Chapter 130

"It’s been a long time since the last time I saw you, and you turned into someone like this?"

Tiana’s smile dispersed hearing Matteo’s chilling voice condemning her... when she turned her eyes to peered at his eyes, there was no happiness in it after finding out who she really was.

Only disappointment and dullness, Tiana took a reflexive step back. His eyes were not gaping at her with brotherly love at all.

She didn’t understand, why was he mad? This wasn’t what was supposed to happen. Don’t tell her that Matteo chose Yanarym over her? His sister!

No, that can’t be, maybe Matteo was only confused. He didn’t know how much Azkin had gone through with Mia! That was right, she only had to tell him...

"... Brother, you --- you have to understand! They- THEY DID THIS TO ME! THEY MADE ME LIKE THIS! Help me! Help me avenge my unjustified death brother! Kill them all!" She wailed at him and held his arm. "They killed me, they hurt me! They are doing it all over again. Particularly Yanarym. Brother, don’t get fooled by that slut! She’s not a good person at all!" Tiana yelled, she was crying, she was angry. And right now, Matteo- Matteo was all she had. Matteo was all she had! He cannot choose Yanarym over Azkin too!

"TIANA! SHUT UP!" Lyndon panicked, he could see how Matteo’s face was darkening, but he couldn’t distinguish if that emotion was directed at Yanarym or Tiana.

Yet, it may be directed to Yanarym, because how could Matteo hate his sister who had been condoning in the human world for a long time?

"And him! He was that Francis!" Tiana pointed her fingers at Lyndon. "HE’S THE ONE WHO BROKE MY HEART! HE KILLED ME! IT’S FRANCIS! HE’S YANARYM’S LOVER! HE’S MIA’S LOVER! BOTH OF THEM KILLED ME BACK THEN! AND THEY ARE TORMENTING ME UNTIL NOW!"

"TIANA, I SAID SHUT UP! STOP DELUDING YOURSELF AND DRAGGING RYM INTO YOUR BLASPHEMY!" Lyndon tried to grab her but she hid on Matteo’s back.

Glaring to Lyndon as she was recalling all of his neglect on her, the scene where she caught him forcefully having sex with Yanarym, and how did they break up. Remembering her dream where Francis made Azkin fall in love with him and loved her in the cave the next morning he whispered his words of love to Mia and revealed Azkin’s secret to that bitch! How Francis killed her with Mia’s command and how he said that he didn’t care at all about Azkin! "NO! YOU BASTARD! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE! YOU AND YANARYM!"

Matteo glanced at Tiana, Azkin was a spirited child. He took care of her from the moment she was born until the day he sent her away. Because she was an exceptional creation of their father, she was pampered by everyone in heaven. She was sweet and greedy.

"Brother~, aren’t you going to take me down on Xleyl? You’ve promised me so many times that you will tour me there! I wanna go to the places you told me, and I wanna talk to mortals and see how fascinating they are, and! And! Remember the mango you brought from Xleyl? I missed the taste of it! Also that thing- that thing- what do you call it again? That thing that could make sounds if you strummed your fingers on it---what is that again? Brother. Brother! Are you listening, Brother?!... Teo! Matteo, listen to me!"

"What did you call me?... Matteo? Aren’t you being disrespectful?" Matteo shifted his eyes to Azkin and stared at her with a stern expression.

"I-I ... I’m sorry Brother." Azkin stepped back and pressed her lips and drooped her eyes, scared of her older brother’s strict voice.

"If you want attention, go to your brother Attan or brother Gilo or your other brothers. They would probably play with you as long as you want. Don’t bother me, can’t you see that I’m occupied?" He said in a calm but authoritative manner.

"But I want to be with you." She murmured and pouted, tapping her feet and nibbling her lips anxiously. "Brother Attan is good and Brother Gilo is fun, but Brother Teo is my favorite... I wanted to be with my favorite brother." She added and reached out for his hand without looking at his eyes. "You can get angry but I will stay by your side." Gripping her hand, she held him tightly and remained standing like a statue to his side.

Matteo didn’t say anything but a smile appeared on his lips, Azkin didn’t see it because she was frowning and all to the ground. She looked like a kid that was being told off by her parents so she was preventing herself from crying. It was adorable, but Matteo was able to ignore her and concentrate on his duties.

Their father made nineteen sons operate to the planets he created and heaven. Heaven was where their father sanctioned and Matteo supervised everything. Their family---it was good, all of the sons got along but something was missing.

As God was watching over mankind, he thought that they lacked a woman in the family but he didn’t want to create a wife, so he created a daughter, Azkin.

Everyone had their role to fulfill and Azkin was never part of the plan. So, she was not doing anything, particularly in heaven. She was like their precious pampered daughter and sister of the men in the family. As she was growing old, she developed a habit similar to her father. She loved watching Xleyl, the human world.

Oftentimes, Matteo would go down and just travel around. And when he comes back, he would bring a lot of gifts to each of his brothers and father. Out of everyone, Azkin would be the one who would have, literally, tons of gifts from the Xleyl. Although it was Gilo who was like the one assigned to the Xleyl, Matteo knew that world better than he did.

Azkin was a curious girl, she wanted to know everything about that world and that was her reason for nettling her oldest brother Matteo. She would do anything she could just to stick herself on him.

Love was not a concept for them. They were gods, even if they were absolute beings, emotion was a stranger for them. But Azkin was molded identical to humans, she had emotions. She would cry if she was sad, she laughed if she was happy, she would grumble if she was mad, she would frown if she was disappointed, and she did things a lot humanly.

"Father, can I tell you a secret?"

Azkin felt weird for the past few weeks. Whenever she saw Matteo she would have her heart going crazy out of her chest. She didn’t understand it at first but after watching the Xleyl with her father she figured out what was wrong with her heart.

"A secret? You have a secret I don’t know?"

"Father, a secret was supposed to keep and not to be told to anyone."

"But, I’m not anyone, I’m your father."

"You’re right, but I just found it now too, so I am not keeping a secret from you at all." Her father laughed.

"What a witty child. Then, tell me the secret. Don’t keep me hanging."

"...don’t be surprised, father."

"I won’t."

"I think I love my older brother. I think I love Matteo!" Azkin exclaimed to cover her mouth to prevent herself from shrieking in excitement. As if she was very surprised with her declaration.

One thing that their father gave to her was the ability to fall in love.

At first, Azkin was overjoyed when she realized that she could do love, but later she was in misery. Because love was not all rainbows and butterflies. Love accompanied bitterness and sorrows, God realized as well that he shouldn’t have given her a humane heart. If he didn’t give her that---she wouldn’t have fallen for Matteo.

It was not like God was opposing the idea of them being together. He was truly delighted when he heard from Azkin that she fell in love with the eldest. However, regardless of their opinion, Matteo still didn’t want Azkin. Not because she was his sister but because he didn’t want other responsibilities than his duty.

"I don’t want to marry Azkin, Father." Matteo entered the hall with knitted brows. He received the message after his venture that he would be marrying his sister. What a laugh, the little girl was using her charm again to get her way.

"Teo, think about it. Azkin does not lack anything. And what’s more? You’re siblings! Isn’t that great?"

"I made up my mind and it is what it is," Matteo uttered in a resolute voice. Azkin that was hiding behind her father’s throne heard the strong disagreement had her heart split in half. Matteo was always strict with her, but she thought that it was how he expressed his affection for her. Yet, it did not seem to be the case.
