We investigate the three open clusters near Aquila Rift cloud, named as UPK 39 (\texttt{c1} hereafter), UPK 41 (\texttt{c2} hereafter) in Sim et al. (2019) and PHOC 39 (\texttt{c3} hereafter) in Hunt \& Reffert (2021), respectively. Using photometric passpands, reddening, and extinction from Gaia DR3, we construct the color-absolute-magnitude diagram (CAMD). Using isochrone fits their ages are estimated as 6.3±0.9, 8.1±1.4 and 21.8±2.2 Myr, respectively. Their proper motions and radial velocities, estimated using data from Gaia and LAMOST are very similar. From their orbits, relative distances among them at different times, kinematics, ages, and metallicities, we conclude that \texttt{c1} and \texttt{c2} are primordial binary open cluster, which are likely to have been formed at the same time, and \texttt{c3} may capture \texttt{c1}, \texttt{c2} in the future.
