Something Unbelievable

"For me, it's just near. You know, I'm just alone and I need to save money." I replied to Sophie.
"OK, fine. By the way, I really liked you. I don't often accept friendship specially to those plastic and just good when you are with. But, when you are not around, you will be the topic of their gossips. I'm sure that you are a good girl and I hope we can get even more closer," Sophie said to me and it made me very happy.
"I'm so happy to know you. I will try my best to become a good friend to you," I replied and she just smiled on me. "I'll go down now. Thanks for the ride," I said and I opened the door of the car.
"You're welcome," she replied and gave me a big smile.
"Take care, Sophie." I wave my hands to her.
Today is a lucky day. Hopefully, everything will be alright in the next days.
I do my night routine and I set an alarm before I sleep so that I won't be late tomorrow.
Fast forward!
I'm sitting with Sophie in the bench when someone came.
"Hi Gladilaine. Can I talk to you?" the boy asked. He is the one who bumped me yesterday and saying that we know each other.
"Hey, sis. Why didn't you introduce me to your handsome friend?" Sophie asked me and make a lip bite. Yeah, Sophie is fond of handsome guys.
"He is not my friend," I replied to Sophie. "About what? Are you a stalker? How did you know my name?" I continuously asked to the guy.
"Don't be rude," Sophie told me. "Hi! I'm Sophie," she introduced herself to the boy and they shook hands.
"I'm Johan," the boy said. "Can you please leave us for a while?" he asked Sophie. "We just have something important to talk about," he added.
"As in now? You're already throwing me away?" Sophie joked. "Nevermind, just don't be rude to my bestfriend." She smiled and transfered into another bench.
"What are we talking about?" I asked.
"About us!" he immediately replied.
"Us? What us? I don't even know you," I replied.
"For sure? You really don't remember me?" he asked and I just feel irritated.
"Are you deaf or what? I don't know you," I replied.
"Gladilaine, we've been staying in the same house for two months," he said and I honestly was shocked to hear it.
"Stay with you in the same house? Why? Are you my brother?" I innocently asked.
"No!" He immediately responded.
"Huh?" I exclaimed. I'm thinking something bad. "You know what, just find another girl to play with. I don't have time to entertain you. Just leave me alone, Ok?" I said.
"Wait, wait, let me explain first," he insisted and even hold my hands.
"Don't touch me." I hastily pull back my arms.
"I'm so sorry. I was just driven by my emotions," the boy said.
"I will give you 5 minutes. Explain now," I seriously said.
"I am Johan. I have a twin brother who saved you last April from the, let's say gangsters. You were beaten by a baseball bat that time and if not with my brothers help, you were dead now," Johan explained. "He took you...." But I cut his explanation.
"Wait, wait! Baseball bat? Did it happened on April 1 at night?" I curiously asked.
"Yes, exactly," Johan happily said. If he really tells the truth, I need to know everything.
"I honestly forget what happened to me in the whole two months. It seems like, I just jumped into the first week of June from April 1," I told him. "What exactly happened to me after your twin saved me?" I curiously asked.
A boy suddenly speak from my back. When I looked back, he looked exactly like the boy in front of me. "I brought you home. We took care of you. We taught you self defense. But, you have an amnesia and we don't want you to get hurt when we told you your painful past. We hide your past from you that's why you suddenly left and here you are. You don't remember us even after everything that happened in the past two months," the boy said.
"It's something unbelievable," I said while staring at the boy.
"You have to believe because it's the truth," Johan said. "By the way, he is Jonas. He is my twin brother who saved you twice from death," he added.
"How can you prove it?" I asked while looking to them.
"You have an amnesia that time. You asked for our help to know your past but we keep it from you. We thought that it's the best choice to just wait for your memory to comeback. Besides, we don't want to hurt you. We want you to enjoy your life with us even just for a short time. We don't want you to remember your family and father who caused you to leave your own home. Then one day, you heard us that we keep your past from you. You get very angry that we lied to you and you just ran away. It happened last week and we tried to search for you. Glady, I'm so sorry," Johan explained.
"You know what, your words are very convincing. How long did you memorize that script?" I sarcastically asked Johan. Forgetting the past two months and now this people just suddenly came into my life. They are bothering my head and I don't know if I will believe them or not.
"I have a lot of pictures that we are with you. I you still don't believe, I can show you the CCTV of our house showing that you stayed with us for two months. If you will come with us in the mansion," the boy emotionlessly said from my back and I looked at him.
"Where?" I asked. Are they really telling the truth? Well, I guess they are.
