“Why did you save me back then? If you didn’t do that, you wouldn’t have died... You would still be alive now”
“And then what? I should have let you die and bear the pain of losing you? Regretting every single minute of my life thinking I could have save you”
“Losing me?”
“Before you even meet me, I have my eyes only to you. I wanted to confess to you on that day that’s why I followed you. You’re always in my mind when I first heard you sing. I never regretted saving you on that day. Now, my unfinished business is done... I can return home”
“You’ll leave me?”
“I’m not the person for you. Soon, you’ll meet him. Rylai, please do one little favor for me.”
Rylai went to Ronald’s parents. She gave something to them that made them cry. It was Ronald’s necklace which was missing when he died. Rylai asked if his twin brother is home but he wasn’t there because he was on trip. Rylai told everything about Ronald and her. First, they thought she was a lunatic but describing every tiniest detail about him from a stranger, made them realize she was telling the truth. They gave Rylai a journal which Ronald wrote with his important events in life. Rylai bade goodbye. When she got home, she read the journal. She cried because she realizes how much Ronald treasured her. Ever since, Ronald never shows himself again.
Two years has passed after I met Ronald. Now I’m a vocalist of a band called, “Cold Portrait”. Thanks to Ronald, I’m still loveless. After the concert, there was someone who left me flowers with a love poem. I wanted to thank him personally so; I said I want to meet him/her at a restaurant nearby. My, my, my, I was the first one to arrive, I was too early. A person walks by and I thought I was imagining things because he looks like Ronald-matured- kind-of-way. I have already moved on and there he was, back again.
“Rylai... Rylai!” he said. I was startled. “Sorry to surprise you but you look like you were in another dimension. By the way, the name’s Rick”, he continued. I have come to my senses, he was Ronald’s twin. Rick and I were talking for hours. I discovered that he can also see Ronald’s spirit. He must have seen him because twins are linked in some kind of way. Even.In.Love. He was telling me he liked me (so straightforward). “You have a different style from your brother”, I laughingly said to him. “Even we are twins, we are completely different, but we love and respected each other... I think”, he replied. Ronald was the shy type while Rick was so straightforward. Ronald is serious while Rick is humorous. Both of them are gentle and sentimental, they are no totally opposite. (Rick’s attitude is similar to mine, coincidence?). “Rylai, thanks. You set my brother free. I really appreciate it”, Rick said as he broke the silence between us. “I am happy to know that I brought smile to those sad lips of his. By the way Rick, what do you like about me?” I asked him directly. He gave me a strange look and answered, “I read Ronald’s diary... I mean journal... Well, when he described you.... I... I... Do I have to explain it?”
“No, there’s no need”, I said calmly to him. I could not torture his pride any longer. I already know what he meant after all. Looking outside the window, I saw Ronald smiling and waving goodbye and he just disappeared. I look at Rick and smiled, this is a beginning of a new story.
