Hello Brothers: The Prince of Twins
Chapter 23 Janet's Request

A woman walked in haste in the midst of the almost dim twilight, the black veil that covered her head she held firmly as the wind blew about to blow her away.

Only a few more steps will he arrive at his destination, but his steps had stopped just because his heart continued to pound.

Hhhhhhhhuuuuhhh

One breath, his eyes fixed and he began to walk again, and a servant opened the gate for him so that he could enter. It took a few more steps and he arrived at the door, without knocking the same servant again opened the door for him.

"Madam, welcome" said a maid to him.

"Thank you, where's mom?"

"He's in his room"

"All right."

His shoes were heard knocking on the floor as he continued to step, after a long time he finally came to visit even though he was alone.

Hhhhhhuuhhhhhh

He exhaled again after arriving at a door, though hesitating he finally tried to knock.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

"Lock" said a voice from within.

Chequelek

As soon as the door opened he saw an old woman lying on the bed, her eyes that could not see clearly suddenly shed tears on her wrinkled cheeks.

"Mina.

"Mother." replied Mina while running to then hug her.

They continued to cry together, letting go of the longing that had been buried in the heart. Until a few minutes passed just for that, now Mina sat right beside her mother holding her wrinkled hand.

"How are your kids?" tanyakanya.

"They're fine mom, Agler grows up to be a good, smart young man while Ima becomes a very active girl"

"Ima. surely she is very similar to you, full of joy and ambitious"

"Yes... Colt often said that" said Mina.

But suddenly his mother's smile disappeared once he heard the name of his daughter-in-law, certainly because this was the reason for the separation of a mother and child.

"You look skinny, are you eating right? why are your hands so rough?" tanyanya while fumbling Mina's palm.

"I am no longer a young mother, Ima is even 15 years old. And although this hand was rough but he never got hurt, my two children always helped me with my work. I was happy with my simple life and even though I left my town but not with my mother's dream, I remained a fashion designer even on a small scale"

Hhhhhhh

"You're stubborn as always" his mother said with a breath.

"Mina, my mother's life is not long anymore. Thank you for coming home, one more request mom please take Ima just once"

"I'll take her, she'll be happy to meet her grandmother"

"Mina, since long ago you always denied the words of mother, even though mother often spoils you. But. maybe that's the mother's fault, which the mother gives only luxury not the attention and affection that should be. Later, if this happens again to your daughter let her choose what she wants. As a mother you have to put a damper on your selfishness, otherwise you'll be living alone at the end of your life just like you"

"Mother. hiks... "

Mina knew she was very selfish, since that was her nature and because of that she always got the stone. Still fresh in his memory, during his first encounter with Colt.

She was a sweet, graceful girl, a girl accustomed to the luxuries and rules of life. But when he fell in love with his selfishness made him an obedient slave, it is clear in the memory how Colt played with his heart just for pleasure when his true friend had reminded him.

That selfishness makes his friendship tenuous, lucky that his best friend is a very good person and never leaves him. Everything just goes on until finally Colt really fell in love with him, even for the love of it he was willing to make a deal with vampires.

All the obstacles they went through together as lovers, there was a time when they separated but reunited and Mina was convinced that was the power of love. Until finally they decided to get married at a young age, new obstacles must be faced.

The desire was about hard by his mother and Colt's parents, especially when Colt was a model who just penetrated the world of acting. The agency also tried to separate them in various ways, but the determination of the two was unanimous.

Mina and Colt choose to walk away from their glamorous lives, especially Mina who has been traumatized at the battle making them finally decide to become simple ordinary people.

Heartache because in about by her own child makes Janet become indifferent, so long they did not meet or send news 18 years later came a letter to Mina.

It was the first letter Janet wrote to her, the letter says Janet's illness and her request that Mina return to her to inherit all of Janet's possessions and become a famous fashion designer.

But only one request of Janet can be fulfilled because she must remain hidden from the world, maybe the treasure Mina can accept but she will not use it if not for something more important.

"Mother.I have to go, soon the children will be home from their school" said Mina.

"Alright, but you have to promise to bring Ima here"

"I promise you" he answered.

Mina kissed her mother's forehead before she left the house.

* * *

"Have you seen him?" ask Colt after Mina.

Mina simply nodded in response, for the time being still not wanting to tell anything. Colt didn't force him either, as if nothing had happened they were acting as usual.

Colt has taken care of moving Ima to his new school, not the best but good enough for him. Agler no longer lives with Giant, but he still works in the market as usual even though the distance is further.

They're almost done tidying up, the plan is to make room on the roof for Nick. Of course it was needed so that Nick could rest without being disturbed by their activities, while Colt is now really working in the office like most husbands in the neighborhood.

"Let the mother lift up" Mina said as Agler was about to get up to pick up the phone.

"Hello." said Mina.

A voice answered the remark, Mina silently listened but slowly her expression turned stiff until she suddenly dropped the phone handle.

"What's wrong mom?" ask Agler.

Brucks

"Mother!" call Ima to see Mina suddenly fall down.

"Darling what's wrong? who's calling?" colt asked, worried.

"Hospital" Mina replied slowly.

Mina said a nurse had called her, and they immediately went to the hospital after hearing what the nurse had told her.

Mina's steps accelerated as they had reached the hospital, a man in a suit who had been waiting for them immediately pointed the way.

"This is the room" said the man stopped at one of the doors.

Mina gulped, holding Ima's hand before she opened the door. As soon as she was followed by Agler behind the curtains, Janet lay weakly, Mina could not help but feel sad when she saw it until finally she shed her tears.

The grip of his hand is getting tighter holding the hand of Ima while walking slowly towards the bed, he just released his hand after sitting on the chair.

"Mother." she called him while stroking Janet's gray hair.

Slowly Janet opened her eyes, smiling after seeing clearly.

"I have come to bring Ima" he continued slowly.

Janet's eyes moved along with her head slowly turning towards Ima, she smiled with tears in her eyes. His hand stretched out as if to reach Ima, Ima quickly grabbed the hand and got closer.

"My granddaughter. You're a big one" Janet said.

Usually Ima is very cute, but at that time there was no word that he could say. It's just fixating and letting Janet stroke it.

"A... Agler?" janet looked at the man behind Ima.

"Mm, he's my eldest son" Mina replied.

"Ke.. come on. kid" Janet said.

Agler immediately walked to the other side, just as Ima had also let Janet stroke him.

"You're very handsome.

For a while Janet did not speak, she stared fixedly at her two grandchildren. Trying to draw their faces in his mind to always remember how they looked, besides that he was also grateful to be given the opportunity to meet even if only once in his lifetime.

"In. mana.. Colt?" tanyakanya.

Mina lifted her head, looking for where her husband was. Agler immediately came out and found Colt standing right next to the door, after Agler said Janet was looking for him and he was coming in.

Her nervous heart suddenly shattered to see Janet's condition is not good, guilt whips her heart hard because it is what has made Janet in this condition.

But Janet herself smiled, finally she could see her son's family intact. He could see his son-in-law and granddaughter who were in good shape.

"Why..... You.. stood there? ke... come on. ", Janet said.

Trying to hold back Colt's tears as he moved to follow orders, he stood next to Agler and held Janet's hand gently.

"I... don't get mad at you. You... Mi.. na, I.. just sad... because... you guys decided to go" said Janet tried to talk even though her body was too weak.

"I'm sorry, please don't talk anymore. You have to rest a lot" Colt replied.

"Colt.... "

"Of course" Colt answered quickly.

"I... want to.. take a photo... with you guys. please... display our photo" said Janet with all her might.

Without thinking Colt immediately granted the request, he asked a nurse to take a photo of them with a camera that Janet had apparently prepared beforehand. Mina, Ima, Agler and Colt tried to smile even though their tears could not be contained anymore.

One shot was enough, Colt took back his camera and when he turned around he saw Janet had closed her eyes.

Before long he heard a scream that was greeted by sobs, it turned out to be his cry.

* * *

As per Colt's promise to display the photo in her living room, Mina still hasn't returned from the funeral home because the lawyer has some needs with her. Ima was confined to her room and crying all day since Janet's departure, although it was the first time she had met her grandmother but it was also the last day they met.

Agler himself looked stronger, but Colt was sure in his heart he was still crying. As a man he just wants to look tough in order to entertain others.

Chequelek

The door opened showing Mina who had just returned home, immediately Colt approached to give a comfortable hug. He takes Mina to the room to rest, but Mina just lies down without being able to fall asleep.

"All my mother's possessions have changed hands with me, she has not only given her wealth but also her abundant affection. But I as a child was not able to repay all that, until the end of his life I only gave a wound" said Mina full of regret.

Sssstttt

"No dear, you're innocent. Look at the deceased's face in the photo we took, he smiled" Colt said trying to cheer.
