06

Which brother's heart doesn't feel the pain of seeing his little brother crying in his arms? Gio knew very well his sister was so hurt, until without being asked the clear liquid also dripped down his cheeks. By itself, his brain replayed the bitter memory of five months ago.

Flashback on.

At that time a man was seen walking in a hurry with his eyes shining with anger and his hands clenched into fists. It can be seen that the young man is holding back his anger. He kept walking until he came to a very familiar room. The door to the room was opened and a young man was sitting pensively on the red sofa.

With quick steps the young man filled with anger hit the young man who was on the sofa until blood was flowing at the corner of his lips.

"You bastard Al!" Plan shouted. He grabbed Aleric's shirt collar making Alric stand up from his seat.. "What's wrong with my brother, so that you have the heart to betray her?"

Aleric was silent and unable to look at Gio.

"I've been telling you from the start! Don't ever hurt my sister! Never make her cry! But why did you hurt him so easily, you betrayed him you bastard!" Gio shouted, then he was beaten many times.

"Gio stop! You can kill him!" shouted Alvin who had just arrived trying to stop his lover.

As fast as lightning Alvin caught up with Gio who left in anger and drove his car to Aleric's photo studio. Alvin really understands Gio's character, when it comes to his younger brother then the young man will be in control.

"Let go." Gio said after Alvin managed to pull him away from Aleric.

"I'm sorry Gio. I'm sorry." Aleric said quietly.

"Save your regrets, bastard. I'm sorry I let you approach my sister." Gio glared at Aleric.

"Don't ever show your face in front of my sister again. Stay away from him, or I'll really finish you off." Gio said, and quickly left Aleric

After Gio's death, Alvin silently looked at Aleric who was involved there were some bruises that Gio had just.

"I don't know what made you do this to Iel, Al. But I'm really disappointed in you. As Gio said, stay away from Iel. Never hurt her again. Or you will also get a reply from me." Alvin said and walked away from Aleric who now regretted his actions even more.

When Gio got home, he went straight to his sister's room.

He approached his sister who was still sitting quietly on his bed. He rubbed Gabriel's head dear.

"You haven't eaten Iel yet?" Gio asked when he saw the tray containing the food he had brought was still intact on the nightstand.

"I'm not hungry Sis." Gabriel answered quietly.

Gio was silent. This week his sister was gloomy and kept quiet in her room. And how Gio cursed himself when he just found out about his sister's problem. Of course after he forced Gabriel to say what happened to him. And how surprised Gio was when he heard his sister talk. At that time, Gio felt like a stupid brother because he didn't know the big problem his younger brother was facing.

"You haven't eaten Iel since this morning, eat it. I'll feed it." Gio coaxed, his hand took the food on the nightstand.

With painstaking Gio fed his sister. Every now and then he gently stroked Gabriel's mane. Gio loves his little brother very much, he didn't want to see his little brother constantly gloomy and sitting in his room. Even the smile that was always etched on Gabriel's face is now gone and replaced with a blank stare.

Gio knew Gabriel really loved his best friend. And Gio also knows how much Aleric also loves his sister. But, the betrayal that Aleric had done to his sister, really made a person angry. He also still did not think, Aleric had the heart to do that to his sister. Makes Gabriel Jair Mukesh who used to be cheerful, now always looks gloomy.

For days, Gio has done various ways to make his younger brother back to normal. Every day Gio also tries not to leave his sister alone, Gio will always be by Gabriel's side. Doing everything to return the sincere smile that was lost from his sister.

Flashback off.

"AI will always take care of you El. I'll do anything so you don't feel sad anymore." Gio said quietly looking at the peaceful face of his sister who is now asleep.

"I love you so much. Good night." He kissed Gabriel's forehead dear. Gio also closed his eyes to rest and work again the next day.

*****

Early morning at the Mukesh family residence, to be precise at the family dining table. All the family members have gathered and ate their breakfast with the occasional small talk.

"Are you guys leaving, Gio?" Mukesh asked suddenly.

Gio put his spoon and fork on the plate, then looked at Gabriel who was sitting beside him. "Does Iel want to transfer to study in Aussie with me?" Gio asked Gabriel to distract his brother.

"Why all of a sudden?” Gabriel asked .

"It's not sudden Iel, I've thought about it long ago. Do you want it?" Gio asked, stroking Gabriel's hair.

"Yes, as long as it's with Big Brother." Gabriel said smiling.

"Fine if you agree. Later I will take care of our transfer papers at the university. And the day after tomorrow we leave." Gio said smiling.

"That fast?" Gabriel asked in surprise.

"The sooner the better Iel. I'm tired of the hot weather in Berlin. It's winter in Aussie now, so we don't need to be hot." Added Gio jokingly with his younger brother.

"Hahaha .. yes yes .. I'll just go with you . "Gabriel said laughing.

Gio was relieved when Gabriel compiled without asking much. Today, all they have to do is meet the chancellor and take care of their moving papers to Aussie.

Before Gio finally decided to move to Aussie with Gabriel, Gio had already spoken with Evan and Alvin. And they both agreed to the plan. Alvin doesn't mind either. He said that if he missed Gio, his girlfriend, he could go to Aussie, he said. And Evan, he totally agrees with his cousin.

Then, what about David and Aleric? Neither of them were told, especially Aleric. Didn't Gio take Gabriel to Aussie to keep him away from Aleric, as well as to make Gabriel get Aleric. Then why wasn't David told? The reason is, they don't want David to tell Aleric if he's in Aussie.

But Gio told Jennie that he would move with Gabriel to Aussie. Because Gio knows very well, Jennie is also very worried about Gabriel. And it turns out that Jennie is just as supportive of Gio's decision.

"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Evan asked Gio who had just come from the rector's room.

"Yes. The sooner the better. I don't want to see Iel keep gloomy."

"What time is the flight?"

"6:00 am."

They walked hand in hand towards the university parking.

"All right, I'll just stay at your house later. Tomorrow morning I will drop you off." Will Alvin also take you to the airport??"

"Yes, he will come to pick us up tomorrow morning with Jennie." Gio said to his car.

"Alright, after study hours are over I'll come home." Evan said.

Gio just nodded then got into his car, he immediately drove his car home. Today everything that has to be prepared has been completed, even all the clothes and items they will bring tomorrow are ready, just waiting for them tomorrow. Gio hopes that the new atmosphere will make Gabriel feel better.
