"If Aunty can find out, what are you working for? The money we gave you was less, Angel?"
Lovi, Devan, and Auristella visit Angel at the hospital while Andrean is home. Last night Andrean really took care of Angel. No matter Angel who keeps asking him to come home soon, but Andrean's care is greater than his fatigue.
Auristella has just come out to forage, while Lovi and Devan are by Angel's side.
Angel was too exhausted, the doctor said. And it was none other than Angel's solid activities.
Honestly, when he found out that Angel worked at a restaurant, Lovi and Devan were surprised and curious about the reason Angel chose to work while in college. They feel the money given is more than enough. But they could not ask Angel.
But Lovi thought there was nothing wrong he asked considering Angel was sick from exhaustion. So he needs to know the reason why Angel is willing to work from morning to night while Devan considers himself like a child whose needs are met.
"Because your father and brother wasted your money?" devan asked which made Angel very embarrassed to admit.
Lovi sighed softly. He rubbed the strands of Angel's hair that looked glassy.
"You never asked us. You should be focusing on college, Angel, not even working to make you sick like this,"
"Aunty and Uncle have been very helpful to me. There's no way I'm asking for more. And I can still use my energy to make some extra money. So it's okay, Uncle, Aunty. I should have been independent. All this time I've been spoiled by you guys,"
Lovi and Devan smiled at Angel who chuckled softly. The girl could still look fine while on her back carrying a heavy burden.
Angel really doesn't take advantage of people who have been kind to him. He helped her so much she was grateful. He did not have such a thick face to ask for more. He was young after all, endowed with energy by God, so it should have been used.

Adrian deliberately awaits Adrina who still has class. Today he was only in college for a while and there was no job, so he wanted to see Angel of course by inviting Adrina. Perhaps his best friend wanted to go with him to the hospital.
"You haven't come home yet? Waiting for me? I'm still a long time home,"
Adrian raised his eyebrows when the sister approached him and immediately assumed that his brother was deliberately still on campus to wait for him to finish college. Really too confident! Adrian sneered.
Adrian calls Auristella because he wants to disturb her sister. He got tired of sitting near Adrina's class. So it's better to disturb Auristella who he believes is learning. He thought his call would not be answered. It was answered without even waiting for a long time.
"Hey why shut up?!"
"There's nothing. I just wanted to call you,"
"Ah you're wasting my time! I closed yes. My lecturer has arrived. Hye!"
The phone connection was cut off and Adrian chuckled at the screen of his phone for a moment. Surely Auristella is sneering at him right now. If He was in front of the girl's face, He would have been beaten, pinched, and sprayed with anger because Adrian had disturbed her.

After coming for a while to his office, Andrean went home to change clothes and went to the hospital because Angel said today he would go home, the doctor said so.
Angel was only cared for one night and Angel was grateful for it. Her father was already grumpy on the phone last night. Troublesome child - always that sentence that came out of Geno's mouth when Angel was sick. Though if you remember, Geno never took care of Angel who was sick. Someone else cares about him.
"You're going to the hospital, aren't you?"
Andrean nodded then He brought his Mommy to sit down. Lovi squinted when he saw the son who suddenly just looked at him seriously.
"What's up, Andrean?"
"I want to marry Angel immediately," obviously without any doubt the sentence came out of Andrean's mouth to make Lovi confused and surprised. Wasn't it yesterday Andrean who wanted his relationship with Angel lived first without getting married in the near future?
"I changed my mind, Mom. I want to marry Angel as soon as possible. Does Mommy mind?"
Honestly, Lovi did not mind, he was happy because it means he will soon find the fact that his eldest son has a companion at the age of almost stepped on the head of three.
But is Andrean sure of his decision? When did Andrean start thinking about changing his decision?
"It doesn't matter if you want it. But you're thinking mature?"
Andrean nodded still with his flat face as usual. He must have thought repeatedly with various considerations until finally he wanted to marry Angel immediately. Because He thought that way He could help Angel in treating his wounds. With them married, Angel will no longer be a poor child. At the very least, Angel could live quietly with him.
"You have to make it happy, Andrean. Don't you hurt him. Because he's too fragile,"

Yongkie is a student who moved to the Auristella campus a year ago. They are close because of one faculty and are often brought together in a variety of group assignments. He, Yongkie, and of course Ryn eventually became three very familiar friends. No matter Yongkie is a man, in fact Auristella is also comfortable to be friends with him in addition to Ryn who was already his best friend when he was in junior school.
The three of them are currently working in a cafe. Tired of doing tasks at home that atmosphere-that's it, finally the three of them agreed to spend time in the cafe with tasks, eating, drinking, and chatting.
"Auris, so what about Adrian and his close friend?"
Auristella rolled her eyes. Always, Adrian's name is never absent from the topic of Ryn's conversation. He got bored but because he knew very well how much Ryn felt admiration for his brother so he must always respond to Ryn. To please his friend.
"Adrina's a close friend of Adrian's. They're very, very close,"
"Oh so Adrina are you referring to her close friend?"
"Yes, who else? All this time when I'm talking about Adrian, sometimes there's Adrina's name in it? Yes, they are that close. Adrina is what I mean by Adrian's close friend,"
"Huwaaa their names alone are similar," Ryn whined in annoyance. "But I guess that close friend you're referring to is a different girl to Adrina,"
Honestly, he had thought about who the figure of a close friend of Adrian called Auristella when they visited Yongkie.
"All I know is that Adrian's girl friend is just him,"
"But they are friendly. That's what you said all along. Aye, right?"
"Yes, from our little ones,"
"So there's no possibility of them-"
Ryn could not continue his words. He just put his two index fingers together and looked at Auristella who immediately understood his meaning.
"Let's see, I don't know who my brother's soul mate is. Never mind, don't talk about that first. You know I can't accept that my two sisters have lovers?"
"I support you, Auris! I like you being this possessive and overprotective,"
Yongkie sipped the contents of his coffee cup and then shook his head. He was just a listener to the conversation of his two friends. Now he is interested in joining.
"Why can you be that scared when your two sisters have lovers? I'm sure they'll still love you" asked Yongkie curiously on the grounds that Auristella was so opposed to having her older sister have a mooring heart.
"I'm not ready yet. I'm afraid their affection and attention are no longer the same after they have a lover. I'm used to being spoiled and loved so much by them,"
Ryn ordered a cup of cappucino on the barista. Looks like their conversation will be more fun and he needs another drink.
"The types of Auris seem to be very possessive and overprotective also on his partner," said Ryn while glancing at Auristella who is now looking at the screen of his laptop.
"You think so?" Auristella asked Ryn.
"You too?" He also asked Yongkie. Yongkie nodded. With her sister alone Auristella was like that. Especially when with his partner.
Auristella was blown to the point of making Ryn and Yongkie squint at a loss. "I've never been that to you? You're my closest friend,"
"You're also a close friend of mine" Auristella added, pointing at Ryn. Close friends are like friends. Auristella thought that way.
Does Devan think that way too? I shoulda. But why bother when Auristella says that Yongkie is her closest friend?
"The situation is different, Auris. What we're talking about is the possibility when you already have a 'lover'. We're not your lovers,"
Yongkie's laughter rang out as Ryn grumbled in annoyance. Auristella seemed to think for a moment.
"It looks like it'll be the same. I won't be possessive and overprotective,"
"Ah is right?" Ryn teased Auristella while raising her eyebrows.
It was impossible for Auristella to become an indifferent figure to her lover later.
