January sat stiffly between the two Harrison brothers. In front of him was Adam who was staring straight at him. Until now, January still does not understand why he should be here. At that time he had no connection with the matchmaking of his best friend. Then why is he being dragged here now?
Another case with confused January, Estelle looks quite calm with a dessert that is still eaten today.
“So how? Cave there is exercise this afternoon,” said Adam who looks very uncomfortable in his place.
Hearing the voice of her friend who slightly rose the octave, Axelle immediately looked at her friend's nyalang. “Cua also exercises. We are one team if you forget,” reply is not less nyolot.
January nudged Estelle's waist with his elbows slowly, awakening the friend of this unfriendly atmosphere. Estelle turned to look towards January and asked through her gaze.
January moved his eyes towards Adam and Axelle, then closed his eyes while moving his head slowly. I don't know what she meant, but Estelle immediately realized the tension she didn't notice before.
Estelle immediately stopped eating her dessert that still left a little, then cleared her throat for a while before speaking, “saf ya. So, why, Brother?” she asked Axelle because she herself did not understand why she asked him to meet here now.
“You continue to eat it. Sister waitin. That's just us chatting.” Hearing the resolute tone that was reluctant to be refuted in the words of the sister, Estelle also hurriedly finished her food.
“Gah,” said Estelle is not clear because the food in her mouth has not been swallowed perfectly.
“Stelle.” Axelle called out the name of the sister commemorating.
“Next aja, Kak,” said January representing the friend. Estelle who was beside January nodded in agreement.
Axelle exhaled a rough breath. “Judah. So how do you guys want it? Continue or lengga?” tanyanya stared at Adam and Estelle alternately.
The two people who were asked were silent and looked at each other in silence. Until finally Estelle broke their eye contact while saying, “maybe if for example brother Adam like me, I will continue. But because Brother Adam doesn't like me .. I don't want this to continue, Kak.”
Axelle's gaze glimpsed at Estelle's hand that tightly grasped January's hand. “Lo itself how, Dam?” his tan turned his attention to Adam who was currently staring straight at the sister.
Whether his sister was stupid or insensitive, Adam was obviously attracted to her. But the girl instead burned Adam's wick that length is not how much by showing his interaction and January that looks very intense.
“Lo want to talk rich so to make this matchmaking? Do you realize what you are talking about will have a bad impact on the cave? The effect is rich cave there is no effort for deket same lo, even though you yourself made ilfeel cave first.”
Axelle once again looked at Adam. “Mongan lo-”
“Son, udaahh!” estelle's whining interrupts Axelle's words that seem to be exploding because of Adam's words to her. For whatever sake he did not want to see the two men who had been very close fighting in front of his eyes directly.
Adam himself remained relaxed. Because according to him, there is nothing wrong with his words.
January's flat gaze was fixed on the Adam before him. Although his brain thought it was not his realm or the time for him to interfere, but his heart felt he could not stand watching his best friend being insulted in front of his eyes like this.
“Kak, sorry if the cave effect interfered. But can not .. lo it's more gentle with Estelle? She's a girl ... Brother Adam has a mother ‘kan at home? If for example my sister Adam was treated like that same-”
“Lo don't take the same grotto as him. Their classes are different.”
Estelle directly lowered her head deeply. For whatever sake Adam's statement just now really hurt him a lot. He really couldn't help it anymore, Adam's gaze that looked so disgusted at him really made his chest tight matchless.
“So, you can meet here just for gini doang? Now the cave can already go, ‘kan?” adam asked Axelle but his eyes were fixed on Estelle who was still looking down deeply while tightly holding her January hand beside him.
“Free. Cave does not deny,” reply Axelle without looking at Adam. He was trying not to beat Adam for his outrageous statement. He did not want to upset Estelle for denying her to his sister for the second time.
January did not take his eyes off Adam's broad back, which slowly left them. His attention was only returned to Estelle again as the girl's handrails loosened. “Why, Stelle?” tanyanya who only got a soft head from the friend.
“Sini. Don't think too much of Adam's talk. He does not have a brain so if you like it at will.” Axelle pulls Estelle's body in her warm embrace. Sometimes he gently rubbed the narrow back of the sister to calm the girl's feelings.
“Kak, frequent sagging brother Adam dong. Don't be so rude to Estelle. If not because he temen lo, the cave has not joked him earlier.”
With a flat gaze Axelle replied to the words January, “lain times you tonjok aja.”

The next day, after school ....
Estelle squinted her fingers nervously. In front of him was his mother Adam. After returning home from school, a man approached her and said that someone wanted to meet her at a cafe not far from her school.
After getting permission from Axelle by phone, he came here escorted by the man earlier. In his heart he cursed himself who did not ask at all before agreeing to come here.
“Tan-”
“Mother, Dear. Call Mommy,” the woman's orders are reluctant to be denied. Estelle also inevitably had to nod obediently.
“Mother ... Estelle why were you sent here? Estelle nothing wrong, ‘kan?” estelle asked really worriedly.
Elena smiled warmly and advanced her body to reach Estelle's hand. Gently grasped the hand of the girl who would become his candidate. “You are calm, my dear. Mother just wants to talk to you. No problem ‘kan if you have to spend your time to chat with Mommy here?”
Estelle shook her head in panic. “Cock not. Estelle was just shocked. Estelle thought, Estelle had confessed the mistake until Tan-Mommy bothered to find Estelle like this.”
“No hassle. Precisely Mommy is grateful because you want to talk to Mommy,”, said Elena while smiling sincerely.
Estelle smiled. Her heart warmed up being treated this softly by Elena. It felt like he had not felt this way from his parents. This involuntarily made Estelle look at Elena's face with a full blown longing look.
“Why, Dear?” elena asked understandingly.
“I'm just amazed by Mother. Mother is beautiful and very good like an angel.” After saying that, Estelle smiled warmly until both her eyes narrowed. This made Elena chuckle happily. The middle-aged woman who still looked so beautiful was completely unable to hide her delight in Estelle.
“You can aja.”
“Cockwise, Bun.”
Elena smiled as she stared at Estelle for quite a while. “Why, Bun?” estelle asked nervously as she was stared at continuously like that.
“You want ‘kan ya betrothed same Adam ... child mother?”
Estelle was speechless, the smile on her face faded away instantly. The expression on the girl's face turned tense after getting Elena's sudden question. “Munda ..”
“Hm?” elena was still waiting for an answer from her future daughter-in-law.
“A-I can't continue this matchmaking, sorry ...,” witty Estelle while bowing her head deeply, not daring to look Elena in the eye.
The gentle pat on the back of her hand made Estelle again raise her head to look at Elena. “Hey, why apologize? Mother just wanted to ask. So, really what Adam said, if you don't want to continue because you guys don't feel suitable?” Estelle nodded slowly.
“Sister Adam doesn't like me, Bun. I don't want Adam's own brother not to like me.”
Elena frowned hearing Estelle's words. “Adam never said he didn't like you. Even every day if Mommy asks about her daily life, she must always call your name.”
Estelle's heart raced quickly after hearing that. His hand even to the point of reflex touching his left chest.
“Why, Dear?” asked Elena who immediately got up from her seat and moved to Estelle's side.
“Mother, my heart is dugun-dugun.”
