Chapter 19
Heartache

Van POV
I look at the wine I'm holding,Where are they now? Did Von follow Cleopatra? Wait why am I asking? Then what do I care about them? I was shaken and sat up. Cleopatra's brother and I had the right vision. I just raised an eyebrow as he turned to look at me. He pointed to my cheek where he punched me. I just looked at him. It was as if he was being teased.
"I don't know why you're punching all of a sudden." I told him. He blinked then lowered his drink.
"I don't know why you're stupid." I glared at him. He just smiled at me. I'm sure i can't really get along with Cleopatra's brother. It's only now that I'm annoyed with him.
"I just got my sister's back." He said so I lost the wrinkle on my forehead.
"Did you leave her alone in the restaurant? I saw her walking on the road while it was raining carrying the things you gave to her." He shook his head. I fell silent.
"Is it the job of a gentleman to leave a woman?" He asked while looking at me. I did not answer. That I am especially guilty of what he said. She bathed in the rain?
"I forgot to say that, she also lost consciousness. Fortunately, I was able to go that way and see her." He said and took a deep breath.
"I don't really know what the reason is and she liked you." I stared at what he said. He can now look at his food. He looked at me again then looked evil.
"She's the victim, she's the one who apologized." I frowned at what he said.
"What do you mean?" I asked. He looked at me with a grin on his lips and acted ignorant. Suddenly I remembered the child in court, I heard Cleopatra's voice when she said sorry. It could be Cleopatra. She can change form and art like a creature. I clenched my fist at the conscience I was feeling. I really being rude to Cleopatra, I stood up and said excuse to Fin.
I will look for Cleopatra so I can apologize to her. I would have turned around when I saw Von and Aphrodite. Von supports Aphrodite and they leave the house. I frowned and followed them secretly. We were in the back of the house. I was a few meters away from them. I activated my loud hearing to know what they were talking about.
"Von ... Why don't you like me." I frowned at Aphrodite's question. "Von, choose me please. Choose me and not Cleopatra."
"You're drunk Aphrodite."
"Von I love you so much." I was stunned by what Aphrodite said. I kept my eyes on the two of them. Von, the man Aphrodite wants? My twin?
"Von, let's just~~~" I was surprised when he hugged Von. I am already hurt by what I have seen and heared.
Aphrodite wants my twin. Is that why she doesn't like me because of Von?
"Aphrodite stop"
"Von please." My eyes widened as I saw how Aphrodite grabbed Von with a kiss. My tears immediately condensed. I was just looking at the two of them when someone covering my eyes. I even felt her take a deep breath then she slowly turned me around.
"Its wrong to follow them." I cried when I heard Cleopatra's voice. Her hand remained covering my eyes. It flashbacks to me how Aphrodite kissed Von.
"Just close your eyes." Cleopatra said and slowly removed her hand that was covering my eyes. I also felt that she wiped the tears from my eyes and then she held my hand. I remember what Aphrodite told me earlier.
"Don't you want to be with me?" I asked. She was stunned. I could see the sadness in her eyes.
"That's not what you think Van. I reserved that day to go to the man I want."
She reserved that day to go to the man she wanted. I remember Von calling me to say that Aphrodite was at home. If so, Von is really what she wants.
Why ... Why Von? If only I could? She doesn't like me because she likes my twin. She doesn't like me because she loves my twin more than I do, she likes me as a Friend. Damn.
"Happy birthday." I heard Cleopatra say. I slowly opened my eyes. Right when I open my eye, colorful fireworks exploded in the sky. There I looked. I’m sure Cleopatra did it because I don’t rarely see fireworks. I smiled in my mind.
Nice. This is the first time someone has done this to me. This is the first time I have seen such beautiful fireworks.
"This is supposed to be my happiest and most painful birthday of all." I said and looked at her. I pulled her closer to me and hugged her. I'm happy, because i already saw Cleopatra. Mmost painful because .... I found out Von is what Aphrodite wants.
I cried on Cleopatra's shoulder as I hugged her. I always cried with her, she always encouraged me. I let go of the hug. I looked at her. She looked at me and took a deep breath then wiped away my tears.
"I'm sorry for you." She said as she wiped away my tears.
"Aren't you angry because you saw the man you're going to marry kissing?" I asked. She shook her head.
"We both don't want to marry each other." She said and looked away.
"I hope you don't get mad at your twin just because of what you saw." She said and looked at me. I did not answer.
"All right. Let go of all your anger. I'm just here." With that. Suddenly my tears flowed. I immediately disguised myself as a werewolf and ran to the very end of our rooftop then howled loud and long. I just stopped when someone trimmed me with a werewolf with black and green eyes. It's Von. He looked at me. He also howled loudly and long then looked back at me.
I went back to my old form. I just looked at Von who was still a werewolf. I turned my gaze to Cleopatra as we turned to the side while looking at us.
"I'm leaving." When she said that, she disappeared. I turned my gaze back to Von. He looks human again. Slowly he stood up and looked at me.
"Van ~~" I gave him a loud punch before he even finished what he was going to say. He was sitting on the floor holding the cheek I punched. How Aphrodite kissed him came back to me.
I laughed in my mind. Damn. Nothing hurts more than what I saw.
