Hello Brothers: The Prince of Twins
Chapter 153 Keeping the Promise

Whatever it was he had to make a decision, as difficult as anything he had to be able to run even though as a result the soles of the feet would be filled with blood from open wounds.

The consequences he took now made him sit in the dining room just with Alisya, as the waiter poured water into his glass slowly he asked.

"Where's aunt Aeda?"

"The lady kept refusing to get out of her bed, so Aeda's mother had been there this morning to take care of her" the maid said.

Chad nodded and said nothing more, seeing his sad face made his Eyebrows tell all the servants to leave to let the two of them.

"There will definitely be a way, I'm sure grandma will return to normal again" Alisya said trying to cheer.

"For over twenty years these eyes have only seen the goodness in grandma, just as you have today" Chad said, staring at Alisya.

"But in the eyes of the Hermes family there are some unforgivable mistakes, I'm sincere about the punishment and I hope you are the same" he continued.

Alisya never knew what the dispute was between the two camps, just that hearing Chad's words made her quite sad because she had been given the order not to expect Joyi's recovery.

Without spending his breakfast Chad goes to the office, taking back his abandoned job.

Inhaling a new air in his life he now competes healthily with the Hermes group led by Shigima, spending time in peace with little punishment.

Time just passed without any other surprises, this made Chad more focused on accompanying Joyi aside from her work at the office.

"Chad.. your lover is coming" Alisya said as she opened the door.

Soon Chad closes his book and goes out, finding Ima coming with Agler certainly makes him wonder because rarely the brothers visit together.

"Is there something?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, Hans is having a little party for his birthday and is inviting us" Agler replied.

Chad nodded while Ima approached him while carrying the invitation letter.

"We go together?" ask again.

"Of course, my sister and I will pick you up later" said Ima.

"Then let's find a good gift" Alisya asked.

Smiling, they left together.

The party was held at the Hermes residence, although the event took place later tonight but the servants had prepared everything early on.

"Amelia, can you come to my room for a second?" violet asked in the midst of Amelia preparing a party.

"Oh, yes" replied Amelia a little astonished.

Taking a step to follow Violet who was walking back to her room, Amelia was quite shocked to see the dresses lined up inside Violet's room.

"Wow..your collection is amazing" he said amazed.

"All this I've never used, some gifts from my father and mother" he said.

Although both the daughter-in-law of the Hermes family, Amelia is rarely bought clothes by Jack or Jessa, that was because Amelia had never asked and was not the type of woman who liked to go out to socialize with the others.

This made her a little jealous of Violet, naturally because Violet had always managed to obtain all of these things easily.

"I have no bad intentions, it's just that my stomach is getting bigger and doesn't fit into all these dresses. So I think because tonight is your son's party maybe you want to be his queen, because if that's what I've made sure I'm the one who has to look the prettiest"

"You...gave this dress to me?" ask Amelia not to believe it.

"If you don't mind" said Violet a little worried Amelia would be offended.

"I'm not Violet's stupid! there's no way I'm going to reject her" replied Amelia who made Violet smile.

Relieved because of her good intentions in welcoming Violet also issued a jewelry in the form of earrings to show Amelia.

"Whatever dress you choose these earrings will be beautiful in your ears, will you try it now?"

"Violet is too much" said Amelia hesitated.

"Why? you don't like him?"

"I like it, but a dress is enough"

"Come on Amelia.you will be her queen, after all you are Hermes' daughter-in-law because that is a quickness for you" Violet persuaded.

Whatever Amelia said to refuse was not successful, Violet was so adamant that she finally accepted the gift.

Amelia happily went back to researching the dress she had chosen and the earrings inside her room, smilingly staring at the reflection of herself in the mirror.

"What a beautiful dress, when did you buy it?" ask Shigima.

"Violet gave it, look at these earrings. Isn't this beautiful?"

"really? these earrings must be expensive" Shigima commented.

"Of course, you know what Violet looks like.she won't have any cheap stuff" she said, staring back in amazement at the earrings.

"seen? Violet isn't as bad as you think, she's just more ambitious" Shigima said.

"Don't try to persuade me, however, I know better the bad of a woman, especially our position as son-in-law" said Amelia scowled a little.

But secretly he agreed to the remark, indeed Violet was a good person. Maybe because their backgrounds are so different that their attitudes are so different, maybe also because of the influence of the fetus in Violet's stomach that makes it even better.

Whatever the reason Amelia was grateful to be able to get along with Violet, that way she could return to prepare the party with happiness.

While the party owner Hans was busy himself at the hotel, he asked for a VIP room to be decorated in such a way.

He also ordered a cake and the best wine there is, everything should be ready in just a few hours.

"Sir, everything you asked for is done" said one waiter.

"Thank you, you can go" he said.

The waiter also gestured to his subordinates to leave the place, after the room was quiet he took a phone call to contact someone.

"Hello." said someone on the phone.

"Reah... Are you ready?" tanyakanya.

"I'm already on my way, five more minutes I'll be there"

"Alright then I'll wait for you"

"Yes, I'll see you later."

The call died, and Hans impatiently left the room to wait in the lobby.

On a clear day, without waiting for long a taxi stopped right in front of the hotel door. Reah came out with a direct look at Hans, smiling Hans was still running to greet him.

"You're coming too"

"Is my appearance exaggerated?" ask Reah worriedly.

Hans also stared from the head where Reah's hair which is usually in a messy pigtail is now neatly arranged, then his usually sweaty face now looks fresh and beautiful. Likewise with her usual body in a shirt and armor wrap now with a beautiful dress featuring her perfect curves.

"You look perfect" he said.

Hahahaha

"You look beautiful Reah, believe in yourself, "said Hans who could not help but laugh at the anxious face.

"All right, let's go" he asked.

Without shame Hans grabbed Reah's hand to hold her, of course it made Reah shocked. Especially when they walked into the hotel all eyes were on those who made her face red with embarrassment, but she also could not cover up the pleasure of feeling Hans act like her boyfriend.

"We arrived" Hans said right at the door of a room.

"there? your birthday party inside?" ask Reah because he thinks the party will be on the roof.

Hans nodded, with a slight hesitation Reah turned the knob and went inside. His eyes that had not been confident since were immediately spoiled by the beautiful scenery and romantic, amazed at the decoration in the room he entered slowly.

"What do you think?" ask Hans.

"It's amazing" she replied.

"But Hans, where is everyone? don't tell me the party's over" Reah asked when she realized one oddity.

"At home, they're still preparing the party"

"What do you mean?"

"My birthday party will be held tonight at home, so everyone is still getting ready"

"What's? then.. this. "ask Reah increasingly do not understand.

Hans eyes turned serious, slowly he approached Reah to stand right in front of him in close proximity.

"I'm keeping my promise to you, I can't love you. At least I can't. Love me like a thorn that has been stuck in your heart, I will reply as a submissive" said Hans.

Reah's mind had opened, he already remembered Hans' promise that he would give a real birthday party to pay for the help he gave back then.

Without warning the tears just dripped, blending the beautiful dress she had long prepared and removing the makeup that beautified her face.

"When I have forgotten, why did you keep your promise? don't you realize all this just reminds me of your cruelty?" ask Reah whimpering.

Hans was fixated, he didn't think Reah's response would be like that.

"What if I am tormented by my own love? even though I know in your eyes I have no meaning, even if you only come when in trouble but I am grateful. Let me with my love, with my hope that may never come true, with my Hans."

Reah took one step closer to Hans so they could feel each other's breath.

"I will keep fighting in my love story, like I fought with my magic on the border. Other days, there is no need for a beautiful party. Just hold my hand sincerely even if the feeling you have is just a friend, it's better than you turning your heart off" he said.

Reah wiped his tears, without a smile even his eyes were full of hate that he left the room.

While Hans, who had been frozen since, started to move, smiled bitterly to laugh at his stupidity.

Languidly, without being able to improve his situation he chose to go home. He shut himself up in his room until the preparations for the party were finally finished, although he was not excited he still came out smiling for everyone.

Especially for Amelia who already looks beautiful like a queen, as well as special guests like Chad and others.

The party was only attended by family and close people, one by one Hans looked at them while his heart began to be grateful.

At the peak of the show, Hans saw a smile on their faces, after the departure of Jessa and Jack, there was happiness that he could not explain emanating on each of them.

Shigima, Amelia, Ryu, Violet, Reinner, Chad, Ima, Agler, Alisya, Manager San, Kyra, Tianna, Shishio, and Nick. Waiting for him to finish uttering hope before then slightly bending down to blow the candle.

Phew......

Prok prok prok

"Happy birthday son" Shigima said.

"Thank you dad" he said.

One by one of them also congratulated, Hans greeted them with thanks. Music was turned on, the sign of a real party was just starting.

"You okay?" amelia asked clearly seeing that something was wrong with her son.

"Of course, mom, this is the best day for me" she said slowly.

"Reah.". " cried Ima suddenly who made all eyes on her, as well as Hans.

Finding himself in the limelight made Reah nervous, he could only smile stiffly while Ima approached him.

"You coming too?" asked Ima cheerfully as usual.

"Ya, aku... harus memberikan kado kepada Hans" jawabnya pelan saat matanya beradu pandang dengan Hans.

Ignoring Amelia Hans walking over to Reah, understanding the situation Ima immediately went to give her privacy.

"Reah." call him.

"I forgot to give you a gift, sorry I just left"

"Oh it's okay, it's my fault" Hans said.

Huft...

"Why?" hans asked puzzledly as Reah chuckled as if something was amusing.

"You are very honest, even from your tone I already know your heart" he said.

"I'm sorry that I got carried away with emotions, I shouldn't have acted that way. You have good intentions, even this is your birthday as well" he continued.

"I was a fool, I didn't think it would hurt you" Hans said regretfully.

"Yeah, you've always been stupid" Reah said.

Hans stared at the bright smile on the girl's face, smiling until her mood improved.

"Why stand here? enjoy the party" said Amelia as she approached.

"Eh. i-iya" replied Reah nervously as this was the first time they had met after just passing each other.

"Mom, this is Reah, he's my friend at the Academy" Hans said.

"A knight, your name I've heard before. It's an honor to meet you"

"God you're overdoing it, I'm not the one who deserves this respect" Reah said quickly as he felt awkward.

"There's nothing superfluous, an alpha like you is a star for the Hermes family. Even though we did not go directly to the Academy, we knew that the great students there were also knightly lunge, having you as Hans' friend is a fortune to us especially if your relationship is more than that"

"What?" ask Reah in shock.

"Mother?" hans asked the same surprised.

"What's? I only speak my mind" said Amelia who made Reah bow her head in shame.

"Yes, please enjoy the party" said Amelia while smiling because she managed to tease them.

Reah only dared to raise her head after Amelia left them, still staring at Amelia who was walking away she said.

"Oh Hans. It looks like my hopes of getting you are up 50%"

Hans was silent for a moment, but when they looked at each other a small laugh also warmed the atmosphere that had frozen.
