Slowly, even his rock-hard heart would melt.

Joyceline stared intently at Estelle who was sitting opposite him while smiling happily. “Do not be cute, why midday to the cave house? If you go out, the cave ogah. Hot!”
Estelle pouted hearing Joyceline's words. Though he had not spoken anything, but his friend shot him directly on target. “I blom said nothing in fact,” his great-grandson with a made-up face.
Joyceline shook his head in surprise to see him, he exhaled a long breath before speaking again, “ya mo already what?”
Estelle's eyes sparkled like a puppy when she heard Joyceline. Joyceline who was stared at like that went straight into his room to change clothes.
Estelle picks up Joyceline's phone lying on the table and puts it in a black plastic bag along with her phone. After that he went to the kitchen and put it in the top drawer of Joyceline's snack storage.
“Estelle, so no?!” joyceline shouted from the living room. Estelle ran over to Joyceline.
“Ngapain? Which cave phone?” Estelle did not answer and smiled as she patted her sling bag. Joyceline who had reached out her hand also looked at Estelle in doubt, feeling that something was strange with her friend.
“Ya let's go now. But before eating malem we have come home. Cave wants to continue hibernation again.” Estelle just nodded her head in agreement with Joyceline.
The place they went to was the mall. Joyceline frowned in confusion as Estelle pulled her into one of the famous beauty spa spots quite expensive. She grows suspicious when Estelle asks for the best service for them.
“Tumbens. Usually never want,” said Joyceline.
Estelle showed me the black card in her wallet. “At that time I did not bring this card, if the previous limit was limited it was so afraid of the same sound brother if I truant. If today is free,” explained Estelle who immediately smiled happily afterwards.
Joyceline simply nodded in agreement with the words of his friend. He didn't want to think too much today.
After leaving the beauty spa, Estelle returned to herd Joyceline to one of her subscription restaurants. “What time is it now?” joyceline asked Estelle to stutter.
“Jam 4, maybe?” the answer is not sure.
Joyceline raised next to her brows as she realized Estelle's doubts. “Try dong mobile cave here!”
Estelle bit her lower lip and pretended to check her bag. “Yeah, don't laugh!” he pretended to panic.
“From yesterday you were suspicious,” said Joyceline who was increasingly convinced by her instinct that Estelle was planning something behind her.

Estelle looked at Joyceline with a hearty look, she was completely unable to do so. They were already in front of the Harrison family's residence. After Joyceline interrogates Estelle, it is revealed that the girl deliberately dragged her away from a dinner that will be held at the girl's residence.
Unfortunately Joyceline could not glean any more information on the reason why his friend was reluctant to have dinner together at his own residence.
Estelle was silent, still reluctant to go inside. You can guess that there was already Adam and his family, as evidenced by some luxury cars that he did not know were scattered beautifully in the courtyard of his home.
“Lo is not a boy who runs away from problems.” Hearing that somehow Estelle felt compelled to prove herself. Estelle took a deep breath and steadily took steps to enter, she
“Thank you,” the girl told Joyceline.
Joyceline only smiled faintly, he went straight from there with the car loaned by Estelle.
Estelle took a deep breath before heading towards the dining room, she slapped both of her cheeks slowly and assured herself that everything would be fine. Estelle raised both corners of her lips as high as possible. “Sorry Estelle is late.”
The first person he saw was Axelle, very clearly seeing how worried and angry the man was from his expression now. Estelle breathed a long sigh at the thought after this she still had to prepare to face Axelle's anger later on.
“Where are you from anyway? You already know if Adam wants to come here tonight,” the mommy's nag. Estelle could only duck deeply when she heard it.
“However, you are the same sensi boy. The important thing is that his Estelle is here. Yes ‘kan, Darling?” Estelle could only faintly smile at her mother Adam's defense of her.
During dinner Estelle just smiled and agreed with the words of her mother Adam, her mind was completely broken because Adam just kept staring at Estelle sharply. The man's gaze made him feel surrounded by thousands of swords ready to stab at any moment if he misbehaved.
Somehow the story goes, at this time they; estelle and Adam were left alone in the pool gazebo. Estelle continued to look down because she did not dare to look directly at Adam who was currently still looking at her sharply. “Sister Adam did not refuse this matchmaking?” estelle asked breaking the silence between them after quite a long silence.
“Mana can.” Hearing Adam's short answer, Estelle smiled wryly.
“Iya yes. Anyhow want brother Adam same rich girl me,” murmured very slowly but still heard clearly in Adam's ear. It seemed, the words he had once uttered to Estelle were so imprinted in the heart of the girl. And Adam was overwhelmed with guilt over it.
“Sorry.”
Estelle immediately raised her head then looked at Adam with both eyes that were fleshed out in surprise. “No mistake, why apologize to Estelle. Estelle who should apologize for making Kak Sersel, Estelle knows kok .. surely Brother Adam is very uncomfortable ‘kan the same behavior I. Estelle's sorry, sister?”
Adam fell silent, his body frozen as Estelle suddenly extended her hand to touch her injured face from Axelle's punch earlier this afternoon. “This must also be because of me, ‘kan? Brother Axelle must be mukulin brother again, yes?” Adam just cleared his throat slowly to answer Estelle.
Estelle lowered her head deeply, Adam could hear a slow sobbing from the girl in front of him. “Sorry hiks must be sick hiks,” isak Estelle makes Adam confused what to do. He awkwardly patted Estelle's shoulder slowly, hoping that it would help calm the girl's cries.
In his heart he was confused why this girl even cried, he should be the one who cried because he was beaten, ‘kan?
“Lo what else is Estelle? Not kapok what cave hitin?” Both looking. Axelle quickly approached Estelle and checked on her condition. Adam clucked in annoyance at Axelle's accusations against him.
Estelle herself immediately positioned herself between the two, preventing Axelle from beating Adam. They had enough to fight for it. He no longer wants anyone to get hurt.
Adam himself was astonished by Estelle. The girl was trying to protect him? With tears like that? Does that make any sense?
Axelle looked at the sister not accepting. “Yak! You stole him?! He hurt you, Estelle! Time and time again! And you still choose to defend him rather than your own brother? Does that make sense?!” his yell.
Estelle's lips were already pursed on hearing Axelle's nagging. Her tears grew louder because of it, but the girl remained reluctant to move from her place. “Awas not?!” axelle's getting upset.
Estelle immediately confronted Axelle with both hands stretched because she saw the spirit of her brother like he was about to hit someone. “Can't fight in front of me!” Adam smiled slanted, he immediately hugged
Estelle from behind. It wasn't enough that she peeked at Estelle's cheek and bit her slowly.
Estelle who was treated like that could only freeze, her cries instantly stopped. His cheeks were hot and red. Axelle who saw his sister treated like that was ready to clench his hands emotions especially when he saw Adam's expression that was like mocking him, it felt like he wanted to punch back Adam's face at this time. If Adam had not been holding Estelle, he would have kicked her and drowned her in the pool.
“Adam your parents want to go home!” call Agatha who has prevented the second war.
Estelle breathed a sigh of relief as Adam let go and Axelle went after the mother. “Tadi what?” he murmured when Adam had also left him alone. His feet immediately decayed to the floor and his hands moved towards his chest that was pounding quite hard.
