Joe who saw Aciel's smile narrowed his eyes suspiciously with Aciel's smile, Joe who was about to open his mouth shut once Aeleasha returned and sat down again beside Aciel.
"What did your mother-in-law Aelea say?" Melisa asked curiously, because Aeleasha came with a red hue on her face.
"Momy gave her a honeymoon ticket to Bali as our wedding gift." Aciel embraces Aeleasha.
Will and Joe cried in disappointment but their faces were very flat as if nothing had happened.
"Ah.. Yes, Mommy forgot." Melisa walks into her bedroom and comes out with a red box in her hand.
"This is for Aciel and Aeleasha from Momy and Daddy." Melisa handed the box to Aeleasha.
"Is this Mom?" Aeleasha was very curious about the contents, refraining from opening them first.
"That's a ticket to the island of Hawaii." Wili cleared her throat, turning her gaze elsewhere.
"Gee.. Now my sister's dream of going to Hawaii is very well fulfilled." Temptation Joe, "Ah.. I'm so envious." Joe put on a sad face.
"Blame yourself for not being married." Cibir Wili, Joe who was pierced silent a thousand words, did not know what to answer.
They all laughed at the silent Joe, Joe heaved a heavy sigh. A very painful fact to remember.
...****************...
"Aelina." Call Joe his hand waving giving Aeleasha the code to get close to him.
Aeleasha giggles funny to see Joe, but there is no one in the park but Joe instead acts strange.
"I'm gonna take you to a secret place." Joe pulls Aeleasha's hand to follow her out.
The two of them walked up the stairs and turned towards Joe's room, on the left side of Joe's room there is a hallway leading to the terrace which is right facing the rising sun and there are also two empty rooms facing each other.
One of the rooms was always locked tightly, there was no day that the room was unlocked. While Joe is carrying Aeleasha to the front of the room, Joe reaches into his pants pocket, pulls out the key and opens it.
Joe pulls Aeleasha into the room, which is pitch-black. Aeleasha could not see anything in the room, looking left and right.
Joe pulled the curtains in the room, the sunlight immediately illuminated the dark room, now Aeleasha could see clearly what was inside the room.
"Why are there two beds here?" Murmuring Aeleasha noticed the mattress, Aeleasha glanced to the left. A large picture frame hangs there, there are two teenagers wearing SMP uniforms smiling widely.
Aeleasha's hand was raised touching the photo, Aeleasha's gaze turned to look around her. This room is full of various award certificates.
"Aelea, here." Joe, who was sitting on the bed, patted the bed, asking Aeleasha to sit next to him.
"You know, I don't like sharing secrets. But you have to know this." Joe lowered his head confused as to how to tell it.
"Haa... Alright. Aeleasha actually you have two older brothers, named Theo." Joe gave open the album that was on his lap.
Aeleasha opened the book and noticed every photo that was there, from babies to teenagers. Aeleasha turned her page but there were no more photos, Aeleasha raised her head to look at Joe.
"Well... Theo died before he became an adult, but he was a very cheerful and kind brother." said Joe, turning his face elsewhere.
"He left first before even meeting you, Aeleasha. I'm completely useless as a big brother." Joe squeezes his chest tight, Aeleasha crouches down in front of Joe and clasps Joe's hand.
"That's not true Brother Joe, you've done your best." Aeleasha smiled comforting Joe, Joe closed his eyes with his arm.
"Theo died before you were born, more precisely he died when he was in the 2nd grade of Junior High because he was hit by a truck. All of that happened because of the actions of uncle who envied Dady, uncle wanted Dady destroyed by killing Momy but Theo saved Momy by encouraging Momy not to be hit but..." Joe still wants to tell a story but his tongue feels very weak, Joe's hands clenched tightly thinking about past events.
"It turns out I have two great and brave brothers." Praise Aeleasha with a big smile, Joe who saw Aeleasha smiling too.
"Aeleasha, you're here." Joe and Aeleasha looked at the door where Aciel was standing.
Aeleasha got up and walked over to Aciel, Joe who was looking at Aeleasha's distant back smiled faintly.
"Did you hear that Theo, your little brother said you were so great and brave." Joe muttered touching the photo of himself and Theo embracing each other.

"Why are you going home so soon, just stay the night." Persuade Melisa.
"I also want to be so Mom, but we can't because tomorrow morning Aeleasha and I are leaving for Bali." Aciel embraces the friendly Aeleasha.
"All right then. Aelea always remember to take care of health." Melisa said, Aeleasha did not know what to say only to be able to hug Melisa tightly.
Willi and Joe who were beside also hugged Aeleasha, after hugging Aeleasha into the car and Aeleasha also did not forget to wave her hand as soon as the car moved to leave the yard.
