Will Cleopatra be my wife? I think Van can't believe it either. I swallowed and just spit out the food.
We were all at the same table with Cleopatra's family. We were quiet and only papa and Cleopatra's papa and mama were talking.-
"Van, have you told Von when their wedding is?" Everyone looked at Van except Cleopatra. Van just nodded.
"That's good," Papa said and they told the story of Cleopatra's dad. I even saw how Van looked at Cleopatra. I think my twin likes her.
"I'll just go to the comfort room," Cleopatra said coldly and didn't wait for what her parents would say. She left her seat.
"I'm just going to the balcony," I whispered to Van. He just nodded so I stood up and walked away from our table.
I followed Cleopatra and we reached the terrace of the house. She leaned there while looking somewhere.
"You don't want to get married either, right?" she turned to me. I approached her and stepped aside.
"I don't want to get married," I said bluntly as I remembered Lit.
"Same feels." She said so I laughed.
"I thought my dad agreed with another woman. It's a good thing you're close so I can't count." I said. she did not answer.
"What's your plan?" I asked. she looked at me.
"Do we need a plan?" she asked.
"Look, I don't want to get married because I'm waiting for something," I said.
"I also don't want to get married because I don't want you," she said directly so I laughed.
"I know," I said with a smile. "You want my twin right." she was stunned by my question.
"What are you going to say?" she refused. I just laughed.
"I know you like my twin Cleopatra," I said and looked at the sky.
"Because if not, I hope you don't agree to what Aphrodite wants," I added.
"How did you find out about what Aphrodite wanted?" she asked. I looked at her.
"She went home." I answered and took a deep breath "She went home to confess to me." I added while remembering that incident.
* "Aphrodite? What are you doing here?" I asked while looking at her. She just smiled.
"Aren't you with Van at the restaurant today? Aren't you having a date?" I asked one after another. She shook her head.
"Cleopatra is the one I'm going to. She made her face looks like mine." I stopped at what she said.
"Are you expecting my twin?" I asked.
"Look Von I'm here for you."*
"She admitted that she liked me, for a long time," I said.
* "What's for me?" I asked.
She held my hand so I could feel it.
"Von, I want you. I've wanted you for a long time." *
"But I don't like her Cleopatra. I want something else." I added.
"Does Van already know?" She asked. I shook.
"I don't want to tell my twin because I know he will get mad at me and our relationship could be ruined," I said. "I know Van, he likes Aphrodite very much. I don't want him to be mad at me just because of a woman." I said.
"I like Van." She said.
"And Van likes Aphrodite." She added. "But Aphrodite likes me," I replied. We both looked at each other and then laughed.
"The events in our lives are too complicated." She said.
"Von?" Cleopatra and I thought of calling me at the same time.
Aphrodite.
"Von ... Can we talk." There was sadness in her voice and I think she was already drinking.
I looked at Cleopatra, she just nodded so I supported Aphrodite to get away from Cleopatra's behavior.
Aphrodite hugged me and walked slowly.
"Where are we going to talk?" I asked.
"J-just behind your house." Although I was disgusted I took her to the back of the house as she said.
"What now?" I asked when we could get to the back of the house. I took a deep breath when I saw her crying again.
"Can Aphrodite ----"
"Why Cleopatra?" She asked so I fell silent. "Why is Cleopatra when I'm still here? I'm here, Von." She said and took my hand. I closed my eyes.
"Von ... Why don't you like me."
"Aphrodite, what’s wrong with you?" I said angrily.
"Just choose me, Von."
"You're drunk Aphrodite."
