let me wipe your tears

"what are you doing, let go of my bag"

" I will drive you"

"but you said you're going to class"

""yes but I can't let you go somewhere you don't know, what if your sisters phone has been stolen and it's a trap and besides class activity today is not that serious. so let's go"

he took the bag and they drove out, a mile away from his house he asked her of the address and she told him

"wait!!! where?"

"what's wrong?"

"are you sure it's that place?"

"yes"

what would her sister be doing at that club and does she even know is a club?" he thought

but he still drove her there thinking maybe the sister just wanted to meet her there.

"why did you bring me here"

"this is the address, you gave me"

"Rían I don't have time for games"

"what are you talking about, this is the place"

before she could say something she saw her sis upstairs and ran after her calling out her name leaving him to follow her

"sister!! sister!"

her sister stopped and turned to see her little sister, this was not how she wanted her to see her.

"Aileen what are you doing here?"

she asked but she hugged her

"big sis, I missed you so much," she couldn't contain her tears

"what are you doing here? away from home"

"sis I wrote you an email, that I will be coming and you told me to come, here you can see" she showed her, her phone

"I never received any email and I never responded" her sister murmured

"sis why didn't you pick up yesterday, I was stranded"

"so where did you stay"

"with a friend"

"sis, mom misses you a lot"

"she's ok right?" her sister asked

"yes she's but sis it's getting too much please get us out of that place"

"is it that bad?!"

"yes, the work load and their insult is too much for mom "

*and you? what about you? are you alright there? the pain and the trauma?"

"I miss you sis" she said and hugged her crying

"oh my little sister, I am sorry I couldn't protect you"

"it's ok sis, that's why I am here let's work and get away from them"

"sit down, let me get you a drink"

Rían heard their conversation and his heart sank

Aileen eyes searched for him after her sister left

"what are doing there, come and sit down"

..,...

"so have you told your sister what you do?" a rival of the sister asked

"so it was you, you arranged this meeting"

"of course I wasn't going to allow you to be the favorite of what I have worked for"

"don't mess with me" she said and left.

.....,

"sis this is my friend"

They greeted each other and Iris gave them space to talk

"sis is this how these foreigners dress? there's too much skin"

her sister watched her talk about the past, present and what she hopes for the future,

she wanted to keep her sister's hope for a better tomorrow alive, she couldn't tell her it was difficult, so difficult. all she ever wanted was to come here and change the life of her family after their fathers death and what happened to her sister but it didn't go as planned. she excused herself and went to cry somewhere

no no she couldn't let her find out what she does there, she wanted her to keep her in high regards so she decided to leave that place and never to return to that place because knowing her sister she will come again and again if today's meeting doesn't go well to see her and if that happens she can't hide her truth.
