Forced to Seize the Prospective Husband Brother
Chapters 77. Relaxed.

Aunty, although Ran already knows that Lerina is her biological mother, Ran does not change his supposed call. Lerina opened the rented door limply, she sat on the wooden chair wiping away the tears that kept coming out.

“Why? Why am I crying? Why am I hurt? Why ... why doesn't she call me mom?” Lerina covered her face, restraining the voice from being heard by Aldo.

Yeah, why? Why did Lerina ask as if she did not know the answer? He should have been self-conscious.—come in his difficult time only.

Then there was Aldo's coughing sound from the room, Lerina wiped away the tears, put on a mask before entering Aldo's room.

“Aldo,” call Lerina Ogre. Her tears fell again looking at the blood Aldo coughed up in his own hands. “We go to the hospital, yes?”

Aldo shook his head— wiped the remaining blood on his hands and lips using a washcloth. The sound of Aldo's breathing was difficult, but he kept trying to get the word out.

“No need, Ma. We where there is money.”

“Mama take care of that, you don't have to think about money. As long as you recover mom is willing to do anything.”

And again Aldo shook his head, he did not want to be a burden on their economy which is difficult now.

“We are going to the hospital now, the ambulance is coming soon.”

“Ambulance? Where do you get money?” Aldo's forehead frowned, without a second thought Aldo grabbed Lerina's bag. He unpacked Lerina's bag. Lerina wanted to retake but somehow her hands felt limp and unable so she was petrified only when Aldo got a signed check on behalf of Ranizi Liszila.

“A-what does this mean, Ma?” Aldo's voice trembled, he once told Lerina not to beg Ran, no matter how hard they were.

“Mama has no other choice, Do. No one wants to lend us money, and .. mama only thinks Ran.”

“Does he already know everything?”

“Iya.”

Aldo rolled his lips in. Segara Aldo picked up mobile—search for Ran's name in contact and sent a text message.

[Ran, don't take Mama from me. He's the only one I have now.]

A few minutes later the reply came in.

[She's your mother, what makes you think I'm gonna take her? Than me, you are the real child. Even though she didn't give birth, she took care of you from the baby. You love Aunt Lerina more than your own mother ‘kan, Aldo? I do too, I love Mama Salsa more because she is the woman I have called Mama for many years. He took care of me and raised me.]

Aldo cried reading a message from Ran. Yes, Ran is right. Although Salsa was favoritism, she managed to raise Ran with her other children. Aldo is lucky because Ran is not a woman who plays a lot.

One message came back from the same contact.

[Don't make him worry. Get well soon, my stepbrother.]

This time Aldo lifted his lips thinly, turned to Lerina who was downcast and said, “Is the ambulance still long, Ma?”

Lerina raised her head, her heart warmed to see Aldo's smile. Suddenly Lerina understood what Ran wanted, and the answer to why Ran still called her Aunt despite knowing their status. Ran wants Lerina to be Aldo's back, Ran wants Lerina's focus not to break. Ran is not angry, Ran is not vengeful, it's just that Ran knows who needs the real mother figure more.

Aldo is fragile now, Ran does not want to snatch anything from the man. After all Ran's life had been better, he had more than what he dreamed.

***

Guren, Ran, and one of their little angels are enjoying the summer breeze in the newly opened garden after a long time in the close.

“Why are you smiling, Ran,” as Guren looks at the phone screen. Guren is very possessive, he will always ask if Ran is holding a phone while typing, especially while smiling like that.

“Nothing,” indifferent Ran.

Infuriated by Ran choosing a phone over Guren or his son, Guren raised Zairin— to sit Zairin on Ran's thigh.

Zairin is 6 months old, of course he can sit down.

Ran's hand reflexively held Zairin, then he looked up at Guren who had been standing up. “Where to?” tanyakanya.

“Take laptop in the car.”

“Hais, no need.” Ran knows if Guren can penetrate his phone system from a laptop, then Ran hands his phone to Guren. “This, take.”

What Guren found was the contents of a message from Lerina that showed a photo of Aldo and Aldo's health information that had been separated from TB.

[Thank you, Ran. Thanks to getting the best treatment, Aldo is now cured. Aunty doesn't know what to thank.]

“Aldo is healed?”

“Iya, happy news yes, ‘kan?” Ran put on a jutek face. It's a bit as bad as sometimes with Guren being too possessive.

“Heheh, yes.” Guren sat back down, again taking Zairin who was in Ran's lap.

Ran then posted their photos to social media. In a short time Ran was flooded with positive comments. The average of them praised and so forth the expression of envy with the couple that was near perfect in their eyes.

“Have played his HP!” Guren snatches Ran—'s phone enticing Ran to lie staring at the sky together.

The blue sky turned out to be quite delicious in the face in a relaxed situation like this. Is this the feeling of Asuna sleeping under a tree in Sword Art Online seasons 1?

“What is nothing, Brother?”

“What?”

“Best wedding Sister Miztard, but we're instead relaxed here while the others are on busy.” Ran laughed a little. Guren invited him, even though there was a lot of Guren's work. Somehow is Grandpa's reaction now? There will definitely be another debate between Guren and Grandpa later.

“Leave it, I'm tired of telling this it.”

“Wicked, when fitting we marry, Brother Miztard light hand. While Brother Guren?”

“Leave it alone, instead I have prepared a special gift.”

Whether what kind of reward Guren prepared, from Guren's evil expression right now, Ran wasn't sure it was anything natural.

Seriate....
