She'S Mine
Brother Not Wife

Alex fell silent. He was still trying to digest what the stone said by Dad Kim.

"Where's Kim? You want to marry Keyra?" ask Dad Kim again. Because after a while, Alex just kept quiet and did not answer his question at all.

"Is Daddy joking?" alex asked with a confused face.

"Daddy you're not kidding Kikim," said Lisa's mom who was impatient to hear the son answer her husband's questions.

"Might not be mom. This must be kidding. Where might you want to marry Alex to someone you just met yesterday," Alex said with a faint smile and shook his head. Alex still thinks if the request of his parents is just a joke.

"But this is very serious Kim. We want you to marry Keyra" Dad Kim assured Alex.

"Why? Why would Alex marry her?" Alex asks what reason made Dad Kim and Mom Lisa ask him to marry Keyra.

"We want you to take care of Keyra. You know, because you saved Daddy, Keyra's father died" Dad Kim replied with a face full of guilt.

"Why should Alex take care of him? Does that girl have no brothers? Indeed in this world he only has Santosa sir?" alex asked who was upset by the reason of his parents.

Alex knows that his father feels guilty and must also feel he owes his life to the late Mr. Santoso. But what should he sacrifice by marrying the girl he even met yesterday.

"Keyra doesn't have any more family, son. He is an orphan at this time" Dad Kim replied with a sad face hinting that he still felt very guilty for making Key an orphan girl.

"Did he not have a grandparent, grandmother or aunt? And why do so many people have to have Alex look after him?" Alex massaged his forehead which suddenly felt throbbing at the request of his two masters which he thought was very unreasonable.

"There's no boy. Both of Key's parents had bodies in the orphanage since infancy. Key never knew who his grandparents were. Even during this time Key only lived with Mr. Santoso. Because her mother had already died while giving birth to her," replied Lisa's mother who was currently starting to shed tears. He really couldn't bear to see the poor girl. And they're the only ones Key has right now.

Alex is silent. Honestly, he felt sorry for Key's current condition. Still vividly illustrated in Alex's memory how hit Key when he found out his father died.

But as much as Alex's pity on Keyra did not make him obey Dad Kim and Mom Lisa's request to marry Keyra.

"I'm sorry Mom, but Alex still can't marry Key" Alex said firmly.

"But Kim, Mr. Santoso has already left Key to us," said Lisa's mom still trying to persuade Alex. "Why should you refuse to marry that girl? She's gorgeous. And mommy's sure she's good, too. Because his father was willing to sacrifice for your Daddy. Even though your Daddy and Mr. Santoso do not know each other at all," continued Lisa's mother.

"This mom is not a matter of being beautiful and not being beautiful. Or good and not good" Alex replied. "It's mom's wedding. Marriage is not for two days, but forever. And how Alex can marry a girl Alex doesn't love." Alex shook his head not understanding the way his parents thought.

"Alex knows Dad and Mom have promised Santoso to look after Keyra. But what is the need to marry Alex to her? Don't you?" Alex took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"If Dad and Mom want to take care of the girl, you can adopt her as your daughter and invite her to stay in our house" Alex said. "And Alex promised to take care of her like a sister looking after her sister. Not as a husband who takes care of his wife" he said again very firmly.

"But Kim......"

"That's Alex mom's decision. And Alex hopes you understand" Alex said, rising from his seat. He chose to go home first rather than here but was constantly urged to marry a girl he did not know at all.

"Kim, Kikim.... Mommy is not done talking," cried mom Lisa when she saw her only son coming out of the main door.

"Mom, let him go." Dad Kim holds Lisa back from the couch to chase Alex.

"But Dad...."

"Not forced." Dad Kim shook his head as a sign not to continue their intention to marry Alex and Keyra. "Don't force Alex again Mom. Besides, Mr. Santoso also did not ask Keyra to get married immediately. He just asked us to look after Keyra until he found the right match for his daughter" Dad Kim said.

"Yes Dad. But Mr. Santoso also asked us to decide which man is right to marry his daughter. Mommy's afraid of Dad, mommy's afraid we're wrong to choose the man who will be Keyra's husband later. And mommy was afraid that Mr. Santoso was disappointed in both of us if we chose the wrong partner for Keyra," said Lisa's mom.

"You don't have to worry mom. We'll take care of Keyra as best we can and we'll also find the right guy who can look after and love Keyra." Dad Kim tries to calm his wife. "Better now we meet Key. We invite him to stay with us" said Dad Kim and nodded his head at Lisa's mom.

The couple is now staring at the girl who is crying while hugging the picture frame on her chest.

Dad Kim walked over to Keyra and knelt down directly before the girl. "I'm sorry, son, because you lost your father" Dad Kim said as he lowered his head, he really could not bear to see Key's face at this time.

"Om not like this." Key tried to help Dad Kim stand up.

"Keyra, sorry about. Because of the carelessness when crossing the road, your father had to sacrifice to save om. If only wak-"

"Om don't go on" Key said, cutting off Dad Kim's words. "You don't have to feel guilty. Because om never asked Key's father to help om at that time. And Key believes, right now in heaven you must be happy because you can help me at that time."

"Keyra. I am grateful to have met such a great man like your father. Not only kind, he also managed to educate his daughter to be an extraordinary girl" said Dad Kim.

Mom Lisa walked over and dropped her body right next to Key. And slowly his hands stretched out to tidy up the strands of hair that covered Key's face and tucked them behind the girl's ears. "Keyra, from now on you want to stay with om and auntie?"
