Traveller's Darkling Legacy

English isnt my first language but i hope you enjoy the journey i present ;)

***

I knock the door twice and open it. I see the only person in the room already show a cute smile. "Felix!" that is my twin sister, Savanya, sitting in hospital's bed after suddenly fainted 2 days ago. I put plastic bag that full with fruits I bought in table on her left side and sit in the chair. "I want apple.." I nodded, I took an apple from the plastic and started cutting it with a dinner knife from her last lunch set.

Long black hair, pale skin, and black eyes. Everyone know she is the resemble of beauty. She even has many good friends around her, I see many flowers in her right side with wishes cards. She also clever and being an IT girl, I dont understand why such a perfect human like her always get sick for nothing, she even fainted this time after went to the beach with her friends. 

I sighed, very much the opposite of me.

"When they will come?" I look at her face, she is asking about our busy parents.

Having a rich-busy parents never feel good except for their money, maybe I can handle my emotion toward them since I dont care what they do as long as they fulfill my life and Savanya's. But she is just a girl who collect achievements for getting parent's attention. They know they have a weak daughter but always sends an aide rather than being present themselves.

I smiled sadly. "You know Anya, father is busy abroad."

"..then what about mom?" she asked, I can hear her voice kinda cracked.

"She's busy too.." Savanya sighed and laying her back, "you also busy but always check on me every morning, afternoon, and before you go to the bed."

I put apple slices in plate then my left hand rubbed the top of her head. "You are important to me, I have no one except you.. that's why you have to getting better and I will plan a date for us." She chuckled. 

Savanya is the only person who can understand me. I have no friends and I dont have a good relationship with our parents but she always in there, I mean since we're twins obviously she is like my other soul.

Savanya looked at my eyes then I can see her fingers intertwined with each other as if she was worried about something.

"What it is about?"

I can guarantee it is not about our parents, she always speaks openly about it and looking at the situation which she takes a break from college I don't think it is about it also. Friends? I can laugh if it's true since she is the IT girl she never have a problem called breaking up with friends.

"Felix," she calls me with a serious voice. "Can you do me a favor?" she asked with her eyes focused on mine. I nodded and say, "I never say no tho."

Savanya shifted my body to the side and opened the desk drawer, her hand pulled a book from there and handed it to me. I'm confused. I never see this kind of book before, a book wrapped in dull leather with a gold strap dangling from the middle. "Err..?" 

"I met someone, he asked for help to look after this book until his friend came, I need you to replace me," i turned the book and touched the front, "he said to not open it," Savanya said like she knew well what am i doing. I stopped my fingers and look at her, "how can his friends know about the book location?"

Savanya shrugged her shoulders.

"You are not doing something dangerous right?" she shook her head, "why dont you do it by yourself? and why was he giving it to you not himself?" i asked again.

"Pipop!" she crossed her arms and made a funny face. "Too many questions!" I laughed, the previous serious atmosphere suddenly shattered. "It's just so suspicious.."

"You just have to keep it until someone ask for it."

"How can I know what that friend looks like?"

"You will know," she said.

"Do you know?" i asked.

"No."

"...but I beg you to really do what I ask," she looks anxious. 

"Why you say something like you wont see me again.. you can keep remind me, start from tonight."

I feel like I say something wrong when her face looks more anxious than before. I put the book on the table and stand to hug her, "are you okay?" she was just silent, but my feelings told me that she wasn't fine. I stroked her head gently as if transferring my energy that I hope can make her feels more better since i rarely get sick. "Promise me."

"Yea.. you can trust me as usual, you trust me right?" I ask with low voice.

She nodded and slowly released herself from our embrace. Savaya smiled broadly showing her straight teeth, "now I want the apple."

I laugh, "I already serve you slices of apple, you can just eat it."

"No, feed me."

"Spoiled princess," I mocked her. She laugh, "obey me."

I rolled my eyes, "you're 5 minutes younger than me."

"Jokes on you saying like I'm really your little sister."

I laughed after, feeding her like a baby who couldn't do anything yet. We joked a lot and she asked about my studies that I didn't think much about. At that afternoon we really having a good conversation as siblings and it doesn't make sense when 1 hour after I arrived at home someone called me and saying the thing I fear most in life.

"What?"

"I'm saying again, Sir Cohen. I'm calling from Devouten Hospital, I'm sorry but your sister has passed away," the voice seemed to fade slowly in my ears, my brain refused to process it. "What?" I asked for the third times. "Is this really Mister Felix Cohen?"

"Y-yes.. I'm Felix Cohen."

I did put my name and number on the list of patient guardians because I was sure my parents didn't care, but what is this?

Is this an illusion caused by not sleeping well because of working on college projects? 

Or.. now I'm lost in my own dream? Yea probably it is.

"Can you come now, sir? we will move her body," no.. it's not? I froze, my body felt weak, my spacious room felt small and oppressive. I could feel my heart beating fast and my hands were shaking so much that my phone felt like it was going to fall. "Sir?" 

I held the phone with both shaking hands, "yes... I'll be there soon."

"Okay..."

The hospital person was silent for a few seconds.

"-I'm sorry to hear about your sister, sir. I hope she rests in peace."

Tuk. I turned off the phone one-sidedly and my knees just fell, my tears flowed. 

Savanya. My Savanya.

I cried.

The most beautiful soul and someone with a warm heart, how can a moon like me live without a sun?
