I tried to sleep but I couldn't..so I finally decided to get up and drink a glass of water ..I walked toward the kitchen.. while passing Daniel's room I heard him talking to Lukas..actually it was an argument

+Seriously Daniel?!! But you said you never do such a thing!! How did you turn into this?!

-Lower your voice !! You will wake Veronica!

+Is this the problem we have now?!

-We don't have a problem ! You are making it a big deal! I was like this from the beginning and I'm not changed at all!

+Hah! I have nothing say ! As you think what you have done is reasonable! I thought you're not the type of person who get his hands dirty for money , Daniel!!

What is this all about..? What has Daniel been doing that it makes Lukas this angry..?

I hear some foot steps ..I have to hide ...

Lukas opens the door aggressively and leaves the room.. Sure thing he didn't see me..

After a while Daniel closes the door ..

I guess now I can head to the kitchen..

According to what Lukas was saying my brother doesn't seem to be a good person.. ..Mmm..I should get to the bottom of this later..

I arrive at the kitchen..I poor a glass of water and drink it ..I turn around and see Daniel behind me..

+Gosh! Why are you standing behind me silently? You scared me brother..

I should pretend that I was not there when they were talking ...cause as it seems he is suspicious about it ..

- *laughs pretentiously* What do you mean ? I came here just now..

Hah.. he thinks I believe in what his says.. although I don't but I have to play along for now.. it's not like before for me.. I don't have the feeling I used have toward my brother.. all the good feelings including love..missing..and so on..I don't know why but what Lukas said when he was in Daniel's room influenced me more than it should..he said he has changed.. he said he is doing dirty things for money .. that's not the image I used to have about my brother.. In the past when I missed him every night sleeping alone in my house I had an image of someone caring .. considerate ... with sincere brotherhood feelings toward me .. but who I see now is an stranger to my eyes.. a successful businessman that is always trying to get more and more wealthy.. but I still can't say I don't care for him and that I feel numb toward him..his my brother after all..I'm sure he cares about me too but he doesn't show it.. maybe he doesn't expose his emotions..but he is soft inside.... Damn .. the contrast in my mind bothers me so much.. I'm over thinking again.. it feels shit..but I don't know what to do about it.. As long as the thought enters my mind ...I can't stop thinking..

-Veronica..? *looks at her with thoughtful gesture*

+ I-I was drowned in my thoughts sorry.. what did you say just now..?

-I said I'm leaving..

+Aha.. ok .. bye

Wait a minute ..

+So.. why did you come here at the first place..

- *sweats* I.. well,..I was..Amm...I wanted to go to the bathroom..and I saw the lights of the kitchen are on .. so I decided to check on here.. yea.. that's it..

Hmmm...I caught you with your pants off bro.. *laughs inside her mind*

+Mhm.. ok..I'm going to my room..

-Fine..

I go to my room and lay on my bed..
I can't fall asleep so I decide to read..a book..

It's 5 A.M. and I can't still fall asleep.. what's wrong with me..? Maybe my mind is so busy..
.
.
.
Now it's 8 A.M. ...someone is knocking on the door.. I'm really tired now.. since I couldn't sleep last night.. To my surprise..it is Daniel..

+Hi..?

-Hi.. I just came here to check on you.. since you are awake ..come ,the breakfast is ready..

+Ok..I'll come..

-fine...so I'm leaving..

He didn't check on me in the past few days .. What brings him here..? I'm really sick of these thoughts..

I walk to the living room..and sit at the table.. it's just me and Daniel..why isn't Lukas coming..?
Where is he..?
May I ask Daniel..?
No I guess it's better that I go and check on him later... Yea..

There is and awkward silence between us.. and Daniel's gaze on me makes the atmosphere worse than it is.. why is he gazing at me.. it's bothering me..

+Do you have anything to say?

-what. ..? No no .

+So why are you looking at me .. it's like you're about to say something but you can't..

-well ..I wanted to ask that.. Have you talked to Lukas since last night..?

Why is he asking ..? And it's normal to talk to him so why is he asking such a question..?
Let me see what is he up to .

+Why are you asking ..?

-just casually.. nothing important.

I'd better answer him in order to not rise any suspicion..

+No .. I haven't.

I can realize that he is relieved after hearing this .. but why..

-Mhm..

After the breakfast is over I go to search for Lukas.. to see where he is and why he didn't come for breakfast..

I search everywhere but I don't find him ... Maybe he is not home... Who can I ask about him ? .. I mean except my brother...

Maybe the guards..or maybe his driver.. but since he is not home .. the driver is not here either..

should I asked the guards.. ? But they work for Daniel.. maybr I should just wait here for him to return.. While I'm thinking about these things I see him in the garden..he is back..why that makes me happy..?

I go to the garden..

+Hi,..

-Hi..Is anything wrong..

+No..no.. I just wanted to ask that..Is everything okay between you two?

I shouldn't have asked that ... That was dumb..Damn..
