The Twin He Wanted

Chapter-18

May. POV.

He soft caressing and voice who Alex woke me up who was waking me up to eat something. It was already evening and I was also feeling hungry. After crying for so long I am feeling happy as if all my pent up emotions are gone. When a person is crying you should not talk to that person about the reason of their sadness because it will make them remember it more and will make them cry more. So you can only support them by your presence and silence.

After waking up I took a shower and when I got out Alex has already ordered the food. My trophy and award was already packed by Alex inside the bag. I didn't got any offers as all the business associates know Alex and knows that he is my boss so no one dared to hire me and I also would have said no because I want to and am willing to work wil Alex only. And I will never leave the company as it is much better that other companies and also the top is designing . Together we ate food in silence. After eating food I asked him does he wants to go out for a walk with me which he happily obliged.

Together we left the hotel room and the whole time I was holding his hand . I guess meeting my siblings has brought out the sadness within me but Alex has been a great support. I appreciate his efforts and makes me happy that the person I want to be with is such a genuine person.

When we reached the park we walked for sometime and then we sat down. The part was  almost empty as people have gone to their homes. It was 8:30 pm. We sat down and I decided that I will tell Alex about my past so I said

"I was born in a big and happy family. Me and my sister Josephine are heterozygous twins. I have three older brothers. When me and my sister were born my sister was sick and I was healthy. Because I was healthy my parents didn't welcomed my birth as according to them I stole my sister's nutrition. So their neglect and hate towards me started. They never staright away said that but their actions were more than enough. With their behaviour my brothers also followed. They even used to hit me sometimes for Josephine. My grandparents were the worst because whenever they were around I was locked inside my room . I was never allowed to eat the things I want and my meal was the same as that of Josephine as according to them I am supposed to suffer along with her. I was also verbally abused by the workers at our house. They used to lock me in the room and sometimes skipped my meal and if they were caught they used to tell my family that I refused to eat which later caused me punishment. I was healthy and I wanted to attend school like my sister but my parents homeschooled me and made my sister join the school. I never had any friend. I don't know why they did this because as far as I know this is not love. To cure my sister I have to donate my liver, kidney ,blood and bone marrow which I don't mind but their behaviour and attitude towards me and my feeling is what makes me hurt the most. I remember that during my teenage years I was most rebellious. I used to sneak out so that I could see outside world and make some friends and that's when I met a guy named Pied Piper. That was not his real name but he was my neighbour and was also homeschooled. He used to wear a mask as according to his parents he was suffering from some disease. But he was the one who made me love myself. He reasoned me that what my parents are doing is wrong. As from a very young age I was made to believe that I don't deserve love or that I only exist for my sister. But he made me realise that what my parents are doing is wrong. And then he told me that he was kidnapped and was threatened by the couple who claimed to be his parents. So I decided to help him. We made a plan and according to which I used to sneak out of my home and bring in some money so that when he escapes he can have monetary help. We both were twelve or thirteen at that time. I used internet and researched at my home that how we should reach the police station and call jsi parents for help. I didn't tell my parents as they never listened to me and when I asked my brothers I was beaten and locke din my room so as not to run away. They thought that I was planning on running. They cared for Josephine and knew that if I run away Josephine will not get her live doner. But for once I defied my parents and the day Is as bout to help him escape it was raining heavily. I sneaked out from the window of my room . I my was in first floor and the ground was soft because of grass which caused me to slip and injure my ankle. I helped him sneak out and together we ran towards the nearest police station. I don't know how his fake parents got to know about our escape H guess it was my brothers . So they started chasing. We both were wearing the same clothes and we both were of same height so I told him to follow the way to police station and I distracted them. He was a smart boy and didn't want to do it but I told him that my parents will find me as they want my sister well being. He was hesitant but when I made his promise that he will come back for me. He agreed. We both went back our ways and Is as caught by his fake parents and locked inside the room for one whole day without food and water. I was eventually found by my parents and they acted as if they really cared for me. I was hospitalized for one week where no of my family member was there to accompany me and when I was discharged from home I was beaten black and blue by my father in front of my whole family and no one them pitied me. They all thought that I deserve this. My siste Josephine was also there and saw me being beaten but she was crying as if she as the one suffering in my grandparents arms with my brothers surrounding her. That was the day I decided no to care for them. I decided to wait only till Josephine gets well. After that day I did what I was asked to do. I participated in competitions on behalf of my sister and won it for her. I stopped going to family gatherings and no one invited or noticed my absence. For the whole world I was the pathetic twin who sulled my sister. My family feared that I will run away again so the moved from that place to a more isolated one so that I will have no one to intereact. It was only when I was to donate my kidney to my sister that they decided to move to a new place with other people surrounding our house. And after I gave my kidney to my sister I left that house because I have nothing to give and according to Pied Piper I should live my life in my own terms. Sometimes I wonder that they are so many people who are willing to donate . It is not that I am the only one who match with my sister but one day I heard my parents discussing that how my birth  was unplanned as they only wanted one daughter and my birth disrupted their happy family so I owed it to them and Josephine. That's why I now have no affection for my family because I have had enough. My only regret is that I never got to say goodbye to Pied Piper . I know that he must have come back to look for me but I guess we are not fated. I  don't know whether he met his parents or not but I guess he must have because he is like that. I just hope that he is living a more happy life that me because right now I am the happiest with you. "

After hearing my words Alex was crying . He said nothing but hugged me as If was going to break. I patted his back and then he said

"I am sorry that I was not there when you needed me the most. I am sorry that I let you suffer but now that I have met you I will never let you leave and will protect you at any cost. "

His words were but confusing to me but I just only felt his love for me . I held his face in my hands and kissed him lightly on his lips to which he responded with a mind blowing kiss. After a makeout he kept feathering my face with light kisses showing that how much he loves me. That I pulled back and asked him

"Will you be my boyfriend for forever?"

He said 'YES' with surprise and happiness on his face and kissed me till I was breathless and then we left for the hotel and when we reached the room we both were happy and shy. Now Alex is officially my 'Boyfriend' which is making me giddy. We both slept together  in each other's arms and for the first time I slept without thinking about my past and only thinking about my future with Alex.
