriend?" Nick asked as he saw Rose.
"Not really. She is actually-" Johan started to explain but before that Rose started yelling at Nick.
"Ooh! Brilliant. I know that you are so brilliant at acting. But don't try to act to me like that."
Johan shut Rose's mouth with his hand."I think you came looking for my twin brother!" Nick sighed.
Rose and Johan looked eachother.
They were sitting on Nick's house.
"Is Adrian your twin brother?" Rose asked surprised.
"Well! Yeah! After our parents got divorced he chose to live with dad and I choose to live with mom. But she passed away." Nick said and sighed.
"I never knew he had a twin brother. He has never spoken about that." Rose stated.
"Well he doesn't like me and didn't wanted to see me. That was the reason why he left to London with dad. He was always like that." Nick explained.
"But our dad passed away an year ago and he came back from London. He is working as the producer of our company here. I work there as the marketing manager now."
"So where is he now?" Asked Rose.
"Well. He lives here with me. He just went out to get some vegetables or something-" Nick said.
Then they heard someone opening the door of the house.
"I'm back!" He said and closed the door and then he turned around.
It was Adrian. He was so schocked to see Rose there.
