Next chapter that is chapter 23 is up on inkitt. Go check it out.

I have noticed less number of votes and reads on past few chapters, no I'm not going to ask you to do it. Instead I wanna know if me being owl for past couple of months has led you to loose your interest or love in ROMIRA?
Please do answer it.

Akira
-------

"Hello, Akira." He doesn't sound a bit surprised, its like he has been waiting for my call.

Maybe he was.

Maybe he went to my grandmother only to rile me up and get an opening to talk.

And I being a fool, fell right into it.

"How dare you to go to my grandmother with all your bullshit!" I seethe at the realization.

"What else should I have done? You didn't want to talk and I had to do something. Our dad is worried about you. I am worried about you."

"Your dad and you should just mind your business." I speak through the clench teeth, I'm starting to get a headache over the force I'm using.

"I'm minding my business because you are my business. You are my sister, whether you like it or not. Ever since I've been told I have little sister and one day I'll meet her, I have been waiting for that day desperately. Every Christmas I'd ask dad to bring her for my present, because I wanted my sister to live with me, to play with me.

"I wanted to be her big brother and take care of her but every time dad would say 'soon'. When I got older I took it in my hand to find her but dad knew it and he was always tight lipped about her. It was not until she chose Yale only then dad decided to reveal her. When I finally get meet her, she doesn't want to do anything with me, infact she hates me for some reason I don't even know. How am I supposed to feel? I know you hate dad because you blame him for you family-"

I interrupt, not able to take it anymore, "I don't hate you or your dad. I don't blame him either."

Liar

Okay, yes. A part of me, a very tiny irrational part, blames him, the same part that blames me equally for the same.

I know it's stupid but that part belongs to a ten year old Akira who had witnessed her family's death in front of her eyes and she has stayed close to this part even when she grew up.

But I still get him.

Damon Ross is right to want a relationship with his sister but Akira is not ready to be a sister.

And I remember grandma's words. I'm an adult now and I must make my decisions like one too. I shouldn't let my emotions or past dictate my present.

"Then give us a chance. Please.. We all really want to be part of your life."

"Um..I...I'm-"

"Just think about it. I will wait for your answer, whenever you are ready."

"Okay, I will think about it but I need something from you."

"Anything." His response is immediate.

"I want you stop having me followed around."

"But-"
