Episode 4

The whole atmosphere between Jacob and Alisha becomes awkward. After the kissing, Alisha didn't stay for a single second and rushed inside the house and locked herself in her room. Jacob thought she was being shy and ran away from him. But the Truth is she hid her face in the pillow, sobs silently. Except for sobbing, She has nothing to do with it. Her Mom will be angry if she goes against it. Her Dad is concerned about his family's reputation and now She is having her own heart burn because of Jacob's unconditional love for her sister. She is being stuck into the mess perfectly.

" Alissa! Are you inside?" Mrs Williamson knocked on the door quietly. She is holding some desserts and waiting for her to open the door.

" Aunt Kathy! Do you need something?" She opens the door smiling fakely. Mrs Williamson touches her face while frowning.

" Are you okay? Why are you burning so much?" Alisha touches her face. It must be because of crying for a while. Her face is hot and red.

" I am fine. It's nothing. Come inside" She widely opened the door and let her enter. Later she followed her to bed and sat next to her.

" So Did you talk to Jacob?" Mrs Williamson spoke softly. She looks worried about something.

" Yes. Auntie. I did" Alisha holds the dessert in front of her and smiles warmly. She doesn't want anyone to find out about faking their identity.

" Then.. What do you want? Jacob wants to take you with him. He has been waiting for you for a long time. It's time for you to enjoy the world together, Alissa." Alisha's world just collapsed by her words... This is not what her Mom said. She would act like Alissa but after the engagement, She will stay here until Alissa comes back. To move in with Jacob was never in her plan.

" But Aunt Kathy. I have something to -"

" I know your Mom said you want to study further. Don't worry. Jacob will move in here. We have bought a new house. Jacob has bought his private apartment as well. Wherever you want to stay. We don't mind."

Mrs Williamson explained with the hope that she would say yes.

Meanwhile, Alisha is in a dilemma. How will she handle Jacob if she has to move in with him? No matter what She can't guarantee that Jacob won't come to her. She doesn't want to be treated as Alissa.

" Can I have some words with Mom before I make my final decision?" She presses her lips tightly but smiles nervously.

" Of course. Go ahead. I will talk to your father " She walks out with the tray.. Alisha didn't waste another single time going to her Mom

" Mom..We need to talk. It's urgent " She holds her Mom's wrist and walks inside their bedroom. Mrs. Harbor grimaces and follows her inside. She was making dough for pizza.

" Why are you acting like that? What if they saw us like this?" She angrily reacts. But Alisha looks more angrier.

" Mom! Jacob wants me to move in with him. What the hell is happening?" She screams letting her frustration out. Thankfully the doors are soundproof. Her words didn't go out.

" He wants you to move in, then Move in. What stopping you, Anyway?" She shrugs. Didn't understand what was going on with them.

" You want me to move in with my brother-in-law? Mom!! Can't you think straight? He knows I am Alissa but I am not. How can I just stay with my brother-in-law?" She frustratedly whines. She can't understand what her mother thinking.

" I don't find any problem with this"

" You must be kidding me. Or you are deliberately sending me as Alissa to live with him to avoid any more downfall? Did sister refuse to come back? Mom." She looks at her Mom with suspension. Or How can her mother never understand that sending her with Jacob means she will be there as Alissa and their relationship may take different turns? Jacob already confessed, She replied yes. So If she goes with Jacob, She doesn't know That things may cross the limit. How can her Mom never care about it? She can't just let her one daughter's life be ruined for another.

" Mom! Why are you silent? Answer me! Why are you sending me even though you know things may cross their limits" She yells. Her anger outbursts without knowing. But Suddenly someone else enters the room when she shouts. She thought maybe they found out. Her body shivers.

" She won't come back now, Alisha" Alisha finds her father entering the room with lots of creases on his forehead. He doesn't look good at all.

" What do you mean by that, Dad" asked Alisha with concern. She approaches her Dad to clear everything properly...

" Last night, When she ran away from home, She faced an unfortunate accident on the way. She is now in a coma and It will take at least three months for her to get up." Her father explained. Alisha takes a few steps behind. The droplets of tears are falling on her hands. She never thought her sister would get hurt...

"Why didn't you tell me anything? I didn't know anything. Why did you hide everything?" She burst into tears while shouting. Mrs. Harbor sobs silently. Mr Harbor had nothing to say so he lowered his head down.

The twins are remarkably good friends and sisters. Alissa cares about Alisha always. Like Alisha loves her sister. So the parents couldn't able to talk it out to see their other kid suffering.

" Sorry, Sweetheart! We didn't want you to be sad over it. Alissa cherishes the relationship with Jacob. She loves Jacob so much. But We don't know if We reject Jacob now, he will keep loving our daughter. Even if he loves her, What if she wakes up late but Jacob moves on? She will be hurt again. So We need you to keep the relationship alive between them. We know we are being so unfair to you but. We don't know how to solve it. We promise that we won't let anything go that you love. But if you don't want to do it, It's ok. We will tell them directly. If they reject Alissa. We will take it as Alissa's luck.. "

The couple Sobs softly. Alisha's eyes are on the floor. She can't think of her sister lying down on the patient bed for a long time. But She can't see her sister crying after knowing that Jacob won't accept her. She can't imagine any bad thing about her sister.

She clenches her fist and takes a long breath before looking at the parents.

" I will do it, Mom. Until Alissa wakes up. I know how much Alissa loves Jacob. I am fine sacrificing everything for her love. Tell them I will go with Jacob" Her determined words come out of her mouth but she deep inside is confused and insecure. Her world collapsed for a few hours.

Mrs. Harbor immediately hugs her daughter with a bright smile. She sniffles while hugging tightly.

Mr. Harbor pats his daughter's head with a proud smile.

" I know that you two can do anything for each other. I am proud to be your father. Sweetheart" Mr Harbor smiles ear to ear. But The real fighting is going to start with Alisha's heart. After all, Everything she will experience with Jacob is as Alissa, not Alisha.

She is heartbroken but for her sister. She can sacrifice her life without any problem.
