Trapped in Brother Love
TCS 46'S

Mike is in his room, he just keeps thinking about how to make Alice's plan to move house fail, because Mike will never let Alice out of his house. Whatever happened, even Esme would definitely not agree with Alice's intentions. But Mike must plan something so that his rejection does not invite suspicion from Haris and Esme.

"I'll make sure you never leave this house, Alice," said Mike.

The waiter tells him that dinner is ready, so Mike decides to go downstairs. He will discuss plans to move Alice to her new home. What a great idea.

Everyone had gathered, and Mike began to steal a glance towards Alice who was only focusing on the food on her plate. He had to go over it right now, for Esme to know his daughter's intentions.

"Hmmm .. You seriously want to move house. Alice?" mike began the conversation.

Haris and Esme were surprised, while Alice had expected that Mike would discuss the matter in front of her parents, Alice was calm and she just nodded her head.

"Why should I move? Do you feel uncomfortable living here?" asked Haris, he forgot if Alice had said before that she would find a place to stay so apply for leave to him directly.

"No, dad. I just want to live independently, didn't I already say when I applied for leave to dad a few days ago?" Alice reminded Haris, as it seemed that the man had forgotten what Alice had said.

"Ah, yes. I forgot, if you want to study independently. As long as you're happy and comfortable, I support you." Haris smiled in response to her daughter's wishes, Haris felt no problem because it wasn't bad at all.

Esme immediately reacted otherwise, if Haris agreed. But not with him. How could Alice have such a stupid mind?

"Mom doesn't agree, don't act stupid by getting out of this house. What this house lacks, all the necessities are available. Even for safety you're guaranteed." Esme said her opinion, and already know if it leads to all the luxuries that exist in this house.

Mike felt that with Esme's refusal, the woman would definitely not allow her daughter to leave the mansion. You matre woman, Mike thought. But this time Mike got lucky because of the rejection from Esme.

"Your mother was right, you're a woman. And out there it's very unsafe for a girl like you. As a sister, I also objected to your decision to move house, after all if we stay here, we can leave and go to work together, so you are safe. But if you stay outside I can't guarantee it, and I'll feel guilty if something bad happens to you. I'm right, aren't I?" Mike acted as if he was a good older brother, asking Esme for approval by saying so.

"Of course, what Mike said is true. She's the sister who's always gonna look after Alice. So forget about your planned move, Alice." Esme supports what Mike just said.     

Mike felt victorious, as Alice would not be able to possibly fight arguing with her mother. Just see later, whether Alice will continue to impose her wishes. Or just follow her mother's request.

"No, Alice. Understand, you can move out of this house if you get married, and the man who will be your husband will take you to his house. Then you can get out of this house, please understand our concerns about your safety." Mike spoke meekly, as if completely against his sister's wishes.

"Mother also still won't let you out of this house, you'll stay in this house, period. No more rebuttal. Understood!" Esme gave an ultimatum, she said firmly. Can't be fought.

Alice was annoyed that only Haris agreed with her wishes, then Alice stood up and went to her room. He is fed up with Mike's behavior that seems to show his concern, even though the reason Alice left the house was because of Mike.

"I'll go to Alice's room, I'll try to talk and persuade her to understand why we don't allow it." Mike was very attached to both of his parents.

Esme and must agree and ask Mike to persuade Alice, because they both do not know about the relationship between Mike and Alice.

Alice immediately cried as soon as she reached the room, she felt angry at Mike who was being nice. He was performing in front of his parents. Even Haris and Esme don't know anything about her relationship with Mike, so it's hard for Alice to say about the reason she insists on getting out of the house.

Mike leaves the dining table, and follows Alice, who has entered his room. When Mike arrived at Alice's room, how much his heart ached to see Alice crying. 

"Alice, try to understand. I forbid you because I'm afraid that if something bad happens to you, so does your Mama. She must have been worried when her son lived outside, while in this house alone everything was available." Mike walked into Alice's room.

Mike spoke softly, as he was really feeling anxious about Alice. Moreover, with Mike's feelings so deep for Alice, it was difficult for Mike to show his good attitude in front of Alice, because the events some time ago made Mike feel guilty. Mike was also sad to see Alice crying.

"Stop all your bullshit, Mike. Don't make jokes like you care and worry about me, why else would you act like me, and what evil you do is ruin my life and my future." Alice yelled, she really felt fed up with Mike's pretentious attitude in front of her parents, as if she didn't feel that all this mess was due to her actions.

The two argue strongly, Alice who accuses Mike who is playing the show. Mike convinces Alice that he cares about her.

"I'm not doing a show, Alice. I'm worried about you, I'm sincere Alice, I don't want you to move out of this house." Mike still spoke softly, so that Alice's emotions did not explode.

"Liar." Alice spoke in a stern tone, and did not believe Mike's sincerity.
