SISTER SISTER

Episode 19 'Fuck Your Principles!'

31

The two people left behind walked hand in hand towards the deserted game area of visitors. They decided to enter the slanted house and stayed in one of its rooms. Holding onto a safety fence made of iron. Rio was standing not far beside her, leaning against the sloping wall. A staff member who was changing the picture frame grinned when he saw the two of them. The staff glanced meaningfully and left the room.

Rio tried to ignore the indirect innuendo. Maybe before they come, there have been other couples who make this place as a place of courtship. The location and atmosphere are supportive. It was dimly lit, in the corner of the park and quite quiet. Unlike the greenhouse next door which is crowded with screams from people trapped inside.

Rio took a slow breath. “Where did you sleep these few days?” ask Kena as calmly as possible. He did not want to ruin this good moment with his own selfishness.

“At the house of someone I know,” answered Kena ambiguously.

There's no way Kena's saying she's been staying at Nael's apartment for a few days. Rio could have directly dragged her home and locked her in the room!

“Do you eat right?”

“What is it you want to say?” ask Back.

Rio looked at the low ceiling of the room restlessly. Not only was that what she wanted to know, but hearing Kena's state of being fine after leaving the house made her a little relieved. At least one of his worries disappeared.

With a glance at Rio, the older brother who never thought of him as the younger brother looked thinner than the last time he saw him. Rio's appearance was still cool, just that there was a faint hint of dark circles under his faint eyes. Is Rio eating right? Is Rio sleeping enough?

I dismissed that momentary thought. He turned his gaze to the ceiling of the room following Rio, “I ate well, slept well, and had no distress. How about you?” tanyakanya.

“I'm not all right,” Rio smiled faintly. “Which I said back then, sorry, I've been selfish. But, I don't know how I want you to know my feelings.” Rio moved riled up, “Soal Valeia, well, he is planning to cancel our engagement. Still not sure, and I have promised to his father if the engagement will continue.”

“.................”

Ah, it turns out that the news that Kena knew from Nael was true. Valeia did indeed cancel her engagement to Rio. Then why, after all Rio had no intention to agree to the cancellation. He even outright rejected it.

There was no meaningful response from Kena instead made Rio even more furious. He stuffed his cooling palm into his pants pocket.

“Papa and mama will be home tomorrow Monday, don't you want to go home too?” rio asked to shift the topic of conversation. “Go home. I'm going to be busy with OSIS, so you don't have to worry about feeling awkward at home. I'll stay at school for a few days. And about my statement..,”

Don't think too much. It was what Rio wanted to say, but his lips were locked by his heart. Wherever he wants to hear Kena's answer. Rejected or accepted, Rio wanted to hear it himself from Kena.

“You kiss with me?”

Rio reflex turned his head to look towards Kena, making sure his hearing was not wrong. He was surprised by the words that had just come out of the mouth of the younger brother he did not consider the younger brother. But Kena's expression showed nothing. Did he hear wrong?

“What?” rio asked unsure of his own listener.

“An answer to your statement, maybe by kissing we can know how we feel. Because I don't know the answer either,” said Kena.

I've thought about this a few times. Her first kiss with Rio was already shaking her feelings, even though at first she just wanted to prank her brother. His forced second kiss made him think that having a love affair with Rio was unacceptable, even though they were only half-siblings. This time she wanted to confirm it once again, how she felt towards Rio. Therefore, it was possible that this would be her last kiss with Rio. Before she placed herself completely as a sister, and Rio put himself as an elder brother.

Kissing with Kena? Rio almost slapped himself after hearing that crazy idea. It wasn't the first time they kissed, but she still felt overwhelmed. If they did so now, he could lose his mind once more. But by doing so they can ascertain the feelings for each other. Should he accept this crazy idea? What about the principle?

“Do you have a better idea?” ask Kena again because Rio didn't say anything. He also considered many things before making this decision. At least he didn't want to make his idea go to waste. Rio himself seemed to have no idea that could be put forward.

Kena sighed, approached Rio, then pulled his collar. “Personation with your principles!”

Instantly the atmosphere became silent. Rio's head was filled with dejavu feelings as Kena stole her first kiss first. But it was not the passionate sensation he felt at the moment, but rather the feeling of guilt.

Heart's hurt.

“Personation with your principles!”

Instantly the atmosphere became silent. Rio's head was filled with dejavu feelings as Kena stole her first kiss first. But it was not the passionate sensation he felt at the moment, but rather the feeling of guilt.

Heart's hurt.

The figure that appeared in his mind was not Kena. The girl's lips were indeed as sweet as the last one she remembered. The warm strokes and soft touches that stuck to his lips showed how expert the younger brother who was not considered the younger brother was kissing. Kena must have done it with another guy, that's what Rio had thought. There must have been another guy who kissed her.

But surprisingly Rio did not feel jealous. He might feel angry and curious about who Kena's guy was before, but there was no feeling of jealousy mixed in his heart.

It is the feeling of guilt that lays there. The feeling of being a traitor, the feeling of being hurt by his own actions, the feeling of longing that makes him want to immediately run to the figure that continues to loom in his eyes.

Valeia.

“Personation with your principles!”

Kena kissed the troublesome brother. As if to make sure as clear as his own feelings, he crushed those somewhat dry lips. His brain is processing quickly. What kind of feeling did she want towards Rio.

Such an intimate scene, such bland passion. He didn't feel like wanting Rio more than a?

For too long to be left alone by someone who is very valuable to him. He vented all that tension on Rio. And the moment that person had returned his feelings changed, not to Rio but to someone else. Nael.

Ah, I'm the one who turned out to be a jerk.

Kena leaves Nael in the apartment alone, leaving only a message that she will go to the playground with her friends. Has Nael read the message? Did Nael wake up from sleep? Has Nael had breakfast? Was Nael looking for her whereabouts when she just opened her eyes?

Can the man live without him? No, but can Kena live without Nael?

Not the figure of Rio, never the precious Rio in his heart. Kena opened her eyes, regretting the bland kiss that was being done. Reprehensive, aware of the stupidity that should have been obvious in plain sight. His heart, his outlook, his life, was only on Nael.

I want to meet him!
