Chapter 124: Chapter 124

Author's POV

"After reading that, I came to know my brother always loved you, Angela. I was a foolish brother who can't even guess that. And you know it makes me feel too sad at that moment. Because we are twins but both are completely different in normal aspects but when it came to love we both turned out to be the same person. This reality hits me. We both were scared to lose the person we like but that fear made our life a mess. If we both got the courage to tell our true feelings and never relied on the future. Things never turned out to be like this…"

Erish words made Angela ask her another question to him," So, did you feel guilty for your brother that's why you decided to go for some other woman to let me have a string with him?"

Erish immediately denied that fact.

"No! It's never like that…" While stopping for a moment he continued.

"Yes, I feel bad for him, but his love is one-sided, you are his crush and love. But I knew you never saw him as a lover. So, there is no point in doing something like this. Making sacrifices is not going to do any better. And that will be unjustified to you Angela…"

Angela's eyes rimmed red. She doesn't know how her life turns up and down in just a few days.

"For my lover, I am truly generously in love with her. Yes, I was distributed to know this truth and that's why I got attached to her as I couldn't tell you about this and turned your situation awkward with Eric. And I need to talk to someone, open up myself. However, I don't know when I truly fall for her. And trust me, Angela, what I felt with her never happens to me while staying with you. All I was feeling was the family love, friends' love, sisterly love for you. This was always like that, but the truth was relieved only when she entered my life…"

Angela silently hears him as she gets her answer.

Erish looked at her with a small smile at last and said," But Angela, I think, this is what God wanted to do…this is his decision and plan to bring you and Eric together. I never made for you because the one who loved you with his whole heart, even more than his life, is Eric…"

Her heart thumped to hear his words as she felt she couldn't handle more words from him.

She went backward and touched the windowsill with her trembling hand as she responded with a heavy tone," But he lied, Erish…He hides a big thing from me, his identity…"

Her tears moved from her cheeks to her lips and fell to the ground. Her heart ached to remember no matter even if she loved him. She can't forget that thing. Her heart needs time. She's a self-respected woman and can't accept letting herself be used like that.

"Yes, he lied but for us! Angela!" Mrs.Brooks enters the ward.

Angela and Erish looked at her side.

"Aunt… it does not matter! The final decision is his own…" Angela commented with a raised voice.

"No Dear! He all did it for our pressure!" Mr.Brooks comes from behind.

Angela frowned.

While both of them continued with their words.

"He never wanted to marry you like this Angela. He knows that you will hate him which he didn't want in his worst nightmare also but for his old parent's soft tears made him push himself to do that even though he never wanted it in the first place. He's ready to accept your hate for him even when all he did, accept his parent's decision…"

Hearing Mr.Brooks Angela's eyelashes flickered with moisture.

"He always wanted to tell you everything honey! But for our sake, he hid it! Our both sons suffered so much because of us and our decisions…" Mrs.Brooks added while her sobs turned loud.

Angela's heart tightened to hear them.

"We promise him that we will tell you everything after Erish wakes up. But we never thought that the truth would come in front of you in this manner…"

Angela's eyes felt stunned to know the truth.

"Angela, I saw my son crying every time on my lap that he loved you so much but didn't have a right to let you know…as a mother it breaks my heart every time to see him broken and hurt…"

"He never deserves that!" She shook her head as her hands went to her mouth to press it to control herself to cry loudly.

"So, did I deserve what you all chose for me?" Angela questioned them. As she understood Eric's point but it doesn't make their fault hide.

"Yes, we know, we made sin to hide the truth from you. But for Eric, please don't hate him, Angela…"

"Even though I don't hate him, he emotionally broke me." Angela's eyes filled with hopelessness. While she said those words. Because now she's in love with the person who's fabricated the truth from her.

"Angela, Eric loved you for a long time without any desire and if you feel showing his love for you is a sin then let me tell you, he crosses the boundaries only after knowing the real truth from you." Mrs. Brooks' eyes turned serious.

Angela's brows arched with confusion," Real truth?"

"Yes, Real truth. Do you remember the day you told him about the pond incident which happened to you at the school picnic?"

Hearing her, Angela remembers the night when she confirmed to Eric about her feelings when it truly started changing for him.

Thinking that Angela responded, "Y-Yes…"

"Angela, the person who saved you that day was Eric. You made the mistake of thinking that he was Erish…"

Angela felt shocked as she didn't understand what she was saying.

"I can't understand what you are saying, Aunt?" She raised a question. As she felt her body trembling with shock at this moment.

Her hands pressed on her mouth as she felt someone push her into the abyss.

"Wh…What…?"

She blinked her eyes as she couldn't believe what she just heard.

But before Mrs. Brooks explained anything, Erish replied to her.

"Angela, mom is telling the truth. Eric is the one who saves you that day!" Erish words made Angela stare at him.
