"Then where did my other eleven brothers go? Why don't they fall with me to you guys?" a question asked by a seven-year-old child at that time, made Emely instantly jolted, she was surprised and never thought of it getting there, which of course made her now look at Elizabeth in shock.
"Why Mommy?? why do you look surprised?" an innocent question that was asked by Elizabeth at that time made Emely exhale as if she now felt that she must immediately talk to her husband John about the questions asked by Elizabeth that night.
Rings… rings… rings…
John's gaze, who was driving at that time, now turned his gaze to look at his cell phone, which had just rung, and he believed that his wife Emely had called him at that time. Casually, he grabbed the phone and pressed the receipt, and then turned up the speaker so that he could concentrate at the same time.
"Yeah, honey?" John asked Emely who now said,
"John… can you come home early tonight?" The question asked by Emely at that time, made John chuckle and then said,
"Hahahaha you know I came home early today, I'm on my way there, what's wrong?" John's words that were originally smiling now became serious when he realized that his wife had never said that to him if it wasn't something urgent,
"Just go home… I was waiting for you!" said Emely who then immediately closed their connection, which made John exhale and then nod his head quickly and immediately drove the car so that he quickly got home and met Emely.
What happened?? Was Elizabeth sick again like that time? Or is there something even worse? John's feeling was getting worse and worse the longer he thought about it, but he couldn't jump to conclusions, which in the end he tried to be as calm as possible and get to their house as soon as possible that night.
…
Ckiit!
The car stopped right in front of the Cooper family's house, and at that moment John, who had just stopped the car he was driving, just got out of the car and walked quickly to his house.
He quickly opened the door of the house and was surprised to find Emely who was now walking with a cup of chamomile tea in her hand, even not only that, the clothes she was wearing looked normal, like someone who would not go to the hospital or anywhere. And that certainly produced a question mark inside for John at this point.
"Hh… hh… what happened?!" John asked Emely who was now frowning feeling like she didn't understand what her husband was saying, but seconds later she smiled when she found that her husband was worried when he got a call from her at that time.
"Ah… don't worry John, everything is fine… Lizbeth is sleeping now!" explained Emely, which of course made her husband now frown again in response to that, he didn't understand at that time,
"Then why did you call me earlier?" John asked Emely who was now looking at him and then said,
"We have things to talk about… and this concerns Lizbeth!" Emely explained to him, who was now frowning before finally walking over to his wife and sitting right in front of her now,
"What is it? What happened?" asked John now starting to ask in a calm and gentle tone to Emely who is now starting to tell about the questions that Elizabeth asked him that night.
"Earlier… when I was about to put Lizbeth to sleep, as usual, I was going to tell her about how she came into our family, John!" Emely explained to John who was still looking at Emely's eyes then John nodded his head in response,
"Then?" asked John and made Emely go back to her story,
"After the story was over, he asked about another star who was the same as him, he asked why he was the only one turning towards us and where were the others? Isn't that something we should be asking too, John?? are they the same as Lizbeth? Where are they now?" Emely asked John who was now frowning realizing that too, but he exhaled while thinking positively at that time,
"Maybe… some people are going through the same thing as us, Emely, maybe the twelve stars were dropped to give them gifts!" John explained to Emely who nodded in understanding with what John expected and explained to him, but he was worried and said to John again,
"I understand John… but, how can I tell Lizbeth this? He looked really curious at that time!" Emely explained to John who was now nodding his head before John finally said,
"Then let me explain everything to him! Do you have the necklace in his hand?" a question that John to Emely also made him now nod his head and then say,
"I keep it in my jewelry nightstand, John!" said Emely to John who now nodded his head again and then said,
"Give it to me, so I can explain it to him later!" John explained to Emely who frowned in response, but when he felt that his husband could be relied on, in the end, he smiled and nodded his head in response.
…
The autumn moon at that time was replaced by the sun shining brightly in the morning that came along with a cool breeze, and that morning Elizabeth woke up from her sleep and smiled cheerfully at the beautiful morning.
He sat up from his lying position to then do a little stretching and immediately got off the bed to wash his face and change into beautiful clothes.
Tap… tap… tap… tap…
With cheerful steps, he immediately descended the stairs to finally greet with enthusiasm his father and mother who were already in the dining room at that time.
"Mommy, Daddy… Good Morning!" that was the cheerful greeting that Elizabeth said to both of them who were now looking at Elizabeth at the same time before finally smiling happily and greeting her back,
"Hi, Sweetie… how did you sleep last night?" a question that was asked by John at that time made him smile and immediately hugged his father very happy there,
"Daddy!! I am very happy because last night I met my friend!" Elizabeth said to the two, which of course made both of them look at each other quickly before John finally smiled and nodded his head,
" Oh yes? What did he say? What were you two doing then?" John asked Elizabeth who now shook her head and straightened something out by saying,
"No Father… not just one, but all of them!" said Elizabeth which of course surprised both of them,
"Oh… yeah… what are you all doing?" asked John confirming the question posed by him to Elizabeth who was now reaching for the cereal box there while shrugging her shoulders as she said,
"We didn't do anything… but one of them said that we should meet when we get to earth! Dad.. this is earth right?? does that mean I have to meet them soon?" Elizabeth asked the Father which made John now frown and then humming thought for a moment, before finally nodding his head and saying,
"Yeah… I think you should meet!" John explained to Elizabeth who looked happy again, but not Emely who looked surprised to hear the words of her husband who now realized the shocked look, before finally speaking again,
"But… I don't think this is the time for you to meet… Lizbeth!" said John to Elizabeth who was now frowning upon hearing this,
"Why isn't it time Daddy?" Elizabeth asked the father who now got up from his seat and approached Elizabeth before finally crouching in front of his daughter and saying,
"You have to grow up, be a good and smart person… after that, you can start looking for them and meet all of them!" John explained to Elizabeth, who didn't seem to understand this,
"Why did I have to be like that in the first place, Father?" Elizabeth asked, which made John smile again and say again,
"Because I think you were sent to earth to be someone smart and kind… so that afterward you can help and love each other… you know…. you as well as your eleven brothers are special people?" asked John back to Elizabeth, to which Elizabeth immediately nodded her head in response,
"And a special person is a really special person … and being smart and kind is a special thing! So… you have to grow up well, to be special in the eyes of everyone including your brothers… you understand Lizbeth?" asked John the father, which made Elizabeth look at him and nod her head in answer to the question.
"Yes, dad… Lizbeth wants to be special in everyone's eyes!" said Elizabeth, which made John smile happily at that. John stood up from his position and immediately took something from his trouser pocket and then put something around the neck of Elizabeth, who was now surprised to see it.
