{Rema’s POV}
I was walking down the narrow road surrounded by trees and it was nearly 6:30 evening, my friends Selene and Vail were with me, both taking my left and right sides, walking together with me, towards our home. There was one more person today with us, Sam, Selene’s boyfriend, who was busy making jokes with Selene and Vail about my birthday party, which was coming the day after tomorrow. Though they were talking by my sides, my thoughts were somewhere else, confused, anxious, and excited for the same.
Soon Selene parted with us, towards her way home. After some it was Vail’s stop, followed by Sam. Eventually, I reached my house which was located a little far from the city. As I opened the door, I saw Mom and Dad sitting on the sofa and watching a new movie. My older sister, Ket was sitting right next to Dad, her face turned towards me, a mischievous smile on her face. Though I was sure, just as I entered, I caught a glimpse of my dad’s right hand on my sister’s thigh. But like in previous incidents, I ignored and walked towards my mom.
“I am home!” I called out, my voice carrying the same innocence and vibrant tone it always did. I sat down next to my mom for a quick hug. At 39, my mom, Natalie, still looks like someone in her twenties–slim, fit, and healthy. Her face always carries a positive smile, and her warm, natural skin tone adds to her youthful appearance. I’ve always seen her hair tied up. Though not so tall reaching 5’7, I have seen dad complimenting her legs ‘long’.
Today, she was wearing a loose green maxi dress with two buttons at the top and half sleeves. As she leaned against my dad, with her face resting on his shoulder, I couldn’t help but notice the glimpse of her cleavage.
“So, when are your holidays starting, Rem?” my older sister asked. She was wearing a purple and white tee and shorts with a mixed design. She is now 25 years old, with a slender physique having wavy black hair till mid back, natural skin tone, and with handful size breasts. She was adopted when my twin brother Aarav and I were 11 or 12. Despite being adopted, she quickly became the most beloved member of the family, especially to me.
Back then, both mom and dad worked full-time and needed someone to help care for Aarav and me. We often visited orphanages and old-age homes, and I felt an immediate connection with Ket because we had so much in common. She became a role model for me, and since Aarav and I had always wanted an older sibling, Mom and Dad decided to adopt her from the orphanage.
Looking towards my lovely sister, “From tomorrow, it will be for a week, sis” I said.
” Ok, go upstairs and change into some comfortable clothes, we all need to discuss something with you, it’s very important, ” my dad (Scott )said. He was wearing half-pants and a t-shirt. A very athletic-like body, tall and handsome. He has a slightly honey tone on his complexion. If my sister was my role model for her hard work during her childhood, then dad was my hero.
I got a little tense and started walking upstairs toward my room, I think today will be the day, I will get some of my answers.
I went upstairs and changed into a T-shirt and shorts. Looking towards the mirror, I can see why some guys stare at me hard. I resemble mom mostly except in the chest and hips department. Mine boobs though smaller than mom were bigger than every other girl in my class. My hair, which reaches down to my mid-back, adds an extra touch of allure on my smooth and cool ivory skin tone.
Remembering what Dad said, I remembered all those previous incidents where I got confused. As you see, I am like all other typical girls, cute, lovely, funny, and innocent.
I will describe to you all some of the past few incidents where I got confused, sometimes angry, excited, and lonely. It started after my 18th birthday when I started encountering such incidents.
Like
During our camp trip in summer, my mom and my brother were busy placing all the necessary bags in our van(like a bus with sleeping, cooking, etc. facilities available) for traveling, I remembered I had to take my handset from my room, so I ran back to my room to get it. While coming back, I heard some noises from the kitchen, it was a laugh of women, remembering that maybe my sister would be there I walked towards the kitchen. But just as I caught sight of the kitchen, I stopped in my steps because there in the kitchen, sister was bent nearly at 90 degrees and dad was standing behind sister nearly 1 meter away, there was nothing different in that situation but dad was looking towards sister’s hips and sister was giggling and shaking slightly her hips while looking back towards dad. But what happened after that was a real shock to me, I heard “Daddy won’t you help me there a little” from my sis. When I heard, I dropped my headset and unconsciously walked in sight of them, they looked towards me and my sister immediately got straight and acted like taking some things from the drawer.
“Ahh, Ket I will fix that after we come back yahşihan escort from the trip dear..” Dad said after looking towards me for a few seconds.
“Let’s go, Rema, by the way, why are you back? ” Dad said
” Oh…ah… dad, I was back for these handsets,…..I will be going back, see you soon in the van, bye,”- I said while picking back the handset and walking towards the door. –‘Well, maybe I thought wrong’.
After that, there was a scene where after I came back from college, taking half day, I saw mom and sister in the pool in their swimsuits, and dad was sitting towards the edge of the pool. Well, what was shocking was that sis and mom were playing in the swimming pool while wearing bikinis, very close to dad, both women’s boobs were shaking and dad was freely ogling at them. As I saw, I ran upstairs in confusion, not knowing what I saw was right or wrong.
There was also a time when dad’s younger brother and dad’s friend were at home for dinner, when I and my brother came home after playing with friends at 8:30, I saw mom was giving juices to both uncles and dad, and they were looking towards mom’s cleavage instead of her face or the glass. But what was shocking was that Dad wasn’t paying them any attention, and Mom, oh God, was smiling and, I guess intentionally, giving them the view.
While such scenes became common as time passed, I got glimpses but they were also very confusing, they looked like something but suggested something else.
A few months back, It was time for Mom and Dad’s trip to our family get-together. These get-togethers happen every few months, at the farmhouse, and every family member, extended family member, and other relatives and even close friends, I guess, used to go there. But interestingly I was never taken there, every time I requested Mom and Dad, they would reject saying, they would take me there some other day. Every time the plan for the trip was decided, Mom and Dad got so excited, which made me feel envious and curious. Hell, even my sister acted the same whenever she got a chance to go there.
Since someone needs to be there for us at home, my sister was chosen for that role. But this time, I heard something more confusing, I was, as usual, going to make the request, to take me with them. Just as I reached the room, “You know I will miss your older brothers and younger brother these time at the farmhouse…..” Mom said. –‘ I guess they will not be visiting them but why will ‘ –“I know, what you miss honey ~~, even I will miss my friend Dani’s wife”– ‘Wh..what..are they talking, why do I think there words mean something more’– just as I was waiting to hear more, I heard some noises from stairs like someone is climbing the stairs close to the kitchen, I quietly ran back to my room and that was what made me think, that the farmhouse trip is not something, a simple enjoyment trip.
(Back to present time)
Soon my confusion will be cleared and I hope everything will be okay because I fear that Mom and Dad don’t love each other and worst Dad is having an affair with my lovely sister or Mom with someone else, or something else is going on between them, but for sure it will be revealed today, before us sibling’s birthday.
Checking everything, I slowly walked back down towards the hall where everyone I love was sitting, Mom and Sis were on different sofas but this time there was a slight nervousness on everyone’s face. As I walked, my step’s noise made them more nervous. As soon as I got near to them I heard ” Come sweety, sit next to your sis place” Mom said. As I reached the sofa, Sis got up and sat next to Mom.
There was silence after I sat down, I guess they must be pondering over, who should start and from what. Seeing their nervous and anxious-filled face, I said, “Mom, Dad, Sis,….. You all know, I love you all the most,…I know, what topic you all will be discussing with me, but what I want to say is that, whatever you say, I will never think bad for any of you, I am curious to know, what secrets you all are hiding from me and my brother, why I feel, lonely, I don’t know about brother because he is always with his friends and barely spends time with me after our last argument.., but the way you all act, it feels like I am different, even though everything is good over the surface, but sometimes I feel like you guys don’t want me in because of those secrets, So please, I have never asked but today I want to say, what’s happening between you all…….is it something bad? Something concerning? whatever it is please do share with me, I promise, I will never judge you all on what you say…. “
With that, an inexplicable urge welled up inside me–I wanted to say something more, but the words eluded me. My eyes grew heavy with unshed tears. If they didn’t clear my confusion today, I knew I would break down. I feared that my beloved, happy family was on the verge of falling apart. My brother hadn’t spoken to me since our last argument a few weeks ago, and the silence was yakacık escort tearing me apart.
After I said those words, Mom gave me a remorseful look and was also on the verge of crying, Sis got up from where she was, sat next to me, and gave me a good, long hug while Dad started saying, ” Dear, we are all sorry the way we acted, we didn’t know you will feel like that from our actions, but our intentions were not to hurt you….we don’t know from where to start… because there are so many things and how you will take them today…. But I think you are adult enough and we hope you don’t judge us and your sister in the wrong way….”
After hearing Dad’s words, I pulled away from my sister’s hug and looked toward him eagerly. But once again, I was met with a heavy silence; no one spoke a word. Maybe they were carefully arranging their thoughts, trying to find the right words for me to understand.
Soon, Dad spoke again, breaking the silence, “See dear, first, you don’t have to fear about our family breaking apart, nothing like that is going to happen not now, nor in the future. Your mom and I, love each other, so much that we are ready to die for each other, we had a love marriage, and not a single thing is there between us that we don’t know and are hiding from each other, heck even you sister, is still the same, and we both love her and always think of her as our first daughter…”
“The thing is…….your mom and dad…are in………what I want to say is that we are in an open relationship………..that means we like having sex with other relatives of ours, and sometimes close friends, that doesn’t mean we are not satisfied with each other or something, instead it’s like…. we all…I mean including our relatives…I will not say those names now, not because I do not want to, because, it’s better if you learn who they are with time;….thinks that sex is something which increases your fondness towards your close ones”
“Now don’t take us wrong, we are in an open relationship because we enjoy sex, we all have high libido…including your relatives….,” Dad said. He spoke all these with few breaks to let me understand them or take them in properly, but you know what, I felt like he spoke all those in a single breath. I was contemplating what he said and also connecting them to all those different incidents from the past when I remembered about sis, I suddenly widened my eyes to the extreme and looked towards my sis who was sitting next to me.
She was sitting still next to me, maybe there, as usual, to give me a hug if I needed it, but her face was looking down, If what dad said was right, then my role model sis was having sex with my hero dad, all behind my back, as those thoughts reach my head, my eyes were getting widened to the extreme and mouth got open in shocked, not knowing what to say, and how to react…..
Seeing my expression and my sister’s reaction, mom decided it’s her turn to speak,” Look sweety, your sister is not like what you are thinking now, when she first got adopted she was past 18 and mature enough to know all hard truth of life, she had her ups and down, thus before adoption, we already talked with her about our family’s condition with our relatives and friends, we told her, for us and those who are close to us thinks sex as an act for closeness and fun, but it is more interesting if there are no boundaries, and that if she got accepted in the family, she doesn’t have to adopt to ur family conditions, instead like a normal girl she can live with us, just the difference is that she knows truth, at start it was hard for her to get adjusted with us, it takes her 1-2 year, but soon she also started to consider us her parents, as she got past 19,she also wanted to make love towards your dad, and from there she got involved……and I am damn sure she likes what’s happening….right dear…?”
My sister was still looking down, her eyes full of tears ready to flow, she said timidly, “Yeah Rem, Mom is saying the truth, I love them the most. If I got to make my decisions once more, I would still choose the same, because I like them the most, I am sorry If you feel your so-called role model sis is the reason for our family breaking, believe me, we all love each other. I am sorry Rem you feel lonely because of our selfishness, I failed in my duty and failed to know, how sad you are feeling. You know, if I am your ‘role model Sis, then you too are my pride, best friend, sister, and everything, but I didn’t stand up….to your expectations….instead *sob sob* I made you feel bad, I am…sorry *sob sob*” as soon as she started crying, I hugged her tight, to let her know, she is still my role model….
Mom also got up and hugged us, a few tears also dropped from her eyes to my hands…….dad was looking back…..but I know…the way I asked them at the start…..was not the way they expected…….they never ever wanted to hurt me……
We stayed like that for a few minutes….seeing the need to erzurum escort lighten up the mood…I piped with a dramatic sigh, ” Ahh Mom, I am starving,……can I get ice cream after dinner today….pretty please~~~” with a small pout.
Mom and Dad chuckled a little, and my sister wiped her eyes. Still, her expression betrayed her lingering guilt, as if she believed today’s scenario was entirely her fault.
I got upstairs, directly to my washroom, removed both my shorts and tees in a hurry, started the shower, and stood there while thinking about what happened today…A day after tomorrow my birthday will be there, and I will be turning 19, everything was fine, but because of those previous incidents, and when I sat near them, I unconsciously said some lines that I didn’t think about before, I don’t know where those words came out from………..no I think I know where did they come from, these where the thoughts which were disturbing me and I don’t wanted to confront on them.
Now what should I do…I don’t want to know if what they are doing is right or wrong, but what I want to know is that, is my family happy and together? are they lying with each other? did they still love me the same?….
And I know my answers, yes they are more than happy with each other, their bonds are stronger than previous bonds, their decisions are not hurting other family members, and they have not lied to each other, they still respect each other, also they didn’t lie to me, if I remember, they only hide the truth, till I get ready…..AND MOST IMPORTANTLY….they all love me the most…I am so happy nothing negative is going on…I am still there cute princess….hehe..
Today they didn’t expect me to react or question them like that, which had hurt them mostly, I must go down and let them know what I feel….thank god…
Soon I came out of the washroom and again changed into shorts which looked like jeans cut near the thighs, and wore one of my favorite t-shirts…I walked down, but no one was present in the hall room, I took a glance towards my left and I saw Dad and sister sitting quietly on chairs near the dining table, Mom was also quietly cooking. Feeling bad, I walked towards the dining table, Dad looked towards me, searching for any hate towards them, but instead, he met with my caring smile, he smiled.
My sister still wasn’t looking at me, and Dad was visibly worried seeing her like that. I gently took her right hand in both of mine and said, “Sis, you know I love you the most. None of you have ever hurt me. You are still my role model, the one who faced challenges right from when you were nine, the one who took care of many young girls and boys, orphans, from the age of thirteen. You’ve always been positive, and your response to struggles in difficult times is something I don’t think anyone else could match–especially not me, without your guidance.
“After learning the truth, I’m happy you made decisions that brought you happiness and kept you close to our parents. So, please, don’t hurt yourself. I still think of you as my role model, even more so now, for the way you told me the truth. Because I know you love me just as much as I love you.”
While I was saying that, Mom and sister looked at me mid-sentence…
“Thank you for…..everything Rem~~” she giggled and hugged me…
“Here I bringss~, Momma’s today’s…..special dish with full of love,” Mom said while bringing the dishes.
We silently enjoyed the food. But everyone was again nervous about the future, not knowing what to say…I broke the silence, by enquiring, “So Dad, is….sex with others…I mean are there any rules you guys maintain between you two…”
“I know what you mean dear, as for your question, yes…..first between your Mom and Dad there is always a no lie rule, if asked, which exists without any need, second, sex can be with anyone, and anytime, but sexual hygiene and care are must….special days like anniversary, etc. at those days no sex with others….and there are some more, which I think when time is best I will tell you..”
Okay, good, now I must make a few things clear for the future, with them “Mom and Dad since I know the truth I don’t want more hide and seek in the house, if you feel like doing it, do it, even if I am home, including sister, I won’t mind you doing anything anywhere…but just don’t make me feel like a bug,………now what will you guys do when brother will come home… it’s nearly 9:15 and he will be soon home……?”
Hearing my last words, made all of them uneasy, visible by their face, maybe because they feared, brother might have also felt lonely because of their actions…..”We planned to inform you both today….but now….,” Mom was hesitating.
“We will decide after you guys have your birthday,” Dad said and we all agreed.
I was thinking now maybe everything is over when I heard “Sweety, you know you can join us too in our lovemaking ~~,” Mom giggled. Sis looked toward Mom bashfully before focusing back on her ice cream. And Dad was……..oh my god! I blushed a little and ran upstairs without saying anything, as I locked the door behind me to my room I let my cheeks blush wide while remembering how Dad looked towards me……..It was like when he looked towards Mom or sometimes Sis, pure wanting, desperate, but guilty and hopeful…….
