"Listen Tul, never at any time, will you be a part of this family. The only successor to this family is my only grandson, Tin Methanan."

"But Grandma, I'm your grandson too. I'm the biological son of your own son. Sobs.... sobs.... sobs... sob ....."

"Stop dreaming, damn kid. It's still good that I give you a place to stay, so don't be greedy by asking for things that aren't yours. And.... don't you ever consider me as your grandmother because you're not my grandson. Now or never!!!!!"

Tul, who was only 10 years old, had to face the resentment from his own grandmother since he could remember. Grandma who did not accept his existence, because his mother was not the woman his Grandmother had chosen for her son. His father was too weak to be able to oppose his grandmother's wish, and was to forced to divorce and expel Tu;'s mother from the Methanan family house. His father was then forced to marry the woman of his mother's choice, a beautiful woman from a respectable family. Shortly after, his younger brother, Tin Methanan, was born.

His father was often too busy with his business, often working abroad. His stepmother is also rarely at home because she was busy with her own business and social life. His grandmother is still actively managing the company. The best time for Tul is when his grandmother hasn't come home from work, because when she gets home from work, Tul's hell will start. Tul was beaten countless times and locked in a humid room at the end of the corridor only because of a small mistake. In fact, sometimes, his grandmother still punished him even though he did nothing wrong. The reason for this was just because, "I'm sick of seeing your face." Not a day has passed without those words from his grandmother's mouth haunting him.

Tul is tired of crying because he had been crying for years but his tears could never knock on his grandmother's heart. He didn't become close with his stepmother, so it's impossible to complain to her. His father? Every time he complained, he only said the word 'sorry' while hugging him, without ever doing or opposing the treatment of his mother to the poor boy, his biological son.

When his stepmother became pregnant a few years ago, Tul developed hatred for the baby in her womb. He vowed to repay all his hurt to the creature in his stepmother's womb. He fostered hatred for more than 9 months. Increasingly, his hatred deepened because his grandmother never forgot to remind him of his position in the house. Add to this hatred was the presence of her soon to be born proud grandson.

Then came the day, the day that the family of Methanan's had been waiting for. The day of the birth of the heir to the throne of the Methanan's family. For the sake of maintaining a good name, his grandmother was forced to invite Tul to gather at the Hospital ahead of the birth of his step brother. Lots of reporters gathered to cover the birth of the crown prince. And that increasingly made his hatred stronger.

Tul and everyone was waiting in front of the operating room. After a while, a nurse came out and congratulated his father and grandmother on the birth of a handsome & healthy son. Everyone's breathes left freely and smiled happily, including his father. His father briefly glanced at Tul, as if apologizing for the happiness that surrounded their family at that time. But Tul doesn't care anymore about his father's apology.

LITTLE TUL P.O.V

The doctor hasn't allowed anyone to see the baby. We can only see it from outside the nursery. Everyone immediately headed there, to see the figure of a baby that became the pride of the Methanan's family even before his birth.

Father took me to the nursery to see my step brother. I tried to hold back the oppressive emotions and hatred.

"Tul, that is your brother. He is very handsome, just like you. Take care of him, Tul," Dad said when we got behind the baby room glass.

A baby is lying right behind the glass to make it easier for anyone to see. A white, petite and plump baby. The baby who was crying suddenly fell silent when his eyes met mine. His small lips that had been incessantly giving out a cry, now laughing. His little hand reached for the window that separated us. His clear and bright eyes glared at me, as if pleased by my presence.

Instantly I was bewitched. When I put my hand on the glass, he kept trying to reach my hand. His laugh made his face which is without sin look like an angel. Very handsome and so holy. I unconsciously cry. Initially only a small sob but, over time my cry broke. I can no longer hold my tears. The little baby is no longer laughing when he saw me crying, as if asking why I was crying? That look actually made my tears worse. I fell in love at first sight with that little one. I wept over my crimes that had hated him since he was in his mother's womb. I wept over me who became a monster like my grandmother. I hate myself, the same as my hatred for Grandma.

"Looks like your brother really likes you, son. Like there is an inner bond between you two. He looks happy when he sees you. You will be a good big brother for him right, son ?," my father asked.

I can only nod repeatedly in response. I promise in my heart that I will keep it with all my might. I will be the person who loves him the most in the world.

Tul and Tin relations were inseparable. Where there is Tul, there must be Tin. At such a small age, Tul already knew how evil the world around him was. There is no sincere friend with the Methanan's family. All must have a purpose. Including his extended family, they are all the same.

Tul doesn't want Tin to be a victim of those people. He wants Tin to only meet people who accept him as Tin, not as Methanan. He wants Tin to find a sincere love, not love with a greed behind it. Even Tin's biological mother loves her collection of bags and luxury shoes more than her own son. Tin once accidentally stepped on one of his mother's luxury shoes and it made her furious. She almost hit Tin who was already scared. Tul volunteered in exchange for being hit and without thinking, his stepmother took off her expensive belt to whip Tul. The young Tin cried out loudly, trying to be Tul's shield, but Tul held him tight and made sure the belt did not touch even a hair on Tin's body.

"Damn kid !!!! Don't even try telling your grandmother and father about today's incident. I will make sure to punish you worser than this. Understand??!!!," she threatened.

We could only nod, unable to say anything. I don't feel much pain in my body because my grandmother often tortures me more cruelly than this but, seeing my brother crying, my heart ached and was happy. At least, I managed to look after him and was happy because there is at least 1 person who really cares about me.

"Phi ... sobs ... sobs .... Phi .... sobs ... forgive .... Tin .... sobs .... sobs ....." he said between his sobs.

"Phi is okay, Tin. Tin isn't hurt right??," I asked.

"No ... sobs ... sobs.... Phi ..... Where does it hurt, Phi? Let Tin treat ... sobs .... sobs ....."

"Phi is okay, Tin. Soon it will heal too. Phi is strong hehehehe ..."

"Tin doesn't care, anyway Tin has to treat Phi!!!"

"You stubborn child. Well, you can treat Phi in the room, okay??" I said as I ruffled his thick hair.

Tin immediately smiled. A smile that can always ease all my anger. A smile that has always been my strength. A smile that I will always keep forever.

Our room were separate. Tin Room is right next to my room and the size of his room is much bigger than my room but, Tin almost never sleeps in his room. Because our grandmother and his mother forbade me to sleep in Tin's room, Tin always came and slept in my room. Every night, he would move into my room and every morning, Aunt Nam always carried Tin back to his room before our grandmother and his mother woke up. Grandmother and his mother rarely went to Tin's room, so we rejected Aunt Nam's idea. We don't want to add to Aunt Nam's work. But Aunt Nam persuaded us by saying, "Don't take risks, young masters. We never know when Madame (Grandma) and Young Madame (Mrs. Tin) will come here, so it's best to do it like this. Aunt doesn't mind. If they're find out, surely Mr. Tul will be tortured again. Auntie is not able to see it. Mr. Tin also certainly does not want to see Mr. Tul tortured again, right? So, allow Auntie to do it. At least, this is the only thing I can do for you."

Every night, Tin will always sleep in my arms. Before going to sleep, he always said "Phi Tul is the only person I love the most in this world," then kissed my cheek and hugged me. I always reply to his words with "Tin is also is the only person Phi love in this world," then hugged him tightly. Strangely, the nightmare that used to be present in my sleep never came again. My sleep used to be restless and full of nightmares, but now it is calm and sleepless. I realized, it was all because of Tin, my beloved brother.

Until that incident happened. Since then, our relationship has been destroyed. I was too shocked when I discovered his presence that time and I could not say anything to defend myself, because I realized, whatever the reason, I shouldn't say words like that about him, moreover its behind his back. When I had the courage to apologize, it was already too late. His eyes are no longer the same. His smile and his warmth were gone, without a trace.

And now, here I am, Tul Methanan who has become a successful man in business. Having a beautiful wife and a handsome boy. But at the same time being the most lonely man, who lives in guilt. I, who wanted to be a guardian angel for my only brother, instead became the only monster that killed him from the inside and made him a lonely monster for years.

But fortunately there is Can now. A brave and carefree boy, who was the reason for Tin's smile nowadays. That beautiful and warm smile of his, returned to his handsome face. At least, now Tin can feel the happiness and love that I snatched. And I promise to keep his smile and his happiness that belongs to Tin, whatever the risk.

Although this is not about the main casts, but this is the hardest chapter I wrote in this book. I cried a few times because I imagined little Tul's feelings.

There are several messages that I want to convey in this chapter, but I don't know if you can find it. So, do you get the messages??
