Young Sisters

Kenneth hung up a looked at his bloody hand. He looked for the first aid kit and took out the glass, cleaned the cut in his hand, and bandaged it in silence.

After some minutes in silence, Kenneth took his luggage and went downstairs, where a limousine was waiting for him.

He entered the cab and the driver started the limousine. Kenneth calmed himself and began to consider everything his mother told him, especially the arranged marriage between the Lewis family and the non-to-important-but-talented Mo family. He couldn't help but asked himself why his father put his attention to them.

Kenneth knew why he didn't was the one elected to have the arranged marriage, but he was going to fight to get him that position.

*****************************

Mijail stayed one night at the hospital and the next day returned to his house. His vacations started that week, and Christmas was the next week. He considered seriously about the matter his father told him the other day, however, it was something new for him: he couldn't comprehend why such things still existed.

Mijail knew that this was an opportunity for his family, but he felt that it was incorrect to marry someone he didn't know before. Furthermore, the one his father wanted to marry him was Kenneth's young sister. After having that thought, Mijail suddenly asked himself if Kenneth was engaged with some high standing woman.

'What I'm thinking about...' he muttered to himself and looked through his room's window.

Frieda felt that something was troubling his brother Mijail, and wanted to know the reason. She asked her father, her mother, and her two older brothers, however, no one gave her the answer. She suspected that her parents told something Mijail when he was at the hospital leaving her two brothers unaware of the matter.

"I need to ask Mijail and get the answer from him, I doubt mom and dad will tell me" Frieda went upstairs and knocked her brother's room's door.

"Who?" Mijail's voice sounded heavy and with complicated feelings.

"I'm your lovely sister Frieda" she answered sweetly.

"The door is open"

Frieda came in and saw that her brother's room was a disaster like a tornado just happened to pass. Finally, she looked at her handsome and a bit androgynous brother's face. His eyes were mixed with different emotions and he was also in deep thinking. Frieda immediately understood that Mijail was thinking about whatever their parents told him.

"What are you thinking about?" Frieda asked directly.

Mijail was snapped out of his thoughts and his cheeks reddened slightly. His sister was always a direct person that would ask or say whatever was in her mind without minding the people's feelings. However, she knew when she has to keep quiet.

The always observing girl noticed his brother's flushed, and couldn't help but mock him, "Mijail... Were you thinking something dirty?"

Mijail face turned completely red and Frieda began to laugh.

"Why are saying those things!?"

"Hahahaha!"

"Frieda!"

"I was kidding Mijail, just the face you put after I asked was something worth it" Frieda was holding her stomach while laughing, "Alright, I'll calm myself"

Mijail looked speechless at her sister and how she began to calm.

"I came to ask you about what is bothering you, you seem to be lost in your thoughts for prolonged periods" Frieda, asked him.

"Oh, you want to know... It is nothing, if I need your help regarding this, I'll tell you" Mijail said softly.

"Alright" Frieda understood that it was a serious matter, and that helped her to make some guesses.

Mijail watched his sister left his room and began to consider why he felt embarrassed when she asked him: Were you thinking something dirty?

'Was I really thinking about something like that?' Mijail was a bit confused. The only thing in his mind was if Kenneth was engaged with someone, 'Mayne she is right, I need to rest from these thoughts for a while, the next day I'll continue considering this matter about marriage.'

*************************

Kenneth was sitting in the back of the limousine looking at the trees that surrounded the path towards his family's house. He sighed deeply thinking about how he was going to tell his father that he doesn't approve of her sister's possible engagement. He knew it was going to be difficult, but if his father wanted the Mo family to become part of the Lewis family, he could accede to be the one to marry.

Finally, he saw the big mansion that was the property of the Lewis family. He looked quietly at the big house and remembered the loneliness he felt there when he was young. With those thoughts, he prepared a good state of mind to greet his sister and mother.

The butler opened the door and a servant carried his luggage.

"Welcome back, young master" at both sides there was a long line of maids and servants bowing their heads greeting the young master and heir of the Lewis family, Kenneth Lewis.

"Kenneth!" a young sweet and cheerful voice called his name.

Kenneth looked up at the stairs and saw a young maiden with white hair falling in her shoulders softly, two resplendent blue eyes like his and a pretty smile.

"Felicia..." he accepted his sister's hug and reciprocated it.

"It's being some time since the last one you came" Felicia looked at him with angry but playful eyes.

"I know, work and school were a bit overwhelming" he patted his sister's head.

"Kenneth, is good you return" her mother sweet and soft voice called him, "Your father wants to talk to you about something"

"But I want Kenneth to try my cupcakes"

Felicia looked at her blond-haired mother with a sad look. Kenneth looked straight at his mother's blue eyes and understood that his father wanted to talk to him immediately.

"I'll try them later with some tea," he said warmly to his sister.

Felicia agreed with difficulty and let go of his brother to their father's office.

Kenneth looked at the wooden door that separated him from his father and knocked the door.

"Come in" a firm and cold authoritative voice came from the other side of the door.
