Alona remained silent. He seemed reluctant to give an answer from his mouth. Alona's heart was rumbling while her heart continued to churn. He painstakingly calmed his heart and sense of ego.
Seeing Alona remain silent Michael again spoke a few words. Michael tries to draw his sister's sympathy. Maybe with that, he could be given one chance. There's no harm in Michael trying.
"Alona.., you certainly know the influence of my company outside and inside the country. I could have looked for you all over the world. It's not that I don't want to, but I just don't want to disturb my sister's happiness, the happiness of the family that looks after my sister. I don't want to break the promise I made. I'll go away, if you mind me being here." Said Michael trying to toughen up.
"I don't want to!!!" Answer Alona harshly.
"Alona, Big Brother never taught you to be rude and arrogant." Alan said he started to grow angry with his brother.
"Sister, I told you I didn't want to! don't force me to accept it."
"Alan let it go. Maybe he needs time to accept me. I'm going home tonight to J. Thank you for taking care of Myrah all this time. To me he's still my brother." Michael Selah.
Michael walked to the exit. Before reaching the end of the door Michael turned to look at Alona who was sitting next to her husband with a face covered in cloth.
"Alona.., listen to Brother this time." Encourage Alan to melt his sister's heart. "The opportunity will not always come a second or third time. Michael never wanted to see you. He came here because of Big Brother who begged him. Brother should have heard Michael say not to meet you and cover up all this truth. Now Brother is disappointed in you for not being able to give others a chance."
Alan lowered his head deeply. His hands were clenched between his legs and his feet were sitting on the sofa.
"I don't want to be his sister once. I also want to meet my sister Michelle." Alona said slightly.
"Alan, Michael, Alexander, "....!!!"
The three of them were silent for a moment. There was a sense of disbelief upon hearing the words that came out of Alona's mouth.
""Alona? K-Ka-You didn't talk wrong, did you? You didn't hear me wrong, did you?" ask Alan.
Michael, who was outside the door, turned around. The man smiled until his face sparkled like a kitten finding its mother.
Alexander just hugged his wife beside him. The face-covering cloth was opened and he gently kissed his wife's face. "Darling I'm happy, you can accept this reality."
Michael came over to Alona. Michael just snatched Alona from Alexander's arms. He did not care whether Alexander would be angry or not. Finally Michael realized that his feelings during this time, when he met Alona was a desire to protect his sister, not a feeling of love like a lover.
"I'll call you Myrah. Yes, Myrah Beverly Gunawan. You're my sister."
Alona returned Michael's embrace. It felt strange when Michael hugged her. It felt very foreign, but the hug felt warm like there was love emanating in it. "Sister, Michael, you're my brother. You're not leaving me, are you? even though I have one Big Brother but I don't mind being arrogant and greedy. I'm so happy to have two very handsome brothers. I'll be the happiest sister in the world."
"I'm not leaving" Michael replied. "Even if our destiny will meet this time. I never wanted to go home to J. Somehow this year my heart is very steady to move and move all the headquarters of Gunawan group to the city of J. Maybe it's one of the proofs of your brother's love for you. I never imagined I'd see you again."
"Sister Michael, I also want to meet Sister Michelle. Can I?"
"Myrah.., right now Brother doesn't know where your sister Michelle is. Michelle left Brother five years ago. She is married to a military man. The day after marriage her husband was immediately given field duty to participate in the war between tribes in remote areas. Two days later, her husband was pronounced dead after being shot with a poisoned arrow in his chest. Michelle followed to the border area. Until now he has no news. Brother tried to find it, but it was all in vain."
"Don't be sad, brother. I'll help Brother find Sister Michelle." replied Alona with a smile comforting Michael. Alona stroked Michael's cheek. He caught his sister's face for the first time. Alona's eyeballs emitted a million warmth. There was a sense of happiness every time his pupils moved their eyes towards Michael.
Seeing that intimacy, Alexander was jealous. He cannot stay silent.
"Michael, I know you're her brother but now I'm her husband. I'm still jealous even though you're his sister. So please let go of that hug immediately. I want to play tonight with him. You can sleep in the guest room. Here you guys have to self service, I didn't hire an assistant for you guys to stay longer." Said Xander with a satirical tone while reminding. He does not want to share his wife with others, even if it is his biological brother.
"Alexander are you tired of living? I'm most entitled to my brother" Alan. "He slept with me for 17 years during the rainy season. Do you know what his behavior looks like? he always kicked me in the face and buttocks while sleeping!" Joking Alan.
"Sir Alan, don't say that. I'm a big boy now. Soon I will have a child too. I wish she was a girl. I'm bored, no friends. Or you can find me a beautiful and kind sister-in-law. And you're Michael's brother, don't pretend, I also want a brother-in-law for me." Reply Alona.
Alan, Michael, "....!!!"
They both pretended not to listen.
Being single in front of a partner must be strong enough to withstand all the trials. Especially in front of a newly married couple. You have to have strong eyes and ears. If not, you will suffer....
"Honey, let them be single until they're ready to get married. Don't tease them anymore. We'd better go to the room, it's night time. I'm afraid you can't feel it anymore."
Alexander gave his hard code.
"Darling, I just met my sister. How can you be shameless." Answer Alona.
"Dear Alona, tonight I want to teach you a new game. You're very curious, aren't you? this game is so cool. You must like it a lot."
Alona's red face held in shame. "Darling can your mouth not be like a leaking basin?"
Alexander just smiled. He doesn't care at all. To him flirting with his wife always made him happy.
"Go!, you guys have always been like an old couple, shameless. Please when you're with us don't talk about your night activities. And, one more please turn down the volume of your birds and ducks. I'm tickled to hear it." Tempta Alan recalled the moment he first came.
"So if you're jealous, go find prey!" reply Alexander.
"I'm sure you can't stand it, right?" god again.
Michael, Alan, "....!!!"
They looked at each other strangely. This time they really lost to the little boy. If they are not hitching a ride it feels like beating up his sister-in-law.
Alexander held Alona and went to her room. Michael and Alan remained silent on the couch.
The next day....
Dining table filled with delicious food. All morning Aunt Ani cooks at the help of doctor Risma.
There were a total of 10 delicious dishes this morning. Alexander told Bi Ani to make breakfast.
Aunt Ani is very good at making home cooking. He inherited his talent from his grandmother.
Everyone gathered at the table to enjoy breakfast.
They enjoyed all the breakfast very happily. Except for Alexander and Doctor Risma.
Alexander was very unhappy because his wife had taken over his two brothers. While Risma's doctor was very upset with Michael's behavior this morning. They fought over the bathroom. The woman was very upset that Michael was ahead of her, even though he had already lined up first.
Aunt Ani knew the situation very well. For example, he once led a war army. He certainly knew all the traits and characters of his subordinates let alone just a handful of people before him at this moment. "Mr Alexander I'm cooking flour fried squid. Sir must have liked it." Say Bi Ani to liven up the warm atmosphere.
"Female bird!" grumbling Michael looked at the doctor Risma who was trying to take her horse.
"Polar bear!" doctor Risma's reply is still upset. The woman gritted her teeth and opened her eyes. "Sir, please release my shrimp" she said softly but with a threatening look.
"My beautiful Doctor. Auntie's been cooking your favorite quail egg satay." Said Bi Ani smiling towards Doctor Risma while being caught fighting over food with Michael. They're scrambling sweet sour shrimp.
"Thank you, Bi...." Answer Doctor Risma. The woman releases the shrimp on the plate. He chose to keep his image.
Alona and Alan circulated his gaze and pulled both his shoulders a sign they did not care about the chaos this morning.
"Mr Michael, special guest this morning. Aunty has cooked a special peck gurame for you." Said Bi Ani while giving a plate containing a pecked gurame to Michael.
"Thank you Bi. Auntie knows my favorite food." Praise Michael for taking Aunt Ani's heart.
Eventually the fight between Michael and Doctor Risma could subside. The six of them were able to enjoy breakfast quietly after going through quite a heated debate.
*****
The day has gone by noon....
Alexander was focusing on staring at his laptop screen in the living room. He was playing a video of the meeting he had left behind.
Alan was reading the investigative documents of Diana. Alan was very serious about reading every single piece of information written in it.
Alan leaned his body onto the sofa. The document in his hand he put on the table. "Alexander what are you working on? are you busy?" ask Alan.
"Nothing, I just saw a video of the meeting last night. Just tell me if you need my help." Answer Alexander.
Michael came from the park with Alona. He this morning took his sister around the park to bring closer the relationship between Brother and sister.
"Do you need my help too?" michael Sahut.
Alona, who did not know, went straight to her room. He wanted to rest for a while to relieve the pain in his legs due to too long walking.
Alan went straight to the heart of the conversation.
"Alexander I'd like to ask you your opinion. And, you're Michael, as the real brother of Alona I also asked for your approval. It's about the Diana case."
"Say it first. We'll approve you" replied Michael. Even though he just met his sister. But he will not arbitrarily endanger the safety of his sister.
"I've been watching Diana all this time. I hired a private detective to scout Diana's every move. Diana had already ordered someone to kidnap Alona. Diana only knew that the baby Alona was carrying was her granddaughter. He wants Alona back with Alvaro. What do you think? what can we do now."
"What is the motive behind all this? Who is diana?" ask Michael who does not know the problem at all.
"Michael, Diana was the mother of Alona's former lover. He killed both my parents. In addition, he also conspired with my uncle to get shares of Raharja Industry company. Diana had also caused misunderstandings between the Raharaja and Utama families five years ago. She's a sneaky woman!"
"Emm.., I get it"
Michael was very quick to digest the problems that occurred. Although he did not know the whole matter yet but with a high level of intelligence he was able to deduce it easily.
"Alan you'd better register your family's company to be open to the public. I'll buy it, all your legalities I'll return after the case is over. I know the value of the company's shares is always stable, so many parties want it. Making your company open to the public will get a positive side in the eyes of the community after the campylobacter case. In addition we can lure the mastermind behind the case five years ago. Maybe Diana was just the cover behind all these cases. Alexander I also suggested that the shares in your hands you also sell to me the remaining 40% give to others. While Alona's stock let it be a fishing bait for us."
"I agree..." Answer Alexander.
Alan nodded his head. "I agree too."
"What's our next plan?" ask Michael.
"Diana really wanted Alona. Besides the baby, maybe he wants to kill all my family. He had also threatened to kill me. I have a plan, but it's very dangerous." Answer Alan.
"Tell me, brother. We'll work together to do it." Alexander.
"I want to make Alona the bait to get everyone behind Diana out. We just need to get Alona back to J's town. That way, Diana's men will definitely kidnap Alona. Whether it's to return Alona to Alvaro or something else."
"Sister I disagree. Alona is pregnant. I don't want to put my wife and my son at risk."
"Alexander.., you know Davis Moyes. He's the one Diana ordered to kidnap Alona. He is Diana's darkest son. Besides Diana had already asked Davis for help to save her during the last prisoner transfer."
"When is the trial of Diana finished?" ask Michael.
"9 to 10 months. Diana's already paid a famous lawyer. Besides, she's no ordinary woman. We have to work extra hard to prove that Diana was guilty of my parents' accident."
"I'm going to slow the trial process down to 12 months, that's one solution. Alona must have given birth in 12 months." Answer Michael.
"No! whatever harms Alona I don't agree with!" rebut Alexander.
"I have a plan for that. I'll tell Brother later after my plan can work out smoothly or not"
"Alexander we need to move faster!" Answer Alan.
"Silver take care of the registration of Raharaja Industry. I'll think about it tonight." replies Alexander didn't want to approve Alan's plan.
"Alan and Alexander you can take care of all the strategies. I'll keep Alona here. I want to stay longer with my sister Myrah. You can call me if you need my help." Michael answered with certainty.
