THE BROWN EYES (ONE)

The frenetic sound of stomping music accompanied the steps of a beautiful brown-haired woman who was busy writhing her body, teasing every man she met along the way to the dance floor. With her thigh-high black clothes, and a pretty face that is so alluring, she is able to attract any man she likes. Whistles, chirps, and invitations to dance flocked to her every step, but not many of them could really conquer the proud queen's heart, because she didn't really like what she was doing right now.

"Hi sweetie, have a night with me? Spending such a long night in my bed, hmm?”

“Hi handsome, nice to meet you tonight. But ... I can't do it with you."

The woman replied arrogantly in her spoiled accent. The man in the black jacket looked disappointed, but he didn't just give up. He will still seduce her so that he will warm the bed tonight.

"Come on, just one night. I will not tie you up or force you to be my lover. Just being my woman tonight, what do you think?"

"Sorry, but I can't. I... don't like your brown eyes."

"What? I don’t understand?" asked the man half screaming. The sound of the music that was getting louder and more stomping made the voice of them both be swallowed up by the noise around them.

            “I don't like brown eyed men. Do you hear me?" The woman said half screaming too.

The look on her face, which at first looked fine, gradually began to get angry because of the coercive nagging man in front of her. She really doesn't like this kind of guy who asks too many questions. She prefers a cold, quiet man who is mysterious, and exudes a strong intimidating aura, like a man currently staring at her from the second floor of this building.

"What's with the brown eyed man? Would you accept my invitation to go on a date if I used another colored eye lens? I really want to ask you on a date."

Edna yanked the man's hand away from her face and looked into the man's eyes sharply with her fake smile face.

“Sure you can ask me out, but I don't like anything fake. I prefer something... hmm... original. So you can pry out your brown eyes first and change them to another color before you ask me out on a date. See you handsome."

The man gaped in disbelief at what the woman had just said. Just because his eyes are brown, he failed to make a date with that sexy woman. Huh, forever he obviously couldn't get to her because he couldn't really gouge out her brown eyes like what a hot, charming woman was asking for.

"You failed man."

The man just gave a huff, then walked away from the dance floor in search of other prey.

Meanwhile, Edna has been in the middle of the dance floor to start moving her hips here and there, according to the stomping rhythm being played by the DJ. One by one, her friends began to come in droves while embracing Edna, who was busy with her erotic dancing.

"You look so excited babe, something happened to you today?" Theresa asked, hugging Edna's shoulder. The beautiful woman stopped her dance movement at once, and immediately hugged her two friends excitedly without paying attention to the people who were still looking at her lustfully.

“Guess what I got today, a new contract for a photo shoot belonging to the Gucci and Jestina brands. Oh My Gosh, these two make me feel like fucking crazy! You know right, I've always wanted to be a model for their brand, sadly that bitch Rossie always managed to get it because she used a very disgusting cunning method."

"Teasing every men and drag them to her bed?" asked Summer to make sure.

“Yeah, something like that. Tonight we should celebrate my success by drinking all you can, I'll buy you a drink. "

"Are you sure Edna? Your curfew looks like it's about to run out."

Theresa glanced at her watch and immediately directed her eyes to a man who was still busy stalking the queen of dance tonight, Edna Morel. That man with his sharp eyes kept watching Edna's movements on the dance floor while sipping his martini with his aristocratic style that was so alluring. On his left and right, sat two sexy women who had been stroking his chest to provoke. However, the two sharp eyes of the man were only focused on Edna alone.

"To hell with curfew. Tonight I just want to celebrate my success as a model for the brand I want the most."

Edna then pulled her two friends to dance together on the dance floor while teasing the handsome men who had been staring at them with hunger gaze, especially at her because she was the most wanted woman to be their date, but none of them had ever been got it.

That woman, she's mysterious. She is often seen in the club with her two friends, Theresa and Summer, but that woman is very difficult to beat. Various men from low to high strata are always competing to conquer Edna, even by dirty means, but Edna is still inaccessible. The woman was always protected by the black shadow of the ruler of the night world, Acelon Grishold.

There has never been a single man who can really ask Edna on a date. Apart from the fact that Edna has very high qualifications, men who dare to approach Edna will get a terrible threat from Acelon.

Even so, Edna still likes to tease those hungry men with their sexy bodies. She pretends like a bitch who needs a date at the club, but in the end she will just sadistically dump them, especially the men with brown eyes.

"Time to go home, drag her right now." Acelon whispered firmly to two of his men and immediately got up from his chair.

With firm steps, he walked out of the nightclub with the two sexy women who had been clinging to his strong arms indulgently. He then waited in his limousine, sipping a cigar whose smoke had soared in the car. Tonight he was annoyed with this woman. She just wanted to show off her beautiful body to everyone and tease them with her naughty style. Edna is indeed the most beautiful woman he has ever known, and it is fortunate that he has her all to himself.

Unfortunately, he prefers his old Edna. His innocent Edna and full of tenderness, who always looks at him with her beautiful round eyes. Treasure and associations have turned Edna into a woman who is out of control. He don't know what he has been missing all this time, Edna suddenly has become a different woman. Precisely one and a half years ago Edna started to become a person who is very opposite to the person she used to be. Maybe this is really his fault because all this time he has always allowed Edna to act as she pleases. He never paid attention to who Edna was associating with until finally Edna ended up like a bitch who likes to flirt with men in nightclubs.

“Damn it! Why are you disturbing my pleasure Acelon!” shouted Edna loudly from the corner of the door. The woman looked annoyed and immediately gave her sharp gaze to the two women who were still loyal to be parasites on both of Acelon's arms. Edna rudely pulled them all out and immediately slammed Acelon's car door hard to channel all her anger towards the annoying man beside her.

            "Time to go home." Acelon answered dryly. He glanced at Edna and immediately asked the driver to go to his mansion.

"Why do you always tailed me? Asked me to do this and that. I want to be free, I want to have fun with Theresa and Summer. During this time I also never bothered your pleasure. You're free to go with any woman out there. You're free! But why do you always curb me, huh?"

She was annoyed by Acelon's attitude who always pulled her tugs like this. On the one hand the man was protecting her, but on the other hand the man also let her act as she pleased. Every now and then she wanted to be free, without Acelon who was always be her black shadow.

"I never taught you to be rude, call me..."

"Acelon? You didn't even adopt me to be your sister, so why would I call you Acelon? You should be my father."

Acelon tightened his jaw in annoyance and suddenly his right hand had pulled Edna's left hand so that the woman would come closer to his body. It was enough he had held his patience for her tonight. And now there will be no mercy for Edna Morel.

"You still want me to be your father after all this time, hmm?" Acelon asked emphatically.

Edna turned her face to another direction and looked lazy to look at Acelon's face. She really hated Acelon's two eyes which always gave off a brown color which she hated so much. Acelon Grishold is the man with the first brown eyes that Edna hates. Because of that man, she now hates all men with brown eyes so much!

"Look at me, I hate being ignored!"

"Why do you always treat me like this? You shouldn't have to adopt me because you were never nice to me. You bastard!" Edna shouted angrily right in front of Acelon's face.

Acelon violently released his grip on Edna's arm and let the woman move away from him. Edna has changed. In the past, maybe that woman could still be nice to him, appreciate him as someone who adopted him from the orphanage, and think of him as a good brother, even though he actually deserves more to be her father.

Flashback

            It was November when Acelon first set foot in an orphanage on the outskirts of town. The simple building with a shabby white color was seen standing firmly with the children who were running around laughing out loud. Acelon watched all of these activities for a long time until suddenly his assistant was standing beside him pointing at the little girl he had been looking for.

"That's the daughter of Brexton."

"How long has she been here?" Acelon asked dryly. He was honestly very lazy to deal with a little girl. To be more precise, a child who is moving towards the adolescent phase. Now that the child was fourteen years old, it didn't really look like a child. But still, Acelon thought of her as a child, considering his thirty years now.

"About four years. Since her father died because of the incident, she was immediately put into this orphanage by the police. The child didn’t have any family at all, so the police decided to bring her here. Sir, are you sure you will adopt that little girl?”

Acelon was silent for a moment. Thinking of answers to questions asked by his assistant. He actually doesn't like having to deal with little girl. Too much trouble and troublesome, but he had promised the little girl's father that he would take care of his daughter after he died. So whatever the reason, promises must be kept. Even though he was a jerk, he always kept his promises well.

"Let's go in."

Ignoring the questions from his assistant, Acelon immediately stepped into the building of the orphanage. The first impression that Acelon caught from the orphanage was that it was noisy, crowded, and small. The building of the orphanage was not as big as he thought. When he went inside, he could see how small the building was with dozens of poor orphaned children. He could not imagine how their life had been. It is certain that they live a very rough life there.

"Good afternoon, can we help you?"

A middle-aged woman who is the caretaker of the orphanage greeted Acelon kindly while inviting Acelon to sit on a wooden chair that looked rotten. The woman was around fifties with several white hairs that could be seen adorning her head. But the maternal aura emitted by that woman was able to reassure anyone who saw her wise smile, including Acelon.

"I want to adopt one of the children here," said Acelon coldly.

The man really hates small talk and just wants to get things over with to keep his promise to Brexton. He actually delayed this for a long time, about four years. He had delayed this for four years because of the laziness that had clung to him for a long time.

After all, he was a free man. Adopting a daughter is actually not very suitable for him. Moreover, during this time he had never felt how loving a mother was. His mother died when he was a child, and his father was a very dictatorial man when educating him, so he has now grown up to be an arrogant, hard-hearted man, just like his father. And he has lived alone for a long time. He decided to leave the main house and run his own business ten years ago. He was tired of living under one roof with his strict father. Sometimes they get into very long arguments because they both have very troublesome stubbornness.

"Is it true? I am very glad to hear it. It has been a long time since a family has come to adopt a child at this orphanage. Maybe because it is located on the edge of the city, so this orphanage is difficult to find. If you want to adopt one of the children in this orphanage, I will prepare them for a while so that it is easier for you to choose."

The woman was about to get up from her seat to call all of her children who were playing in the yard. But Acelon immediately prevented the woman from doing so while mentioning the name of the orphanage she was going to adopt today.

"No need, I want to adopt Edna Morel."

The woman furrowed her brows briefly and she sat back down on her chair, looking questioningly at Acelon.

“That girl is the daughter of my co-worker, before He died I promised to take care of her. However, due to some problems, it got a little delayed." Acelon answered with a flat face without expression.

At first glance the woman looked doubtful about Acelon's story. But in the end she chose to believe and ordered one of the children who passed by to summon Edna. The little girl had to meet her adoptive father before she was later taken away by the handsome man who looked arrogant.

            "You called me, mother?"

A young girl with long back hair suddenly appeared in the doorway while showing a confused face. At first glance, Acelon looks like he is staring at his old friend who has long been gone, but in the mini version. It seemed as if he had just seen the girl roaring in front of her father's coffin while kicking anyone who tried to drive her away from there, but now that girl has grown into a young girl who is so sweet and innocent in front of him.

"Come in Edna, there is someone who wants to adopt you."

Hearing this Edna immediately looked radiant, and she politely bowed respectfully to Acelon. For a long time, she hoped to get a new family because life in the orphanage could be said to be mediocre.

At school, she often sees her friends who live well because their parents always give them what they want. Meanwhile, she had to endure all these desires because she realized that she could not possibly get it. The orphanage where she lives has quite a number of poor children like her, so that the money owned by the orphanage must always run out for their daily living expenses. As for schools, they get relief from the local government who feels responsibility for their unfortunate fate.

"Good afternoon sir."

Edna smiled sweetly at Acelon and immediately approached the mother who had waved at her. The little girl looked so happy with the good news she had just received from the mother. Especially seeing how Acelon's appearance is very neat and shows the impression of being a rich person, making Edna even more impatient to become a family member of that man.

"This is Mr. Acelon Grishold and his assistant. Mr. Acelon today wants to adopt you."

"Is it true? Thank you sir, thank you very much for your kindness, sir."

Acelon stared flatly at the sweet smile that looked sincere. But in his heart he felt happy and at ease at the same time because of that sweet smile.

Sweet girl, I hope you will never lose that sweet smile...

Flashback end

Brakk

Acelon winced in surprise when the sound of a slamming sounded nearby and brought him back to his gloomy reality. The man glared at Edna's departure from his car while imagining how that proud woman used to be when he met her for the first time. Time has changed everything. All the innocence of that little girl has been transformed into an upper-class woman's distinctive arrogance filled with wealth. Maybe all of this is really his fault because he never paid attention to Edna all this time until in the end the innocent girl turned into an adult woman who is far from innocent.
