The Twin He Wanted

Chapter -17

May. POV.

In front of me was none other than my eldest Brother Jason and my twin Josephine. Jason has a scowl on his face and Josephine looked like as if she would cry anytime. I could feel my brother's disgust and anger towards me . He looked at me and said

" So this is where you have been hiding? Is this how mom and dad taught you? How can you be so disgusting? And running away from home. Are you a teenager? You are always  like this . Even a stand of jealousy is enough for you to run away and leave you family behind. And for what? Come back with me now and ask for forgiveness from our parents and grandparents. That is your home and everyone is waiting for you at home. Okay. After the prize winning we will go home together and will celebrate Josephine's success together. "

When I heard his words I was not disappointed as I have enough of that already. His words sometimes makes me laugh and sometimes want to beat him up so badly even if he is my elder brother. I don't know why they are always so hateful towards me as if I have destroyed something they hold so dear. But now that I am also broken then why are they coming towards me.

I felt Alex tightening his grip around my hand making me feel that he is with me. I know that this is my battle and I have to fight it. I don't want Alex to intervene and I think Alex knows the same. I looked at Alex and smiled and then looked at my Brother and sister and calmly  and slowly said

"Hello Jason and Josephine. I am not hiding . I had already kept a letter in Father's office regarding my address. And I have phone number which has not been changed and yet I never got a call from you. And I am an adult and I know what is right and what is wrong for me. You guys don't have to worry.  Mom and dad never taught me a thing as they were always busy with you guys and As far as I remember I have never seen you guys ever talking to me other that when it comes to Josephine's affairs.  I never ran and there is no need for me to. I just left the place which was suffocating enough for me to leave. And our Grandparents I have never seen them ever talking to me . I have only felt their anger and hatred towards me whose source I don't know. And I do envy Josephine. I mean why not. Have you guys ever hugged me or said any sweet words . But I had enough of you beatings and disgusting words. If that's how you guys show love that why I have never seen you guys doing the same to each other. Why only me? I left that house because it is not mine to live with. I know that I am not welcomed there . And I don't think that I owe you guys any type of apology. I wish to never see you guys again. Let me live my life and I am happy with the one who respects me. Thank you. "

With that I left with Alex but Josephine held my hand and said with ers in her eyes

"Sister it is not what you think. It is all my fault. Please forgive me. Our parents love you . They have always taken care of us very well. You can't do this to our family. "

I scoffed at her words and removed her hand and said

"It is what I think it is. If it is not then tell me one single day  or moment which they have spent with me or have said good words to me. And I know the answer. And for them taking care of me I think you know the reason better than me after all you are now in this condition because of me. I have no beef against you. I am just tried of waiting . And I am not doing anything to you guys family. I just left when I felt that my role has been fulfilled. Now please let me live my life and for once let me feel at ease. "

With that I tired to leave but Jason came forward and wanted to hold me back but Alex held his hand tightly which stopped him and in a cold voice said

"It's enough and leave. I don't want you guys near my girl. If you do then I will inform the authorities. "

With that we left together and it was the time for us for the award ceremony where they will announce the winners. Now the stage was cleared and we were made to sit with the family members we came. I sat down with Alex and whole time I was hiding his arm and was leaning on his arm for mental support. He was quiet but his quietness gave me mental peace. I was tired was wanted to sleep but then they announced my name as the winner. I was happy and sad. Alex hugged me and said

"You did it. "

I did not wanted to leave his embrace but then have to because they were calling for me and the spotlight was on me. Alex took me to the stage where other winners were also there. The third winner was a guy named Ajay and Second was a girl named Lily and first was me. Josephine was no where . I know that she has also participated but competitions are not something which you can win at whim. For that hardwork and dedication is required which I have done at her place and that's why I am now the winner. When the have me the award I started crying . Judges congratulated me and started consoling me. Then Alex came and he knew the judges. They shook hands with him and they said few words and then he took me away .

We straight went to the hotel where I laid down and Alex also did the same because I didn't want him to leave. I hugged him and then unknowingly fell asleep. All I remember that he was caressing me with gave me the warmth and comfort which I needed the most.
