169 Two Good People

“So your name is Kalea, huh. Nice to meet you,” Kai said, formally introducing Kalea after Kalea had become less suspicious of the man with scarlet hair. Kalea was already in Kai’s house which was dominated by wood. The house was quite spacious and had two levels, with yellow lights in several corners of the room. Inside it looked simple, like any other country house. However, it was so neat that Kalea was already comfortable there without even thinking.

All the items were neatly arranged, the temperature was warm, and the smell that Kalea does not know where it came from was so soothing.

“Yes, thank you for helping me,” Kalea replied and sat on the sofa after being invited by the host.

Kalea watched Kai who was busy preparing a meal for her. Actually, Kalea was a little curious why there was no one she saw in the house, not even the sister Kai had mentioned earlier.

“Please drink the tea,” Kai said as he put down the tray containing tea and some snacks that Kalea had never seen before.

“Um, thank you.” Kalea smiled faintly but did not touch any of Kai’s meal.

Kai smiled and blinked, he again invited Kalea to accept his meal. “Don’t worry, I have absolutely no ill will towards you. There’s no poison in the drinks or snacks,” Kai said as if he knew what Kalea was thinking.

Kalea broke out in a cold sweat, she shook her head quickly. “I-I don’t think so, really.”

Kai chuckled softly, not wanting to force Kalea because she might become suspicious of him again. However, of course he wanted to prove that he really was not a bad person. He grabbed Kalea’s cup of tea and drank it down, leaving Kalea dumbfounded. “See? I’m fine, right? If I die in a second, then I really meant to harm you.”

.....

“There’s no need for that ....”

“I’m actually sad that you keep suspecting me, but I’m trying to understand since we don’t know each other,” Kai said with a bitter smile. He poured another cup of tea and offered it to Kalea.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know where I was because I suspected you too much,” Kalea replied looking down deeply, feeling guilty.

“It’s okay, I understand! My name is Kai Egner, I grew up in this village. And you? Are you from the city?” asked Kai looking curious but the expression on his face that seemed calm somehow made Kalea’s fear fade away.

Kalea nodded slowly, a little unsure about telling him about herself but she did not want to be suspicious either. Would not it be selfish if she was so suspicious of Kai while she did not want to tell anything to the man with emerald eyes?

“Um... if I may know, did you run away from home?” Kai asked again making Kalea swallow her saliva roughly.

Because what Kai said was true.

“So-sorry,” Kalea softly turned her face in another direction.

“Why apologize to me? Haha! You’re not wrong, Miss,” Kai said laughing softly feeling that Kalea was quite interesting. The gentle smile had yet to fade from Kai’s face as he continued, “I don’t know what trouble you’re in that you decided to travel so far to even be in this village, but if you need a place to stay, you can use one of the rooms in this house.”

“Really? I’m definitely going to trouble you.”

“Not at all! It’s just me and my sister in this house anyway. Just relax.”

“Then where’s your sister?” Kalea was finally able to ask about Kai’s sister.

“She’s in the room. She’s in her room every day and never leaves her bed,” Kai replied, taking a sip of tea.

Kalea instantly felt reluctant because her question ended up making the atmosphere between them awkward. “Sorry, I didn’t mean anything by it.”

“Why are you apologizing all this time? It’s not something sensitive, really. Do you want to meet my sister? She should know that someone is going to be living here.” Kai got up from his seat, eager to take Kalea to meet his sister.

“E-eh? Wait, are you really that easy to let a stranger stay in your house? What if I’m a bad person?” asked Kalea which immediately made Kai turn back to look at Kalea.

“You don’t look like a bad person, Miss.”

“Don’t look at the cover.”

“But I’m absolutely sure you’re not a bad person.” Kai still insisted, he walked closer to Kalea, he brought his face closer making Kalea hold her breath a little because the distance between them was very close. Kai’s eyes narrowed briefly, soon nodded as he moved his body away from Kalea again. “Right, you’re not a bad person.”

“Haah ....”

“Come on, I’ll show you the room at once,” Kai invited with a big smile. Kalea had no choice but to follow him.

Kalea’s heart was beating fast, a little afraid of the person she was about to meet. Kalea was quite traumatized, maybe because of her bad relationship with Angela at that time, Kalea was afraid of what if Kai’s sister does not like her and forbade her to temporarily stay at the Egner residence?

When they reached the end of the room, Kai opened the door knob. Kalea also went inside with hesitant footsteps.

“Sister, I’m home,” Kai exclaimed, walking over to the bed, an adult woman was there. She had the same red hair as her brother, straight and waist-length and looked very soft. Her body was quite thin, now smiling softly welcoming her brother.

“Hi, how’s your day?”

“Never be this great,” Kai replied as he hugged Ilene and then kissed her forehead affectionately. “Sis, I brought someone here.”

Ilene looked at her brother in confusion, the tail of her eyes began to turn to Kalea who stood at the door with an awkward smile on her face. Kai asked Kalea to come over to them.

“I met her on the way to the village. Can she stay here for a while?”

Ilene gave Kalea a long look that made the brunette girl even more awkward and scared. Kalea had no idea that Ilene would not accept her so easily.

“Hi, what’s your name?” asked Ilene in her low voice.

“Kalea, Kalea Orlin Lovaata,” Kalea answered, daring to look at the woman.

Ilene smiled weakly and said, “Very beautiful. I’m Ilene, nice to meet you,” Ilene said as she extended her hand to Kalea.

Kalea was stunned, she did not think Ilene would accept her that easily but it turned out to be the opposite of what she thought.

“You can stay here for as long as you want,” Ilene added. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

“...Thank you.”

Kalea thought these siblings were truly magical. Really very kind without thinking that they could be used by bad people.

After talking for a while, Kalea left Ilene’s room with Kai. The man showed her the empty room which was not far from his sister’s room.

“This is your room, I hope you have no problem with this room,” Kai said as he opened the door to reveal a room that already had complete furniture there.

“You letting me stay here is already very grateful,” Kalea replied.

Kai chuckled softly. “Make yourself at home, Kalea. Get some rest, you must be very tired. I’ll call you once dinner is ready.”

“Thank you so much again.”

Kalea looked at Kai’s broad back that was getting farther away from her, after which she went into the room. She put down her suitcase without any intention of cleaning up tonight because her body was very tired. Kalea laid her body down, looking at the ceiling of the room with an expression that was difficult to interpret. Her hand, which was thinner than before, moved to stroke her stomach.

Kalea was really taking her baby far away. Far away from the man who was supposed to be this baby’s father.

“Mommy’s still here, we’ll get through this together, okay?” Kalea said, speaking to the small fetus in her stomach.
