What's Your Decision?

Beer Garden Parking Area

Brugh!

"Young Master!"

Alrescha who couldn't hold back the dizziness and kept himself awake finally collapsed in Willy's arms. Yes, the assistant who called out to him panicked with a worried expression on his face.

Willy patted his Boss brother's cheek over and over, but it was still the face with closed eyelids that he got, faint.

"He said he wasn't drunk, Tsk," Willy snorted with a sigh of relief, before finally opening the back door with the help of two men who suddenly stood in front of him.

Brugh!

Alrescha was already lying in the back seat, Willy looked at the two men in front of him with a nod and an audible command.

"You guys go ahead and wait for me in the basement of the penthouse, okay?"

"Yes sir!"

"Go," said Willy before finally getting into his boss' brother's car and driving it at a moderate speed towards his boss' luxury penthouse.

In the car, he also took the time to glance through the rearview mirror, sighing with what happened to the young man who he considered his own brother.

He has worked as an assistant, as well as a friend of Alrescha's brother since elementary school. Seeing the two of them grow up without the love of their parents, made him have the utmost sympathy for both of them.

Moreover, he also knows how all the unfortunate events that befell his boss's family and it makes him sad too.

Mr. Al, you don't know why Mr. El forbids this. But, I hope you can understand why you have to forget that woman, Willy thought sadly.

The next day….

In the spacious room with white paint, lay a man on a king size bed with his eyes still closed. And not long after, there was the sound of a door opening with a man entering it using a wheelchair.

Creak!

The creaking sound of the wheels seemed to be enough to wake the sleeping man, seen from the movement and also the eyelids that finally opened, blinking with a frown and a groan could be heard.

Uhk….

It wasn't just someone in a wheelchair who got in there, but the maid who brought the tray and set it up on the table in the room.

Click!

The wheelchair restraints snapped in an audible sound, then the man nodded as the maid cleared to leave the room. So, now it was just him and the man on the bed who finally slowly tried to sit up.

Yes, sitting while holding his dizzy head, seemed to spin with pain that also attacked.

Sshhh…

The sick hiss reached the ears of the man in the wheelchair, who immediately rebuked him with his usual warm greeting.

"Good morning, Al. Are you feeling better or getting dizzy?"

Sret!

"Elf...."

Al—Alrescha immediately turned his head and muttered to someone who called out to him. He shook his head again, the headache coming on more intensely, although not like other people who would vomit if they hang over after a hangover.

"Wash your face, let's have breakfast here, while looking at the view from the balcony of your room," said the older brother—Elfarebi who still wore a faint smile, and a warm tone without any emotion in his eyes.

Alrescha did not immediately obey, but gripped his mane again feeling dizzy for a moment, only then got out of bed and staggered towards the bathroom.

Slam!

The door closed leaving Elfa staring at his brother's innocent back which was getting stronger. He just realized that his brother has grown up and should also know about their real situation and life.

"Al, I'm sorry my dear," Elfa whispered softly.

In the bathroom

Alrescha, now standing in front of the mirror, stared at his messy face, with the water soaking his remnants from the splash when he washed his face.

How can he be like this? Drunk and worried about his brother.

Even though he didn't see that gaze, he felt that his brother was sad to see him like this.

"What should I do, Gretta?" Alrescha whispered frustrated.

He was against his brother's wishes because he wanted to be with that woman. But, that woman is no longer in this world. Then, why did he survive like this?

No, what should I do?

He gripped his mane again, before exhaling over and over again hoping to calm down.

Huft…. Huft….

He opened the water faucet again, then washed his already wet face over and over again to get rid of his troubled expression.

Crash…

The messy mane was sugared back, with the water drenched in it and a harsh gust was heard one last time, before finally the expression on his face returned to normal.

Calm down, Al. Don't let Elfa know you're like this, but how can I get to my room? Did Willy take me home? Ah! I didn't embarrass you last night did I? Tsk, dammit!

The last curse coincided with Alrescha's decision, which finally opened the door to the damp room, about to meet his brother who was waiting for him outside.

Shit!

Creak!

Slam!

Alrescha closed the door, but he did not move from there and looked at his brother who was reading the newspaper with saliva swallowed hard.

Glup!

"Okay, relax Al," he mumbled reassuringly and then walked over to his brother, who now turned his gaze to him as he folded the newspaper back.

Tap!

"Good morning," said Alrescha flatly, covering the awkwardness even though he didn't find an exaggerated expression from his brother who nodded.

"Good morning, Al. Sit down and have breakfast first," said Elfa, pointing to the chair in front of her with a warm smile.

Alrescha didn't reply with words, just sat obediently in front of Effa who gave him a cup of coffee with added creamer.

"Just a little creamer," said Elfarebi as the cup was taken over by his brother who nodded.

"Hn, thank you, Elf."

"You're welcome."

After that no one spoke, only the movement of hands and mouth as the two decided to eat the breakfast dish prepared by the maids.

In the spacious room, there was only silence with the sound of eating utensils and finally the sound of gulping, and the movement of wiping the corners of the lips in a classy style.

"Thanks for the food," Alrescha muttered to break the silence.

"You're welcome."

Silence, the two were silent again and this time it was finally the older brother who broke the silence with a question. Then Alrescha, silent without being able to answer.

"Have you found it yet?"

Silence

"Did you mess up last night because you couldn't find it?"

"Then what is your decision?"

There was no answer, Elfa paused from his question and waited for his young brother's answer while looking at the sad expression in the dim sharp eyes.

"Al-

"I'll go to America and do what you say without arguing."

Thump!

Elfa swallowed back his words and looked at his young brother in disbelief. He didn't expect his stubborn brother to just give up without doing anything.

"I only want the best for you, Al."

"I know, then I will go and be successful," said Alrescha looking at his brother seriously.

"Are you sure?" Elfa asked firmly.

"Hn."

"Is it still because of that woman?" Elfa asked to reassure herself, before actually letting his brother fly even higher.

"Her name is Gretta."

"I mean-

"Yes."

Thump!
