"Axe, can I ask you something?" I asked hesitantly as Axe and I walked side by side towards Edward's ward. After breakfast, we had agreed to visit him together. And regarding my question just now, of course the topic was still about Mr. Hero. I wanted to confirm whether or not my assumption was correct-that Axe was the one who made the police smell the carcass of Mr. Hero's work."Ask what?""About Mr. Hero.""Why are you suddenly asking me about him?" Axe looked quickly at me with a probing look in his eyes. I'm sure he's starting to think of something no - no, the expression on his face clearly says he doesn't like hearing my questions."Just this morning I was watching the news on television about Mr. Hero's recently uncovered crime case. Were you involved in investigating the information?" I anxiously watched Axe who seemed to be deep in thought, before he finally smiled triumphantly at me."Of course. If not me, who else?" Axe raised both eyebrows with

"Lie down, Axe," I said, patting my thigh lightly. I sighed resignedly as Axe continued to walk back and forth in place while occasionally looking at Edward who was still faithfully closing his eyes. Even though the doctor had told him that Edward would most likely wake up later in the afternoon, there were still a few more hours for him to be patient. But Axe didn't seem to care what the doctor said, even he ignored my persuasion.He was still so focused on Edward, although every now and then I heard him exhale harshly. I wanted to persuade Axe again, but seeing him in a frenzy, I abandoned my intention and got up from the sofa I was sitting on.My hand moves to pat Axe's shoulder lightly and I smile as he gives me his attention. At this moment I wanted to excuse myself to go to the cafeteria, my throat felt dry especially when I heard Axe's explanation about Mr. Hero during the trip to Edward's hospital room."I'm going to get a drink. Can I get you anything?"My question succeeded

"I've been open enough letting you know my sad past, is that still not enough?"I nodded quickly in response, of course I wanted to know the mysteries that were still hidden within Axe, when he didn't offer to open up. I should have done that a long time ago, instead of getting caught up in uncertain feelings to the point of forgetting my main goal."I'm so sorry, Bridgette. I can't keep telling you about my bitter life back then, it'll make me feel even worse." This time Axe spoke with his head bowed deeply, as if he didn't want me to see his face. He succeeded in making me feel guilty as well as hurt by his sudden fear."Axe."I warily lifted the downcast face until my bitter smile broke out as I stared at Axe's unreadable look.I blinked quickly to neutralize my emotions that had been stirred up by seeing him like this. It was wrong of me to force him to be an open person when that was the hardest thing for Axe to do."It's okay, Axe, I'm sorry. Don't
Brother Luck(not) Unexpected Fact
"Are you f*cking kidding me? What the hell is this?" Axe asked, staring in disbelief at what was written on the paper in his hand.I also can't lie that the fact that we just received hit the reality that we had always believed. Was it true that Axe and Mr. O'Connor's names and the bolded 'positive' result were part of our new journey?Yes, the test results revealed a DNA match between Axe and Mr. O'Connor. However, what I don't understand is why Mr. O'Connor would suddenly do such a thing without informing the person involved, Axe. I mean, since when did he plan this covert activity? Was the sample of Axe's blood that he asked Doctor Arnold for back then, as I recall, the most appropriate conclusion I could draw right now?"I don't want to beat around the bush. What you've seen on the paper is true, you're my son. The son I thought was gone when I was first born."Mr. O'Connor paused his sentence for a moment to watch the reaction of Axe, who I'm sure was trying to hold back from an
Brother Luck(not) The Result
All day we waited anxiously for the DNA test results. Even though Axe and I had left, Mr. O'Connor still came back to us to take a blood sample. And this was the end, the results of the laboratory testing came out after 1 x 24 hours. Axe had insisted that the hospital speed up the DNA process immediately, so that he wouldn't have to wait so long. The man was really impatient to prove the truth of Mr. O'Connor's words who was currently looking smiling after reading the results."I told you, you're my son. Still don't believe me?"Mr. O'Connor thrust the paper he had opened at Axe until the man took it quickly. Axe's expression was unreadable as he looked intently at the writing on the paper, which I'm sure he still couldn't quite wrap his head around."Open the envelope, Bridgette," Axe commanded after realizing my preoccupation with the envelope that still perfectly encased the contents inside.I took a breath and let it out roughly. My hand moved to tear the corner to the right-left
Brother Luck(not) The Result2
I sighed heavily waiting for Axe not to speak since the end of our meeting with Mr. O'Connor in front of the lab. My father-in-law, now that I could call him that, had a sudden emergency call, though I was sure he still wasn't willing to leave Axe after making the man look like a lifeless statue."Speak up Axe. I won't understand your needs, if you keep quiet like this."I slowly ran my hand through his brown hair that was beginning to grow long and prickly. We were currently sitting in front of Edward's waiting room. Axe didn't move once he found a comfortable chair, even though I repeatedly invited him to enter Edward's hospital room. Perhaps Axe didn't want to add to the burden on Edward's mind, who had regained consciousness yesterday afternoon, although he was required to rest."Don't keep this up, Axe. Aren't you happy to know I'm not your sister?"I said that on purpose, even though it wasn't what made Axe's mind wander. But it was clear that my words had
Brother Luck(not) Bitter Sweet
Some people said, to make life colorful. It takes two elements, laughter and sorrow to complement the joy and pain. But for me, there is one element that is missing, love. Indeed, there is no perfect being in this world who still feels alive, even though the wound is offering itself at the forefront of a cause. However, for now, in Axe's life. Can they stand at the very back? I wanted that man, my husband, to be able to smile for just a moment since the unexpected truth was revealed. Moreover, yesterday, just making Axe promise, did not guarantee that he was ready to forget the reality to stop hurting temporarily. Throughout the day, Axe still daydreamed so much that he ignored me who kept talking to him, and at night, unlike usual-Axe didn't do his ritual at all, instead choosing to go straight to bed. Although I must admit that his hand was not left behind to continue hugging me.Still, I felt lacking. Axe I knew wasn't like this, so weak-no zest for life. Plus right

"Sure," I replied as quietly as possible for fear of waking Axe."We need space. I need a one-on-one talk with you," he continued to which I only responded with a hesitant shake.Axe had just fallen asleep and I didn't want to wake him up at all. The poor guy was exhausted, I was afraid the slightest movement would wake him up."Just here, Dad." Yesterday in Axe's presence, Mr. O'Connor had asked me to call him by that title, there was no way I could refuse-he was also my father now."Axe could wake up if I move," I continued carefully. Incidentally, Mr. O'Connor had also told me to stop being so formal with him by not speaking too reluctantly."This is important. Xelle must not know what I'm going to say." Mr. O'Connor gave his son a worried look before finally turning to me with an unreadable look."Axe is already fast asleep. I'm sure he won't be able to hear our conversation."My sentence ends with a long sigh from Mr. O'Connor, who then walks over to
