"Gabrian, why are you standing here? Is that your twin brother? Gab....!"
Gabriel instantly silenced Figia's mouth with his hand. "Don't bother them. Just leave them both."
"But we...."
"You go!"
Figia was a little confused but she followed Gabrian out the side door of the restaurant as well.
"You're okay, right?" ask Figia when both of them are in the car.
"Yes. I'm fine." Gabrian tried to smile even though he felt something hurt in his heart.
After driving Figia to his house, Gabrian continued his journey home. When he got home, he saw his father was there.
"Dad, are you home?"
"Yes, honey. Daddy wants to get ready for the midnight surprise. Daddy called Stevany and Joselin to get them ready."
"But daddy didn't tell me I was coming home?"
"No. Oh yeah, is Gabriel still in his office?"
"Maybe. I'm going to go to the room first, Dad." Gabrian stepped up the stairs to get to his room.
The 22-year-old tried to calm his heart. He picks up the novel that Eilaria dropped 5 years ago in front of an elevator. He smiled at the novel.
Maybe it's time I had to throw love away at 17. Who would have thought that the girl was actually dating my sister. Maybe his soul mate is not me.
Gabrian took the novel and put it in the drawer he had in his closet.

After lunch together, Gabriel invites Eilaria to watch a movie together.
"Say will go today. Brother will be late." Eil.
"It's the plane at night, baby. We still have 4 hours."
"Sister is ready? I mean the clothes and necessities that will be brought to Bali."
"Yes. Last night I prepared everything. Today I want to have time with you." Gabriel grabbed Eilaria's hand. Both are in the car, but Gabriel is not running the car.
Eilaria's face turned red. Gabriel's words always made him blush. "Sister, you always seduce girls like this huh?"
Gabriel looked at Eilaria. "Darling, you're not my first boyfriend. But you're the only one I've always wanted to shower with beautiful words."
"Lied....!"
Gabriel's hands held the left side of Eilaria's cheek. "Darling, look at me!"
Eilaria looked up at Gabriel. His black eyes look sparkling. Eilaria could feel there was a sincere, loving look there. Eilaria's heart was beating very fast. His heart was filled with a strange vibe that made him feel happy.
"You were the first to make me confident in this feeling of love." Gabriel said very softly.
"I believe it, brother."
Gabriel smiled. Slowly he lowered his head. Her right hand on Eilaria's cheek slowly descended to her neck, their face so close, that Eilaria finally felt a soft touch on her lips. The girl's eyes were round. First kiss. Eilaria's body trembled. But he did not try to shake the kiss. Slowly he closed his eyes. Although her lips were still motionless, Eilaria enjoyed it.
Gabriel smiled as he sensed that the girl in front of him was not rejecting his kiss. His heart is very happy. He even felt a little nervous knowing that Eilaria wasn't good at kissing.
"Darling, is this your first kiss?" gabriel asked at the corner of the girl's lips.
Eilaria nodded timidly.
"Eilarie...!" Gabriel doesn't know what to say. He immediately pulled the girl in his arms. He kissed the top of Eilaria's head in love.
"Sister, so don't you go to the movies?" eilaria asked as their embrace unraveled.
"To your apartment only. We'll talk to each other till the time I leave is right."
"OK."
Gabriel immediately runs the car. Throughout the journey the two did not stop staring at each other. Eilaria even pinched Gabriel's hand.
"Sister, look ahead not to the side." said Eilaria.
"Nothing is beautiful in front of me, if it's too beautiful to miss."
"Buck!" Eilaria pulled her hand from Gabriel's grasp. He looked to the side. Pretending to stare out the window in the event his face keeps a smile to the side.

Jeronimo stared at his watch, which was half-seven p.m. Their plane will leave at 9pm so at 7pm they will have to leave for the airport.
"Well, where's your twin brother? How come he hasn't come home?" ask Jeronimo.
Gabrian, who was enjoying his dinner, looked at his papa. "No idea, dad."
Jeronimo called his son immediately. Shortly afterwards Gabriel picked up his phone.
"Hallo, son. Where are you?"
"I'm still at my girlfriend's apartment, dad. I'll just leave here. We'll meet you at the airport."
"What are you doing with your boyfriend?" Ask Jeronimo with a feeling of anxiety. He was afraid that Gabriel would follow in his footsteps first.
"Don't be late to the airport. Greetings to your girlfriend."
Jeronimo shook his head with a smile. "Iel has been dating a few times, but only this time daddy saw that he was really intoxicated with love."
Gabrian simply replied to his father with a smile. His heart was again pierced. But he tried to get rid of the pain. As his mother always said, Iel's happiness is also Ian's happiness.
Meanwhile in Eilaria's apartment, Gabriel and and Eilaria were still sitting on the sofa holding hands.
"Eil, don't call me brother. I think I'm much older than you. In terms of age we are only 3 years adrift."
Eilaria smiled. "So, what should I call you?"
"Call love, or honey, or love or call my name."
Eilaria laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"It feels like, yes, I'm used to calling people older than me like sisters. At my home in England, the rules on the call were very strict. Mommy would be mad if I called my two brothers by their names."
"But I want to be like that, baby."
"All right, baby..." Eilaria said shyly.
Gabriel was so worried to hear it. He kissed Eilaria's cheek again. I don't know how many times the two kissed each other on the lips, cheeks, hands. Two people who are drunk on love like never tired of expressing affection between them.
As Gabriel was leaving, Eilaria drove him to the apartment parking lot.
"Ah, I don't think I want to go." Gabriel was reluctant to get in his car.
"Go, you'll be late."
Gabriel felt strange about himself. Usually it's not like this with his girlfriends. If their date had been successful, Gabriel would never have felt too good to leave them. But this time, he felt hard to leave.
"Darling, it's been almost half eight nights." Eilaria raised her hand revealing her watch.
Gabriel was pouting. He hugged Eilaria very tightly. "Lost me, huh?" Then he kissed Eil on the forehead and got into his car.
Eil waved at the stucco guy. He also felt like there was not enough time for them to be together. After Gabriel's car passed from his sight, he stepped into the apartment.

The surprise party prepared by Jeronimo for his wife successfully made Giani cry. They arrived at the villa when the clock was 12 past 5 minutes. Since the afternoon, Giani was a little upset because Stevany and Joselin successfully made him upset because they always disappeared to the beach. So he immediately went to bed finished eating and planned to go home tomorrow. Moreover, Gabriel and Jeronimo do not want to pick up their cell phones.
"Mother is happy that you are here, baby." Giani said as he wrapped his hand around his son's shoulder.
Gabrian smiled as his mother's hand stroked his hair.
"Where's daddy and the others?"
"Daddy is asleep. Stevany and Joselin. If Iel looks like a phone call again. He's got a new girlfriend, right?"
"Yes." Yeah." Gabrian answered with a slightly heavy voice.
Giani looked at his son. "Why do you sound like that? There's something you know about Iel's girlfriend?"
Gabrian hurriedly shook his head. He knew that he and Iel could not hide anything from their mother. Giani seemed to be able to read the hearts of his children.
"There's nothing, mother."
"Ian, do you know her boyfriend Iel?"
"No, mother. I've never met."
"Really?"
Gabrian. I'm sorry I lied, mother."
"Mother, what the hell did I not tell my mother? Now you sleep, huh? It's almost three and a half hours dawn. Dad's gonna be pissed if he doesn't find mom next to him." Gabrian stood followed by his mother.
The two stepped inside the villa. Giani walks into his room and Gabrian heads to his room with Gabriel. As he opened the door, Gabriel appeared to have just come out of the bathroom.
"Not slept?" ask Gabrian.
"Just finished the call with Eilaria."
"Oh, her name is Eilaria?"
Gabriel nodded with a smile. He also went up to his bed. "I don't want to stop talking on the phone. I miss something new a few hours apart."
"You really love him?"
"I'm going to propose to her soon."
"Are you serious?"
Gabriel nodded. "Today I'm serious about a woman."
Gabrian. "I will support you no matter what your decision is with the girl" Gabrian said earnestly despite his heart ache.
"Thank you, bro!" gabriel closed his eyes with a smile of happiness.
