Everyone enjoyed the lavish party created by Daniel's family. Lots of good food and games for the little ones present.
It is different with Joe. Daniel's friend who always looks cheerful and likes to look for a commotion to Daniel, now even just sitting quietly on the sofa alone.
Daniel who was busy joking with his family immediately fell silent as his eyes turned toward his best friend who was sitting pensively on the sofa.
"Tumben's a man" murmured Daniel a little worried.
Daniel, who was a little worried about his friend's usual cheerful circumstances and looking for trouble with him, approached Joe. Daniel felt that his best friend was having a big burden and confused to solve the problem.
Daniel walked up to Joe with two glasses of syrup to accompany their conversation. Then Daniel handed the glass containing syrup water to Joe after he stood in front of him and made Joe unaware that Daniel was in front of him because he kept daydreaming.
"It is not good to keep daydreaming like that" Daniel scolded as he handed over a glass from his right hand.
"Eh captain" Joe replied surprised from his daydream.
"Thank you" he said after receiving a glass from Daniel's hand. Then Daniel sat down next to Joe and drank his drink, while Joe just looked down while twirling his glass.
"What's the matter?, I've seen you daydream all the time?" daniel asked worriedly and was answered with a headband by Joe.
Daniel knows his breath and embraces Joe's shoulder, then he says "We are brothers, there is nothing to cover up, if one of us has a problem, then we must help each other. You said it yourself, right?".
Joe still kept his head down while continuing to twist his glass. His lips wanted to say something to his best friend, but he was confused where to start, because he did not want to make the happy atmosphere in Daniel's family become a mess if he told the truth.
"Here you go, just say it. I will definitely help you" Daniel said, patting Joe on the shoulder.
"Do you remember my little sister who when we were in school, you saved her from being kidnapped at the bar that time, captain?" ask Joe in a down position.
"You mean Hanabi Megumi? daniel asked a guess and was nodded by Joe.
"Listen-heard your little sister is currently continuing her high school in America right?" timpal Daniel's.
"What's wrong with him?, is he facing another problem in the country?" ask Daniel again, and Joe just shook his head.
"He'll be back here for a while captain" Joe replied with a still-down position.
"Good dong, you haven't seen each other in a long time. Why are you so sad when you know he's coming back?" daniel asked confused.
"You know that he's my only brother, I love him so much, I don't want to see him hurt when I find out that you've been married and had a child" joe answered and Daniel became more confused.
"meaning?" daniel asked confused.
"After you saved him from the kidnapper who took him hostage at the bar at that time, he immediately fell in love with you, for him you were the hero of his life. The purpose he came back here was to express the love he had saved for so many years" Joe explained.
"However, if he finds out that you're married, I'm sure his heart will be very broken captain. I don't want to see him hurt" he said, while Daniel just kept listening.
Flashbacks....
Daniel was walking towards the classroom, knowing that his best friend Joe would welcome him. But on that day Daniel did not get Joe to stand in front of the classroom door to welcome, he even saw his best friend sitting in his chair with a sad face mixed with anger while both eyeballs continue to stare at his cellphone. As a friend, Daniel could feel that Joe was having problems, and he was confused as to what to do.
"What's wrong with you?, you seem to have a really big problem?" ask Daniel to worry.
"My sister is being kidnapped by the captain" Joe replied sadly.
"Right now, he's being held hostage in a bar. If I want him to survive, I have to be his subordinate to join the Yakuza group he leads" he said.
"Yakuza?, a bar?" daniel wondered.
"What's the name of the bar?" asked Daniel who suddenly turned cold.
"Venom" Joe replied.
"Venom?, so the dumpster is still operating?, I told you to close it still defiantly!" inner Daniel growled.
Daniel smiled slightly as he patted Joe on the head, then without saying anything Daniel went out of his class again. A confused Joe tries to call Daniel but Daniel ignores him and Joe tries to call Daniel further away from their class.
Joe, who is also worried about his best friend, finally decides to catch up and try to stop him.
"Captain!" call Joe a little yell from a distance.
Feeling his name called, Daniel stopped and Joe immediately ran to Daniel.
Upon Joe's arrival in front of Daniel, Joe tried to regulate his breathing that had been bored because of chasing Daniel earlier.
"You...hos... hos.... Where are you going?" joe asked a little. Without answering, Daniel continued his steps and headed towards his car.
"Captain!" call Joe a little upset.
Daniel stopped his steps again and replied in a cold tone without turning around "I have business, you go back to class. If the teacher asks me, just tell me I'm not coming in" and Daniel walks in again with a face that turns angry.
Hearing that Joe fell silent for a moment. He was confused by his friend who suddenly changed like that. He was also very worried about the situation of his sister and Daniel.
Feeling a little upset, Joe instead chooses to follow Daniel. Because he was sure that his best friend would do something terrible.
"Wait captain!" call Joe firmly and Daniel again stops his steps. Joe approached Daniel.
"I'm coming!" timpale.
Daniel smiled and replied, "It's up to you" Then Daniel walked to the parking lot where his car was and Joe just followed him.
When the two of them arrive in the car, Daniel still says nothing and makes Joe more worried about the change of his best friend suddenly after hearing the news that Joe's brother was kidnapped.
"Where are we going, captain?" ask Joe to worry. While Daniel just silent while turning on the engine of a Lamborghini car that cost above 4 billion at that time.
"Don't ask a lot of questions, sit down and just enjoy this trip" replied Daniel coldly and then immediately stuck the accelerator at a high speed.
