Chapter 17: Big Brother?

"B-Brother"

Those two words stirred up the memories that he wanted to seal those forever.

"Big Brother, Play with me"

"Big Brother, Catch me"

"I Love You, Big Brother"

"Big sister, you cannot have my Big Brother"

"Y-Yes, I-I will M-Marry M-My Big B-Brother"

"Big Brother, I am sorry"

"I will come as soon as possible"

"Don't forget me, Please"

"Wait for me, okay"

Eli cleared his thoughts and looked at the small girl who was now grown, with ponytail glossy white hair and Red Ruby eyes; wearing a pinafore dress that enhanced her lollipop body shape; her cute face with a small nose and small lips.

'drip, drip'

"B-Big B-Brother" the white-haired girl with teary eyes, slowly tried to touch his face but Eli backed and his eyes turned into a dull and lifeless one.

"B-Big B.."

"I'm sorry, Madam but I don't know who you are?" Eli said flatly as he avoided her touch.

"What?" she felt her heart torn apart.

"B-Big Brother. It's me MIA, your sister" Again she tried to touch him but he avoided it and said,

"I'm sorry, but I am an Orphan, Madam"

"What do you mean you are an o-orphan? 'sob, sob' YOU ARE MY BIG BROTHER" she shouted those last words while crying.

"Madam, Could you please calm down?" Eli tried to calm her, but New novel chapters are published on

"Why are you calling me Madam? 'sob, sob' Why are distancing from me?" Mia again tried to touch, but

"Excuse me, Miss, Could you please calm down first?" Adria who watching the scene on the sideline, interfered.

"Sigh...just what happened before I am coming?" Rose asked her disciple because this was the second Mia cried.

"I am sorry Master, b-but 'sob, sob'" Mia didn't know what to say and thus she started to cry in her master's embrace.

Looking at her disciple, Rose looked towards the one who was mostly responsible for this.

Eli shacked his head sidewards and raised his hands half.

"He didn't do anything. She started, ask her" Adria said solemnly.

"Is that so?" Rose didn't doubt Adria's words and looked at her disciple who was about to calm down.

"He is my Big Brother, Asher...Master" Mia got up from her Master's embrace and said confidently while looking at Eli.

Rose now stared at Eli and waited for his answers,

"sigh...No, I am not" Eli said calmly.

"Why are you doing this, Big Brother?" Mia said with misery.

"I'm sorry for being not there for you when you needed me, 'sob sob' I'm sorry for not coming, I'm sorry for being the worst sister, 'sob sob' I'm sorry...." Mia rumbled 'I'm sorry' while sobbing again.

"Mia, Calm down, I am here" Rose patted her back.

Almost Eli's heart melted at Mia's current heartbroken face but, 'I selected this path, so 'please' get it together Asher Eli' he collected himself.

After calming down, Rose asked softly, "Do you really think he is your brother? Your brother already died three years along with everyone, It might be someone else just look at him carefully"

Mia nodded her head and stood up, moved toward Eli, and tried to touch his face again but as usual, he backed.

"Hmm? Why not let her check your face?" Rose frowned as she started to doubt.

"If I ask you to remove your mask, just because you reminded of someone, will you do that?" Eli questioned her back.

"Presumptuous!" Rose furiously said, "We are checking whether you are her brother or not"

"If I am not...then?" Eli still asked calmly.

"If not, then we can leave it" Rose shrugged.

'Isn't she a bit unreasonable here?' Eli dumbfounded.

"What if I said, I am not fine with this" Eli said as he looked for Rose's reaction.

Mia, who was now looking closely at Eli's neck and can clearly see the three moles arranged in a triangle shape. So before Rose could hurt her brother; Mia said,

"It's Fine, Master. He is my Big Brother" Mia said with a sad smile and returned to her seat.

Eli stared at Mia who was smiling at him.
