***

At the airport ....

Sherlyn just arrived. He walked quickly to the lobby. In the middle of the road he accidentally collided with someone.

"Ah, sorry ... " Sherlyn said.

"Sorry too. I seem to be focusing too much on my phone. " Said someone took her downed phone, then looked at Sherlyn.

Sherlyn was shocked to see that person. He felt his face was not foreign.

"You ... Alvaro?" asked Sherlyn frowning.

"Yes? you recognize me?" ask Alvaro.

"So right, you're Alvaro? the Audrey twin sister?" ask Sherlyn to make sure again.

"Yes, it's me. You who? do we know each other?" ask Alvaro confused.

Sherlyn laughed loudly. He hit Alvaro's shoulder hard. He introduced himself, so that Alvaro remembered him.

"I'm Sherlyn. Neighbor next door to your house first" replied Sherlyn.

Alvaro was surprised, "What? Sherlyn?" muttered.

Sherlyn smiled beautifully. He asked what Alvaro was doing at the airport? Alvaro replied, if he had just arrived and wanted to take a taxi home. Sherlyn said she had just arrived. He came early because he wanted to help Audrey more in preparation for the wedding

In the end they both took the same taxi because their destination was the same, Alvaro's house.

Along the way, the two remained silent. Sherlyn felt awkward because her best friend's brother was just silent. Sherlyn stole a look. He was surprised that Alvaro had grown into a grown man, from what was once only an eight-year-old snot.

"I didn't recognize you. If your face didn't look like Audrey's, I wouldn't have known it was you" Sherlyn said.

Alvaro. He doesn't know what to answer. He was afraid of mispronouncing and even made his sister's friend hurt. His intentions are not like that.

"How are you, Al?" shelyn asked trying to get along with Alvaro.

"I'm-I'm good," replied Alvaro nervously.

"What's your busy?" ask Sherlyn again.

"I-I'm a teacher. I teach High School boys." replied Alvaro.

"Uwahhh .. so cool. But what was your goal to be a teacher? I don't remember it" said Sherlyn.

Alvaro. He was embarrassed to tell me that he was actually a teacher to be able to educate his students not to be criminals like him. Alvaro has been living alone in a foreign land. Even Alvaro's parents only occasionally came and it wasn't long.

Alvaro knew his mistake was unforgivable. He has made a big mistake on his brother so that it makes his brother lose money. From that experience, Alvaro learned to control himself. He who likes to gamble and play women, now hates gambling especially women.

Sherlyn's confused. Why would the person next to him just be quiet. He also kept quiet. Sherlyn thought that she was too shameless to be so intimate with Alvaro.

"Welcome, son" Andrew whispered. He clutched his son's body.

"I'm home, Pa. I miss you all" said Alvaro in tears.

Andrew patted his son's back. Although he used to be out of bounds and exiled, he was still his son, his own flesh and blood. It is hard to hate.

The hug with the Papa came off. Alvaro hugged his mother tightly. He said he missed his mother sobbing. My mother could not control her feelings either.

Alvaro took off a hug and lowered his head, wiping away his tears. He was sad, and was moved that his family would welcome him.

"You don't want to greet me and hug me, Al?" asked Audrey who was standing right behind Alvaro.

Alvaro was surprised, he turned around and looked at Audrey. He saw his brother for a while, before he greeted him.

"Rere .." call Alvaro.

"Yes, it's me. Hm ... have you changed your hairstyle? your appearance has also changed," Audrey said.

"Ah, i-iya" replied Alvaro. He was confused, not knowing what to do.

"Why are you so quiet? you're not happy to see me or what?" ask Audrey.

Alvaro immediately shook his head. He replied, if he felt strange. It felt like his heart and mind were mixed. Alvaro said he was happy to be back and to see the whole family welcome him.

Audrey smiled, she immediately hugged Alvaro tightly. As a twin, it's a lie that Audrey doesn't miss Alvaro. During parting ways with her twin, she would sometimes quietly cry alone in a quiet place, so as not to tell Sherlyn.

"I miss you, Re. Sorry .. " muttered Alvaro hugged Audrey tightly.

Audrey smiled, "I'm sorry for being right. You bad guy!" audrey said in tears.

Drying eyes wet again because Alvaro could not resist the crying. He felt very guilty, also grateful, after seeing Audrey want to hug him.

Audrey took off a hug, "Are you being diligent in sports? my body was hard and getting more muscular," Audrey asked.

"Ah, yes. I exercise regularly every day. Looks like my muscle building efforts worked, yes." replied Alvaro.

Audrey remembers that she had to introduce Alvaro to Hansen and the boy. When he found out his twin had a child, Alvaro was surprised.

"They .. Your son?" alvaro looked at Audrey, after looking at Cello and Cella.

"Yes, they're my kids. Wh why? doesn't it look like me?" audrey looked at Alvaro as she widened her eyes.

"Bu-not that. I'm just surprised, you already have a child. So I'm Uncle now, huh?" alvaro smiled.

Audrey and Alvaro spoke in four eyes. Audrey told me what she hadn't told me. If she's pregnant with a guy who spends the night with her. And that man was none other than Hansen. Audrey also told her story during her stay abroad. Audrey and Alvaro both live lives away from their parents. Audrey struggles with her children, and Alvaro struggles to find his identity.

"How, yes. I used to be very upset, but as hard as I thought there was a culture in it. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gone to that hotel and met Hansen. If it wasn't for that night, I wouldn't have two cute angels like Cello and Cella" Audrey said.

"So still, I feel guilty. I have been living in fear all this time. I fear forever being exiled. Although the last time I visited, Papa and Mama asked me to come back, but in the end I refused their wishes.

"I still feel guilty. Wanting to find out about you, fearing that there will be misunderstandings that trigger a fight. So I chose to be quiet and reflect on all my mistakes. I was determined to give up all my bad habits and become a better person" Alvaro said.

Audrey was happy, Alvaro had mature thoughts. He is proud of Alvaro. Audrey also said she no longer hated Alvaro. Previous events are experiences. What is happening now is a gift. And future events are hope.
