Author's P.O.V.

Raven bit her lips and took a deep breath before entering in Ryder's room.

Her heart shattered.

Ryder was looking so weak. So vulnerable. Cable Of wires are connected from his body. Head is covered from bandages. Bruises are on his face. IV is connected to him.

Tears gathered in her eyes.

She could never imagine her brother in this condition.

She shuts the door, came near and sat beside him.

She sighed.

"Hii Ryder"

She smiled sadly when she saw no response from Ryder.

Usually whenever he saw her, he will try to take her attention, But today he didn't even see her.

"How are you, bro ?"

"You are going to ignore me, Ryder ?"

"Did you forget that you are going to ask for forgiveness from me ? I still didn't forgive you, you know ? So it's better if you woke up soon and ask for forgiveness from me, hmm ?"

Her eyes filled with tears seeing no response.

She caressed his hair softly.

"You know Ryder, I always missed you both. From the day when Mom told me that you guys are not going to come home, you guys are not going to play with me, I was broken. I cried. I told Mom and Dad that I will be a good girl, please tell them to come to me. I will never tease you guys. I even decided that I will give my favourite pink unicorn to you guys but I just want you guys back.-" She chuckled with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"But you guys never returned. You know, I always divide my chocolate in three parts still you didn't return. First, I was so angry because I thought you guys forgot me. You just leave me. I decided that I will not talk to you guys when you will return. But you never return. You know, when I went to school, those mean students always calling me names. They told me that because of me, you guys are gone. I was being naughty that's why you guys leave me. I told them that it's not true. But they never listened. And one day, because of this, I came to Mom and shout at her that I want you guys home, bring them home. She couldn't handle it and-

💭 Flashback 💭

A little girl came to home. She threw her bag on the couch and immediately went towards kitchen angrily.

"Oh you came Honey, go and get fresh-"

"Mom, I want Ryder and Ryan"

Her Mom stopped in her tracks.

"Mom, Where are they ? Tell them to come home right now" That little girl said angrily.

Her Mom's eyes glistened with tears as she bend down to her daughter's level.

"Princess, go and get fresh, I will make something good-"

"NO MOM, I DON'T WANT ANYTHING. I JUST WANT THEM. PLEASE BRING THEM"

She had enough of everything. How could her twins left her like this ? If she did mistake then she is ready to say sorry. Then why they are not coming back ? They are selfish. How could they forgot about her ?

She is sad, angry, guilty, as well as frustrated and as a result she is screaming at her mom to bring her brothers back to her.

"MOM IF THEY CAN'T COME THEN SEND ME TO THEM"

"RAVEN" Her mom shouts at her.

The said girl flinched badly immediately making her mom felt guilt.

Her mom sighed calming herself down.

"Listen Baby, you want to go to amusement-"

"NO MOM, WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND. I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITHOUT THEM. I JUST WANT THEM. IF YOU CAN'T BRING THEM, JUST TAKE ME TO THEM-"

"SHUT UP RAVEN. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BACK. THEY ARE DEAD. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ? THEY. ARE. NEVER. GOING. TO. BE. BACK." Her mom yelled at her shaking her little figure.

Tears rolling down their cheeks.

Raven's eyes widened like a saucer. Tears are flowing non stop from her doe eyes. She couldn't process what she just heard. Her mouth agape.

Her brothers are not going to back ?

Her brothers leave her forever ?

Her Twins are DIED ?

She shaked her head, removed her Mom's hands from her arm and took a step back mumbling "No, this is not true. You are lying. This can't be true. Stop lying, please"

Her Mom's eyes widened realizing what she did.

"Rav-"

Before she could hold her, Raven sprinted towards her room. She shut her door forcefully making a loud thud sound.

💭 Flashback Ends 💭

"I didn't came out that day from my room. I stopped talking. Usual bubbly girl became quite girl. Mute. I only came out from the room for school. Other than that I never leave my room. Not even on Dinner. I cried and cried. Screamed for you both. Apologizing so many times. Just because I want you both back. I really missed you guys."

Raven sniffled as she wiped her eyes.

"Being mute increased the bullyings. They started making fun of me. They started pushing me around. A verbal abuse becomes physical and I couldn't do anything to stop it. And Why should I ? After all, it was all my f-fault"

Raven sobbed remembering each and everything happened.

"Everyone are correct. Those students always told me that you guys leave because of me. But I never believe them. Uncles, Aunts and our cousins, all started blaming me that I am a badluck. Because of me, you guys left. They are not wrong tho. B-Because of m-me, you guys l-left and today David Uncle is also r-right. Because of m-me, you guys are h-here, because of me, you are suffering. B-Because of m-me, your life r-ruinned, Ryder. I-I am s-sorry, P-Ple-ease forgive m-me- p-please- " She sobbed uncontrollably.

"I f-found you after 14 y-years. P-Ple-ease don't L-Leave me again R-Ryder, p-please come back. I can't live without you guys, now, p-please p-please come b-back. I-I will do everything you say, just p-please come b-back this t-time, p-please R-Ryder please" She choked on her sob.

"Please don't leave me again, please. Come back. Please Ryder Please. I will be good girl, please come back..."

She leaned her head beside Ryder on bed as she mumbled, drained out from the energy due to crying.

"I love you, Ryder. Please don't leave me again, please, I need you. Please come back" These are the words she mumbled before falling in a deep slumber.

She is in her dream land when suddenly someone shakes her.

She flinched and frantically looked here and there.

"Madam you can sleep on sofa" Nurse said with polite smile.

Raven nodded and stood up immediately wiping her cheeks which is tear stained. She kissed on Ryder's forehead and left his room to get fresh and to check on Ryan once.

She went to washroom and completed her business and left to Ryan's room.

She saw Ivan and Pari are sleeping in uncomfortable position. They both kept their heads on Ryan's bed but their body position is sitting. She woke them and told them to sleep properly. They nodded as Pari slept on Left couch and Ivan slept on right one.

She kissed Ryan's forehead and mumbled a small I love you, before leaving the room in search of Alex. She searched for Alex and he was sitting on bench using phone.

"Alex"

"Hmm ?"

"Go and sleep, it's late"

"And you ?" He asked raising his eyebrow.

She chuckled and Said "I am coming in two minutes. Go and sleep in Ryder's room as Pari and Ivan are in Ryan's room"

He nodded and left.

"Madam, you are with Ryder Denmark, right ?" A nurse asked her.

A wave of panic rushed inside her and she nodded.

"Some papers need your signature" Nurse replied as Raven sighed in relief.

She followed Nurse and complete that work. Ofcourse they are going to ask them because Neither their Uncle nor David is here.

Or so she thought !!!

She was going to Ryder's room when something caught his eyes.

Someone.

She squinted her eyes to see clear.

Her eyes widened when she realised that she is not hallucinating.
