Addiction to Mother Step

Thought it was a dream

The clock continues to spin, time seems to roll so fast, not felt now the time has shown at 01.20 in the morning. Rena suddenly jerked from her sleep because she felt cold, also felt her throat when it felt dry.

"Haiss, it's cold." Her shirt while rubbing both of her palms.

Without a second thought, Rena rushed out of her room to grab a drink, which had been her habit for a long time. But Rena's steps immediately stopped when she was just not far from the door of her room when she found Nio who seemed to be delirious.

"Why?? Why does it have to be like this? Why??" Nio muttered as if looking trembling.

"What's wrong with her? Is he having nightmares?" Rena asked in her heart as she began to slowly approach Nio.

At that time Nio's forehead even seemed to sweat which even though the night air felt so cold, it immediately made Rena a little surprised.

"Ti, no!! No more, no! That's enough, already!" Nio muttered again who continued to shake his head but with both eyes that still seemed closed.

Rena who was feeling anxious immediately squatted on Nio's side while holding both cheeks.

"Nio, heii," call Rena.

"No, no, no, no, no!!!!" Peeking Nio who then immediately gasped with his breath that looked so breathless.

"You're having nightmares??" Asked Rena who looked increasingly anxious.

But Nio, completely unable to take out a word at that time, his face looked pale, his breathing was still so breathless and sweat that seemed to wet his forehead. Nio really looks like a fear, making Rena feel more anxious so without a second thought trying to calm Nio.

"It's ok, it's ok, you're just a nightmare." Rena said softly as she started rubbing Nio's forehead which was wet with sweat.

But Nio still could not say a word, so without a doubt Rena just sat on the sofa, then lay down on Nio's side.

"Come here, I'm here, don't be afraid." Rena said slowly.

With a face that still seemed a little afraid mixed with sadness, Nio immediately embraced Rena who was lying next to him.

Rena could only stay still and continued to rub Nio's arm to make it calmer. Nio closed his eyes again while resting his head on Rena's shoulders.

"Thank you." Nio said at last in a voice so soft.

"Together." Answer Rena.

"Thank you for being here, it feels so comfortable." Said Nio again who at that time kept his eyes closed.

"really?"

"I miss this."

Hearing that, immediately made Rena become silent for a moment with a sudden heartbeat so beating great.

"Ak, me too." Rena replied a little hesitantly as she said it.

Nio was back in silence and even more tightened his embrace, miraculously, the air was so cold, suddenly felt so warm to Rena.

"What feeling is this? Didn't I forget about it? But why am I still pounding when she hugs me?" Mumbled Rena in the heart.

"Does that mean I haven't really forgotten it? Does that mean I still love him?" Added again.

A few hours passed, Rena finally regained her jolt after falling asleep for a while in Nio's warm embrace. He also glanced at the face of Nio who was right at his side, at that time Nio seemed to fall asleep, his face really looked so innocent when he fell asleep, and he was still asleep, and that includes the part that Rena likes the most.

Unknowingly, Rena also began to smile thinly when looking at Nio's face, slowly one hand began to caress gently Nio's cheeks, it was clear if he really missed the man who used to be so united. But it only happened for a while, before Rena finally regained her senses and kept her hands away from Nio's face.

"It's very clear that if her attitude has changed for me, it feels cold, it indicates that she already has no taste for me anymore, what more do I expect from her?! Our relationship is long over." Rena muttered again which then slowly began to rise from her sleep.

With a sad face, Rena again looked at Nio's face for a moment, then began to cover it again, and then he went to the kitchen to drink, and then he went to the kitchen to drink, then finally back into his room with a mixed feeling.

A bright morning...

That morning Nio gasped from his sleep when he heard a voice from the kitchen not far from the sofa where he fell asleep. It turned out that the sound was sourced from Zayden who appeared to be cooking breakfast.

"Morning." Sapa Zayden calmly looked at Nio who started sitting on the sofa.

"What are you doing?"

"Me?? What do you think I'm doing? Do I look like I'm playing marbles right now??" Zayden replied with a smile.

Nio just grunted quietly while smiling.

"How did you sleep? Does sound good?" Ask Zayden again.

"It's pretty good, but it looks like I had a nightmare last night."

"Oh yeah? What dreams?" Zayden asked calmly as he continued cooking.

"Let's know, the dream is so hard to explain" replied Nio who was trying to remember the contents of the dream.

But suddenly Nio again remembered the incident where Rena came to him,.

"Is that a dream too? But why does it feel so real? Hmm but there's no way that's happening, I guess right, it's just a dream." Nio murmured in the heart.

"But after that, I think I had a good dream too."

"Great dream? Hmm do you dream of an angel descending from the heaven? Haha." Guru Zayden's.

"Yes, it seems I did dream of an angel."

"Wahh, may the angel in your dream really come to the real world to warm your frozen heart back hehehe." Said Zayden again who seemed to be mocking his best friend.

Nio again could only smile while grunting softly. Before long, Rena was seen coming out of her room with her wet hair, clearly visible if she had just finished bathing.

"Morning." Say hello to Rena slowly while smiling faintly at Zayden, then started to look at Nio with a little hesitation.

"Hey Na, morning." Zayden replied with a smile.

Nio who saw that, could only be made dumbfounded while unconsciously starting to swallow his own saliva. How not, Rena's hair that decomposes in a wet state, always managed to make Nio fascinated since long ago, and now it is still the same.

"What are you cooking Zay? It smells so good." Rena asked as she began to step calmly towards the kitchen and passed by Nio who was still silent looking at her with his face still flat.

And again, the smell of the body of Rena who smelled vanilla felt real into the nasal cavity Nio until again disturbing the peace of Nio's soul, the body scent that used to be the most preferred scent by Nio, Nio, now it can be snorted back by him.

"I'm cooking sirloin steak, it's definitely delicious because the cook is a chef from a five-star restaurant hehehe." Answer Zayden.

"Well, isn't it an honor to enjoy a chef's cooking for free." Rena is smiling too.

"Yes yes, this time I let it free, but next time, I will charge a high cost hahaha." Zayden also chuckled, as well as Rena who also smiled widely.

But not with Nio who at that time seemed silent, he was silent because he was grappling with all kinds of thoughts and feelings that were again disturbed by the presence of Rena which is really very difficult to ignore its existence.
