Trapped in Brother Love
TCS 8'S

Mike is already wearing a black suit with a dark yellow tie. He hugged his bag, then exited the room when he was ready. But before leaving, he remembered that there was one thing he had to do. 

The man circulated his gaze in the living room, looking for one of the servants he had to call to perform a special task. 

“Bi,” call Mike on a middle-aged woman who looks just about to pick up those dirty dishes from the dining table. Mike deliberately chose the woman because she was the one who worked here the longest, so Mike believed in her a lot. 

“Iya Sir, how?” he walked towards Mike. 

“Bi, I ask you to take care of Mama. Make sure she's safe while I'm at the office. I don't know what time I'll be home because it looks like today's schedule is quite tight, but on the other hand I'm also afraid of actually leaving Mama, so please pay attention to her. If you can keep an eye on him wherever he is, let no one hurt him,” Mike's message. His tone sounded very soft almost whispering. 

The waiter nodded quickly, “Okay Sir, I will keep an eye on Madam.”

“If anything please contact me,” said Mike again. 

“Good, Young Master.” 

Mike turned to Raina's room once more, then he began to step out of the house in anxious expectation. Actually, he did not dare to leave Raina, if he could take leave first but the office business is not an easy school affair to do the permit, if he could take time off first, especially today he has to follow some important activities such as meetings or rearrange some plans for marketing that he will do later. 

After Mike had actually left, Reina who was still in the room immediately cleaned her body, then dressed neatly and dressed as before. He removes eye bags with make-up and because of his skill in dressing up, now Reina looks beautiful again as before. Reina smiled in front of the glass of the dressing table, then after making sure that everything was neat, she decided to go out. 

When she was about to buy some flowers, Reina saw Esme sitting in the living room with her legs raised on the table and her head leaned against the chair. His hand played the device with fun like a ‘Mrs Besar’ who already has everything. Esme seemed to be enjoying her existence here, relaxing as if she had no problems in her life. Reina raised her upper lip looking at the rancid behavior of Esme who came to colonize her life. 

“Assyik once you're here? do you have no other activities other than sitting here relaxing as if the owner of this house,” Raina said. 

Esme. Instead of lowering his legs, he looked at Reina and laughed in a condescending tone. “Not what you said is true that I am a Mistress here. I have officially become a part of this house and it is not wrong also if I sit and relax anywhere, even if I have to relax in your room,” the cetus arrogantly. 

“Not shameless? I wouldn't have come here if your husband was faithful. So you better shut up, 'cause now you and I are the same, ”. 

Raina then called out to all the servants in her house with a very loud shout. Shortly after that about six servants and two planters arrived there quickly. They all stood up in a polite manner. Some of them looked surprised to see how Esme behaved in front of Reina. 

“All of you, do you all know who the Madam is in this house? Who has accepted you to work here, who is someone you serve?" raina asked her servants. His eyes glanced at Esme who looked unconcerned about the presence of the servant there who surrounded him. 

“Of course Madame Raina is the mistress of this house,” replied they were mutual. 

Raina now looked at Esme with a satisfied look. But Esme seemed to care less. He lowered his legs, then got up from his seat staring at the servants in front of him with a cynical look. Esme looked at them one by one from top to bottom, then wagged her hands in front of her face. “I was very surprised to hear that remark heard from lowly people like you guys. It is up to you to consider who the mistress in this house is because it does not abort my standing as the Madam who is on par with that Mistress of yours that you are proud of. Look, that I am also the wife of Haris, so don't you dare to be compassionate because me and Raina are equal,” Esme said, her index finger held out in front of her servants. 

Raina clucked softly. “You don't understand how you are here. You don't understand who you are. Are you deaf?” 

“I'm not deaf, I know that those maids prefer you to be Madam, and that's fine. I'm just saying that I'm not bothered by it. It's easy, Raina, if they don't want to serve me, I just have to ask Haris to find a new waiter who will serve me so that some of the servants standing here are fired instead.” Esme laughed in satisfaction after seeing the faces of the servants frightened by Esme's serious-sounding words. 

Raina's hands clenched knowing how cunning Esme was. The woman oppressed many people and toyed with many of one's thoughts. “You're really sneaky, Esme!” jolt Raina. 

“Licik? You're saying that I'm sneaky? Hey listen to Raina, that I'm just defending. You have no right to say such a bad thing to me. You started calling the waiters,” Esme replied. “Rather than being here staring at you guys who make my day so bad and full of shit, I better go shopping. This house feels turned into very hot because of the many negative air that filled this room.” Esme immediately left them with her haughty steps. 

Seeing Esme's footsteps leaving a wound on Reina's chest that felt very deep. But Reina tried to be okay because he had promised Mike that he would try to be strong in front of Esme, however he should not look weak even for a second. 

“Esme, it's not over yet. Guests are guests wherever you are, and the host is still the host no matter what the circumstances,” Raina said.
