Father to My Son
chapter. 17
tomorrow night, Erin just realized from her sleep that there was no one there only herself.
"so, I went back to the hospital again yeah, and again because of an accident for saving people."
Erin suffered minor injuries due to glass fragments around the hands and feet and minor injuries due to asphalt road on the head. Erin walks out of her room to see if Raka and her mother are there to see her or not, until Erin is unable to walk anymore, suddenly he fell and a man caught him.
"Erin's? you're sober?" asked the man who turned out to be Renaldi who came to see him in the hospital.
"Renaldi?!" Erin is shocked to see him and finally Erin is taken by Renaldi to her room.
"what, your wound still hurts, Erin?"
"it's okay, my wounds don't hurt anymore"
"the second time you've been in an accident to save someone, right?"
"it's okay anyway, it's not as bad as yesterday"
"Erin.a.a...i.." suddenly Renaldi cried and hugged Erin tightly.
"L...my wounds ...re..."
"sorry Erin, a. I'm so sorry. I couldn't do anything about it when I was there. I'm sorry.I know you'd be mad about it, I'm sorry."
"no, it's okay" as she took off her embrace
"it doesn't matter to me. I'm still alive, right? and you also said that I was a strong man, right? then why are you still crying if you know that I'm a strong man?"
"but.a.I"
"you look so sweet when you cry!" erin said while smiling at him
the next day, Erin walked up to the hospital building and 2 small children were playing in a pile of blankets that were being dried. Erin just smiled at them and sat in the chair in the corner of the building.
"what are you doing here, Erin?" ask Aldo who just got to the top of the building
"Aldo? you came alone? where's Renaldi?"
"right now, there's nothing Erin can expect.your mother went to deliver Raka, and Aldi instead told her mother to take care of the cafe."
"no, I'm lazy to work" said Aldo, who was walking beside Erin.
"uh? surely Renaldi will be in trouble yes, because there are two people who did not enter today" said Erin
"don't lie, Aldo!!!" shouted a man from behind the sun-drenched blanket while throwing a bag to Aldo's face
"uh....? what's the matter?" asked Erin who was confused to see it all, and it turned out that the man who threw the bag was Renaldi who had also just arrived on top of the building
"don't be so relaxed in my cafe, Aldo!!!"
"why indeed? your father told me to anyway."
"hey? you should be the one guarding the cafe today, Aldo!!"
"don't fight in the hospital" said Erin, who tried to calm them down.
and before long, Aldo and Renaldi could finally make up. Aldo and Erin were talking to each other and were sitting in that chair, while Renaldi was playing with the children earlier.
"Renaldi is a person who is quite close to a small child huh" Erin said as she watched Renaldi play with the little boy
"yes, Aldi has always been that kind of person"
"uh? since long?"
"yes, that's how he used to say like an adult.he even said, "in the future when I'm a father, I'll make my wife happy later."
"so grown-up..."
"yes, but he looks a lot different now.his attitude, no longer mature.Sometimes he still cries indistinctly, like a child once yes"
"but, I like his current attitude.it seems to prove that he is a gentle person with everyone, my son only likes him.no wonder right?"
"huh..it seems like you don't understand what I'm saying at all"
seen from there, Lita who walked towards them with the same gaze as when they met. Renaldi who approached Erin and Aldo there, was surprised to see Lita who was in front of them.
