Chapter 4

"Do you think they'll be fine?" I asked worriedly. He also stopped at the front door and faced me. Oof, he's tall! And he was also serious when he looked. I looked away. I do not know why I was suddenly intimidated.

"They should be." he replied.

I sighed. "We must do something. What can I do-" I could not continue what I was going to say because he had already spoken.

"No. Let them handle it. That's their problem."

"But aren't you worried about them?"

"I know Karim." that's all he said. I stared at him. And then? "He's not running into problems... Like it's a problem. That fool is happy."

I frowned. What did he say?

"So... So it's true that Suwie is..." I looked at him meaningfully. He did not say a word. I immediately felt the edge of my tears. I slowly nodded and looked up to stop the tears I wanted to shed.

"It's true, right? A-And it's good that he's responsible for my friend." I whispered.

I also know Suwie and I know she's strong. That gave me an assurance too. I just look at the two, I know they are mature to think. And if Ralle was right when he said that brother Karim would not leave Suwie in the air,

I look down. I didn't even know Suwie had a boyfriend. Is that her boyfriend? Fling? He tells us nothing. To me. And to his older brother's friend. And. . . and she's engaging with unprotected s*x! I do not support it. I keep thinking about what my friends are doing that I do not know. Though I respect their privacy, I still can't help but wonder. I know they're liberated. Too liberated.

"Does older brother Stephiance know?" I looked at the tinted car.

He blames me. "What do you think?"

I swallowed.

"It must have been a mess when he found out!" I said. "Especially their parents. How is this? It will not remain a secret forever."

He looked at his older brother Stephiance's SUV. "For now, let them go first."

When he turned to me, I immediately avoided him. Phew.

Seriously why am I looking there?

"D-Don't worry. My lips are sealed." I assured him.

He nodded and grinned. "You slept early last night."

"H-Huh?"

"I never saw you last night."

THERE IT IS! MY SHAME IS BACK AGAIN! WHY DOES SHE NEED TO REMEMBER?

WHY ?!

" I s-slept e-early." I almost fainted. He smirked.

Wait? Does that mean he looked for me last night ?!

"Come on, dude." someone suddenly tapped Ralle on the shoulder so I jumped in shock. I looked at brother Karim. He looks lively and has a clear face. Maybe his short talk with Suwie went well? It laughed and said goodbye to me. I smiled and nodded.

Ralle and I looked at each other. I did not know my reaction as long as I just watched them walk into the SUV. When they disappeared from my sight I just lowered my hand from my constant waving.

I went back to the kitchen and saw Suwie there. She was already sitting on the stool at the counter.

"Where have you been?" she asked.

"Outside."

Her eyes lightened up. "Are you close with Ralle?"

"No!"

"Weh? Looks like you're close."

"We just talked." I looked away.

"Hmm Ral is handsome. You type?"

My eyes widened. What is she saying ?! She laughed at my reaction. "Cutie!"

"Tss! How are you feeling? Are you okay?" I asked again.

I smiled sparingly. I slowly walked over to the counter

"Uhm are you happy Suwie?" I asked in my small voice. I lower the glass of milk to the counter.

She was stunned. I need to know. I want to know if she's happy so I can go back to my senses. I was so bubbly before this but what I discovered last night stopped me from being the energetic ball that I am. I am scared, oo, and this secret will haunt me from now on, so I need her assurance. . . that she will get through this. That she will fight.

"Yes... I am very happy Cream." she smiled. Her pinkish cheek glowed. I checked if there's a threat of lie in her eyes but nothing. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really?"

"Yes Cream. And you're acting so weird." she grinned suddenly.

"Hehe it's not there. Oh hey, I'll take a bath first, see you at breakfast!" she smiled and nodded.

I ran back to Lianna's room. I'm glad she's happy. I can see it's genuine. And I feel bad for getting sad. I feel bad for being so emotional about this. I know she's pregnant. And I breathed a sigh of relief to learn that Suwie and brother Karim did not regret it. That's a relief. Even though they did it wrong and I still have a lot of questions, I know it's a blessing. The baby is a blessing, he or she is not a mistake.

I know I need to take care of her from now on. Ooooh the urge of taking good care of her is stronger now!

She's pregnant and we only know a little. Suwie doesn't even know that I already know !!!
