All because of Angel

Chapter 14

"Mommy, where the hell is Ean? I had a phone call to pick up, he said he had some business,"

"Andrean's driving Angel to the hospital,"

Auristella sneered in annoyance. It turns out that because of Angel, her brother was unable to pick her up. So today is the same as three days yesterday where he had to go home with the driver after college and go anywhere with the driver. Both of his brothers were really busy.

"Are Andrean busy yesterday taking care of Angel? He said he was busy with work. Damnit damnit! So he lied to me?"

"Hey don't curse, Auris," Lovi's reprimand made Auristella grimace.

"Andrean has been busy with his work lately. And only today did he take Angel to the hospital. He even knew Angel was sick from Mommy,"

Auristella. He always felt annoyed if ignored by his two brothers especially if for the sake of women.

"Should Andrean deliver?"

Lovi smiled broadly before replying, "Yes, must be. Learning to be a good husband before marriage is very important, Auris," Lovi rolled her eyes at the child.

"After all, Andrean and Adrian are supposed to pick you up if you have free time, honey. Daddy already asked the driver to drop you off and pick you up,"

When Auristella's mouth opened to answer Lovi's words, Lovi interrupted.

"Do not at any time ask to be picked up or escorted them both. Because they also have a lot of activity. Understand, Honey?"

"Mom, I'm their sister. So it's only natural that I---"

"Yes, Mommy understands. But do not burden them, "again Lovi refutes his son who is quite stubborn.

"Do they feel burdened?"

"Yes could be,"

Auristella exhaled an annoyed breath. Andrean and Adrian never seem to mind. Mommy is too much.

"Don't be too spoiled, and don't be so possessive anymore with your two sisters huh?"

"Can't, they're my brother" Auristella then quickly stepped away from the confused Lovi. His youngest son really gave him a headache. Luckily Andrean and Adrian are used to it. Otherwise, both of them could have left the house because Auristella was spoiled, too many requests and too often arranged.

Arriving at the room, Auristella immediately replaced the jeans jumpsuit with clothes that were more comfortable to use inside the house.

After that he grabbed the laptop and took it to bed. He lay down in hope with the laptop that he had turned on. He chose to do his job instead of sleeping. Because the task is quite a lot and besides the drowsiness in the class was gone after he got home.

Almost an hour into the task, there was a video call from Ryn, a friend who had been with him for a long time. Since he was junior school until college at this time.

"What's up, Ryn?"

"I want--- hm-copy your assignment," great-grandson Ryn softly. Auristella rolled her eyeballs, "As usual," Auristella's lips, which Ryn embraced, interspersed with her laughter. Because Auristella has an intelligent brain, so Ryn always asks Auristella for help if she feels there is no way out.

"Which task? We have a lot of work to do,"

"Let's send you the part I can't do,"

"Okay, I'm closing. I don't want to be disturbed,"

"Hey a minute! I wanted to tell you. There was a post on social media about the piano race. You don't want to come, Auris?"

"Send me the information first. I'll think about it, thanks in advance. You've always been diligent in telling me about my one favorite, that one,"

"Of course, I should continue to help you in digging up abilities. And so that more and more awards you receive,"

After talking to Ryn, Auristella was busy again with her tasks that she had targeted to be completed today.

"Dad, I want to race again,"

"Hmm finally coming back. After a break,"

Devan receives Auristella's mobile phone, which is owned by the owner. Auristella wanted her Daddy to know what tournament he was going to take part in.

"It's a pretty big tournament too,"

"Yes, that's why I want to come. I know about this race from Ryn,"

"Oh Ryn's Adrian's fan?"

Auristella chuckles justifying. "Who else is my friend Ryn besides him, Dad?"

Devan chuckles too. He pinched his daughter's cheeks that became wide because she laughed.

When Devan was about to return Auristella's phone to his son, he squeaked when there was a notification of incoming messages so that He paused his intention to return. He read the message first because he had seen the name of the sender who seemed to be a man.

Auris, I can finally go back to college. The doctor let me go home.

Oh yes, thank you for telling me the tasks I have to do.

That's all that was sent Yongkie, Auristella's friend who had visited yesterday.

Auristella looked at her father in confusion as she looked at the screen of her phone with a cold look. After that, Devan handed her the phone.

"Friends near you sent a message. Please read," said Devan while pressing the word 'close friend' considering yesterday Auristella who mentioned that Yongkie his close friend.

Devan just slicked his shoulder. Then choose to focus on staring at the television in front of him. He was watching and suddenly Auristella approached him.

He won't bother Auristella. There was nothing strange in that message. Although she still finds it difficult to accept her little daughter blatantly saying that Yongkie is her close friend.

"Dad, I'm sorry I came home late,"

Devan patted the side of the sofa next to her for Lovi to sit there. The woman had just returned from the hospital after visiting Angel who turned out to have to get treatment in the hospital because of her condition which was not possible if she was treated at home. As soon as she got the news from Andrean, Lovi immediately rushed to the hospital.

"It's okay, Lov. What about Angel? Is the condition better?"

"Not yet, his body temperature is still high. His head is still hurting, too,"

"Mommy just saw Angel?"

"Yes, Mommy is worried about him. Finally go there,"

"Ean's keeping Angel there? She's not coming home?"

"Either, Mommy doesn't know, either,"

"Oh I guess after Mommy had Andrean take Angel to the hospital, Mommy also had Andrean keep her in the hospital,"

"No, Mommy didn't tell Andrean to look after Angel. Because Mommy believes that even if Andrean does not keep Angel completely in the hospital, he will often come to Angel," Lovi replied. He met with Andrean. He is worried about Angel and he believes Andrean is too. It's just that Andrean is very good at looking ordinary.

"Even if Mommy told Andrean to take care of Angel, it wasn't a problem. Apart from Angel is Andrean's future wife, Angel has also been a friend of Andrean since he was a child. So a friend should help a friend who is in trouble,"

"Would you like to see him?"

Auristella nodded without thinking. Honestly, he also wants to know how Angel's condition. As Devan said earlier, Angel is a friend of Andrean and also his friend. So he should care.

"Don't you get angry with Angel later huh," Lovi said with a light laugh. Lovi knows Auristella isn't evil. Auristella was only a little annoying because of her overprotective nature that was on her two brothers.

*******

Angel woke up from her sleep. It was silence that welcomed him. He was asleep. Then get up to eat. After eating, he soon slept again.

Satisfied with sleep, he woke up again. And it seems Andrean is still by his side. He thinks Andrean will come home after making sure he sleeps.

"You're not coming home? Hmm.sorry not that I want to expel you, but you better not be here too long,"

"Your father won't come here?"

He smiled shakes. Shamefully replied 'father definitely will not come' in front of Andrean.

"It doesn't seem like it, Andrean,"

"Why?"

"I'm sure you've known about how my father and brother have been. Right?"

Andrean exhaled softly before nodding. He just wanted to hear straight from Angel's mouth, He also needed an explanation of what He saw the other day. Angel entered immediately after his hand was pulled by the father, leaving Andrean stunned. Angel lived with her father. And he just found out. Mommy and her Daddy already know but have never talked about it to Andrean. Lovi was quite surprised when his son already knew even seeing firsthand what Geno's treatment of his flesh blood was like.

"My father won't waste his time coming here to see my condition,"

"Actually you can leave the source of your pain, Angel. Why don't you do it?"

Andrean held his sitting position. One leg rests on the other. His gaze was straight at Angel who was now pinching each other's fingers that He placed on his stomach.

"Because I love them, Andrean,"

The corner of Andrean's lips lifted. Funny, his ears were amused to hear Angel's words that unfortunately sounded very sincere.

"You want to laugh at me? Go ahead," Angel happily let Andrean laugh. Maybe Andrean thinks he's so stupid. But the truth is like that. Geno and Gesty have hurt him too deeply, but he can't stop loving them until it's hard to leave them.

"How much do you love them?"

Angel nodded without thinking. Geno is his biological father although his nature does not reflect the figure of a father. Gesty was her older sister even though she was born from a different womb. Both are part of Angel's life.

"Actually your grandmother needs you more. He is old, he needs friends. I'm sure your grandmother lost you so much when you decided to leave her. While your father and brother, I guess even if you leave, they won't feel lost. Maybe they'll be very happy,"

"I left Grandma because I didn't want to burden Grandma,"

"Burdered? You work and you can take care of yourself, so you're not a burden to Grandma,"

Angel was silent hearing that. Come to think of it, Andrean's remark had a point as well. Now, he can make his own money, not rely on his grandmother to make money for them to eat as they used to when he was a child and just left by his mother, Lianne. He can help more now, unlike when he was a child, he can only help his grandmother a little.

"But I shouldn't have stayed with Grandma. Because I still have a father and I'm supposed to serve my only parents" Angel muttered very slowly.

Andrean sighed softly while nodding. Angel remained on her decision to live with her father who had abandoned her and her mother when she found out that she was suffering from Leukaemia.

Lovi and Devan have often asked Angel to return with her grandmother or live in a place that will be prepared by Devan. But Lovi and Devan continue to get rejected. They can't do anything if Angel wants to stay with her father and sister.

Angel doesn't love her grandmother. Every week he went to his grandmother to find out about the news. He always remembered his grandmother's service. As long as his mother was sick to finally succumb to her illness, Angel was always cared for by her grandmother who was so dear to him. Until finally the father came and offered him a happy life.

"After we get married, will you stay with them?"

Angel chuckles at Andrean's question which he thinks is strange. The situation is different and of course the decision will be different.

"Of course not, Andrean. If I'm already a wife, I should be your tail, right? While I'm still alone, I have to be with my father, dedicating myself to him,"
