"Where are you guys from?”
Deg
Seira's heart stopped beating. The girl held her breath for a few seconds . Then looked at Alex's relaxed face. Alex gave a smile to Seira who looked panicked. Before finally giving an answer to Mama Naura.
“We are from hotel ma.”
“Hotel?” everyone was surprised by Alex's response. No exception Seira who looks increasingly panicked. And his two eyes almost jumped out of place. How could his brother be so honest.
Mama and papa looked at Seira and Alex in turn. As if suspicious. Even with Bryan who already understands the place for what the hotel is, if a pair of different types of humans together in one room.
“After returning from prom night Seira asks Alex to pick her up. Because Alex is having a party with David and Roy, Alex invites Seira to join. We partied until late at night and Seira was already asleep. Therefore Alex booked a room for Seira then we continued to party again to celebrate Alex.”'s birthday Lying is relaxed. And sure enough everyone believed Alex's words. Seira breathed with relief.
“Have Ma what to worry about. They are brothers not lovers.” papa greeting makes Alex a little relieved. At least papa's words can help him convince mom to believe in him.
“Kakak, another week don't forget to get Emily's end of semester report. Sister promised Lily yesterday.”
“Just ask the same mom or dad why should brother Alex take.” the sound comes from Seira.
“Why sister is upset I just asked brother Alex to take a report instead of being my lover.” Emily's remark made Seira speechless. It was also true why he should be upset. Alex doesn't just belong to her but belongs to her family, including Emily.
“Have I tired of wanting to rest.” Seira left behind all the family members who were still gathered in the living room. Alex looked at Seira's body which looked tired.
“Papa will go to the office first. Alex you can take a day off today. Let papa handle everything.”
“Thank you pa.”
Alex and Seira today rest in their respective rooms. If Seira sleeps then Alex does not. The man appears to be working in front of his laptop. Although Papa gave him leave he did not then relax and stay still. Alex has been setting up a company secretly without everyone's knowledge.
Alex's company is in the industry. More precisely the design as well as the production of baby equipment and clothing. The company he founded based on the dream of Seira who wants to become a designer baby clothes.
Long enough to be in front of the laptop makes his eyes and body a little tired. He wanted to rest but before that he first stored the file in a flasfdisk. Before turning off the laptop screen. The screen displays a picture of a girl with long hair and a smile that always makes her excited in work.
**Nightnight**
Everyone gathered in the dining room. With the exception of Bryan who is allowed to go with his friends. Seira looks down the stairs one by one. He tied his hair up revealing a red trail that still looked faint. Alex who saw it panicked. Hurriedly the man stood in front of Seira. Blocking everyone's view to look towards Seira.
Alex's sudden actions left everyone confused. And so is Seira. Why is her brother blocking her, she thought.
“Alex there need to be a moment with Seira.” Without waiting for a response, Alex turns around and pushes both of Seira's shoulders away from all the family members.
“What's up brother?” Seira felt confused as Alex suddenly untied her hair.
“You want everyone to see this and this.” point Alex at Seira's neck.
“Gosh.”
“No need to panic. Now go to the room and disguise it with foundation or powder.” without waiting long Seira did as ordered by Alex. He also did not want his parents to think about things because he saw a mark on his neck.
“Seira was coming this month her pants were red because that's why brother asked her to change clothes.” lied Alex who still sounded vague in Seira's ears.
“Oh.”
**the next morning**
It's the weekend everyone is home. Papa Sean, Alex and Bryan are used to waking up early. Like this morning the three of them were running around their complex. Some neighbors were amazed by the good looks of three men in that generation.
“See that sir Sean despite getting older charisma yes.” Complex mothers who shop for vegetables began to gossip.
“Iya let alone his son named Alex. Besides being handsome he is also well established. If I had a daughter I'd be paired with her.”
“But listen he's just a foster kid lo bu. If the adopted child will get a little inheritance.” taunted one of the mothers who looked down on the status of adopted children.
Alex who heard the mother's words just smiled a little. Unlike Sean who thought about the mother's words. Even with Bryan however his brother he is still their first brother. Have the same rights.
“Let's go home papa is tired.” both Bryan and Alex follow the footsteps of his papa to return to their home.
The old man went straight to the kitchen to get a full glass of water. Then drink it to the toilet. Making Naura his wife squinted at her husband who looked upset after exercising.
“What's with your papa?” naura whispers between Alex and Bryan.
“Entah.” Bryan went to the room to clean himself up.
“Aish the boy if asked instead of answering went instead.” grumbled Naura.
Alex pulls up a chair to sit there. Followed by Sean and Naura who are curious about what just happened.
“Alex.” call Sean.
“Alex is fine pa.” Alex's answer further confused Naura. What happened, Naura thought.
“Actually what is pa?” naura's soul curiosity made her have to ask immediately.
“Complex mothers talk about us ma. They say Alex is just our adopted son. And they also said that foster children will only get a little inheritance.” grumbled Sean.
“Hahahaa.” Naura laughed even her laughter made Alex smile.
“Ma..” annoyed Sean for being laughed at by his wife.
“Lagian papa dengerin complex mothers whose hobbies gossip. And since when does a Sean listen to the words of complex mothers. Papa is-just fine.” Naura shook her head to see her husband's behavior.
It is also true since when a Sean owner of a large company listened to the bounty of complex mothers.
But because of the words of the mothers Sean became thinking of something. Something she would have to do for the good of her children. However, Alex is very instrumental in the progress of the company. Although his age is still so young but his intelligence makes Sean's company growing rapidly.
