The crying and laughter always go hand in hand and are never separated.

Estelle's eyes continue to follow the movements of Axelle who is preparing to go hanging out with her friends. “Sister Axelle is coming,” pinta Estelle for the second time. Axelle glanced at her sister through the mirror reflection and again shook her head firmly in response.
“Promise is not troublesome,” persuade Estelle again with a clear face.
Again, Axelle shakes firmly again. “You're at home. Ud malem later you catch wind.”
Estelle scowled in annoyance. “Pelit!” The girl got out of there. Axelle just shrugged both of her shoulders no matter what. No matter what happens, he won't take Estelle away with him tonight.
Because today he will not only meet Adam, Wildan, and Suho. But also his other basketball team mates. The point is he will not let them until he takes the opportunity to approach his beloved sister.
Estelle herself was complaining to Jacob over the phone while crying a mouthful. “Stelle wants to be left alone!! That stingy guy doesn't want to take Stelle!” adunya.
“Honey, dear brother. Later your swollen eyes continue to hurt. Gapapa yes, Estelle does not need to come, mending themin Brother work while videocall gini aja. Big brother with Estelle.”
Estelle pulled her snot and wiped away the tears that were on both her cheeks. “If kangen comes home dong should be! Brother is the same, nyebelin! Estelle hates Brother!” After saying that, Estelle went straight
disconnecting video calls.
Jacob exhaled tiredly looking at his tabbed menu screen.
He quickly typed in a message to improve the mood of his beloved sister.
To, My Lovely: You're going to hate you even though you come home tomorrow?
And not long after Jacob sent the text, Estelle called him back in a voice call.
“Truly tomorrow home?” From his voice, Jacob knew that his sister was crying again. He took a deep breath before answering Estelle's question. Afterwards, Estelle and Jacob made a video call until midnight.
Even until Axelle returned home, the two never ended the video call. It was only when Estelle fell asleep that Jacob decided on her call.

“Imagine your face, say hello to me~”
“Na na na na na, na na na na na na .. tut sort, trulululululut~”
Joyceline's face turned sour after hearing it all day. It might feel better if Estelle sings it properly but the girl just repeats the part and then smiles at herself like an insane person.
Even in class, Estelle was like that. The girl got reprimanded several times from the teacher even threats were issued from the class because it was enough to interfere with the concentration of the others.
“Imagine your face, say hello to me~”
“Na na na na na, na na na na na na .. tut sort, trulululululut~”
Estelle laughed. “OK okay I'll stop. I'm sorry, I'm so happy today.”
“You won the lottery?” ask January with raised eyebrows next door. He knows his best friend is a bit, but usually not this bad.
Estelle brought herself closer to January and stood on her tiptoes to whisper in the man's ear. “So gini ..”
“Gak so deh,” continued Estelle playfully.
The face of January was very sour, but did not protest or complain about the behavior of his strange friend. He can only stroke her chest, trying to stay sober and maintain his sanity as long as he is beside Estelle.
Joyceline immediately beat Estelle with a notebook on her lap to represent January. “Basic!” He knew that he wouldn't do it, so let him do it. Thought that sharp-mouthed girl.
“Hahahaha, sorry sorry. Bang Jacob returned this mall after how many days he was out of town. So, yes I'm excited!” estelle was so excited.
That's what happened during the day and now Estelle regrets feeling too happy to welcome Jacob's return that didn't really happen tonight. The girl did not stop crying half an hour ago because the man had not yet arrived, but the man promised to be home about half an hour ago.
“New return flight tomorrow. We enter the bedroom yuk sleeping in the dalem,” persuade Axelle for the second time. But unfortunately always rejected by the girl raw.
The mommy came out of the room because she heard the sound of her daughter's cries that were heard all over the house. “Estelle what time is it?” The two brothers looked at each other simultaneously.
Estelle immediately held back her cries while bowing her head deeply when she found the face of the mother who looked angry and also tired. He felt sorry for the noisy nights. Axelle looked at Agatha sharply, Agatha who was stared at like that was also ignited emotions.
“What? Mom's right, ‘kan? What time is it, you realize? Don't overindulge your sister, Axelle.”
Only Axelle will reply to the words of the mommy, Estelle immediately held Axelle by draping her hands on Axelle's neck and drowning her face in the male's neck dilation. Of course Axelle immediately reflexes rubbing Estelle's back gently instead of arguing the mommy.
“Sorry, Mom. Estelle promises will not be noisy anymore,” said Estelle full of regrets. Agatha immediately returned to her room without saying anything more.
Now Axelle's attention is all back to the sister. “We're in, yuk. Wait for her brother in the room aja ..” persuade Axelle again who still gets rejection from Estelle as it has been.
“Come dong, Stelle. Later you can get sick if you wait for brother Semaleman here. Yuk in.” Again and again the head bobble that Axelle got from Estelle.
Giving up, Axelle chose to take a blanket and pillow from her room to sleep them on the living room sofa. At first Axelle felt no problem accompanying her sister in the living room. But for a long time he felt
sore because his legs had to dangle while sleeping on the sofa. Very different from Estelle who has a small body and very fit while sleeping on the sofa.
Axelle exhaled a rough breath. He decided to move into the room later after Estelle fell asleep.
The clock was going very slowly, that was what Axelle had in mind. Until two o'clock in the morning, Jacob never came. Estelle had fallen asleep on the couch. After confirming that Estelle had fallen asleep, Axelle very carefully lifted the body of her sister, planning to move Estelle silently.
But unfortunately for thousands of dear, Estelle's eyes immediately opened wide when Axelle managed to lift her body from the sofa. The girl thrashed and insisted to keep waiting for Jacob in the living room.
“Do not want! If Ka Axelle wants to enter the room, go in alone! Estelle wants to stay here!” With a whispering voice, Estelle insistently did not want to be moved into the room.
Because she was too tired and Axelle was very upset because the sister was so stubborn, Axelle also left Estelle alone in the living room. “Whatever you want, tired of the cave!” axelle said before actually returning to her own room.
Even so, Axelle deliberately did not close the door of her room so that if at any time Estelle changed her mind, the girl could easily enter the room.
