The Twin Brothers

She stared at Matthias’s body, laying on the bed. He’s healing since the incident. But the wounds wouldn’t fade away soon. The father is here while the son is still in evil’s hand. Liana sighs took out her phone. There’s no message or anything from Alex. Kelvin once checks and his signal is gone.

That only means one thing. Either he got busted or something happened.

“Baby.” Enzo’s voice makes her jump a bit. Her doe eyes met him. “Can we talk?” His soft voice sounds like begging. Liana nods and followed him. Leo waited outside but once he saw the girl, he bring her into his arms.

“Okay. W–What’s wrong, Lili? Ennie?” She frowns. Enzo sighs.

“Please, don’t pull any actions, okay?” Enzo caressed her hair after shutting the door closed.

Liana’s face just showed confusion. “Little one, why did you follow us? You could have been hurt or worse, you will fall into the trap as well!!” Leo raises his voice a bit. He picks her up to his hip.

“I got a message from Alex saying you guys are in trouble. I’m not going to lose someone I love anymore!!” She sternly spokes.

“We know that but–”

“No. This is not only about you. This is about me, you, and us. We do this together!! You can’t push me away just to keep me safe while you guys drowning in your blood!!” The girl confessed.

There are so many things that happened in their heart. Guilty. Sad. Happy. Everything. It messes up. The scene where they shout her out makes them even sadder.

“Little baby, we’re sorry for… hurting you. We promise you not to but we still do it.” Enzo presses his forehead on hers. “We just worried sick about Matthias. Thinking about losing him, make us crazy.”

“I know. Losing someone you love just makes you mad.” Liana quietly said.

“We’re sorry. We will get through this together. Deal?” Leo raises his pinky finger.

His brother scoffs. “Come on, Leo. This is not some cringe act!!” Enzo rolls his eyes.

“Hey!! Pinky promise is a promise that you can’t break!!” The girl scolds him. It makes Enzo pouts and Leo chuckles.

“Okay, if you say so. How about a promise that we will stay together until we at the end of our lives?” Enzo suggests, raising his pinky finger beside Leo. Sometimes, promises took a lot of risks.

She stares at the two pinky fingers. Stay together? While they are in this condition, it is too risky. But, if she says she can’t promise that, the brothers will think otherwise.

With a bright smile, she links two of her pinky fingers with them. “I promise!!”

“That’s our good girl.” They press their forehead to hers. If this scene is in the picture, it will look like a family photo. The three-person smile happily and are close to each other arms.

“Should we take a picture?” Adam grins as he took out his phone. He secretly snaps a picture.

“I swear, if the boss found us eavesdropping, I will say it was you.” Felix rubbed his face in frustration.

“We’re not. Can’t you see!? They are so cute!! I can’t wait for the twins to purpose her to be their girlfriend, then wife than having a kid!!” He jumps like an excited child.

“Don’t tell me you already think to be a babysitter because I’m not. I will find a task from Enzo to make myself busy.” Felix leaning on the wall, crossing his arms.

“Psshhh, you are such grumpy pants. Trust me. You will love kids and you will have one.” His friend smirks.

“Yeah. As if.”

“You will find a girl one day, dude. Mark my words.” Adam nudges him and walks away. His friend just shook his head and followed him.

“The bomb is under Damien’s control?” Kelvin asks.

“Yes. That’s what I found.” Cara replies.

The guy leans his back on the chair. “Alex, Matthias son contact with Liana and telling her Damien’s plan. Thank goodness, he cooperates. Or not, we will lose our two leaders.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Why so sudden did Alex betray Damien?” The woman asks.

“I don’t know why but maybe Matthias say something to make him aware.” He shrugs his shoulder. “Now, we don’t know where they are. Alex have should tell us but I think he got busted.”

“Why you didn’t find his location through–”

“I tried already. I think Damien asks his men to destroy the location or whatsoever.” Kelvin back to his computer.

The door opens and reveals Felix and Adam. They watch Felix who is annoyed with his friend and keeps babbling about something. Sometimes, their interaction was so cute. People will mistake them for gay.

“Hey, Felix. What with the long face?” Cara chuckles, crossing her legs.

“This idiot babbling about–I don’t care. Anyway, found something?” He arches his eyebrows.

“No. Lose signal of them.” Kelvin sigh.

Adam of a sudden raises his hands. But none of them cares. “But they are still in the same area right?” Felix asks.

“Seem like it.” He answers. Adam still raising his hands.

“What the fuck it is, Adam.” Felix grunts, falling on the couch beside Cara.

“Have you guys asked why Damien targeted to kill the twins?” He asks.

The others exchange looks. “He thought without the twins, Liana will back down and it easy for him. Why are you asking?” Cara asks.

“Don’t you think what he will plan next? I mean… he might plan to kill the three of them.” Adam spokes.

He was right. They have to get ready with whatever they plan on for the next time. “Look like we have to get ready.” Felix stood up and glance at the door. But then, he turns to the others. “It not safe here for our leaders. We will tell them the plan.” They nod.

Little bit they know, someone standing at the door, hearing everything they said. Smirks appeared on his face and walks away.

The twin and Liana sitting beside the weak Matthias. The girl on Leo’s lap, playing with the ring on his fingers. When they heard someone groaning, they immediately turn their attention to it.

“Mat?” Enzo called.

He grunts holding his head. His eyes open slowly but quickly shut due to the lights. “Ughhh, what the fuck…” He mumbles.

“Maty? Are you okay? Are you still hurt?” Liana stroked his hair. The actions make the twins chuckle.

“Yeah. I–I’m fine, sweetie.” Matthias slowly sits up, rubbing his forehead. “Finally. I’m back at home.” He sighs in relief.

The girls grab the tray from the desk and handed it to him. “Here. Eat then take the medicine.” She smiles softly.

“Thank you, sweetie.” He ruffles her hair.

She giggles and snuggles close to Leo’s chest. Only make the guy tighten his grip on her. Matthias smiles at the scene and starts eating.

“We’re sorry for taking too long.” Enzo apologized.

“No, It’s okay. At least you guys trying to come and help.” He chuckles.

“How about your son?”

Hearing about his son, makes him stop his movement. Honestly, he misses his son. He shouldn’t have tortured Alex like this. After he went out of the room that time he never come back.

“I don’t know. I haven’t met him since then.” Matthias looks down. His voice went quiet.

“But your son call me.” Liana’s words make him lift his gaze in shock.

“W–What?”

“He’s the one who tells us about Damien’s plan. At first, I don’t believe him but then he sounds so genuinely. He did this because he felt so left out when you always talking about Ennie and Lili.” She explains.

The father sighs. “I miss my son so much. What should I do to have my son back.” Tears formed in his eyes, ready to fall. The sight makes Liana’s heartbreak.

“Mat, we’re sorry about your son but did Damien say anything to you? Or any hint to find them?” Enzo asks.

“I’m sorry, guys. But no. Damien didn’t come to meet me. Only Alex did.” He answers. Suddenly, the soft tiny hand grabs his.

“Don’t worry, papa. I will bring Alex back and end this thing.” Her expression showing a serious one but at the same time, cute.

“Thank you, sweetie.” Matthias kisses her forehead. “But you guys have to be careful. I can feel Damien will make a move sooner or later. I don’t know why but I can feel it.” He sighs.

The brothers exchange looks.
