Trapped in Jorell's Love
Chapter 24 - Mario's Mind

Now only Jorell and Mazaya are left in the living room. Jorell still felt jealous of the interaction between Mazaya and Liam. He also unconsciously asked.

"It looks like you're very close to Liam."

"We are friends" Mazaya replied.

"But you weren't so with me? You're always cuey, and jutek. Why does she look so friendly?" jorell asked.

"Don't tell me you're jealous?" guess Mazaya.

"Yes, I'm jealous."

The deg!

Mazaya's heart was pounding. He did not expect Jorell would agree to his guess.

"Oh, don't talk about it. You better go home too. I want a break."

"Are you really going to kick me out of here? No regrets?"

Mazaya nodded.

"Okay, I'll go home first. May it heal quickly. And then you still owe me."

"Yes, I remember. No need to keep reminding me!"

Jorell returns from Mazaya's home. Mazaya felt a sense of silence after Jorell left. He even took a few breaths.

Until Mazaya did not realize that her sister had been there to notice the interaction between her brother and Jorell who had just known her. He knew if there seemed to be anything between his brother and the man.

"Sister," call Mario who is already standing behind Mazaya.

"Hm?" he answered while looking back.

"May I ask you something?"

"Ask me."

Mario sat next to his brother. He looked at his face looking at his brother.

"An honest answer, brother! Who was that guy exactly? Why does it seem to be so attentive to my sister. It is impossible if you are just a co-worker. His gaze was not like that of a friend but that of a loved one."

Mazaya took her breath slowly. Should I be honest with my sister? Shall?

"He's a co-worker and ex-boyfriend of my sister" replied Mazaya who finally decided to be honest with her sister.

"Then why did you break up? Doesn't she love him anymore?" ask Mario again.

Mazaya was silent. He doesn't have to tell his sister everything, does he? I just don't want his sister to be a lot of thought because you have to think about the problem as well.

"Maybe it doesn't fit. It's over, after all, Rio."

Mario looked at his brother's words. He felt his brother was lying. But he didn't want to ask her again. There may be a reason why her sister wouldn't tell her. However, there were times when he also wanted to be relied upon by his brother.

"Yes, don't go home at night.

Mario nodded.

Mario walked with his hand in his pants pocket. He kept thinking of his brother who was like hiding something from him. He even until now did not know the reason why his brother moved to where he is now. Though if you think about it more comfortable in the place before. But he couldn't stay there alone either. Because her brother is the only family she has now.

Apparently, on the way, he also saw Liam who was sitting under a tree while closing his eyes. With his ignorant fashion, he shocked Liam until the man was shocked and opened his eyes.

"Dor!!"

"God! Haish!! You're just shocking Rio!" startled Liam.

"Hehe, did you sleep here? If you want to sleep, just go home and fall on the bed."

"Huh! The problem is I can't sleep."

"Well, what did you just try?"

"I just closed my eyes and felt the fresh air here."

"Oh, so."

Mario sat next to Liam. He even took his breath slowly. Liam was a little surprised and immediately asked Mario.

"You why? Any problems at school?"

Mario shakes.

"Am I too young to know about adult problems?"

"Why ask that?"

"Soalah Mazaya never shared his problems with me. Sometimes I feel like my presence is of no use to my brother at all. I always rely on him in anything."

Liam understands what Mario has poured out. He could think the same as Mario. But, on the other hand, he also knew, surely Mazaya only wanted to show his strong side in front of his sister. Because if he was weak, who would be the reinforcement between the two.

Liam patted Mario's shoulder slowly.

"Not sharing your problems with you doesn't mean you're useless or unreliable by your brother. But, maybe he has his own way of solving the problem. So, rather than keep thinking about it. You better study hard so your brother's proud of you."
