"Carmen, who's that guy? He claims to be your close friend, is that right? Said you had a lover? Who her? Hey, Carmen, don't shut up! Tell me! Come to think of it, I don't know you yet" urged Sid.
Since that day, Sid has been following Angel and urging her with questions like a journalist.
At first, Angel did not care much about the ramblings and questions. But because Sid kept asking, Angel was upset. "It's none of your business, is it, Sid? Stop asking! My head wants to break!"
Not giving up, Sid let Angel to calm down first because he was determined to get answers from the girl had made him curious.
Somehow, when Frank says that Angel already has a lover, Sid's heart becomes unsettled. Is it because he is afraid of losing? During this time he became an only child and there were no fighting friends. However, since Angel came, his life became crowded. Because there was someone he could flirt with and could argue with him about anything.
That night, Sid sees Angel sitting on the beach. The girl was only wearing short clothes as well as shorts. Sid rushes inside to pick up the jacket, after which, he approaches Angel and puts the jacket on his foster sister's shoulder.
"Just this time you're calm" Sid said as he took a position beside Angel.
Angel wears the black loan jacket. "Thank you but have you washed it? It stinks!"
Sid bumps into Angel's arm and makes the girl stagger to the side. "Damn it! I've been kind enough to lend you my beloved jacket! Just wear it without complaining,"
"I've said thank you!" reply Angel upset.
After that they both went silent for quite a while and just let the waves rumble and play around on the beach.
"Aarghh! Too quiet! I don't like it!" said Sid fiery. "Come, speak! Tell me anything!"
Angel laughed at her brother's behavior. "Haha! What's wrong with you, Sid? It's so weird,"
Suddenly, Sid reached out his hand. "We have not formally known. My name is Sidney Jones. You can call me Sid. I love surfing in the ocean, but my mother forbade me for fear that I would be lost in the waves. If I was surfing right now, maybe my mom would give me permission, because she already has a spare child. What's yourname?"
With a smile, Angel returned Sid's hand and clasped it tightly. "My name is Carmen Brooke and I'm a nobody. I don't have anything I like. I just live my life for the better. That's it,"
Sid pecked for a moment to hear Angel's words, but then he grinned widely. "Ah, so. Nice to meet you, Carmen Brooke,"
"What do you mean, Sid? Hahaha, you can be funny as it turns out," said Angel again without releasing his hand grip on Sid. "Your hands are warm, I'm happy to hold them,"
Angel rests her head on her knees that she is tightening. Sid follows his sister's style. The two of them met each other. Once again, they fell silent without any words spoken from their mouths.
"You are beautiful" Sid said, breaking the silence. "Mom always said you were pretty much like her when she was young,"
Angel smiled happily, but at the same time, for some reason she felt claustrophobic for no reason. Is it because Sarah's not her real mother? One of the reasons he didn't want to come back was that he didn't want to leave Sarah here.
Sarah is different from Madam Sienna. Angel can feel that Sarah really loves him and treats him like her own child.
The woman always does the general things like a mother. Asking what she wanted to eat, scolding and defending her as she clashed with Sid, hugging him abruptly for no reason, and peeping Angel's forehead and cheeks affectionately.
Without notice, Angel's tears rolled quickly from the tail of her eyes. Angel rubbed the more and more clear details quickly. "I'm sorry, Sid. I'm being-, ...."
Sid grabs her and pats Angel's arm. "I won't ask you again if you don't want to tell a story. You don't have to smile, Carmen. I remember once when you first came home, you cried in silence. Even you forced your smile, so it wouldn't be seen by mom. Your smile when we first met your present smile, I'd rather your present smile. It looks more sincere,"
Angel took her breath. "Do you know? I don't have a family, Sid. Right now, my love has been given to you and to you. Then all of a sudden, the man came and brought me back,"
"If you ask about the man, I can't tell you, Sid. The story will be very long and not necessarily you want to accept me after listening to my story," said Angel again.
Sid shrugged both of his shoulders. "Yes, don't tell me,"
The smile on Angel's face grew back. "You're not forcing me like that?"
Sid's face flushed red and he rubbed his nose. "I'm satisfied enough with what you said that you gave your love to me and my mother. What else could make me happy besides that? I don't think there is. I'm glad you're here because I'm not lonely anymore and most of all, I have a fight buddy, hahaha!"
"Haha! I also feel lucky to come here because I can find a very good family like you and mom" Angel said. He pinched Sid's cheek and shook it up and down.
Sid tries to pull Angel's hand from his cheek while pitting loudly. "sick! Mom, Carmen pinched me! You should see him torturing me, Mom!"
Before long, the two of them had been chasing each other on the beach and throwing sand at each other's bodies. So cool, the two of them did not listen to Sarah's cry calling and asked them to go home and shower immediately.
"Say! Carmen! What are you guys doing all night? Go home! Don't you need to eat! Hey, kids!" squeeze Sarah while pushing her hands together.
The next morning, a man woke up to be startled by the sound of a phone ringing.
"Hello" said the man.
("Where are you, Frank?") ask for a voice across.
Frank scratched his eyes, trying to gather his consciousness to be able to digest who contacted him early in the morning. "Dante, why?"
("Where are you?") insist Dante.
"I'm still outside. My project is not finished yet, I am thinking of staying here even longer. Someone offered me to specialize and I thought I'd take it" Frank replied. He never mentioned to Dante where he was at the moment for one reason or another. The main reason is because Frank feels disappointed and upset with his best friend for losing Angel.
("Evelyn ruined my life! Did you read or watch the news this morning?") ask Dante. His tone sounded very angry.
"I told you, stay away from him! He's a snake, Dante! But you fucked him! You're nuts! Take care of your own business, I wash my hands" Frank said. "You never heard my advice! What exactly are you looking for, Dante? When Angel goes missing, you're not looking for her or waiting for her! You're playing around with Evelyn! What is your heart made of?"
Dante fell silent and heard the sound of breathing from across the street. ("Evelyn told me Angel was dead. He escaped from the kidnapper and drowned himself into the sea,")
"When have you believed Evelyn, Brother? Marry that woman and don't call me anymore!" frank snarls and he closes his call in annoyance.
His drowsiness had evaporated and he was looking for news about Dante through his cell phone. It is not difficult to find the news because news about Dante is trending topics throughout social media.
'Dante Morgan and Evelyn Morgan Look More Friendly. They Plan To Join Pregnancy Program!'
"Death to you, Dante!" hiss Frank is hateful. He threw his phone away and was grateful Angel didn't have a personal phone.
