Chapter 22: Chapter 22

The next morning, Storm woke up early. He couldn't sleep much because he felt like he was changing inside their house. He is innovating without his parents. He changes and finds that only his brother is with him. And he couldn't understand the feeling he had since yesterday when he saw Ashy with his brother. He was surprised that she would be the one to marry him. How and when he could not explain?

He did not know how it happened. He didn't know that, with the dynamic number of women, Ashy was still there. Why the woman he loved so much?

He came to the country not knowing what was true. There are things that are hard to believe that are here and they are true. Right through his face, his brother is soon yo get married.

He sat on the veranda of their house where he used to hang out. This is it and their house has changed a lot.

Its design has changed since their parents died.

Even though they are not that close to each other, there are still things where they get along.

"You're awake. It's still early, huh? You don't have jetlag?" Later, he heard the question of the brother behind him, who was still holding coffee and looked like he was obviously just waking up.

"I'm okay. The trip isn't tiring. I'm also not used to waking up late." He drank the coffee he was holding, then sat down on the chair. He don't want go open up anything as much as possible.

"Thank you that you come home. Somehow I can focus on arranging my wedding. Finally, " he replied.

"Where did you met her? I mean, how?" He closed his eyes for a moment, then looked up again.

"Ahh.. youean Ashy? I first saw her at my welcome party. Then Jem and her friend introduced her to me. She became my personal secretary and we became friends. Gradually we developed." He replied that he looked very proud of himself.

"It's good then. I thought..." he was going to continue to say something, but he didn't.

"You thought I wouldn't have a girlfriend? You thought I'd be like this forever. There's no plan for myself. Life has no destination." It's an emotional reaction.

"I didn't say anything like that. It's up to you and you know what is good enough for you.. you're old and I don't need to remind you anymore. Just do your part and you'll get what's right for you." It is a serious answer.

They did not even openly say that it was obvious that there was a gap between the two of them. No matter how close they are, there is something that separates them.

"You don't have to say for me to understand. You're not just the smart Storm, everyone has their own talents." He look at him and drink coffee.

"If you're going to build a house, make sure it's the right way. No one else will be affected, the decision that you don't have to sacrifice anything just to get what you want. You're no longer a child, Paul. " It was a strong answer from him. He stared at it intently, not knowing where his words were coming from.

"If you're going to come with me to the office, you'd better get ready. Come with me." His order then turned his back on the brother who did not know where his words came from.

"You go first. I know the way to get there." Storm replied in the negative and stood up from his seat.

Paul just shook his head and went up to his room to get ready and then entered the office. He had to take a few months off so they could take care of their wedding. He wanted Ashy and him to be hands-on in preparing for this.

Storm didn't go with the brother. He waited for it to leave before going down to his room. He could not understand why he was suddenly bored with his brother. Ohh, before they really didn't get along. Is it because of the fact that Ashy will be his wife?

Even if he tried to dismiss the woman in his mind, he could not do it. It is inevitable to think of the times they were together. Sometimes they are in bed together. To observe the beautiful lust of her body that he would not tire of looking at and kissing.

He closes his eyes to get Ashy out of his mind. It's not right for him to think that way about the woman his brother will going to marry.

He decided to go down so that he could enter as well. He needs to hold the sibling position briefly so that it can focus on wedding preparations.

When he arrived at the office, he was amazed at the entrance. He could not hide the admiration within him. Most of all, he couldn't hide his excitement about seeing Ashy again.

When he arrived at the office, he first saw Ashy sitting in the swivel chair near the sliding door.

"Good morning, sir." Thank you for his fortification.

Instead of answering, he chose to remain silent and enter the brother's office.

"So what's ongoing to talk about? Is there a new project?" Storm asked immediately, as he sat down in the chair near the desk.

"It's a problem, just in time as you arrived.?"He replied that the problem looked serious because his forehead was furrowed.

"What is it?" Storm asked.

"I need to leave for maybe a month or more. There's an emergency from the site where the branch is being built and I need to go there. I can't help but go." He answered with a smirk on his forehead, not knowing what to do.

"I can go there. You're the only one left here. I know what to do." He gave it a choice.

"If it's possible, why not. I'm the one who needs it because I'm the one who signed the contracts, then no one else can. When it takes time, then there's a problem. Did you pray for it?" It looked at him as if he was to blame.

"Why should I? I see no reason to do that." He opened his arms to show his disbelief about his brother's accusations.

"Then you have to stay here. "Please behave. " he warned him as if it meant something.

"People changed Paul. Even though I'm not that kind, I'm also as hobby as you think." It is a serious answer.

It just kept quiet so that their conversation wouldn't escalate.

He knew the brother. It is easy to doubt, and those doubts are frequently correct.

He couldn't help but blame Ashy, who was obviously also serious about what she was doing. He really wanted to talk about it, but he didn't know how. He doesn't want his brother to know what's true between them and his girlfriend.

"How are you and your girlfriend? I mean, how long have you been together? " He asked that even he himself was not sure if what he thought to ask was right.

"We're okay. Ash is kind. She's still open to me and I've never seen her hide any secret. So I didn't hesitate to asked her to get married. Do you think she'll be a good housewife? " He asked later.

Storm didn't know what to answer. He didn't even know if he was right to say yes. He knew just how much Ashy had hoped for him back then. He was already so hurt that he didn't take her into account during their conversation. She hide and did not show up for a long time. This is something he will not let happen to his brother. As much as he could, he would find a way to keep his brother away from her. If that was any way, he didn't know yet.

"You've been quiet there for a long time. My question is simple. I'm not asking how many fish are all under the sea. " Smiling, he tapped it on the shoulder.

"I don't know. I don't know her, so I don't know the answer to your question. " He answers him. Its a lie.

"Anyway, it's only now that you've met. It doesn't matter that you'll still know her because you're together here in the office every day. She doesn't want to stay at home while we're taking care of the wedding so you can get to know her better." He added to this.

Storm didn't know what those moments would feel like. His conscience whispers, but the desire to make his brother happy and prove himself prevails.

"You don't have to be together all the time to get to know someone. Usually you just think you'll get to know each other. "

Later, Ashy stormed inside the office where the siblings were talking.

She smiled at the brother. He didn't even look at her. Please let her know that she does not exist in this world. Deep inside her, she was hurt by the way he treated her. She's not used to being treated like that.

"Hon, do you need anything?" It is a kind question to Paul.

"No hon. I'll be out of the country for a month or more. I'm sorry about this, but I really need to leave. Anyway, Storm will be the first to be with you. I had already told him. the upcoming transactions and it's up to you. We still have time to get married. " He held out his hand to feel its perception.
