Time Is Up

"Mommy mommy, help me!" I rushed into the twins bedroom and the sight shocked me to the core. One of my kid was top on another and was strangling  her.

"What the hell, Nini?" I screamed as Nini moved away from Neni's body and corned herself into the corner of the bed.

"Mommy, she tried to kill me. I am scared of her." Neni cried hysterically with tears all over her face and drool as I picked up her in my arms and she wrapped up her arms around my neck.

"Shhh shh, nothing baby bear. You are fine. Mommy is here. Mommy won't let anything happen to you." I reassured Neni as I patted her back.

I shot a look at Nini who is silently crying. "I-I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything."

I sighed as I stepped out of the bedroom, locked the door and walked away.

I have to do something or else things will turn out ugly.

I picked up my phone and called my older sister. "Nini tried to kill Neni again. I am dropping off Nini to your place tomorrow. I think they shouldn't live together from now on."

"M-mommy...." I looked at Nini, who has a pout and tears welled up in her eyes, ready to pour down anytime.

"What happened, baby?" I asked as I kissed on the top of her hair.

"I can't live without you. I will die if you send me off to somewhere else." With that, Nini started crying again.

*****

"Say bye to your sister Nini. You are going to live with your aunt from now on. Behave well and don't cause any trouble or else I will send you off to a boarding school. Do you get me? I will visit you every now and then even if I really don't want to." I shot a angry look at Nini who has tears flowing down her eyes.

She's really good at acting innocent. Every time I caught her trying to kill Neni, she would cry and deny the accusations. And, she would never admit her crimes at all.

Is she really my daughter? The same daughter I gave birth? I am really doubting about it.

How could someone try to kill a human being, especially their sister, and on top of it, their own twin who they shared the same womb with, for nine months? Only monsters could do that. I guess, I am feeling really disgusted to this monster who's in front of me.

My older sister bid goodbye to me and drove off with Nini to her house.

She is a widow like me who lost her husband. She lost her husband one year ago, and I lost mine two years ago. She really loves my kids just as her own. She has a soft spot for Nini ever since she born, that's why she agreed to look after her even though the girl is a monster who tried to kill her own twin sister multiple times.

After 5 years, I was cleaning Neni's room. Neni was out with her friends.

When I was tidying up the bed, I noticed a lot of the remains of food which pissed me off. There were ants too.

"No wonder she always complains about ants biting her when she sleeps. She never listens if I tell her to don't eat in the bed." I muttered angrily as I removed the bedsheets and then the mattress which was quite a effort. That's when I noticed a brown leather diary under the bed.

I chuckled as I picked up her diary. She never told me that she owns one. She doesn't seem like the type to actually write down her thoughts into a piece of paper.

I sat down at the bed as I opened the diary.

As I was reading through the first para, I gulped down. I felt uneasy. Why would she write such things?

I immediately went through the pages and came at the last page where she stopped writing.

It was a short diary. I felt a lump on my throat. Oh God.....

The diary slipped off from my hold and onto the floor. I held my head between my hands.

Oh God, I was a complete fool all along.

The first paragraph in the first page said:  Hello dear diary, I bought you with my pocket money. Do you know why I bought you? Because, I was frustrated. Frustrated that my twin sister exists. I hate her because I hate sharing. Mommy says sharing is caring, but I hate it. I hate that I shared mom's womb with her. I hate that I have to share my room with her. I hate that I have to share my candies with her. Above all, I hate that I have to share my birthday and mommy with her? I hate that she exists.

The last dairy said: Today, I am really happy, because I got rid of Nini after a lot of efforts. Just like the previous attempts, I made it seem like she was killing me and mom misunderstood her as usual. And, she sent her off with aunt. Mommy also said she wouldn't let Nini see me again. I was so happy because that's exactly what I wanted after all. Poor Nini, guess what, mommy hate her now. Now, the room is all for myself. The candies mommy would buy will also all for myself. Guess what, I would be the only star in my upcoming birthdays and mommy is all for myself now too. I love this new start. A life within Nini. Since my all frustrations ended today, there's no reason for me to continue writing this diary. Goodbye dear diary!

I sobbed into my arms uncontrollably. My poor Nini, I never believed when she said she didn't do anything. One time, she tried to tell Neni was framing her and I beaten her up saying she was lying. Since then, she never told that it was Neni's doings, only defended herself saying she didn't do anything.

"So you found out everything at the end, dear mommy."

I looked up so fast as I felt dizzy for a moment. I saw Neni standing at the bedroom door with a sickening smile on her face, and a knife in her hand.

"Guess what, time is up mommy. Now time for you to sleep..." Terror filled inside my mind as she walked closer to me. "......forever."
