Unlimited Love's

"Hey, the bride-to-be can't be sad!" exclaimed a young man who had stood there in the doorway of the bride's dress room. He was the first son of Clifford and Rosa, his name was Erich Saputra. He's five years old over Vioni and Vanila. For almost three years Erich lived in his apartment in the city of Surabaya. He was reluctant to be the successor to his father's company, so chose to live alone in another city.
"Sister!" Vioni turned around and found her brother standing behind her. "Since when was my brother here? I don't think you'll be coming to my wedding tomorrow" the girl asked, squandering into the arms of the only person who never differentiates between her and Vanilla.
"Why do you think I won't come to your wedding?" Erich pulled Vioni's shoulder and looked at her. He is still quite surprised at the news of his second brother's wedding which is fairly fast because the wedding Vioni will be held about one month away.
"Don't you say yourself 'You're always busy and never have time to spare?" vioni asked as she looked up to look into her brother's eyes. Erich has a height of 185 cm, while Vioni and Vanila only have a height of about 168, so making their bodies fairly short for people the size of Erich.
"Hey, I never said that to you! Why didn't you ever call me?"
"Me?" Vioni pointed at him.
"Yes. Who else has not contacted me at all? Even Vanila just calls me all the time" Erich said with a slightly irritated face each time he remembered that only Vanila had contacted him.
"Didn't Big Brother always say Big Brother is busy there? I dare to disturb you" replied Vioni. Yes, she always remembered that Vanila always said their sister was a very busy person so she did not have time for her sisters. Such an answer Vioni always receives whenever she asks Vanila to give Erich's mobile number to her.
"No. It's just you yourself who are always busy and never want to talk to me every time I call Vanila!" sahut Erich who immediately made Vioni stunned.
Any more? Vanilla doing something like this again? ask in the heart. Why does he always stop me from having someone I can count on? Is it not enough to monopolize Father, Mother Om and Aunt? Why does he also want to control Brother alone, Vioni continued with a sad face.
Erich still did not understand the change in the look of the younger sister's face.
"Hey, did anything make you sad?" asked the man while framing Vioni's face with both of her wide palms.
Vioni smiled as she shook her head. He did not want to make Erich think of himself who had been trying to survive alone. Vioni couldn't make Erich worry about her because the man was quite busy with his efforts that he was pioneering.
"I'm fine, brother. I'm not sad at all. Precisely I was moved by Brother who forced to come here, when Brother himself was having a busy life."
"I'm not forcing myself, Vio. Wouldn't it be natural for me to come to my sister's wedding?"
Vioni nodded her head. "Thank you very much, brother. I'm so moved."
Erich pulled Vioni's body into his arms. She knows that this marriage is not wanted by Vioni, but the girl is forced to do it because she is not the type of girl who always defies the will of her family.
"Tell me if someday you'll be unhappy with your marriage. I was the first one to pick you up later," Erich muttered over his sister's head.
Vioni further tightened her embrace on Erich. He felt overwhelmed by what his older brother had just said.
"Thank you, Brother. I'll remember what Brother said," replied Vioni.
"Eh, a–what do you mean Brother? I'm .. I'm fine," Vioni replied in a slight sigh. He was worried that Erich suspected him.
"really? Are there any other lies you're covering for me?"
"Nothing, Brother. I really didn't cover anything from you," Vioni replied as she ventured into looking into her brother's eyes. He had to convince Erich that he was in good shape.
"Oh, yes, brother. I have to change clothes first because after this I'm going somewhere." Vioni immediately switched their conversation. He did not want to continue getting a probing gaze from Erich. Really, he was very unable to cover up his lies in front of the man. Moreover, he also had to see Dr. Bryan immediately. However, Vioni was silent for a moment when she realized that maybe Erich would follow her.
"All right if that's the case. I'll be with you all day!"
'Degh's'
What should I tell my brother? There's no way he'll let me go to the hospital by myself. Maybe it will make her worry, Vioni's inner voice while staring at Erich's back which began to disappear behind the closed door of the room.
A heavy and rough sigh rang out from the girl's tiny lips. He couldn't possibly let Erich know of his current condition.
I need to find a way to escape from Brother Erich. Don't let her follow me to the hospital, her mind again.

Now a pair of sister brother was out of the boutique building that was used to fit the Vioni wedding dress. Erich asked the driver left by his mother to return to their residence, while he would be the driver and bodyguard of Vioni today.
"K–kak ... what are you sure to accompany me today?" vioni asked as she watched her brother return from the parking lot while driving the car he was about to use.
Erich got off first and immediately opened the passenger car door for Vioni.
"Come, Vio! Today I'll take you wherever you go" Erich said, letting his sister into the car. Even he ignored Vioni's question which he thought was not important.
Vioni grimaced a little because the older brother didn't even heed her words.
"Thank you, Brother. But–"
"I will never accept any rejection from you. Today and tomorrow you will be the queen. So, I'll escort you wherever you want" Erich insisted regardless of Vioni's confused expression.
I'm sorry, Vio. I'm being stubborn like this just because I feel guilty for letting you suffer all this time alone. I thought they treated you well because you were part of the family, but after I heard what Aunt Mel said, of course I couldn't let it go.
