Emma and Aldrich are finally home. It was late at night, and the boy was still silent all the way. Didn't even answer Emma's question before.
Aldrich got into the house first, and Emma still hasn't left the car.
"Miss, not down?" Ask Mr. Darma while looking at Emma from the rearview mirror. But the lady was silent. "Miss?"
Emma daydreamed, her gaze only fixed on her own hands.
"Non?" Mr. Darma patted the hand of Emma who continued to be looked at by the owner. Until Emma was shocked and fully aware.
"Look, please tell Ron that I'm leaving again. And make sure Al eats dinner."
"Eh? Where do you want to go?" Ask Mr. Darma.
"Wait a minute."
Again even though Mr. Darma is confused, but still let Emma. He got out of the car, and Emma took the wheel and left.
"Who? What lady?" Ron came out at the wrong time, because he only found Mr. Darma alone.
"Just left. He said he was going to the beach."
"Beach?" Ron raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"No, what? Forgetting. Anyway that's."
"That's what?"
"Hehe earlier I didn't really hear what Miss said. He is very sad. By the way like a prankster."

It was really night time when Emma got in front of the fence of a house that was quite large in size. He used to call it a place to go home. Now it is only a place to stay if there is free time.
Emma's not in yet. He was still in the car staring at the building in silence.
I really came here. I was just guessing.
Seeing Al's current problem, I suddenly remembered Al's mother's name written on the tombstone. I swear I read his name somewhere. And now I remember. I once read that in a book listing outstanding children kept in the library of the orphanage.
Yunna Alisya, many won awards so that made the orphanage very proud at that time. But why have I never seen him? She should be a foster mom, right? It must have something to do with Al and the Hamilton family.
It's duakk!!!
Emma banged her own head on the wheel. He's very confused now. It felt like asking with the eldest brother in the parlour immediately. But he was afraid of hearing bad news. He was sorry for Aldrich.
Geck! Geck!
Emma turned her head towards the windshield of her car which was knocked from outside. It turned out to be his oldest brother. Emma hurriedly lowered the glass.
"Why not go in? I saw your car parked here."
Emma smiled and immediately nodded. "It's coming in."
"You have a lot of thoughts? It's okay to think here first. But don't catch a cold for long. Come on in and have dinner together."
My brother always knows what I think. But I want to know the facts immediately. Even though I promised myself not to find out about Al, in fact I was really worried about him.
"Then I'll go first"
"Yunna Alisha." Emma looked at her sister seriously. "Please tell me, who is Yunna Alisya?"
Rere, the name of Emma's oldest sister in the orphanage, was surprised to hear the question posed by her sister. He was like a flutter and his eyes were irregular. "I don't know what you're talking about." Rere replied with a forced smile.
Emma sighed, then got out of the car and approached Rere. "I read that name in the library. You can't lie to me."
Instead of answering, Rere even dizzy to see the situation around. She was afraid that someone would hear her talk.
"Sister?"
"Let's go in. We'll have dinner first." Rere again showed his fake smile and walked into the parlour area. Still curious, Emma followed him.
After being away from the streets and starting to enter the terrace of the parlour. Rere whispered to Emma. "Don't say that name out loud. Dangerous. Come with me."
Emma still did not understand, Rere suddenly took her to the library. And after arriving, Rere immediately closed the door and window of the library that was quiet, not forgetting before he checked the situation around.
Rere put the ledger on the table. Her ashes made Emma cough. He knew that since the last time he opened, the book was untouched.
After opening a few pages. Rere stopped at a photo of a sweet-looking girl, hugging a big trophy with the inscription 1st champion.
"He's Yunna Alisya."
Emma was shocked and shut her mouth in disbelief. Because Yunna's face is very similar to Aldrich's. If only his hair wasn't long, he would have thought it was Aldrich.
Rere sat on the chair and looked down sadly. "Sir Yunna was the proud child of this orphanage before you. He is well liked by many. He said he was smooth, smart, diligent, and friendly to anyone. Brother Yunna is like a reflection of an angel. Until finally, disaster came when he was studying abroad."
Emma sat down next to Rere and rubbed her brother's back. Rere looked like he wanted to cry, and Emma tried to calm him down. "What disaster?"
"But first you have to promise, don't tell anyone this. Because the lives of the people in this orphanage could be threatened."
Emma was silent for a moment, she was actually confused why the lives of people here could be threatened just because of a story? But Emma nodded first and tried to listen to her story.
"The foster mother of the previous owner of the parlour had to die to protect the information of Yonna's brother."
"Died?! Why?"
"Because of the Hamilton family." Rere seemed to squeeze his hand firmly. While Emma held back her surprise and waited for Rere to tell her further. "While studying abroad, Brother Yunna met Jeff Hamilton, and all these disasters began."
"Jeff Hamilton? Who'sis that? Isn't Hamilton's only son Matt Hamilton?"
Rere shook his head slowly. "They are demons. Don't believe it."
Emma nodded. He had to shut up first and wait for his brother to tell him a story. He also finally found out that everything really had something to do with Aldrich and the Hamilton family.
"Sir Yunna began a relationship with Jeff Hamilton, the Hamilton family's first child."
First kid?! So the old rumors are true?
"Their relationship was not sanctioned by the Hamilton family. After that, I haven't heard from him in a long time. Until one day he called after a long time, and started telling the orphanage mother using a code. The foster mother didn't tell us anything about the news she heard. Just saying to be quiet if anyone asks about sister Yonna."
Rere stood up and closed the ledger he had opened earlier. "Then one day many bad people came here, asking for the whereabouts of Brother Yunna. According to the orders of the foster mother, we didn't say anything, after all we didn't know where Yonna was. They finally went to the foster mother and told her about the phone evidence. For not answering their questions, without further ado one of the bad guys shot him dead."
Emma did not know what to comment. He could not believe that the Hamilton family was actually so cruel.
Rere continued his story while looking at Emma. "I was scared, but I didn't have to do anything. After killing the foster mother, they forced us to talk. He said if he didn't tell the truth, he would be shot as well. We swore we didn't know anything, but they still threatened. I finally ventured to threaten the Hamilton family back. If they kill anyone from this orphanage again, then I'm gonna publicly divulge the facts about Jeff Hamilton."
Brother Rere's choice was pretty good in that urgent situation. The Hamilton family certainly did not want the information uncovered, so deliberately hid it for years.
"Finally they agreed to my request, and didn't touch this orphanage again. But every once in a while I see suspicious people watching this place. I don't know why they're looking for the whereabouts of Brother Yunna, and why the foster mother was protecting her so much that she sacrificed her life. Clearly, I still hope that Brother Yonna is still living happily now."
Emma threw a face away, and let out a heavy sigh. He stood up and approached Rere. "Sir Yunna is dead. He has a son who now lives with me."
Rere. He looked at Emma in disbelief. "Really? And how do you know? At that time you were very small, only met with sister Yonna once before she studied abroad and without news. When you were adopted, Brother Yunna told me."
"I came to his tomb, and the name of Yunna Alisya was inscribed on the tombstone. Then I took care of her little son."
Rere fell down in shock. Then he cried so. The brother he had been praying for was fine, turned out to be no more in this world. And worse... Leaving a child?
With a trembling voice, Rere tried asking. "Did the child know you were from the same orphanage as his mother, and wish you would take care of him?"
Emma shakes. "No. I think this is destiny. That kid might come to me for some other business I still don't know about."
"Other routes?" Rere looked up and looked at Emma.
"He was the son of Yonna's brother and Jeff Hamilton."
"Me-they got kids?! Means the reason the foster mother protected her existence first, because sister Yonna has a child?" Rere clutched his head which suddenly entered a lot of information.
"From Rere's story, I finally understood something. The reason Yonna's older son approached me was for revenge on the Hamilton family."
"meaning?"
Emma suddenly feels like meeting Aldrich as soon as possible. Once he found out, it felt like he wanted to hear a confession from the boy immediately. "Son, I'll go home first."
"Wait for Emma, explain first."
"I'll explain everything, but once I've fully understood. Bye bye!" Emma spoke hurriedly while running away from the orphanage.
