Brother'S Obsession
Explanation of Thalia

"But why did Keenan give me the ring?" Thalia asked innocently again.

Keenan breathed a rough breath. Either his stepbrother was stupid or innocent. Why do I still have to ask? Obviously they will get married.

"We're going to marry Thalia. There's no way I didn't buy you a ring to propose to you, right?" said Keenan in an annoyed tone.

"But I don't love Brother Keenan. I'd better give this ring back to Brother."

"Don't make you angry, Thalia!" Said Keenan who is now getting upset with the answer from his stepbrother.

Thalia shook her head. "I don't want to wear this ring, sister" he replied

"Don't play with me, Thalia. Or the gun that I used yesterday for Axel Dirgantara." threatening Keenan.

"I beg you, no, brother. Don't do anything to Axel."

"Looking at your reaction it seems like you really like Axel Dirgantara. Why do I feel angry?"

"No, Brother. I'll take the ring." he said.

Keenan's eyes seemed to sparkle as if he regained his happiness after hearing the reception. Keenan faced towards Thalia. He looked into Thalia's eyes. There is no visible lie there. This is purely the will of Thalia's heart, he thought.

"This is what you really want, right?"

Thalia nodded. "But I beg you brother. Please, don't ever hurt Axel. He's innocent."

At once Keenan's smile faded. Keenan closed his eyes for a while and then exhaled. "Ah, Brother is quite disappointed to hear that. You should have said it because of love. But in fact want to go back to save the damn man," said Keenan.

"I'm sorry, Brother." Thalia lowered her head in fear.

"It's okay, okay. Brother understands. Love does need a process, right?"

Thalia was silent, she did not answer her brother's words.

"Remember, don't let go of this sister's gift ring, you understand." Keenan and Thalia just nodded their heads in response.

"Ah, this is just my good future wife" said Keenan smiling happily. Then, continue on his way home.

Tonight Thalia could not sleep, she stared at the beautiful diamond ring in her hand. Thalia exhaled. For a lifetime, this was the first time Thalia had seen a diamond ring coiled around her finger. If all women would be happy to get diamonds. Unlike Thalia who now looks confused. Yes, Thalia felt confused herself with the behavior of her stepbrother who seemed to have no fatigue always chasing her.

In dreams, Thalia. One day she will marry a handsome prince and love him so much? The truth is Thalia didn't get that. Not that his brother was not handsome, of course the man had a face like a Greek god. Handsome and powerful. His half-brother can be said to be the man who became the dream of all women. However, Thalia still considers Keenan as her brother. Even after Keenan took away her chastity, Thalia was always in the shadow of fear.

Then Thalia pulled the blanket up high, her room light was off. He closed his eyes but he also heard the sound of footsteps approaching him at this moment.

"What have you hidden from Mother, Thalia? Why are you so alone now? Why would... Why do you feel like there's something else with you, baby?" Sobs Vina who now rubbed her daughter's cheeks.

Thalia wanted to scream at this moment. Hearing her mother cry she also wanted to cry at this time.

How can he avoid the harsh reality that has happened to him.

"You're the only hope Mother, baby. Mother will take care of you as much as possible, dear." said Vina, peeping her daughter's cheek and gently rubbing her daughter's hair before she left and closing the door to Thalia's room.

Thalia opened her eyes, she opened her blanket and sat down leaning back. Thalia removed the ring in her fingers and threw it away. And Thalia was crying in frustration and as if there was no other way right now.

Nature works together to destroy it. The cold air made him feel the nightmare that always haunted him.

***

This morning Thalia was in the bathroom, and Vina's step was now in her daughter's room.

The woman placed her daughter's favorite avocado juice on the nightstand right next to Thalia's bed table.

"What's that?" muttered Vina asked

The woman grabbed a glittering object on the floor. He grabbed her quickly and narrowed his eyes as he saw a beautiful diamond ring and a carving of a name.

"This is a very nice diamond ring? Let me see whose name is on this carving?" muttered Vina squinted both her eyes and saw her clingy.

"Keenan?" vina Gumam. Full of question marks in his heart. "How can there be a ring belonging to Keenan here? What's more, this diamond ring? But this, for the size on a girl's finger..."

Vina placed the diamond ring on the nightstand and she turned to the bathroom door. Where Thalia just came out of the bathroom.

Thalia now looked at her mother who was now looking at her from top to bottom.

"What's up, Bund?" tanya Thalia looked at him again.

"Why is there a diamond ring engraved with the name Keenan here?" ask Vina to her daughter.

Thalia turned to the direction her mother showed her and the diamond ring her mother meant.

Thalia also wanted to confess. But the truth is it won't be easy.

"Oh.. That's. Yesterday Brother Keenan stopped by here. He said he wanted to surprise his girlfriend, Bund. And for a while Brother Keenan left it to Thalia." said Thalia gave a false explanation so that his mother did not suspect him.

Instantly Vina nodded - nodding her head. He rubbed Thalia's cheek and kissed her cheek.

"Good girl Mother. Be a great kid, baby. About your matchmaking with Axel Papa and Mommy will not force." he said by looking sincere Thalia.

Thalia remained silent. He was confused as to what to say at the moment. Thalia crumbs his fingers, but the bad reality will be revealed if one day he will choose Axel. And Thalia also did not want to see if Axel was hurt by jealousy from his half-brother.

"I'm sorry, Bund." said Thalia.

"It's okay, honey. If you are not ready for that match. Papa and Mommy don't force."
