The Secret of the Twins

The Secret of the Twins
Part 2's. Uncle Benu



#27 years ago#


Jasmine and I are identical twins. Even our hair is the same length, brown.we always wear the same clothes, accessories, shoes and even socks that we wear are also the same. We do have tastes that are no different, including in choosing toys.


Today is our eighth birthday. Unlike last year, when we invited the whole community to party, mom would provide special meat that was delicious. But now there is no celebration. Not even a happy birthday. Mom's a little shy now, she's fighting with dad.


"I can't stand this house!" exclaim mom.


I just keep quiet, don't touch Mom's words.


"I want us to get out of this damned village.This shit house as soon as possible!" Mother kept talking, justifying her wishes, making us fed up.


"Or I'll go!I'm a scholar, you can also find another job! Why should it be here. I can't stand it here, I want to go!" Mother's anger is becoming.


While Dad did not reply, he was indeed a patient husband, even though Mom's level was already outrageous, Dad glanced at us who were peering behind the door.


"are you playing outside?" While closing the door.


***


Jasmine and I just kept silent.


From behind the door, we heard their quarrel vaguely. This time I heard Dad yelling, while Mom was crying.


"Come on Rose, I told you to play outside." Bring Jasmine.


❤❤❤


We joined hands out of the house to play in the courtyard. Although I was born five minutes before my brother was born, Jasmine is more mature than me. He always kept me calm.


**


"There's no need to think about Rose's father and mother...."


I looked at Jasmine, I forced these lips together, so that she would be relieved to see the knots of the lips that I pinned.


"I don't want mom and dad to be apart.'


"They won't be separated!"


"Are we moving out of this village?"


"No idea, but anyways. We'll stick together!"


"Jasmine no matter what happens I don't want to be separated from you..."


"I'm not leaving you." That sincere smile that always makes me strong, thank God you sent Jasmine in the middle of my life.


***❤❤❤***


From the east look Grandpa and Aunt Pomegranate walking gontai, the look of tired face is clear.


grandpa smakin' closer, staring at us coldly.


"Where is your Mom and Dad, instead of helping the farm even delicious at Home!" Jerky grandpa.


"Here Dad, don't yell at them." as Aunt Pomegranate caressed our hair.


Although hard-hearted, but Grandpa always melted with the words Aunt Pomegranate, without a word Grandpa entered the house. Leaving us with aunt Pomegranate ....


"Have you eaten yet?" ask aunt Pomegranate.


"We haven't eaten a aunt, Dad and Mom fighting constantly. I haven't cooked in the morning!" Jasmine.


"They're fighting again?"


"Yes aunty, we're afraid Dad and Mom are divorced?"


Aunt Pomegranate walked towards me. caressed this head and then hugged us both...


"Tante will cook you food"


***❤❤❤***


Although people say Aunt Pomegranate is just an adopted child in this family. But Aunt Pomegranate was much better than the other brothers of the father, who inexplicably chose to wander and never returned. Leaving grandfather, never seeing him.


They only come when they want permission to get married because it has become an ancestral tradition. After that it left again, and never came back.


****❤❤❤***


The day changed, when suddenly I saw a familiar figure from a distance.


"Uncle Benu?" yelled Jasmine ran over .


I followed Jasmine every step, approaching our beloved uncle.


"Duo Mariye's... Uncle misses you guys, look what Uncle brought! Happy Birthday, I'm sorry Uncle gave it away late." handing over two similar-looking, pie-doll dolls.


"We miss Uncle Benu?" As Jasmine and I hugged Uncle.


****


"Sir Benu?" Sapa aunty Pomegranate who approached us and Uncle Benu.


"Fifth."


"Sister's coming home, I'll be happy, Brother will be staying here again right?"


Hearing Aunt's words make my heart blossom, Uncle will stay here, Jasmine and I dream about this for quite a while.


"I'm getting married, I'm just here to ask for ancestor's blessing. And dad and brother!" Uncle replied coldly, then Just leave.


Uncle does not like Aunt Pomegranate, maybe because they are not blood or something else?


It hurts, hearing Uncle Benu's statement, I followed Uncle Benu's steps.


"Uncle won't leave again, will he?"


Uncle Benu stopped his steps then turned towards us.


"Uncle will not forget you?"


It hurts to hear Uncle saying, if he will go after this, will he also follow in his brother's footsteps. I don't think I'm thinking about this, I see Jasmine teary-eyed. He understood Uncle's intentions, just like me.

#Middle of the night in the Bedroom#


Tonight was so silent, I fell asleep without cue when suddenly someone woke me up, Jasmine looked pale, her seedling turned blue, in the embrace of a fragile old worn book.


"You're why Jasmine, you're having nightmares!"


Jasmine said nothing, her eyes filled with worry, she hugged me very tightly, I knew she was scared.


"You want to drink Jasmine? I'll get it."


I tried to take off the hug, but Jasmine clasped the wrists tightly.


"Don't come out, don't go kedapur! Rose!"


****❤❤❤***


#That's part#


As usual, our family would wait for other family members to have breakfast together. Uncle was not seen from earlier, so I only felt the atmosphere stiff, father and grandfather who were silent without a sound, while Jasmine was so moody. Since morning she won't talk to me, what did she see last night?


"Rose, Jasmine let's eat today's special menu.your favorite soup" auntie took us a bowl.


"Where's Uncle Benu? Uncle must be hungry too!"


My question kept everyone quiet, I saw Jasmine was very sad.


"Uncle has left this morning." Sela aunty Pomegranate.


"Uncle left and not saying goodbye, Uncle yesterday promised to tell us if we left. Aren't Jasmine?"


Jasmine did not respond. He just kept quiet, you why Jasmine, what happened?


" if you're told to eat, eat!"


Grandpa's clasping surprised me.


****


It's been a week since the events of that night, Jasmine has also kept avoiding me, she's changed, she's different. Why he never wanted to talk about what happened.


This afternoon after helping Aunt Pomegranate in the garden, I tried to see Jasmine in the room. He looks like he's staring at the wall. The sound of the door scraping made him realize my presence.


"Jasmine... Are you okay?"


Again Jasmine did not reply to this question, I tried to approach her, but this time she did not avoid me, the closer this step was. Jasmine was muttering something.


While grumbling to say obscure sentences, he dismembered a pie-furnished doll given uncle Benu with scissors.


Her smile was cold, staring at me, walking unsteadily approaching, I took a few steps back in doubt, what did Jasmine want to do?


Then he began to grumble as if to cast a spell, while swinging the Scissors in his hand. I fell, hit the wall.


"Demon Man!" the screams are pretty loud.


I'm cornered in submission, Jasmine, why are you?


Seriate
