Forgery Love
"We getting marry!" My twin sister, Sylvia Ashely, exclaimed to our father, mother and myself. She was happy...scratch that, she was beyond happy as she sat next to her future husband and our childhood, Aiden Soul.
I couldn't hide my shook at the news, they gave us. I was more in pain that shook as I processed the words. The man I have always admired would be marrying my sister. Aiden Soul, our neighbor and childhood friends since birth. He is 3 years old than us and is most going to graduate on becoming a doctor. Medium long black hair with hazel eyes that would drive anyone crazy.
I shouldn't be surprise, I should have seen this one coming...after all they have been dating for almost 2 years and a half. Little after the dead of Aiden's mom. She was in a car accident and she was instantly killed with the hit. Aiden and Mr.Soul were devastated by the events. He lost his mom and Mr.Soul his beloved wife.
I didn't do anything but stand there and watched him suffer his lost. I was afraid that he would rejected my help. So I decided to watch his from far, while his sister was the one that really help him. She was there for him, the way I couldn't. I didn't have the courage to go near him. Even since then, they were always together and before you noticed they fell in love.
I shouldn't be in pain...I knew...everyone knew that this day would come one day...I was just the only one not ready for them. My mind and heart weren't ready for this pain. I felt like rocks were put inside my body, trying to pull me toward the ground. I couldn't move but just stare at the couple in front of me.
Slyvia grabbed Aiden's hand and looked at him before returning her glaze at us. "W-Well..." She said. Slyvia voice getting from excited to nervous. "Dad...Mom, say something anything."
My mom was the first one to break the silent with a scream. She got up, hugged Slyvia, and congratulated her and Aiden. I could see tears forming at her eyes. My dad smiled at them, hugged Aiden before mom could and welcomed him into the family.
They are getting marry... I should be happy for them, but all I wanted was to run and hide from them. To hide myself from the pain inside of me by pretending this wasn't real.
"Luna" I heard his soft voice calling out to me. I slowly looked at Aiden, at the man I have love in secret all the years. "Aren't you happy, I'm going to be you brother-in-law?" He asked me with a smile on his face.
More rocks were added at me by hearing those words. I didn't wanted to hear them...not from him...not now...not ever.
Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath before forcing my body to smile at him. It hurts, my whole body hurt.
You can do it, Luna just smiled and say 'Congratulation' to them.
"C-c..." I couldn't continue speaking. I can't...I can't do it. My body going stood from the couch and my mouth spoke my salvation from now. "I forgot...my painting is due tomorrow. I-I have to finish it" I said to them before dashing out of the living room into my room as fast as I could. A pathetic excuse that was all I could give them. An excuse to get away from them.
I lied, my painting was done and turn in. I rested my back at my room as soon a locked the door. "Marry...Aiden...marry" I whisper to myself. I'm so stupid! I should have congratulated them, I should have given up on him on the moment.
I looked at the ground and found dark spots on the carpet, follow by drop of water falling.
"Huh" I touch my wet cheek and looking at the tears run down my hand. "I'm crying"
The tears began to come out faster and I wanted to wipe them away. "Stop...no...I-I...." I couldn't even hear my own words, I didn't know if I was thinking about them or saying.
I never got a chance, I never had a chance with him to begin with, not when my sister in between. Of course she was chosen...she always is, not just by him, but with our parents also. She is their light. The perfect daughter they always wanted, while I was just her shadow. A small shadow that wouldn't be noticed with her bright light there leaving no room for me. She the cheerful one and outgoing while I was quiet and shy one. But it wasn't just my sister fault, is mine too. I wasn't able to stand up against her, I would just give up when I knew I couldn't win.
Just like every time, I would have to keep my heart for my own. Stand in the back and stay quiet as I watch the man I love marry my twin sister.
