Caesar
“Boss, we asked them about Rodion’s location but they again and again repeated the same thing that they know nothing”.
“FUCK!” I stood up from the chair, leaned on the table by putting both hands on it and looked directly at him.
“You carry on with your search and give me all updates”.
“Yes boss”.
Same minutes my phone started ringing and saw mom’s name coming up…
“Yes” I said after few minutes.
“I’ll be back” And ended the call.
“Let’s head home” Akim left to prepare cars. In the mean time, I took my coat from nearby couch and walked towards the elevator.
‘Igor, what will happen to us?’ I released a breath and closed my eyes till the elevator opened.
I walked into the house and saw mom-dad with Alexei sitting in the living room…
“C” Alexei jumped on me immediately.
“Al” I caressed his head while he was still clinging to me and mom-dad were smiling at us.
“How was the meeting?” Dad asked as I went towards them and sat with Alexei beside me.
“Ok” I said and just looked at my brother who was playing on his phone.
“Oh, btw when are you planning to go for that Casino opening of ours?” Mom asked after few minutes.
“I am not going” She looked at me for further explanation but I didn’t say anything and she dropped the topic.
Alexei was busy in his game and mom-dad were talking among themselves. I looked for Igor but he was nowhere to be seen…
“He is in his room” Mom said when my eyes were searching for him and left for his room.
For the first time I was worried about getting inside in his room. I just stood there without moving. After at least 5-7 minutes I geared up and and twisted the door knob.
As I stepped in, I saw him looking at something, maybe a photo. He didn’t sense my presence until I reached beside him and called his name…
“Igor” He looked at me and I saw tears in his eyes.
“Igor-Igor, what happened? Why are you crying? Did someone do anything? Pls tell me…tell me” I started getting worried and sat beside him. Then wiped his tears.
Next second he hugged me and sobbed at my shoulder. So, I gave him some time and we both sat like that for few minutes. After a while, he detached himself from me and looked down.
“Now tell me what happened?” I asked him after he calmed down.
“I-I… Did I do something wrong?” He looked directly at me with tears welled up in his eyes.
“Wh-What? Of course not, how did this even came up?”
“You love me, right?”
“Yes” I didn’t even took a second to answer. And there was a slight smile on his lips.
“Then why did you leave me for so… many years?”
At last, the thing from which I was running all these years came back. But before saying anything I leaned in and kissed him. His lips were warm and soft, my fingers tangled in his hair as we breathed each other in.
After few minutes we both separated, breathing heavily but still are foreheads were touching.
“Th-That was amazing” He said while smiling and I kissed his forehead.
It’s been an hour since I came into his room, after our passionate kiss we both layed on his bed with him putting his head on my arm…
“You still didn’t answer my question” He was looking at the bandages on his hand.
“I have always loved you. I don’t know exactly when it started but it was definitely in our childhood days. First it was a feeling of possessiveness, which is by the way right now also and it will remain forever” He looked at me and raised his eyebrow.
“What? You want to listen further or not?” He didn’t say anything for few seconds.
“Okay fineee” I smirked at his cuteness and obedience.
“Then, it turned into jealousy, I was always jealous of others who tried to be close to you whether it’s in school or at home, except for mom-dad and Alexei… As we were growing up I fully understood my feelings toward you. I never felt you as my brother, there was always a spark between us which I tried to avoid but never able to do”.
“Then, why didn’t you say anything earlier?”
“I was afraid, I was afraid of losing you. Mom and dad has always seen you as their son. I didn’t want to break their heart by confessing to you or ruin this family. At that time, I myself was not confident enough to take a stand but now… I am ready to face everyone for you” I leaned on my left side and looked into his eyes.
“I love you too, Caez” The words that I waited to hear all these years were finally out from his mouth.
“I’ll never leave you, never” I was on cloud nine and kissed his lips which plastered a smile on our faces.
Igor
After having breakfast, I went straight to my room and layed on my bed. Whole time I was just looking at the ceiling and different thoughts were roaming in my mind, about ‘what is going to now happen? How will we both face each other? What will happen when whole family know about this’.
I was getting frustrated with all of these, that is when I sat and took out my parents photo…
“Mom-Dad, I never got a chance to spend my life with you. But I know you are always around me. Rose say that our loved ones always listen and guide us, this time I need you both to tell me, what should I do?” I traced their smiling faces.
“I wish you were here, sitting in front of me, caressing my face and telling me, not to worry. I wish…” I didn’t know when tears fell from my eyes and started crying. I was so engrossed that I didn’t even feel Caesar’s presence.
As soon as he sat in front of me I just engulfed him in my arms. The second I touched him all my worries vanished and felt his arms to be the safest place for me on earth.
All these years, I missed his hug, his comfort, warmth. Then I felt his soft lips against mine, which shocked me but I reciprocated the next second. That was the best moment of my life.
He then, poured out his feelings and that minute I knew, he is the one and only for me and no one can ever replace Caesar Mikahilov’s place in my heart.
