Shackles Desire of Stepchildren
Do You Love Me, Bram?

Bram walked around the chair, then sat right next to Alice while holding Alice's hands and face so soft. Bram's treatment this time was so touching, that Alice did not know what to say anymore. He hugged Bram so tightly.

An unstoppable cry now broke through her arms in Bram's arms, everything Alice felt she told him without exception. It was as if Bram was the most convenient place for Alice to tell him all of the grunts of her heart.

Unexpectedly Bram was somehow she even shed her tears, while listening to every word for word Alice said pierced her heart. It turned out that the problem Alice was facing was much bigger than what Bram was currently feeling.

Bram wiped his tears, then released Alice's embrace and smilingly looked at her while wiping away all of Alice's tears.

"Stop grieves, stop crying and stop being a weak woman. You are now free from this dark place. Now it's time for you to smile happily, because you can fly away to pursue your dreams and take very good care of your Grandma."

"One more week, I'll take your grandmother abroad for treatment so that your Grandmother can recover and be with you. But, I'm sorry if your grandmother's departure can't use the plane I promised. I can only do everything according to my current economic ability."

Hearing that Bram's condition made Alice worried, she was actually very happy for her freedom. Plus Grandma will soon be treated abroad, just on the other side. I don't know why Alice feels like Bram's economy isn't doing well.

"Why is all this because you set me free? So, all your economy that you've built so well, is ruined because of me? If that's true, I'm sorry. I'll talk to Mr. Deo to give you all your money back and let me just keep working here. Because I-i-"

"Had spoken enough, I've worked hard to get you out of this prison. With such ease you say all that, don't you think about my feelings of being willing to fight to save your life?"

"Please, Lis. Don't make me feel guilty for the rest of my life for all the promises I made to you that I couldn't make. Did I ever say this promise in front of your Grandma, what if your Grandma would one day collect on this promise? I don't want to live in a shadow of guilt, because I failed to save your life forever."

Alice silenced a thousand languages, she could not believe that Bram was willing to do all that, just to save himself from this dark place in order to choose a brighter path.

For a long time they were silent looking at each other, with meaningful gazes. Where Alice began to open her mouth, it trembled slightly.

"W-do you love me, Bram?"

Degh's!

Alice's question managed to shock Bram, she did not expect Alice to ask such a deep thing. So that his face looks tense, his heart beats very fast like someone had a sudden heart attack, then his temple began to be filled with sweat.

Though the atmosphere there is very cold and also adem ayem, all thanks to his nervousness that began to spread throughout his body until it looks like a statue.

"God, Alice! We talked about Bram, ckk. Well, then surely he'll think if I wish he'd love me, arrghh no, no no!"

Alice's mind continued to babble in annoyance, as her mistake made Bram think hard to answer a question that was deep enough.

Until finally Alice tried to act calm, then ...

"Taraaa, prank! Haha ...."

"Oh, Bram, Bram. Could have taken a serious response to my question hahah ...."

"Don't think about it, it's just a joke. After all, you are serious, akhh. Let's go home, he says you want a bonus. So no, hem?"

Bram comes to his senses when Alice's words turn out to be a joke to him. Bram just got stuck and wanted to say that he was starting to have feelings for her, but none of that happened.

It felt so relieved, when his lips did not get too tired to say all his feelings.

"Huhh, fortunately he was quick to say all that. Otherwise I would be very embarrassed, if my answer was serious and in the end it was all just a prank. You suck!" said Bram's heart, upset.

"Ekhem, keep laughing. A satisfied laugh, I could be serious you even joke yes. Look at it later, I'll make you helplessly rummage under my hut!" bram continued to stare in annoyance at Alice, who was momentarily silent.

"Yakk, what's this! Here who want to give me the bonus I am, not you. So I'm gonna make you crank up, okay!" peekik Alice did not accept.

"Yes we'll see later, me or you will be the one who brushes. Let's go, Baby. Muach!"

Bram kisses Alice on the cheek and escapes first, fearing a lion's scratch. As soon as Bram, Alice immediately shrieked loudly full of anger and also annoyance. While Bram heard it was even more sticky to laugh at him with great satisfaction.

"Good, Bram! Just look later I'll torture you when I'm under my cage!" alice shouted as loudly as possible. Then he ran after Bram who kept on teasing him.

"No matter what he teases me, at least he forgot about my question. Just that I was curious about the answer, was Bram going to say yes or no? Huaa, why do I even think of that anyway. Oh, that's a forgetfulness, which is important now that I have to find a way to satisfy the Donkey. Until he's turned on his own game!"

Alice ran while talking in her heart. Until now they have arrived in the car, then Bram immediately drive his car home. Where it feels Bram is impatient to receive the bonus, while Alice he is still reluctant to look at Bram due to his regret.
