The Twin Brothers

Two married couples running with 3 years old daughter of them from a group of men suit. The loud shot-making everyone on the street screamed. The bullet hit his legs.

“Argh!!” He almost falled but manages to pull himself up.

“Honey–”

“Just run!!” He pushed his wife forwards.

The group of men who run after them are stuck in the crowd and running for their life. The wife hesitated to leave her husband behind but he keep pushing her forward.

“I’ll catch you later.” He breathlessly said.

She noded, holding her daughter tightly in her arms. “We–We run t–together!!” She yells, holding his arms with her free hand.

He looked behind and saw those men still struggling to find them. “We need a place to hide.” His eyes fell on his daughter.

They get in the alleyway. The man stops his wife. “… drop her here.” He whispers.

“W–What?” She frowned.

“We can’t bring her along, honey. She’s not safe with us.” He held her shoulder. For people who haven’t known him, they wouldn’t see the pain and sadness in his eyes.

“N-No!! We can’t leave her here!!” She held her daughter tightly. “She needs us, we need her. It’s dangerous to leave her here!!” Her tears dripped from her cheeks.

Her husband grabs her face, “It’s more dangerous if they got her! You want them got her!? He yells.

That’s when it hit her. She slowly looks at her daughter who sleeping soundly. She doesn’t deserve this, she deserves to be in the lovely world and not this cruel world.

“Love…” He caresses the wife’s cheeks, “I know this is tough. For her sake. I know someone… someone will take care of her and treat her like how she deserved.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The statements only make her cry. What he said was true. She slowly put her daughter in one box, “I’m sorry, sweetie. Me and your daddy sorry for not growing with you.” Tears dropped on the baby-soft cheeks.

“But we’re promised we will look after you from afar. Remember…” He and his wife smile. “… We always love you, Rosie. ”

_____________

The little boy riding his bicycle while chewing gum in his mouth. When he saw crowds in front, he decide to take the alleyway. As he was busy with his world, he heard a crying noise. More like a baby crying.

“Am I delusional or what?” He mumbles to himself. The crying noise becomes louder and louder causing the boy to pull the break. He got off his bicycle, and try to search for the sound.

It leads him to the box which closes with the coat. He lifted the coat and gasped when saw a baby wrapped in a soft blanket and a pacifier clip on it.

“A baby!?” He yells. The baby crying in hunger. He picks up the baby slowly. “Who put a baby here?”

The little boy didn’t have a choice but send the baby to one of the orphanages that he always visits since his mother works there and volunteers. He opens the door.

“Ivan? Who is this baby?” One of the sisters asks.

“I found it in the alley.” He answers.

The sister gasp. “Give me that baby. Call your mother.” She said as she bring the baby to the kitchen.

The little boy named Ivan called his mother. His mother followed her son to the kitchen and saw the sister holding one baby with a bottle in her hand.

“That’s the baby, mama!! When I found the baby, it keeps crying!!” Ivan pulls her mother’s sleeves.

“She’s hungry, Ivan.” The sister smiles.

“It was a girl?” Ivan’s mother asks. They nod. “Sweetie, where did you find this baby?” She asks her son.

“At the alley.” He grins.

She looks at him with shock. How can someone throw their baby at the alley!? She didn’t want to show sadness on her face instead, she took the baby from the nun’s arms.

“That was sad for her.” She sighs. “Does anything show her name, Ivan?”

Ivan pouted and thought. Then, he shakes his head. He took out the pacifier. “I just found this, mama!!” He chuckles.

“Good boy. We will bring this girl in.” The mother smiles.

“I’m going to have a little sister!!??” Ivan squealing brightly.

The mother nods with a smile. Ivan jumps up and down I am happy that he will get a new member of the family and a little sister. Since her mother can’t get pregnant again, he never thought about having another sibling.

“Mam, you going to adopt her?” One of the sisters asks.

“Yes. She is abandoned by her parents. She needs someone to be with her and took care of her.” She said, caressing the baby’s cheeks with a smile and tears sliding down her face.

“Mama!! What about her name!?” Ivan pulls his mother’s clothes.

“Hmm. I’m not sure.” She said.

“Can I suggest it!!” He grins.

His mother smiles and nods.

“Her name is going to be Darliana!!!”

Ivan’s mother looks at the baby. That name was pretty and unique, suit with her. “Darliana.. huh?”

“Welcome to our family, Darliana.”
