Ali

Your brother answered the phone and Ali wrote to you.
-Little one, is your brother home?
When I saw the message from him, I started jumping for joy.
-Yes, why?

Ali is my brother's best friend. He's been a part of my life for many years. He often comes to our house, spends time with my brother, laughs, tells stories, and always treats me like a little sister.

But there is one problem - I have been in love with him for two years now.

He knows nothing about my feelings. To him, I'm just his best friend's sister, someone to protect and take care of. And I try to hide my excitement every time I see him or receive a message from him.

I understand that there is nothing between us. Perhaps there never will be. But sometimes I wonder what would have happened if he had one day looked at me differently.

And it all started with a simple message from Ali...
