Rael and Alizejh

After an eternity of crying, Alizejh finally calmed down but not without blowing her nose all over my t-shirt.

"Are you okay Liz?"

She sniffed, her eyes red and her face, a horrendous mix of white and peach color.

"Yes.... sniff..."

We didn't say anything after that and stared out of the window. The branches danced as the insects chirped. There was a tranquil harmony that brings peace to the soul, beyond the trees was a beautiful water fountain.

Water sprayed out of it like a waterfall, sprinkling under the effulgent radiance of the crescent-shaped heavenly body.

"Hey, Rael."

I tilted to look at my beautiful twin sister, her silver hair falling onto her knees. Her skin was peachy, translucent like the moon.

Her sullen face, despite the mix of sweat, tears, and gel, looked endearing. Even more due to the melancholic expression painted on it.

"Yes?"

"Why do we have to go through such hardships?" She asked, tears threatening to come out of her eyes.
