"Oh, Brother Adam, brother-in-law. Where are you guys from?" grace asked as she stared in shock at her two brothers who had just returned from outside. He then looked towards the clock that was attached to the wall. "It's five in the morning. Did you guys just get home from exercising?"
Adam doesn't care about Grace's question. He chose to take Rose to sit on the sofa while carrying a few new packages of rujak in his purchase.
"Grace, is Cesar gonna take you to practice?" ask Rose.
"No, sister-in-law. He has made a training schedule for me and usually Cesar will come to train after coming home from the office. Now I'm just going to do my usual warm-up before someone comes to pick me up here" Grace replied. Then he sat down. "Sister, you haven't answered my question. Where are you guys from this half? If you're exercising, you can't just be in your sleeping pajamas, right?"
"I hate people who ask so many questions!" sergeant Adam stared coldly at Grace. It felt really noisy as his sister continued to ask him questions and also to Rose.
"Dam, you go in the room first. I'll wake you up!" rose said as she stroked Adam's chest, who was getting upset with Grace. She then smiled slightly as this husband let out a long sigh.
"Can't we go together, Honey? It's still very early, what do you want to do here," asked Adam unwillingly to sleep without his padded bolster pillow.
"I want to make breakfast for you. I want to invite Grace to enjoy this journey. Who knows, he likes it" Rose replied as she lifted a little package of rye.
"Haihhhh, okay. But later after everything is done, go to the room. You know not that I can't sleep well without hugging you?"
Rose nodded. She then smiled as Adam kissed her forehead long before going to their room. After that, Rose turned to look at Grace, whose face had turned red after seeing what Adam had just done.
"There's a time when you're gonna feel like what you just saw, Grace. And I think it's going to happen soon" Rose said.
"What do you mean, brother. What's going to happen soon," asked Grace puzzled. He stared fixedly at the brother-in-law who was now starting to enjoy the fruit.
Oh, my God, it's still five in the morning. But why would Rose dare to eat such food? He's not afraid of stomach pain, is he?
"Hmmm, sometimes we cannot realize the beauty of something that is near us. However, something has unconsciously controlled your heart and mind. Maybe at the beginning you just assume that something is just a game to prove something. But without you knowing it, it has become something you really want. You want to know what an example is?"
Unknowingly Grace nodded. He was quite curious where his sister-in-law would bring their conversation flow.
"The example is feeling. And now, you're playing with your own feelings. Am I right?"
"Playing with my own feelings. This ... What does this mean, brother? I was really confused to digest it," Grace said.
"You like Cesar!" sahut Rose cold. He then put the cut of the snake into his mouth and chewed it very slowly as his eyes continued to notice the change in expression on Grace's face. "Honestly, you don't have to point me out!"
Grace blinked her eyes. He then threw his face in the other direction, a little embarrassed and also shocked from where his sister-in-law could find out about this.
"There's really nothing wrong with that feeling of yours, Grace. But you need to know that Cesar is not as simple as I often see. He is complicated, and also full of danger. I'm not saying this because I want to relax the feelings you're keeping for her, but I'm telling you to know that Cesar won't be that easy to conquer. He was rude, he was temperament, and he was also full of mysteries. I'm afraid you'll get hurt!"
"Is he that mysterious, brother?" ask Grace carefully. She then ventured to look at her brother-in-law who was smiling strangely.
"Yes, he's very mysterious. And for now it's just me, Adam, and one more person who can control it. Besides, everything was just considered trash by Cesar," Rose replied truthfully.
Grace immediately gulped as soon as she heard her sister-in-law's answer. Instantly his guts shrunk when he remembered his determination that was so eager to conquer Cesar. In a count as a normal man, Cesar falls into the category of men and women longing. In addition to Grace who was upset because she continued to be ignored, actually Grace began to put more sense into her. Their togetherness had been growing unusual seeds in Grace's heart which made her more eager to practice.
"Grace, the feeling problem is the most sensitive issue. Because that feeling can destroy something very important, which is trust. So before you fall deeper, I suggest you should immediately dispose of your feelings. It's not what. I'm just worried that Cesar will finish you off if you get caught up because of the taste you crave for yourself. Because if that were to happen, Adam and I would never help you. Understood?" say Rose again.
"W-what? Y-you and Brother Adam will not help me? B-but why? Do you not care about me anymore?" cecar Grace was shocked to hear the frontal remarks of her sister-in-law. Indeed, he did not expect that his brother-in-law would be so kind to him. This is fucking crazy. Really very crazy.
"We don't care about you, Grace. Just a second ago I reminded you, the time you've forgotten immediately anyway?" sahut Rose with a small smile. "I've warned you about how dangerous a Cesar is. But if you get into trouble with him, that means you don't heed the ban I've been saying. In short, you would rather die than live a good life. So Adam and I have no right to defend or help you from Cesar's anger because you chose to go forward even though I warned you. You're the one who's making trouble, so you have to take the risk yourself!"
"Does this mean that I really have no hope of becoming Cesar's girlfriend?"
"Hope certainly exists. But you need to do a great proof that that proves that will catch Cesar's attention."
"Example?"
Rose still did not answer. He looked closely at Grace then offered her to eat rujak.
"You want eat?"
"No, tengkiyu!"
"Gracia Clarence?"
"Yes?"
"When are you going to continue your studies, hm? You've been ignoring your education long enough. Don't you want to go back to college and meet your other friends?" rose asked to switch the conversation.
"Sister-in-law, I don't care if I'm going to be a scholar or not. Because what I live now is much more challenging compared to my daily life in college. My mom and dad never cared about me anymore. So I refused to go back to education!" grace answered firmly.
"You sure you won't regret it?"
"Very sure. Brother Adam will inherit all of Papa's possessions, while I have decided to go with him. So there's no reason to go back to that boring place. It's a waste of time, brother!"
"alright. Since you've made up your mind, then the day after tomorrow come with me to Country N. Who knows if Adam and I can use your powers to protect my future son. Because there, you will enter what the real world is. You will also soon feel how much the world does not accept a weak and cowardly person. Are you ready?" ask Rose with emphasis.
"Whether not prepared I must remain ready if it is related to the safety of my future nephew!" grace answered so boldly. "Even if I'm willing, brother-in-law. Really!"
Rose chuckles. He then took Grace to the kitchen to make breakfast. It's exciting to also see the determination of Grace who turns out to be very concerned about her baby candidate. Make Rose love it more and more.
