440 Words
Two days after, Ismail and Tia were in the living room watching TV and eating snacks, smiling at the scenes showing on the TV.
Before Ismail’s phone rang.
Ismail picked up his phone.
“Hi my sister.”
“I’m fine brother, how are you too?” Faridah replied.
“Yeah, I’m good. What’s up? You calling this time? Not like you,” he said with a smile.
“Nah, nothing much… I just miss you,” Faridah said.
“Ohhh… something seems off. What’s up? Tell me, this is not like you, Faridah,” Ismail replied, slightly curious.
Faridah sighed on the other end.
“Fr brother, I just miss you… and mom is not home. Dad has gone to work and I’m the only one here. I just feel bored and miss you… that’s why, nothing much, I promise.”
Ismail smiled.
“You miss mummy, not me… just admit it. You guys fight every time,” he said jokingly, and both siblings laughed.
“Or will you come to my place?” Ismail added.
“Nah, I’m not coming. You have a visitor… and apart from that, I don’t feel like leaving this house.”
Ismail shook his head slightly.
“That’s always like you. Or is there any country you want to travel to? Tell me,” he said with a teasing tone.
“Nah, I’m not going anywhere. I’m fine here… just want to hear your voice. I’ll call you later, byeee… and my regards to your visitor.”
And the call ended.
Ismail turned his face to Tia.
“That’s my sister,” he said.
Tia nodded.
“Phewww,” she smiled softly.
“She misses me,” Ismail added.
“Wow… she can just come here and see her brother.I’ll leave soon actually,” Tia said casually.
“Nah, not because of you. She’s the introvert type that doesn’t like going out and showing her feelings… and she will be very shy around you,” Ismail explained to Tia.
“Ohh… she’s aware I’m here? Since we are both girls, she can just come and vibe,” Tia replied.
“Yes, she’s aware. She knows everything… and she likes you,” Ismail said, looking at Tia.
“You never told me you had a younger sibling,” Tia replied.
“I thought you knew, because everybody knows… especially my fans,” Ismail said with a slight grin.
“And who said I’m your fan?” Tia said, smiling all over her face.
“This proves you are one… the smile on your face,” Ismail said as he sat properly and faced Tia.
