"Because of your promotion, I'm sure tomorrow Alfa will be overwhelmed by receiving a lot of orders" said Alan.
"Oh, isn't that a good thing? Sis Alfa can get rich quickly," said Irene.
"Yes, he felt sorry for her too. The warehouse is burning, it's a loss, I don't know how much. I offered to help but he didn't want to" Alan murmured.
"really? Doesn't Brother Alfa always insinuate Brother to want to help him?" Irene asked in wonder.
"That's just a joke. Alfa's a prestigious person, there's no way I'd want to help. The company's money is also its money."
"If Alfa doesn't want my brother's money, it's just for me" Irene said.
Alan smiled broadly. "Don't think you like money, do you?"
"Who in the world doesn't like money, brother?"
"I guess you just love food."
"Buy food also needs money."
The two just got home from Violet and Jimmy's wedding. They look friendly and hold hands until they enter the house.
The condition of the house is already deserted, only a few servants are left who are still cleaning the house.
Irene and Alan got into the elevator. In the elevator, Alan gave a short kiss that made Irene blush.
"Thank you for tonight, brother. I want to go straight to sleep" Irene said as she opened her bedroom door.
Alan instead of going to his own room, went to Irene's room and closed it.
"Sir ...," Irene scolded. He always felt hanging whenever Alan went into his room greetings. If he gets caught by the house, he will be ashamed of himself.
Alan didn't comment on Irene. He pulled the woman's hand and sat her on the bed. Her lips aggressively gave a friendly kiss to Irene. The two of them cut their lips against each other.
Irene wrapped her hands around Alan's neck trying to enjoy the intimacy they were doing. He stopped the kiss when he felt something stuck to his neck.
"What's this?" Irene asked in wonder. When they kissed, Alan put a necklace on his neck. White necklace with sun shaped pendant that looks beautiful.
"Happy birthday, Irene" Alan said.
Irene forgot that the day had changed after passing 12 pm. It's his birthday.
"Thank you, Brother."
Irene was moved by the gift Alan gave her. He hugged the man tightly again.
According to Irene, this was her most special birthday. For a lifetime, only this time he felt happy and special to get a gift from someone on his important day.
"Sister, I love you so much" he said.
Alan smiled. He stroked Irene's back and returned his embrace. "I love you a lot too. Thank you for coming into my life" Alan said.
Irene let go of her embrace. He looked at the sincere face that had been giving love to him.
Although their first encounter begins with mutual dislike, over time sincerity and love grow by themselves.
"Sister," call Irene.
"Hm?" Alan was still focusing on the figure of the woman he did not want to leave. If he can, he will stay in the room until tomorrow morning.
"May I be honest?" ask Irene.
Irene rolled her eyes at Alan, who asked him to joke, but he wanted to talk seriously.
"Don't glare, I'm scared. Who knows on your birthday night I'd like to go to bed to be more special" joked alan.
Irene hit Alan's arm lightly. He then took his bag from the table and brought it to Alan.
"What's that?" alan asked curiously as Irene took out a sponge and a bottle of clear liquid.
Irene had felt enough to hide her true self. He was tired of playing someone else in front of Alan. In fact, his feelings for the man were not fabrications.
"Sister, don't be surprised to see my face without makeup" Irene said.
Alan was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what Irene meant. During this time he had also often seen Irene in the most beautiful view to a neat one.
Irene poured the liquid from inside the bottle over the wide flat circle sponge. He handed it to Alan. "Sister, help me remove my makeup, yeah!" her door.
"All right." Actually Alan was a bit hesitant to do Irene's request. However, he still accepted the thing Irene gave him.
Irene looked at Alan fixedly. He tried to catch his breath and calm himself. Whatever Alan responds to him, he will try to be ready to accept it.
Alan extended his hand. He began to sweep the sponge held onto Irene's face.
Alan was pecking at the sponge swab he did as if he had just lifted a very thick stain from Irene's face. The rubbing he did left a white mark on Irene's face like a mask.
"Sister, don't stop. Please do until the end" Irene asked again. He knew that Alan was shocked by what he saw.
Alan tried to calm down. He tried to move his hand back to clean the makeup on Irene's face. Every sweep that was done seemed to be skinning the mask that Irene had been wearing.
"It's impossible" said Alan.
Her body felt limp when she saw Irene's face perfectly without make up. It's not a new face for Alan. He has seen it many times but has not realized that it is the real face of Irene.
"This ... What exactly does all this mean?" alan asked in a trembling tone. He no longer knew what to respond to what he was seeing now.
"I'm sorry, sister." That's just what Irene seemed capable of telling Alan.
Alan sighed. "I can't understand what you're doing at all." he showed a look of annoyance and disappointment.
"Sorry, Brother ...."
"So, all this time you just wanted to trick me? Even fooled everyone? You must have been content to laugh at my stupidity in the back, huh? I don't think you can do that!"
Alan couldn't take it anymore. His feelings are mixed. As she was leaving, Irene held her hand.
"Sister, I never meant it that way" Irene said.
"If you have no such intention, from the beginning you don't have to. I've been feeling so stupid all this time that you can cheat at will!"
Alan took Irene's hand off her.
"Sister!" call Irene.
Alan's not huffing. With a quick step he walked out of Irene's room and into her own room.
Brak!
From the direction of her room, Irene could hear the sound of the door being slammed by Alan. Irene closed the door to her room. He fell behind the door, shedding tears. He had expected that Alan would not be able to accept with honesty.
