“What? So you want to let me die rotting here? Why daddy's heart? I ‘kan son father. That's supposed to be Angel's law dad! Besides all this time who often dads law him,”
“Because you are outrageous! I asked you to make some food, but you left. You brat! Unreliable in any case. Much better Angel,”
Gesty was flabbergasted at the words of her father. After he had been confined for hours in a small room, he now wanted his father to praise Angel. Gesty's heart is really hot. He was compared to his half-brother. Until anytime He will not be willing to compare because it is clearly much better than Angel.
“Dad don't compare me to Angel! We are both different! I'm better at everything than he is! Dad doesn't usually praise him like that. What was? Daddy needs more money from him so praise?! Yes?!”
One slap landed smoothly on Gesty's cheek to the right. Gesty immediately grimaced as she touched her own cheeks while looking at her father with a blaze of anger that was so visible in her eyes.
“Dad talk as is. Compared to you, Angel is more reliable than you who can't do anything! He never denied dad! What I'm talking about is a fact, you can judge it,”
The grieving Gesty was not happy to land her father again exalting Angel, and humbling him. His hatred for Angel became more and more.
“Oh so because now have a rich daughter-in-law, Dad defended Angel? Will you love Angel? Amazing, I just met a father like this this this time,”
“Sup to you, Gesty. What is clear is that I am speaking the truth. She never denied dad, she could be relied upon to cook and do everything in this house, while you're the opposite,”
“Yes, she deserves to be a maid, if I certainly don't,” after saying cynically demeaning Angel, Gesty immediately rushed to her room.
Gesty could not speak to her father any longer because he could not bring more praise to Angel than his father.
As soon as he arrived at the room, Gesty immediately dusted his bed. Pillows, blankets thrown by Gesty to vent the burning anger now.
“Angel shit! Less fortunate than you?! Now dad's defending you! Even people who have been mean to you, praise you, Angel! And you shouldn't deserve that!”
Because the pillow that Gesty threw targeted the dressing table and caused some products owned to fall until the sound of his out of the room, finally the father came.
“What do you do, Gesty?!”
“Daddy quiet! I didn't ask you to come here let alone talk! Dad don't have to interfere. Out of my room now,”
“Don't be crazy! At least if it can't be useful, don't be crazy like this,”

“You why don't you sleep? Not really sleepy? It's two o'clock in the evening,” Andrean asked his wife who he saw was staring blankly at the ceiling of the room. Andrean awoke to urinate, but he found his wife awake too.
“I woke up, and now can't sleep anymore,”
Instead of going to the bathroom, Andrean hugged his wife tightly and rubbed her back.
“Come, I'll put you to sleep again,”
“Can't, I tried it myself. Why did you wake up?”
“I want to pee,”
Angel immediately released her husband's embrace. It's nothing, Andrean himself said that he wanted to pee, but strangely Andrean hugged him instead. It was strange, should Andrean go straight to the bathroom only, not delay.
“Why take off my arms? Are you bothered that I hug you? Or are you disgusted, Angel?”
Angel shook her head quickly. She did not understand why her husband even thought he was disturbed, even the most unpredictable, Andrean thought that he was disgusting.
“Where might I be disgusted at my own husband? How could I be bothered hugging you? It's true to talk, Ean,”
“Terus why did you take off my arms? Meaning something is bothering you ‘kan?”
“I should ask why you hugged me? Didn't you just say that you woke up to pee. So you're supposed to go to the bathroom right now, instead of hugging me, Ean,”
“It's okay, I want to help you to sleep again, Honey,” Andrean said as he grabbed his wife's shoulder so he could hug again but Angel shook his head.
“Later can also. Now go to the bathroom first, don't torment yourself for the sake of I can't? Withholding urination it can cause disease, you often hear about it ‘kan?”
Andrean let out a rough breath and sat down. He wouldn't be able to hug his wife if he didn't go to the bathroom right now.
“Well, finally to the bathroom too. Supposedly from earlier, because the purpose of you woke up ‘kan to urinate, you even hug me,”
“Because I want you back to sleep, and I'm helping you. But it turns out you refused,” said Andrean with an annoyed tone at the end of his sentence and it can be found by Angel who is now laughing.
“I'm sorry. Not that I'm resisting, Ean. But I don't want you to get sick, you understand ‘kan? You can be nice to me but don't overdo it, don't torture yourself,”
“You didn't torture me, Honey,”
Andrean closed the bathroom door and disappeared inside. Angel smiled to see her husband had now completed what was the cause of her waking up from her sleep.
Angel covered her whole body with a blanket maybe it could invite her drowsiness again.
“Angel, why are you covering your whole body from foot to head? Can you breathe?”
Andrean had just come from the bathroom to pee and he was astonished to see his wife deliberately covered his entire body, there was nothing left even a face.
“I want to sleep again, maybe this way I can go back to sleep,”
Andrean clucked slowly. Andrean thinks it's not like that. Usually, if he has trouble falling asleep, he never covers his entire body. Most of what He did was to keep his eyes closed even though the drowsiness had not yet come. Later too long to fall asleep unconsciously, and wake up tomorrow morning.
“It doesn't need to be like that, Angel. Just close your eyes, sleep later, trust me because I'm like that a lot,”
“So already, but I still can't sleep anymore. Is it possible because I am satisfied to sleep? So no more drowsiness,”
Andrean grabbed his wife and then he used his hand to wipe the back of Angel's head. Maybe with what he did it can make Angel sleep.
“Calm down, don't think about anything, and try to close your eyes, if you can imagine the beautiful until finally you are interested in approaching the beautiful thing in the dream realm,”
“You really are like a teacher who is his student's child yes,” Angel said with a laugh and Andrean needs to look down a little so he can look at his wife. Because Angel's head is right on her chest.
“You mocked me?”
“No-no, I was amazed. You seem to be trying so hard for me to sleep,”
“Because I don't want my wife to get less rest. Come on, sleep, don't let me fuck you yeah,”
“Andrean! What did you just say? Gosh, I didn't think your mouth could say—-hmppp,”
Angel could no longer continue her words because her husband directly**** her lips. And the time it took Andrean to pamper their lips was quite a long time around two minutes. It would have continued had Angel not summed up her husband's cheeks and pushed him carefully, with no intention of making him feel offended.
“Okay, Darling. Now we sleep yes,” Andrean said after the link of their lips both ended.
Angel nodded her head and closed her eyes. Angel tried to reduce, even eliminate the nervousness that attacked him every time Andrean was friendly like before, suddenly kissed. His heart rate must always be a mess if Andrean had acted.
About thirty minutes they were both silent. Angel enjoyed a touch back in his head from Andrean who also enjoyed his role now that of angler so that Angel back to sleep.
Until finally Angel managed to fall asleep soundly. His cheeks fell weakly on Andrean's chest, who was immediately relieved to know that his wife had fallen asleep.
“I don't want you to lack rest, Angel. You should not wake up early like this,” whispered Andrean while closing his eyes, wanting to go into the dream just like his wife.
But his intention was to fail because there was a clinking sound from Angel's phone. Andrean who was curious who the figure who contacted his wife these nights finally did not stay silent. Andrean immediately put away Angel's hand which was right on his stomach, and he also removed Angel's head from his head very carefully so that Angel did not feel disturbed. Just sleeping, do not let Angel awake again. It is certain that it is increasingly difficult for the woman to fall back asleep.
After reaching for his wife's phone and finding a message coming in, Andrean immediately opened the message that turned out to be from Gesty. Andrean's jaw hardened when he read it.
he became a lucky fool. Now again enjoy a comfortable room, a comfortable mattress, and of course a calm mind because everything is fulfilled. While I have to be locked up by my father in a room that I don't think is comfortable for me! Angel, I swear your life won't be happy forever huh-
“Jeez, why is Gesty still always bothering Angel? What's wrong with Angel? Why would she hate that much for Angel? Though what I saw with my own eyes, Angel figure extraordinary sister,”
Andrean immediately blocked Angel's number so that there was no more access for Angel to harass his wife and he hoped his wife did not cancel the block.
********
“DAD QUICKLY GET ME OUT OF THIS ROOM!”
Gesty shouted while banging on the door of the room whose function is to store unused items.
He did not accept when his father immediately locked him in the room as punishment for leaving when the father asked to make food, plus Gesty came home almost morning.
“FATHER OPEN THIS ROOM DOOR NOW!”
When tired, the Gesty would stop, and after feeling strong enough to shout, the Gesty would shout so that her father would open the door to the room where He now dwelt.
“Once you need to be punished,”
Gesty still remembered her father talking like that shortly after he was pushed to fall and then the father came out of the room that was very small and after that the door was immediately locked.
“AYAH!”
Gesty cried in the end. He did not know who to complain to now, he was tired of screaming, annoyed at his father. All these feelings were mixed and eventually made Him cry.
“Damn it! It should be Angel here! Not me! Why should I be punished?! Usually he is too! Dad's really outrageous. He thinks he can make me Angel's replacement?! Huh?”
Gesty kicked at the room door with anger that had already reached at the end of her head.
After that he wiped his tears violently.
When He is faced with such a situation, He will certainly not forget his half-brother. Where according to Gesty, it should be Angel who is in his current position, should Angel who is punished by being locked in a small room, not him who should feel this all.
“Damn it! This is not my place! Why am I being punished?! It shouldn't be me! I'm a kid who doesn't deserve any punishment,”

“Adrian, please fix my laptop first!”
“It is not damaged, just being slow, ‘kan is the same as the owner, slow in everything, after all the laptop is problematic continue yes like,”
“Dian! You really are,”
“I have a live broadcast, so hurry,” Adrian said without looking back at his sister who immediately acted pretending to cry because he was sure Adrian would stop his steps.
“Why are you so mean to me? You should help me first, why is my laptop so slow? Huwaaaa you're evil to me, Ian. You're outrageous, unwilling to help your own sister,”
Adrian stopped his steps but still turned his back on Auristella. He took a deep breath, trying to patiently face his sister when he had to do his job immediately today. He was invited to guest star at an event that would be broadcast live.
“Jeez, I have to be patient, hold on, don't get emotional. Your sister is a bitch, Adrian. Calm down, face it with a smile,” murmured Adrian still did not turn his heels and walked towards Auristella who was still pretending to cry and was very happy when she saw her brother not so go. In his heart Auristella laughed with satisfaction.
“Hahahaha I work for you,” Inner Auristella.
Adrian approached his sister and without saying anything directly check what was wrong from his sister's laptop which he said turned slow and Adrian himself jyga did not know slow in what things.
“This network is like,”
“Ya fixed it. But that's me just typing the task material why the old keyboard too? Usually no,”
“Could object,”
“What weight anyway? Did I give him a burden, Ian? Hmm?”
“Yes too much content, so her work slowed down. Request new buy on Daddy, I support,”
Auristella immediately slapped the arm of her second brother who kindly told her to ask Devan to buy a morning laptop. Both of his parents were not stingy, but that does not mean he can use it.
“What's wrong? Must've allowed Daddy, he's a lot of money,”
“How about you? I'm asking you for money, to buy me a laptop,”
“Nothing, for marriage capital, future capital,” Adrian said with ketus. Once again Auristella slapped her brother's arm.
“You guys just take off my hand, Auris, don't take the responsibility of just being hit,”
Auristella could not help but laugh at Adrian's words that were already too upset. Being helped is even hurt.
His sister was really provoking emotions.
“Captain money for me. I'll buy you a laptop, I promise,”
“Begging Daddy, the money is a lot, or ask Mommy because Mommy jyga does not lose a lot of money,”
“No, later they were confused why I suddenly asked for money,”
“Ya tell them you need a new laptop,”
“But what will they give it? They know my laptop is fine,”
“If they see your laptop really has to be replaced, there's no way they'll just shut up,”
“But this is not broken, this is just a minute error ‘kan?”
Adrian shrugged both shoulders. He had tried to connect the internet network on Auristella's laptop but not connected as well. He saw the internet on his phone was fine.
“Try seeing on your phone, Wifi not connected?”
Auristella immediately checked the network on her own phone and she nodded. “Iya, connect. The network is fine but why isn't my laptop?”
“Yes therefore ask to buy a new one,“
“You didn't teach me to spend Daddy and Mommy's money yeah!“
Adrian was surprised to hear his sister's words. Adrian thinks he'll call Devan for money to buy a new laptop.
“Daddymu much money. Just send the money to me, I'll find a good one,”
“No need! I can buy it myself. Later if you hold the money, you buy a used laptop for me,”
“Hahahaha you know my intentions,”
“Errghhh outrageous!”
“No-no, I'm kidding. I found a good one, seriously,”
“I can't believe,”
Auristella now pinched Adrian's arm which immediately exclaimed in pain. Auristella if you have issued a fatal pinch, can immediately make Adrian lift his hand jarena really-bsnar leave pain in the skin.
“Kasian who becomes your husband later yes. It may not be a week you become his wife, his body is blue-blue because you pinch,”
“You're overreacting. More kasian who will be your wife later. Every day have to face an obscure man like you, Ian,”
*******
Angel frowned when she found out her sister's number was blocked when she never did that. Instantly she immediately had a suspicion that the one who had blocked nonor the older brother was her husband. Angel immediately canceled the blockage and then sighed softly.
Andrean came out of the bathroom with a fresh appearance because he had taken a shower. Then the food came to their room. This morning they decided to have breakfast in the room.
“Let's eat, Ean,” invites Angel to her husband who is currently combing hair in front of the mirror. Andrean nodded his head then walked to the sofa of the room.
They both ate on the sofa facing the window that had been opened along with the balcony door so that fresh air could be felt immediately.
“I managed to put you back to sleep last night, Angel,”
“Yes, thank you for your help. If I hadn't been hugged by you, I don't think I would have slept until this morning because I'm the kind of person who would have trouble sleeping when I woke up,”
“No need to thank you, Honey. I just don't want you to lack rest, I don't want you to be exhausted, colonized, I don't want you to feel distracted, all that don't get to happen,”
From the words of Andrean just now, who seems to be offending something, it seems there is something done by Gesty that Andrean thinks can disturb Angel. His number was blocked by Andrean.
“Hey why are you looking at me like that? What do you think of me?” Asked Andrean who had started to enjoy his breakfast while the wife instead looked at him in silence.
Angel immediately blinked her eyes when reprimanded by her husband. He was guessing whether Andrean was blocking his brother's number? Because what He remembers, He never did.
“Why, Angel?”
Angel shook her head with a smile and started eating her breakfast as well.
“You okay?” Ask Andrean who will not be able to calm down if he has seen his wife is not focused.
“Yes, but there's something I want to ask you, do you mind or don't answer my question?”
“No, what do you want to ask, dear? Just ask, no one is harbored, no good. We're married, and communication in a marriage is really very important,”
“You blocked my sister's number huh, Ean?” Angel asked cautiously and grimaced. Actually it is not nice to ask about it, but he wants to know if Andrean did it, what is the reason that Andrean acted like that. Because it's not just once Andrean did it.
Andrean exhaled a rough breath and then sipped some drinking water before answering his wife's question. Angel observes her husband who seems not to mind to answer, because after drinking Andrean directly opened his mouth to give an answer “Iya, I have blocked your sister's number,”
“Why? I can know no? I never did, because I didn't want to lose communication with my brother or father after I got married,”
Andrean immediately grabbed his wife's hand and held it tightly. He looked at his wife deeply and looked at Angel seriously.
“Darling, I did it there was a purpose, of course. And I'm sure you've guessed my answer,” said Andrean who did not want his wife to misunderstand.
“What did you send to me and you saw it? Does that piss you off?”
“Oh of course, so I blocked her number directly. So I have a reason, honey. I was annoyed when he bullied you, and it was my purpose to block his number so that he would not have access to harass you. If left continuously, he could get worse at you,”
“Tapi—“
“Do not think about it. He does deserve to be blocked his number, even he himself deserves to be blocked from your life,”
“But I have no one but father and brother, I love them. What if they want to call me and suddenly but can't because it blocked the number,”
“They contacted you what destination? Want to make sure you're okay? Wanna ask some news? No ‘kan? Try to answer what they say if they contact you?”
Angel looked down, what her husband said was right. If they call him, there's no such thing as asking for news, they never make sure he's okay. There are those who ask and ask. Actually it doesn't matter to Angel because Angel knows the results of his hard work are for them as well. So He was willing to work again to get money so that He could still support his father and brother. But what makes Angel sad, sometimes they force it to not understand how it is now. He was indeed fulfilled by Andrean, but he could not behave as well as heart with all that Andrean gave for him.
“Rather than they make you hurt, sad, better just block their contacts. That way your life will be quiet, without being disturbed by them, Angel,”
“But I can't really leave them because they need me, Ean,”
Andrean massaged the base of his nose. He really doesn't understand why his wife is this good. Indeed his father and brother are family to Angel but if evil, it is natural that Angel is disappointed and choose to keep a distance from his heart constantly hurt. But what happened was that Angel opened access for them to behave as they pleased. Angel always pretended to be strong and that upset Andrean.
“You do not need to leave them, you just need to keep your distance, you can be good, but do not forget to prioritize your own feelings,”
Andrean rubbed Angel's cheek gently after which continued to enjoy his breakfast. Andrean expects his wife to understand why he arrived such a fool that might be a bad impression, but Andrean only wants to keep his wife from any bad thing.
********
“Dad, I'm hungry, open the door to this fucking room! I don't want to be here much longer, open the door dad!”
It was already noon even late in the afternoon but there was no sign the door of the room would be opened while Gesty was already completely uncomfortable anymore confined there. His stomach was hungry, and his throat was also dry. Again he was locked up because of his own attitude.
Not long after He said that, suddenly the door of the room was opened by the father and it made Gesty happy amazingly.
But that doesn't mean he's no longer upset with his father. As soon as they faced each other, Gesty threw her sharp gaze.
“Daddy is really outrageous! I shouldn't deserve any punishment!“
“Hey you heard ya!”
Gesty gasped in shock as her father gripped his chin quite firmly, while returning his sharp gaze.
“You should be grateful you got him out of here. If only Dad could, you'd let me die rotting here. Don't be rude to me, if you don't want this to happen again. Understand you?!”
*****
“I'm sure Angel likes,”
“Ya, hopefully. Thanks for helping me,”
Andrean reached out to shake hands with his confidant, Abraham. The man is always reliable. Not in vain Andrean directly said his good intentions to Abraham.
“Hopefully after Angel is close to my supervision, there is nothing else to bother Angel. I want my wife's life to be quiet,”
Andrean looked at his watch. Soon it was time for Angel to come home, so she had to go to the cafe where Angel worked as a waiter.
“I go first, once again thank you,”
Abraham smiled and nodded his head. Abraham smiled at Andrean's departure. He was amazed at the man. It seemed cold, indifferent to anything, but it was very loving to his wife. Knowing that the Wife has a strong desire to do activities outside the home, produce something, Andrean took the initiative to open a cafe where Angel will play the role of the owner later.
“He loves his wife so much and I salute him. Outside it looks hard, cold, but inside it is so loving to the wife. Andrean..Andrean.I'm amazed at the way you love Angel. Without much talk directly carry out the intention aimed for the good of his wife,”
*******
“Angel, two more days come to my birthday party huh. I beg you to come so we can have fun together,”
Angel smiled to get an invitation through oral to attend an event that was none other than the birthday of Gaby, a fellow worker.
“Okay I'm coming. Thanks for the invitation, Gab,”
“Yes, now you want to go home? Let me drive you home,”
“Hmm next time yes, Gab. I'm waiting to be picked up,”
“Oh picked up your husband? Okay it's okay, then I go home by myself,”
“Yes, thanks for the offer. You be careful on the road yes,”
“Don't forget to come!”
Angel laughed hearing Gaby speak firmly. For Gaby to calm down and to assert, Angel immediately behaved respectfully.
“Ready, I will not forget your invitation,”
Gaby has launched a motorcycle after saying goodbye and conveying an invitation to her birthday to her friend.
While Angel was still waiting for her husband, Gaby had come to pick her up shortly after. Angel smiled cheerfully. As soon as the car stopped, she got in the car and greeted her husband.
“Hai, Ean,”
“Hai, Angelku. All safe today?”
“Aman, just relax,”
“Okay, no more terror terror terrorizing ‘kan, Darling?”
“Nothing, all safely under control. Thanks for the attention. You always want to make sure I'm okay,”
“Sure, I don't want anything to happen to you. All I'll do to make sure you're safe, you're fine,”
“Including coming to my house and scolding Dad, Ean?”
Andrean who was about to drive his car left the cafe Angel immediately thwarted his intention.
Andrean immediately turned to his side, and looked at Angel who was now smiling looking at him. Angel already knew that he had come to his house, but something was wrong with Angel's words. Andrean felt it was important to straighten out the misunderstanding that must have been made by his father or brother Angel.
“Darling, you misunderstood. I didn't come there to be angry, trust me,”
“Tapi—“
“What did they tell you? Hm? After threatening you, forcing you to give them what they want, now they are trying to make our relationship ruined huh?”
“No-no, it's not. I'm just asking you, Ean,”
“You are no longer asking. You know everything, and it's from them. I'm sure they must have told you that I came to the house ‘ right? And they must have told you that I was angry when in fact the purpose I came there to warn them again so they would stop tormenting your mind, Angel. I'm not angry! You don't trust them. Don't want our relationship to be messed up by anyone. Really I can at least if you misunderstand me, trust me, Angel, I'm not mad at them, and I came to the same goal for you, honey, too,” clearly Andrean while grasping Angel's hand so tightly.
Angel smiled and nodded her head. He knows Andrean came to his house because he has a good goal, so he does not blame Andrean.
“I don't assume that you're wrong, Ean. I'm just asking, did you come to the house and get angry or not? After getting your answer, I get it and I trust you,”
“No, they don't bother me,”
“I hope also that terror does not come again,”
“Iya, hopefully,”
“I'm afraid they're bothering you again, and I'm afraid that terror is coming again for you,”
“No, hopefully not,”
“On the terror, I honestly still wonder who sent it. I haven't met the identity of the bad guy,”
“Not to be searched, just let him do what he wants to do. I don't care anymore,”
“How could you not care, Angel? You alone are still haunted by the fear of that terror,”
“I'll try not to be afraid anymore, Ean. I promise you, as long as you don't have to find out who did it. Not important, later he even happy if sought,”
Hearing Angel's request that He wanted to stop finding out who was the perpetrator of the terror that He received.
“You know about the perpetrator of the terror yes, Darling?”
“Hm? No, I don't know who's terrorizing me. If I had known, I would have told you,”
“While in my opinion. You should have supported me to find out who did it but you told me to stop looking. That's why I think you know who did it,”
“No-no, I don't know anything, Ean,” said Angel who immediately panicked to hear her husband's words. Andrean seems suspicious that he already knows who the perpetrator of terror is for ya. He knows, but there's no way he's telling Andrean. Andrean's reaction would have been furious. Andrean could come back to his house and teach his father a lesson.
“But I wonder who sent that terror. Why could he be so bad to you. I really don't think, Honey,”
“Not to be curious anymore. The more sought, the more pleased he is to act. Already, let it be. You don't have to look for him anymore. I'm doing fine. I won't be afraid anymore, you calm down yeah,”
“Okay if indeed you forbid me to find out again who did it. But I hope the terror doesn't come again. Because if I come again, I'll keep finding out who did it let me teach him a lesson,”
“Jeez, no need, Ean. Let it be, he who can sin, he who can be recompensed. Don't you have to find out,”
*******
“Do not! Don't accept,”
“Dear Lord, please do not give anything to my sister Angel if the name of the sender is unclear, because Angel never get terror,”
Auristella had just arrived at her residence. And he immediately met with a freight forwarder who was talking to the security of his home, the man asked that security would accept the goods he delivered because it was his duty.
“But I was assigned to deliver this. And the recipient's name is Angel,”
“Okay, what is the name of the sender? Please mention now, if need photos of the person,”
Auristella does not want the events that Angel has experienced to repeat. He did not have the heart when Angel had to be afraid to get the terror.
“If you can't tell me what the name of the sender is, how his face is, sorry I refused the shipment,”
The warning from Auristella managed to get the man off on his bike. The man drove away quickly leaving Auristella who was smiling obliquely and bobbing her head.
“I have indeed rejected it, Miss,” said Jhon.
“Yes, I helped to reject it. We need to be smarter about people with bad intentions. It's good he wants to freak Angel out again. I'm sure in the box he's carrying there's something that's freaking Angel out again. Anyway anyone in this house do not carelessly accept something yes, especially for Angel because he is in an unsafe situation now. Someone has bad intentions on Angel,”
“Ready, Miss,”
“Talk my words earlier to all those who are on guard yes, thank you,”
After saying that Auristella stepped into her house and was greeted by Lovi and Devan who had not told anyone that Devan had finished his work in Japan sooner than planned. Devan and Lovi go straight home without telling their children so it becomes a surprise.
“Wow Mommy and Daddy are home. Why didn't you tell me to go home now?”
“Conveniently to surprise, Darling. Hows it? You're surprised ‘kan?”
“Clearly, Mom. I was so surprised. I thought you guys weren't home today,”
“Newly you who are surprised and seem happy Mommy and Daddy have come home, your three brothers have not,”
“I'm sure they will also be very happy, will be surprised. They miss you too, Mom, Dad. Just like I missed you guys. It was a long time ago, but not for a week. But like a year apart with you guys,”
“Hahahah, you're overreacting, honey. Is that missed?”
Devan kissed his daughter's forehead and hugged Auristella tightly. Auristella really seemed to miss the embrace of her father who had been so fond of her, considered her a queen, considered her a diamond that needed to be cared for so well.
“How is the atmosphere at home? Everything safe, Honey?”
“Friendly, Mom,”
“No problem?”
“No,”
“No fights ‘kan as long as Daddy and Mommy go?”
“Oh no, obviously all safely restrained, all fine,”
“If you and Andrean don't fight, Mommy believes. But if you and Adrian don't fight? Wow, that's an impossible thing. What say you can Mommy believe, honey?”
“Hahahhahh honestly if Ian and I did fight constantly, Mommy. But if I'm with Andrean or Andrean with Angel never fight,”
“Well Mommy can guess. Your quarrels can never be stopped, unless they are old like you,”
“Why if old people can't fight, Mom? Can, while there is still strength,”
“Don't fight, just sit it is difficult, Auris, remember people are also difficult,” said Devan who invited Auristella laughter.
“Oh yes also said Daddy. Parents are sick, yes, no more thoughts with a fight,”
“But later if you have a family together, have a life of each, Daddy sure your quarrel will be reduced. Wh why? Because you guys ‘kan already busy with living alone, busy with a partner, busy with children, busy with each wedding is the point,”
“Iya seems so, hopefully yes, Dad,”
“Don't, if I don't fight with Ian, my life is so quiet, Mom, Dad,”
“No, later there will also make your life not lonely anymore,” said Lovi while raising his eyebrows.
“Means Mommy?”
“Iya ‘kan already have a companion later, already have children too,”
“Yeah, Mommy. It was a long time ago, can I get married now?”
“Hei what are you talking about?”
Auristella was blown away as Devan looked at her with a sharp gaze while raising her chin.
“I just asked, Dad,”
“You asked what you already know the answer to, Honey,”
“Just to make sure I can marry young?”
“Yes can't, who wants to marry you now? Huh huh? Tell Daddy and Mommy we'll go to him. What does he have? Only love? No hard work? All the necessities still ask the parents? Oh then apologize, Daddy can't keep quiet. How dare he invite you to marry young when he himself has no preparation,”
“Yeah, even though I was just asking, the discussion got far, Dad,”
Auristella scratched her temple. He was afraid to see Devan's reaction which immediately seriously responded to his question. Devan thought someone had dared to invite his daughter to marry when the princess asked if she could marry young.
“You deliberately lured your Daddy to roar, Auris. So that's how Daddy would react if you asked if you could marry young or not,”
“Ya can anyway, as long as you finish college first. That's young too ‘kan? And the man has capital, not just capital love. What will you be fed? How does he support you? And remember, that hard work must also be owned by your prospective partner,”
“Siap, Dad. I'll find one that matches Daddy and Mommy's expectations,”
“Do not now think of marriage, dear. Besides because you still have to focus on education, your thoughts and attitudes are also immature. It is difficult to be immature but married. It's not just about age. But the mindset and attitude of adults is very important. Some are young but two things he already has, but there are also those whose age is mature and he does not have both. What Daddy sees, you're young, you don't have an adult mindset and attitude, honey. So later yes,”
“Yes, who wants to get married now, Dad?”
“If Angel, he is still young, but his education is almost finished, when talking about his mindset and attitude, we all know yes. It's no wonder we chose him to be Andrean's companion. Evident by the maturity she had, she could match her husband,”
“Iya I understand, Dad,”
“Happy si—“
“Hah? Daddy Mommy has arrived home? Oh my God, I don't think so today. No word from you two,”
“Hey, congratulations what? Proceed first,”
“Happy afternoon uh it's late afternoon, yes afternoon I mean, Auris. Understandably, I was surprised to see Mommy Daddy had come home so forgot to continue the sentence. So when does Daddy Mommy get home?”
“Not too long, about an hour or two lah,”
“Why not ask me to come to the airport? I want to pick you up,”
“No need, trouble later,”
“Gosh, Mommy don't talk like that. Where was a parent ever considered troublesome by his own son? Never, if anyone thinks so, means that the child is not a good child. I am more troublesome Mommy Daddy, born, raised, given nutritious and delicious food than in the womb, proper education, but you never say that I am troublesome. In fact, I am very, very troublesome for you. Too bad I didn't pick you up at the airport. Should've sent me a message, Mom, Dad, let me come get you,”
“Nothing, there are drivers too. You ‘kan busy college, we do not want to disturb. So how were your days without Daddy, Ian? Hmm?”
“Lonely, I feel less friend. Ean there anyway, but ‘kan more fun that Daddy, the atmosphere is more alive if with Daddy than Andrean,”
Adrian hugged Devan tightly. Even though he is an adult but if you miss wanting to hug, Adrian will not hesitate to do it even though his sister said “Ih spoiled once, already smelly soil too!”
Adrian did not care that the important feeling of longing overflowed after being able to meet Devan who was fine and he could hug Devan.
After that, she hugged Lovi. She was also happy to see Lovi doing well, looking happy after going to accompany her husband to work.
“Mommy getting younger ya,”
“Ah you could have. Wanna what is this? If you praise usually there want ‘kan?”
“Hahahaha Mommy if you talk like it right, Ian. What do you want?”
“Heh carelessly! I want to praise Mommy. What I said just came true. Mommy looks younger, happier. Mommy is so noble as a wife. Want to be willing to go to a place far away just to accompany Daddy. Wow is amazing. I'm increasingly looking for a life partner like Mommy,”
“If it can be much better than Mommy,” said Lovi. He believes there are still many women out there who are much better than him, and Lovi hopes one of them can be owned by Adrian.
“Aamiin, but like Mommy alone is more than enough, I'm grateful. Because Mommy is perfect,”
“Mommy ordinary man, Adrian. No human is perfect,”
“But in my view so, Mom. That's why Daddy was so lucky to be,”
“Oh of course Daddy is very grateful. There's nothing Daddy isn't grateful for in this life, Ian, let alone Mommy. That's a great blessing to Daddy,”
“Mommy also never ceases to be grateful to have an amazing husband, amazing children too. Mommy's life feels complete without lack of anything. While with you, Mommy thinks Mommy will be fine even if hit by any storm,”
While they were having a warm conversation in the living room, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps.
Not long after, the faces of Andrean and Angel immediately smiled to see the whereabouts of Lovi and Devan.
“Wow Mommy Daddy has gone home turned out. Since when? Has it been a while? Didn't tell me when I was going to pick up Mommy Daddy,”
“You are the same as Ian yes. Both intend to pick us up. Intentionally not saying so as to make you shocked,”
“I don't think today, Mom,” Andrean said with a smile.
“Hahaha, this is a surprise, dear. It was deliberately not to say if it would be until today. How's this house? Safe yes no Mommy and Daddy?”
“Aman, which here are all safe, Dad,”
“Thanks yes, you are always reliable,”
“You look tired, please enter each room to rest. We will eat together as usual. You two ‘kan soon move, so can not miss a moment together one time,”
“Hmm Mommy, I want to talk to Mommy, Daddy, Ian and Auris,”
Instead of going to the room, Andrean invited those whom he had mentioned his name just now to sit down and Angel also followed.
“It seems important, what is it, dear?” Lovi asked with curious eyes.
“Angel is not ready to leave this house, considering that recently there have been terrorizing Angel. In our house, not only the two of us, but it looks like Angel is safer here. Until Angel and I are fully prepared, we can move, can I make that decision?”
“Jeez, Andrean,”
They didn't expect that Andrean would talk like that. Though Andrean's decision was right, and indeed what was wanted by one house people who did not want Andrean and Angel to leave the house.
“That's what Mommy wants, everyone wants. Quiet if we reduce our personnel. When you said you wanted to move, Mommy was sad but Mommy couldn't do anything because it was your decision before. After you change your mind, we're all thrilled. Safety of the main Angel. If here ‘kan many people, many will take care of Angel,”
“Iya, Mom. I thought about Angel. He still could not forget the trauma. There was still fear, so I didn't want to force Angel to move. We both have agreed to move if we are both ready,”
“Iya it's good. Do not be forced if Angel is not ready,” said Devan.
“Yeayy Angel is not moving. I'm so happy. Don't just move, let's keep going, Angel,”
“Will keep moving, Auris. But not now,” said Andrean who immediately made Auristella scowl.
“Ih why would you want to keep moving anyway? ‘Kan here is more fun because many people,”
“Yes that's it if crowded, Mommy and Daddy pity can not calm down,”
“Don't talk like that, Ean. We're happy that we're together. Already, now do not have to think about moving first. This is your home, our home, so don't hesitate to stay here. That's what Mommy wanted. Honestly, Mommy's hard to let go of you. Mommy wants to be with you for a little longer, at least until Mommy has a grandchild so Mommy has a chance to take care of it for a while before you take her away to your house,”
“Hahahaha Mommy why call it escape? That's ‘kan their son, Mom,”
Auristella laughed the loudest at Lovi's words that spoke with her serious face. Once felt a house with a grandchild must be fun, Lovi can already imagine it. He had hoped Andrean and Angel moved when they had children, but apparently they had a decision to move this weekend. He can do anything but agree. He knew his children had a right to determine their own way of life.
Since Andrean is married and wants to live without parents, so Andrean took the decision to bring his wife out of his parents' house. It was hard for Lovi to accept the decision.
Then suddenly Andrean changed his mind because he thought of the safety and comfort of his wife who still did not dare to live without family in their home. Lovi is happy because Angel chose to stay in this house, meaning Angel really already considers her husband's family is his family as well that can make him safe and calm.
“Ya already then me and Angel go to the room first,”
“Iya-iya, please. Do not think about moving first yes,” said Lovi while winking one of his eyes towards Angel who immediately smiled.
“Iya, Mommy,”
Andrean and Angel immediately rush to their room, while Adrian and Angel still survive in the living room with their parents.
“Mommy, Daddy, so Angel was still reminded of sending carrion to him. And until now Andrean also did not know who the evil one did that. Poor Angel, early after the incident he cried. I follow the emotions of the bad guy. Why the hell is he bad at Angel? Angel was wrong what did she try? I didn't think it out. If Angel should have made a mistake, talk about it well, do not even send negative things like that,” said Auristella fiery explained to her parents about the terror received by her sister's wife.
“What is Daddy's business rival? I mean, there are people who don't like Daddy's achievements, or don't like Daddy's family, eventually Angel becomes a victim,”
“Will Daddy investigate. Daddy hopes the culprit has nothing to do with Daddy. Because Daddy would feel so guilty,”
“Although it is true that the culprit did it because he hated Daddy, or what Daddy had, yes already let it go, Dad who takes care of everything,”
“Don't be killed, Dad! Humanity not to be forgotten,”
Devan laughed at the message from his second son. He patted Adrian's shoulders to calm down.
“Aman-safe, Daddy won't use that way,”
“Remember having a wife at home, Dad,”
“Iya always remember, Ian,”
“Do not make the activity that makes the wife's child to mind,”
“Yeah, who wants to do something? Hm? Nothing, Daddy just wants to ask that person to stop bothering Daddy's family if it's because of Daddy,”
“Daddy many enemies, so life is less quiet,”
“Ssst can't talk like that. Who wants to have enemies? Hmm?”
Lovi reprimands his daughter who just complained that her life is not calm because the father has many enemies.
“Heh Auris, if you know yes. In this world, want as good as anything, every human must have haters, aka haters. So good to be evil is actually the same. Someone must not like us, someone must hate us. The difference is only in the number I think. If the good man, who does not like only a little, who hates only a little, and if the bad man is the opposite. You understand ‘kan? So don't blame Daddy. Daddy is rich, successful, his family is seen as harmonious, maybe Daddy's life in the minds of others is a life without gaps, finally they hate Daddy,”
“He was right Ian and Mommy said. Daddy too if you can choose won't want to have a hater, Auris. Not good, life is always on the lookout, but how else? Those who hate us have to exist. They envy our achievements, they envy what we have. Finally so hate,”
“Iya I wonder with those who are envious. Why not focus on your own life goals? ‘Kan is quieter, more peaceful it feels. If envy is used as a motivation to move forward, it is okay, I support. But the problem in this world is that most humans abuse envy instead. Which should be motivation, so lash to make efforts harder and achieve what you want, even the envy is stored in the heart, then finally grow the hate,”
“Patience, don't emotion. Calm yourself, my ugly brother like a nemo fish,”
Adrian holds both shoulders of his only brother. Adrian can see Auristella's emotions are still there after telling her about the terror received by Angel.
“We just pray that terror does not come again,”
“If the terror comes again please daddy find out the right one, Dad,”
Devan was immediately respectful to his wife who had just had a request for help so that he found out who had dared to terrorize Angel to make Angel afraid.
********
Angel sees her husband not moving at all from his position when the phone rings. Angel was ambushed by curiosity. While her husband slept quietly with a calm face made Angel also reluctant to tell her husband that there was an incoming message. Angel cleared her throat slowly to find out if her husband had fallen asleep or not. It turned out that his voice was throbbing did not make Andrean open his eyes in the slightest.
“You're sorry, Ean. Looks very tired,” muttered Angel while rubbing her husband's jaw gently without disturbing intentions.
Angel again heard the tinkling of an incoming message on her husband's phone tonight. He who was curious finally rushed to pick up Andrean's phone and secretly read the incoming message.
“It's okay ‘kan I read the message? I did it this time too,”
Had hesitated to do that, but Angel thought there was no harm. All she saw was her husband's own cell phone. And he was afraid that something was important so the message came in at night. He became more convinced to read the message.
good night, Andrean. Sorry to interrupt your time
The first message was read by Angel, and it came from a man whose number was named Abraham by Andrean.
- Cafe design want you to prepare or your woman? Hahaha, I'm waiting for the answer yes, Andrean-
Angel frowned in confusion after reading the second message. He did not know what this man named Abraham was talking about.
“Cafe? What cafe? Who is this woman called?”
While Angel was confused and wondering in his heart, Andrean changed his sleeping position to face down and it made Angel panic. Angel quickly returned her husband's cell phone to the nightstand, then he lay still with curiosity left.
“Angel, why haven't you slept?”
Angel looked over when her husband asked. Andrean seemed confused to see him who had not slept while Andrean had had it, even for a while.
“Iya I don't want to sleep,”
“Sleep, don't sleep less. Your head hurts,”
“Iya, but tomorrow ‘kannya me off work. So it's okay to sleep a little more at night, Ean,”
“Oh tomorrow you have a holiday? Where are you going? There may be a place you want to visit,”
“I think at home, Ean. I'm gonna take a break. But if you want to go, I'll tell you yes,”
Andrean nodded his head with a smile after that rubbed his wife's head for a while.
“Ya I want to go to bed again,”
Angel nodded, instead of discussing the message she had just read, Angel allowed her husband to continue to rest.
After her husband closed his eyes, Angel turned his back to Andrean.
“I'm still thinking about that message. Who was abraham? What cafe does Abraham mean? And which woman?”
“Angel, are you okay?”
“Hah? Iy—iya, I—I'm fine. Why, Ean?”
“I heard you talking but slowly, and I couldn't hear it clearly,”
Angel bit her lower lip. He thought it was just muttering in his heart but it turned out that it came out of his mouth and it reached Andrean's ears.
“No, I don't talk anything,”
“You sure? What are you thinking?”
“No,”
“Why talk to yourself earlier?”
Andrean would be indifferent to others, but if his own wife he could not. There was always a sense of wanting to make sure Angel was okay, he always wanted to know what Angel was doing, what Angel was thinking. As Angel lay on her back, and she heard Angel's slow voice, she could guess what Angel was thinking.
“If there is something you want to talk to me about, please. I'll be a good listener,”
Angel nodded her head. The moment where she felt suspicious that her husband was preparing something together that was somehow, it turned out to be true. And this cafe in front of him is proof.
“Gosh, honestly I was suspicious of you. I think—you're preparing a surprise for—maaf—other woman, it turns—“
Andrean laughed at his wife's words. Then he pressed both of Angel's cheeks and did not forget to pin a kiss on his lips.
“It's okay, Honey. You can be as content to suspect me, but I need to make it clear. I don't want to mess around behind you, enough you, nothing else,”
“You like this cafe I made for you?”
“I like it very much. Thank you, Ean, but you shouldn't have to prepare this for me because I think, I don't deserve it,”
Andrean immediately summarized Angel's face then shook his head while saying “You don't talk like that. Everything I gave you deserves it, baby. Sorry to confuse you or even be suspicious. I was going to give you a surprise. I purposely created this cafe for you so you wouldn't have to work for people anymore. I want you to work not under the pressure of others. With your own cafe you can freely set your working hours, you will not be exhausted,”
Angel nodded with her new smile. She hugged her husband who made her happy today. He really did not expect that Andrean had prepared a great surprise for him. Andrean realized the dream that He had been quiet because He knew that to have his own business would not be possible. But it turns out Andrean made it happen.
“Thanks, Andrean. Thank you for all your kindness. I love you,”
“You don't have to say thank you for whatever makes you happy I will try, and I love you very much too,”
“I love you,”
Angel further tightened his embrace and Andrean did the same thing while answering “I also love you very much, darling, I hope you are happy with what I give this. And sorry if there is still a lack of yes,”
“Jeez, this is not the slightest lack. Made me a cafe, and this is part of my dream. How could I feel lacking?”
“I hope you are really happy, Honey,”
“Yes of course, I'm really happy. You are amazing to make me happy? Don't mess around,”
“Yes, that's why I don't allow anyone to make you sad or hurt. Because I know your happiness is simple, so anyone who doesn't make you happy at least don't make you sad or disappointed,”
“It's up to you to start active when in this cafe. If not ready in the near future is okay, and remember my message yes, never ignore the health of yourself and also our children,” said Andrean while rubbing his wife's stomach gently.
