He was always a boy with a few words. The first word that immediately popped on his mind the moment Keishi-Realand Tatsuke met with Iman Firdaus, the little sister of his older sister's best friend was ;
"I want her as my little sister,"
A wish his sister, Rualle-Hana Tatsuke was more than ready to comply with. Well, who wouldn't. Iman Firdaus was the most adorable kid (other than her little brother) Ruelle has ever met. She's very obedient, her actions all innocent, and there was an aura of naivety all around the little girl. She would be more than happy to have an addition of a little sister alongside her cute(?) Keishi.
"You heard that right, Kairi? Gimme your little sister!" Ruelle demanded immediately to Khairi Lokman, her best friend. She always liked to call him Kairi, it's easier to be said. Khairi growled.
"Who do you think you are? There's no way I'll give my sister to a pervert like you!"
From the side, Keishi felt thunder roaring at the background as his sister and Khairi glowered at each other like lions fighting for their area. Iman beside him, was just looking at her brother lovingly, since the 6 year old girl doesn't even understand what's going on around her.
"You already have your little brother! Go do your gross cuddling with him instead!" Khairi shouted. Ruelle was shocked.
"Gross, you said! What's wrong with loving my sibling?! Besides, even Keishi-chan wanted Iman as his little sister! Right, Keishi-chan?" Ruelle turned to look at Keishi. Keishi just nodded, surprised with his sister's surprisingly scary state.
"If he wants a little sister so much, then go ask your parents to make another one! Why are you even asking for Iman anyway?!!" This made Ruelle shocked. Not far from them, Keishi's father chocked on his tea and his mother just blushed heavily.
Even Ruelle was red from head to toe. She looked like she was almost at tears.
"Kairi you...! You...! Meanie! Kairi you big meanie! Meanie!! What's wrong with asking for your little sister to be my little sister?!" Ruelle let out a sudden outburst totally not fit for a 17 years old like her. Keishi was speechless.
"What?! Mean? Me?" Khairi was dumbfounded. He always knew that he is mean but for the person he considered a best friend to call him that...! Now even Khairi has started to act like a child. He wanted to retaliate back but Iman stopped him by tugging his shirt.
"Akhi... what happened?" Iman stared at her brother. Keishi realized that there was a moment of silence in the atmosphere.
"Um... I don't... quite understand what really happened but... I heard my name called several times already..." said the little girl in her childish accent. Then she stopped talking for a while, thinking about what to say.
"...Did I do something bad?" She stared at Khairi. The same brown eyes with more innocent look on her face. Keishi heard Khairi clicked his tongue.
"If so, I'm... sor...ry...?" Iman was already on the verge of tears. Ruelle on the side was deeply moved by Iman's apology. She quickly dived to give a hug to the little kid.
"No, Iman...!! It's not your fault at all! I'm the one who should say sorry for involving you!"
Iman was confused. More like, she doesn't even understand what Ruelle was talking about. Khairi just sighed. Then he patted his little sister's head.
"Oi, pervert. Until when do you intend to hug Iman? Let go of her already."
"Cheapskate meanie," Ruelle muttered before she finally let go of Iman. Then Khairi lifted Iman from the ground and cradling her, he said;
"We were fighting not because you did something bad. This pervert of a big sister (Ruelle was shouting Hey! at this) and her brother wanted you to be their little sister. Do you like it?" He looked at his sister. Their gazes the same level.
Iman stared at her brother. Then she smiled. "Why not? Doesn't that mean Iman will have a sister and another big brother?"
A ray of light filled Ruelle's aura. "Such an angel--!!"
"Your sister already said yes, so why don't you?" Ruelle glared at Khairi. Khairi just sighed.
".....Oh, alright! But just metaphorically. There's no way I'll allow her to be your little sister literally. She's my only sister, geez!" Khairi pouted.
"Yeah, yeah. Alright, you overprotective-meany-cheapskate ("That's enough, Ruelle!" said Khairi) of a brother." Ruelle said, still quite sulking at Khairi.
Iman then jumped out from her brother's grasp, and then went to Keishi who was silent by the side, watching the three of them. He was feeling almost unneeded when Iman approached him.
"Hello. My name is Iman Firdaus." She smiled at him. "What should I call you, big brother? or akhi, like akh Khairi, too?" She asked Keishi. Keishi blushed a little before his quite motionless face formed a smile on his face.
"Hello, Iman-chan. I'm Keishi-Realand." Keishi stopped for a while, trying to take a breathe. He was nervous. A little sister....
"Please call me onii-chan,"

| Keishi treated Iman like he treated his own sister : Overprotective. |
- Akhi - Means "My brother" in Arabic. So does Akh = Brother. For sister = Ukhti.
- I've posted something about Khairi and Ruelle a while back before. It's not completed yet, though.
- Here's the link : Snippets 'bout Khairi & Ruelle.
- This is Keishi's first appearance on my blog. Khairi is already famous.
- Actually Iman wear a hijab, or tudung in my language but it's easier to draw her without. Sorry =_=;;;
- Please give a comment if you think I'm too lousy! (>0<) Need a building comment to improve myself.
