...Happy Reading's...
...❤...
The day had almost changed, as Keenan staggered towards his apartment with an erratic feeling. He could not accept the words of the woman he had helped this morning, all too sudden and shocking.
His heart felt tight every time he remembered all that, he regretted also feeling as a useless man.
How could the power of the family and his intelligence as if he could not find the truth about Luna so far, the truth that was hidden so neatly, that he could not find a gap for her.
Even an Ezra could be fooled by the family's charade, Keenan chuckled incisively remembering all that.
They have been deceived, deceived by the request of someone who is dying.
Can't, he can't accept all that, why it feels so painful, why it feels so stifling, just because he heard all the truth.
He wanted to be disappointed, he wanted to be angry, and vent all that. But to whom? To himself, who had been so foolish, or to Luna, one could no longer reach him.
The shadow of his conversation with the woman he had helped in the hospital, kept ringing in his mind.
Flashbacks
"Keenan?"
Keenan who had not expected much and chose to give up asking for an explanation, now lifted his head, looking at the woman. This very woman was walking slowly towards him.
His heart beat faster as the request got closer to him, Keenan did not take his eyes off that pale face and that one.
"Do you still remember me?" ask Keenan, as if not believing.
"Are you really, Keenan?" instead of answering the woman asked again.
"Yes, I'm Keenan, don't you recognize me anymore?" keenan asked, he saw every facial expression in front of him.
The woman nodded, that's not what she meant.
"Not so, I don't know you" said the woman.
Keenan frowned at the words of the woman in front of him, did he misunderstand the man? No way, he still remembers how the woman who always filled his heart.
Obviously not too much has changed from the woman, it's just that she looks more contained and also growing up, of course it could have happened because of the time she has passed.
"What do you mean?" keenan asked, with deeply knit eyebrows.
The woman was silent as if she was thinking about something. Keenan did not take his eyes off, he did not understand at all what the woman in front of him said.
'If she wasn't Luna, then why did she know her name? And why is he so similar to Luna?' mumbling Keenan's heart.
"I'm Alana, not Alana" he hesitated.
Keenan increasingly did not understand, which he knew Luna did not have a twin, he had never seen or even heard of Luna's twin.
"Where?" muttered Keenan, repeating the words of the woman in front of him.
"You're not avoiding me, are you, Lun?" ask Keenan.
"You don't want to quibble for not explaining it to me?" press Keenan again.
The woman, who claimed to be Alana, shook her head repeatedly, rejecting questions leading to the accusations leveled by Keenan.
"Then, how can you be so similar to him? And, you know my name too?" ask Keenan.
"I knew all that from Luna, she told me everything about you and about your relationship. He recounts the moments with you in detail to me, every day, until I feel I know you, even without knowing how you look and look." Alana began her story, her eyes glaring back in time a few years ago.
Keenan looked unbegeming as he looked at Alana's face so seriously, his hearing sharpened as if there was something he missed in one word.
"Yes, the one he never let me know about you, your face and your full name, so that I can't find your whereabouts. She doesn't want me to tell you about herself, she thinks so much about how you feel, that she's no longer concerned about her own feelings."
Keenan could see that the eyes now looked teary, with a voice that began to roar, holding back the cry.
"We're both identical twins who were separated as babies, for a reason. I was taken care of by my grandparents, while he was taken care of by our parents. We met after I followed him abroad."
"Autside the country?" Keenan felt awkward with that word, because all he knew was that Luna had no plans to go abroad.
"Yes, he went abroad, for treatment. One week after you guys had your school farewell." Alana looked into Keenan's eyes with a sense of uncertainty, she didn't know if he was doing anything right or wrong, only that he wanted to explain to the man loved by his twin brother.
"Medicated? Whatchu mean? He was not sick, as long as I was with him he was never seen being ill, except asthma, " urged Keenan, asking for an explanation.
Alana smiled with a single tear spout escaping from the fertilizer.
"That's Aluna, she's been friends with her pain since childhood until she never considered it. He also managed to fool the people around him with the excuse of 'asma'."
Keenan memicing tried to digest Alana's words from beginning to end.
"Actually he never had asthma, that was just an excuse to cover up the real illness. He made use of the same kind of friendliness between the diseases he suffered in plain sight."
"Then, what pain does he really have? And where is he now?" ask Keenan, impatiently.
Luna smiled, she looked at Keenan with a amazed heart. Despite years of being abandoned by her twin sister, she still sees love in him.
'You're not wrong to love people, Lun. He is a good man and very loyal to you." muttered Alana.
"He had heart failure since birth" Alana said.
Deg.
Keenan stared at the words spoken by the woman in front of him. He shook his head slowly, refusing to believe any of it.
Chuckled with tears in his eyes. He could not accept all that, his heart and mind even felt empty, so surprised.
"Because we were identical twins and I could feel what Aluna was suffering from, the family decided to separate us, so that I wouldn't be tormented. However, all that turned out to be not very influential, I can still feel what he feels even though the distance separates us, and we both do not know that we have twin airs," obviously Alana, with tears hard to untangle.
"He never left you, Keenan. He never betrayed you, he just didn't want you to see himself in a sad state, he didn't want you to know his suffering, Keenan," Alana said.
Keenan was stunned, he could not accept everything Luna had done to him.
"How possible? How could he possibly do that to me? Does he doubt my love? Why can't he trust me? Do I still lack proof of my love for her, huh?!" asked Keenan, in a row, with a suppressing and restrained voice.
"No! Even he loves you so much, Keen. The love that made him do all that ..your love is also what made him last that far. You're the reason for her survival, Keen!" Alana shook her head, not accepting all of Keenan's words.
"Then, why can't he share his pain with me? Why can't he give me a chance to accompany him in the hard times? Why?!" asked Keenan again, he tilted his head, holding back the water that had been pressing in the eye.
