Twins And Falling In Love
87. Slap

“KAU KILL HIM!!” Michel's mother roared in despair. “HE'S MY ONLY SON AND YOU KILLED HIM.” Slowly the tone of Michel's mother's cry weakened, the woman began to beat Olivia's back with her hand that was not holding the bottle.

Olivia accepted punch after punch with resignation, as she knew all the pain in her body was not currently comparable to the heat of lead penetrating Michel's body on that fateful night.

“Ma, I don't even dare to apologize to you.” Olivia stammered between her cries. “I don't deserve to do that, I don't deserve forgiveness from you. It's all my fault and I live with that horrible shadow every night”.

Michel's mother's body squeezed, finally she heard the words she wanted to hear from Olivia, for years she had not managed to meet Olivia, because the girl had disappeared like smoke.

“The sense of loss I feel must not be comparable to what you feel, but I want you to know that I thank him, and in his last moment he asked me to stay alive. I'm sorry, because right now I'm just trying to carry out his last request.” Olivia's cry was getting louder.

The two women were now both crying to relieve the pain they felt in each other's hearts. Of course Michel's mother understood that none of this was Olivia's fault, but her need to find a scapegoat, her desire to blame someone for this painful tragedy had led her to Olivia's house tonight. Like Olivia blames Brian, like that, Michel's mother is looking for a scapegoat for everything.

Slowly Olivia touches the hand of Michel's mother still clutching the glass bottle, she releases the middle-aged woman's fingers and immediately secures the impromptu weapon she had used to harm the EL just now. Just one man who must be covered in blood for her, Olivia will never be able to forgive herself if something bad happens to EL because of her actions.

...🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁...

EL groaned in pain as Olivia rubbed an alcohol-soaked cotton swab on her still-wet wound. Not a word has come out of her mouth since Michel's mother came home. Olivia simply threw the sandal at the EL to protect her feet from the entire sharding scattered on the floor, and she immediately pulled the man into her kitchen, the place where Olivia is now doing first aid on a sizable EL wound.

The man himself was still confused by the series of events that had happened in front of him. He had almost called the police earlier in case Olivia's guests had insisted on hitting the woman he loved. The man was confused why only now the middle-aged woman came, the death of Olivia's fiancee occurred 2 years ago, but why did Michel's mother come only now to beat Olivia.

“Kakak?”

“Shh.” Olivia kept her eyes focused on the EL wound. He wrapped the gauze several times over his wound.

“Kakak—”

The words of the EL were instantly countered with a tight slap on his face.

The man grimaced slightly due to the hot sensation that struck his cheek without warning, he looked at Olivia with a look of disbelief. What did she do until Olivia felt she deserved to be slapped?

“DO NOT AGAIN YOU DARE TO DO THAT DANIEL!” Tears came back down from her mouth. “Do not do that, never try to protect me from anything, never sacrifice yourself to take care of me.” The woman sobbed while hitting the uninjured EL hand.

“I can't stay silent to see what happened, sister. The woman pointed the bottle at your head! It's a good thing that your door wasn't closed, so I could go straight in. Only God knows what happens if I am one second late.” EL swept her thumb across Olivia's face to wipe away her tears.

“If that is what must happen, let it be! If I really have to get hurt, if I have to die from it you have to let it go!” Olivia's tone was rising.

“And I should watch it? Seeing yourself in pain? Are you still war—”

“I deserve it, EL!” Cut Olivia. “Even if that woman wants to kill me, I deserve it. There is only one person in this world who has the right to take my life—and she is the woman you met just now.” Olivia's body began to shake, she was trying hard to remain standing upright in front of the EL. “Don't ever try to save me again, I'm not worth it.”

The man placed both hands on Olivia's shoulders, trying to calm her woman's fear.

Highlight the softened EL eyes, again this woman showed a fragile side of herself. “So, even if time repeats itself I will do the same, no matter how many times you slap me, hit me, I don't care, sister is the woman I love” el pulled Olivia to get close to her body. “I don't know how you look at yourself. But to me, you're worth my whole life—you worth my life.”

Olivia's heart seemed to fall from her sockets. What EL said sounded very beautiful in her ears, but it frightened her. He could not if there had to be another man who died horribly for protecting him.

“EL, please don't say that. I can't.”

“Kak this is all not one brother”

Olivia shook her head, the woman looked very fragile at the moment, whereas a few days ago she was able to live normally without the disturbance of nightmares after the last offering she gave Michel, but when Michel's mother came, all that guilt re-emerged. Like a movie, the memories re-entered his head, painful memories that left Michel dead.

“I... I killed him.” Olivia bit her lips to channel the pain in her heart. “Du-two.. years ago, I.... killed her...” Olivia said each word in stammering. “Michel... I killed Michel” With one breath, Olivia finished her sentence. “He died in front of me”

Along with her statement, Olivia immediately felt her entire defense collapse. The last two years have been spent making his life meaningful so that Michel's death is not in vain. Olivia has tried various ways to maintain her sanity, she stayed up last night to avoid the bad shadow that haunts her dreams she has immersed herself in her work to shift the focus away from the sense of loss, he even tried to find a little bit of the beauty of life from his daily life in order to avoid himself from depression, all that happened before the arrival of EL, and now he was too tired to lie. Olivia never declared Michel's death to anyone, including her. Because he knew, the second he declared it, Michel's death really came true. The woman has spent 2 years of her life pretending that her relationship with Michel is a bit of a problem, only the arrival of the EL slowly begins to resuscitate the woman that Michel is gone.

EL decides to become the man Olivia needs. He pulls Olivia's body closer to his body, his two sturdy arms encircling Olivia's still shaking body and he immediately holds Olivia tightly. The woman wept, spilling all her pain on the shoulders of EL. Olivia almost roared as she continued to immerse her face into the curve of the neck of the man who patiently held her.

“I'm here, brother. You can cry as much. I'm not going anywhere.” The EL whisper slowly.

The woman slowly raised both her arms to be looped around the waist of the EL, Olivia hugged the EL tightly as she continued her cries. Tonight, in a conscious state, Olivia really allowed EL to see her fragility, to accompany her. He let the man be his back, and in his heart he was grateful that this man still remained by his side.
