Part 6 Real Life

“Special?” I asked, looking at him.

“Yeah, this is my very first time, meeting somebody that look like my sister.” he paused and looked at me, “And even have the same personality, nobody ever laugh at my jokes… except for her.”

“Sister?” I asked him again, with my eyes full of curiosity.

“I have a sister… but we separated 10 years ago…”

“Oh… I’m sorry”

Truly, I felt sad for him.

“Don’t mind, it’s okay.”

I hugged my legs.

“Kazuko, I…”

“What is it? It’s okay to tell me.” He turned his head to look around.” There’s no one else here.”

“I’ve hiding this secret since I turned 7, actually, I have a big-brother too, but he just disappeared 10 years ago.”

“Neither than me.” He looked at me. “You can call me ‘Kazuko-nii’ if you want.”

“Really?”

He nodded without saying anything.

“Thank you, Nii-chan.” I said to him with watery eyes.

“Let’s watch the stars until morning…”

“Okay!”
