Brother, I Love You
Sorrows

"Come on Bella." Ashley's orders.

"I don't want to!! How many times do I have to say. I don't want to go with you!!" Erang Bella is still trying to rebel.

Ashley clucked in annoyance. Aleysia herself could do nothing. In fact, she felt sorry for Bella who had to be separated from someone who had been caring for her since birth. And now become someone who is truly valuable to him. Aleysia even imagined what it would be like if she was in Bella's position at that time. He must be separated from his family. That must have been very painful.

"Ashley, Aley! Come on in, we're home now!" Anita began to get upset from inside the car.

"Yes, Mom!" Ashley's voice was a little screaming.

"Quick Bella!!" Forcibly, Ashley pushes Bella's body into Chal's car. Followed by Aleysia. No matter how she screams in pain Bella as a result of her push to hit the side car door.

"Be careful Ashley! You hurt your cousin's sister." Anita warned Ashley, who was always harsh and rude.

"I'm sorry." - Timpal Ashley.

After Bella actually entered, Chal immediately started the engine, then left the hospital parking lot. So did Ashley who immediately rushed into her car.

When Ashley starts to run her red Laferrari Maranello, Alfred who just came out to catch Bella immediately ran to approach Ashley's car as fast as possible. The woman who did not care just glanced at Alfred and grinned bitterly then looked at his car starter at high speed.

"ASHLEY!! GIVE BELLA BACK TO ME!!" Shouted Alfred hoarse. He fell limp to the asphalt, still shouting. "Give Bella back to me, Ashley!! Please return!!" His roar.

Gavyn is also Helena who came running out suddenly stopped her legs. Staring at Alfred who was sitting in the middle of the road with tears flowing so fast. And that really made both of them unexpectedly surprised. An Alfred roared to tears like that. Gavyn clearly knew what Alfred's true nature was. He knew, Alfred was a man of eleven-twelve with his family. Flat and cold. Of course, for his family, crying is a shame. Especially for a man. But Alfred was not part of his family. Obviously they are different.

"Alfred's." Lirih Helena next to Gavyn. Making the man just glance at Helena at a glance.

"Give Bella back, Ashley!! Please please!! Bella!!" Alfred continued to roar shouting with a trembling voice from crying. His body was even shaken. Stare straight at the direction where Ashley's car disappeared.

Gavyn and Helena walked slowly over to their best friend. Honestly, both of them want to give happy news to their best friend Alfred before. But now even those who got unexpected news from the man in glasses.

"Alfred's." Gavyn patted his best friend's shoulder slowly. He was concerned about the man's situation. While Helena squatted along to align herself with Alfred.

"Bella, Helen. My wife!! They– Bella.." Said Alfred. Helena could not even see the man she once loved, her heart breaking as she now sees it. And Alfred unwittingly dropped his head on Helena's shoulder. Spilling all his sadness at the moment.

Gavyn could understand that. Although not willing. But yeah, that's it. Alfred needs more support now.

***********

Deana's smile suddenly faded from her lips when she saw her youngest son just enter the stairs in a hurry without greeting himself or Bryan there.

Even Brandon the older brother who raised his hand to say hello with a smile had to willingly fade and undo his intention to greet Edward. He turned towards Deana his mother was also Bryan. But his parents also looked at him cluelessly.

Seeing that, Deana sighed for a moment, then put away the sofa cushion and put it on the sofa next to her. "Let Mommy meet him."

A BAAM!!

Edward's bedroom door closed without any intention of locking it. Edward then laid his body on the sofa room. Sighing tired while stomping his head which began to throb pain. His gaze circled out the window with the look of a wistful eye.

"Huh-ah!!" His face glared at the ceiling of his room.

Today was really a bad day for her like that. From family meetings involving him. Even though he could have avoided. But what power, Bella is there. Makes her want to accompany the blonde girl. Fearing that until the woman named Ashley was harming Bella. The most surprising thing is, Bella who was sentenced to be positively pregnant. Huh-ah.. It's totally crazy according to him. And finally, the news came out of the girl's lips that Alfred was her husband and they were married.

"Bella's.." He called the blonde girl.

Unaware of it, Deana noticed herself as she opened her bedroom door slowly.

'Does he still have a heart for Bella?' Inner Deana felt sliced.

He closed the door to his son's room. He decided to meet Edward.

"How's it?" Bryan asked when Deana came back to see him. Deana just shook her head while snorting.

He would throw his ass back to sit when suddenly the front door of the house on tap. Making Deana, Bryan and Brandon look at each other.

"Let me open it, Mom." Deana just nodded. Then Brandon rose to the living room to open the door.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

For the next time the door was knocked back. But Brandon had no intention to answer the knocker of his house door.

Chequek!!

Brandon was really surprised when he saw who was visiting today. He even opened his mouth confused to say especially when he knew the person who was standing with a smile greeting him.

***********

"Bella, you should understand why your aunt and uncle asked you to come with us." Cerocos Anita for the second time. But Bella's response indifferently ignores Anita. He threw his face out the window. Looked at with an empty view. He didn't even hear anything that his aunt talked about. The focus of his sapphire eyes was only on one thought. Alfred Frederick was her husband.

Anita sighed tiredly looking at Bella who was just daydreaming. So did Aleysia who was staring at Bella with a sad look in her eyes. It seems like it's gone too far. He should not have also been involved in separating Bella from the person who had been willing to take care of her cousin. Had Alfred not taken care of Bella at the time and chosen to take advantage of all the possessions of his uncle Thomas, he would have hated Alfred. But the reality is different. Alfred was even willing to take care of Bella who was a baby at a relatively young age. Living alone with a baby. Aleysia could even imagine how difficult it would be to be Alfred who had to take care of Bella alone without the help of his kinsmen and the adults around them. In fact, he also knew, Alfred could not rely on money from Thomas's legacy alone to survive this long.  Surely Alfred tried to find a suitable job at the age that was not enough to make money.

Of course, Bella was well versed and well acquainted with how a real Alfred Frederick was. And it is impossible that Bella will just accept with the humiliation given by her mother and her brother who missed the rough. Bella certainly would not stay silent if the man was insulted in such a way. That's right what the blonde girl said a few hours ago. He and his family did not know well who the real Alfred Frederick was. Even he himself had never seen what Alfred looked like before today. Ashley only met three times as a child. She knew it when her sister told her about it a few days ago. If you can comment, he thinks Alfred is a figure who is so good for Bella. A lover who is so responsible. Especially when he accidentally saw the ring embedded in Bella's ring finger as well as Alfred while they were in the hospital.

Aleysia's daydream breaks down when Chal suddenly pulls the car over. It made Aleysia confused. But when he saw Ashley's car also pulled over and came out to his father's car, Aleysia just understood.

"Daddy's going to uncle's house for a second. Let Ashley change the drive."

"Mommy's coming too?" Ask Aleysia.

"No. Just Daddy."

And after finishing his sentence, Chal exchanged positions with his eldest daughter. Ashley glanced for a moment at Bella who was just speechless. But the blonde girl did not move at all.

Bella secretly glanced with a look of disgusted eyes at Ashley as well as her aunt who was still watching her. He wants to rebel free. Perhaps it was better for him to follow their game while thinking of a way to escape.

'Alfred, how are you doing now?' Inner miris. Even every time he called the name of his lover was somehow even though only in the heart made his chest throb pain and tightness. It was as if thousands of needles were piercing his heart.

While Ashley returns to head to their residence, Chal takes her eldest daughter's Laferrari Maranello in the opposite direction. It took an hour to get to a luxurious yet modest Victorian house.

The parking of the red Laferrari car was on a special page of the car. He came out and ran a little and knocked on the door of the house a few times.

Chequek!!

Chal smiled to greet a man who was over 27 years old. The guy with the same face line as him.

"Uncle Chal?" Exclaim the man. Chal just smiled in response.

"Can you go see your mom and dad, Brandon?"

"certain." Brandon names the man and opens the door wide. Giving way for his guests who are none other than their relatives.

From the inside of the house, Bryan also Deana came out to see who was visiting his house. Chal was about to throw himself to sit down, but he paused when he saw Bryan and Deana coming out to see him.

"Oh, you turned out. Long time no see, Chal." Say hello Bryan while throwing himself on the single sofa.

"Hm, that's it." Answer the short Chal.

And for Deana, Bryan and Brandon it's normal. Given that Chal is also from the same family even though it is from a branch family.

"Tumben you came here, Chal. Is there a problem?" Tanya Deana instead looked at Chal curiously. Because Chal long enough distant relatives did not appear again after marrying Anita from the Lee family and decided to live and settle in the neighboring country.

Chal just nodded for a moment. Take a deep breath and then breathe it back out. "Yes, can you help me?"

Deana suddenly frowned. Brandon just glanced at the curious Chal. Bryan looked at Chal fixedly with a flat and cold expression.

"We'll be staying temporarily in the Villa area north of Washington city. And I hope you come there tonight. There's something I want to talk about and it's very important with you guys." Tukas Chal at length.

Bryan glanced at Deana for a moment. "Why not now, Chal? Put you here."

"I can't say that right now, Bryan. Maybe that's all. I have to go home now." Chal said regretfully as he stood up. "I will wait for your arrival later tonight. It's been a while, isn't it. We're not having dinner together?" Chal smiled thinly. And responded by Deana who also smiled.

"alright. We're coming." Deana Timpal.

And after that, Chal said goodbye to go home. Bryan was still curious and so was Deana. Chal's arrival to them was definitely not without other intentions. There was definitely something else that would greatly surprise them later.

"That's.. Uncle Chal, he used to come here." Cirrup Brandon.

Deana smiled warmly in response. "Mommy doesn't know either. Maybe we'd better come tonight."

Brandon just beards. Look outside for a moment to see Chal's car that has disappeared.

**********

Anita then pulled Bella's hand a little hard. Forcing the girl to follow herself into the villa that still belongs to her husband Chal. Bella must how else, of course can only resign. Rebellion out?? Not likely. She is still sane and still remembers very well that she is now pregnant. He also did not want to endanger himself and his son.

"Auntie hope you won't think about that little girl again, Bella. Or you'll know the consequences later." Anita's Sweat. Keep pulling Bella to the second floor. Followed by Ashley as well Aleysia who tailed behind them.

Ashley smirked in satisfaction at finally being able to separate Alfred from Bella. He never hated Alfred. It's just that, when she heard that Bella was pregnant because the man was making himself angry. And in the end, I hated that guy. She does not accept that Bella should be pregnant because Alfred, moreover, they have not been bound in a valid marriage even though they are married religiously. And he was of course shocked to hear the news they had married. That's really embarrassing. And.. Disgusting.

As for Aleysia, she somehow wanted to help Bella. He really could not bear to see his mother's treatment of the blonde girl who could be said to be very similar to him. Aleysia thought their attitude would be good on Bella as well as Alfred. But now, they had embarrassed him for having a cruel family.

"This is your room for a while, Bella. Don't ever think you can escape from this villa. There will be many supervisors who will watch your movements here." Back Anita warns Bella and is only in the silent response of the blonde girl without noticing Anita talk. Makes the woman sigh while kneading her temple which suddenly throbbed pain.

"And no one helped him to get out. Understood?!" Anita took turns bullying her two daughters. Making Aleysia slightly surprised to the point of stepping back one step. But seconds later nodded.

Anita steps out leaving Bella in the room. Ashley and Aleysia approached the girl with different gazes.

"Bella?" Lirih Ashley's. Making Bella just glance cynically at the red-haired lady with her hard face. So did Aleysia. "I'm sorry we. Everything we do is for your own good. You have to understand that."

"Hmphh!! For the sake of what you said?!" Seloroh Bella smiled in disdain at the two. Making Ashley's face instantly hardened because of the emotion. "To me you are the DEVIL!! You know the devil, don't you?" Imbuh the blonde girl hissed loudly at the word demon.

Aleysia ducked regretting her actions. Right, maybe that name is appropriate for his family.

"BELLA!! Watch your talk! We do this because we love you."

"Bull–shitt!!" Bella's fizzle invites Ashley's growing emotions.

"Whatever you say, Bell. The alysia!! Come outside!" Ashley screeched in despair and sauntered away.

"Ah, y-yes sister!" Aleysia followed her brother away. He turned his head to look at Bella for the last time with a look of contrition filled with sorrowful eyes before actually leaving.

After the departure of Ashley and Aleysia, Bella immediately dropped on the king-size bed in the room. Empty views. His mind drifted back to the scene a few hours ago in the hospital.

"Alfred.. Why are you just quiet?" Sluggishly. Until unknowingly, a clear liquid dripped from his eye sieve. "Hurry and get me, Al." Please Bella. He*** the bed sheet is strong. Spreading his overflowing emotions.

***********

Helena and Gavyn help Alfred to return to the man's residence. Even Alfred now did not care anymore when the glasses he always wore in front of everyone was revealed. Showing a wounded expression on his face.

Helena was quite surprised when for the first time she could see the real face of the person she once loved was so very handsome without glasses. It's just that a small mole located on the lower left side of the man's lips is what might make the man even more attractive. Honey, now is not the right time to admire the figure of the man who is now beside him.

"Bella's." Alfred called Bella for the umpteenth time.

"Gavyn's. How'this? I can't bear to see Alfred depressed like this." Helena said to Gavyn who focused on driving Alfred's car.

For a moment Gavyn watched Alfred who was on Helena's shoulder. Patheticness her. He had never even seen Alfred this frustrated before. Is this how Alfred did it when the man already loved someone? It's lucky that Bella can get a guy like Alfred.

"Give Bella back, Ashley. I beg you." Back Alfred raved with a blank look without the slightest expression and emotion. This caused Helena to panic and anxious to see the terrible situation of Alfred without any passion.

"Alfred, hiks.. Hicks.." Sobs escaped from Helena's lips could not stand it. His heart was broken to feel how Alfred was now.

Talk for free. The man was like an undead who could not respond to the people who spoke to him in the slightest. All the man could say was one name. Bella´s.

"Gavyn's. How should we?"

Gavyn could only shake her head not knowing. He now even growled furiously swearing and berating the person who had made his friend lost his sanity.

But, wasn't the one who came was Chal Lincolnshire's uncle? So Bella still has something to do with the Lincolnshire family? Maybe not. But both women were.

"Fuck them!! You just calm down Alfred. We'll take Bella back from their hands." Gavyn tried to calm down. But the conditions will be serious.

Arriving at Alfred's residence, Gavyn and Helena help the man get out of the car to enter Alfred's residence. Gavyn sat Alfred on the living room couch. Helena went straight to the kitchen. Checking the refrigerator and making drinks also takes light snacks.

Gavyn could only silently watch Alfred's blank face of pity. To make it*** his fingers with hardened jaws held back emotions.

"Didn't the man with the woman look like Edward?" Helena chirps out from the inside and puts a tray containing three juices and a plate of pastries. Gavyn flinched her head with a brow.

While Gavyn was trying to recall the man Helena was referring to, the woman took a glass of juice and thrust it at Alfred.

"Drink first, Al." He helped Alfred. But the man still did not respond at all. The man remained silent with lips that often mentioned Bella's name.

Helena was tired. Why did that happen to Alfred? Although Alfred loved Bella, the man could not have taken advantage of her to obtain the treasure from Bella's parents who had taken care of her. If Alfred intends to take over the property of the Bella family, why would Alfred have to painstakingly take care of the blonde girl from being a toddler? Alfred just put the baby Bella into the orphanage and took Bella's property away. But what Alfred did was the opposite. With his affection and patience, the man who from childhood always wears glasses takes care of Bella who is still a baby. Take him anywhere he has an interest. Alfred never left Bella alone. Even if Bella was sick, Alfred chose not to go to school just to take care of the blonde girl. Then where can Alfred be called just using the Bella family? Alfred was even willing to suffer when Bella wanted something to do. When they can't eat, Alfred gives his rice to Bella and lies that he has eaten.

"Chal." Lirih Gavyn suddenly.

"Chal's? Who's she?"

Gavyn sighed for a moment before making a sound. "He's Uncle Mike's brother. Just like me." Pause for a moment. "It's no wonder his face is so familiar to me."

"But why is he just silent?" Helena wanted to know.

"A Lincolnshire is not a talkative person, Helena. I'm gonna try to find out about Chal Lincolnshire with the Bella family."

Gavyn notices Alfred. So did Helena who was increasingly unbearable.

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

Anita walks into an orange dress with short arms in a tosca. He smiled so happily as he continued walking towards the top floor where his nephew was.

Chequek!

"Bella! Look, what Anita's aunt brought you." Anita is cheerful. Lifting up the dress in her right hand.

But Bella did not welcome Anita's arrival. Never say, glance or look no. Bella still faithfully hugged her knees on her knees while walking the marble floor underneath without intending to turn to welcome Anita.

"Bella?"

Silent.

There was still no answer from the blonde girl. Anita slowly approached her nephew who was sitting on the floor behind the bed.

"I'm sorry auntie, Bella. Auntie didn't mean to oppose your happiness. But–" Anita sighed for a moment. Licking her lips while gently rubbing the back of Bella who is still at home with her position. "You know, Bell. Once more. Please forgive your aunt." Its effects.

Silence back.

Anita nodded in understanding. Maybe his nephew needs time alone. He better get out.

"Alright, auntie just wants to deliver this dress for you. Wear it for the show tonight. Auntie hope you're getting ready before seven in the evening. Aleysia will help you, later." Anita rubbed Bella's back. Scramble the woman's blonde hair and land a kiss of affection on Bella's head. Before he finally got up and turned away.

Anita looked at Bella for a moment with a sad look. Is he too hard? Anita held her eyeballs up. The woman prayed that what she did to Bella would not be wrong.

'Adel, I hope you agree with my decision'. Her inner self before Anita turned around shutting back Bella's room door.

After hearing the door close again, Bella began to raise her head slowly. Looking back to check the situation in his room then sighs in relief. But he then frowned confused to see the orange dress brought by his aunt on the mattress. Why did her aunt tell her to wear such a nice dress? The feeling is starting to feel bad.

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

"Where are we going, Mom. Until I have to wear this clove suit." Tukas Edward was quite surprised when Deana met him with a stel of Navy colored shirts.

Deana smiled warmly at her youngest son. "Your uncle Chal invited us to dinner at his villa, dear."

Obviously Edward was surprised when Deana mentioned a name that was not foreign to him. It was not that he was happy to be invited to dinner at his uncle's house that he had never met from his childhood. But because he was surprised to get an invitation from the family who just a few hours ago made his head want to break. Ah, what's that woman named Ashley planning to do again?

"It just so happens that we haven't seen your uncle and his family in a long time, right? We will meet them." Imbuh Deana made Edward just nod.

It's true, he doesn't really understand the family of his uncle Chal. The one who knew him better was Brandon. That was when her brother was still a toddler. He knows about Chal only limited from the story as well as the family photo. That said that his face was so very similar to his uncle's.

Almost half an hour the Bryans prepared themselves before they rushed in a car driven by Bryan himself. During the trip, none of them spoke.

Silent.

Only the sound of the car was heard. Bored of? Sure. But not for those who are descended from the Lincoln family. Peace is their top priority. But for them at this moment, many things suddenly disturbed their minds. So they prefer to dwell with their own minds to arrive at their goals.

Arriving in front of a suburban villa in Washington, the four then went down and were greeted by several men in black to deliver them inside.

"Welcome to everyone!!" The soft voice of a woman unraveled the hazel-eyed ombre. The other one is Anita. The woman smiled warmly at her guests accompanied by her husband Chal.

Deana returned Anita's smile no less warm. "During the time no see, Anita. How are you?"

"As you can see, Deana. I'm kind. I'm glad to see you again." Anita cried.

"Thank you for coming, Bryan. I'm glad to see your presence." Bryan only smiled faintly in response.

"Let's just go to the dinner table." Take Anita to guide Bryan and his family into their dining room.

But just a few steps, they were surprised by the presence of three women, one of whom was familiar to them walking with their head lowered and also a face that seemed to be cheering. It was as if there was no light inside the woman as they used to see. But, was that woman really the same woman as the woman they knew?
