"Let's Anna" said Alice standing in front of a white wardrobe.

Before Anna walked up to Alice, Anna was still amazed to look at the room of Alice's room which was quite large and doubled from her room.

"Why, Brother?" the question approached Alice who was choosing a dress that was there.

"So don't know how big your dress is. So rather than tired brother himself choose mending you yourself who try one by one dress in this closet."

"All of this is new and you never wear it at all. My sister is rarely at home. You know how busy brother's work is..."

Alice smiled sweetly looking at Anna. Understanding what Alice was saying, Anna immediately nodded. Her legs led her closer to a tall, wide-open closet, revealing its contents with rows of dresses, dresses, and some neatly arranged clothes in place.

"No papa Anna. Don't worry about brother yes. Soon you are also a sister, so choose the dress you want. Try them one-on-one for nothing. Entar maid that will settle again," Alice told him.

Anna, who was still staring at dozens of various fashion dresses arranged in the closet, began to approach. His hands began to stretch touching one by one the dress made by a famous brand there.

It does not take much time to choose a dress in the closet. His hand immediately grabbed a white dress with flowers on the bottom.

"Don't want to take another dress Anna, for example this dress," said Alice grabbed a knee-length dress slightly exposing the upper chest.

The top of the dress was a little open but suitable for Anna to wear such as for party time.

"No need brother. Anna just put this one on. Where is it instead, brother?" tanyanya looked around the room and found no door other than the entrance into this room.

"Replace here. No one will see it. This room also has no CCTV so don't be afraid. Let's help your dirty bouquet dress."

When Alice touches the back of the dress Anna is wearing, Anna turns around. Alice would have seen the wound if she had helped undress hers.

"Why?" alice asked looking at Anna's face which suddenly turned fearful and panicked.

"Sister just wants to help you. Your hand won't open the zipper. Come here, brother open it..."

"No need brother. I can do it myself" he said, making Alice frown.

Feeling uneasy at Alice's expression just now, Anna collapsed, nodding and standing before Alice. She turned her back to Alice and closed her eyes as Alice slowly opened her dress hook.

Alice slowly unzipped Anna's dress zipper slowly. The young woman was petrified as her pair of eyes caught a bruise wet from her sister-in-law's shoulder.

Not until there, Alice again lowered it to the waist of Anna. Suddenly the woman turned the tiny body of Anna, facing her. Alice's gaze that was so disbelieving in what she saw made Anna look at Alice heartily.

"Juishly same sister. What the hell is going on with you? Why is your back full of bruises? Who were you hit by?" alice said with a slight suppression voice.

"Sorry Brother Alice, don't say anything to Leon. Anna's afraid..."

Anna suddenly hugged Alice's body tightly. He drowned his sad face in the recesses of the brother-in-law's neck. While Alice, she stared at the scar on the girl's body. His shoulders, back, thighs, and arms were bruised.

Alice looked back at Anna. "Is this wound still hurting?" Alice touches the bruise on Anna's right shoulder. The little ringing coming out of the girl's mouth caused Alice to panic and worry.

"Sister can't lie to your brother, baby. You have to tell me who did this to you. Come on, brother help you tell me everything.

"Don't, sister, please. Anna please don't let Leon know. Brother's gonna be really pissed if he finds out who did it."

"No Anna, don't be like this. Listen brother..." Alice cupped the two cheeks of the girl. This time the gaze that Anna saw from Alice's bead was a gaze of hope.

"If you don't tell me now, Leon will be very angry and will even find out who is behind the bruises on your back. Leon doesn't like lies, honey. Maybe you know Leon's behavior because he's your brother, but as long as you're dating him, you know how Leon gets angry."

"Sister was once hurt, just a little affair at the tip of my brother's index finger, but Leon, your brother worried him to excess. He's willing to fly from London to meet his brother to Germany."

"You want your own brother to know who's behind this wound. You want?"

Anna took a deep breath. He shook his head. Is it time he told her how his father was all this time? But what if he was honest and made his father and brother noisier? Anna wouldn't be able to see that.

"Listen brother. Never hold everything in your heart. Your heart is not as big as Anna's. Your chest will be congested if you are unable to tell the truth."

"This injury is also brother see is not a new wound. What the hell is it? Did anyone hurt you" Alice said, touching Anna's arm.

"Remember Honey. The heart cannot lie and neither will it be that strong to endure the pain that you endure alone. I need to find a place for a story."

"Come here. Brother will help you talk to your brother," said Alice reached out her hand and was welcomed by Anna.

The two of them just walked out of the room. Right now Anna was really nervous to tell her brother everything, but if she was dishonest to this day maybe what Alice was afraid would happen.

...•••...

"Darling..." Alice called from the stairs. Leon who clearly heard it turned his head to look at the arrival of his fiancee with his sister to the living room.

"Have you finished going around his house?" ask Leon. Anna smiled broadly as she nodded her head.

"Then we go home now. Brother hasn't seen father one day either, so before eight o'clock we have to get home."

She grabbed her sister's hand, but Alice held her arm. "Wait a minute Leon. Anna wants to say something important to you. Promise not to scold her" Alice said.

Leon frowned. "Why are your faces so serious?" said Leon. "Is there anything serious you've been talking about since?"

"Nothing, dear. Your sister just wants to say something important to you."

"We can talk at home, Alice. I have to see Dad first. I haven't seen him in a long time. When it's night, I'm afraid I'm sleeping and I can't be bothered anymore."

"Come, Anna. I'll come here again tomorrow."

Anna glanced at Alice with a nervous look and was so frightened. But Alice was indeed a woman who was quite mature and already knew how to deal with this kind of problem directly rubbed Anna's back gently.

"Your sister's hurt, Leon. He needs you now. She was so scared" Alice explained, making Leon who had turned his back to them want to walk to the door there and stop and turn around.

Leon swung his steps closer towards Alice and those eyes looked fixedly at Anna, his sister. It stopped. The tall man stood in front of Anna. Anna herself could only bow her head. Somehow it felt at this moment he was really scared to see his brother's bead of eyes.

"No papa, honey. He's your brother, he deserves to know what's going on with you as long as he's not home. Tell me the truth" Alice said, touching Anna's shoulder.

Seeing Anna's slow response, there was a possibility that she was scared, Alice immediately revealed a little dress sleeve covering Anna's arm.

Not even that, Alice blatantly opened the back hook of the dress that Anna was wearing - making Anna turn her back on Leon, revealing her bruised back.

"I'm sorry I was too presumptuous to do this to Anna. Fellow girl, your sister needs your protection. Look at all these wounds Leon," said Alice staring at Anna's scar-filled back and by the door there was a wound that still had not dried.

"I saw this bruise when I helped your sister take off her dirty dress. See for yourself what this much wound doesn't hurt for her. How he slept has horrified me."

Leon who had been frowning immediately suddenly put on a flat face. He clenched his hands tightly. Leon stepped before Anna who was bowed in fear.

"Who did it?" leon said with a raised voice. Anna raised her face looking at the look in Leon's eyes which was unlike the first they met last afternoon.

"Slow Leon! You asked as if you wanted to attack him too."

"How can I calm down Alice sees my own sister getting hurt like this. I just want his brother to pinch him I'll puff."

"Say who dares to do this? Your schoolmate? Or who? Say?!" Leon raised his tone of voice making Anna panic and his breathing went up and down.

"Don't shut up like this Anna! Brother can't act if you just keep quiet like this. Say it! Tell me who made your body bruise like this" Leon said staring fixed all the bruises on Anna's body.

"Abang had to promise he wouldn't get angry if Anna said that."

"Resign.." said Leon so soon.

Anna touched Leon's wrist. Grasping it firmly made Leon glance at Anna's touch in his hand.

"Dad... Father who beat Anna up like this." explained Anna with tears. "Dad did..."

Alice who heard that gaping did not believe that the man who would become her father-in-law could do that to her own daughter. Alice who understands the situation directly touches Leon's arm, trying to neutralize the emotions of the future husband so as not to quickly dissolve in anger but Leon is not a man like that.

Even if his father he would still cross the line if he dared to hurt his own sister who might not make a mistake at all.

"Abang tau's. After my brother left me and lost the news during that time, my father always tortured me until it felt like dying in my hands. Dad never saw me like his own son Bang. Dad always said that I was the son of a bad-ass carrier. I'm. Even—"

"Stop it.." Leon's word was flat and the man rubbed his face violently. Leon held onto both of Anna's shoulders, staring at Anna's pair of watery eyeballs intently without blinking.

"What made you come up like this? Tonight you should know why you've been acting this far."

"You come with me" said Leon glanced at Alice. "I'm afraid of letting go and making it all fall apart." Alice nodded in understanding. He knows what Leon looks like when he has been ignited by the flames of anger.

An hour drive the latest luxury car is now entering the courtyard of the house and parked in its place. Leon turned off the car engine and turned to Anna who was sitting in the seat next to him while Alice sat in the back seat.

"You go in first. Brother's gonna see how Dad hits you if he finds out you've been home from the outside."

"But bang Anna..." Leon rubbed Anna's cheek gently. "There's a brother here. Anyone out there who has a sister will not be able to calm down to see his parents even play hands with his sister, especially Brother Anna.

"...even if he's our father if the road is wrong Brother does not care. Died too brother wants for you the only one you have."

"You remember when you ruined your job first. An angry brother never had any intention of hitting you, so dad, no matter how angry you are, you shouldn't be doing that."
