1 Broken promise

"I'll never leave you."

A promise that can never be kept.

The well-built man looked at a mirror that reflected his reflection, he was wearing a suit complete with a black tie that tied to the collar of his maroon shirt.

A suit that wraps a sturdy body and muscles hidden behind the smooth sleeves of the coat without the slightest crease.

The dark brown eyes were hidden behind thick and slightly curly eyelashes, the jaw was firmly balanced with the sharp straight nose without a break and the lips were naturally peach in color, there was a gap as if the lower lip was parted. His black hair was straight but thick, neatly arranged, and curled back following a comb with a pome that made him look radiant, a typical masculine look of a twenty-eight-year-old man.

The perfect man... That's what he's called.

But in this world nothing is perfect.

Behind his beautiful physical appearance, there is a hidden wound in the hole in his heart.

"Happy birthday." He said smiling faintly.

A birthday greeting not for himself but for someone he doesn't even know where he is.

"You're twenty-five now. That means you're a grown man now." The man said again, this time not at his reflection in the mirror but at a bonsai tree in the middle of the room.

"I wonder if you will still be arrogant and say that you are more handsome than me if you see how I look now." The man smiled wryly after pouring a glass of water on the bonsai tree which was about thirty-five centimeters tall.

"Like the previous year, I hope you are happy and we can meet again soon and..." The man sighed before continuing his sentence "...don't hate me."

With the sound of a knock on the door, the man then turned and saw a woman in her sixties with short hair stepped into the changing room where he was.

"Am I bothering you?" asked the woman softly.

"How can a mother interfere with her son, especially since my mother is very beautiful." The man smiled broadly as he hugged the woman.

"You should be seducing a girl and not this old me," she said chuckling without trying to let go of her son's embrace.

"My mother never ages, since I came until now, you are still charming." He said, not forgetting to gently kiss the cheek of the woman named Jane.

"You are good at seducing. How can I live without having a son like you." The woman's voice sounded soft, she smiled but her eyes flashed sadness.

"I hope you never regret being my son." She said again as she cupped the man's face, staring deep into his eyes that were sparkling but hiding sadness. Jane will never forget about the sin her husband had committed against this man before her.

"As long as it's you and Mark, I'll never regret it." He smiled before kissing the back of Jane's hand.

"You're so handsome Will." Praise Jane before taking her eyes off.

"Hurry down, your father and Mark are waiting at the table." She said casually and came out of the room of the man named William Alexander.

A monster chained you and you should call him Daddy.

"I'll never leave you."

"Big liar!" The brown-haired man smiled wryly at his reflection in the mirror. With an angry look hidden behind his dark eyes.

"You will regret leaving me." Said a well-built man with a tattoo that reads "Alone" on his left arm.

The man with a sharp nose and both big and clear eyes with thick and curly eyelashes but the shade made his eyes look droopy but made him look even more charming, his lips were peach-colored like a heart.

"I will always be more handsome than you." The man smiled before walking towards the big bed and then grabbed a leather jacket that was lying on the bed and put it on before finally stepping out of his room.

"Suprise!"

The man's steps stopped right in the doorway that he had not yet passed. A woman smiled sweetly at him with a birthday cake in her hand.

"Naughty girl. You want to give me a heart attack?" The man grumbled without hesitation but his voice still sounded soft.

The long-haired woman was not at all afraid to hear the scolding from the man who was taller than her.

"You've been in there too long, my legs are cramping you know!" She said bluntly, not forgetting that she pursed his lips and made her beautiful face turn adorable instantly.

The man smiled and took the cake that the brown-haired woman was holding before pulling her into his arms.

"Forgive me." Say sorry.

The woman released his arms and shook her head slowly "Don't apologize, I was just joking."

"Happy birthday Ray, my love." she continued before tiptoeing and gently kissing the cheek of the man named Rayhan.

Rayhan smiled, he then blew out the candle stuck on the cake.

"What's your request?" asked the woman named Rose enthusiastically.

"There isn't any." His answer was short before walking to lead Rose to the table in front of the television.

"You should make a wish."

"I don't want anything, because I already have you."

Rose's face blushed when she heard the seduction of her lover, not without reason because Rayhan rarely uttered seductive words.

"Look, you're blushing." Rayhan teased while cutting his birthday cake and giving Rose his first bite.

While chewing Rose muttered, "I'm not blushing." Avoid it.

"Really? Even though your face is very beautiful when you blush."

"Oh come on Ray, don't keep teasing me!" Rose protested nervously, now she really couldn't hide the blush on her face anymore because Rose could feel her face heating up.

Rayhan then smiled before putting down his cake and gently touching Rose's hand.

"I want to marry you."

Rose lifted her eyelashes and looked at Rayhan, reading the look on her lover's face whether he was joking or really.

"Will you marry me?"

"You're not teasing me are you?" Rose asked carefully, she didn't want to get her hopes up too much because before they fell in love, Rayhan had said that he would never marry.

Rayhan smiled, he then let go of Rose's hand and looked back at the television screen.

"Don't you have any plans today?" He asked changing the subject.

He was just joking...

Rose swallowed her disappointment and tried to keep a smile, "I have to get back to practice soon, my solo concert will be held in two weeks." She said, Rose immediately grabbed her bag and got up.

"I will go now." She said goodbye.

Rose couldn't, even though she tried to hold back her disappointment but she could feel her tears urging her to drip and suffocating her chest.

"Rose," Rayhan called back making Rose stop in her steps.

"Yes?" She answered without turning her head, while the tears were already in the corners of her eyes ready to fall.

"I'm not teasing you."

Rose's tears finally fell uncontrollably, when Rayhan's strong hands slowly hugged her from behind and hugged her warmly.

"Let's get married." He whispered, Rayhan slowly turned Rose's body to face him.

"Oh, I made you cry. I'm sorry." He chuckled softly, he didn't think that Rose would cry because he likes to tease his lover but the proposal he just said was sincere from the desire in his heart to immediately have Rose completely, his lover who had been with him for quite a long time.

"I want to live forever with you."

Rayhan briefly kissed Rose's forehead before wearing a necklace with the initials R with diamonds on Rose's neck.

"You bastard!" She cursed before hitting Rayhan's chest lightly and crying again.

"I love you," Rayhan said softly.

"I hate you," Rose replied, who was still annoyed, she had felt very disappointed before and it turned out that Rayhan was just playing with her. Even though Rose was happy now, there was still a bit of annoyance in her heart.

"So you don't love me anymore? You rejected my proposal?" Rayhan asked, his voice sounding as if he was disappointed even though he knew that Rose was only expressing her annoyance.

"Of course I accept!" she answered quickly while lifting her head to look at Rayhan, a handsome man who was still smiling teasingly. "You don't know that I love you so much." She squeaked softly before burying her face in Rayhan's chest.

"Just watch out if you dare to stop loving me." Ryan threatened.

"Will never!" Rose answered firmly, and of course, Rayhan's smile grew wider now.

"Too bad I wanted to hug you a little longer but you have to go practice." Rayhan's teasing made Rose hit his chest again.

"Oh come on Ray! You suck."

'My wish is, I want to meet my brother again and show him that I have a perfect life even though he left me.'
