Chapter 556: Weak moments

Naira stared at Arna, she can't let Arna leave from her side. Hearing her mention Arsh being in the problem, the usual way of her response was actually, 'Noor was helping a stranger.' but she controlled.

Without daring to provoke her further, she stuttered while responding, "B-but g-game is game. That's what I meant to say."

Naira's response didn't do any good as Arna was already out with her anger. She turned to Noor and asked, controlling her tone, "Noor, how much did you return with?"

Noor who was about to run to her sister's side felt a tug at her arm. The warm palm wrapped around her arm made her look at the aloof face of the man before she responded to Arna, "Sister Arna, it's five hundred." 

Arna asked her next question, "How much did you spend for lunch and the snacks you bought for us?"

Naira's lips opened but no words came out. She just thought about bringing more money, she never thought of bringing anything to them.

Noor calculated her lunch, the coffee she bought for the cafe waiter and waitress including the snacks for five. "Around ten hundred." She took bills from her pocket of her white shorts if in case she asked but Arna turned away.

"So that's a total of fifteen hundred and she helped a person without cheating anywhere. What about you?"

Arsh glanced at Noor who was very uncomfortable looking at his sister being interrogated. She wanted to speak but didn't want to meddle with the friends.

Right after hearing it was fifteen hundred, Naira's complexion brightened again thinking she was high so she won. 

Arna continued hoping by reminding her ways will make Naira think about it and correct it. "A reality show? Really? Did you even think of your reputation if that leaks?"

Naira: "..."

Ivan and Arsh looked at each other. Even though they were expecting Arna to get angry, they felt like it was going out of hand. 

Noor tried to reason for Naira, "Sister Arna, I-"

Arna turned around and reprimanded, "You don't start your sacrificial speech."

Noor: "..."

Ivan looked away to control his laughter.

Naira glanced down at the GPS on her top, looked at Arsh. She couldn't hold back, "You guys tricked me?" She pulled the expensive spy camera attached with the GPS and threw it on the ground before paddling it.

Noor actually guessed it was a spy camera as she had learned about it when she had visited Arsh's so-called game room. She was about to say it's very expensive but Naira broke it off.

Arna's anger was replaced with disbelief. Arsh and Ivan hadn't lied but hid it well. Arna felt glad they hid it was spy camera else she would be still thinking Naira is a good choice for her brother.

"He tricked you?" She asked ironically. "Naira, what's wrong with you? Why do you have to go out of the way to get what you want?" She sounded disappointed.

However Naira shrugged off Arna's hands from her arms while she said, "Snow, don't you think, out of all, you have the last right to ask that question to me?"

Arna froze.

Ivan gritted his teeth while Arsh focused his attention on Arna. It is said that we have to correct our mistakes first before talking sense to others.

Arna took a step back as the past flooded in like it happened yesterday. Her eyes lowered when she felt them wet. "I am sorry." She apologized for getting angry and interrogating her.

Arna took a step back again, she wanted to run away and leave the country soon before she could feel weak and start crying which couldn't be stopped by anybody but her mother.

She turned around with the thought but bumped into the strong broad chest. She knew who it was without looking at the face and knew she could lean on. Ivan wrapped an arm around her while she calmed down without daring to let a tear roll down her cheek.

Noor sensed Arsh's grip suddenly tightening before he remembered holding her arm. Looking at him controlling himself from talking for his sister, Noor stepped up just to clear the thoughts of the present and the past.

"I am sorry if I am speaking at an inappropriate time. I don't know what Sister Arna meant by a Reality show, but Sister Naira, if you compare the present and the past, don't you think Sister Arna tried to correct you instead of supporting the wrong?" 

Even if she didn't know why they were arguing, after hearing Arna say about the reputation and leak, she knew it wasn't something good to be supported. 

Naira grounded her teeth ready to lash out but her gaze caught Arsh adoring the lady and the irritated Ivan smiled at her and Arna slowly calming down.

If she was called evil, she wanted Arna to be one too but she didn't expect her own young sister to speak softly but accurately.

Noor wasn't talking for Arna but wanted to remind Naira that Arna wasn't the one to be apologetic but her. Her words continued, "Whereas, Sister Naira, you are the one who encouraged Sister Arna to run away else her parents will disown her. That's not something you should say to the one who was facing emotional imbalance." 

Ivan rubbed Arna's back hearing her sigh, he whispered, "Why don't you get rid of your weakness? Then none could have brought it up."

Arna pursed her lips and pinched his waist for repeatedly asking her to meet her mother. Ivan controlled from hissing and pulled her away, "Be a lonely ghost." 

Arna felt all her hard work of selling vegetables wasted just by a pinch. Now she wanted to cry for that.

Ivan crossed his arms looking away from the sulking lady, "Naira, there will be weak moments in life. We hope you understand your mistake."

Naira who was feeling like they were all from one world and she was different started crying, "I know I made a mistake, did you guys have to bring it up repeatedly."

Arna who involuntarily wanted to coax Naira was held back by Ivan and Noor ran up to her while Arsh hissed, "Who was the first one to bring up the past? Naira Wood, don't show your acting skills here."

Noor froze just a step away. She and Arna really thought Naira was apologetic and crying. Looking at the two men, who were gentlemen all the time, behaved exactly opposite with Naira, their thoughts wavered. 

However Noor couldn't stop herself and embraced her sister, "Sister, I didn't mean to make you cry. I am sorry, please stop crying."
