Turning My Brother's Destiny into My Husband
CHAPTER 8 ~ Select ~

Monica was standing in front of the door of Radian's room that had indeed remained open. Strictly against Radian's desire to propose Leana as his wife. Suddenly they turned towards Monica who was standing around with her waist-running eyes.

Radian felt unwell with his sister's attitude but Leana casually stepped closer until they were not too far away. Leana looked at Monica from the tip of her foot to the tip of her head.

Poor thing, it's as old as this is still school, school, school want how many model schools he will study to become a professional model or maybe school continues but does not graduate. Foolish, inner Leana who smiles by herself.

Monica was annoyed at being stared at like that, plus Leana who was smiling after looking at her.

"What smile?" ask Monica.

Hearing Monica's words, Radian felt his sister's behavior had gone too far. Soon the man pulled his sister's arm and took her to his room downstairs. While Leana was just relaxing on the balcony of Radian's room. Looking to the right of the balcony which was the balcony of his room first.

Do you often sit here? Wow, if yes, Brother must have heard me crying and talking to myself on that balcony. Never mind, it's all over. I haven't remembered my time as Livia. But since my return and coming back to this family, of course all my memories here are back again, Leana's inner being collapsed on the recliner on the balcony.

Meanwhile, in Monica's room, Radian questions her brother's intentions against marrying Leana.

"Why did you forbid me to marry her? You don't have Monica's rights. After all, why should I speak directly like that in front of him. You can know him first, the value of him then talk to me," said Radian with a displeased face.

"I don't want you to have a wife …"

"What?"

"If Brother gets married later Brother will only pay attention to Sister's wife. In this house who cares about me other than Brother. All this time we were just three, since childhood we passed all the time with three. Hard time happy time …"

"When do we get through a good time? You think moving into this house and letting Mama marry Livia's Papa was a good time? For you maybe yes, but not for me. Every day should see the injustice that Mama shows …"

"Mommy …"

"Bullshit Mommy .. once moved into this house became Mommy. Once at Abi Arifin's house, he we call Ummi, basically he is Mama. The woman who gave birth to us in the flats and always yelled if she had a fight with Papa. Mama just camouflaged in every place she lived. Mama was only lucky to have achieved what she wanted after Papa Robert died and Livia also died. But she's basically Mama, not Mommy" Radian said.

Hearing the name Livia called her Brother, Monica lowered her head with trembling hands. Of course he knew his half-sister died but not the suicide of everyone but because they were killed by being thrown into a deep, invisible abyss.

"Sister never forbid you to like any man as long as you can take care of yourself. But why would you forbid Brother to like Leana? What else is it that you forbid you to marry her?" ask Radian.

Monica didn't answer, she just bowed. Radian waited for an answer but Monica still did not want to reveal her heart. Radian's out of his mind. Remember Leana who was left in her room. The man immediately came to Leana who had fallen asleep in the recliner on the balcony of her room.

Radian smiled looking at Leana's peaceful asleep face. Her hair flew in a gentle breeze. Radian pinned the strand of hair behind Leana's ear.

Staring at you just feels so peaceful especially if it has you, inner Radian.

Radian stared at the details of Leana's face, forehead, eyebrows, nose, cheeks to the lips. Like having a strong magnetic force while staring at those sweet lips. Radian's eyes didn't want to switch from those soft lips anymore. Slowly close her lips to Leana's lips and stick them together.

"Someone stole the kiss" whispered Leana.

"Oh sorry, I just want revenge" said Radian.

"What?"

Leana immediately sat down, her chest pounding. The word revenge that was commonly echoed in his heart was actually uttered by Radian. Leana suddenly felt afraid if it turned out that Radian knew who he was.

After talking to Monica, Radian said like that making Leana's body suddenly cold. His blood stopped flowing.

Does Brother Monica recognize me? Does he have a hunch? Whahuh? Why is Radian talking about revenge? Inner Leana was frightened but held with all her might to be invisible to Radians.

Leana's eyes waited for what the man was doing. 

"Because you have also stolen my heart. I also want to steal a kiss from you" Radian said with a smile.

"just that? Revenge for that?" ask Leana relieved.

"That's a very strong reason, want a reason let alone? You think it's easy to steal my heart? After the girl who died, no one can steal my heart but you" replied Radian.

Leana directly wrapped her hands around the neck and back of the man. Leana buried her lips into the lips of the handsome man. Leana took a sip deep. 

"Whatis that? Kissing me without my permission. You want to steal from me too?" radian asked with a smile.

"No, I just want to take back the kiss that you stole from me" Leana replied, not wanting to lose.

"Take it back?" ask Radian and laugh. "I think you take it mostly, I have to take it back, too" said the man then returned to lay Leana down.

Radian took a sip of those soft lips, feeling Leana's tongue playing around in her mouth cavity, Radian smiled and went back to repeating it. The soft kiss made him addicted to it so he wanted to do it many times.

"I really want to marry you Leana" whispered Radian finally.

The man leaned Leana's head against his chest.

"What about Monica? Do not accept me as a future wife Brother, just get acquainted with me he does not want to," said Leana.

"I'm sorry Monica, she's spoiled with me. Maybe because we no longer have a father figure. She relied heavily on me, afraid that I would ignore her if she got married later."

Of course he was anxious, you three have always been so dependent on each other. He doesn't want to let you go to another woman, no matter how good she is. Let's see if he can stop us from getting married? Inner Leana.

Leana refocused on the man playing his tongue back in the girl's mouth. Today Leana failed to get a marriage license from Monica. That certainly makes Radian upset. Leana hadn't even had a chance to say anything when Monica came to express her objections.

In her office Leana immediately called Nesya and asked for the names of agencies that could roughly be invited to work together to accept Monica as a professional model.

"This is Miss, the name of five prestigious agencies that are willing to accept Miss Monica in their management," Nesya said while submitting five company profiles that are targeted by models who want to become professional models.

Thanks to Nesya who has the skills in approaching the owner of the agency and the big name of the company Leana. The top five agencies are willing to accept Monica to be a model under their auspices.

"Thank you Nesya, so everyone is willing to accept? Is Monica really that talented?" ask Leana.

"Actually the five agencies opened the opportunity for models to join them but Monica never escaped because of intense competition. They mostly accept model school graduates from abroad. But they can train Monica if accepted, of course they have to learn from zero again there" explained Nesya.

"What do they expect from our company" asked Leana.

"Sponsor, to organize fashion shows in the fashion cities of the world. The more often they take part in the international scene the more considered in the world of modeling is not it?" ask Nesya.

"Ok, no problem. Which one can we make the first target?" ask Leana.

"This is Miss, I saw there was an audition for a famous Designer fashion show in a newly opened tourism object. I think Miss Monica will be auditioning for it" explained Nesya.

"Ow, well thank you my friend Nesya, are we having lunch today?" ask Leana.

"It looks like it can't be Miss, it was about half an hour ago. Mr. Radian asked Miss activities this afternoon. Because there is no agenda so I said empty. I think Mr. Radian will be here" Nesya said with a smile.

"Oh so, well Nesya, next time I buy you lunch, yes" said Leana.

"Ready Miss," Nesya said with a smile.

Nesya came out of her room. Leana is very grateful to have a personal assistant who understands her very well. Her heart flowered as Nesya said Radian asked about her activities today. Leana stared at her watch which felt slow moving her needles.

Leana waited as she stared at the cityscape through the usual large glass window into a pensive place. Suddenly a bouquet of roses appeared before him. Leana was surprised, the woman knew Radian was coming but did not expect to bring flowers for her.

"Thank you, sister" said Leana who immediately embraced Radian.

"I must thank you for being patient with my spoiled sister. But believe me baby, I'll keep trying to persuade him" Radian said.

"If he still doesn't allow how?" ask Leana.

"I will marry you even without her permission. Leana, I don't want to lose you! Monica's my sister but she has no right to interfere in my life's decisions. I ... love you Leana, I love you so much" Radian said.

Leana smiled happily, immediately the girl hugged the handsome man who became her true love. Leana even shed tears, never imagined if one day Leana would listen to those words spoken from Radian's mouth.

Radian thrust out a box containing a diamond ring in front of Leana who was still holding her. Leana was startled and immediately stretched her embrace. Soon Leana wanted to grab that prodding ring. But Radian dodged and hid behind his back.

Leana walked to the side of Radian's back but the man shifted instead.

"Sister! Where's my ring?" asked Leana who impatiently wanted to wear the Radian-given ring.

But the man just smiled and stretched out his two clasped hands.

"What does that mean? I can't choose both? If I don't like what I choose? I still have to let go of the rest of my hands" asked Leana, who was replied with a nod by Radian.

"Can't be replaced? If I don't like how?" ask Leana.

"How else? It's a risk and it's destiny" Radian said.

"Did, awful!" leana was upset.

"Let's pick it up!" radian.

Dazedly Leana also chose, sometimes pointing right hand then suddenly cancel it then like sure to choose the left hand and then again cancel it.

"How this beautiful CEO is so wishy-washy in making decisions" said Radian with a laugh.

"Because I have to lose the other one, I have to be careful in choosing not to regret," said Leana finally re-elected Radian's right hand.

Because according to him Radian must have grasped the ring in his right hand and will immediately slip it on Leana's ring finger. And sure enough, in the right palm of Radian grasped the ring he had displayed earlier.

Leana is happy her choice is right but curious about the contents of Radian's left hand grip.

"What is in the left hand?" leana asked who had taken the ring from Radian's palm.

Radian opened his palm but there was nothing there.

"empty? If I choose it means I get nothing?" asked Leana who was increasingly convinced that the choice was the right choice.

But Radian shook his head.

"It's not empty but it's here, inside my chest. This is my heart" said Radian steadily.

Leana's stunned.

"If I choose this means I'm releasing your heart? I don't want this" said Leana directly returning the ring to Radian's palm.

"But you've chosen this" said Radian with a smile.

Leana flipped her body facing the window.

"I don't want to, if I get your ring but I don't get your heart. Wh-wh-what for? Married but not getting your love? Then don't you!" exclaiming Leana.

Why is Radian like this? Is he sorry? Does he go back to his old love not wanting to leave his old love, oh no, screams Leana.

"I can't give you a ring at once my heart, because my heart isn't in its place anymore, haven't you stolen it?" radian asked as he hugged Leana from behind and thrust back the ring in front of Leana's face.

Leana smiled, then turned to Radian.

"Don't you have my heart?" tanya Radian who was reciprocated with a hug by Leana.

"I think Big Brother changed his mind, Big Brother will love his first love again" said Leana with tears flowing.

"She loved my past and now I love you Leana, you are my future" Radian said, closing her eyes to breathe the base of Leana's neck.

Sister is my love from the past, present and for the future, inner Leana.

Radian slipped the diamond ring on Leana's ring finger. After returning to say the words of a request to be his wife. Leana replied in agreement and the ring was tucked in the ring finger of the beautiful woman.

"I kiss my bride?" ask Radian

No need to ask permission to kiss her, Leana just kissed the lips of her future husband. Radian smiled and replied with a passionate kiss.

A few days later Monica attended an audition for the selection of fashion models in a newly opened tourism area. With the spirit of the woman showing her abilities but seeing her rival who is a top model, Monica was bitterly waiting for the announcement.

Monica waited as she continued to pray her name was listed in one of the selected models. As soon as he opened his eyes, those eyes immediately widened. Leana came out of the agency leadership room. Leana was going home and the leader offered to drive her, and she wanted to subtly refuse.

"LEAN!!!"

Leana turned her head towards the voice that was calling out with a gaze as if asking who would dare to call her impolitely like that. Monica instantly realized her mistake and acted very politely.

"Sister Leana?" greet Monica while grinning.

Oh my God .. Leana? Inner Leana immediately laughed.

"Oh, Monica?" leana asked directly putting herself above Monica.

"Who is Miss Leana?" ask the agency leader.

"Oh introduce me Monica, sister-in-law, Leana," said Monica immediately introduced herself.

"When did I marry your sister?" ask Leana.

"Well, not soon. Then it's still a sister-in-law candidate" said Monica.

Leana finally nodded, Monica immediately told me she was waiting for the results of the audition announcement.

"Can you get me out?" ask Monica.

"Is she really Miss Leana's sister-in-law?" ask the agency's president.

"Right sir, if Mr. Aldo doesn't want to embarrass me in front of my future sister-in-law. Will you accept him at this agency?" ask Leana.

Monica was immediately surprised to hear Leana's words asking the agency's leadership to make her one of the professional models there.

"For Miss Leana, who wouldn't. Of course we will make Miss Leana's sister-in-law our professional model here" Aldo said.

"Well then thank you very much, if there is free time we have lunch together?" ask Leana.

"Thank you Miss Leana" said the agency's chief.

Leana immediately parted and smiled slightly at Monica then stepped gracefully away from the place.

Haaa, just like that? She can make that leader submit to her and be willing to accept me as a model in this agency. Just by talking for a second? Leana, how great she is, Monica's inner scream.

"LEAN!!! Uh .. I mean Leana!" call Monica.

Leana flipped over and waited for the childish woman to run up to her.

"Thank you for helping me, if you know this easily with your help, I will ask for your help, for a long time" Monica said.

"How can you ask for help from the past, we also just met and you also rejected my relationship with your sister," said Leana to the point.

"Oh, about that don't worry I'll bless you guys" he said, nodding.

"You think your brother heard you say? He still proposed to me even though he didn't get permission from you" Leana explained as she showed the ring on her ring finger.

"I know, Big Brother definitely doesn't care what I think" Monica said bowed.

"You think he's willing to lose me for you?" ask Leana.

Monica's getting down.

"You are the spoiled girl he loves but I am the woman he loves. Youunderstand? He chose me over you, so don't ever ask him to choose. Have mercy on yourself" said Leana.

The woman did not want Monica to feel that thanks to her permission, Radian could marry her. Leana wants Monica to know that Monica has no meaning to her in Radian's eyes.

Monica was downcast, her haughty attitude that completely rejected Leana's presence yesterday was reminded again of her. Makes the girl regret her attitude and promises to always support Leana's relationship with her brother.
