Siblinghood
"Susan ..." said Rebekah, she then sitting on the floor of the hallway that Susan had cleaned. "What hard thing have you been through? All your changes, from your harsh treatment to me to the strangeness of your behavior, it is very clear that something really tormenting you must have happened, tell me everything, don't be afraid, I am here, I will always be here for you because forever I am your sister," she continued, pulling Susan's right hand softly from her head, then holding it also gave it a warm touch.
After Rebekah pulled her hand away from her head, Susan lifted her head slowly and found Rebekah in front of her with a sad look on her eyes and face, the girl seems to be trying to hold back her tears because she is very sure that Susan had experienced great pain that made her become like this.
Susan continued to stare at Rebekah's teary eyes, making the look of fear fade from her face slowly, her breathing rhythm also started to regain its regularity, and sweat started to stop coming out of the pores of her face. Everything slowly changed to sadness for Susan as well, her eyes also began to tear up like Rebekah's, her lip began to tremble because of the cry she is trying to holding back.
"Rebekah ..." whispered Susan in a voice that was barely audible at all, but it was clear that there was a deep sadness in her voice, and in the end, the light-brown skin woman can not hold back her tears, she hugged Rebekah tightly while sobbing in her hug.
Rebekah returned Susan's hug with a very warm hug, she also finally can't hold back her tears and cry again in this moment of hugging Susan.
"Forgive me, forgive me, you are not a devil," said Susan in a trembling voice, her cries really contained such deep sadness that her tears came out so much and make Rebekah's clothes wet.
"I am your sister forever, I love you very much," said Rebekah, gently stroking Susan's back.
This sad moment lasted for about 2 minutes, they kept on sobbing and luckily no one has come in since the middle-aged woman left.
"Share your pain with me, tell me everything, don't endure it all alone, the pain you feel I should feel too, because that's how siblinghood is, I will not only be there for you to feel your happiness, but also your pain. Trust me that everything will be better if you will tell me about it and share your pain with me, so please, explain to me what happened to you?" said Rebekah very emotionally, her voice choked up several times when she said that, because even though she was crying, she still tried hard to keep it in even though of course, it was very difficult and almost impossible to do, but the girl still did it.
Rebekah and Susan then both slowly let go of each other's hugs, making their eyes finally meet again.
"What happened to you?" Rebekah repeated her question in a low voice.
"I ... I don't know," replied Susan who suddenly looks confused, she even had time to glance in another direction when she said the first 'I' earlier.
"All I know, I'm happy to be here. You're not a devil, and I love you, b-but I don't want to see you again, can I?" continued Susan, the gazes of her eyes turned into gazes of waiting for the certainty of Rebekah's answer, Rebekah herself, of course, felt confused by what Susan said just now, for that she was silent.
"S-Susan ... what do you mean?" asked Rebekah.
"Huh? I don't know ... I just want it," said Susan, she then freezing, glancing in another direction with languid eyes, while Rebekah stared at her with a look of confusion and a frown.
A long silence then ensued, the two of them remained silent in their respective positions for 2 minutes,
"Rebekah ... don't ever come back, no matter what."
Before finally Susan returned to speak and broke the silence.
