"I'm home!" Koa opens the doors and her sister Kalish immediately welcomes her with a wide arm.
"Sister Welcome home!" Koa spread her arm to hug her and Kalish immediately jumped to hug her back.
She entered their apartment while still carrying Kalish and she saw her best friend in the living room watching some TV shows on Netflix.
"Sister ice cream?" Kalish asks, Koa smiles and then shows the plastic she's holding.
"Tadaaa! Go get some scoops and glass so we can eat together." She said and Kalish immediately went down and ran to the kitchen.
Kian and Karra get out of their room when they hear the word ice cream and obviously they're racing who's be the first one.
"Sister, welcome back!" Karra beamed, she went out directly to the kitchen together with Kian.
"Yes! Ice cream!" She heard Kalish rejoice, Koa can't help but to smile. In the past, they had difficulties buying some rice. That's why it's seldom for them to eat what they want, like ice cream. Koa can still remember how she watched Kalish watching someone eating ice cream, when she asked if she wanted some she just smiled and shook her head.
"Don't eat too much, or you'll get a cold!" She recalled, she saw Elaine glance at her back in the fort and throw some daggers.
"What?" She asked, and then she entered her room to take a bath.
She wears pajamas and a white t-shirt after she takes a bath, she went out from her room and then she saw Elaine now drinking the tin can beer she brought in the convenience store. She sat beside her and looked at the television.
"Still mad at me huh?" She teases, and continues to dry her hair using some clothes. She heard it was bad for your hair if you wiped it with a towel.
"Why didn't you tell me about this good looking man huh? He just pops up here and then looks at me? No make up, dress like rags, and my hair is freaking messy as fock! I don't know how to face him now!" Elaine whined, she laughed.
"Well, I don't know that he will visit here today. I'm sorry bff!"
"But you know he's totally my type right?"
"Yes, of course! That's why I'm keeping him from you." Koa said while shaking her head, she knows Elaine will just seduce him.
"And why is that?"
"Because I know you're capable of having a lover so why would I introduce him to you?"
"As I say, we broke up!" Elained cried.
"Ey? Really? Aren't you just bluffing?" Koa look at elaine with a look of 'I-don't-believe-you'
"No, it's a long story but to make it short he is like everyone. He's also a coward, I really think he'll fight for me this time."
"Why are you always in love with such a loser with your wife? Could you stop that Elaine? I told you, you'll never find happiness with that…" Elaine sighs, and takes a sip. Koa after wiping her hair, she takes a tin can of beer that was in the top mini tables in front of them and then drinks it.
A silent reign and later on she heard Elaine sobs, she started crying. Koa put her hand on her back and started to comfort her, her three siblings went out from the kitchen while holding their glasses that had an ice cream and then looked at Elaine.
"Is she okay sister?" Kalish innocently asks, Koa nods.
"Yeah, finish your ice cream now. It's already eleven in the evening, so you should three sleep and take a rest. You two have classes tomorrow right?" Kian and Karra nod, Koa hugs Elaine and continues to tap her back.
"Aunty Elaine, do you want some ice cream? Please don't cry, I'll give you some." Kalish approached Elaine and then held her hair and slowly tapped it. Koa can't help but to smile because of Kalish cuteness but Elaine cried more. She also hugged Kalish.
"Woah! That's so kind of you, you're really an angel Kalish. I'm glad I visited here, ajujujujuju! That mother fu—" Elaine couldn't finish her words because Koa covered her mouth, she can't let her curse in front of Kalish.
"Kalish, finish your ice cream and then brush your teeth. Karra, can you help out our baby?" Karra nods, Koa kisses Kalish's cheeks.
"No problem!" She gives Kalish to Karra and carries their youngest sibling back to the kitchen to finish Kalish ice cream before coming to the bed. Koa already lets Elaine speak and then continues to comfort her. It seems like they really already break up, because Elaine will never cry if they didn't. Elaine has a reason why she chose this kind of life, when life really gives you no choice but to choose what you think is best. Even though she hates what she chooses, she loves her best friend and she genuinely wishes that someone will save her.
"I love you bestfriend! I really do, you know what? I am really glad that I met you! You're always there for me, I'm sorry for the inconvenience but you're the only person I could lean on for now." Elaine cried, Kian gives her a box of tissues and Koa mouthed a 'thank you' to him
"I know, I love you too. That's why just forget that jerk and move on."
"I decided to change my life from now on, I already quit my job! I will change my life and be a better person."
"Then do you want to be my sister's babysitter temporarily?" Elaine looks at her with a confused expression, honestly Koa can't just trust anyone else to babysit Kalish. While Mr. Gin is still finding someone who will babysit her, Elaine is a perfect person to do that. She loves Kalish like her own sister too, in fact she spoiled Kalish even in the past. Thanks to her, Kalish can have something she wants sometimes because Elaine gives it to her.
She's expecting that Elaine will immediately decline her, but to her surprise she smiled.
"Sure…"
Koa looks at Elaine sleeping peacefully in her bed, she takes a deep breath before she goes out of her room to drink some water. She went to the kitchen, and she saw Karra there washing their dishes.
"Hey, why aren't you asleep yet? You should leave that, I'll be the one who'll wash it." Koa questions her sister.
"We have homework, I finish it first and then I remember I haven't yet washed our dishes. You? Why are you still up?"
"I am thirsty, that's why. How's school by the way?"
"Oh, I made a friend. She seems nice, we play games for an hour before coming home."
"Really? That's good, I'm glad. But Karra chose your friends, I know you're old enough but still I hope you take your responsibility as a student well. All I want is the best for you…"
"I know sister, don't worry." Koa smiled and then messed up Karra's hair.
The next day, they all get ready early for a new day. Koa gives Elaine a tea to mend her hangover even for a little bit, she's massaging her nose bridge, probably her head is spinning. They're now in the kitchen all together having some breakfast.
"So you say I'll babysit Kalish temporarily?" Elaine asks Koa.
"Yes for a meantime before Mr. Gin find someone."
"But."
"No buts, you already agreed! Besides…" Koa moved closer to Elaine and then whispered something to her.
"Really? As in really?"
"Yap, so better accept this job before you decide what you want to do."
"Ummm, about it. I already decided to try modelling, I think I could do it? Someone offer me, that's why." Koa eyes sparkled because of what Elaine said.
"Omg! Really? I can't believe you're so grown up now!" There is a little bit of tears on Koa's eye, she hugs Elaine.
"I'm a proud mother." The three siblings just watched the two best friends having each other, the twin just shook their head and continued eating.
Koa is having a good morning not until she sees a sports car in front of their condo, and her boss is smiling fakely while leaning on that car.
"Good morning."
