Although Angel was so embarrassed and hated him, Hendra was never sad. Hendra became a child with special needs due to a small amount of illness. Even so, he remained faithful to give an older brother love to his sister. Because he has a brother who has mental retardation, Angel is often ridiculed by his friends "the idiot".
