บท 473: Kyle (II)

[You sound pretty happy, brother]

Kyle's hands paused for a while and he resumed stacking the shelves, the ghost of a smile still on his face.

[Yeah, thought of a few things. Met Lianne today. She called me 'Abang']

[How are you?] Kay asked worriedly, as she sat up on her bed in her room, worried for her brother's mental health. Even though he was humming (even mentally), it may be hiding something darker underneath.

Also, it was strange that he had met his kids today, since it was a public holiday in Country M. It had been Diwali on Sunday, which meant that the holiday was replaced on a Monday.

[I'm fine] Kyle replied [In fact, better than fine. I was just thinking that I can be in contact with my kids, so long as I don't meet myself. Or be interesting or dangerous enough to warrant them to talk to me about it]

[That sounded confusing but made sense at the same time] Kay replied wryly [Do you think that's a good idea, though?]
