It's been a week since that incident took place, and right now Aaira is lying on her bed, thinking of nothing but her ex. She wonders what time it is, so she grabs her phone and sees it's 3 am in the morning. Suddenly, her eyes catch her home screen, which still has his picture on it. She smiles at it, but some tears escape her eyes.

She opens her phone, dials his number, and sees his display picture: he's smiling with his new girlfriend. She smiles too. No matter how much this hurts her, she still has that soft corner for him. Her heart still beats for him, no matter what. She always feels like she should just go and knock on his door, hug him tightly, and say, "I can't live without you. Don't you feel the same? Doesn't your heart beat the way mine does for you? Don't you still love me?" She always wants to go to him and confess how much she missed him in the past six months, but all she can do is nothing.

She was lying on her bed, contemplating what to do next on this Saturday night with no work. Then, she remembered she had a sister who was so busy with her husband that she had forgotten about her. She thought of calling her, but then she realized it was already 3 am and Scarlet must be sleeping. However, she then realized Scarlett was probably gaming by now. So, she decided to video call her.

After a few rings, Scarlett picked up the phone. She was in her gaming room, leaning back in her gaming chair with a controller in her hands. She smiled at the screen and said:

Scarlett:"So, Stark Aaira remembers she has a sister too, whom she hasn't contacted for a long time now

Aaira:
"I thought you must be busy after your marriage."

Scarlett:
"I'm never too busy for you. Tell me, how's everything going?"

Aaira:
"Everything is going well."

Scarlett:
"Why are you still awake?"

Aaira:
"I was watching a horror movie. But why are you still awake?"
