Of course the first thing the woman wanted to do was hug her older brother whom she had not seen for a very long time. Although the circumstances of his brother like this, although his brother is not as handsome as before, although he is not as brave as before, but the man is still his brother. And he was a man who had a blood bond with her, other than her father of course. But Rose no longer considered that person. For him, his family is now only his brother. Only Victor Rose has.
He still remembered the warning Ben had issued for him. It is forbidden to cry or feel pity. His job is to make his brother always smile and eager to do the healing process later. Therefore Rose chose a joyful expression as she ran small towards her brother.
"Kakaakk!", so did his loud cry with a perfectly developed smile.
A man sitting in a wheelchair turned to the waiter next to him. A hue of happiness appeared simultaneously on his third face. Especially Victor, the man really felt lucky because in the rest of his life, his wish could be granted to meet his sister.
"Rose! Is that you, my brother?", said Victor as if in disbelief. His eyes, his nose was hot. The clear liquid had seeped and escaped the man's eyes. He cried, so happy he could meet his little sister who he had not met for years.
"Yes, it's me! Rose, sis!", said Rose enthusiastically as she crouched down and held her brother's hand.
"You weren't this big before. Not even this pretty!", Victor pinched his sister's nose squash. Because when Victor chose to leave, Rose was still a teenager. This sister has not yet transformed into a beautiful adult woman like this, downhill the beauty of her mother.
"Sister won't hug me?", asked the spoiled Rose as she spread her hands up.
"Of course, come here!", Victor had stretched out his arms to welcome Rose into his arms. The two of them smiled happily, but Rose's expression slightly changed while in her brother's arms. Like he was struggling to suppress something in his heart.
From a distance Ben looked at it with a gaze that was difficult to decipher. He could not see Rose's tormented expression at this moment as his face was blocked by Victor's head next to him. But what Ben saw was a haru meeting that warmed his heart.
"So how does it feel to have a family?", he murmured to himself.
"Ben! Comehere! You don't want to join?!", Victor's hand waved at Ben. He invited his friends to talk with them.
"Yes!", in fact he was reluctant to do such things. It's just that for the sake of looking at Victor who is his old friend who is quite reluctant, then Ben just agree. Rose was there anyway, probably not too boring she thought.
"Ahh yes Ben, Rose! This is the butler in my house, his name is Uncle Alex. All my needs he takes care of. And if you need anything then talk to him" Victor told the two. Uncle Alex bowed politely to greet him.
"I'm Alex, you can call me anytime!", the middle-aged man introduced himself.
"Hi, Uncle Alex! I'm Rose!", greet Rose kindly. And was answered with a nod by him.
"It's been like a calling man!", Rose felt amused herself.
Ben seemed to understand with the strange smile that Rose let out, directly staring intently at him.
"Not polite!", said Ben slowly but still he addressed to his friend's sister.
Rose who heard it just flicked her lips towards the eccentric man. Fool thinks Rose, as long as Uncle Alex doesn't know it. Then as if he had heard nothing, Rose put on an indifferent face while spreading her gaze around the garden.
"Waahh brother!!! Here are many flowers!", Rose excited and then ran towards the flowers that were blooming.
"Don't run!" he shouted a little loudly while shaking his head. Seeing his sister so happy, Victor's heart and mind felt at peace. Like getting a special stimulus that made him feel excited again to see the cheerful smile of his little sister.
"Victor!", Ben patted his friend's shoulder.
"Your point is to ask me to stay here, right?" Ben said sharply but did not mean to press.
"Come guys, why are you staying in that hotel alone. Relly's back at base, isn't she! Rather than you being lonely in that big building, you better stay here with us. This house is still enough to accommodate a few more people. Yeah, although not as fancy as the hotel you rented. But I think it's better than being lonely. And now there's Rose here, with her presence living will be more colorful, Ben", clearly Victor who could not help his smile while looking at his sister who was perching to and fro like a butterfly.
"He's your brother! Then what's the deal with me?", asked Ben fiercely.
Instead of answering, Victor chuckled first. He was always funny with his friend who was always serious like that, and since long ago.
"Yes right, he's your sister! It has nothing to do with me!", Ben answered his question with a stiff face.
"Stay here, man! This place is also far from the crowd. Safe enough for you, I assure you!", Victor made an offer that Ben would consider.
"Yes, I assure you!", replied Victor casually.
"I hired some of your men on behalf of Uncle Alex to stand guard around my house in disguise as neighborhood residents. Although I had left that world a long time ago, but there were still some enemies that were stalking me. Plus there was Rose at the moment, so I added security around my house", Victor explained as he looked at his smiling sister as he waved his hand.
"Geez! There's also a lot of your money apparently!", he sis Ben in disbelief. He did not expect his former gang members who had long resigned, now even hired former colleagues. Because to hire people from the White Tiger Gang needs to cost a lot. Need to save savings of course.
"Hey, I've been saving up for a long time, a long time before even knowing,, my illness" Victor cried weakly at the end of his sentence. His eyes turned soft and teary.
"Don't crybaby! That's not you!", Ben quipped in a flat voice but sounded quite soft in Victor's ears.
"Ceh!", which finally made Victor cluck as he smiled at his friend.
From a distance that is visible is Rose who is enjoying the beauty of the flowers in the garden. In fact, from the first moment he ran towards one flower bud and lowered his head, which was visible from there was Rose who was breathing the fragrant aroma that was bubbly throughout the garden. But what actually happened was, that he immediately shed his tears instantly. He could not help this sad feeling. Seeing the helplessness of her brother, made Rose's heart ache. If only they could share the pain and be happy together, it would be so much fun, he thought. And after this Rose promised, he would do anything for the recovery of his brother later.
"Who's the guy?", asked Ben suddenly with a sinister look on his face and a cold, pressing aura. Ben's question refers to the people who are still stalking Victor all this time, even though his friend has for years left their world.
"Someone with the surname Peterson! I heard that person decided to move to this country to find myself", Victor replied calmly. But a stroke of worry settled on the iris of his eyeball. Not about him, but about his brother who is now with him.
"I don't care about myself, because I'm not much anymore. But this is about Rose. Honestly, my request is very risky. But how else, I can no longer hold back my longing for Rose. I want Rose to be by my side in the last moments of my life" he added in a raucous voice. Victor held back his cries.
"Stop talking!", orders Ben firmly but not impressed fiercely. The man did not want to hear things that made his friend emotionally chaotic.
"Someone from the Peterson family" Ben murmured while thinking.
"Is it possible,,," Ben's words came to a halt upon seeing Rose's arrival. And Victor had also signaled to stop what he was about to say. They will swallow the matter together without Rose's knowledge as her sister. Ben understands that.
"All right! I'm going to stay here for a while" Ben suddenly said with his flat face. And the brothers had different expressions when they heard it.
