BETWEEN THE DESERT AND THE OCEAN

7. Desert

The extraordinary surprise of Leon's inner self, upon arriving in Dubai with the intention of searching for the whereabouts of his older brother, luis's apartment looked lonely and there were already several messages on the kitchen table for him and David that his brother was traveling to Asia, precisely in Indonesia on the grounds that his wife was there.

"why hasn't Zeus solved the problem yet, even our son who stays at home keeps a big secret, Dad do you hear me hubby?"

"he mommy my wife..remember dear...when you are pregnant Deuz so often with Ali and not infrequently come to dubai, now our firstborn child turns out to have assets in the desert"

"proud?, not at all, and my cravings would have nothing to do with our current situation, think what if they married and left us lonely?"

"we make another sister not to be lonely, I'm still too strong for honney's bed...." Leon whispered softly in the ears of his wife who has now matured in career and also family affairs, although never far from Leon's side, Casandra is still Caca who controls the needs of himself and his children, although never far from Leon's side,after that, he just re-monitored his studio which opened a special school of photography and modeling school under the care of Erica and himself who represented Sera currently has an only child who is also one of the assistant leaders in the studio with Caca's sister, Yuka is in the world of models, while Yoga is currently in New York, the profession is the famous Actor and architect out there.

🤪🤪🤪

Zeus slammed the car door and rushed into the mansion lethargic, hunger and resentment dominated his steps, as the maid's head greeted kindly in front of the door only a stern answer could be heard.

"Bi Mel, I'm really bored and hungry....."

the middle-aged nanny understood and as usual immediately provided mango juice to Zeus who had been fond of the drink since childhood,but Zeus saw that there were a few glasses of lemon ice on the dining table, making him grab it and take a sip.

"Bi, this drink belongs to brother Deuz right....."

"sorry son, this is tea made by Miss Lily.for Zeyna and Miss Lea"

"Andrea?he's here apparently....,okey, prepare lunch, I'll go to brother's room to make a calculation with the old lazy crooked.....!" in addition to upsetting the elder brother, Zeus also made up his own mind considering the taste of lemon juice tea earlier, it should taste somewhat different inner Zeus, he felt guilty if the drink was not for him.

😘😘😘

"yes Miss Lily has been here a long time, every time, the color of the little lady matches the attitude of Miss Lily, and the only female friend of the little lady other than the big lady,Young master Deuz is awake but may be taking a bath, we'll prepare lunch..."

"oh once they're so close yeah..alright I'll go upstairs.., thanks bi Mel, you're the best for me and my family....." a kiss of affection landed on the back of the old nanny's hand, which was moved because Zeus and Deuz never forgot her affection, even though her status was only the head of IRT in this family.

Aunt Mel just smiling grabbed a suit from Zeus who understood the woman did not want to make the atmosphere more runyam because this woman since childhood is the nanny to the 3 children of the great master Leonel and Casandra.

Before Zeus's shoes climbed the stairs, there was a sound of the door from the reading room, Kreek,appeared his beautiful aunt who until now was too spoiled and not committed to marriage when he was 28 years old only 3 years older than his eldest brother Deuz.as of today, as is,he was writhing on Zeus's arm no matter how tired the second was.

"uuummmm, take me to the clinic..," Lea looked fashionable with only black jeans and Sabrina maroon, long black hair moving back and forth as she stepped towards Zeus's luxury car,but when her aunt came in and sat down, the two called and handed the keys to the private driver, and stepped towards the side of the door where her aunt was sitting.

"Zeyna should have lunch properly today, Zia Lea knows very well that since yesterday I was busy and always came home late at night,, I want to make up for it today, even without you and mommy.....,,I want to see him eat voraciously, the color I heard the kid didn't want to eat right ever since Daddy and Mommy left the country,,,,, uh,,,so this time please take my car home at 10pm at the latest, otherwise I'll call Uncle Dion...." Zeus smiled waving as Lea raised her glasses with a frown.

" just realized that your sister was sulking with a hunger strike yes, I just wasn't joking, when I apologized, I had persuaded her earlier and now it's your turn, brother Dion is back, I'm sorry,,that's why I went to the clinic.., huhhh...don't imitate Leon and Deuz so that I can arrange ok....!! dadahhhh"

the kiss on the cheek and the smile on the little boy is still a powerful weapon to tempt Zeus not to talk much, he was just a smile amusedly wiping his cheeks and waving, while making his own mind, he said,considering Leah was most afraid of the 3 men in this house, her brother Leon, Dion's sister Caca and Deuz had her firstborn on Zeus no, no,,because this man both has the same taste if he wants something, but something is wrong with the behavior of his little aunt, if you know Dion's uncle back from New York,not a single person would be able to resist sticking to the side of the narrow-eyed uncle,I don't know if Zeus and Deuz have ever discussed this and both suspect the reason Lady Lea is not getting married is because of Uncle Dion.

"sir.,..,..,...,!!" Zeyna's voice from the door surprised Zeus' daydream, the little girl reached out her hand wanting to be hugged, of course welcomed happily by her brother.

"why sulking like this my little girl?hmmnn? are you done with the lessons?" Zeus rubbed the top of the head and returned Zeyna's embrace full of desire that was difficult to resist.

" sister Ze." Zeus touched his sister's cheek, not warm, not warm,but hot.his eyes look red and his lips chapped.directly the man led his sister sitting to the sofa family room.

"tell me since when has your body been this hot?" Zeus looked anxious and looked around the quiet room.

" sister Zeus...don't take me to sit down.I want to go to the park, Zeyna's friend." Zeus of course could not take his sister out of the house if the temperature was this hot.

" what do you feel?, your body is so hot Zeyna ...uuummmn had breakfast and taken your vitamins earlier?" Zeus looked worried as the little girl's eyes dimmed and bit her lips in a soft whisper.

" ssttt...,, I'm not going to call Daddy now...hush up....don't cry......,.bi........aunt Mellllllllllllllll!!!!" their nanny and two maids did not wait to be called twice, in an instant the family room was surrounded by worried and frightened servants with a sharp gaze of Zeus,because since 5 years he was abroad, recently he found the expression of his sister Semerah this if in pain and sulking.

unlike the eldest whose intention was hiding in the bathroom, now rushed to wear clothes when he did not hear the sound of people looking for him.and his instincts were never wrong, he said,as they descended the stairs, there was a noise of the maids frantically doing what Zeus told them to do.

"call the Doctor!!, prepare the car and......why is Zeyna not given vitamins, she is sick like this right??!!!"

zeus' loud voice surprised Andrea who focused on checking Zeyna's duties since then came out of the reading room where she was watching Zeyna private lessons.

"hey....do not panic...Zeyna's dance.." Deuz's heavy voice immediately calmed Zeus who was panicking and continued to hug his sister, while the little brother looked limp in tears.

" bee...., here I am...come here...." Deuz grabbed Zeyna from the arms of Zeus who breathed a sigh of relief, the girl fell silent and stopped sobbing.lastly looked at her eldest brother then her second brother with a sad look.

"Mommy and Daddy don't exist, how could Zeyna have breakfast.,,.don't be so angry at Auntie and the others,.., I'm sad to wake up in the morning there's no one at the dinner table,....I'm Miss Daddy.." The girl made Zeus aware since their parents were in Dubai, no one had breakfast or woke him up early except for aunt Mel or uncle Damar and Sera if she stopped by.

"sorry..., I was also less sensitive earlier when Zeyna learned" it was Andrea's voice that appeared with a sorry look, but Zeus' cold face made the atmosphere even more frozen until his lips said slowly.

" now prepare lunch at the dinner table we eat with all....."

her hands did not stop wiping away Zeyna's tears that did not sob but still shed tears while leaning comfortably in her elder sister's arms.

" Zeyna....., after eating we go to the doctor all the way...mau?" Deuz persuaded with eyes to glance at Lily or Andrea who looked afraid of the look on the face of Zeus who was trying to contact their parents.

"Zeus go change clothes and get off to lunch, Zeyna .. Would you like to eat at the dinner table?" Deuz once again asked his now-moving sister, looking disappointed as he looked at his second brother who had been connected to a foreign call, and ignored his brother's words to change clothes.

" Dad ......, where?" zeus' voice greeted his father who was looking at the screen because he was pulling over the car, now the two husbands and wives were seen in the call Vidio call, which was called,Deuz greeted with a wave and then pointed to the wooden face of their younger brother who immediately sobbed when he saw his father was in the middle of the desert.

"Daddy...." Leon who had looked serious now moved because the voice of his daughter who was heartbreaking to call him home, Maca immediately pointed her face near the husband.

"what's going on baby?, why are you crying?, where's your sister?"

both of them were rather calm when they saw Deuz and Zeus were there with Andrea as well.This is how Zeyna if in staying away, since childhood the child was always taken everywhere by their grandparents, and their grandparents,several times Leon did the same thing, until two weeks ago they were planning to train Zeyna mentally so that she could stay at home to study independently and do therapy alone.

"okay....Daddy will be back soon after solving the problem here baby.....Daddy and Mommy are talking to you now, right?"

"yes yes, promise me Dad.., don't stay in Zeyna alone....I always woke up with a sick head." Zeyna's blushing voice made Deuz realize that his sister's memory had partially returned.

" I am Promise..., we are now on our way to sort out the project in the desert...."

"okay...., Miss mommy...."

"mommy's out in the bathroom for a second we'll call again...."

Leon looks teary-eyed persuading Zeyna, then sees the girl nods weakly and then looks down to wipe her tears in Deuz's aid.

"Daddy must promise to come home soon, it's been 15 days Zeyna did not meet Mommy, can Daddy come home tomorrow???,,please......I'm sick Daddy......, mommy I'm lonely...,....." again, their little daughter's tears tapped into Leon's innermost heart that felt his arm was wet but warm,because his wife had cried at the side and hid the face of his children and opened the door of the car outside to calm his emotions were not good if he heard the sound of mengelasen Zeyna.Zeus who from the beginning had handed hp into the hands of Zeyna to be free to pour out his complaints choosing to leave the family room after giving the code to Deuz to accompany their sister at that time, the cruel-hearted man could not bear to see the full conversation that day,he stepped heavily towards the reading room while unbuttoning his shirt and sitting at Zeyna's study table.

" Mister Zeus.." the voice of Andrea who turned out to follow him secretly surprised Zeus,let alone the foreign greeting even made him confused, his heart was piercing pain, piercing,his loneliness felt in the middle of the desert when he saw the look on the face of his cousin's sister thrust a glass of water not immediately reached Zeus.

"Andrea.....What's the matter with you?, this is your house as well.....stop makes drama like a fool" the sound of Andrea's shoes retreating would then turn to make Zeus even more upset and then pull the girl his age still standing there, right in front of the door that Zeus tightly closed.

" i'd be in a barren, hot desert if you were like this to me!!"
