Axell walked casually into the house after the door was opened by Bi Inah. As he was about to step up the stairs, Resty's mother's words stopped him.
"Where have you been, boy? Why did you just come home?" Ask mother Resty. "... Your wife just went upstairs, she's been waiting for you." His speech.
Axell sighed hearing the mother's reply, he turned around and walked to the mother. Just going to grab the hand of the mother for her to kiss, Mother Resty again voiced.
"Boy, what's wrong with your face? Who are you fighting with?" As he panicked, even the hands of Resty's mother appeared to hold both sides of the son's face to see clearly the bruise that decorated one corner of the child's lips only wayangnya.
Axell grabbed one of his parents' hands and he kissed, "Axell doesn't fight, Bun." Axell replied quietly but sounded so convincing
"Not fighting, but your face says you're lying, boy!" Mother sighed with her head shaking slowly, ". bik. bik..." Shouted Mother Resty calling bi this.
Before long Bik Inah came with his head bowed to Mother Resty, "Yes, buk..." Saying bi Inah.
Mother Resty turned her head, "Bik, get me the medicine box!"
Bi Inah glanced at her young master, then turned to look at Resty's mother. "Okay, buk." Bik Inah nodded obediently and went to pick up the medicine box that Mother Resty needed.
"What's up, boy? Why did you come home late, when you didn't go to the office?" Ask mother Resty streak. "... Then what is this?" Mother Resty pressed the tip of Axell's lips, making her son grimace slightly to endure the pain. "... You don't usually come home with souvenirs like this!"
"It's nothing, Bun." Axell replied still reluctant to answer the mother's question.
Mother Resty sighed, she knew Axell wouldn't say anything. The only son who ruled Dira's husband always covered his own problems.
Mother Resty then pulled Axell's hand to sit next to her, then began cleaning and treating her son's small wound after the mother gave him the medicine box that he asked for earlier.
"What will you tell Dira and dad later, boy? Your father's coming home soon." Mother Resty asked after treating Axell's wounds.
Axell smiled, "Let it be Axell's business, Bun. Axell knows what Axell has to do."
Mother Resty looked at Axell's face seriously. "Does this have anything to do with your daughter-in-law? Why did you ask Zaki to take Dira home?"
Axell did not answer. He sighed softly and nodded afterwards, "Arfen and Dira sahabatan, Bun. And Arfen has more sense of friend .. he loves Dira." Axell.
Mother Resty reflexes closed her open mouth in surprise when she heard the son's explanation. His son's best friend turned out to be friends with his own daughter-in-law.
The world is so narrow.
"Then, why didn't you tell Arfen, if Dira was your daughter-in-law?" Ask Resty's mother who is now starting to understand who the person behind the bruised face of her son is.
Axell leaned his back against the back of the sofa. His head was raised staring at the end of the stairs where the second floor was. Seconds later he sighed softly. "Dira asked, Bun. Dira was still not ready for his status known to many people. Axell just followed what Dira wanted."
Mother Resty sighed again, "But Arfen still has to know the status of the two of you, boy. So that he stops expecting the legitimate Dira to be the mother's daughter-in-law. Mother does not want your two sons to constantly fight like this."
Axell clasped the mother's hand. "Axell told Arfen indirectly, Bun. You know, Arfen is not a stupid person who must be given an explanation first he understood about what really happened. And from everything Axell said, he should understand."
Mother Resty sighed in relief at Axell's words. He nodded. It was true what Axell said. Mother Resty does know Arfen as a smart child, which is why Axell likes to be friends with Arfen. Although now the two are at odds.
"Mother calm, Axell will make Arfen come to the house soon."
...***...
Axell circulated his gaze as soon as he entered the room. But his eyes could not find his wife in his room.
"Darling..." Call Axell who doesn't get any credit at all. Axell placed his school bag on the table and rushed straight to the bathroom. Maybe his wife was cleaning up, Axell thought. However, he did not find his wife there.
"More..." Call Axell again and now he walks into his walk in closet and still does not find his wife.
Axell came back out, he saw the balcony door slightly open and Axell guessed his wife must be there.
And it's true. Dira was right there. Stand facing the balcony and behind him.
"Yes..." Call Axell as he walked closer and wrapped his hands around Dira's waist and kissed his wife's cheek.
"Yeah!" Dira's strangled cry suddenly with the arrival of Axell who immediately hugged and kissed him. Dira turned his head and could only see next to the husband's face. "... Axell's brother is home? I didn't catch Axell in the room."
"How could you be horrified, Yang? If there are airpods in your ears?!" Axell asked at the end of his laugh.
Dira smiled realizing his ridiculousness. "Sister Axell just got home, where did you come from?" Ask Dira.
"See you earlier." Answer Axell gently.
Dira nodded then took off Axell's embrace. Dira wanted to see her husband's face more clearly.
"Oh my God, this" Dira screeched at the corner of Axell's lips which attached a clear plaster. "... What's wrong with Axell?"
Axell smiled looking at Dira's worried face, "Oh? It's not pa-pa, Yang." Axell replied calmly.
"What pa-pa? It's a wound like this!" Dira holding both cheeks of the husband, "... Axell's fighting, huh? That's why I told Zaki anterin?"
"Who said?" Kill Axell. Both of his hands then pulled Dira's waist to get close to him. "... I don't fight, Yang."
"Not fighting but wounds." Dira suddenly upset. "... Ckkp. Brother Axell now wants to try to play secrets, huh?"
"I don't have any secrets, Yang. There's nothing I'm covering for you." Axell replied with an eye that could not be separated from Dira.
Dira's eyes narrowed at Axell suspiciously. Yes, he knows. Axell couldn't possibly tell the truth. But at least Dira understood enough, Axell was hiding something from him.
"Really? No lie?" Ask Dira as if in doubt. Even though he really doesn't bother about this at all.
Instead of answering, Axell brought his face closer to Dira. And,
Cups,
Axell kissed Dira's lips so gently. Sip and******* natural red lips belong to Dira, so that his wife no longer asks him things that he does not want to answer. But not for long, the kiss was immediately released when Dira who deliberately slightly pushed the chest field belonging to the husband.
"Why, baby?" Axell asked pretending not to know what Dira was doing when her kiss came off.
"IIihh. Wait up! I'm serious, you know!" Dira's protest attempts to stop Axell from kissing her again.
"OK, Baby. Say what you want to say!" Axell said that now looks serious.
Dira's gaze then descended to the corner of Axell's bruised lips, "Actually what happened? What did Axell hide from me? Then ... this?"
"Which..-"
"What's up, brother?" Urge Dira quickly. "... why did Brother Axell start not being honest with me?!"
Axell smiled at his increasingly open wife and displayed another side of him. "There's nothing I'm hiding, Yang."
'Except news of the disappearance of our child candidate.' Axell is certainly in the heart.
Dira sighed softly, as hard as he asked, Axell would not tell the truth.
Axell's one hand was raised to slip Dira's hair flying in the wind. "Sometimes there are things that would be better if we didn't know." Axell said softly to let Dira understand and stop asking questions.
Dira nodded in understanding, he understood Axell's intentions. But Dira won't just give up. "OK. If so, I have another question."
Axell pulled one eyebrow as if asking 'what'.
Dira was silent for a moment. He noticed Axell's face that didn't turn on him in the slightest. "Mother never told me. He said that in addition to Bastian and Verrel"
"You know him, Yang." Cut Axell who immediately understood what Dira would ask.
Dira frowned confused, pretending to be sure. Because he didn't have to ask, he knew who it was. The photo he found a few days ago already gives him an answer about who Axell's best friend made Renata turn away from him. And now, Dira had indeed intentionally asked this. Just to make sure, whether her husband was telling the truth or not.
"I know? But who?" Ask Dira as if she doesn't know. "... Eiitsa... Sis! Iihhh..wait a minute!" Dira protested with one hand raised and immediately covered the lips of Axell who would kiss him again.
"Otherwise, anyway, Yang? That's not important. Why are you talking about him?"
