Edwin slowly shifted his hands

left Noel.
For a moment Noel allowed
his head, looked at the long black unraveling woman who found herself
sitting languidly by the side of the road, keeping him safe until Edwin arrives
to pick her up.
Wasn't that woman the mother of Sylvia, not herself?
Twelve seconds passed. Noels
he did not put his two feet.
Edwin finally took the initiative
to hold Noel's hand, shepherded the boy closer to the middle Linda
hugging his eldest daughter tightly with a torrent of tears on her cheeks.
“Bu Linda..” she pushes
slow down Noel's small body to take a few steps forward. “Actually, this Noel is not
my sister, but her sister Sylvia, the mother's son too.”.
The woman immediately moved
Noel while trying to bend a smile to his lips despite his tears
keep flowing fast.
“Noel... Noel.
mom, Nak?” Linda touched Noel's cheeks while looking at him fixedly.
Those pair of bright brown eyes
looking back at Linda. Noel doesn't understand. This was the first time he met
with the woman who owns the small food stall. Of course he didn't
familiar with the face in front of him. Why does the touch of his fingers feel warm?
Noel quickly let go
the woman hugged him as his ears heard Edwin's footsteps drifting away.
“Sister Edwin! Wait Noel!”
he shouted while pulling the young man's arm.
Edwin turned to face Noel, “Noel
why join Edwin?”
“Noel also wants to go home!”
“You came home with them,”
he pointed towards Linda and Sylvia.
Noel shook his head, “No way!
Noel wants to go home with Edwin!”
“Noel... That's Mama's same sister

“Noel doesn't have Mama!”
lantang.
Edwin listened
the child's statement. At once he turned his gaze towards the downcast Linda.
Of course disappointment enveloped his soft heart. Which mother is not disappointed
heard his son shout loudly that he has no mother?
“Noel! You can't talk
like that!” reproofing. “Come, sorry!”
Apparently Noel insisted with
what's on his mind, “Emang Noel doesn't have a Mama! Sylvia too
not Noel's sister! Noel's brother is Edwin's brother!”
“Your family is them,
Noel. Not Edwin's sister, Dean's sister, or Nara's bi.” Edwin twisting petite body
Noel faced towards his mother and brother. Then he showed Noel's face
through the front camera of his phone. “Try you take a good look, who do you look like? Them? Or brother
Edwin?”
Noel looked at Edwin.
The young man's skin appeared pure white without a single speck of mole or mark
other birth, hair and eyes are both brown. Glance at his eyes
slowly switch on Sylvia and Linda. Both have a lot
similarity to himself. From the ends of the hair to the feet.
“Noel looks like them, right?”
The boy was silent for a moment. Then
finally nodding his head.
Edwin smiled, “That means
they're the Noel.” family
Noel returned to directing
he looked at the two women. He was absorbed by the sentence that had just been
edwin. All this time, he always thought that he was just
a child of kara. A child who lives without parents, siblings, and,
or even one relative. But, it turns out that it was wrong. It has
Slowly, Noel let go
the grip of his hand that squeezed the sleeve of Edwin's shirt.

Nearly five minutes has been
elapsed. However, the pair of brown netra of the young man did not loosen up. Since
earlier, Dean was busy staring at the sofa in front of him that was empty, not occupied by
anybody. In fact, not a single stationery, book, or paper was scattered
decorate the coffee table that should
it is occupied only by pastry jars and tea cups. Home atmosphere
silent silence. Without the sound of rushing feet running from above
ladders. The grand piano in the corner of the living room was also silent. Because, there is no
the fingers that landed pressed the rows of tuts producing beautiful tones.
Why does it feel like this house is so different without Noel?
Indeed, Dean cursed
the boy swore an oath of expulsion to quickly get out of his sight. But, uh,
of course he didn't want that anymore after knowing what kind of nightmare he was having
hidden behind Noel's innocent face. Instead, he treats
Noel is good. It was as if the eight-year-old was his sister
the youngest.
Dean breathed deeply
he leaned his head against the back of the sofa.
“Kak.”
The call made him
jerks.
Edwin quickly pulled back his right hand that was about to land on
Dean's Shoulder.
“Eh, surprised huh? Sorry...” says
Edwin. “Ng... Edwin wants to go first..”.
“Where? Meet lecturer? Or the same streets temen?”
Edwin shakes. “You to Noel's house. Brother want to come?”
Dean turned his eyes away for a moment. Why should I ask? Of course he is
will immediately nod your head and say, “Iya.”

Although the scorching glare of the afternoon sunshine dazzled her gaze, Noel
stay unmoved. The boy was still lying facing the window
immerse your face in the bolsters that it holds.
Supposedly, he felt happy to be back to feel the warm embrace
people who are none other than their real family. But why does his heart feel exactly the opposite? He felt
the same taste as when he lived while at the house of uncle and aunt
Charlotte.
Without a gentle knock, the sound of the door creaking open was clearly heard
passed in Noel's ear, “Woi, out, gih. Someone's looking at lo.”
Seven seconds passed. The boy did not turn his head or
glanced at.
“Kalo he does not want to go out, do not need to be forced, Syl.”
That's Edwin's voice!
Noel quickly ran over to Edwin.
Of course Noel's actions were more embracing him than Sylvia's sister
his own birth, making Edwin can only look at the two of them with
a slight awkward smile on his lips.
Sylvia nodded. He can't blame anyone but himself
and circumstance. If not for the condition of those who previously lived as
the street kid forced the girl to treat Noel firmly so as not to
depending on anyone, it was certain that the boy knew Sylvia
as brother.
Noel's gaze gradually moved.
Both of her brown lenses were fixed on Sylvia. The girl's hair looks like it's already
pigtailed neatly. Complete with short-sleeved black blouse and light blue jeans.
“Do not keep looking at me!
Shit change clothes there! You are also invited to walk!” exclaim the girl while folding
both hands.
Even though his tone of speech
it sounded more relaxed than usual, still, all the sentences were thrown out
sylvia's mouth was like a bolt of lightning in Noel's ear. If that is
command, Noel instantly executed it in seconds.
“Don't be so fierce, dong.
No pity seeing Noel afraid of his own brother?” ledek Edwin's.
“Bacot!” snarled Sylvia briefly
he turned around leaving the young man.
