š Papa is Calling...
One eyebrow Axell raised perfectly when reading the caller's ID name. Not wanting to make his father-in-law wait too long, Axell immediately shifted the green badge on the bright screen.
"Hello, assalamu'alaikum, pa..." Sapa Axell was friendly to her father-in-law and successfully diverted the attention of Verrel who was sitting right next to her, after hearing the word 'Pa' that was thrown from the mouth of his best friend.
'Pa? I didn't listen wrong? Not that Axell's been calling me Marvell's Dad all this time, huh? Or maybe the guy Axell called papa was .. Dira's dad?'
There were a lot of questions in Verrel's mind. Now he even secretly glanced at Axell and Dira simultaneously.
"(....)."
Axell looked calm hearing the sentences per sentence spoken by someone across the street. Until suddenly Axell's eyes widened slightly when he heard what papa Pras said. Then his gaze led to Dira who was sitting in front of him and was enjoying the meatballs of his order.
There Lali got up from her seat and walked a little away from her friends, intending that Dira would not listen to what papa Pras said.
"Yes, pa. Going home from school, Axell went straight there with Dira." Answer the man.
After the end of the phone call, Axell immediately rejoined Dira and his friends. But, not until Axell landed his butt perfectly, a single question emerged from Verrel.
"Who's phone, Xell? So secret, to that extent!"
Axell slightly pulled one corner of his lips. Hearing Verrel's tone, Axell could feel that there was a tone that seemed to sneer at what Verrel was aiming for him. Not intending to answer, Axell simply chose to shake his head faintly. And it even makes Verrel tick annoyed because of his unanswered curiosity.
Not wanting to take a headache with the response shown by Verrel, Axell prefers to tinker with his phone while occasionally glancing at Dira.
"That ... This abis there's a maple of what?" Axell asked Dira.
"School eyes Ma'am -
"You want to take IPA Lo's lessons, Xell?" Zaki cut a speech from Dira who even did not get any response from Axell. The man looked down at Zaki and turned to look at Dira.
"Why, brother. How's that supposed to be?" Dira asked who was aware of the strangeness of the way Axell was looking at her.
"There's nothing, Yang."
...***...
Geck...
Geck...
Geck...
The sound of knocking on the door of Dira's classroom. Sontak makes Bu Retno, a teacher who happens to teach in Dira's class look at the door.
"Lake in!" Tell someone standing behind the door. Making someone who came directly open the door, and Axell appeared behind it.
"Excuse me, Mom." Sapa Axell slightly bowed. Retno turned her head back and found Axell walking calmly towards her.
"What's up, Xell?" Ask Ms. Retno.
Axell turned to Dira who was focused on writing, then his gaze returned to Bu Retno. "I'd like to pick up Dira, Mom. There's an urgent need." Axell replied as he stood beside the teacher's desk.
Ms. Retno knitted her eyebrows while thinking, then a few seconds later she nodded in understanding. "Okay, please." Replied Ms. Retno while continuing her work, correcting the results of yesterday's repetition.
Axell nodded, then walked closer towards the bench occupied by Dira and Melody.
Melody who saw the arrival of Axell was reflexively close her head to Dira. Melody knows, Dira does not know Axell's arrival.
"Dir, Lo's husband!" Whisper Melody so that no one hears her words other than Dira earlier.
Dira who was surprised to hear Melody's words immediately turned his head, "Huh... what, Mel?" Ask the girl in surprise.
"Sister Axell, how come it's here?" Ask Dira with surprise.
"Come, Yang. I have to take you somewhere!" Axell replied in a tone that sounded so serious.
Zaki who heard Axell's answer also said, "Gue is not invited, Xell." Follow him nimbrung.
Axell turned his head towards Zaki for a moment without any intention of answering. Then his eyes returned to Dira.
"Sister, but I still have one more subject from Mr. Dhana." Reject Dira slowly.
"Yang .. there is more important than the subject of Mr. Dhana. You must come with me now!" Axell tried to convince his wife to obey him.
"But, brother"
"Udah, who, don't argue, can you? You know best that I can't be denied." Said Axell who cut Dira's speech. Now his sturdy hand grabbed the ballpoint pen in Dira's grasp, put all the stationery into his wife's school bag
*Si Axell if you've been here like Marvell's father really not. So ngebayangin if he again said 'not to be denied'. š¤
The daughter-in-law of papa Pras even without shame carrying Dira's school bag using her left hand. Then he used his right hand to hold Dira's hand which was no bigger than his. Holding Dira's white hand and slightly pulling it so that his wife immediately woke up from her sitting position.
"Mom, we'll excuse you." Said Axell with his head nodding at Miss Retno. Then walked out after seeing Bu Retno who also nodded at him.
Arriving outside the classroom, Dira who was confused with Axell who suddenly invited him home finally asked.
"What's really going on, brother? Why did I suddenly come home? Later if Dhana sir gave me the value of red how?" Cecar Dira with his hasty footsteps followed Axell's footsteps.
Axell suddenly stopped his steps and turned his head towards Dira. "Yang, Mr. Dhana will not dare to give you the value of red. After all, he will definitely send the materials taught today to me. Your job is to follow me without protesting!" Axell said so firmly.
The deg!
The heart of Dira stopped beating. Dira is not stupid. He knew something must have happened. He then ventured to ask.
"What's really going on, brother?"
...***...
Dira is silent with a mind that branches everywhere. The answer to why Axell invited him home during the hours of the lesson that was still going on he did not get. The man preferred to keep quiet rather than tell her what really happened.
Still silent with their own thoughts, Dira realized that the road they were passing was not the way back to the apartment, not also home to Marvellyo's father and not to the house of papa Pras. Dira was getting confused.
'This is actually where Axell's taking me, anyway?'
After a few minutes, Axell was still at home with silence. Until finally both of Dira's eyebrows were raised when the car carrying them entered the parking area of a hospital.
The deg!
Suddenly an uneasy feeling enveloped Dira right then and there. "Sir ..." Call the girl as if asking for an explanation about why Axell took her to the hospital.
"Yang .. You calm down, yes! Everything's gonna be fine. I will always be there for you." Said Axell while rubbing Dira's cheek gently.
The deg!
Hearing what Axell said instead of making Dira feel calmer, Dira even more guessing about what had happened actually.
Axell who understood what was controlling the mind of his wife was now holding the hand of the wife. "Yang .. hey, this isn't anything serious. Don't worry! Mending now we go in and see the state of mama Diva now!" Axell said slowly.
The deg!
Again, hearing what Axell just said made Dira's heart come back.
"Mama Diva why, brother?"
