Bianca is a Mute!!

When Bianca and Rie was planning what to do tomorrow, the bell rang again.

"It must be Aly" Saying Rie went to open the door.

"Sis Ela. Papa told me to call you" Aly smiled.

"Ok we are coming. Wait for a sec" saying she called Bianca and took the cookies packet.

"What are these sis Ela"

"These are cookies."

"What is cookies?" Aly has no idea about cookies.

Hearing this, Rie smiled.

Cookie is a new sweet food in this kingdom. This is a recent popular sweet item for nobles nowadays. So no wonder Aly doesn't have any idea about cookies furthermore, she is still little. And these are only available in two shops in this whole kingdom.

But these cookies are not from those shops. These are made by Rie and Bianca.

"Cookies are sweet food. do you like sweet?"

"yes aaaa- a lot." Aly was so happy learning these are sweet food. she likes sweet a lot. But her father didn't bring extra food that much. She knows because their family is poor. So also don't tell her father.

So hearing about sweet food she started to wiggling like a puppy. Rie caressed her hair seeing Aly's sparkling eyes.

'Aly is so cute. It is a good thing she likes sweet. I have someone to enjoy sweet things'

Thinking she looked at Bianca, Who didn't even talk a word. Not even made any sound.

"Welcome to our home" Yfa smiled. "I am your aunt Yfa."

"Hi, aunt Yfa. I am Ela. He is Bin." Rie gave the packet of cookies.

"What are these? Ahh, you didn't need to bring anything. You are still young kiddo"

"It is nothing costly. Homemade thingy made by us"

"You are so sweet. Thank you." Yfa smiled. Both of them are cute and polite enough. She felt sad thinking they are orphans.

"Ahh, Aly bring them inside. Your uncle and I are preparing for dinner. We will finish within some moment. Aly, stay with them."

"Don't worry aunt. Just take your time" Rie smiled in return.

"It is good. Think as your home." Nodding Fya, returned back to the kitchen.

Fushi's flat structure is the same as their house. Almost all of the old flats were made following this structure. Some are two-room flats but all of these are newly made. And so these are costlier because of good facilities.

Opposite than what it should be.

Fushi's flat is quite empty. Except for the necessary things, they don't have that much household stuff.

There is a mattress on the corner of the room and a showcase beside it. Aly took them to sit there.

It was an awkward moment. Everyone is silent because no one knows what to say. Aly only peeked at Bianca silently.

"Sis Ela, you look so beautiful. Bro Bin too" Aly broke the ice after a moment.

"Thanks, cutie. You look cute too." Rie smiled and pinched her cheeks. To Rie, Aly is really like a cute dumpling. Her chubby cheeks are so cute. Bianca would have been like this too. If she would live happily. thinking this Rie felt a little sad.

"Sis Ela, can I ask one thing?" Aly whispered in Rie's ear.

"Ahh. What do you want to ask, sweety?" Rie whispered back.

"Bro bin can't speak, right? You told lie that time, right?" though Aly whispered, Bianca already heard what she spoke. Hearing this, she felt really dumb. And Rie started to laugh sheepishly. "Hahaha. You are right."

Looking at Bianca, Rie whispered "Actually you are right. He can't speak. Don't tell to anyone. Ok?"

Actually, when Aly tried to speak with Bianca before, the small reply she gave was nodding or shaking her head. Without saying anything.

Although Rie said Bianca doesn't like to speak that much but Aly didn't believe it. She thought they are trying to hide it.

So hearing Rie's answer, she confirmed Bianca is mute. Because who would tell lie about her own brother. So she nodded.

Then she looked at Bianca with a sad look. Bianca was looking at Rie with a cold stare. But Rie was chuckling silently.

Afterward, Aly silently went to Bianca's side and patted her shoulder. Then she kept her hand on her chest like taking a pledge "It is ok bro. I will protect you from now on. Don't worry. It is a promise"

She saw one big person to promise like this so she also did it. She found it cool.

Bianca rounded her eyes. And forgot how to respond. Rie started to giggle.

"Sis Ela, don't laugh. Bro will feel sad." Aly humped.

"Ok, sorry Aly, Bin" she looked at the opposite side and tried to stop laughing. Actually, it was hard for her to stop laughing so she pinched her own hand.

After a while, Bianca opened her mouth "Ok. Remember your promise from now on."

"Whaa-at?" Aly was in shock. She already started to plan how to protect Bin from others. Who would know she would be deceived by Rie.

"youu? yoouuu can speak." Aly screamed. "Sis Ela, you lied."

"So what? Will you break your promise now?" Bianca gave a faint smile.

Hearing this Aly's mouth turned into a red tomato and she ran towards the kitchen.

'Ahh, I didn't know Bro bin's voice is so cute. Ahh, sis is so bad. She deceived me.'

In the kitchen,

"Darling, both of them are so cute. Ahh, I wish I could adopt them." Fya came with a joyful smile.

"Ahh, why we are so poor?? If we had enough money, we could keep them with us." Fya really liked both of them.

"See? That's why I told you to help them as much you can" Fushi pour the soup into a bowl. "But stop wishful thinking. Do you think they would want to be with us?"

"I know. I am just feeling sad. They are so young and alone. Who knows how their parents died? How much they suffered?" Fya sighed.

"We were like this too." Fushi pokes Fya's nose. "Did you forget how much you suffered? And we both are here to help you. Don't worry."

"Yah but they are so cute. Ahh such cute kiddos"

After a while, Fushi gave a perverted smile "But- do you like kiddo that much? should I work hard?"

When they are speaking, Aly entered the kitchen.

"What happened Aly?" Yfa didn't see her daughter like this before. Her embarrassing face was a little too cute.

"Ohh nothing. I wanna drink water. How much time do you need?" Aly doesn't want to be with them alone. She felt ashamed because of the prank Rie played. She doesn't even know what to say now.

"oiiiee. My sweetie. Help mum and dad for a little while. We are just about to end now. Go and talk with them." Yfa said with a soft voice.

"Ok, As you say." She spoke with a low tone. And after drinking water she returned back.

"what happened? It is the first time seeing her like this." Fya didn't see Aly like this before. Aly is an easygoing girl. Though she is still little she is mature. So it makes them happy. She is not a willful girl like normal kids who cries easily.

"Who knows? Stop thinking about these." Saying Fushi started to wash the soup bowls for dinner.
