In Chapter 9 of "Veldiep", Tim Muller attempts to distract himself from his heartbreak by spending time with his sister, Marli, who is engrossed in John Green's novel 'The Fault In Our Stars'. After their banter about the book, Tim prompts Marli to go to the shopping mall with him, slightly lightening the mood. However, at the mall, they bump into Chantel, a classmate from high school, and member of the model school that Marli is much interested in. Despite Chantel's advances and Marli's encouragement, Tim pulls away, wary of her blatant show-offs about their family's wealth and her inappropriate comment about Marli's weight. Pulling Marli away, they head towards a restaurant, where Marli stops to admire a top in a clothing store. Disapproving of its revealing quality, Tim advises Marli to ignore Chantel's comment about her physique and urges her towards the restaurant. Once seated, Marli carefully brings up Jessica and Tim's break-up, inadvertently causing Tim's heartache to resurface. Seeing his pain, Marli orders two chocolate milkshakes and slices of chocolate cake, in an attempt to cheer Tim up. The chapter overall delves into the sibling relationship between Tim and Marli, and their interactions with Chantel, providing insight into the divide between them due to socioeconomic differences, the importance of body image issues, and the significant impact of Tim's broken relationship with Jessica.
