Hope Like an Angel

Yuda (Part 2)

The poor youngest was trying half-dead not to get angry. His heart and soul had been shattered after realizing that Azriel was humbling him for hours. At first glance, Judah felt that he was not her old self anymore...

...***...

At night in the kitchen containing his Brother and Sister, they were preparing dinner.

His cowardly and irresponsible father fell asleep, telling him to wake up when his meal was ready.

"I'm sorry, Brother. The food's a little long because of my stomach." Geck. Yuda was cutting meat beside his brother. Resisting anger as much as possible.

"It's okay. I was so lucky that Dad was sleeping, so I didn't have to listen to his chatter for minutes until you were done. It is precisely Brother who must apologize for not being able to cook..." Azriel looked down embarrassedly at her sister who was still cutting, momentarily glancing at her wounded stomach.

Yuda's head added down. "What's "Sister to apologize for"? You insulted me behind my back, it was so disappointing." Say it in his heart, but what can he do, he must continue to cut meat, no one will prepare dinner other than himself. Every day, every moment, every time since his parents separated.

"You know, if I was taught to cook, I would be able to replace you! So we just change the cooking. Good idea, right?" Azriel followed, her body closing in on her sister.

"Hmph, taught cooking will also not be able to. If it's great in terms of physicality, it's physical. Don't want it all, I'll be forgotten and underestimated, you fucking brother." In his sister's heart. Judah's eyes closed in half, he was wrathful in heart. Geck! The axe he was wearing was used harder.

"Woah, slow down. What if you get your hand? Who will make us eat? Your hands are strong and practical, so don't lose them." Azriel smiled at Yuda, but Yuda's face looked at her brother glaring, surprised.

In that very second, his sister was aware of something. All his family members used him, using him like a pawn in poor chess. Up front when she was profitable, she was said to be great, behind her, she was humbled. His heart was like it had been pierced by a thousand swords and his skin felt removed for days, he did not accept.

"So I'm strong, brother." Judah chuckled, put down his axe and boiled the little flesh.

"Yes, uh, what's so funny?" Azriel curious.

"It's okay. It's funny how you think of me as a tool."

"Tool? What do you mean, Yuda?"

"I heard everything, brother. I didn't sleep on your thighs this afternoon. Dad said you complained to Mom about how weak I was in the woods, until she left us, be this kind of dad. It's all because of you, who don't accept my condition. All because of Brother!" Yuda exclaimed as he pushed her.

"K... My brother was never like that! Comeon! It must be just your imagination!"

"!" Yuda's heart grew more and more trepid, he could not bear it.

"lik! I know what I heard!"

"No, Yuda! That's not true! I never thought you were weak"

"Just confess! You're saying that because I should be Mom's replacement, right?! I have to cook, treat, make money, everybody! That damn daddy just hunts and hunts! In fact, Brother! The meat I cut, you know?! It was not the meat of the animal he was hunting! I don't know where she took her, but what I cut was a gift from a neighbor after I helped her! You are useless, just like Brother!"

Now, it was her brother's turn to glare in surprise, just as much as his sister's heart ache.

"A... A... Ahargh!!! All right, you little bastard! You are weak!"

"!"

"You are the most stupid, careless and helpless sister in the whole world! You know, in the woods that day, my knee had to be badly injured for protecting you! With that idiot brain of yours, you're not alert enough to the yellow lion!"

"My face is weak, brother! I'm not as strong as you-"

"That's it! Had you not been born, my knees would have been healthier! And when I play ball, I'll definitely be a hotshot! My whole life would be better without you! If only I had lived alone, had you not been present for a second, Mother would still be here, and we would still be at peace and quiet! It would have been if you, Judah, had never lived!"

Hearing those words, poor Judah fell down, weeping with restraint, his burden so much before his family? A weak and helpless man, is that really him?

"Look! Now you're crying! Whyyy?! Can't fight anymore? Yep! That is the real you! World's burden!"

Tears were pouring down from Judah. He rubbed it off, his mouth just saying "A..." He wants to fight, but he's still sick...

A slash!

"?" They both looked at his father's door. What is that sound?

Quickly, Azriel ran to open the door. Yuda is still drooping.

"!" BUKS! There was a strong sound. Yuda hurriedly caught up with him.

"Sister!" BUKS! Yuda's call defeats the monster attack, his brother holding his father's knife.

"Go away, you useless sister! You'll just be a burden!" Woosh! Azriel dodged the attack, BUK! His attack was being dodged by monsters.

Yuda was confused as to what, at a glance, he peeked at his father's room. His body split open, the little monster cut him off.

"Ma... What kind of creature is that...?" Naturally, the nine-year-old boy seeing that must have been surprised. It was pitch-black, noisy and laughable, very unreasonable. For the first time, someone entered the house suddenly.

BOOM! Blow monster misses, CRAS! The wooden sword cut off half of his leg, but it was a pity that the monster held him back.

"!" Azriel's panicking, Krak! The sword was broken, then thrown along with it, BUK! Azriel's body about Judah, they both drooped.

But, the monser smelled something strange, he gazed towards the kitchen, it was the smell of boiled meat.

Quickly, he dashed towards the stove, BRAK! Ruin it.

Azriel knew what was going to happen, Judah still rubbed his bruised cheek, Azriel's knee hit his face when he was thrown, it hurt so much.

"The stove!-" Yuda panicked, still hating his brother. Then, he ran towards the kitchen to kill the monster.

"Where are you going?!" Azriel.

"I'll show you! I'm not weak!" Yuda darted away, about to justify the stove.

"Stupid!" Her brother, who can run away alone, tries to take her sister with him, Grep! Holding hands.

"Take me off, brother!"

"No, Yuda! You won't be able to beat him!"

"I'll show it! I'm not a weak person!" Yuda managed to escape, running closer to the stove.

Now the more serious, soon deadly things will happen, but Azriel does not want to run away.

Grep's! His hand was held again, his sister was restrained.

"Why?! Why do you want to protect me so much?! You said it yourself, everything would have been better if I had never been born!" Yuda objected, looking at his worried sister.

"I. I'm still your brother! Anyway, I have to protect you!"

"Oh yeah?! Then I hate you!" The deg! Yuda said to his brother. At that very instant, Judah saw Azriel's face, he was aware of something. Even after her brother was insulted, she still wanted to protect her Brother. That's what Judah did not expect, his brother had high patience, he still loved Judah.

Agile and enduring the heartache, Azriel led Judah to the exit.

BUUUUM!!! The stove exploded, fire spread towards the door. But before it hit Judah, Azriel threw it outside, making Judah safe.

Unfortunately, Azriel was hit by fire, although she eventually also bounced outside.

HUUUUUSHHHHHH!!! Smouldering flames filled the entire house, charred and shattered, the heat could be felt by the body from a distance.

The bodies of the Brother and Sister were crumbling down on the ground, five meters away from the door, they were both thrown away.

Yuda felt regretful, trying to stand up as much as possible, looking for his brother.

"Sister? Brother Azriel?! Where are you?!" Accompanied by the sound of fire, she finally found Azriel, her brother covering his face while sitting down.

"K... Sister...? You're still alive! Thank God" Yuda smiled, but his face instantly changed greatly when he saw Azriel's face. There was a burn over his right eye.

"A... AHHHHHH!!! YOU STUPID!" BUCK!!! Azriel hit Judah hard until he fell. His shout defeated the great fire in the house.

"LOOK! MY EYES ARE BROKEN! IT'S BROKEN!!!" She strangles her sister, Yuda, who has trouble breathing, trying to survive.

"Listen...from now on.. GET away from me, STAY AWAY FROM ME, YOU JERK!!!" Azriel was furious, from that second, Judah had already lost his older brother.

For many years living up to now, the relationship between Judah and Azriel has been undefined. Strange, ruined, bad, irregular. Azriel's hatred defeats everything in this world. Judah had no one else...
