❁ MOTHER'S POV ❁

"It was hard to say goodbye to our only son." I said as I cried hardly. "We've said too many lies, done to many wrong things to him, and ignored him like he was not our own son." I cried even harder while my husband is comforting me.

"Why did we even ignore him right from the beginning? It was a very long time ago. A very heart-breaking story that happened to our family.", father replied.

"It was back when George and his twin brother was still about half their age by now. We had a serious fight because of the money that has been left to us. They both saw us screaming at each others face. I think that they became totally frightened because of what they saw between us. But, at that time, I remembered that they both have a disease which made them forgot everything they've seen or heard. So that's why George doesn't know that happening until now.", I said while I was remembering the past that extremely gave so much pain in me until now.

"Yes, I remembered those such things. Maybe that's the reason why I was always ill-tempered in everything, and even to my own son. And, that's the reason why we also let George's twin leave this house. ", father said while beginning to cry.

"Why have we done those such things? A true parent who loves his child does everything to keep close to them. They do everything to keep their family united, and a family must take care of each of their member. But, why did we treated George like he was adopted by us? And, we treated our adopted child like what a true son must be treated? But why?" I exclaimed emotionally.

"We treated him like that because we do not want to remember the past that happened to us. And, we have always been afraid of telling him the truth. But, many said that, the truth will set you free. So let's accept the things we have done. And, we must tell the truth to our adopted child but let us remain to love and take care of him like what a family really does.", father said while comforting me.

"But, what if it's too late? What if we could not find our twins? How could they even forgive us?" Even though my husband is comforting me, I was still in pain of the past, the present, and of what would happen in the future.

"We must think positively. We must search for them, and then tell them the truth, everything, and make things up so that our family would be united again. When there's peace, there would came unity among us."

"Yes, I agree. We must do it sooner before it's too late." I hopefully said while wiping away my tears.

"Where could we start searching?", father asked.

"We should ask for our neighbors' help, maybe they've seen George when he was travelling away from our home."

"Yeah, right. Let's do it tommorrow. But, who is George's twin brother?"

"I could not even remember. But, as far as I know, our son's name is Sam."
