Yup! We Are the Twins

Eps. 48

Azka stared at the reddish-blue sky before her. At this time, Azka was contemplating on the roof of the grandfather's company building after the man had come to her to confirm something. Wishing everything Kelvin said was a lie.

Unfortunately, the grandfather did not speak. He only sighed with a nod of his head as a sign that what Kelvin said to Azka was a reality.

Just a moment ago...

After Azka agreed to Kelvin's words about him having to promise her, the man began their conversation. But before going to the core, Kelvin tells Azka to promise that after this, he must not do anything beyond the limits that might hurt him even more.

"So, where are Azka's parents?" Azka asked, after feeling Kelvin had enough pleasantries.

Kelvin took a deep breath and then exhaled it. His pair of neutrals looked at Azka inside with a sad look. Every now and then, the man would swallow his saliva with difficulty, as the debris of past memories scattered back in his brain. In fact, Kelvin was confused to start the story from which part. It all just seems to happen for no apparent reason.

"Why do you want to know what part?"

"Azka wants to know everything! From the beginning if you can!" Azka. Kelvin was only able to nod his head a few times.

"Actually, this all happened about eighteen or nineteen years ago. I don't know for sure because it happened a long time ago. Plus, it was the age of Om only ten or not eleven?" Kelvin paused for a moment. Slowly, slowly, Kelvin tried to strengthen the memory of a dozen years ago so that no important parts were left behind.

"At that time, your mother aka Om's older brother had a relationship with a man whose age distance was if not wrong two years older than he—"

"Wait!" Azka cuts Kelvin's speech. His forehead seemed to be frowning confused by the squinting look of his eyes.

"Why? Is there something you want to ask?" Azka nodded. "So... Mama is Om's older sister? But, why is there not a single piece of information and photos of him? And why are you when you're asked about Azka's parents, you never answer? And also—"

"Azka!" It was Kelvin's turn that cut the teenager's talk. Patiently, Kelvin began to calm Azka, who began to be curious.

"You better not ask before you finish everything. So that you will not be wrong to conclude later. Understood?" Tegur Kelvin's. With resignation Azka nodded.

Kelvin took his breath back before the man continued the storytelling session. "Ekhem. Your mother had a relationship with a man who was about two years old. Because your mother comes from a family of politicians, Papa alias Eyang You had disagreed when he found out his daughter had a relationship with a man of unknown origin,"

"If Om doesn't remember wrongly, your papa is a street painter. Your mother was just a student. Om does not know clearly what they can know each other like, but Om knows, your mother was desperate to leave the house because Eyang did not approve of their relationship." Kelvin's face became sad again. The look in his eyes that originally looked flat ahead, turned slightly down as he recalled the incident that happened to the brother, aka his mother Azka.

"You could say they eloped. She was angry, but she had no intention of dragging your mother back home."

Azka was silent pervading all of Kelvin's words. Slowly, his empty brain began to imagine what his mother's past had just been told by Kelvin.

"Until the end, a year passed. There was no clear news from him. Nor does he know where it is." The continuation of Kelvin sontak remove Azka from his reverie. His attention began to return to the man.

"And after that year, your mother came back unexpectedly. He came to Eyang crying. In his trunk he brought a baby boy who was none other than you."

Azka was stunned to hear Kelvin's words just now. He wanted to interrupt and ask, but his lips were as if they were motionless.

"He cried and kept begging for Eyang to take his place to take care of you. If Om also did not hear wrong, he said your mother was left behind by the man who he once loved so much that he made him choose recklessly and cut off family relations."

"So, Mama got dumped?" Azka's question was answered by a nod of the head by Kelvin. The hell he had to keep quiet when his uncle was doing a storytelling session. He was too anxious to know everything immediately.

Kelvin took his breath back. "At first, Eyang refused his request. But after Eyang saw what your face looked like, he also collapsed. So that you become the favorite grandson of Eyang. Which always means you. Whatever you want, he doesn't hesitate to give it. But one thing he can't give you" Kelvin paused for a moment, making Azka guess.

"A complete family." Further. Being able to make Azka instantly speechless is still trying to digest all the words from Kelvin.

"So you asked me, why is not even your mom's information or photos in our house?" Kelvin again voiced, making Azka's attention again turned to him.

"It was because Eyang was still vengeful with him who easily broke off the relationship for a man who even eventually left him. All the information and memories about your mother have been destroyed by her. Therefore, no matter how much you seek, you will never know until any time."

Drrt... Drtts... Drtts...

The ringing sound of the cell phone woke Azka from her daydream. Slowly, the man began to enforce his standing position with one of his hands fumbling through one of his jacket pockets to grab the object.

When the rectangular flat object was now fully in his grasp, the man's forehead immediately wrinkled as the name 'Juna' was on his phone screen.

"Tumben's my calling boy? What's up, huh?" Azka muttered to herself, still staring at her phone screen. Not wanting to waste any more time, the guy started picking up calls from Juna, then sticking the phone in one of his ears.

"Yok! What's up, suddenly-tib—"

"Woi! Buruan came to the hospital! Kenzo is being treated!"

"Huh?! Seriously lo? How can?"

"Where do I know! He hasn't been human yet! Aunty Chelsea has been crying because the child has not been aware!"

"Share lock, Jun! I'm going there now!"

"okay! Spots, yeah!"

"Yes! That's why share lock!" The second call ended with Juna ending it from across the street.

Shortly thereafter, a notification sound entered Azka's phone. A chat message from Juna that sent the location of the hospital where Kenzo was being treated hastily immediately the man checked carefully.

Azka put her phone back in her jacket pocket. As if he knew where the address was, the man rushed down from the roof of the building. In the depths of her heart, Azka unceasingly continued to pray her best so that one of her best friends Kenzo would not suffer serious injuries.

...****...

The afternoon had changed and Kenzo was still unconscious. Chelsea and Kenan as his parents were worried about half-dead. Especially Chelsea who incidentally a mother. Which mother would calm down when she saw her child lying helplessly with bruises and blisters all over her body?! The woman had even cried so many times that her two eyeballs started to drip.

While Kanza, the girl was sitting stiffly in one of the waiting chairs in front of the VIP inpatient room, where Kenzo received further treatment.

The girl is not alone. He is accompanied by Alma and Kayla as well as Alex and Kenzo children who also come there to entertain Kanza and want to know the latest news from Kenzo.

"You really don't know why Kenzo was like that?" Kanza took a breath while staring at one by one his friends Kenzo started from Juna, Rio, Haykal, then continued on Alex.

Rio and Alex compactly shook their heads not knowing. As for Haykal, that guy hasn't been married for a day, he can tell what!? In contrast to Juna who looked speechless with both of his eyebrows furrowing deeply.

"I think I was just about the twin of you saying something, huh," said Juna made all his friends immediately turn their attention to him.

"Seriously? So, what's he talking about?" Kanza asked impatiently. Next to his hand he used to wipe the remaining tears that pooled in one of his eyes.

Juna sighed while frowning. "He said he wanted to meet an old enemy! I keep asking him; want me to go, right? He said; no, I can do it myself. After that, Kenzo told me to go home first,"

"Old enemy? Who?" Alex frowned with his focused attention on Juna.

"Don't make Kenzo like this, the old enemy!?" Haykal started guessing. While Rio, the guy seemed to be thinking hard trying to find answers to Juna's words.

"But whose question is it?" Alex again expressed his curiosity that has not been solved.

On the other hand, Kanza has been made hot cold when Juna's words about Kenzo's old enemies continue to ring in his brain. Both of his hands suddenly shook. His mind was no longer able to think rationally. The horrifying memory fragments from a few years ago that he had long forgotten seemed to come back to him.

Old enemy. Kanza knows very well who Kenzo meant to Juna.

Alma and Kayla who realize Kanza's change are clearly panicked, so Alex and the others turn to the girl.

"Za! What's up, Za!?" Alma touches Kanza's hand, but the girl reflexively brushes him off.

Shortly after, Kanza's cries began to break, leaving everyone panicking and wondering. When Alma and Kayla try to persuade Kanza and calm her down, Alex restrains the two of them and tells her to move away a little. Let her calm him down.

"Za!" Alex crouches down in front of Kanza who is still faithfully sitting on the waiting chair. The look of his face was so depressed with both of his hands shaking violently. When Alex was about to grab both hands, Kanza immediately placed both hands on both ears. Her crying was breaking even more.

Seeing that strange thing, everyone was instantly dumbfounded. What happened to Kanza?

"Za! What's wrong, hm? Za?" Alex has not given up on calming Kanza. The guy tried his best to stay calm so as not to scare Kanza.

Unfortunately, her crying became even more. He even roared with occasional shaking his head.

Alex and the others were silent. Kanza's attitude really made them think on one possibility. Yet none of them actually dared to conclude.

Looking at Kanza who still looks the same, suddenly the corner of Alex's heart felt so painful as if something had just pinched him. He thought he knew everything about the girl. But apparently, there is a lot he does not know. For example, at this time.

Alex knows why Kanza is like this. But he doesn't know the reason behind it. To be sure, at any time, he will not leave Kanza, no matter what the circumstances.

Slowly but surely, Alex takes Kanza into his arms. Although the girl will occasionally rebel, but Alex can still resist and calm him. A gentle swipe on his back area was unceasingly Alex kept giving Kanza accompanied by a soft hiss from his mouth.

Slowly, Kanza's cries began to subside. He was no longer rebelling like before. His breath that was originally stingy was slowly starting to get regular. But the sound of his sobbing can still be heard.

Carefully, Alex began to loosen his embrace. His gentle gaze began to stare at Kanza's pair of soft-eyed beads that were slightly reddened by her cries just now.

"Kenzo's old enemy..." Kanza said slowly making the others spontaneously get closer to the girl. As for Alex, the guy still remains in his position with a pair of neutrals fixed on Kanza.

"Lo know who he is, Za?" Kayla asked a little loudly. Alma's reflexes elbowed the girl accompanied by a sharp shot.

"Gue... D-he... He won't—"

"Will not what? Try a slow story, hm?" Alex is still trying to ask softly even though in his heart he is very curious.

"Dia—" the sound of the door opening from the direction of the room where Kenzo was treated stopped Kanza's intention to speak. The attention of the girl and everything immediately turned to a middle-aged woman who was none other than Chelsea, the mother. The woman came out of her son's hospital room after nearly hours of her stay.

His eyes were not as happy as before. Faintly looks a thin smile on his face aimed at Kanza, his daughter. Before long, the woman approached Kanza and then pulled one of her hands to make the girl stand up.

"Kenzo is conscious. He wants to see you" said Chelsea. A sincere smile then appeared on her beautiful face.

A sigh of gratitude sprang from the mouths of Alex and the others. While Kanza, when the girl heard her twin had fully regained consciousness, she immediately ran into the room to meet Kenzo.

...****...

The man called om turned his body. His forehead seemed to be frowning with his usual eye gaze always cold when he met Alex.

"Why is it here? No nemenin Kanza?" Kenan then turned his attention to a pharmacist who gave some drugs with the prescribed dose.

Afterwards, the man's attention returned to Alex. Both of his legs also seemed to step closer to the young man so that the position of the two then became next to each other.

"Kanza again in Kenzo nemenin," said Alex who was briefly reciprocated by Kenan.

"Emm, Um!" Call him again, make Kenan's footsteps and then stop so Alex's footsteps come to a halt.

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to ask?" Alex nodded steadily.

"Actually, Kanza why Om?"

"meaning?" Kenan's face turned even colder with the look of his eyes that looked squeaky.

Before actually continuing his question, Alex caught his breath first. He tried to prepare himself if at any time Kenan would suddenly be angry over the question that might be considered tarnished.

"So Kanza was suddenly hysterical, Om. Actually what has been passed by Kanza until he suddenly became like that? Is there anything I don't know?"

Kenan is instantly silenced by a question from Alex. The gaze of his eyes that were originally squeaking was slowly beginning to disappear and was replaced with a look full of sadness and regret. Every now and then, the man would swallow his saliva for a moment when the terrible shadow a few years ago experienced by his daughter turned back automatically in his head.

Not wanting to continue to be swept away in the shadow of the past, Kenan then tightly closed both his eyeballs. His pull and breath sounded so deep. His pair of eyeballs looked slightly reddened, and everything made Alex even more convinced that something had happened in Kanza's life that made her behave this way.

Kenan's attention then returned to Alex. "Actually, there are some things you don't know about Kanza and also the reason why I am so against you two's relationship,"

Hearing Kenan's words to her, Alex was clearly stunned. He could only remain silent even though the man had prepared dozens of questions that he would ask Kenan.

"Alex!" Kenan touched one of Alex's field shoulders. His look looked so serious.

"Kanza's been traumatized and mentally not doing well. He will suddenly experience anxiety and fear that his past memories will return. And what had made him like that was," Kenan paused for a moment. His lips suddenly became muddled and his brain began to rethink.

"What is it, Om? Why did Om stop?"

Kenan took a deep breath and then exhaled. "It was a man who was obsessed with Kanza, to the point of making her behave recklessly, to make Kanza have a trauma that can never be forgotten."

Both of Alex's hands then began to clenched tightly with his breath that was almost stung. Another fact he just learned about Kanza from Kenan upset Alex himself.

He is her boyfriend, but Alex doesn't know anything about the trauma Kanza has experienced!? Is he really still Kanza's girlfriend? Why is it so big he doesn't know? Alex felt he was very incompetent because even that big thing he was still being told.

"Oh, yeah. Kanza did not want to be stopped by anyone and did not want to get out of the room after the incident. He is often crying, often moody, always closed and he also had time to not want to go to school. And that happened when Kanza was still Junior High,"

"MOM?" Kenan nodded while sighing.

"Actually, the strongest reason why I told you to stay away from Kanza is not because of your family. Although your family is cold and strict, but Geo's direction to educate his children amazed me a little" Kenan smiled as he imagined what Geo was also his friend when he was in college, when educating their children to obey.

"Then, what's the reason Om told me to stay away from Kanza?" Alex's question made Kenan aware. In a few seconds, the man began to beat.

"Before, Om apologized for alluding to your family. But the Om fears more than that. Om afraid that if at any time you know Kanza is often unstable, you will stay away from Kanza so that my little daughter again grieves. I don't want that to happen,"

Alex was silent again. Her lips are back together and her head is filled with all the words from Kenan about Kanza and also the reason behind the man always being against their relationship.

"Kanza has gone to several psychiatrists to relieve her trauma. But, it's all for nothing. The trauma is still there and it is becoming more and more impossible to remove. However, I don't know what Kenzo has said to his twin sister so Kanza slowly starts to break away from confining herself until she finally wants to go back to school." Kenan's eyes were almost back in tears, but the man stopped him by raising his head to the ceiling.

"So, if you think Kanza looks okay, you're wrong. He tried to cover up his fear of trauma by smiling and laughing until the people who saw him thought that his life looked so perfect" Kenan again let out a long sigh. The look in his eyes fell on Alex who looked slightly down.

"So Alex, did you start to dislike Kanza after I said this?"

Alex raised his head immediately upon hearing Kenan's question. His forehead also seemed to shrivel deeply with a domineering flat gaze.

"Why don't I like Kanza?" The words from Alex made Kenan reflex round his eyes.

"Until any time and like anything Kanza, I will never leave just because Kanza has flaws. I love Kanza for who she is, nothing. So Om, please don't keep me away from Kanza!"

...****...

"Udah dong .. don't cry anymore! I'm still alive, Za," Kenzo still had time to smile mischievously at Kanza, even though almost all the corners of his face had been filled with bandages and bruises.

Kanza pulled his snot while gently hitting one of Kenzo's arms with tears that had not yet been wiped away.

"Omongon you're not funny know! I am afraid of why-why-why-why!!! Why is it so cute anyway? I'm tabok, here!" Kanza showed one of her hands to Kenzo's face making her reflexes chuckle softly as she grimaced.

"Udah, don't cry anymore. I'm still alive and I won't die easily just from being beaten up by a doang. You think I'm easily crushed potatoes? I am iron! Even if it is destroyed it can still be repaired, eaaak.." said Kenzo sound so weak but able to make a smile printed on the look of Kanza's face.

"That's dong, smile. I'll add uwaw!" Kelakar Kenzo's. Again and again, Kanza patted the guy's hand gently until it made him hissing reflex.

"Lo is sick again! Can you not joke around? I almost lost you! I don't know how scared I was! I'm not ready to live alone in this world, Zo! Only you from small until now who always take care of me, nenanging me, entertain me who is very, very weak. I even forgot when was the last time you were actually happy other than because you always entertained me! Lo even martial arts learn martial arts for the sake of being able to take care of me from my evil people! You even got injured, but you can still laugh! Can you not be a person not strong? Show your weaknesses if you are not strong! Don't!" Kanza evaporated all her emotions until her tears completely flooded her beautiful face. His pair of eyes had been puffy as a result of him constantly crying for so long because of Kenzo.

Yep. Because of that guy.

Although sometimes Kenzo always shows a side that is so annoying, but actually Kenzo is a real protective figure for Kanza.

Where Kanza is hurt, there will be Kenzo who swiftly hugs and comforts him at all costs. If he did not have a twin like Kenzo, Kanza may be very destroyed.

Kenzo smiled faintly at Kanza who was still crying at him. Although in his heart he also actually wanted to cry, let alone the words spoken by his twin brother seemed to penetrate the deepest corner of his heart.

"If I'm weak, who will take care of me? A ghost?" Kenzo chuckles. A tear escaped from one of his eyes without him noticing.

Kanza did not answer him. The girl took the time to wipe away the rest of her tears with an occasional palpitation.

"So, who made you into a gini? Not ... She, is she?" Kanza said, making a thin smile on Kenzo's face then faded.

"Vando! M-not her, is it?" Kanza's breathing was heavier than ever. But as much as possible the girl looked ordinary as if nothing had ever happened.

Kenzo was silent for a moment. Every now and then the guy would gulp his hard-earned saliva before he would actually say something that might shake Kanza again.

"No matter how much I take care of you! I'm not going to suffer!" His word. Canza's body is able to sculpt with the mind that floated back in the moment where he felt a terrible fear.

Tok tok!

The sound of the door knocking accompanied by the door that opened instantly instantly distracted Kanza and Kenzo. Glancing at the open door, Alex and his other friends, Rio, Haykal, Juna and Azka who had just arrived a moment ago, walked into Kenzo's ward.

The five men display a flat face look almost unexpressed, even though Kenzo had told their silly five.

"Lo is all here as well? To my surprise, "Kenzo chuckles softly, making his other friends then hiss annoyed at the guy.

"Diem lo! Can you still joke? You're making us all worry you know!?" Rio exploded which was instantly carried a nod of agreement by Juna and the others.

"By the way we are, who has made your Successor to the Neighbor's Family battered? Tell me, all I do santet them," Azka chimed in, making Haykal then sat me softly on the guy's arm. The look on his face that looked serious immediately turned silly. A look of grimness rose on his handsome face.

"Let's not tense, elaah." said Azka, reply to the slow pangs by Kenzo.

"Udah, don't be noisy. Kenzo has not healed a day, and even worse because of your commotion," continued Juna who immediately embraced the other.

Feeling a little awkward standing in the middle of his friends Kenzo, Kanza finally chose to retreat from the room. Before the girl actually left after she had previously permission first on Kenzo, her gaze unintentionally stole a glance at Alex.

But when a fact that it turns out the guy is also staring at him, Kanza immediately turned her eyes and then looked down deeply. His heart also felt so racing. Not because of a feeling of happiness, but a feeling of fear that can not be stopped.

Yep! Fearful. Afraid of the real thing Alex has really known. Or perhaps, his two best friends Alma and Kayla have found out about the other side of him.

On the other hand, Alex stared flat at Kanza's back which was getting away so that in the end it was completely invisible to his net.

The shadow a moment ago when he had a four-eye conversation with Kenan made the man recall Kanza's past that was still so faint in his head. Kenan says, if he wants to know every inch of Kanza's story, then he should ask Kenzo. He is the one who is really there when Kanza is in any condition.

"Zo! Si Juna said, you could talk if you want to meet with your old enemy? Tell me the same we. Is he the one who made you look like this?" Haykal said that suddenly Alex's daydream immediately spread for a moment. The attention of the man then turned to Haykal, then continued on Kenzo.

Kenzo seemed silent for a moment. But in the next second, the guy slightly flicked his shoulder making Alex and the others reflex frown.

"Yes, it can't be. You see, I'm his men,"

"Huh? She has any men?" Rio interrupted.

Kenzo nodded as he exhaled a long breath. "He's the head of the motorcycle gang. There's no way he doesn't have any men?!"

Alex clutched his fists firmly with deeply furrowed brows. "Did she also traumatize Kanza?" The words of Alex who was impressed suddenly made his friends then shifted his focus on the man.

No exception Kenzo who also began to look at one of his friends with a look of disbelief.

"Lo ... know where?" Kenzo's question makes the focus of Juna, Haykal, Rio and Azka then turn to him.

Alex strengthened his jaws with an irregular breathing. Both of his hands were getting stronger.

"Zo!" The call from the guy made Kenzo a little flutter. Meanwhile, his friends are made question marks with attitudes and questions that are not understood by Kenzo and Alex.

"Please tell me everything about Kanza! I want to know about him, everyone!"
