(Arata)
Karsten safely tucked me in and left the room to give me privacy so I could speak to my family. He briefed me on what he had told Baba while he carried me upstairs.
Mostly it was because he wished to save his neck, but I had to be strong while speaking to my family.
Any distress on my part, and they would suspect something was wrong with me. So I locked away all of my emotions and hit the button for a video call.
As if waiting for my call, Baba picked up instantly. Mom was with him. Their worried faces came into view.
"Hey! Our beautiful girl, how are you? What happened?" Baba worriedly asked.
"Are you okay? You want us to come get you?" Mom seemed worried, too, I could tell by the number of creases that had decorated her forehead.
I willfully smiled. "I am fine, it's just a little sprain. I shouldn't have worn heels to the office, but you guys know how I love them." I tried to play it cool and acted like it wasn't a big deal.
