Falling in Love With My Brother

True friend

While El was asleep the entire trip, he only woke up when the attendant checked his ticket.

Warm sun pierced through the glass of the carriage, waking El from his sleep, El blinked his eyes, then saw running text on the front carriage. Two more stations arrived at the destination.

"Have you read my letter? Is mom sad? Did you think of me?" el's tears welled up in his eyes, and then in his pocket with his right hand. He was immersed in his daydream until it sounded from the loudspeaker if soon it would arrive at El's destination.

Then ordering an ojek online, outside the station area, he typed in Della's address. Not long ojek order came and take him to the address to the destination.

"Thank you" El said after handing over the money and helmet to the driver.

"Same brother, don't forget the five stars brother" said the mas with a smile and nodded to El. El nodded then entered knocking on the fence, seeing the security guard post there was a person.

"Here sits El" Della guides El towards her bed, then she herself pulls up her study chair sitting in front of El.

"The same story I'm El, what happened" Della clasped El's hand tightly, as if transferring strength to El.

"Del, last night, I was horrified the same mother talking, I'm not the mother's biological child" El's shoulders were shaken, her tears were flowing.
