Brother, I Love You
Yes, I Do..!!

'**Beautiful dress for a beautiful girl like you. :)

Bella, if you accept the wedding that came today from me, come to the National Cathedral at 9 this morning.

Until you come, I'll wait for you there. And you take it easy, there's already someone coming to pick you up in front of the house

Bella, happy nineteen year old birthday**.'

Bella was shocked when she found a black box with a ribbon of white flowers on the box cover right on her bedroom table.

And when he opened the box, he was astonished to see the contents inside. Bella smothered her lips in disbelief at what she saw. Merely, she was not sure what was inside there other than a simple yet elegant dress.

There's a note on top of that white dress. He opened it slowly, read it slowly and was increasingly surprised.

Bella takes a white dress inside a box made of white satin. The dress was really a wedding dress. It's just, it has a knee-length model. It was only along the knees and arms three quarters. Veils elbow was not too long for him. Some colored jewelry is in tune as complementary accessories. And do not forget a pair of plain white flatshoes with floral decoration of brocade cloth and some pearl beads. Alfred deliberately chose Bella flatshoes so as not to be too bothered.

Although the girl was able to wear a stiletto, but considering that the man was not beside the girl, Alfred undo his intentions.

Tok Tok Tok...

The sound of knocking on the door in front of the house spread Bella's daydream and turned to her room door. The girl rushed out to see who had come to visit in the early morning.

"Hey!" Liliana greeted with a warm smile. He waved his hand as the door opened. Bella gasped when she saw Liliana in front of her house. And appearance...

"That's the first time you came. And clothes.. Lili, where are you going?"

"Of course I'll be your companion as the bride's friend, right? Come onl. I'll dress you up as pretty as I can." Liliana said to Bella's surprise.

How did Liliana know that Alfred invited her to get married today?

"Not to be confused. Alfred asked me to help you and help you prepare. You can't possibly reject this proposal, right?" the woman's cerocos returned to voice. She then pulled Bella back into her room.

"Buju buseett.... It's beautiful, it's a dress. Aiiyoo.. When is there a man who proposes to me." cried Liliana hysterically. She did not expect the dress that the man chose really matched Bella's cheerful and energetic personality.

Bella just giggled softly at Liliana's behavior and approached the woman. "Please help, Lili."

"of course. Leave it to me." And Liliana started working on makeup for Bella.

In just half a month after preparations for the wedding were completed, it was on October 10th, where Bella was born, Alfred immediately followed his plan.

This was the gift he wanted to give to the girl. He didn't want to delay too long.

There were not many people he called to attend their wedding. Alfred, who was already in a cathedral, was waiting for the girl.

"Tristana. 8 O'clock pick him up at my house." exclaimed Alfred to a man who almost had the same body and height as him.

"Then let me pick it up now" the man glanced at his watch, which was almost eight o'clock, and walked away from Alfred, who was now alone in the Cathedral.

Yes, Alfred only wants to bring his old friend Tristan and also Bella Liliana's friend at their blessing event later. Although she should have also invited the Lincoln family, the Deana family who had helped her a lot from her childhood, Helena and also Gavyn, Brandon, Bella's old friends and Edward, too, but Alfred thought something else.

This is just a blessing. Regarding the reception, the man planned to hold it right after Bella at graduation.

Today is not Sunday or weekend. But the day they look forward to falls on Wednesday. Of course the Lincoln family wasn't home at nine in the morning. While Deana who now has his own busyness is rarely at home after 7 am arrived.

If Alfred invited them, he was afraid that it would only interfere with their busy lives. Especially Brandon is also Mr. Bryan who every day is always busy in his company.

As for himself, he has indeed applied for a long-distance marriage leave for today's event. Luckily the principal wanted to cooperate with him and give him permission according to the day he wanted. And more importantly, the principal would not say about his request to marry other teachers.

In the middle of Liliana makeup Bella, they always joked and fantasized until they felt satisfied. Laugh together while they still have plenty of time to laugh together.

Liliana and Bella had the same thought. That after the blessing is over and the marriage has been legalized, they will definitely have a rare time to meet because their life path has been different.

Knowing that, of course Liliana did not want to miss the opportunity to spend her precious remaining time together with her best friend.

The car horn rang loudly when Liliana was putting veils on Bella's head. "Just a second!" yells. He knew that his screams would not be heard by that person. "Done."

Liliana smiled with satisfaction when she saw the work she applied to Bella successfully, "Wait a minute. I'll be right back." Bella just muttered. Glanced at the departure of Liliana who came out of her room.

The blonde girl turned around and looked back at the reflection of herself in the mirror. A knee-length dress made of satin, headbands adorned with white silver flowers that are not so crowded on the top of her head, are decorated with satin, half-up hairstyles in wavy outlets are simple and do not look too mature or childish.

Bouquet flowers consisting of Tiffany rose, peony, poppy, ranunculus, eucalyptus, and various other soft colored flowers add to the impression of glamour. Flat shoes chosen by the man really make it comfortable. He's not wearing a necklace. And only wear earrings studs with leaf-shaped gems totaling four grains and one pearl bead.

Natural makeup and pinkerbell lip color is very suitable with white skin and the shape of the face. Bella thinks that this isn't hers. Although the makeup applied by Liliana is still fairly the same as the style, but the makeup that now tends to be a little more mature.

"It's not me." he muttered praising himself still in disbelief.

THE CZECH!!

"Oh, brother Tristan. Have you come?" Liliana greets a man Alfred's man.

"Hows it? Did he take it?" tristan asked, glancing upstairs. Liliana smiled.

"Don't worry. He was ready." the woman glanced briefly with a spoiled crack.

Liliana is a friend of Bella's college with the same faculty. Because today they do have an empty hour, making them both no longer need to submit leave permits.

Therefore, Liliana can be a companion to the bride Bella.

"Bella! Are you ready?" liliana. He ran back to go upstairs. Not so long before Liliana's steps reached the end of the stairs, Bella's figure had already come out of her room.

Tristan was amazed by the appearance of Bella who was amazingly beautiful. No wonder he liked his own sister. The girl has blue eyes that people rarely have and natural blonde hair without coloring.

Anyone would definitely fall in love with this girl when they see her current figure.

Liliana immediately helped Bella who was a little troubled. Although the dress was short knee-length, the shoes were flat shoes, but she did not want if a small incident should befall Bella in this important day. He doesn't want that to happen, okay?

When Liliana slapped her gaze towards Tristan, she could not help but grin with confidence. She is satisfied with the results of her make up for Bella. Seeing Tristan who reached dumb with a stupid look staring at Bella like that, it was certain that the man would also be amazed. Uh! Uh! Uh! Liliana laughed the devil. (e✧)

"Ekhem... Echid...!" Liliana interrupted Tristan's renegade daydream and began to misbehave. It made Bella and Liliana laugh. "Reviews. It's not yours."

"Let's go. Alfred was waiting." without saying much, Tristan chose to leave with a guilty expression.

"Haha... The eyes of men. Can't see watch the eyes." Liliana sneered, satisfied.

"Huussis.. Never mind Li, have pity on her." Defend the blonde girl.

Tristan helps open the back entrance for Bella, with great care Liliana helps him to enter. Once in a sense there was nothing lacking and no one was left behind, Tristan turned towards the driver's door. So did Liliana who chose to sit in the passenger seat next to Tristan. While Bella becomes queen and sits alone in the back.

When Tristan's car starts walking out of her house, Bella's heart suddenly rumbles and she starts to get nervous. It makes him sweat even though the car AC has been turned on.

Tristan and Liliana occasionally glanced at Bella through the rearview mirror in the car, and they smiled and saw Bella's actions that could not calm down.

Understandably, Bella's age is only nineteen years old. In this country, the age is ripe to start a job career.

Bella and the other children are an advanced generation. At the age of 15, they graduated from high school. Not many know that 4-year-olds can already attend first grade elementary school. When calculated, when they start to plunge in the world of work, it is right at the age of 19-20 years.

Now, Bella has not even graduated from college and set foot in the workforce, but she already has to be a wife of a man. If it happens to other women, maybe they will rebel and can even do things they do not want. But Bella was just the opposite. She chose to sit sweetly behind the car seat, wearing a beautiful white dress with floral bouquets in hand. Pray with hope and put on a face that says, 'I'm fine. And I'm very happy'.

The car is moving at average speed. Time also almost showed at nine in the morning. And exactly fifteen minutes before the appointed time arrived, Tristan's car had arrived at the National Cathedral. That's where Alfred was waiting.

Liliana came out and helped open the back door for Bella. Meanwhile, Tristan doubles as Bella's father's successor beside her.

Inside the Cathedral, Alfred was still standing in front of a white-clad priest with a golden stripe pattern that was above his pulpit. They are also doing a procession that should be done before the bride comes.

Just when the bride's event must be present, Tristan takes Bella and enters the blessing room to the wedding altar.

Alfred turned his body, staring back there the presence of Bella who looked so very beautiful like an angel fairy. She couldn't help but smile happily when she saw Bella actually coming up with the wedding dress she gave her.

Just when Bella got in front of Alfred, the man grabbed Bella's palm with his thin smile and glaring eyes that emitted an aura of happiness. The man guided Bella to stand next to him. For a moment, the two were drowning in their gazes. Alfred still lingered on looking at Bella's pretty face and the many things she thought about right now about how grateful she was to have Bella beside him at this moment. Likewise, Bella looked at Alfred with a beautiful smile that showed her neat white teeth with a million thoughts similar to Alfred.

"Let's start the show." the priest began to open his voice, making his attention both distracted and looking ahead.

In this wedding confirmation ceremony, the pastor will ask several questions to the bride and groom. These questions are meant to know their earnestness in entering the marriage ark. The two brides will then answer the questions asked symbolically and alternately.

"At this sacred wedding, that is, on Wednesday, June 10th, Alfred Arshavin Frederick will be reunited with Bella Aberald. Now as a servant of God I will ask some questions to the groom and bride. These questions are meant to know their earnestness in entering into this holy marriage."

"Alfred Arshavin Frederick. Do you acknowledge before the Lord and His Church that you are willing and willing to accept Bella Aberald as your only wife and live with her in a holy marriage for life?"

"Yes, I'm ready." Alfred replied without any nervousness. It made Bella turn to look at Alfred with eyes that are difficult to understand.

"Do you love him as much as you love yourself, nurture and care for him, honor and care for him in a state of difficulty and pleasure, in a state of abundance or lack, and love, in a sick and healthy state and loyal to him as long as the two brothers live?"

"Yes, I'm willing." replied Alfred again. And Bella still remained faithful staring at Alfred who did not blink at all answering those questions.

"Yes, I'm willing." this time Alfred turned to return Bella's gaze with his shady eyes. The man smiled so handsomely at her that it made Bella almost cry from happiness.

"Bella Aberald's. Does the sister acknowledge before the Lord and His Church that the sister is willing and willing to accept Alfred Frederick as her only husband and live with him in a holy marriage for life?"

"....." Bella flinched in her place. His voice suddenly stuck in the esophagus when he was about to reply. Suddenly Bella was afraid that she would disappoint Alfred and make herself suddenly sob.

The silence made the priest look at Bella curiously, then glanced at Alfred. Liliana and Tristan who were sitting down were worried and afraid when suddenly the girl changed her mind.

Alfred remained calm, and he turned to face Bella smiling, "Bella. Don't you want to be with me? If yes..."

Bella suddenly shook her head. Everyone doesn't know what the meaning of his head is. Does that mean Bella does not want to get married, or vice versa...

"I.hiks.." Bella started sobbing. Alfred was not angry and remained patient.

"Tell me. I won't be mad at you."

Bella did not reply, she just turned to look at the priest again. Cue to repeat the question for him. He had come to the Cathedral not to humiliate Alfred and not to leave the man beside him. Dja comes because she wants to live forever spending the rest of her life with the man next to her.

"Are you sure, son?" ask the priest. He did not want to force the girl if he did not want to.

"No. Let's repeat that." said Bella firmly. The priest glanced madly at Bella. Trying to find confidence in the girl. Once convinced, the priest asked the same question again.

This time, Bella did it by looking at Alfred's eyeballs with a sad look of eyes that were difficult to read.

"Yes, I'm willing." Hearing Bella's steady reply, everyone was relieved. Especially Alfred who was smiling towards him.

The priest was relieved, and began to continue. "Whether the sister is willing to submit to the husband, to nurture and care for him, to honor and maintain him in a state of difficulty and pleasure, in a state of abundance or lack, and to, in a sick and healthy state and loyal to her as long as the two sisters live?"

"Yes, I'm ready." Liliana smiled until her tears came down.

"And lastly, is the sister willing to keep the sanctity of this marriage as a faithful and God-fearing wife for the rest of your life?"

"Yes, I'm ready."

Closing the question session, the pastor told everyone present as witnesses of their blessing.

"Now, brother of Alfred Arshavin Frederick, solemnly pronounce the marriage vows of the brothers. And also Bella Aberald's sister after that."

"I, Alfred Arshavin Frederick accept you, Bella Aberald became the only wife in a legitimate marriage, to be owned and maintained, from this day onwards, in joy and sorrow, he said, when abundance and lack, in sickness and in health, to be loved and cared for and cherished, until death do us part, I make my faithful promise to you."

And after Alfred said his wedding vows, Bella also said the same thing even though she was a little nervous and stammered.

The next thing is to wear a ring. The priestess handed him a pair of rings of different sizes in front of the two. This ring is certainly different from the ring Alfred gave when the man proposed to him.

This ring is a symbol that describes the love between a husband and wife. The circular ring has no end and no base, symbolizing a love that will not stop. A ring made of pure gold that will not rust, symbolizes a love that will not fade and be damaged.

"That the love between these two brethren, Alfred Arshavin Frederick and Bella Aberald, will not end as long as they live, the days grow more holy, the days mature and the days grow more sincere." said the priest.

Alfred then put a ring with a small size on the ring finger of Bella's right hand as a sign of love to the girl that will never end and will never fade. Followed by Bella who also pinned another ring on the ring finger of Alfred's right hand.

The two then kneeled for the affirmation and blessing that the pastor would do to both. Pray for them before declaring that the two have truly bonded with each other.

When they finished, the two stood up and faced each other. Alfred changed positions to the right of Bella. With the guidance of the priest, Alfred began to open the veils covering part of Bella's face, then kissed the girl's cheeks. The opposite is true of Bella. Kissing Alfred's cheeks in accordance with the orders he had to follow.

The event closed the blessing of both.

"Bella´s. Thank you." Thank you." Alfred said sincerely. The girl nodded.

"Shouldn't I be the one to thank you?"

***********

The next day, Alfred escorted Bella to campus with the intention of meeting one of his sister's deans, or now he could be called his wife? Whatever. Both are the same. Haha...

Alfred planned to speed up the process of working on Bella's thesis and did not want to buy time again. So the man helped his wife take care of the thesis submission procedure.

Alfred helped Bella from behind to determine some of the elements that should be covered in the research submission proposal later. Where there is a title, research context, research focus, goals, and benefits in the research. After being convinced that the element is suitable and good, Bella must meet the Head of Administrative Department of the campus. It aims to ensure that the conditions for the submission of the thesis have been passed.

Bella is a student who has a genius brain. In a short time, Bella managed to convince the head of the administration easily.

The next day, Bella did not want to waste time and immediately went back to see the head of her study program. Where the party will examine some aspects that are needed.

After the research proposal was accepted, Bella was finally given a research supervisor by the head of the study program earlier. The selection of these Guiding Lecturers is based on the focus and topic, as well as the type of research that will be carried out by the student. In this case, Bella is allowed to choose her own Advisor who she considers suitable for her research.

After all this has been passed, he must communicate with his Advisor and consult about his research. This initial consultation will lead to making a research proposal made for the next.

Bella's fate was under her current Counselor. Because all his bureaucratic affairs are related to the Instructor Lecturer alone.

When working on pre-seminar proposals, he even needs to consult and show the progress of proposals that are done regularly. It was at this time that all elements of his proposal were considered. From how the theoretical framework, its methodology, the authenticity of the research, also what references are needed, and others. Exchange more knowledge between himself and his Instructor is maximized here.

If the proposal has been decided, stay the Seminar Proposal procession. This procession is required to present Lecturers, Comparative Lecturers, and invitees. The invitations consist of students, both friends and the corresponding underclassmen. The more the number of invitations, the procession Seminar Proposal will be better, because all invitations will also be asked for input related to improvements that need to be done in the proposal.

But more important than that, and that needs to be emphasized, Bella is expected to be able to filter the inputs she receives according to her needs. Therefore, he must understand exactly what he wants with his proposal. And thus, he could filter out for himself which inputs were relevant and which were not.

Luckily Alfred always helped him and gave input if the grammar of the proposal was not fitting and less interesting.

The next day after Bella conducted the Proposal Seminar, the next task she worked on was to work on the essence of her script in the form of extracting data and analyzing it according to the method she wrote in the proposal. This section is also under the direction of the Advisor. So, consultations with him continue in recent times to show the progress he has achieved and get guidance from the lecturer.

At this stage, bureaucratic affairs do not involve the campus at all, except in one case research from the campus for students who conduct field research. This certificate is important, because some agencies ask for a certificate from the campus concerned. Therefore, for field researchers, it is highly recommended to take care of the certificate to the campus.

Such a nastiness makes Bella not have time to meet Liliana or her other friends just to spend time chatting and having fun.

When the research process carried out by Bella was completed and the research report was written in full, Bella immediately went to consult the full stage with her Advisor again. This stage aims to ensure that the manuscript of his thesis is complete. From the start of the title page, the statement of authenticity, the approval page, the endorsement page, the transliteration guidelines, the foreword, and the things that must be linked to the end.

If everything is complete and the Advisor has declared this good, just do the thesis exam. And the magic is, he only did it in one try.

In terms of democracy, there are two parties that must be met by him before doing the thesis Exam. The two parties are the Head of Administration and TU Prodi. They ensure some of the results achieved by the girl during the lecture process from starting grades without E or D values, her status is always active and always present at every meeting, he said, financial administration is completed without arrears, and so on.

The TU Prodi will ensure that he has completed things such as authenticity statements that have been signed and filled with stamp duty. The approval page has been signed, the consultation sheet has been completed, the Kaprodi value is complete.

When all the completeness is fulfilled, it is time for the girl to enter the stage of the Test of Thesis.

When the day of the thesis exam arrived, Bella got three lecturers. Among the three is the chief examiner, the leader of the congregation, and the secretary of the congregation and Bella knows she will be exposed to a variety of questions that will make her unable to concentrate. At least that's what her husband said about the scourge during the thesis hearing.

But when it happened, Bella felt that what was asked was still within reasonable limits for her. Because that question tests its ability to account for its research around the validity and systematization of research, from the beginning of the manuscript to its conclusion, from A to Z.

During the process of working on this thesis, Liliana was always beside him and cheered the blonde girl from behind. Even the usually nosy Ken did not dare to bother Bella at the time the girl was conducting a trial.

Alfred also always took the time to be near the girl while conducting the trial. His existence made people glance at him curious and want to know what the handsome man was doing on their campus.

When Bella came out of the courtroom, she looked so very satisfied and could not help but jump in because she was happy. He even hugged Alfred shamelessly in front of everyone who was walking by.

Ah.. What a fuck Bella cares.

"It still needs to revise, right?" alfred said more to a statement. It made Bella sigh disappointed and muttered while nodding.

Alfred smiled and stroked the blonde mane of Bella dear, before finally shamelessly kissing the girl's forehead.

Without them noticing, Gwen accidentally saw their friendly scene not far from the Bella faculty building. But he only glanced at it before choosing to go back. The woman only knew that Bella and Alfred had nothing more than a sister to a sister. Obviously when looking at their friendly scene, Gwen did not have any thoughts.

"I'll help you if it's just a revise" Alfred said sincerely.

"Oohh... It is delicious that has a partner. Nothing must be helped." joked Liliana quipped. And Bella could only lower her head while smiling shyly. Alfred did not say much and only smiled faintly.

Yoana stared at the silhouette of Bella from the opposite building with a sad look in her eyes. She wanted to hug the girl and say, 'I'm your grandmother, son. How much I want to hug you'.

Unfortunately, he felt that this time was not right. Joanna turned her eyes to Alfred. He smiled faintly watching the man. How much he loved his grandson. He knew that his grandson must live in happiness every day. Seeing the two who loved each other made him very sure of it. And it made his heart calm.

*************

Finally, Bella's thesis was completed in just two months. And now it has entered the beginning of December.

Winter has arrived.

After the girl finished her script exam and passed, Bella finally had a long day off while waiting for her graduation day.

And during the long holiday, Alfred again asked for leave of work for approximately one month to the school. Understandably, Alfred never took a leave of absence for one year of work. And he always takes time off only in the time that is important to him.

The man plans to invite the girl to enjoy vacation time with them in London, England.

It had been a long time since he had prepared everything. And now is the time.
