SINCE A FOREIGN GIRL ARRIVED

The man smiled after hearing what the person beside him had just said before finally speaking.

"Okay, then you should go to sleep now because it's late."

"Brother," Celine called with a bent face. "Could you accompany me before returning?"

"Are you still afraid to sleep alone?"

The girl shook her head for a moment before finally saying, "I was just missing you. After this, I don't know when you'll be back here."

"So what do you want?" asked David with raised eyebrows.

"I want you to sleep with me."

"Okay, I'll accompany you just until you fall asleep."

Celine nodded her head with a smile before finally trying to correct her position.

"Then let's quickly close your eyes. You need to go to sleep, it's too late."

The girl nodded her head with her sweet smile after hearing that so now she slowly started to close her eyes. She tried to dive into a very beautiful dream tonight.

David, who was beside her, curled the corners of his lips into a smile after seeing his beautiful sister who had now started to close her eyes.

He used one hand to rub the top of the head of someone who was beside him at this time before he decided to get out of bed after feeling that Celine was fast asleep.

"She told me she had a very hard time falling asleep. But she was so quick to fall asleep."

David shook his head with a smile after knowing this before the man finally felt a vibration on his phone making his brow furrow at the name written on it.

"Hello, why didn't you come?"

"Sorry, I completely forgot. In my mind, at that time I just wanted to get out of the house which was a prison."

There was a laugh from the other side which made David shake his head.

"David," Manu called. "Did you meet your sister?"

"Who?" said the man lazily. His brow furrowed for a moment before finally speaking again, "Hey, wait. Are you dating one of my sisters?"

"N-no, why do you think I'm dating one of your sisters, huh?! Are you crazy?" said Manu with a bent face. "It's just that I like one of your sisters. Am I---"

"Should not!" cut David firmly. "If you want, not them---my sisters."

Manu who heard it immediately sighed for a moment before finally smiling wryly.

"Damn you cheap!" he said annoyed. "Even though I only asked for one of your five sisters."

"The way you beg me is already like that, are they the things you call 'asking'?"

Manu's eyes immediately closed after hearing what his best friend had just said. He seems to have said the wrong thing again so he immediately pinched the bridge of his nose for a moment.

"Never mind, forget it. Oh, yeah, so when are you coming here? There's something I need to talk to you about after you asked me to find out about that strange girl."

"What is it?" David frowned slightly after hearing what his friend on the other end just said. "Don't make me more curious. Can't you talk about it now?"

"Could be, but ... don't know why I always feel satisfied when I know that you're being tormented, therefore ..."

One of David's eyebrows immediately rose after hearing his best friend hanging on to his words, making the man sigh.

"What are you talking about, Manu? Your habit is to make me curious, don't make me die of curiosity."

Manu chuckled then said again, "Therefore, you better come here tomorrow, okay? Then I'll just end our conversation here. See you tomorrow, bye!"

The call had ended with David now shaking his head with a smile after hearing what his best friend had just said.

It crossed his mind because he felt strange about what his best friend said, but the man only thought it was a joke and then shook his head before finally turning his head back and seeing his beloved sister who had fallen asleep so soundly.

The man walked over to his sister and kissed her forehead briefly. Then went out of the room leaving Celine alone.

***

It's 02.00 in the morning but a woman now finds it difficult to fall asleep, so knowing this she immediately got up from her bed and walked to the balcony to enjoy the beauty of the night sky.

"How are you going to tell me? Loving, still hurting. Being loved? Often drifting into greed. Surviving? Hurt. Letting go? More painful."

Jane took a deep breath before finally lowering her head with her eyes closed. "What should I do?"

Don't know why everything suddenly turned painful after the arrival of a strange girl who made her feel confused and doubtful at the same time.

"Is she not the others?" mumbled Jane. "Tell me please, David. I don't want to get hurt any further after knowing the whole truth."

Suddenly her phone rang, causing the woman to immediately turn around to the back where her room was before finally walking into there and seeing the phone screen that was on.

There was a notification of an incoming chat message, which made Jane, who knew about it, sighed for a moment before finally confirming it.

"Who texts me on a night like this?" she muttered with a furrowed brow. "Will I regret it after opening it?"

But the woman's curiosity was far greater than the risk she would get later, so Jane who knew about it immediately took the thin object to take a look.

Jane immediately fell silent in place with her eyes wide after seeing the contents of the message sent by someone so she immediately put her phone back on the table with a blank stare.

"H-how did she know everything? Why did she send me a message? What exactly happened? Does this have something to do with ..."

She immediately shook her head with both hands holding her temples before she plopped down on the edge of the bed with sobs that wouldn't stop for a long time.

***

The next day David, who had just opened his eyes, went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

He wanted to get to the Mansion first to check on someone's condition before he went to the Company.

A few moments later David, who had just come out of the bathroom, heard a knock on the door, which made him scream.

"Who?!"

"Brother, this is Celine. Let's hurry up and have breakfast together, I want to go with you!"

David's eyebrows immediately rose after hearing what his younger sister had just said, making him who knew about it immediately shook his head with that sweet smile.

"Just go first, I'll catch up later!"

"Aren't you going to belong?"

"Of course not. Come on, go over there, and wait for me at the table."

"Hmm, fine."

The girl's voice was no longer heard, making David feel sure that Celine had left the front door of his room.
