The Girl of Rhein
Something Difficult

They still talk about who will look after Orlaf because Hazel insists on keeping Orlaf, but Mommy Kei wants her alone because Hazel has to go to college tomorrow.

"Rhein, is there something between you and Hazel?" Nala approached Rhein who was standing a little away from her family.

Rhine just stared flatly at Nala. "What you see is not Nala's fault."

"Oh God! Is the girl you told me about Hazel?"

"That's it," said Rhein lirih.

That night Orlaf was taken care of by Hazel. And Rhine?

Rhine asks to take care of Orlaf because she is not willing if Hazel is alone with Orlaf.

"You really want to keep Orlaf?"

"Yes, Ma, let me and Hazel take care of Orlaf."

"Then mommy and Daddy come home first, tomorrow morning I'll come here to bring you a change of clothes and breakfast."

The four of them are allowed to go home. In the car Akira looks curious at his wife.

"What did you say to Rhine? Why do I feel like today you keep watching my sister? Is there any sign of Rhine?"

"Hem! Don't start, honey. I feel sorry for my sister-in-law."

"Pity why? He is not to be pitied, to be pitied are the women who are always being played by the Rhine."

"The love story of a few years ago seems to be repeating itself, dear."

"What do you mean?"

"If I talk, do you want to be able to keep it a secret?"

Akira immediately took a serious look at his wife. "What happened between you and Rhine?"

"It wasn't me and Rhine, it was Hazel and Rhine."

"What's? Hazel and Rhine?" Nala nodded her head slowly. "You mean them-?"

"Yes. Rhein once told me about the girl he had hurt when he was his servant in his apartment he was overseas."

"Pe-servant? Hazel was Rhine's servant?"

"Oh my God! Why is it like this? Isn't Hazel Orlaf's fiancee?"

"That's what made me kill Rhine. Hazel and Rhine love each other, but the girl feels indebted to both of your parents, and with Orlaf, she feels Orlaf was very kind to her during her time there. Maybe that's why Hazel's getting engaged to Orlaf."

"Why is the love story repeated again. I used to love you, and now with Orlaf, but now Hazel loves Rhine."

"Why does the child have such a complicated love story? Is this perhaps the karma he has to accept as a result of playing so much with a woman's heart?"

"Don't talk like that about your sister, Akira. He wanted to completely stop messing around with those women, but instead he got something like this."

Their car had reached the front of the house, but neither Akira nor Nala got off the car.

"Did I tell Mommy and Daddy about what happened between Rhine and Hazel?"

"Don't, Honey. I'm telling you this so you know. We better not interfere in their affairs."

"If I help them, Rhine can marry Hazel immediately, and no one bothers us."

"Oh God! Akira, although Rhine is not married to anyone. I'm just yours." Nala landed her quick kiss on her husband's lips.

"I know." Akira pulls Nala's hand and she kisses Nala back."

***

In the sick room. Rhine goes to the cafeteria to buy drinks for him and Hazel.

Actually, he just wanted to avoid seeing his sister who was lying on a hospital bed, but instead invited Hazel to make out with Hazel's hand, of course it made Rhein could not bear to see it.

"What do you want to buy, sir?"

"Is there a drink like whiskey or red wine?"

"What's? Sorry, sir, we don't sell drinks like that here. You're okay, right, sir?"

Rhein wrinkled his brows. "Do you really think I'm sick?"

"Yes, I guess you're sick of suddenly asking for a drink that's definitely not going to be in this place."

Rhein realized that what he wanted did not make sense. Rehein bought hot coffee and sat alone in the cafeteria.
