The Twin Brothers

Lorenzo and Andreas walking in the woods with some of their men. It had been a few minutes since they tried to find Liana. The bomb has already been discussed, gladly. Now, they need to pray nothing happened to Liana.

“BABY!!!! LIANA!!!!” Enzo yells as loud as he can. No one knows how hard he tries to think positively that his baby is still alive and fine.

“DARLIANA!!!” Andreas helping.

They stop for a while. Enzo punches the tree causing it to crack a little bit. He swears he will kill anyone who is related to Damien if something happened to their girl.

“Enzo, calm down. I promise you she’s fine.” Andreas patted his shoulder. Only got slaps by him.

“Don’t promise me something you wouldn’t be sure about also.” He clenched his fist. “You saw her jump from the building!! Why don’t stop her!?” Enzo yells.

“Listen, En. I know you are angry and worried as hell. But believe me. I’m fucking worried too. So do the others. Without their sweet little leader, there’s no joy in your clan.” Andreas states.

“She should think before jumping. We promise each other to be together till the end of our breath.” Enzo pushes his hair behind. What does he have to do if their princess went?

Suddenly, one of their men talks. “C–Capo. I’m sorry to interrupt this moment. But can I say something?” He asks. Enzo gives him sharp glares only to make the guy looks away. “U–Um… if my lady jump from the building straight to the rushing water, don’t you think she is still in it? I mean, the rushing water flowing towards the waterfall.”

When he says that, they rush towards the river. There are only two things that can happen. One, she falls from the waterfall or she still survives holding onto anything she can reaches.

Once they reach, Enzo looks around. His heart beating rapidly. There are a lot of negative thoughts playing inside his mind. He didn’t see anything except for trees and rivers. “Capo!!! My lady is here!!” One of their men yells.

With that, they rush in his direction. Enzo push away the bushes and saw his princess on the ground. Her eyes close, soaking wet. He kneels down and brings her head to his lap. “Little baby. Wake up. Come on. Wake up for me.” He pats her chubby wet cheeks. He checks the smartwatch. Her heart rate was lower.

Andreas gets down on his knee and checks her pulse. “She is still alive. We need to bring her to the hospital. Her heart rate getting lower.” He states. Enzo picks up the girl in his arms.

Leo relaxing on his hospital bed. Magazine book in his hand. The front page was covered with his face. Not surprised at all he got the front page of the magazine.

“How you doing, brother.” Enzo walks in.

“Better. Kinda.” He puts away the magazine book on the desk. His twin set down the food on his lap. “Is it homemade food?” The plastic bag of food opened.

“You know I’m not good at cooking. So I ask Adam to cook. I don’t know is taste delicious or not.” Enzo shrugs his shoulder.

“Just hope he didn’t poison me.” Leo’s statement makes Enzo chuckle.

After their war, they straight to the hospital. Everything went back to normal. Damien’s dead body was found and they buried him. Leo got stitches on his stomach and only his twin knows how much he hates staying in the hospital.

With some of the nurses flirting with him. Not all. Just some of them. “How was our princess?” Leo asks, stuffing the food in his mouth.

“She still hasn’t woken up. The doctor said, her body was still weak. She needs to rest.” Enzo answers.

“When Felix told me, there are two stabs on Damien’s body and his neck being sliced, I was shocked. I couldn’t believe Liana will do that.” He chuckles. Just imagine a little girl who’s weak at first, kills one guy by herself.

“The thought of standing up for her loves one, makes her stronger. She really got Thaver’s blood. We both know she will be a sweet scaring leader.” Enzo jokes. His brother laughs a little.

“When we will… you know… make a move on her?” Leo looks at his twin.

“I’m not sure…” He sighs. “Do you think this is the right time? Do you think she will accept us? What if she starts to lose interest in us? What if… she sees us as a friend and not more than that? Even worse, she could–”

“Can you shut the fuck up for a while? You rambling, dude.” Leo grunts but laughs a little. “You too worried. Listen here, En.” His brother looks at him, “We will accept whatever her decision is. We wouldn’t force her into anything. Remember our promise to her foster father? To protect her not to hurt her.”

Leo’s statement makes him calm down a bit. What he said was right. They have to accept whatever she decides. As long as they can be by her side, that’s fine for them.

“You are right.” He smiles.

Suddenly, the door opened and reveals the doctor. He has this happy expression on his face. The twin looks at the doctor with confusion. “Mr. Hower. You might want to see Ms. Darliana.”

Hearing the name, Enzo abruptly stood up leaving Leo’s wad. He rushed towards the room. There’s nothing in his mind except to see them smile, to hear the voice, to feel the touch of Darliana. The doctor opens the door to let him in.

Once he gets in, there she is. Darliana. The girl he and his brother fell in love with. Hearing the door open, her head turns in that direction. Her emerald eyes met his. “Ennie!!!” She squealed brightly.

Enzo moves toward her and brings her into his arms. He snuggles his face on her hair and inhales her scent. He thought he wouldn’t feel this feeling again. “Oh gosh. You scared me, baby!!”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. I just had to–”

“No, it’s fine. You did well, my baby.” He pulls away, cupping her cheeks. “It’s all over now. Damien is gone. You got your life back. I’m proud of you, love.” A pair of lips press on her forehead.

“It over?” She asks.

“Yes. Your loved one must be proud of you. You such a strong girl.” Enzo grins.

“I’m so tired.” Liana leans her back on the headboard of her hospital bed. “But, I’m happy. Thank you to you and Lili.” She holding his hand. The guy frowns in confusion. It should be them to thank her for existing.

“Why?”

“Because… you guys give support. You make me feel not alone. When I fight with Damien, I start to lose hope. But, I remember my loved one. I remember our promise. I remember… I have family that waiting for me to open the door. And saying I’m back.” Tears slowly slid down her cheeks.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Enzo pressed his forehead with hers. “Believe me when I say… all of us think the same.”
