Okay, happy reading*

" Akhs.. " I grimaced. Hand hurt. My hand was hurt again.
" he...!! You're okay....?! " Kio, my twin brother came over with an anxious face.
I was close to Kio. Because our parents work and rarely at home. My father was a doctor, my mother was a doctor, my sister was sick, so my mother left even though she was no longer a doctor.
" It's okay. By aja. " I tried to smile.
" Don't be so strong. Oh, I know, we are twins. So whatever you feel I can feel too, you are too right? " Kio explained while dripping betadine into my hands.
" ashi.... Be ill... " I felt that Kio was deliberately pressing the most painful part.
" Intentionally, huh?! " And I saw Kio smiling.
" Hehehe yes. "
I grimaced more and more, Kio pressed my wounds even more.
" Oh yeah, mom and dad are going home early, so let's surprise mom and dad, Kevin. " Kio smiled and took me in his arms, leading me into our room.
When my parents came home, my father and mother immediately hugged us both. At that time, my father and mother were the warmest and most considerate of me and Kio.
Then on May 24th we celebrated our birthday. Mom and Dad gave me some cake and some presents. It was really happy, but one month after that my family started to break down. My mom and dad started fighting, because I knew my dad was cheating. After that my father came home less and less. And my mom always locked herself in the room.
Then one day the father and mother were having a fight, and accidentally made a glass break.
" Vin, to the middle room yuk. " Kio is embracing me.
Mom and Dad were fighting in the kitchen. While we were in the living room, Kio immediately told me to open my palm and unexpectedly Kio gave me a knife and placed it in my hand.
" Kio's. Why are you carrying a knife? " I asked and looked at my twin brother. Kio just smiled and said....
" Pick me using that knife, Vin. "
I was surprised, what does that mean? I was told to stab him?
" Wait, Kio. Why do I have to do this..? " I was trembling at once. And Kio patted my shoulder.
" i.... Just wanna die. "
Kio said that while smiling at me.
" why? Why would you want that? "
I was trying to think that Kio was joking with me. But I want him to know that I should have been the one to die and not him. Ever since father and mother quarreled, only Kio was noticed by them. And I'm just like Kio's replacement. My parents also became more friendly to Kio, even Kio only got a top 5 ranking, my mother and father accepted it. But I got a top 3, I'm still getting scolded.
" You have everything Kio. You are smart, kind, understanding, honest, though quiet, and handsome. As for me, I was stupid, I was naughty, arrogant, and often lied. Why do you want to die...?! "
I was so upset that I accidentally yelled at him.
" I suffered Vin!! All this time I was forced to do what mom and dad wanted!! To be honest I envy you, who can be free, can be angry and others. I don't like being forced!! "
Kio yells. I was shocked at what Kio had just said. Forced said? Kio started to come forward so that the knife I was holding stabbed him. But I didn't want Kio to die, so I chose to retreat.
In the end, Kio held onto my right hand which was holding the knife and pulled me closer. And....
Jamb....
The knife stabbed into his stomach. Blood poured out of his stomach. The one holding the knife was me.
" Kio's.... Kio, please don't die. I'm begging.. Kio.. "
My entire body trembled, and blood flowed from the knife I was still holding onto my hand. Until my hands are covered in blood.
" Kevin's.. "
I immediately stopped crying and saw Kio who was already pale and limp.
" I'm sorry if... I got it wrong.... " Kio stroked me slowly with blood everywhere.
" I'm grateful to be your twin brother.. "
Kio smiled at me then his hand that was stroking me just now slowly fell down.
" Kio's.. Kio!! "
I can only cry. I wish I could turn back time. If when Kio invites me here, if I refuse Kio's invitation to the living room, will Kio survive? Will Kio not die?
...*****...
Since that incident, my father has left the house, leaving only me and my mother in the house. For a long time my mother was depressed and became less sane so she had to stay in the hospital so that she could be supervised by doctors and nurses there.
As for me, ever since that incident my old house has been completely empty. I slept in the hospital for a few days. Then my cousins Kirana and Jefri were the children of my mother's sister.
Her name is aunt Angel. Because I know I sleep in the hospital every day, so Aunt Angel gives a house that she originally wanted to sell, but the aunt gave it to me. Really lives up to its name. And because aunt Angel is also I can go to school in the best Junior High School in Bandung, SMPN 13 Bandung. Even so every Saturday or Sunday I always visit my mother.
But it seems like mom is trying to forget that past, so the family members that mom remembers only one, Kio. Dad and I were forgotten by my mom. Good thing you don't have to remember me, but I want you to remember me. Every time I go to see my mom, I'm going to call me Kio, maybe because we're twins. Though I have often told my mother that Kio is dead, but I always do not believe.
...*****...
3 Days after I entered SMPN 13. I've started making friends with my friends. Well one SD anyway, so already familiar. And that's when I started to know about Rara.
" Eh Baim, what's new? You know all the information. " Ryo looked at Baim, who was sitting next to me at our gathering place, at the Yeni bu stall. Among us, all the news and information is only Baim.
" There is.. There's a 1st grader just coming in.. "
Not done yet Baim spoke, Ryo had already cut his words.
" It's all new first-class kids this year. We're still on a new note, too, right? " Ryo spoke but I immediately cut off Ryo's words.
" Byeah, hold on to Baim. " I told Baim to continue his words.
" Yes he is different, he is from Depok if not wrong. Just moved here. This is the class I took in 1B class. "
Info from Baim made Ryo and we felt interested.
" Okay try to get him Vin. Kan, you don't have any gebetan yet. I'm good at you, take it there!! " Indra immediately replied.
" Lo diem. "
That's what I said, but even on that day I tried to get close to him.
