Trapped in Brother Love
TCS 62

Esme still with her drama pretending to feel bad about yesterday's events, there was nothing she could do to show and seek attention from Harris other than to remain silent, her face withered and sour. Exactly the person who is down and not excited. Haris realizes, he still understands that Esme is hurt too bad for what happened to Alice.

Esme was more silent at breakfast, she was still shocked by the incident and also the reality of what Mike had done to Alice. Had to see the face of his wife who just looked down without saying anything.

"I have to keep playing this drama, until later when the situation has calmed down. It was only then that I would return to acting as usual, to convince Haris that I was very disappointed by Alice's attitude that covered her relationship with Mike." Esme muttered as she went down the stairs leading to the dining room where breakfast had already been prepared by the waiter.

Esme starts to act quiet and shows that today she is not excited, the woman goes down first and leaves Harris still preparing in her room. Since last night, Esme deliberately inhabited Harris and chose to sleep first when the man had just returned home.

Haris follows her downstairs and Esme is already in the dining room and is waiting for her, but must not see Alice. She thought her daughter was still in the room preparing to leave for work. Haris sits in the chair she used to sit in when she was in the dining room, Esme provides and prepares breakfast for her husband by locking her mouth. Haris saw this but he no longer needed to ask why Esme was silent.

"Where's Alice, why doesn't she look at breakfast?" Haris dizzy looking for his daughter because usually at this hour the woman is already sitting with him for breakfast.

Esme did not answer, at this time as if she showed in front of the day that she was reluctant to discuss about Alice and Mike. That's why I asked where Alice was going. No response from his wife.

Haris thought it was natural that his response was still like that, because he must still be injured and also disappointed in Alice. Hari also could not force his wife to behave normally while her heart was hurt.

"Please call Alice, tell her breakfast is ready." Haris calls out to his servant to call Alice.

A woman who was a servant in the house immediately nodded her head and went to the top floor where Alice's room was located, the woman continued to knock on Alice's bedroom door but there was no answer from inside. Feeling no response, the waiter went downstairs and told Alice not to answer.

Paris simply nodded her head and asked the waiter to resume his work. Haris also thinks that Alice might need some time alone so she lets her daughter shut herself in the room.

"I'm leaving now, if I'm tired, keep resting in my room. If there's anything call me immediately." Haris kissed his wife's forehead after which he left the house to head to the office.

After making sure that Haris had left the house, Esme decided to return to her room pretending to rest when she wanted to enjoy her own time and also enjoy her victory. Mike got out of his house.

"Are you deliberately turning off the phone to calm down? If indeed it can help you eliminate the sadness caused by yesterday's incident then I don't need to worry about it at all. I also hope that you can quickly return cheerful like normal days." Mike finally rethink that Alice is indeed taking time alone to calm down over the incident last night.

As much as possible Mike thinks positively about Alice's phone that until now could not be contacted, however, the incident last night must have made Alice's heart hurt. Seeing himself being scolded by Esme and being driven out by Haris from his own home.

A day at the office makes Haris feel tired because all his energy and mind is focused on solving his family problems, he recalled a threatening message that an intimate video between Mike and Alice would soon be shared if Haris did not hand over the hotel's shares to the man. Haris also did not know who this unknown person had dared to threaten him.

Haris' body and mind feel tired so he wants to quickly get home and talk to Alice again about his relationship with Mike, Haris could not let this problem continue to drag on until he could find a solution as well as a way out.

Esme prepares a change of clothes for her husband, then she goes down first to check whether the waiter has served dinner or not? Esme's attitude is still the same as it was this morning, she is more silent and Haris understands her and does not want to press or force Esme to no longer be so moody. Because as a mother, of course, Esme felt sad for the great calamity that befell her daughter.

"Is Alice still not out of her room?" Haris asked the waiter who had been home all day.

"Yes, sir, since the morning Miss Alice has not come out of her room, even the food that was deliberately placed in front of her bedroom door is not touched at all." The waiter replies and also tells Haris about Alice not coming out of her room for a second.

It was dinner time, but Alice still did not want to get out of her room and locked herself away from last night. Haris is worried that something bad has happened to her daughter, without saying anything else Haris decides to head to Alice's room and asks that she be willing to open the door and have dinner together.

"I had to break down the door of his room, because he hadn't spoken at all when I called him." Haris is getting ready to take a swing to break down the door of his daughter's room because he feels anxious with Alice who has not been out of the room all day even the woman did not answer her call.

"Hopefully you're okay, I'm very worried. Because you've been shutting yourself all day, '" murmured Haris.

 Haris let out all his strength then stomped his body against Alice's bedroom door. He did it over and over again so that the door of the room could open and should be able to know what happened to his daughter.
