He can not sell the star crystal right now so he need to wait until tomorrow before he can sell it safely without attracting the attention of others.
"With this crystal Hira's treatment will begin sooner that expected. I should go home right now, I can't wait to see what will be her reaction if she were to find out the truth." a smile appeared on his face when he think about his little sister.
"WHAT !!" she was unable to believe what she just heard, so she unconsciously let go of the glass of water in her hand.
When she was sitting awhile ago as she keep on thinking that she was just a burden to Mitz so she need to do something to lessen his problems. But she can't think of anything that can help her brother, what can a blind person do? All she did was be a burden to her brother, although they are not blood related she felt that Mitz had always treated her like his own sister so this made her feel happy.
Thinking of how the two of them meet together was probably the best moment of her life. Before he meet Mitz her life was dreadful as she is constantly in danger because she can't see her surroundings. There were already times when she was almost raped but luckily she was able to escape with the help of some people.
Everyday she would think of where will she get food to eat, where will she sleep? Is it safe in there? This questions will always fill her mind making her anxious that she wish that she'd rather die.
But all of it suddenly changed when she heard that voice.
"Are you alone? Do you need help?" although she was not able to see the person who asked her this question but judging from his tone he seems to be a nice person.
"I..I'm okay" and as usual she would always answer this question that she is okay. It was not new to her that someone asked her this question almost everyday someone would asked her this question but after finding out that she's okay they will just leave her so she thought that time it was the same.
The response she was waiting did not happened as she heard him said.
"I can see that your not okay so you don't need to lie to me. How about this I'll bring you home to work as a maid in exchange I will give you shelter and food. Is it okay?"
She was taken aback by this response as she never expected this person will be concerned about her. It might not be the first time someone offered her a home to stay by all of them just wanted to take advantage of her. Even though she was not able to see her face but judging from others responses her looks should be above average.
At that time she also didn't know why she accepted his request but she did not regretted her decision as it proves to be the wisest decision of her life. This person was kind and caring towards her, at first she thought that he had other motives but as days pass by she can feel that although he had an affection towards her but it was more similar to an affection showed by a brother to his little sister.
She had cried several times in front of him asking him why would he even bother on taking care of her but the answer she get everytime she asked was.
"When I first saw you it was my impulse that told me to take care of you. At that time I didn't know why but now I know the reason.
You did not deserve to be treated that way"
It was this answer that keeps her on curiously asked him why he think so but he was very busy on a lot of things. But thinking about it she understood the reason behind this, it was because Mitz wants to treat her eyes so that she can see again.
She was moved by that and inside of her she subconsciously made a promise to herself.
"My life will be his to use and I will never hesitate on anything he asked me to do." unknowingly she had developed feelings to this mysterious youth who had taken care of her for the past few years. She had become more beautiful that even Mitz praised her. Knowing that Mitz was doing everything to keep them alive and help others, Mitz had carved himself into her heart and with this she will never leave Mitz side.
"And by the way, Hi . . . Hira? Are you okay?" he asked her worriedly seeing her standing there in a daze.
Tears started to flow out of her eyes as she began crying uncontrollably.
"Waahh, Waahhh Big Brother Mitz thank you, thank you very much" she kowtowed in front of him for a couple of times before he was stopped by Mitz.
"Silly girl, I'm just doing what a brother should do okay?" he wiped the tears on her eyes and she patted her head.
"Come on, enough with the drama, let's eat dinner I'm kinda hungry you know" he casually joked as he held her hands and went to the kitchen.
Their home was not that big but it was enough for them to live. It has two rooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen. Mitz bought this home from an old man who sold it to them at a cheap price, the furniture in the house are all bought by Mitz hard work.
It was small but still, it was their home, the only place they can feel safe.
After having dinner they prepared to go to sleep. But Hira was unable to sleep at all so she went to Mitz room.
"Brother? Are you asleep?" she asked
"No, why?" he was lying on his bed and when he heard Hira's voice he immediately sat up. Hira was wearing a loose clothes but it make her look even more cute.
"I can't sleep" she said shyly
"Oh? Well, why are you here? Do you want me to accompany you until you sleep?" he stood up but as he start to head towards her he froze from what her heard.
