Known by Their Parents

It was the next morning after that. Erito got up early first than Eriwan. He took a bath, got dressed with his blue navy shirt, coat, tie, and also blue navy trousers. While he was combing his hair in front of the big mirror inside his elder brother’s bedroom and was spraying some fragrant perfume onto his robust, strong as well as athletic body, his elder brother began to blink his eyes. Eriwan began to open his eyes as sunlight began to break into the bedroom through the big glass window on the left side from his bed.

“You’ve woken up, but why didn’t you wake me up?” asked Eriwan with his conical face. He pulled his lips a few centimeters forward but for Erito, he looked so handsome and cute even though he had just got up from his long slumber.

“You seemed to be sleeping like a log. It was so pity for me to wake you up,” said Erito in his bit relaxing manner.

Erito Frias sat down on the bed again and hugged his elder brother, who looked exactly like him.

“Now it hasn’t been too late for you to wake up. It’s still seven o’clock. I’ll be waiting for you while you’re having your bath and getting yourself ready.” Erito put his elder brother under his warm and fresh embrace.

“Okay then… You mustn’t leave for the office before I’m ready and walk downstairs, okay? Or else, I’ll get upset and you won’t be able to meet me in the next few days.” Eriwan Frias gave his sweet threat. Yet, for Erito, he seemed too cute to be missed.

Erito kissed his elder brother’s lips again and explored his elder brother’s mouth with his hot and romantic tongue.

“Okay then… Get bath then… Must I wait for you here or can I go downstairs first for a while and wait for you at the dining table?” asked Erito romantically.

“It’s okay to wait for me at the dining table. We can have our breakfast there then…” said Eriwan.

With his naked body, Eriwan got up from the bed and walked by his younger brother to the bathroom. Erito was looking at his elder brother’s sexy, romantic, robust, as well as athletic body while biting his lower lip. He sighed with quite a long voice after his elder brother had got inside the bathroom.

Erito walked out from his elder brother’s bedroom. While whistling melodiously, he walked down the stairs relaxingly, walked to the dining room where the maids were preparing their breakfast that morning.

***

A few minutes before…

The twin brothers absolutely didn’t know that their parents – Mr. Apollo Frias and Mrs. Columba Rajadi Frias – arrived at Eriwan’s big mansion at 10 p.m. the previous night and stayed overnight in the big mansion. Now, both of them had got up and got ready to have a word with their two lovely and identical sons.

“Are you really sure about what Delwyn Anderson told you yesterday evening, Apollo?” asked Mrs. Columba Rajadi to her husband.

Mrs. Columba was combing her hair with her slightly nervous manner. Mr. Apollo was now reading a newspaper which was taken by the maid to their bedroom. He was sitting at the desk not far from the bed – still inside the bedroom. Hearing his wife’s question, he sniffed a bit cynically.

“I know that Delwyn Anderson isn’t a good man either. He’s heard to be also a gay. More or less, I’ve also known he must be targeting Eriwan, my elder son. Yet, I’ve also known my two sons’ personalities and behavior. In this case, I’m dead certain Delwyn Anderson wasn’t telling me lies,” said Mr. Apollo Frias while still exploring the newspaper in his hands.

“But, the closeness between Erito and Eriwan doesn’t mean they’re having their incest and homosexual affair, does it?” Mrs. Columba Rajadi still tried to defend her two sons, even though Erito wasn’t her biological son.

“So, what does it mean?”

“They’re twins, aren’t they?” said Mrs. Columba Rajadi.

“They aren’t twins in fact. They merely look very alike so that almost everybody can’t distinguish who is who,” corrected Mr. Apollo Frias with his low tone voice.

“Yeah, just reckon they’re twins. They look like two peas in a pod. Eriwan is merely one day older than Erito. So, it isn’t strange if they’ve got that kind of intimate closeness which isn’t possessed by the other siblings.”

“So, what do you reckon?” asked the husband.

“Before I hear directly from their mouths that they love each other, I won’t conclude anything,” said Mrs. Columba. In this modernization era, Mrs. Columba Rajadi was one of the modern women with her widely-viewed perspectives and paradigms.

“I won’t be patient to wait until they admit it by themselves. They won’t admit it… This is Jakarta… This is Indonesia… This isn’t like the other countries where the marriage between gays are legalized. And I myself don’t want my two lovely handsome sons to become gays,” murmured Mr. Apollo sternly.

“You know what, Apollo… Twin brothers or sisters sometimes possess strangeness which doesn’t occur to the other biological brothers or sisters. Occasionally, these twin brothers or sisters can even use their telepathy or their own mysterious language which they themselves understand. You personally understand that Erito and Eriwan possess their own telepathic and mysterious language since the unknown time of their adolescence, don’t you?”

“Yeah, but that doesn’t mean they can be gays, Columba… If they love each other, they won’t get married again. They will be very lonely during their old days. Moreover, they’ll have no life-partners taking care of them during their old days,” mumbled Mr. Apollo.

Mrs. Columba began to be fed up with the same conversation and debate since yesterday evening with her husband.

“So, what are you going to do?”

“I’ll ask Erito to go to Singapore with me today. He’ll be staying in my mansion there until both of them can neutralize their forbidden feeling inside their hearts and minds.”

“What do you want him to do there in Singapore?” Mrs. Columba frowned her forehead.

“He’ll be in charge of another office of Frias & Co Enterprise there, and some of my hotels as well. He’ll be very busy until he doesn’t have any time to contact Eriwan here in Jakarta. I’ll get him superbly-busy,” said Mr. Apollo with his determination.

“He’s got his cellphone. He can still contact his elder brother via cellphone and the other social media. It’s impossible for you not to let him use his cellphones, laptops, and his other social media.” Mrs. Columba’s eyelids got bigger at once. She was a bit astonished.

“No, he can still use his social media, but I’ll get him superbly-busy until he doesn’t have any time to contact Eriwan here in Jakarta,” said Mr. Apollo.

Mrs. Columba got quiet after that. She didn’t have much to say anymore. At the bottom of her mind, she was slightly doubtful that her husband’s plan by separating their twin sons could work. Nevertheless, as a wife, she just followed her husband’s consideration and saw whether her husband’s solution could work well along with their twin sons or not.
