Trapped in Brother Love
TCS 53S

Any way to bury the carcass, it will definitely smell too. Mike's proximity to Alice no one suspected, for outsiders it is natural because Mike is Alice's brother. Not so for Esme. All this time he did not seem to care about his daughter, but as a mother of course Esme had a very sharp sensitivity, when something was wrong according to the eyes of her own glasses.

Like when he went out of the room to go to the kitchen because he forgot to bring drinking water, Esme stood on the stairs, deliberately not continuing her steps. He saw Mike who had just come out of Alice's room. Esme's forehead frowned staring in wonder at what Mike was doing in Alice's room. But Esme ignored him too much, she walked back and entered the room.

Esme thinks that Mike is Alice's older brother, so there may be something to tell Alice about the sudden job, so she has to come to Alice in her room.

"Here it is, what if a brother enters his sister's room? Isn't that natural?" murmured Esme who returned to lay down her body and fell asleep.

The incident was forgotten, because Esme did not see anything suspicious. So he went back to his usual attitude, Mike and Alice going out and coming home from work together, just like they do every day.

"How do you do Mike? Is everything all right?" Haris asked, they were having breakfast together.

Mike put down his spoon, staring at Haris. Then use his head. She showed a smile as a sign of respect for her father.

"Currently, Dad." Short answer Mike.

While Esme did not say anything, after breakfast the three men left for the office. Esme notices Mike's sweet attitude towards Alice. Very different, not like a brother to his sister, but a man to the woman he loved. Esme's heart began to feel restless, she suspected that between Mike and Alice there was something. But again the subconscious Esme reminded, if it is not true.

"If you're still around the house, don't be that sweet. I think Mama's watching us while you're grabbing my waist, Mike." Alice reprimands Mike's attitude as if he forgot if he was at home.

"I forgot, sorry. It was just a reflex move so you you wouldn't keep your distance from me, so I grabbed your waist to get closer to me." Mike also just realized that his attitude has been delayed.

"But, right. Because it's still in the house area, so I try to keep my distance." Alice snorted in annoyance, as she was really worried that Esme had already started to become suspicious of the actions of the two.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Alice." Mike regrets.

Both of them are silent, because Alice is still upset with Mike. While Mike feels guilty, he can't help but be nice to Alice, he forgets that his relationship is hidden from everyone including his parents.

While Esme still could not find an answer to the suspicion and anxiety of his heart, inexplicably he could not calm down. Moreover, Alice was immediately shocked as Mike's hand hugged her waist, then looked towards Esme who was looking at the scene from the door. Alice's face turned pias, like a man caught stealing.

"No, they're brothers. It's impossible to go that far, right," Esme murmured as if her suspicions had led to an abnormal close relationship between Mike and Alice, like a sister.

Alice walks into the house first, leaving Mike who just got out of his car. The man looked at Alice and understood that if Alice was upset and sulking, Mike had to immediately return Alice's joy. Mike can't and can't be treated like this with Alice.

Esme had to ask about her suspicions, because she had caught Mike out of Alice's room several times during the night, so Esme would ask him at dinner.

"What do you do these nights in Alice's room?" ask Esme to investigate.

They were all having dinner together, so Esme said it was a good time to answer suspicions about Mike and Alice's closeness that Esme found unnatural.

"I'm just making sure that Alice's balcony window is closed, because she always forgets to close it." Mike replied casually, without caring if Esme looked at him suspiciously.

Haris did not respond, while Esme did not believe Mike's answer. Where is it possible that almost every night Mike came to Alice's room just to make sure the window of the room that he said often forgot to close, can not be reminded via message without having to enter the room Alice?.

After dinner, Alice and Mike sat in the backyard. Both of them were equally restless after hearing Esme's question. Meksi Mike answered calmly and lied, but still for Alice if her mother had felt that between and Mike was hiding their closeness.

"How is this, Mike? Really, I'm so scared. If mom would have known about our relationship." Alice was anxious, so she played her finger to slightly reduce her anxiety.

"Actually, I'm scared too. Moreover, Esme's eyes looked at me as if I was confirming whether my answer was correct or was lying, even though I had answered calmly. But still Esme certainly wouldn't be able to believe it just like that, because she often caught me coming out of your room."

"But I also can't let you go or end our relationship, I love you so much, Alice. And don't want to lose you." Mike said softly, his love is so great for Alice. Even though he knew that the relationship between the two was forbidden.

"We'd better keep our distance for a while, not to go to my room at night, because I'm afraid you'll see her again. We can go somewhere else to meet or pass the time, so they don't know about our relationship." Alice makes a proposal, all for the common good.

"Alright, from tomorrow we'll keep our distance. I promise I won't make Esme suspicious again. Because I want to stay as I am now. Loving you is the most beautiful thing in my life." Mike looked at Alice adoringly.

"Go in there, it's night. Don't forget to close the window" said Mike, stroking Alice's head gently..

Alice nodded and went inside, she walked up the stairs leading to her room. While Mike was still in the back garden of the house, he made sure to also convince himself, if this decision was the best way, so that Esme would no longer be suspicious of the two of them.
