Ch 53 :-

---— Linia's POV —---

As Mom was cleaning the table, I felt like it was more difficult to talk to Mom all of a sudden. With small steps we crept beside her as I slowly asked.

"Mom... uhmm... Can Lith love two of us ?" I spoke timidly as possible Luna was also little afraid

Hearing my question, Mom was pretty shocked before she giggled lightly.

"Fufu, you two are really close eh? Of course you can~" Mom said as she rubbed my head

"Uhm then... can Lith marry us then?" Luna asked as I prayed that Mom would just continue giggling before saying 'Yes, of course you two can mary him ' i was praying that whatever that cursed book said is wrong

"Marriage? Oh my~ You really like your brother, don't you?" Mom giggled as she found me cute

Hearing her giggle, I can feel my mood brighten until she continued-

"But no, Luna ,Linia ... Siblings can love each other but not in the romantic sense you're thinking" Mom said as she gently smiled at me completely oblivous that she just shattered her two daughter's hopes

"You two are still a young girls , for both of you to think of marriage. Do you want to leave your Mom that fast?" Mom giggled as she teased me

I almost felt mad at her. We were asking her because we loved her and we don't want to disappoint her, yet she's saying things like that.

"B-but why? W-what's the problem if we love Lith like that?" I asked

"Yes mom why can't Lith mary us " Luna asked as she stuttered

Confirming my fears, my heart felt so heavy as I felt like I didn't have any energy to even stand. I don't get it... Mom really would be disappointed if me and Lith loved each other like that. Remembering what we did with Lith the other night, I felt scared of Mom ever finding out about that. We unknowingly already crossed a line we shouldn't have. Iwas afraid what will mom do if she find out what we did with Lith

"You're still young, that's why you say things like that. Someday when the two of you grows up, you will find a man who will love you and become your husband." Mom said as she hugged me while rubbing my back

"And he will also find a wife, who he will love wholeheartedly and devote himself to"

"No Mom! we want him for our

self! I don't want some girl to just take him away from us " i said in a hurry

"What?" Mom was shocked by my voice

"I mean Mom what if... " I wanted to gauge Mom's actual reactions, to see just how against it could she actually be

"What if... let's say... uhmmm... we wanted to be... more than siblings with him..." Luna said as quietly as she could

"Luna , surely you mean like 'Best Friends', right?" Mom said in a cold tone

Cold sweat dripped from my back, as I heard Mom's tone change a little bit. But I had to see if I can perhaps coax Mom

"Uhm... I mean... like... like... Uhh..." my mind was a disordered mess, as I couldn't find the words to say without getting her angry

She then held us down by our shoulders, STRONGLY. I can't even move my body as I felt Mom's strength hold me down. Linia also seems she can't even move .Mom looked me in the eyes and Linia after that as I stared at back at her, her clear worry couldn't be more obvious.

"Luna,Linia ,Listen to mom okay?... Don't be nervous..."

"Just answer honestly... I won't get mad I promise..."

Mom said in a hushed voice as she tried to get me to relax, but it was doing the exact opposite to me because it made my chest feel heavier as my heart started palpitating in fear

"Do you... perhaps... look at your brother in 'that' way?" Mom said slowly as she looked us in the eyes

"Hiiiiii- NO! NO! Mom, I was just asking!" Luna said out of reflex i was also afraid for some reason i am getting feeling that she is mad

Mom was silent for a couple of seconds but the silence just made me all the more scared, I would've preferred if she just said something, anything at all

I felt like I wanted to cry, as I saw the clear alarm and worry in Mom's reaction. That was a tone you only speak with, if you really wanted to confirm something. Just from her words I already felt like I just committed a huge crime . And that was the only confirmation that I needed to see if Mom would ever allow it. I think we got our answer

I didn't even have the energy to ask 'Why can't we ?' her reaction already told me everything. She would NEVER agree to it.

"I think... you two should stop your little reading sessions with your brother" Mom finally spoke

"W-why?" I almost choked on my own words

"I thought Lith would be the one with that problem... but I never would've thought..." Mom sighed as she looked at me

There were so many things I wanted to say. Not everyone will find a loving husband, not every man out there is good. I wanted to say that, can't we just take Lith then? He would surely love and cherish us . I wanted to say that, isn't it because her husband didn't love her, that she's alone right now?

And what does she meant that Lith would be the one asking this does this mean she know how Lith feel about us we have to make sure that lith dont tell mom about what we did other night

I will became so strong that no one can question us why we do Love making with our brother

After some time -

We told Lith that book has bad ending and he will not like it so we told him not to read it further more

After that we both kissed Lith and fell sleep Lith slept between both of us as always .

" No can take our brother from us "

"Yes Lith only belongs to us "

And we fell sleep
