and finally get lost.
If this is the case, Noel can only sit down. Tak

It's all too late. He's not going back to Charlotte's. Or
even worse than that. He won't be able to go home and meet three
person ‘his family’.
His stomach that was starting to hurt added to the chaos within
himself. The boy had not touched the spoon and fork to cut his food
since the afternoon.
Noel buried his face in both of his hands
folded.
A pair of bright brown lenses shed tears. It
no longer know what to do. The freshness within Noel seemed to collapse. Minds
in his brain was only filled with regret and little hope of going home.
“Dek?” a soft voice sounded to him.
Noel looked. A woman with long black
with a slender body standing right in front of him.
“Kok alone? Where are your parents?” askanya

The boy quickly wiped away the trace of his tears.

pay attention to the row of numbers listed in the telephone number column.

“This is with Linda. Gini, Sir... I met my father..”

Sylvia's gaze was fixed on
the woman who was talking to Edwin. The woman still looks beautiful despite a slight wrinkle
looks adorn his face that is memorable shade. Long enough his eyes were looking

a long, dense black unraveled, a pair of round, light brown sliced neutrals,
mature sapodilla skin, as well as a mole over the right eyebrow. Sylvia was sure.
He's seen this guy before. But... Wh who? When's? Whereabouts?
Realizing that someone is occupying
the seat next to the driver's position of the car, Noel tilted his head slightly.
“Sylvia?” the boy looked up

Edwin was silent for a moment.

Sylvia was flabbergasted to hear
the words that had just crossed his ears. A pair of dark brown eyes
start glazing. He quickly opened the door and ran outside
approaching the thick black woman who was none other than the mother of Noel and
himself.
“Mother...” says Sylvia Lirih
with crackling sounds. The girl points to herself, “.ini Sylvia...

“Sylvia..”.
Sylvia curled a thin smile
on lips.
The woman was crying

separated from him and now in front of him.
