Ghost Love Story's
CHAPTER 64 ~ Actual Identity ~

Axel told me what happened while he wasn't with Athena. Athena did not expect that Hardy would be cruel like that to Axel who had so much faith in her.

Axel tells about the meeting with Hardy as well how he felt about the man.

"I have considered him a close friend because I also feel close to him. In every occasion, every incident I always feel sympathy for his life but I don't know what belongs to him. He seemed to like me so much, to love me, but it turned out that behind it he held envy. I was so sad when I realized he was my twin brother. Athena, my twin brother wants to take my life. Just imagine, even though at that time he felt I was someone else. But still, he must not intend that. Taking people's lives for the sake of wanting to rule that person's life," Axel said lying on his side in a recliner over Athena's lap.

The girl heard Axel groaning as she stroked the handsome man's hair.

"That means what Mommy told you back then is true. Mommy's having a hidden twins pregnancy?" ask Athena.

"Right, dear" Axel said as he turned to face Athena.

"You knew? When I mentioned the hidden twins my brain immediately felt like it had talked about it before. Like dejavu, I want to remember it but I can't. The more I tried to remember it, the more I forgot but couldn't get out of my mind and made my head dizzy. Until I finally fell unconscious" explained Axel.

"Until you collapse?" ask Athena wonder.

Axel got up from his fall on Athena's lap and sat down facing the girl.

"Yes, I fainted, I don't know how long but all those four years were like a repeat in my dream" Axel said.

"All that stuff?" ask Athena wonder.

"Yes, I kind of looked back at everything from the moment I fainted and woke up on the rooftop. Living alone in that school without anyone seeing me. Only able to communicate with the ghosts at school until finally meet and get acquainted with you," Axel said as he looked at the face of the girl he loved.

"really? Brother watching everything again?" ask Athena

"Yes, from the moment you greet me, I'm coming with you to this room. Waiting for you, waking you up, everything even as you ran from the bathroom with the towel you were wearing hastily because of that cockroach I saw too. You're so hot, do you remember?" asked the old Axel to the length of his voice like a whisper.

Athena smiled, the girl could not forget the incident. Because joking there are cockroaches, it turns out there are actually cockroaches that make Athena shocked and frightened.

"I almost went out without wearing anything, because usually in my room there was no one. But remember there's a big brother in my room, I'm back. If you forget, it's bad" said Athena with a red face.

"It's normal, no problem. I'd never say a ghost could see another person bathing. It's normal, after all, ghosts that gossip doesn't sound like humans. Also can't post anyone who's taking a shower. If that day you came out without a towel too, I was most just silent will not spread the scandal of Athena's innocent body to anyone," Axel said with a seductive smile.

"Yes, no problem for Brother but a big problem for me. Especially now that Big Brother is conscious, has become human and remembers the incident. If it really happened, how shameful I am right now" Athena replied with a sullen face.

"Then what? At that time, you removed your tank top when you wanted to surrender yourself to me. What do you have to plan to remove your tank top if you don't want to ..," asked Axel.

"Don't you know, this sister is shy about it" said Athena with reddened cheeks. Axel smile.

"I also look back on when you wanted to practice kissing. After seeing that then I feel I have been looking for all kinds of ways so that I can channel my love for you through that kiss," said Axel again.

"The words I love you Athena, are so fixed in my mind. Makes me believe that I really love you until I finally see myself saying it to you many times" Axel continued.

"I'm sorry baby, I must have hurt your heart by saying that I love Hani" Axel said.

Axel recalled his words to Athena.

I can't explain everything to you. But I obviously love Hani. I'm pretty sure that the girl I love is Hani. I can't force myself to love you.

"I saw you cry at my words, but I didn't realize I was so tight on you. I saw your tears dripping down your lap but I don't care. I also saw you thanking me for filling up your days, you immediately went running while crying. When I saw that, I wanted to chase you. It's like seeing myself being stupid for saying that to you. I've seen myself hurt you. In a dream I ran after you, begging you to come back. Begging not to listen to Axel's stupid words. But you kept running away making my heart feel frustrated until I finally realized from fainting. I woke up calling your name. I wanted to chase you like I did in my dreams. I'm afraid I'm losing you, Athena. I can't afford to lose you, I'm sorry Athena, I'm sorry baby" Axel said, hugging the beautiful girl.

Athena nodded. Athena returned the embrace of the man who had accompanied her all this time.

"I forgive Big Brother" said Athena who imagined her sad days since Axel refused her love and declared love for Hani.

The girl lost everything. When I woke up in the morning there was no Axel next to him. At night, no Axel asked him to talk. There was no longer that man at the time of the two alternations of time. Made Athena really lose everything. That man and that man's love.

But now Axel begged and apologized to him. It is certain that he cannot afford to lose Athena. The girl could not resist because she herself could not afford to lose the man.

The next day Axel invites Athena to visit, Hardy who is still hospitalized. Athena herself felt the need to explain her feelings to Hardy. Axel and his parents let Athena talk to Hardy alone.

Athena explained about her feelings for Axel. About everything she experienced with Axel and how much she loved him.

"You intend to deceive me? Willing to be my girlfriend but in your heart to love another man" Hardy said.

"Sister, I didn't mean it that way, I once said I seriously wanted to find a reasonable love. I didn't cheat Big Brother, I'm serious about it. I love Brother Axel who is in the form of a ghost. I didn't know if it turned out that Axel was alive and in a coma. In our hearts, our love will not be possible. Axel asked me to find someone I could love, to live happily with him, as I tried to be with Hardy. Sorry, Brother Hardy, I don't know how to explain it. After I try, I can't ..., I ...,"

"Can't love me? Because your true love has appeared? He has woken up, stood before you and again wants to get you completely. I feel that you're just using me as an experiment to find a companion to life without love, because your love is only for Axel" Hardy replied directly.

"Sister, I'm sorry" said Athena finally resigned.

"I love you Athena, you made me really fall in love with you. Aren't you being too cruel? After giving me hope, you dumped me after meeting your love?" ask Hardy.

"Sister, I mean not like that, I ...,"

"It's Athena, whatever you say, just sounds like an excuse. I can't force your heart on me either. Go then! Live happily with your true love. May you be happy forever" said Hardy, turning his face the other way.

"I'm sorry sister" said Athena softly with teary eyes.

Hardy was silent, Athena standing from the chair beside Hardy's bed. Stepped out with a sad heart for not getting any forgiveness from Hardy. The girl went to see Axel, ma'am. Olivia and Tom Cullen stood up to greet the sad Athena. Mrs. Olivia, who knew their story, deeply understood Athena's feelings. Immediately hugged the girl to calm her grieving heart.

"Give him time, one day Hardy will definitely accept this reality. Love can't be forced, you may feel like you can love Hardy because it's similar to Axel. But the truth is now that Axel appears before you. You have no reason to force yourself to love her anymore" Olivia comforted Athena.

The girl turned to Axel, the man smiled. Mrs. Olivia explained the situation

"Athena, we've done a DNA test, most likely Hardy is our son. That's why we want you to set your heart, at first Mommy didn't think that Hardy was also Mommy's son. That's why Mommy directs you to love Axel who is our real son, because we don't want to let you go. We love you for that, we want you to remain our future daughter-in-law. You're not forced to love Axel, are you? Or have you already loved Hardy?" ask Olivia.

Athena shook her head.

"Athena still loves Axel's sister, Mommy," said Athena.

Mrs. Olivia smiled, then hugged Athena.

"Mommy's glad you're sticking to your stance. Actually, whoever your love is between them, Mommy feels good as long as you remain Mommy's daughter-in-law" explains Olivia.

"Mommy, not to anyone! I just want Athena to love me" Axel protested.

"Alright, alright, Athena is only for you," Olivia said with a laugh.

"Athena, you just calm down. About Hardy let Mommy who love her understanding. If you can't turn away from Axel. It's his own fault why he disguised himself as Axel. So it's only natural that you think about trying to accept it" Olivia said with a smile.

"Sorry, baby, I can only take you by taxi, knowing my life stopped in class X so I do not have a Driving Permit. If I'm looking for a license letter I have," Axel said. Athena laughs.

"Oh yeah, where? Who issues a Competing Permit?" ask Athena.

"Mama dong, if you want I can ask for it now" Axel said.

"Too confident, not necessarily Mama want to issue a Pursuing Permit Letter," said Athena and immediately laughed restrained.

"Surely, if you don't want to, my daughter I'll run, '" Axel said.

Athena laughed again, Axel looked at Athena who was walking beside him. The girl also looked at Axel. The man raised Athena's hand and kissed the back of her hand.

"I'm happy Athena, you really can have. Now I can understand why Hardy wants to marry you so soon" Axel said with a sad look.

"Why?" ask Athena.

"For you can no longer escape from his embrace, and he is eager to channel his love for you, because you are so adorable. I know that because I just felt it. I wanted so much to make sure you were mine that I could channel my love for you. I also want to marry you soon Athena" Axel said.

"Class X kids want to get married soon? Listen to me as your upperclassman! I want to advise, study first diligently so that it can be finished quickly," said Athena then smiled sweetly.

Axel admired Athena's sweet smile.

"Look, in a short time I will get a letter of graduation from High School, if necessary I will study hard in order to beat you. I can't, at least I can finish high school with you" Axel said.

"Oh yeah? Can it be like that? Prove it!" exclaim Athena.

"What would be the reward if I could end up with you?" ask Axel.

"Whatever you want" said Athena.

"Deal" Axel said with a smile.

Athena laughed, in her heart she was sure Axel could definitely do it.

Sis Axel is very smart, he certainly can do it, it used to be precisely he who taught me to enter the top ten highest values in try out, I believe Kak Axel can definitely catch up with him. I believe Brother Axel can definitely finish at the same time as me, Inner Athena.

Both also promised to study hard in order to carry out UN well. Hardy's DNA test results came out and as expected, Hardy's DNA test results showed positive 99.99% were the sons of both partners. Olivia and Mr. Tom Cullen's.

Mrs. Olivia hugged her son, whose whereabouts have never been known.

"It turns out you are indeed our son, Mommy is happy to finally have Mommy's big question so far has got an answer" said Olivia.

"Big question?" ask Hardy.

"Yes, when Mommy gave birth to you. Mommy feels she gave birth to two children but no one admits it. At that time, Mommy was stressed because she was not trusted. The hospital even accused Mommy of dreaming of giving birth for the second time. Mommy even experienced baby blues syndrome on the charge. Mommy is sure what happened but no one witnessed the birth of the second baby. Now that it's clear, we can sue the hospital for accusing Mommy of lying. And it was the hospital's negligence that kept our son apart from us and led a difficult life" Tom Cullen said.

"Hardy, we'll forgive you for the attempted murder of Axel. Axel has forgiven you too. With a big heart your sister forgave your actions that put her in a coma for years. Your sister is saddened by the suffering you experienced while separated from us, because Axel once lived life as you who have to work to meet your needs. Are you willing to recount this past incident son and want to be our son? We will take care of your identity recognition as our son" Olivia said.

Hardy was speechless, during hearing the explanation from the two old men. For four years they had indeed been her parents even though in Hardy's heart, she felt that she had deceived them. At midnight, Hardy realized his mistake by committing an act that left his son in a coma in the hospital.

However, Hardy's ambition to be successful made him have to eliminate his guilt for having already chosen that path in order to realize the desire to be a person who has a better life.

Hardy stared at Axel who was also staring at him waiting for an answer from him.

"Axel, is my sister?" ask Hardy.

Mr. Tom Cullen nodded, Miss. Olivia explained what Uncle Budi and Aunt Hayati had told them.

"For more details, you can ask directly to Uncle and Aunt who have been caring for you since childhood" said Olivia.

"You really forgive me?" hardy asked Axel.

"Yes, Hardy uh ... Brother," replied Axel.

"It's okay, no need to call me brother. I never acted as your brother either. You are the one who often leads me to live my life right. Even without us knowing you have been following my wishes all along. It shows your obedience as a sister that we do not realize if it turns out it is true" said Hardy.

"Yes, Hardy maybe as a twin we have a sense of attachment without us knowing it" Axel said.

"I apologize to you for all my evil deeds to you" Hardy said with teary eyes.

"I have forgiven you, I am sincere about everything that has happened. I take this as wisdom in bringing us together as siblings" Axel said.

Hardy smiled but his tears dripped, the man nodded and spread his hands. Axel approached and hugged his brother. His parents came and hugged them.

"Are you really sincere about everything?" ask Hardy.

"Yes Hardy" said Axel as he took off his arms.

"You're also sincere Athena to me?" ask Hardy.

Axel was flabbergasted, quickly the man shook his head while waving his hand.

"Sorry! If for that one I can't, he's everything to me" Axel said.

"Basic! He said he was sincere about everything" Hardy said with a laugh.

"You have Hani, Hani's love for you is very sincere. Until now Hani is still expecting you, meet him before it's too late because Hani will be married. I came to make sure I felt for her. I rejected Athena and looked for Hani but all I met was the fact that Hani loved you. From before I met him until now, in his eyes I was Hardy. Despite our attitude, our nature is different but Hani still loves you. He accepts all your traits, all your capricious treatment like a double personality, but he still loves you, because his love is sincere with you. I also thought my heart loved Hani. But I finally found a vision of my true feelings for Athena. Athena's fate met with Hani which eventually made Athena investigate our resemblance," Axel explained at length.

"Hani? Then let's meet his family, before it's too late. Before the girl accepts to be married," Olivia said with a panicked face.

"How's Hardy?" ask Axel.

"Don't regret it later, son. You won't be able to find true love like Hani's love for you" Tom Cullen said.

After a moment of silence, Hardy finally nodded. Mrs. Olivia was very happy and hugged her son. Hardy smiled at Axel, the handsome man returned his smile. Mr. Tom Cullen patted Axel on the back, they embraced.
