Chapter 17- Twist
Riku arrives to a blue door with the number 50 over the top he stares at it carefully finally he decides to knock on the door and waits patiently.
"Who is it?" said a voice on the other side of the door.
"Riku, I was at the school Sora was in, we attended together back in our childhood." He said moving closer to the closed door.
"Go away, or I'll call the police!"
Riku let out a sad sigh he turned his head disappointedly he gotten so far now it ended. His car was close by so he got his keys out and was already going to open his car door. He was feeling frustrated but there was no point in being angry.
"Excuse, please wait."
Riku immediately turned around to face the voice that called after him.
The young mother looks at Riku with hope "Are you Riku Goded?" she asks staring at him carefully studying the tall male.
Riku smiled relieved "Yes." He begins approaching the woman he looked at her carefully. "I am."
The elderly woman steps out of the door more "I'm Sora's mother." She says smiling softly at Riku staring at him as if she was waiting some day for Riku to come. Her eyes stared at him happily expectant.
Riku smiled widely "I'm delighted to meet you Mrs.-"
The mother cuts Riku off from anymore speaking eagerly inviting him in. "Please, Come in." she says disappearing into the house.
"Oh um, Thank you." Riku said stepping inside he looks around smiling imagining to himself Sora presence.
"Please, excuse my sister in law. I've got a heart problem, but she's the one who gets scared." She says turning to look at the silver- haired male with a sincere smile.
"It doesn't matter, don't worry." He says assuring.
"Sora talked a lot about you."
"We were good friends." Riku smiled.
"I know. The last time he came to see me he wrote you a letter."
"A letter? I never got it." His smile faltered for a moment.
"It was three years ago. He didn't know your address, so he sent it to the Ministry of Culture." She says with a sad expression on her face.
"Then I'm not surprised."
"By the time it was returned, he was dead…" said the mother in a sad tone her face grew dead and sad you could tell that she hadn't gotten over the loss of her son she held great pain in her chestnut eyes.
Riku almost fell to the floor but contained himself he was shrouded with deep sorrow his eyes grew dark it suddenly got extremely difficult to breath the room began to spin in a choke he manage to say "Dead…" the words came out in regret and pain e tried to ignore the word to somehow block out the news he tried to smile but it returned to a frown Sora's mother no any mother would not joke about their own son's death..
"Let's go into the dining room." She said breaking Riku's thoughts.
Riku follows he felt like screaming out in tears to be told any minute that it wasn't true but it wasn't going to happen he notices the picture frames in front of him one of them appeared to be Sora while the other picture was different the male looked almost like Sora but it was more brooding and dark looking if e never had seen Sora in this present time he would've been tricked into thinking that that dark brooding male was actually Sora.
"That's my son Roxas. The younger brother, he's in theater." She smiled. Riku's eyes widen big tears formed in his eyes threatening to stream down. Sora was dead it wasn't a misunderstanding Sora was really dead "He's changed his name. He says he wanted to be more unique and being Roxas was not his taste I suppose. He wants me to call him Angel even."
Riku was dumbfounded he held the tears back pained he tried forming words for an answer. He didn't want to react too outrageously he breathed heavily "I'd like to see Sora's room." He said in a choke he needed to be away from that room for the time being this was all too much to him.
Sora's mother eyes beamed and smiled "To be honest, he didn't really have a room." She glanced at Sora's photo. "But when he came, he liked to use the attic to stay there. Oh would you like to see it?" she smiled happily.
Riku nodded.
Sora's mother yelled at her sister in law "Were going upstairs." The elderly sister nodded back. Once they reached the top Sora's mother was out of breath and Riku scanned the room desperately as if he were to see Sora at any moment.
"Roxas burned everything; the notebooks, the clothes…all except those magazines."
Riku crouched down in front of a chest scanning the things that were inside he looks carefully. "There's nothing left of what Sora wrote?" he asked hopeful.
"No."
Riku looked around sadly "What pity."
The mother grew sour "Don't tell me you're a publisher too?" she asked almost sounding like she demanded an answer.
"No…What publisher?" he asks curiously.
"Soon after Sora died…a man came who was in charge of publishing young authors or so he said. He was desperate to get his hands on Sora's stories. He said someone recommended them to him." She said feeling bothered.
Riku skimmed through some magazines "Do you remember his name, or the publisher?" he says turning to look at the mother.
"No, but he was very insistent. So I told the truth, Roxas had burned everything…and he even asked for Roxas address. I gave him a false one, of course. I think that man was half mad." She said shaking her head remembering.
Riku stared at the magazines and what was left of whatever was burned to ashes all that was left was ashes. Riku expression grows dreadful.

Sora's mother opened a drawer and took out an envelope hugging it as she approaches Riku she handed it to him. "This is Sora's letter." She smiled "It got saved because I never told Roxas it had been returned."
Riku stared at Sora's mother gratefully "Thank you, ma'am." He swallowed hard.
"Don't judge my Roxas." She shook her head. "He's a good son… but his brother's death really hit him. He was the one who found him." She says beginning to cry she began to tremble missing her son's presence.
Riku hugged the mother he too released some tears but tried to contain some of it in Riku felt like someone just stabbed him in his heart and was spinning the knife around digging it deeper it was a feeling that he was going to feel forever and it was never going to go away all this time he was away he never got to say anything to Sora. That day they said goodbye was Goodbye forever…
