The Sweetest Dreams

Harmonious Family

Today is the beginning of the week on Monday, March 16, 2020.

Selena and Bryan are back together before and after school. Bryan had spoken carefully with Winston that he could not continue the learning team after school. Initially, Winston complained because he himself needed guidance and knowledge from Bryan. However, inevitably he also agreed to Bryan's request after being bribed by an expensive handkerchief from Bryan.

Winston, Selena's class president's girlfriend, including students who are materialistic, political, likes to argue and argue, and a little sneaky.

After school..

"Bryan's. Why did you finally decide not to teach anymore?"

"Selena, how could I have been able to stay out of sight for so long? Do you think I'll do that until I graduate 2nd grade?" bryan said in a half-protest tone.

"Good, fine. You don't think so either. How could I not have seen you that long, Bryan..?" selena said shyly.

"Selena.." Bryan hugged the girl.

"Bryan.you're fragrant." Selena's face grew even more blushing as she said the compliment.

"Eh? Haha. Shouldn't I be the one to tell you that? What kind of shampoo and soap are you wearing, Selena? Your body smells like apples."

"Apples?"

"Yes, it smells like fruits. Smells kids, I like it."

"A, Bryan. You are this." said Selena, so her cheeks blushed, she directly touched her own two cheeks.

"Haha. You're sweet, deh. Apple girl."

"Stop joking" said Selena, still with a blushing face.

"Celena. Have you ever read quotes from famous personalities, such as Winston Churchill? I mean, it's not the Winston we know that is. haha."

"Ah, that's if the character I've never read. I like the work of Helen Keller. Sometimes I use her quotes for school magazines." Selena answered honestly.

"Oh, so. I think our two inspirational figures are famous in their writing" Bryan said, crossing his arms.

"Yes, that's right. One of Helen Keller's quotes that I remember is - happiness comes not merely from seeking that which complements us, but from within"

"Oh, so. Hmm. If I were, the quote I remember most from Winston Churchill was - don't let go of your girlfriend, anyway.-"

Selena laughed out loud, then said; "Ah, Bryan. You are.. Where could there be such a quote?"

"Haha. Caught too."

"Bryan, you son of a bitch. Of course I know." Selena replied with a face expression to reprimand, but instead held back her smile that continued to crack.

"I'm kidding. One of Winston Churchill's famous quotes is - - if you face hell, keep walking through it.-"

Selena was slightly surprised by the quote taken by Bryan. It was as if he pondered for a moment, then said; "Ah, in one quote. I got goosebumps. Is there no other more beautiful quote?" selena said as she turned towards Bryan with her sweet smile.

Yet..

"Selena. I don't want to talk about this anymore. Oh right, since today we both have no activities, what if I go to your house and meet your family?" bryan said with a flash to cover up the expression of his face that had turned dark.

However, Bryan's previous facial expression had been captured by both Selena's eyes and head. The girl said; "Bryan.. Are you okay?"

"Hm? Whatchu mean?"

"Just now, your face looks sad. I've never seen that look on your face. Are you okay?" selena said what it is.

"Selena, we're just talking at your house. I want to meet your family." Bryan replied, again without a smile.

"Oh. ok." Selena finally complied and did not ask again.

Upon arrival at the front of the house, Selena got down from Bryan's car and rang the doorbell. Soon, Miranda, Selena's mother came out of the house and walked to the gate to open it.

"Selena, you're home, son. Ah, you came too, Bryan." Selena's mother said kindly to Bryan, after staring at his daughter.

"Yes, Aunt. Long time no see." Bryan replied with a polite smile.

"Ouch, ouch. You are not only handsome, but also polite. Aunty is happy because there is currently someone guarding Selena" said Selena's mother, as if she had obtained a future daughter-in-law.

"Ma, today Bryan just visited the house for the first time. So don't confuse him."

"If that's what mom knows too, Selena. Didn't you look forward to his visit?" said his mother, surfing the flowing river water.

Bryan immediately glanced at Selena with a slanted smile and an eyebrow raised next to her, like catching a wet secret of Selena.

"Ma-Mama! Why the hell Mama can't keep raha-" Selena's face blushing, but her words stopped immediately seeing Bryan's reaction. "W-what?" exclaim Selena clumsy.

Bryan just chuckled. Seeing the behavior of the two children, Miranda smiled meaningfully. Then, he told the two children to enter the house, while he closed the gate and the door of the house.

After entering the house, Bryan was immediately welcome to sit on the living room sofa by Selena's mother. Then, Bryan spontaneously asked; "Tante, papa Selena hasn't come home yet?"

Miranda smiled gently and replied; "Of course, Bryan. The father usually comes home from work late at night. It's still 3pm."

"Ah, right too.." Bryan felt stupid, because actually he was a little nervous so he spoke nonsense.

Then, Bryan suddenly heard a small child's voice calling out the word 'brother' and ran towards the living room.

"Sister's home yet? Ben kangen is the same brother." said Ben, a boy who is very dwarf and adorable in the eyes of Bryan.

"Ben, brother's home. Look, who is this?" selena said with a smile and pointed towards Bryan.

Ben just fell silent and looked at Bryan with a suspicious look.

Bryan felt anxious, then he crouched down to be able to look back at Ben's face.

"You're Ben, that smart little guy and that's a lot of whims, huh?" bryan said with a smile.

Ben was hesitant to answer, but he seemed happy to be praised by Bryan. He just looked at Bryan while wriggling like a cat-shy squid.

"Haha. You're so cute, like your brother." Bryan said as he stroked the little boy's head.

Suddenly, Ben had glued himself to Bryan. In fact, he did not want to take off his embrace at Bryan's feet. Seeing that adorable demeanor, Bryan immediately lifted up Ben's tiny body and carried it in one of his arms.

"Ben, what age are you? How is it that smart to judge people?" cananda Bryan's.

Ben giggled, then replied; "I'm 5 years old, brother. By the way, Bryan's brother is very handsome. It fits perfectly with Selena's beautiful sister like the princess. From now on, Bryan's brother is Ben's idol and Selena's sister."

"Benn..!" selena's face was slightly flushed, as again it seemed that her family was slowly divulging all of Selena's secrets about Bryan.

"Ahaha. You guys are so funny. This time I met a brother like you. I'm glad I got to visit today."

Seeing Bryan's sincere facial expression, Miranda smiled. Then, after he had made something in the kitchen, he brought it and presented it to the three children.

After a while of laughing and enjoying time together with the Selena family, Bryan's face suddenly became grim and difficult to decipher.

However, when anyone asks him, Bryan always shifts the subject and seems to try to cover things up with a smile that he can show as much as possible.

They did not ask Bryan again. However, from then on, Selena felt that something Bryan had experienced. Something that may be bitter and unpleasant to tell.

Selena looked at Bryan affectionately and inexplicably a little pity. Perhaps, the man will be able to forget whatever has made him express himself, if from now on Selena pay more attention to Bryan as much as the attention that man gives to her.
