We reached home without uttering a single word. I should be the one angry at Alice but she was was looking upset whole this time.
Maybe she was trying to emotionally blackmail me or i don't know , but it triggered my temper more.
"Despite everything i have done for you , sacrifice everything for you , all you do is spoils my name , punishment.
what am I supposed to do Alice?.
you want people to leave us like our mum?
you want me to leave you." i let out my soft cry.
"I am really sorry" Ire , i didn't mean to ,
i know i am always a trouble maker but i am trying to be better , really i am trying ." she wept closing her head with her arm.
This was the second time i was seeing her in such agony and pain , the first one was a few years back when my mum left us . It hurts me too as her sister to see her again in this way but that was the only way to make her a better person .
Alice told me that she and Voillet quarrel for some small reason and they started to fight,
and Voillet hit me and ran away.
"So you didn't punch her ?? i asked.
"I didn't punch her , if you don't believe me , asked my classmate Frey and Celine ,they were also in washroom when we were fighting ." she replied.
"She lied to principal and her brother that i punched her ." Alice added.
"But that doesn't change the fact that you were fighting with her " i shot back .
" i am really sorry , i will never ever do again " she gasped out.
" You promise Alice ? "
" i promise...... if i do that again , put me in the fridge for whole day " she joked.
I let out my laught " i should have done that today, you know ."
How last few minute we were being serious now we were laughing our ass off like a drunken duo.
After things were settled I asked Alice to
go and make up with Voillet and she agreed without hesitation. It's was past 5 pm so i decided to make a dinner, as i was cutting the onion. I heard a knocked on the door ( dong dong dong!)......
"who's there ?" I opened the door and to my suprised it was none other then Kain Canon, Voillet brother(i came to know his name apparently after Alice told me) .
" call your sister " he stared at me .
He just came and ordered me as if we were known for many years. But i didn't say a word and called Alice who was arranging her bed.
"What happen sist..." Alice stopped her question midway when she saw Kain standing near the door. Alice didn't moved from her position after seeing him , instead she quickly moved herself behind me .
" I am not gonna eat you , am i ? Kain commended on Alice behaviour .
" See Alice, from now onwards
you won't play with Voillet, you won't talk with her , you won't interact at all , be it at home or school , aight." he added.
" i even told Voillet the same thing so if you don't follow what I have just said ,you will get consequences both you and Voillet , you got me " he threatened Alice.
" What was that fuss all about ?
Was that a threaten ? i furiously pointed at Kain .
" Threaten ???? How ironic , when you are the one trying to threaten me with that kitchen knife ." he exclaimed .
Opps , he wasn't wrong , i was pointing him with the knife which i had used for cutting onion. I quickly put down the knife and he sighted with his mocking expression at me .
"I don't know what happen at school but it was already deal with appropriate method , You don't have the right to threaten my sister in inappropriate way as long as i am here ." i angrily responded at him.
"if i was you i wouldn't say thing about 'right ' knowing your sister broke someone's nose " he smirked .
" Stop with your stupid sarcastic joke , thats very unfunny knowing you dumb , unadjustable moody character " i insulted him.
" First teach your sister how to be adjustable with other , because of you being like this , she is spoiled , i don't care if it's sister, if it get on my nerve i wont hesitate to use force if necessary whosoever " he threatened again. I thought he was just depressed anti- social boy but turns out he is a maniac too .
"we have police for people like you ,
you know. " i shot back. He stared at Alice " And i have principal as a witness".
I wanted to say more but i couldn't take out my word ,i was dumbstruck . i could see him leaving and Alice and i stand silently .Everything went so silent i could hear the sound of clock ticking which i never realised I had one in my room.
" Are you hungry " i tried to break uncomfortable silent.
" Ya"
"Let me quickly make the dinner " i replied to her , while quickly trying to cut the vegetables.
The whole time while i was cooking food , i couldn't stop but keeps thinking the thing Kain spokes off ,and how he had threaten my sister . Maybe if he had told Alice that in good way , i would have agree to him but threatening her was the thing which made me really really furious. While having dinner , i told Alice to stay away from Viollet and not to make trouble again.
With things being said we went to bed .
Alice and i slept in same room , the room was big enough for two bed . She would have wanted her own personal room but i didn't have enough money to rent for multiple room .This room rent charge very low price because of only two room; small kitchen and attached room of ours, separated by walls and door.I manage for my college and Alice school education with the pension of my father and i do small part time job as a seller in Clavis Complex .
Things became complicated after my dad died , mum was not bad person either and that is why I always wonder why she left us.
I laid on the bed thinking about the good old days when dad would sing lullaby and mom would read stories and how i would sleep peacefully without realising things were never gonna be the same forever and that evrything would be strike off in blink of an eye. i close my eye , hoping for a better morning , hoping that one fine day a good time will come, and hoping to bring back Alice smile and happiness which she had lost from her innocent heart a long time ago .
