Brother, I Love You
LILACS

"Ngh."

There was the whimpering sound of a blonde-blonde girl poking out behind the blanket that wrapped her body. Something is different this morning. Someone accompanied him to sleep in one bed last night.

Behind the blanket, poking out his blonde mane mixed with someone else's dark brown mane. Ah, rather it is the mane of two sons of Adam who are in the land of Kasmaran.

Bella Aberald, who was none other than the blonde-blonde girl whose blue eyes were as beautiful as the ocean had awakened from her sleep. And the one who welcomed his morning for the first time was, he felt his body as if it had been hit by a heavy object many miles. Some are asleep while hugging him possessive, it turns out. And also their faces were so very close, because of the position they were facing. Only, the blonde girl's head was close to the man's chest next to her, where the arm of the man holding her tightly in his sleep was used instead of a pillow.

Ahhh... How beautiful the world is in taste. When he felt the thump of love that so melodious..

As Bella blushed her cheeks in embarrassment while refraining from smiling, her heartbeat began to beat faster when she realized that her position was so intense. His face was so close to his field chest that it featured Alfred's small nipple arising from behind his tight sleeveless black shirt. The man's chest was quite hard and muscular, don't forget his checkered stomach can also be felt by the girl.

Bella looked up at the face of the man who was none other than Alfred Frederick. Just a little bit of Bella began to make a movement, and subconsciously woke Alfred to sleep. Or...that man actually woke up earlier, and right now he's just pretending to be asleep? I don't know. Only God and Alfred know.

As Alfred's eyelids began to slowly open, a gasp-filled Bella stared at Alfred with perfectly rounded eyes. Alfred blinked his eyes sore, before finally getting used to the light from the sun, Bella grinned.

"Hehe..... Morning from Al. Hehe..." Alfred chuckled lazily still feeling sleepy.

"Morning.." replied the man weakly with a characteristic hoarse voice of waking up. But who knows, that it turns out that the man just skipped around and closed his eyes again, sleeping. Bella speechless instantly.

He slowly raised his right hand to reach Alfred's face. He wanted to always caress the cheeks of his brother who did not wear glasses while sleeping like now. Bella recalled the incident between them yesterday afternoon with a smile.

Flashback..

After soaking for almost 4 hours in a hot tub, Bella felt that the temperature in her room had become so cold. Is it because of the effect of soaking too long in a hot pool, so feeling cold? Her thought.

The girl was now in an inn room rented by Alfred. Given Alfred did not want to return quickly to his home occupied by Ramon, he said, the man chose the option by going on vacation to a hot spring and lodging for a night not far from the city where Ramon lived by traveling for one hour.

Bella is now in the inn room alone, still wearing a bath kimono that has been provided by the inn. Alfred was lucky to get a VIP room with a hot pool in one room still available at the time, so Alfred did not have to move from the public hot spring to the public lodging rooms available to public tourists. It was chosen by Alfred because he did not want his sister to be in one room with others while bathing or walking in the corridor with many men who might be scattered.

Tap Tap Tap... Chequek!

The door to the room is open. Featuring the figure of Alfred who is also still wearing his bath kimono with someone who is carrying a tray.

"Put it there." Said the man pointing at a table not far from the corner of the room close to the window of his room.

The woman wearing the neat uniform turned out to be a servant. Which delivers a pot of hot tea that still reflects hot steam. After the maid left, Bella approached Alfred and sat on a bench connected to the window.

"Emm, hey brother."

"Hmm?" Alfred muttered as he poured the hot tea on a special small cup of tea and gave it to Bella who looked shivering from the cold.

"Can we stay with Ramon's brother and Nicky's brother again someday, brother?" Bella asked expectantly.

"of course. You said you wanted to stay in that house, right?" Alfred looked at the girl with a smile.

"Hum, hum.." Nod Bella, enthusiastic. His eyes sparkled with interest.

"We can stay in that house whenever you like. Because it's our home."

"Eh?!" Bella gasps. "Our house? What does big brother mean?" The girl asked for an explanation.

"The house belongs to Thomas' sister, Bella. Your papa. But after your father died, I chose to migrate to Washington City and seek education and a job that earned us a fair amount of money. In addition to financing both of us, you also have to go to school if you want to have a decent job, right?" Alfred Obviously. He turned his eyes outside. Staring at the sky that began to twilight while sipping hot tea. "Ramon and Nicky used to ask my sister to find a place to live when four years ago. Since our previous tenant had moved out, sister asked him to take care of our house only. So that someday when we get back, the house is there to take care of as we want."

Bella began to understand. "Given that you love plants and love gardening, I purposely asked Nicky to plant plants that are similar to what you like. Especially in the front yard of the house that still has the rest of the empty space." Its effects.

"You know, Bell. Almost all the plants in the house were the result of gardening that your mother and father did when they were alive. Brother just added three types of flowers that you planted in the Washington apartment." Clearly again.

"So, mommy likes gardening too?" Alfred nodded.

Bella flinched with her own thoughts while smiling. The girl imagined how her mommy who was gardening with her father. Haifa... If only they were still there and next to him. Just thinking about it makes the girl happy.

Alfred did not know what the girl was thinking. But he chose to ignore the girl and chose to enjoy a cup of hot tea in his cup with a delicious feeling.

**********

The night is getting late. The sky has become dark. And it's time to roll yourself over the bed.

Inside the inn room ordered by Alfred, the room had one bed with a king size. In front of the bed, there was an armless sofa made of soft foam as a relaxing place close to the window of their inn room.

At first, he thought ordering one wasn't a problem for those who were indeed just a big brother with a sister. Alfred could also sleep on a special sofa to sleep on and his own bed for Bella. It's definitely not going to be awkward, is it?

But now, when she finds out how Bella feels about her, she can't guarantee her brother's safety.

She is afraid of his release and cannot control herself not to touch Bella because she is in the same room. And again, he remembered very clearly what Thomas had said first. Even though he is 10 years old. But he could already understand the meaning of Bella's special. Remembering Thomas always reminds her to keep Bella from the men who have bad intentions towards her sister. No exception of course himself.

Haifa.. If I remember again, he was so sad. He was told to keep and keep Bella away from irresponsible men, but he himself was precisely on the lookout. And high risk of being tempted. Haha... Isn't that so funny? (ulo△ ̄;)

And again, why would he bother to keep his distance? Can't he rent another room? Too wasteful he thought. One room can be used for a few people. A tickle? Nope.

Not stingy. Alfred did that because he was still conscious, a lot of things depended on money. If he continues to spend large amounts of money, but a little income will have a bad impact on his future life. Moreover, Bella still needs a lot of money for the entrance fee later.

Bella who had just entered their room frowned to find her brother who had positioned to sleep on the sleeping sofa close to their bedroom window. He bent his face disappointed.

"Why?" Crap Bella, suddenly.

"uh? What's up, Bell? Is there anything you need?" Alfred who had not really slept turned his head towards his sister with a puzzled look.

"Why brother?" Bella asked again, still unclear. But the look in his eyes looked straight at the sofa Alfred was sitting on with hurt and disappointment.

Alfred rose from his sleep and fell silent. Staring fixed Bella looking for the purpose of her sister's confusing speech. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the disappointed look in the eyes of the girl who was paying attention to the sofa he was sitting on. For a moment he scratched his temple feeling guilty. It was wrong. Haifa..

Sighing slowly, he smiled understandingly. "Come here." His order. And Bella approached Alfred, according to. He sat next to the man with his eyes down unwilling to look at his brother.

"Sister can no longer sleep next to you anymore. Brother is afraid that brother" his words hang. Ah, now it's even wrong. Confused what to answer.

Bella looked up at Alfred still with a look of injured eyes. Alfred was wrong. Gosh darn.. Wrong again. "aa.. Eemm... Ahem, this is Bella. Mean sister.. You're a girl, and big brother's a boy."

"I don't care. Bella just wants to sleep as usual. Is it because Bella already knows that you're not my real sister, and then you sleep like that?" Rajuk Bella, refute. He even whined. Featuring his flagship puppy eyes in front of Alfred. He knew his brother would only melt with that one.

Haifa.. Ordeal. I hope I don't leave later. Alfred's frustration.

"alright. We sleep as usual." Bella squealed with bright sparkling eyes. The manager finally succeeded. The girl did not even realize that she had jumped almost falling when she hit Alfred to hug him.

"aa... Woo.. Be-Bella!! Watch out, it could fall later." Pekek Alfred, holding Bella's body that was wrung spoiled around his neck.

"I love you, brother. Thank you." Thank you." Bella Excited. The girl laughed happily at his typical grin. Making Alfred sigh resignedly look at him before joining in smiling with a light nudity.

'Heaven.. Holy wow.'

Silent.

Alfred then lifted his sister's light body like holding a princess, he walked towards the bed and lay Bella's body there.

"It's time for Bella's beautiful daughter to sleep." Once ready, Alfred pulled out a blanket to cover the girl's body. Then it turns in the other direction of the bed and rises on it.

Bella watched Alfred who walked up to her bed with a smile and a red tinge on her cheek with a happy feeling. After the man entered the blanket, Bella tilted her body to face the lria, rubbing the side of her head with her palms. The girl did not blink at all when staring at Alfred intensely, making the man aware of his sister's different behavior.

Alfred smiled faintly, thrusting his body deeper into the blanket then gesturing for the blonde girl to approach him.

Bella smiled more and more, then shifted her body to get closer. In the next instant, Alfred straightened his left arm over Bella's head and moved the girl's head over her sturdy biceps. Alfred pulled Bella's body closer before she grabbed her sister's body into his arms.

"Sleep. We're going back to Washington tomorrow." Alfred's orders. The man only dyed Bella's crown while stroking gently full of cradles on the mane of his dear sister. The other hand, patting Bella's back shoulder as if guiding the girl to sleep immediately.

"So, you also have to sleep." Bella's great-grandson with eyes that have begun to wilt because of drowsiness. Alfred could do what if his sister was really spoiled for him.

The man smiled faintly and nodded, making Bella even happier and pulling herself up into the blanket.

Alfred hugged Bella even more into his arms. Occasionally kiss the head of his sister repeatedly.

Bella raised her head to look at Alfred confusedly. And was countered by the look in the man's obsidian eyes as if asking 'what is it?' Bella just shook her head. Moving a little to a little upwards aligns their faces. Until they make a warm breath they blend their faces with each other. And without speaking, he immediately kissed Alfred's lips gently. He even closed his eyes. With his heart beating so hard it was so pleasant.

Alfred glared in disbelief. God, why is his faith tempted? Bella, you're my toughest ordeal right now. Inner Alfred nelangsa. He rubbed his face rough when Bella had already removed her lips. He should be able to control his libido as much as possible if he was close to that naughty blonde girl right now.

The unexpected finally happened. Bella is really testing her faith right now.

Bella bravely brought her face back closer. This time, the girl kissed Alfred's eyes, both cheeks, his nose, and lastly the man's forehead with a slight aggression.

Surprised by the action arrived - arrived done by Bella, his eyes widened perfectly to receive the unexpected treatment of the blonde girl. But the next second, whatever was pushing him, Alfred wrapped one hand around Bella's waist, returning the blonde girl's embrace. And also reciprocates Bella's delicate and intoxicating treatment. Bella closed her eyes and enjoyed every treatment Alfred so missed.

The turmoil in his body could not be stopped so easily. He really wants Bella now to be in her dominion. But...

When Alfred was nearing his sister's lips, his logic reawakened. Her.. Can't do this. Bella is underage. He's 13 years old. He couldn't do anything profane to his innocent sister.

"Emmm... Sleep now. It's night." said Alfred, deciding to stop his curse.

But Bella's expression suddenly scooped up when her brother's lips did not touch her as he had hoped.

"Sleep Naru. I'm going to the bathroom for a minute." And fortunately Bella nodded in agreement despite feeling a little unwilling. It made Alfred could only smile blandly at him. In his heart he sighed in relief because he could still control his libido. Although in the bathroom he had to resort to his ritual for release.

Huh-ah.. Fate, Fate.

Flashback...

"Are you satisfied looking at your brother's face, huh?" Knock Alfred without opening his eyes.

"Huh?!" Bella flinched and moved her fingers that still touched Alfred's face with a huff. Make the owner have a face bristled because amused.

Grep!!

Alfred immediately held Bella's right hand finger. Grasping it tightly and slowly opening his closed obsidian eyes.

The blush!!

Bella's face immediately felt hot and turned crimson. Both of the girls ears burned with nervousness and embarrassment.

"Pardon Bella, brother. Bellas..." Tukas the girl was stupefied by groggy.

"Hm.. It'sit's okay. You can do whatever you like, Bella." Said Alfred while sticking Bella's fingers that he held back to touch his face.

"Uh-i-iya, brother. Hehe..."

Alfred snorted amusedly at Bella's timid behavior which to him was really funny.

"We take a shower, now. We should go home, right? We're back in school tomorrow, too."

After returning to the home of the late Thomas and Adelina, where Ramon and Nicky were staying, Alfred and Bella immediately said goodbye to the two. Afterwards, they headed straight back to Washington.

On the way home, Bella did not take off her coiled hand in Alfred's stomach at all. Ignoring the stares of other drivers. As the saying goes, the world seems to belong to both.

*********

Joanna kept hoping that the address they were going to actually indicated that her only son was there.

Hans seemed relaxed in the taxi while enjoying the greenery scenery that lay around them.

"It's no wonder the boy will stay here. Haha.." she laughed softly. Joanna glanced at her husband with a smile.

Not only Hans can feel comfortable living in Wyoming. He also felt the effects even though he was still in the taxi.

"Is he really married? Hans, the detective you hired won't misidentify people, will he?"

"Of course not. How can you think so shallow? Hmph.." Hans chuckles.

"just... My feelings are not good. And my hunch was suddenly not good." said Yoana, agitated. Hans glanced at Yoana meaningfully. But he didn't say anything.

It has been several years since she said she would check the files on her son first and confirm, Yoana somehow just sits still and tends to be like a person with severe depression.

His wife just sat quietly like a dead man, her soul dead but her body still alive.

Hans was very well acquainted with the person of his wife who was actually very energetic. That woman was the toughest woman he had ever known. Joanna has a body like a martial artist because she has snatched a black belt.

No man is able and willing to approach the woman because of her profession as a martial athlete. Joanna was feared by everyone because of her dexterity in practicing taekwondo movements. Not only taekwondo, Yoana does not even hesitate to learn all kinds of martial arts such as wushu, and karate.

He even madly introduced himself and said his true intentions to Joanna at the time. Who knew that Joanna would reject him firmly in one word.

However, it was not Aberald's family name if he could not get Joanna. Although she had to be willing to become the real samsak of the woman whenever Joanna would practice. And even though it resulted in him being treated in the hospital, he still would not give up.

As a result, of course. Results will not betray his efforts.

Joanna, who had a heart as hard as a rock, that would never melt just because a man expressed love for her, finally melted her heart to Hans.

Moreover, Joanna was a previously very free person. That made him young. I don't know what the secret of the woman to be able to always look beautiful and young even without makeup though.

He was a twenty-five-year-old man when he came to know Joanna, who was nineteen.

But after they married and lived a married life together for nearly fifteen years, Hans felt a little sad. At the age of forty, he looks quite old with many thin wrinkles on his face, especially in the eyes. However, Joanna was not. At that time, Joanna was thirty-four years old and her face still looked young like an ABG.

Things that Hans could not understand and he found the answer. In fact, even though they had lived in one roof, Hans did not understand at all with some of the products used by his wife. On the dresser belonging to Joanna there are only a few beauty tools that for her have been used to seeing when she was young. Even expensive beauty tools, he did not see it from the wife at all. Never mind expensive makeup tools, Yoana asked him to deliver to the salon was never.

What is the secret of his beautiful young wife?

Sometimes it makes him less. Two were already old wrinkled, his wife still looked very tight. No wonder all his business clients always ridicule him pedophile. A man who married an underage woman. Haifa... In fact, their age is only six years and not a dozen years. Holy hooch!

But right now, unnoticed by Joanna, Hans could see a thin wrinkled line under his eyes even though it was faint at his age of fifty-plus. Perhaps, due to the effects of prolonged stress to cause thin wrinkles to appear on the surface of the woman's face gradually.

An hour and a half later, the taxi they were riding began to slow down and stopped on a small street right in front of a tiny house with a spacious courtyard filled with greenery.

"It... Thomas's place?" said Joanna, doubtful. He looked at the house with mixed thoughts.

Actually, he didn't think the house was bad. Even the tiny house looks very comfortable and peaceful family nuances can be seen. If she was young and lived alone with Hans after getting married in this kind of house, it was obvious that the memories they could never be forgotten.

"Come on. We're looking for the answer."

Joanna did not reply, and just walked with Hans to the house.

When the two almost reached the house, the door of the tiny house opened and displayed a long-spanned figure straight out. Joanna and Hans stopped their hesitant steps.

"Ramon, I go to the market first."

"Alright, be careful on the road!" voice a man with a voice calling out.

Nicky, the long-spirited young man turned his body and in his three steps, he suddenly stopped him when he saw Yoana and Hans standing staring at him intensely.

Nicky's smile faded. Doubtfully, Nicky looked at the two confusedly, then glanced at his residence at a glance before the young man walked back with a friendly smile approaching the two.

"Eehh...excuse me anything I can help you with, sir, madam? Is there someone you're looking for?" nicky said, as warm as possible.

"Thomas. Is this really Thomas Aberald's house?"

Nicky gasp. But secelat maybe he controls his attitude. "Oh, come in first, sir. Let's madam."

Inevitably, Nicky-pun back into the house where he lived.

When he heard the sound of the door reopening, Ramon frowned in confusion before he moved out of his place to see who was coming.

"Nicky, why are you coming home"

"Please sit down, ma'am. Let me get you a drink." Nicky turned around, as he was about to step in, right in front of him was Ramon who was looking at him in confusion and then glancing behind his back, looking at him, where in the living room was Hans and Yoana who were also looking at him curiously.

"So sir, I stay first" said Nicky, again. "Let's go in first. I'll tell you later." whispered the young man encouraging Ramon to come back in.

While they were in the kitchen, Ramon looked back at Nicky for an explanation. "I don't know who they are. But they were looking for Mr. Thomas, the original owner of this house." the young man said, taking a cup and making tea for four cups.

Ramon began to understand. Jesus, Alfred just got back to Washington. If only the man would stay for a few more hours.

Without a word, Ramon helps Nicky to bring a tray of tea and snacks and then follows Nicky from behind back to the living room.

On the other hand, Hans and Joanna accidentally see a picture of Thomas smiling broadly hugging a woman in a long red bow with a baby in their midst. Among them, there was a dark brown unraveling boy with a cold expression.

Joanna is stunned to see the portrait, until Nicky and Ramon reappear between them. Nicky smiled amiably, putting two cups onto both of them on the table while their own still remained on the tray.

"Please drink your tea first, sir."

Hans sat back down and took the tea that was served to him, ignoring Joanna who was still at home staring at the old portrait of Thomas.

Nicky glanced at Yoana at the portrait, "That's a picture of Mr. Aberald's family a few dozen years ago."

Hearing Nicky's explanation, Yoana turned her head to look at Nicky as if asking the young man to explain. "I don't really understand their families. But...."

"Sorry sir, before. I hear you're looking for Mr Thomas the owner of this house?"

"Yes, right. Is this really his residence?" hans answered, asking.

"really. Actually I can't say this to you. I have no right." Hans and Yoana glanced at each other with a clueless nag. "But it seems that this is necessary. Before that, I wanted to introduce myself as Ramon. And this is my brother Nicky."

Ramon then tells some truth about Thomas and Adelina's family that he knew little about from Alfred's mouth before.

Hearing the truth from their lips, Joanna could not stem her guilt all this time. And the next second, the tears that had never again come out finally broke.

Bella ran with carefree steps along the corridors of her school this morning. He wanted to tell his best friend Ken everything. Three days he did not meet his dog lover's friend and it feels, he misses him a little.

Students who were along the corridor also noticed Bella was full of interest and envy. It was as if there was something interesting on the face of the blonde girl to notice at any moment.

Meanwhile, Ken who was in the middle of the row sighs upset in class caused by Sam, his childhood friend who did not want to teach him to do homework assignments Mathematics lessons.

"Come, Sam. Help me~ I don't want to get punished again from Mr. Alfred." Rengek Ken wiggled Sam's body which kept on yawning and slumped his face on the table, ignoring Ken who continued to whine and chose to cover his ears.

"Hoaamm-chan.. Inconveniencing. You can ask Bella for help, right? He's also good at math."

"Yes if he comes. If not?" Elak Ken's. He was not sure if his best friend was leaving or not. Till....

"Good morning, everybody!! Bella's here!" The girl screamed suddenly at the doorstep of her class. Not forgetting his wide grin that was imprinted so clearly on his face. It made all his classmates fascinated for the umpteenth time every time the girl appeared.

Ken immediately turned to look at Bella with sparkling eyes. His face was also moved back. Not expecting her best friend Bella to finally leave too.

"Y...!! You finally left too. Hix.. Hicks.." Ken ran over to Bella with a bit of drama and hugged the girl tightly. Finally, his savior came as well.

"Eh?!" Bella Sweatdrop looks at the sudden absurdity of her best friend. "You why Ken?" Ask Bella.

Ken looked down at Bella who was shorter than him with his puppy style. "I haven't done math, Bell. Can. Helping me.?" Pinta Ken showed her mainstay puppy eyes face that looked like she wanted to be scratched.

Bella smiled clumsyly. Feeling bad. She's been banned by her brother from cheating on Ken. Seeing Bella's clumsy mimic, Ken begins to understand. "Let's just calm Bell. You just teach me."

"Eh?" Bella gasped for a moment, staring at Ken. Didn't expect him to hear the word taboo coming out of Ken's lips.

"All right."

Just as Bella was about to open her voice to tell a story, suddenly a heavy voice called out her name.

"Edward's? What's up?" Bella asked with a confused frown at the figure of the emo-spirited youth whom she had rarely met lately.

"Follow me a minute." Edward answered almost like a whisper.

Bella frowned, tumbens once. Think Bella. But in the end the girl complied as well. He followed Edward who had gone before him with a still wondering mind. What made Edward ask her to come with him all of a sudden like this? Especially at this early hour. The first lesson has not yet come in.

Edward continued to walk upstairs to the rooftops. The girl could guess that their goal was the roof of the school. The girl gulped dry saliva, when she suddenly felt that her body was starting to fidget.

Kreeys...

The sound of the roof door squeaking. Indicates that the door hinge was never given lubricating oil.

When the door closed, Bella stopped her way. Staring fixed Edward's back that was still running straight towards the dividing wire. Edward was silent for a moment. He looked up at the sky while sighing heavily trying to brave himself and neutralize his heart thump from nervousness.

After he was ready, the young man turned around and dragged his feet back to approach Bella. Staring at the sapphire iris belonging to the blonde girl was intense as if wondering.

Edward breathed a heavy breath. Bella's eyes became more intense.

"Bella Aberald's. I love you."
