Trapped in Brother Love
TCS 10'S

“Children of women *****, finally you still dare to work here?” mike asked as he passed Alice who had just finished buying coffee at the cafe. 

Alice swallowed her saliva with difficulty as Mike greeted her with a voice loud enough that perhaps enough had heard the disgusting phrase. 

Alice held the coffee cup in her hand with great difficulty, as now the gazes of the servants began to differ. He closed his eyes for a while, then chose to step away leaving Mike laughing after Alice had actually left. 

Alice drinks her coffee with a sore heart while keeping a record of the report that will be given to Mike's assistant later. At the desk there is already a stack of reports that have not been authorized because he had to double-check in a state of messy feelings. He took out a tissue, then began to wipe away his tears that suddenly piled up. 

“Hah, the son of the actor is here? Gosh, I think he grew up from a good family. It turns out that someone's appearance can indeed be deceiving, yes,” quipped a woman who had just entered the same room with Alice, who was just in the same room as Alice, both of her eyes stared at the cynical and disgusted as if Alice was the dirt that had to be thrown away along with the trash that was piling up every day. 

“Usually falling fruit will not be far from the tree. If his mother is a actor, automatically his son can also be an actor or a prospective actor,” scorn others. 

Once again Alice closed her eyes as her chest felt tightened by the taunts. He felt that his life in the office was more difficult and more and more days, the more he was not at home and wanted to resign rather than have to survive and destroy his mentality. 

Because she could not stand it, Alice immediately piled all her sheets on the table without caring about the confirmation that must be done seora, then she stepped quickly towards the bathroom, and then she stepped quickly towards the bathroom, seeing the many hateful gazes thrown at him. The spies they had were like knives that hurt him. Alice couldn't bear it until she went into the bathroom and started crying there. 

“No, I don't want to be like this either. I don't want to be a child of someone who snatches someone else's husband, but what can I do? I'm just a kid who can't choose to be born to parents who,” regrets. He sat on a closed toilet, hid his face on a bent knee and his sobbing began to sound sore. His chest again felt pain when the comments of employees who bullied him ringing in the head. 

“No, I'm not an actor. I'm not going to be like Mom,” hissed Alice. 

For a long time he cried in the bathroom, as if he did not dare to go out and face ridicule again. If he decides to come out, then it is the same that he will be pounced on by the reality that makes him cry again. Their taunts weren't finished until Alice quit this job. 

When he got home half an hour later, he saw Esme sitting in the living room reading the latest women's magazine. In front of him was a box of unopened pizzas. “Tumben once you get home at night,” Esme comments when she sees Alice who just arrived at the door. 

“Mother, I beg you we better just get out of this house, Mom. I don't want to stay here. I'll also find another job. I beg you, Ma'am,” Alice said as she walked over to Esme and sat down in front of her mother. 

Esme took down her magazine, looking at Alice with a look of disbelief. His head shook strongly. “No, what are you saying? You want to get out of this house after I meet you with your father? Just be right. Alice, forget the word ‘back’ because we already have no place to live anymore. Our old house has been sold,” cetusnya while putting a magazine in the next seat. 

Not finished his fear of being treated, he was surprised by Esme's statement that somehow had sold their old house. “Mother, don't lie. Please, I can't stay here. Mom, this isn't our place. We better get out and never set foot here again. If indeed our house has been sold, is there no other way for us to keep going, we can contract a new house, it is better than here, Mom, I beg.” Rinaya fell again, because Alice could no longer hold back her tears. He really can't imagine how every day becomes a bully of office people and Mike. 

“What happened to you? Did anyone hurt you at the office? If anything, it's better to just be pureed and I'll ask your father to hire a lawyer,” Esme said. “Wake, Alice. It is better to eat than expect the impossible. It's been nice living here, but you want to go back to the old days that even Mom never wanted in the slightest,”. Esme changed her sitting position, looked at Alice annoyed, then stood up and tidied up her clothes which seemed to be still very new. 

“Mother, I beg.” Again Alice uttered it with a head position that was getting bowed, like someone who would prostrate. 

Esme's two hands crossed forward as soon as she saw Alice who was trying harder. “Once Mom says no, then the answer is still no. If there must be someone out of this house, of course, it is not us, but Raina and Mike who must lift their feet,”. 

Raina, who had just come out of the room and passed into the front of the living room, overheard Esme saying. Instantly his blood immediately felt boiling and he immediately stepped towards Esme and her son while carrying his anger that had reached the top. “What did you say? Out out? If anyone comes out it's me and my son? You are a shameless woman, Esme! Where is your pride as a woman? You are just hitchhiking in this house and have no right to evict the owner from it,” Raina jolted. His neck was raised, his face was flushed red, revealing that he was very angry with Esme's words. 

Alice closed her eyes, then stood up. He knew that the situation was starting to go awry, but he couldn't stop them. 

“Don't you ever dare say that again, or I will make you both get out of this house first and be a jerk out there,” snapped Reina again, saying, for the second time he attacked Esme.
