WAIT FOR ME

Everyone was already gathered at the dining table with Celine who had just returned and seated herself among those who were there. One of them also spoke making Celine who heard it speak.

"Honey, where is your brother?"

"He's in the shower."

"Oh, did he wake up late?"

Celine shrugged her shoulders for a moment before the girl finally said, "I don't know, maybe it seems so."

"He must be tired," the woman muttered sadly. "I'm so sorry my son."

"What are you worrying about?"

"Of course, I'm worried about him," she said. "Don't you ever worry about him?"

The man who was looking at his food immediately sighed for a moment before finally saying, "No, why would I worry about him, he's already big after all."

The woman immediately shook her head after hearing the answer from her husband until where someone had been waiting for came.

"Good morning, David."

"Morning Mom."

"Sit next to your youngest sister, she deliberately vacated the chair for you."

David who heard it immediately sighed for a moment before the man finally pulled a chair and sat right next to a beautiful girl.

"Oh, yeah? So you did it?" The man smiled at Celine who was beside him with one hand rubbing the top of his head. "Thank you, my beautiful sister."

"You're welcome, Bro."

Then David looked at all his younger siblings who were in front of him so that the man who knew it sighed for a moment.

"What about your school?"

All of his younger siblings were just silent with their respective activities making the man who knew it immediately sighed. That also made Belen a little disappointed with her son and daughter.

"If someone asks a question, you should answer it. Sean, Sehan, Kayra, Kayla, Mommy don't like that!"

The four younger siblings immediately sighed for a moment before finally one of them spoke.

"I'm sorry, Bro David," said Kayla.

"Me too," said Kayra.

"Me too, Bro." Sehan lowered his head in regret.

"Sorry, Bro," said Sean.

Meanwhile, Celine who heard it immediately sighed and turned to the side where David, who was currently smiling, looked at her brothers.

"Brother," she called, making a man beside her turn his head. "Don't be sad, okay. Celine doesn't want you like this."

"I'm fine, Celine. Thanks for caring about me."

So great is David's love for this last little brother, he always spoils her. Since childhood, Celine eagerly awaited her arrival in this world until finally, he was able to meet her like he is today.

"You're welcome, Big Brother. But ... are you going to leave after this?"

"Yes, what is up?"

"I don't want you to go, Brother. Can I come with you?"

"You have to ask Daddy's permission first."

Hearing that made Celine immediately pursed her lips so that David who saw it smiled with excitement.

"What's the matter with you, Celine?"

"Daddy will not allow me to go."

"Don't worry, I'll talk to him later."

Celine's eyes immediately widened after hearing what the person in front of her had just said, so the girl who knew it spoke.

"Is that true?"

"Yes, of course. I'll try to talk to Daddy, if he allows it, then from tomorrow on you will live with me."

Celine smiled at David who was currently smiling at her too.

"Thank you very much, brother."

Now everyone was enjoying breakfast together in silence and the only sound was the clinking of spoons and forks clashing.

***

David walked to his father's private room to talk about his brother. He wanted to fulfill his wish so that he was now at the door of a room.

"Who?"

"David."

"Come."

The man who heard it immediately sighed for a moment before finally pushing the door so he could go in there so could see someone who was quietly staring at the window.

"I knew you would come here. Is this about your sister Celine?"

David took a deep breath before finally nodding his head. The man will try to take his sister so he can live with him.

"Yes, as you already know, then ... let me bring Celine, Daddy. Let me take your place and Mom to look after her."

"Don't you already know how your current problem is out there?"

"I know, Daddy. But I'll take care of her, Celine would be happy to stay with me."

The old man still had his back to him, he sighed for a moment before he decided to turn his body back and see David who was looking at him differently.

"So you're saying Celine isn't happy to be here?"

David immediately froze in his place after hearing what the person in front of him had just said.

"I don't know, but ... I want to be close to him, Dad. Let me bring Celine to live with me."

The old man's eyes narrowed immediately after hearing what his son had just said before finally sighing and shaking his head.

"David," he called. "Isn't this your reason for not getting married, is it?"

Immediately, David's eyes widened after hearing what the person in front of him had just said. He shook his head, he was surprised by what he just heard.

"Do you think that I like Celine? My Lil sister?"

The person in front of him immediately sighed for a moment before finally folding his arms across his chest.

"Yeah ... it's possible since you're the one who insisted on getting her out of here."

"It's not that I took her away, but I want to be close to the little sister I love the most, Dad. Celine doesn't want to be far from me either. Tell you what, if you allow me to take Celine to live with me, then I promise to make sure my Lil sister always studies properly. "

Hearing this, the person in front of him took a deep breath before finally looking down in thought.

"Please, Daddy."

"Okay, Celine can stay with you. But ... I hope you'll keep your word, David."

"Of course, Daddy. I'll take good care of it, you don't have to worry about it."

***

Now David had just come out of his own father's private room. The man smiled, he would bring happy news to his sister that Celine could go with him at this time.

As he was walking towards his own sister's room, he suddenly had to stop when he found out that Jane was calling him, which made the corners of David's lips pull up to form a smile.

"Hello," he said.

"David, where are you?"

"I'm still at home," he said with raised eyebrows. "What is it?"

"Are ... aren't you going?"

"To the office, but before that, I'll see you first."

"Oh, fine then."

"Yes, have you had breakfast?"

The silence with Jane who seemed to be waiting made David, who understood this, take a deep breath.

"Okay, wait for me."
