Ramon reached the house and he could see that his brother was looking at him as if he suspected something was wrong. He tried to put up a smile but he knew that he was not going to fool his brother. This was not the time he usually came back from work. It was only past 3 pm and anyone would ask him why he was back so early in his uniform and looking so devastated.
"Hey!" Eduardo said to him. "What's up with you?"
"What do you mean?" He said with fear taking the best of him.
"Why are you back so early and in your uniform?" Eduardo asked as he got up. "And why do your eyes look as if you have been crying?"
Should he tell him or just cook up a lie? Eduardo was the kind of person who was hard to fool. Ramon knew that he would see right through him. But Eduardo was an over protective brother who would do anything for him and if he knew that Mr. Martinez attempted to rape Ramon he would definitely do something. The bastard deserved that but if Eduardo caused any problem he would be thrown behind bars and Ramon wanted to protect him.
"Hey!" Eduardo yelled. "Why are you quiet? Did something happen at the hotel?"
"N-no, nothing happened." He stammered.
"Then why are your eyes red?" Eduardo asked as he came closer.
"You know you can tell us anything, son." He heard his father who was quiet speak for the first time since he came home.
"It's nothing." He said as he tried to put up a smile.
"If he doesn't want to tell us father then I will go there and find out what really happened." Eduardo said as he began going away.
"Trust me brother it's nothing." Ramon begged him but he was still going.
"Please father, stop him." Ramon begged his father who was looking at him without saying anything.
"Your brother is just worried about you and if nothing really happened then you don't have to worry about anything."
"What if he causes some sort of trouble there?" He asked his father.
"If nothing happened then there will be no kind of trouble." His father answered.
Ramon ran to his brother who was busy going. It was either he told the truth or he causes trouble. If he went to the hotel he would find out that Ramon had quit and that would raise questions.
"Please, stop." Ramon begged as his brother stopped and looked at him.
"What are you trying to hide?" Eduardo shouted at him. "I am your brother and it is my duty to look out for your welfare. If there is really nothing wrong then there is no harm in asking right?"
Eduardo was really hard to convince and Ramon had no choice but to tell him the entire truth of what had happened.
"Please don't go," He answered quietly. "I will tell you what happened."
Saying that brought fear to him. He knew that the worst was not over as he still had to bring Eduardo to order after he tells him that Mr. Martinez attempted to rape him. Ramon took his brother inside the house and they both sat on the couch while he gathered the strength to tell his brother and father what really happened.
"We are listening." His brother said to him.
Ramon could feel tears building up in his eyes and he knew that everyone saw it.
"I have quit my job and that is why I am home." He mumbled.
"Quit!" His father asked. "Why did you quit and is that why your eyes are red?"
"No!" He sighed. "My boss tried to.............. Rape me."
As he said that he could feel adrenaline rushing through his whole body and he was suddenly feeling hot.
"What!" His father shouted as he got up. "He tried to rape you?"
Ramon nodded as he couldn't bring himself to say any word.
"How did that even happen?" His brother yelled as he got up from the chair. "Isn't your boss that rich guy, Martinez or something?"
Ramon nodded and he began narrating the story of how it all started from the first day Mr. Martinez had come to the hotel. He narrated the entire story to them and his face was now wet with tears.
"And today he had almost succeeded in raping in me." He concluded.
"The nerve of that guy," Eduardo bellowed as he suddenly rose from the chair. "I am going to teach him a lesson which he will never forget in his life."
Eduardo was about to storm out of the house when Ramon had his arms wrapped around him.
"Please, don't do anything." He begged.
"And why should I sit and do nothing?" Eduardo shouted. "That man needs someone to show him that just because he's rich doesn't mean that he can just do anything he wants. He has to learn not to mess with you. He needs to know that you have me to protect you."
"But you might get into trouble." He begged. "Just let it go and he didn't succeed so let's just live peaceful lives."
"I don't care if I get into trouble but I must do this." Eduardo yelled.
This was what Ramon had feared and if he didn't stop his brother then there was bound to be trouble. He couldn't fight someone as powerful and rich as Mr. Martinez.
