Brother, I Love You
NEW LIFE

After a week of Adelina's death as well as Thomas's, Alfred intends to move to a city across the city of Washington DC. Maybe there he can live a life that is supportive enough to continue his life together with his sister Bella.

With great care, Alfred laid Bella's body in his bed. Right in the middle, with two small pillows as the baby's motion barrier. Afraid that Bella will fall. Although still 5 months old, but Bella is able to move very actively.

Alfred opened the suitcase and put his clothes into Bella's. Not so many clothes that Alfred put in the suitcase because he felt that later not so important when they began to grow up. Some important items that he had to carry also he put in a suitcase. Luckily Alfred has got one house for his new residence with a size that is quite fitting for him to occupy later in the city of Washington DC at an affordable price for him. Although he was still 9 years old, but Alfred was already good at making buying and selling transactions. Moreover, he had also diligently practiced martial arts when living together with Thomas before. It was enough to guard himself from some danger that could threaten him.

Thiins..  Thiins..

The sound of a car horn intrudes on his activities. For a moment he turned towards Bella who played with her legs raised upwards and tried to reach her own feet.

"I'll be right back." After telling Bella that, Alfred then ran to the front and found a pick-up car parked in front of his yard.

"Is this really the residence of Lord Alfred?" Ask a man who is transporting goods.

"Ah, right. I myself sir. Please help."

Hearing that the owner of the house was a small child made them momentarily gawk in disbelief. But a second later they immediately transported the goods that Alfred was about to move. In any case, the child had paid off the freight forwarding service beforehand. After telling everything, Alfred took the suitcase and immediately carried Bella carefully and quickly departed after locking the door of the house. For a moment Alfred stood staring at the old Thomas' house with a pushy look. He then sighed heavily before finally turning towards the pick up car.

Actually he felt heavy to leave the house owned by Thomas who had been his residence. But he must. Although he should not have left the house that is not his right. But at least one day she too Bella can still occupy their old house. Now Alfred will only rent Thomas's house for the next few years until his ideals are also Bella granted.

"I'm sorry, sister, Bella. We need to move now. I promise you, we'll be back here someday." His words murmured softly.

But Alfred's remarks were still able to be heard by the pick-up driver who looked at them concerned.

"Why should I move? Isn't life good here?" Knock the driver on the sidelines to drive him.

"No uncle. I have to find my dream first." Answer Alfred, innocence. Making the driver pick up was only able to smile knot.

A few hours later, their journey passed quickly. And they have arrived at a minimalist-sized house that is directly adjacent to a luxurious house that is none other than the house owner where Alfred rented. It's actually better to live in your own home. But given the loneliness of the streets around his home in the city where he used to live, made Alfred feel the need to go to a more crowded city.

A middle-aged woman who still looks beautiful is standing in front of her minimalist home that will be rented to Alfred. The woman smiled warmly at the child while holding her baby, which Alfred believed was the same age as Bella.

"Alfred. You've come, son?" The woman greeted Alfred with open arms.

"Oh yeah, please put the stuff in here, sir." Ask the woman to the freight worker.

"Brandon!! Come here, baby." She pushed the woman into her home. Alfred frowned when he heard the woman calling someone from inside.

A boy about eight years old appeared. A boy with a dark brown mane with sharp eyeballs like a crow's eye. The child smiled faintly towards the woman who also decomposed the same as him. Both of her cheeks had two hollows when she smiled.

"Please accompany Alfred first, yes. And please take care of your sister. Mommy's gonna make them some drinks first." Pinta that woman who is none other than the mother of Brandon.

"Good Mom." Brandon received his sister from his mother's hand. Then I looked softly at Alfred's eyes.

"I heard you're gonna be occupying the house next door. I wish we could be best friends, Alfred." Brandon said, friendly.

"It's great to meet you Brandon. Yeah, hopefully. Please help." Answer flat Alfred. He even exceeded the flat face of the Brandon family.

Deana, the middle-aged woman's name came back out with a tray of one teapot as well as several cups. In addition to bringing a few pieces of pastry as their snack, Alfred was also the workers of the goods carrier.

"Please."

"Thank you, madam." The workers then took a cup of tea that had been filled with tea before.

"Alfred. I heard you wanted to go to school?" Tukas Deana base stale began to open the conversation.

"Ah, right aunt. But I can't possibly leave Bella alone at home. So I guess I don't have to rush to school just yet." Deana chuckles little hearing the answer from Alfred.

"Not to worry. Let me take care of him while you're in school."

Hearing Deana's words, Alfred was pleased. But he feels bad about having to impose his responsibility on others, right?

"Edward also has a playmate later, Alfred." Deana pointed to the baby boy in Brandon's arms.

Alfred stared at the three for a moment. It is true what Deana said. This is the reason for moving. So that he could go to school and at least be crowded with people around his residence. And again, getting a rented house with a good owner like Deana is not easy. He should be grateful to have a friendly neighbor.

"What school are you going to go to, Alfred?" Ask Brandon. He still faithfully fondles his younger brother whom he carries.

"Junior High School." Alfred replied, briefly.

"Then it means the same thing as Brandon. You better go to school in the same place. Let aunt take care of everything." Sela Deana's.

"Ah, thank you aunt. I'm lucky to have neighbors like you." Alfred bowed as a sign of his gratitude in front of Deana.

"No problem, just think of it like your own family, OK." Timpal Deana smiling sumringah. He feels happy if his sons can get a playmate at this time. He was also lucky Alfred was a good boy according to him.

"Sorry, Madam, Alfred. Excuse me for retreating. Our job also seems to have been completed here." The chirps of one of the freight workers not far from Deana and Alfred spoke. Both of them looked towards the worker.

Deana smiled as she took something out of her pants pocket. A few pieces of money and put the money on the workers who now look confused.

"Th-this..."

"This is a thank you. Because they've been delivered safely, sir." Obviously Deana. With that, one of the workers looked at each other before finally willing to accept the money offered by Deana with a bad feeling.

"Then, we thank you very much Madam." Deana nodded with a smile. "We'll excuse you." The worker left Deana's residence after saying goodbye to Alfred.

Back Deana turned body. Staring at Alfred with a smile still perched from his lips.

"I should've tipped them off, auntie. Why did Aunt Deana give it to her?" Alfred felt a little guilty.

"Just calm. The money for a tip you can use for other needs." Alfred was silent and did not flinch to justify Deana's words. It's true, he needs money for his living expenses with Bella in the future. There was no way he would squander money with as good as his heart.

"Then, can I ask you a favor, Aunt Deana. I want to buy daily necessities to the supermarket for a while. Can I just get Bella?"

"certain. Let Brandon take you on a bike" Deana said.

"Again thanks." Alfred bowed in gratitude. Then took his bike parked in front of his new house after handing Bella to Deana for delivery. He deliberately brought the bike for his means of transportation while in this new city.

So did Brandon who also took his bicycle in the garage. A little conversation with the mother, Brandon muttered after receiving money from Deana before the child finally approached Alfred.

"Alfred. I don't understand, why did you move here? Isn't it comfortable in your town?" Ask Brandon during the trip.

"I don't have any family there anymore. I only live alone with my sister. It feels uncomfortable to live in a house far from the crowd especially without being accompanied by adults." Alfred replied at length. Brandon responded with a head of understanding.

Soon they arrived in front of the supermarket. Alfred immediately took the troly as well as followed by Brandon behind him, the boy was also asked by Deana to all buy the kitchen needs are exhausted.

"Can you cook?" Brandon asked when he saw the groceries Alfred was currently buying. Although Brandon was born from a family of minimal expression, the mother's kindly sympathetic nature declined directly to him. Make him care about the situation around the child.

"so. Living alone should be cooking, right?" Alfred Timpal.

After all, Alfred and Brandon went straight to the cashier to pay for their groceries. After that, they rushed home. Especially Alfred who did not want to linger troublesome others.

Not much he bought. Only he will eat. While Bella, the baby only needs formula milk. He regretted giving his sister at the age of a toddler by only drinking formula milk. Bella should have drunk breast milk at that age. But what power.

Arriving home, Alfred immediately picked up Bella at the house next door. Walking in tandem with Brandon, he was surprised to find Deana's youngest son suddenly crying as he took Bella from Deana's hand. But then he stopped crying as he put his sister back near the fat baby. And it made everyone in the house laugh including Alfred. Seeing the cute behavior of the fat baby he knew named Edward. Even Alfred was made to scratch his head so strangely felt the attitude of baby Edward who was said to not want to be separated from Bella.

"I'll excuse you then, aunt." Pamit Alfred, after being convinced that Edward was no longer crying.

"Oh yeah. Alfred, Bella I've been through. So you don't have to make formula milk for her anymore." Alfred's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Sorry aunt. If Bella's been troubling you." Alfred bowed apologetically. He felt bad because he had just arrived in this city but had already troubled others.

"It's okay, Alfred. Just relax. No need to thank me or apologize to me. I'm willing to help you anyway."

"alright. Once, I said thank you so much. Then excuse me aunt."

.

Alfred looked at Bella who was now asleep in her cradle. He smiled faintly at Bella who was not fussy lately. It makes it easy to take care of Bella without feeling any hassles.

For a moment Alfred glanced at the clock on his bedroom nightstand. The bed in the room had a partition with a window. However, it also made him able to see the scenery from outside the window. Her bed was wide enough that she did not have to worry about leaving Bella alone. At times Bella would fall from the bed to the floor without her supervision.

Alfred went to the kitchen. Put all your groceries in the refrigerator. Take some vegetable ingredients to make the dinner menu. Although the house he rented was fairly simple, but Deana who knew that the person who would rent the house was a child who was not old enough, he said, make Deana kindly complete the contents of the house quite complete.

From starting bedroom furniture, kitchen utensils, and also living room furniture. It is fairly simple, but enough to make the house occupied by Alfred very comfortable.

After eating, Alfred washed his dishes and used glasses in the kitchen sink and then cleaned his eating utensils to the place they were. When all was done Alfred immediately went to his bedroom. He couldn't possibly occupy a different room with Bella. So she decided to sleep one bed with Bella.

The house he rented had two bedrooms. There was only one room with a bathroom inside. It was the room they were currently occupying. And that room is on the second floor. While the other bedroom, is on the ground floor with a bathroom adjacent to the kitchen.

He laid down his tired body and tilted his body to face Bella who was asleep. He smiled looking at his brother's peaceful face.

"At least you're still there next to me, Bella. Quickly grow up. I love you my sweet sister." Alfred peeped at his sister's forehead and lastly Bella's cherry-red little lips in her brief kiss.

"good night, Bella. Have a good dream."

The next second, Alfred immediately fell asleep by hugging Bella's body. Closer his cheeks to Bella's cheeks before finally diving into her dreamland.

Kriyii.......

The alarm of Alfred's room clock rang aloud. Shortly after, the child awakens and grabs the alarm button to turn it off. For a moment he looked back at Bella who had awoken. And she was grateful Bella wasn't crying and fussy.

At 05:00 Alfred went into the bathroom just to wash his face. Feeling refreshed, he dragged his feet into the kitchen. Making milk for breakfast Bella just in case her sister suddenly cries from hunger.

"Good morning, Bella. Are you hungry?" Hello Alfred, he sits cross-legged beside Bella. Slowly shake the new bottle of milk.

Winking, flashing. Many times Bella blinked her cute eyes and stared at the ceiling of her room and sometimes glanced at the mischievous Alfred. Smiling, mumbling indistinctly to the point of screaming with a funny grin. This made Alfred feel anxious. But a second later Bella looks soft and her crying broke. Alfred laughed and gave a bottle of formula milk into his sister's mouth.

Long enough Bella absorbs milk to spend half a bottle of milk. Alfred tried to take it and Bella fell silent. "Now, it's Bella's time to take a bath."

With great care, Alfred revealed all of Bella's clothes and brought the toddler's body into the bathroom for a warm bath that he had prepared in advance. As gently as possible the boy bathed his sister very carefully. Until the moment the tiny body touched the water, Bella's two sapphire irises immediately rounded perfectly. Alfred laughed at Bella's funny face which seemed to be surprised but simultaneously felt happy. Seen from the face of Bella who sometimes smiles and laughs excitedly.

"Your body is fragrant, Bella. Time to get dressed now." Wrap a soft towel over Bella's wet body and take her back to the room. He applied the telon oil to Bella's cold body and fertilized it with orange-flavored powder. Wear diapers that he has bought before.

"Collections of brothers who bathe. Don't be naughty, Ok? Bella's a smart kid, right?"

After Bella, she went back to the bathroom to clean her body. It didn't take long for Alfred to take a shower. He prepared to take his sister basking in the morning sun. From the book he read, it is good for babies to bask in the sun that is still early to smooth blood circulation in his body. He certainly would not waste it on his sister's health.

When he came out of the house, Alfred gasped when he saw Brandon who was also outside the house sunbathing with Edward.

Brandon smiled when he realized Alfred's existence was not far from him. "good morning, Alfred." Sweepings.

"morning Brandon." Alfred's reply was brief. He approached Brandon and sat down beside him.

"You do this a lot with your sister?" Ask Alfred, stale. Brandon nodded as he muttered in response.

"Oh yes, my mother told me. We're going to a new school to take the test." Brandon broke the silence between them.

"I guess it was just a joke. That's right, huh?" Brandon laughed softly in response to Alfred.

.

.

According to Deana, Alfred eventually enrolled in the same school as Brandon after Deana had tried to persuade the boy. Brandon should still be in elementary school. But because of his genius, he was immediately able to get a junior high school.

Alfred spread his eyes across the school. Makes himself feel less. Alfred doesn't even know anyone here. Brandon was all he knew. Especially in view of wherever this school is very luxurious and favorite. How can he pay for his school here?.

"Alfred, you're very lucky. The school gave you a tuition fee waiver because your entrance test got above average." Circlock Brandon suddenly. Surprising? Sure oes.

Alfred was just thinking about how the school fees here would be, but a second later got an answer that he got a scholarship because of his intelligence. Bella screamed in excitement trying to reach Alfred's face. It was as if the baby was also happy to hear the news from Brandon.

Alfred smiled at Bella, narrowing his eyes.

"Thank you, Bella. I'm glad you're happy for brother, too." The focus is on the baby he is carrying.

Quietly, not far from her was a girl with a thin mole on the side of her right cheek trying to steal a glance at Alfred. Even he ignored his friend who had invited him to chat to notice the mysterious face of a dark brown disemboweled man who was joking with a baby in his carrier. That man is none other than Alfred.

"Helena? You hear me?" Excited the boy spread out when he realized that the attention of the girl in front of him was not paying attention to him.

"HELENA!!"

"Ah, yes, Vyn. What's up?" The girl was shocked and misbehaved. But again his eyes were distracted by the figure of Alfred who increasingly disappeared from his visibility. Gavyn, the name of the man who was with the girl, tried to follow Helena's point of view. But the man frowned not understanding when he could not find anyone who stole Helena's attention from him.

Helena clucked in disappointment and it made Gavyn even more suspicious glance at her. "What do you see until you ignore me?" gavyn's great-grandson sulked, asking for an explanation.

Helena shook her head gently with a smile that made her two eyes narrow instantly.

"none. I thought I saw the guy I knew earlier."  Eagles reject. Gavyn raised her eyebrows next to a girl named Helena in disbelief.

"really?" Helena nodded steadily towards Gavyn with her innocent face without sin. I wish the boy in front of me could trust him.

In his heart he hoped. Hopefully later he can one class with the young man who has secretly captivated his heart. The young man to him was very mysterious.

'I hope we can get to know you more closely.'

"Yoana, are you inside?" a man in his 60s called out to someone from the living room of his house.

Not long after, there was the sound of a step from the knock of a woman's high heels from the stairs. The man smiled faintly, yet did not smile towards the woman. "There's good news."

The woman did not reply, and continued to walk down the stairs slowly approaching the old man.

If noticed, the woman's face with the man was as if the father with his daughter. But actually, they are a couple. The man is clearly visible if his age is old. But the woman, despite her age of almost 55 years, looks like a woman who is only 35 years old.

It is clear that the treatment of the woman is not abal-abal skincare treatment.

The man pulled his tie to loosen it. Walking towards the living room, she lays her butt over the single sofa. The man sighed comfortably throwing his tired back onto the back of the sofa.

Seeing that the woman he called Yoana had also been sitting nearby, he smiled wider and wider. "I got word that Thomas was in Wyoming."

"really? How could you know?" Joanna was skeptical when she heard the good news from her husband's mouth. Because all he knew, his husband, never cared at all about what his son was doing all this time.

Thomas was the only son in the family of Hans and Joanna. Both are capable of having only one child. Joanna didn't even have a chance to have a second child. It was because of Joanna who previously had a miscarriage after two years of Thomas' birth.

The diagnosis he received was that his uterus had a hard enough impact that made his uterus inevitably have to suffer permanent damage. It makes him unable to have a baby back.

Yet lucky. At least Thomas was born before that.

After Thomas grew up, Hans only wanted his son to continue the business he had been in all his life. Replace him if he has to retire someday. Who knew that Thomas would rather pursue his dreams than take care of his father's office business.

Of course Thomas's decision came under fire from Hans as well as Joanna. They both got angry because they were angry. But who would have thought, that Thomas turned out to be a stubborn person and did not want to be denied including his parents.

The boy chose his own path. He left all the possessions Hans and Joanna had given him. He was only armed with two clothes and also his own hard-earned money. Get out of the house and go abroad.

Hans believed that Thomas would not last long in the land of people for more than a day. And he also believed that Thomas would definitely go home and plead with him. Acknowledge everything that has been done before. However, what Hans believed turned out to be not getting results either. Thomas is becoming.

A day, two days, three days, until finally the day changed weeks. Weeks change months, months change years. Thomas does not return home and makes Hans and Joanna anxious.

And now, having deployed all the reliable detectives to search for his whereabouts, Hans got the results.

"Are you sure it's really our Thomas, Hans?" Joanna asked back.

"Of course I'm sure, Joanna. We'll be there the day after tomorrow. I booked the plane ticket." Yoana silently flinching, Hans smiled understandably. He knows his wife still does not believe that she has completely changed after the events of a few years ago.

But at least, he had been trying to find the whereabouts of his son. In any case, Thomas was still his only son. The only child of his family. Company heir. How could he hate the son he loved so much?

Joanna began to believe. And he wants to believe it.
