Kapitel 13: The Twist (2)

Aaron couldn't believe what he just heard.

- What kind of joke is that, Tarou?

At that moment, Anna became very surprised.

- What did you just say his name? Tarou? My Tarou?

Anna's reaction made Aaron more confused, he looked at Tarou hoping to understand what was going on:

- But mother is dead, she died while giving birth to me, right?

Anna's tears started falling when she realized that those two young men were her two sons. They show up when she lost any hope to see them again:

- Oh, and you! you are my baby Aaron. I can't believe how much you grow up.

Anna's expressions were overwhelmed with joy. She stepped forward, but Tarou stepped back. Aaron was still waiting for his brother's answer who kept glaring without saying a word:

- Our Mother is dead, right?

-.....

- ANSWER ME, TAROU.

- No, she is not.

That answer made Aaron dizzy for a moment. All that he had believed his whole life was a lie? What is the truth then?

Aaron looked at his mother again.

" That's my mother? "

She was the spitting image of Tarou. Blond hair with blue eyes. Despite being a little old, she is so beautiful.

Aaron didn't know what to do, thousands of questions were popping into his head. He didn't have any information about his mother except that she was a human. His brother and father tried to erase anything that was related to her. They have been living like she didn't exist in the first place.

He looked at his very angry brother waiting for any reaction.

Tarou didn't take his eyes off her. He just kept glaring without a word.

" She is the same as 17 years ago, nothing much changed except for some wrinkles that appeared on her face. How can she be so shameful? She should have disappeared forever."

Tarou took his brother's hand and headed to the door:

-Let's go, Aaron, she has nothing to do with us.

Aaron pulled his hand.

- WAIT! I CAN'T SIMPLY WALK AWAY! I WANT ANSWERS. WHY EVERYONE LIED TO ME? I WAS EVEN BLAMING MYSELF FOR KILLING HER.

- She chose to abandon us, me, you, and father. No one mattered to her. She has no rights now to see us or talk with us

- NO! THAT'S NOT TRUE.

Screamed Anna while crying so heard.

I did never choose to leave you, how could I? Please listen to me Tarou, just this once, then you can do what you want.

Sarra stepped forward hoping to convince him:

- What you know when you were a young boy, and what did actually happen is very different, if you are leaving now, you will regret it forever. Please just listen to her.

- So, this was your plan.

- I'm sorry that I didn't tell you the truth. I know that you won't accept to come with me if I told you that your mother wants to see you.

Aaron sat on the sofa again. His mother's tears touched him:

- I'm ready to listen:

Tarou didn't find a choice but to join his brother:

- Fine, I will do it, for Aaron's sake. After that, if I decided to leave, don't dare hold on to me.

Anna was barely holding herself from hugging her sons, but they needed an explanation first.

She wiped her tears and tried to calm down:

-Do you think that I wanted to leave you on my own? Believe me, I didn't have any choice.

- But you chose to give up on your power. Father did have no choice but to banish you. You didn't think of us, you just thought about yourself. Your selfishness destroyed our family. Aaron was too young to remember, but I was 10 years old. I remember how father begged you to not do it. That was my first time seeing him kneeling to someone, but you turned your back to him. What else do you have to say?
