"I know that you're back as the real you, Arrow. But you promised you wouldn't get your hands dirty, didn't you?" Miyuki said worriedly as she looked at me.
I handed him the dress before sitting down next to him.
"What do you want me to do, Miyuki? Stare at my parents as they have fun here in the world? They killed my twin," I replied.
She nodded her head. "I understand you, Arrow, I clearly understand you. But you know you can't kill them. If you can't kill them, then you better ask them, right?"
I was silenced by what he said. Ask them? That's impossible.
"WHAT brings you here?" he asked when he saw me enter.
"Stop asking me, Canapia, you know why I'm here," I coldly promised.
He did not utter what I said. She just sat down on her sofa, she also motioned me to sit in front of her.
I reluctantly sat in front of him and looked at him badly.
She let out a soft chuckle. "I think I get it now. You're here to kill me?"
I blinked before shaking. "How I wish I could do that, Canapia, but I promised my twin that I wouldn't do that again."
"Then what brings you here?"
"I want to ask you, Canapia. Why did you do that?" my voice was cold.
He lowered the cup he was holding and grinned at me. "Who wouldn't do something that's best for herself?"
"What?" wrinkled when I asked.
"I need to do that, Arrow, I have to. Because if I don't do that, I will remain poor. Those eyes, those golden eyes will make me rich. Higher than anyone," he replied.
"Those golden eyes, that you thought, my twin possesses?" dugtong ko.
He smiled bitterly. "I have to reach where I want to reach, Arrow, I have to lift. And I can only lift with the help of those eyes."
I wiped my own face.
"But I have those eyes, Canapia, I'm Ayenna. I'm the person you want to eat to get my eyes, that's me," I said emphatically.
"I know," she answered back.
"Since when?"
"When you burst out yesterday. I just found out that you are the real Ayenna," she replied.
I closed my eyes tightly.
"H-How?"
"Your eyes shone differently when your anger came out to the two of us and your daddy. And they told me, that those eyes only come out when the person who owns it is very hurt. And I saw it. So I found out. I love you Ayenna. " I violently wiped the tears from my cheeks.
"That's why you let those ass holes rape my sister? For that stupid reason, Canapia ?! You don't matter!" I shouted angrily.
"I know."
"What?"
"I know I don't matter. Of all the things I've done to your siblings. I don't matter, Ayenna, I'm a worthless person. But did you ever bother asking Mesaion how worthless he is?" she said with her forlorn eyes.
Something pushed me to just listen to him.
Her eyes are telling me to listen and stay quiet. So I did.
"Mesaion is the real piece of shit in this family, Ayenna, believe me. She's the one who destroys the things you're fighting for. I'm just part of the plan but I'll never be taller than her," she said.
"Why? I thought you guys are--"
"I was once a simple girl, living in a province, Ayenna. M-I live well with my family, even if we are not rich, we are happy. I just had to work when my father was attacked. We don't know what to do. Sinco how can we get money. He was able to find a job in Manila so he left our province. And I, I am the only one left in our province with my father and mother. " She took a deep breathe before smiling bitterly.
"I wish I was fine, Ayenna, until Mesaion came into my life. He exploited me with his animal friends. I was like a ball being passed around by those animals. All I ever w- But Mesaion didn't let me complain and fight. He even paid for my father's needs for the hospital and the medicines, just so that I could look at him with gratitude. My mother married me to that beast man. And your daddy agreed to marry me because he needed a future empress, he needed to have princesses in the palace who would fulfill his wishes. He used me just for that. let him be powerful, and that's the thing that motivated me to act behind him. It's a big mistake for you twins to come out of my womb. Because I know he's just going to touch you with all his greed. But when I found out that one of you can k in order to get rich, I conspired with him. " He wiped the tears from his eyes and smiled bitterly at me.
She held my hands and gently squeeze it. "I'm sorry if I became selfish and greedy, but I had to be selfish li, Ayenna. I really want revenge against your father, I really want to be superior to him. It was as if he was bowing to me, I was the one to follow the two of us. That way I can escape. Everyone will believe me, they will listen to my story, I don't have to be afraid to complain, because I am strong. I don't need to hide behind him. Do you get me? G-I just wanted all that wealth, because that's the only way, Ayenna, for me to escape from a family I didn't want, "she cried as she clung to my hand tightly.
I did not answer him.
"Then why didn't you continue it? Your plans? You knew it was me, but why didn't you try again?" I will ask.
She shook her head. "Because I chose to listen, Ayenna. I chose to listen to her. And I found out the best solution, to stop this pain inside me,"
"W-What is it?" I promised to cry.
He pulled the gun to the side and aimed it at his own senses. I gasped because of what she did.
"N-No, Canapia, this is not the right solution for everything. I tried doing that. And nothing good--"
"This is my decision, Ayenna, my own choice. So you can't stop me," he said with a smile.
He pushed me out the door even though I tried to stop him.
Before he closed the door he released a line first.
"Please listen to him, first, Ayenna. Listen to him first, because that's what I did."
She slammed the door infront of me. And the last I heard was a loud gunshot.
