ALWAYS BY YOUR SIDE
2. Little Slit
The snowy weather is starting to feel these days. Not spared at Tores' house. The atmosphere of the morning for other families has been a scene of excitement. But it is different here, because only a few people live in this house.
"Darling... Auntie made you breakfast.." Lyodra greets Ares as she descends from her room on the 2nd floor.
"Yes .. I'll eat whatever your aunt cooks..." Ares gives a good morning kiss on Lyodra's cheek.
"Where are Grandma and Grandpa..? Did they not eat breakfast?" Ares looked at Eleanor and Steven's room.
"This morning, it's just the two of us... They went to Mount Rosten. Look at Marcho's situation. Maybe it'll stay there."
Obviously Lyodra is smearing whole wheat bread with Ares' favorite peanut butter.
"Only the two of us... Me and aunt..
Always is so .."
Ares smiled wryly turning his face away. He feels lonely. And this family hasn't been warm since Loli Ohara's departure.
"Are you angry?" Lyodra puts a piece of Ares's plate bread.
"Just disappointed... The warmth of my family goes with Mommy..."
He still ate his breakfast the next morning. Lyodra stared at Ares' face, which was actually a grandchild to her.
"Ares... There's still me your aunt. You don't say that. Understand the state of our family, dear . Give them time..."
Lyodra tried to give Ares a little understanding so he would feel calm.
"You're right aunt... I need to be able to understand... Who will understand me?"
Ares glazed over looking at Lyodra. The beautiful woman could no longer speak.
He stood up and brought his area of embrace. Her tears also flowed. Remembering the grief Loli had left so long since her departure.
"Auntie. Find me a future wife..."
Lyodra was shocked when she heard Ares's words arriving. He looked at Ares's face and kissed his forehead. Then walk back across the table to sit down to eat his breakfast.
"For what?" Ask Lyodra wonder.
"To make a wife... His name is Rubi."
Obviously Ares who has been desperate to find Rubi's whereabouts for several years.
"Ruby? Hmmmm" Lyodra seemed to think for a moment.
"Yes... Does aunt know her?" Ares is enthusiastic.
"Maybe... But I'm not sure if your Rubi is the same Rubi I know."
"Where does aunt know her?" Ares looked at Lyodra seriously waiting for her answer.
"Where I work."
Hmmm . so he works at the hospital. Alright... I'll visit her there.
"Why?" Lyodra asked again looking at Ares who was smiling his own smile.
Just now the young man looked sad, but now his expression instantly changed looking even more excited.
"Come here... If you can, baby.."
Lyodra understood the meaning of Ares' smile. And he paved the way to see for himself the Rubi that Ares meant.
"When did he work there ?" Ares is getting curious.
"Two years ago... Maybe more."
Lyodra tidied up their breakfast. Then he left Ares who was still seen sitting in front of the dining table.
"Are you not working today?"
Ares is shocked when Lyodra holds his shoulder. He stood up and hugged Lyodra.
"You are the best.
Aunt thank you...
I'll drop by your place... Soon."
Ares walked up the stairs with half a run taking his suit and briefcase.
"Do you want me to take you?" Basa stale Ares.
"Of course .. Don't you know my car hasn't been with me for three days?" Lyodra pinched Ares's cheek.
"I'm sorry... I forgot so much."
Ares hugged Lyodra's shoulder while chuckling, then walked out toward her car.
