Brotherhood

Leeray and Michael were in shock when they heard their youngest brother's words.

Michael was the first to comment. "You're crazy, James! How many years is she older than you?"

"She's 32 years old, Bro. And I'm not crazy yet, Bro, but I'm crazy in love, yeah. hehehe," James replied, still joking even though he knew his two brothers were in deeply shock.

According to James, it was better to tell his two brothers first and ask for their support before asking for his approval from his father.

"James I feel like I'm going to pass out. It's a big shock," Leeray said honestly.

"Ahh Elder Lee, that's too much ahh ... Later James will send the photo first and then you will comment again. I'll turn off the phone first. Bye Bro," James said then turned off the group video call and then sent Laura's photo to his brothers.

Leeray and Michael received a photo of James's girlfriend on their respective cellphones, the girl was taking a selfie with James who hugged her from behind.

The two brothers fell silent because they were still in shock knowing that James was dating his lecture who had a professorship. What's the 11 year difference? Sugar baby and aunty, they thought.

Leeray, James's eldest brother, is 35 years old. His face is handsome with a sharp nose, monolid eyes and pink lips with cheekbones that are not too high and slightly chubby cheeks that are covered with hair that is starting to grow in abundance. His stature is the same as James with a height of 182cm.

Meanwhile, Michael, James's second brother, is 27 years old, only 6 years older than James. His face is also charismatic and has the same genes as his two brothers, but he is diligent in shaving the mustache and sideburns on his face so that he looks the same age as James. His stature is also stocky like his two brothers with a height of 175cm.

The handsome prince of the Indrajaya clan is indeed being hunted by upper class family who has a single daughter. The reason is, the property business empire of the Indrajaya clan is very successful.

Their descendants will be guaranteed a prosperous life for up to seven generations and even more. But their Papi, Leonard Indrajaya, did not like the arranged marriage for his sons. For him, marriage must be based on love if it is to last until the end.

Leeray broke the silence and said, "James's girl is beautiful too. This model must have a lot of experience, I'm sure."

"Hahaha... Bro Lee is very sure. But yes, it's already beautiful, smarter, of course, guys are already lining up to shoot, just choose," commented Michael in response to his brother's words.

"James, even though he's only been dating once, right? I can't imagine what kind of sweet feelings he is," said Leeray, still looking at the photo of the couple smiling with flowers on his cellphone.

"Leave it alone, Bro, James has grown up. If you don't have any dating experience at all, it's too bad," said Michael defending his brother because they are close like friends.

"This is Papi, does he know that James is dating his teacher?" Leeray asked Michael as he lit a cigarette.

Michael also smoked but with a coffee-scented vape. "I don't know if Papi knows or not. It just seems impossible that Papi doesn't know. Since James studied in Jogja, there have been bodyguards ordered by Papi who have been stalking quietly, Bro."

"How do you know Mike?! I didn't even know there was a bodyguard stalking James." Leeray said in surprise while puffing out his cigarette smoke.

"I'm like that, Bro," said Michael knowingly.

Leeray smiled crookedly in response to his brother's words. "Then how about we enjoy it? Are you supporting James or not? Honestly, if you look at James' gestures and the way he talks about his girlfriend, he's serious."

Michael toyed with the smoke of his vape while deep in thought. Silence. "I just want James to be the best. Regardless of who the girl is and her background, I think what we can do now is to support James. Then I want to get my people to investigate James's girl."

Leeray typed a WA message to James. "James how long have you known Laura?"

James, who was relaxing in his apartment, immediately replied to his eldest brother's WA message. "It's been almost two months, Bang. Prof. Laura has just started teaching on campus since my pathology lecturer was seriously ill and hospitalized in the hospital for a very long time."

"She is a new lecturer, you mean James?" Leeray replied quickly.

"Yes, Elder Lee. I met her when she first stepped on campus. So when it was raining and Laura ran quickly from the parking lot and accidentally bumped into me in the campus lobby," James said briefly about his first meeting with Laura.

Leeray laughed out loud reading James's reply. Michael was curious and shifted his seat next to his brother and joined in reading James and Leeray's WA chat history.

He laughed too. "Oh my gosh, James, do you keep asking for acquaintances and then being approached like that?" asked Leeray still curious about James's introduction to Laura.

"Yes, that's more or less, Bro. I was the one who liked her first. I think Laura is my soul mate. Because a lot of things happen by chance if you think about it. I often get unlucky for her on campus, I also don't understand why I'm definitely there to help her. That's how she is a very workaholic, she leaves early in the morning and returns at night and often forgets to eat lunch," James told his brother at length about Laura.

Leeray and Michael read James's WA messages together. They also assessed in their hearts what the relationship between James and Laura was.

Michael also said, "This kid is like a maniac, I think. Hahaha."

"Huss!" said Leeray.

"Well, yes, Bro, from morning to night stalking the lecturer," said Michael again.

"Try to imagine, Brother Lee, how can he know that Laura often forgets to eat lunch."

"Yes, he can ask 'Have you had lunch yet, Beb?' I guess, Mike," said Leeray defending his youngest brother.

"Well, my brother is still being defended by this little brother. Slave of love, that brother of yours. Hahaha," Michael said laughing at James.

"Fine. So when are you going to take Laura to Jakarta? To meet Papi and your brothers ...," asked Leeray via WA message.

James replied, "I don't know, I haven't checked the campus schedule, Bro. It's really hectic, my schedule is still in the process of writing my thesis. Then Laura also wants to go to Thailand tomorrow Monday, there is an assignment program from campus, she said. I don't know how many days... hopefully It won't be too long. I can't be separated from her for long time."

Leeray and Michael suddenly burst into laughter reading the last sentence of James's WA message.

"Please, Bro, your little brother... LoL." Michael exclaimed, laughing giddily.

"I want to laugh, afraid of my sin." Leeray still couldn't reply to his youngest brother's WA message because he couldn't stop laughing with Michael.

"Yes, James, Laura went to Thailand and didn't come home. LoL." sent Leeray's message.

"Evil Brother Lee!" said James via his WA message.

"James is sulking!" Leeray and Michael exclaimed at the same time then still laughing at their brother's antics.
