Chapter 12

Kyles POV ..

I was walking up the stairs when I heard a car honking outside

And I know it's Gwen

I went down the stairs and walked to the living room and saw our pictures on display area on the divider so I took them.

"It's been almost 1 year and 1 month since Charles died," I said

I felt that she was walking towards me

"Remember when we were kids, you were closer to Charles than to me?" I said at the same time with a little smile " That's why I scolded you more and told Charles that you're already there if you want to play with me?"

"Yeah I remember" she answered

I walked to the sofa while still carrying the picture frame of the three of us

And I sat on the sofa

Gwen also stood beside me

"Maybe if Charles was still here he wouldn't be happy" I said while staring at the picture frame

"Why??"

"Couz you change a lot"

"All people change brother"

"That's not what I mean" I said facing her "Your anger has eaten you" I added

"But this is the only way for us to avenge our brother's death" she answered

Since Charles disappeared from us and Ian left her, she became like this

I need to tell you the truth

I held her hand

"Charles already knows the truth gwen"

"What do you mean brother?" She asked

"I have known for a long time that Crista is our sister," I answered her

I saw that ahe was very surprised by what I said

" How long did he know?? And why didn't he tell us? " She said " " Why did he not tell us brother! " She asked irritable

"Because he knows that you will be angry when you find out that we have a half sister on our father's side," I answered

"And you know that too?" She asked

I just nodded in response

"Great!! You didn't even intend to tell me that you already know that we have a half sister on our father's side? You made me look like a fool!" She said angrily "And he even agreed to have a relationship with that girl who knows everything" she said

She stand up but I grab her left hand to stop her

"Because that's the only way for him to save Crista. Look Gwen, Charles love crista like he loves you" I answered

I saw that she was stunned by what I said

"I know there are many sins that Crista did to you, like she stole Ian from you, but don't push yourself to someone who doesn't like you" I gave her the picture frame "Imagine the world is spinning and then you where are you?? You're still there for the past. Move on Gwen and accept the fact that Ian doesn't love you, he loves Crista" I added.

"But brother, how?How can I forgive them??"

"Remember. God can forgive us all so us humans can forgive too"

And I stood up from sitting on the sofa

"And Gwen"

She looked up at me

"Forgiveness is not easy when you're still hurting," I said

I never thought that what she said to me, I would also say to my sister

"So remember, it's not because you were hurt, you'll be hurt again when you love, don't be afraid to love again, Gwen," I said with a smile, "But I just want you to know that first treat the pain you feel, don't fall in love until the pain is still there because once you enter relationship it's still there. What they do to you before you can do it too to the person who's willing to love you. And once you already heal give chance the person who really loves you" I said turning my back and walking away

I hope you can be honest with them Gwen

As I forgive them

Mae's POV

The next day...

2 weeks after..

I'm here now inside the president's office these past few days because it's getting busy

I typed a monthly report on my laptop

" Ms. "

I was taken aback by the caller

That..

The ..

The ex boyfriend of Ms Gwen Austen

"Yes, what do you need?"

"I need to talk to Gwen"

"Sorry Ms. Austen can't be here today"

"But what I'm going to tell her is important, just tell her that Ian Villaverde is looking for her"

"Wait I'll tell Ms. Austen about it" I said as we sat down on the chair and opened the door where Ms. Austen was.

"Sorry Ms. Austen if I'm bothering you but Mr. Villaverde insists on talking to you"

She was sitting on the swivel chair while she was talking to Ms. Maxine her best friend

"It's ok, let him in," answered Ms. Austen

" Ok Ms. Austen " I said as I closed the door

"Come in," I said to Mr. Villaverde

He walked into the office

After a few minutes I finished what I was doing so I stood up from the chair and was about to go to the office

" Ms. Maxine is Ms. Austen?? "

"Didn't you see that she and Ian left? It's because Gwen's daddy was in the hospital a while ago"

In the hospital??

What can be done there??

"Is that so??"

"Yes, it's up to you to close the office because I still have a walk" she said as she walked out of the office

I walked back to my table and closed my laptop

And I heard the door open but I didn't look

But I saw someone put a paper bag on the table so I turned to him

It's Kyle

" Ms. Gwen is gone, she left " I said putting the laptop in my bag

"You're already using the laptop," he said

I looked at him in wonder

"I told mommy to give you a laptop"

He?? He was the one who told Ms. President give me a laptop??

"Tha..thank you" I said shyly

"Couz I know that you can't afford to buy a laptop"

It's terrible haha

"I'm ashamed of your wealth, don't worry, I'll pay for the laptop"

He sat in the visitors chair on the left

"You don't need to do that I don't make you pay" he said "by the way here" together with his sister he gave me the paper bag

"What is it??" I asked

"Umm paper bag??"

Philosopher

"Open it"

I opened it

I saw a plastic container carbonara inside

I looked at him

"Why did you give it to me??"

"Thank you gift actually I can't think of anything to give you so that's it"

I opened it and smelled it

"I won't give you greasy food"

"Just making sure. Besides, thank you for this," I said while putting it back in the paper bag

He smiled

Wait

He smiled??

My cousin Eros said that nothing makes him smile

Kyle Edward Austen

Sit in the right visitors chair

"Amm my I ask why did you give me a thank you girft?? " I suddenly asked him

"For taking me home when I was drunk. In addition to your note that I need to forgive. It's a bit difficult, but if my twin brother was here, I know he would want to forgive too. So I did. And after that I was told I also feel for Gwen that she also needs to forgive because she was hurt too much not because she lost Charles as well as Ian"

A Kyle Edward Austen

Known for being cold hearted and grumpy

But I'm wrong

Because you're kind

You're also kind person Kyle
