Shackles Desire of Stepchildren
Bram's Return

Meera cannot be lied to. He knew exactly what Hans was feeling, because he felt it too.

Meera could see how heartbroken Hans was when their fraternity that initially seemed very close. Instantly changed, after the existence of a large wall in the midst of them that became a barrier for him.

Arriving at home, Meera and Hans immediately walked into the house. Bram was sitting in the family room watching television.

Unbeknownst to Hans and Meera, it turns out that Bram has been home since the afternoon. He deliberately did not want to attend the event, because Bram was still very hurt.

The hatred for his brother and also his former lover, is now burning. When Bram heard the sound of footsteps starting to walk closer to him.

Bram took a quick glance, seeing Meera and Hans from a distance still wearing full bridal attire. That's where jealousy makes Bram's heart very broken.

"Ekhem, happy newly married. But baby, get it the dirty way!" sindir Bram, keep staring at the television screen.

Meera and Hans, who heard a familiar voice, immediately stopped their steps. Then they looked at each other in a confused state.

"Bra-brams? You-you're home yet?" meera asked, smiling enthusiastically as she ran over to her.

From here, Hans can see how happy Meera is, when the man she loves is back home.

"Where have you been Bram, why haven't you been home for 3 days? Did you forget that today we're getting married?" meera said, directly sitting next to Hans in a state of worry.

Bram turned to look at the beautiful face of Meera who should have belonged to one, now has become the choose of another person, namely his own brother. .

Envy, disappointment, and heartache further encourage Bram to hate Hans and take Meera for granted.

"Bram, where have you been for 3 days? So what is it, why did you just go home today? So what's your reason for not attending our event?" hans asked, curious.

"Like it, who are you? Very cool, mendingan y'all go there. Take a clean shower, continue to perform the duties as a husband and wife!" bram answered with emphasis that always leads to avoidance.

"Bram!" hans asserted, when he heard Bram's answer increasingly uncontrollable. Like someone who doesn't understand manners.

"Have it done, don't go on. Better we all rest yes, the night is getting late. Not good, if you keep fighting like this" said Meera trying to calm her both.

"Cih, do not be pretentious to care about you the same cave. That's hypocritical!" sahut Bram, just go away in a state full of emotion.

Hanas, who had been trying to hold back the anger in his heart, was no longer. His hands clenched hard as his eyes stared at Bram's back like a delicious meal.

"Bram!" hans murmured, on the verge of an increasingly explosive rage in his heart.

Meera sees Hans' unstable reaction immediately embracing her arm, and makes Hans not so to step up to chase Bram.

Hans was startled, then looked at Meera who was currently staring at him. Meera looked at her husband full of pleas, so as not to further prolong the problem.

Meera feared that if a small debate between them, it would further disrupt their brotherly relationship. Up to the distance they should have covered, it even further increased.

"I beg you not to respond to his words, let him behave as he wishes. Because I'm sure one day, she'll be the Bram we know." Meera said, her eyes starting to glaze over.

"She's been outrageous, she shouldn't have said that to you. Yeah, okay. I know he's upset, he's angry, he hates us. Just, the way shouldn't demean you like this!"

"Daddy has always taught us to always respect a woman, no matter what the case may be. Whether we get angry or not, we don't hurt him. We are humbling ourselves!"

Hans tries to explain to Meera that what Bram has done is painful enough.

Although Hans knew that Meera did not mind, but Hans understood very well how fragile Meera's heart was when the person he loved said harsh words to him.

Until finally Hans relented, and obeyed Meera's words. If the two of them were to be even stronger, facing Bram's attitude could be even worse than this.

A few minutes Hans had already started to feel calm, making Meera release her hand with a slightly flushed facial expression.

Without lingering, Meera bouncily went to her room to clean her body. When all is done, Meera will go to her husband's room for the first time.

Hans gave a small nod, then stepped both feet towards his own room when he saw Meera had started to move away.
