Marry my Raise Brother

Chapter 19

“Why not refuse if you really mind?” Ersa opened her voice as she caught up with Ayleen on the balcony of the second floor of her residence.

At almost midnight, everyone was already wrapped around the covers. Only the two of them remained awake.

“Kak Ersa.” Ayleen flinched and turned around.

“Hmm.” Ersa muttered softly, arranging the standing position right next to Ayleen. Both of the young man's hands were tucked behind the pockets of his jogger pants.

Both with Ayleen, staring at the beauty of the moon that shimmered golden. Perfectly round, once in a while the full moon hides behind the clouds, but soon puffs and shines brightly. Ersa could see the yellowing light hitting her sister's pretty face.

“I can't refuse, Brother Ersa. Mommy asked me to come. Anyway, I have no reason not to come.” Ayleen was still looking up at the night sky and trying to count the stars.

“I'll talk to Mommy if you mind.” Ersa gave me an idea.

A feeling of pity emerged just as his gaze collided with Ayleen's hue of sadness in the dining room, right after Hutomo gave a statement. However, he could not prevent it without asking for the brother's approval. Of course he had to talk to make sure the sweet girl's feelings of cheerfulness in the Hutomo family.

Ayleen shook his head weakly.

“If you really object, I will seriously help you, Leen. I want to see a smile on my sister's face, not sadness.” Ersa grabbed Ayleen's shoulder to get closer to him.

“I'm fine, Brother. I promised Daddy and Mommy that I would accompany them in Bandung. If Kak Erka and Kak Ersa are in Jakarta, then I am here too. Who will accompany Daddy and Mommy later. If anything happens to them, who will be responsible.”

Ayleen. He could not bear to let the elderly couple grow old alone. He owes a lot, maybe this is one of repaying him.

“Don't be sad, Leen. If you mind, move to Bandung. I'll talk to Mommy. If necessary, I'll pass it to Daddy directly.”

“Yes, Brother. I'm doing fine. I've steadied my heart to look after Daddy and Mommy.” Ayleen forced himself to comment on the smile on his lips. He had to, but had no other way but to accept.

“Ya.”

Ayleen had just moved when Ersa grabbed his wrist. In an instant, he was already inside the elder brother's arms.

“Both in Bandung. I'll come home often to visit you. Don't be naughty.” Ersa presents a kiss on the left temple of her sister then scrambles Ayleen's messy hair that was swept away by the night wind.

“Ya, Brother.”

“Sleep now. Don't you dare date her before you introduce her to me. Remember that!” threaten Ersa, before releasing. He could only watch Ayleen move away, leaving him alone.

“I love you, Leen. Since long ago.” Ersa rubbed her face. He hoped that one day Ayleen would hear his heart. Not knowing when that happened, the handsome young man was still waiting for a miracle. Her application and feelings had already been rejected outright by Veronica.

Ayleen's footsteps were heavy, his heart and brain were out of step. By heart, of course he wanted to remain in the capital. However, his brain ruled to accept all the requests of his parents.

Holding the door knob, Ayleen swung slowly while pushing softly against the whitewashed wooden door without realizing the danger was lurking from inside the room.

Ayleen's feet stopped stepping, his mouth agape when he found a foreign figure controlling his bed.

Please understand if I can't get up regularly here. In addition to Erka and Ayleen, I also wrote 3 other titles that are still on going and are in the process of revising one of my manuscripts. I'm sorry, if it's a seuprit.
