Amnesia - Chapter 33

But their grandfather was strict on his word.He took Apollo with him.He was just four years old then.Apollo was just thirty minute older than Ares.He was the elder one.Little Apollo would cry a lot as he separated from his parents and twin.Their father died in an accident after a year.Things were becoming more complicated than.Their grandpa still believed then it was their mother who snatched away his son.He never had a good relationship with their mother but sometimes he used to come to meet Ares.Actually Ares and Apollo name were given by him.He wanted his grandson to be as strong and bright as the two greek god.

“How are you feeling now?” Ares asked him.

“Good.” Apollo answered, closing his eyes.

“Take rest,bro!You will get better soon.”

“I am taking rest for the last six months.I can’t just lie here motionless.I need to get up.I need to meet mom.” He said in a frustrated voice.

“Brother!” Ares downed his head.He was afraid how he should explain everything and how he would react.Will he understand everything?Or he will blame him for everything…..

“I am sorry…brother.” Tears started rolling from his clear brown eyes.

Apollo stared at him.He couldn’t understand why he suddenly became emotional.

“Why are you crying like a woman?Ares….You know you’re named after a greek god who is called god of war.You should not let your tears flow away like this.” He said in a concerned voice.

Though they are twin but they have a little bit different personality.Actually not a bit totally different.While Ares is warm,soft hearted otherside Apollo was cold and people often say his heart is made of stone which is lack of warmth!!He only had his soft side for his family but which is kindly unrevealed.It is very hard to understand his emotion.

“Mom is no more.” The sentence escaped from his mouth.

Apollo straightened his back.He couldn’t believe his ears what he was saying.

“What!!” He almost screamed.”Are you in your sense?Have you any idea what you are talking about?I am not in the mood of joking,Ares?”

“It’s true.Mom is no more….When you were unconscious mom passed away…” Tears were flowing recklessly from his eyes.

“How?” He said in disbelief.

“Heart attack.I left her in the grave by my hand brother….” His eyes were down.He still had no courage to look at his eyes.

Apollo couldn’t see his mom even for the last time.It was totally his fault.He was now guilty but maybe guilt couldn’t describe his feelings exactly.For the last six months he passed everyday like he was in hell.

Six months ago,Apollo was fully well.Their grandfather sent him abroad at a very young age.But still he was in contact with his mother and brother.He is now the CEO of Knight corporation.He was back at the country just a year before.Everything was going well but the problem started when their grandfather intended to drag Ares in his business world.He wanted to join him in his company.Ares started recalling the memory….

“I will give thirty percent share of company,Ares.”An old man in his early seventies told him.He has gotten old but his voice was no less dominating than a young man.

“You want me to leave mom,grandpa?” Ares said in a cold voice.

“I am not saying to leave her.But you need to go overseas with your brother.” He stated.

“Ares,I know you love your job.But we have a large business kingdom.You have to understand.” Apollo tried to explain to him.

“But for this I need to go from this country and leave mom behind alone.” Ares was restless.

“Ares,she lives alone already.Its not a big deal if you go overseas with me.We can still meet with her from time to time.”

“Bro,I can’t believe you are planning this with grandpa!!” Ares wrinkled his face with disgust.

Both of them dropped their jaws in surprise.

“What are talking Ares?Do you have any idea?” Apollo said in a cold voice.

“Yes.Of course.Grandpa never liked mom.He took you with him to separate you from us.Now he wants to separate me from mom.” Ares shouted.

“Ares!You are crossing your limit.” Their grandfather shouted at him.

“Ares.Just try to understand things are not like that you are thinking.Nobody is trying to separate you from mom.” Apollo said

“I won’t go…” Ares stood up from the chair in his anger.

Apollo went close to him for consoling him.Though he is just thirty minute older but he is more mature than his brother.

“Ares,calm down!”

“Or are you jealous bro?” Ares said with an ugly expression.

“What!!” Apollo couldn’t understand why he would think this about him.

“Because you couldn’t stay with mom in your childhood so you want me to separate from her as well?”Ares said to him coldly.

Their grandfather became very angry.He stood up from the chair and went to him and about to raise his hand giving him a hard slap.But something else happened.

Apollo came between them and as Ares was trying to protect himself from his slap,he just tried to push the person in a very light hand.But there were water dropped in the floor,Apollo’s leg slipped and he fell down from the window that was opened beside them.It his goodluck that he was alive even after falling from the third floor.

Ares was still guilty.For him everything happened.He shouldn’t argue with them otherwise his brother wouldn’t have to fight to the death and lie lifelessly for so long.
