The stars have graced the sky for a few hours. Darren Darrel has also fallen asleep in his room. But not with Gara. The man is still struggling with his work in the workspace.
"How can I get in?" Alula stood in front of the door with a cup of coffee in her hand.
"Just get in."
The woman pushed the door and entered. He put a coffee cup on the workbench. Then we headed to the sofa in the room.
"Are you not sleepy?" His eyes remained focused on the documents he had in his hands.
"I haven't felt sleepy. Am I bothering you?"
"No. I just feel more excited."
The spirit to quickly leave this job. Oh, my God, Alula, you're keeping me from focusing on getting this done.
Alula plays her phone without knowing, if Gara keeps stealing glances at her. The man was completely unfocused on his work.
Suddenly his brain remembered Alula's promise. As he tries to free Ana and Tari from Gara. With a quick movement, Gara tidied up her documents and approached Alula.
She sat down and hugged Alula. The woman was surprised and looked at him.
"What's wrong? Don't be like this."
"Why hmm? You want to reject me? Didn't you promise to obey me?" He said while peeping at Alula's cheek.
"Y-yes. I will obey your will. But please let go."
Gara according. He let go of his embrace and looked at Alula. "Are you still afraid of me? Or don't want to be close to me?"
"It's not. I will keep my word. Let's say, what do you want?"
"With me to sleep."
"Well?!"
"Don't think anything. I won't do anything rude to you. I just want you to accompany me to sleep. Since you've been living here, I've had a hard time sleeping."
"I'll accompany you. But where did you sleep?"
"In my room. Where else?"
Alula's eyes were round hearing it. With a slight smile, he looked into Gara's eyes.
"If it's just Darrel's room, how about it?" Bargain Alula. Actually he felt bad about being in the room with Gara. He can't predict Gara's heart and mind. So, he should be vigilant.
"Huh, it still looks like you're scared of me. But, no problem. Let's go to Darrel's room."
Alula and Gara immediately go to Darrel's room. On his way there, Gara lay to the left of Darrel and Alula to the right of Darrel. Despite that, Gara's hand could still reach Alula's body. He hugged Alula, though not completely.
***
Darren and Darrel stand at the school gate while crucifying Gara and Alula. The two children looked at Gara's face.
"Dad, we're going home with Uncle Gio."
"Uncle told me last night." Darren.
"Yes, you can go home with him."
Alula who heard him smiled at once in wonder. Since yesterday, Gara looks familiar with Gio and Sadam. I don't know what happened so Gara could get along with Gio.
"Dad, what about the plan?" Darren whispered to Gara.
"Just wait. I've prepared it." The reply whispered.
After the twins entered, Gara and Alula immediately headed for the office. And as usual, if Alula is angry with Gara, then he will get off at the stop and continue by riding the car and driver that Gara prepared.
Alula who was about to go down was detained by Gara. He approached and kissed Alula. "Meet me in the room."
Alula replied with a nod and a smile. The smile that Gara made was unrelenting to keep thinking about it.
The clock's needle is spinning fast. Without feeling it, it's time to go home from school. Darren Darrel is standing at the gate waiting for Gio.
The black car that stopped made Darrel smile happily. "Why old uncle?"
"really? Uncle thinks it's only 5 minutes late."
"5 minutes 58 seconds. Counted 6 minutes." Darren.
"Yes, the wrong uncle. Come aboard. We eat and uncle takes a tour, just returned home. Okay?"
"Okey, uncle."
"Yes." Yeah."
Gio immediately drove his car to the dining area. Spend a few minutes there, then continue walking as promised. They tried various games in the mall. Until it was not felt, the day had begun to afternoon.
"Come, home. Your father will go on a rampage with uncle."
"Come on. Next time, come play again, uncle." Celtap Darrel.
"Okey."
"Take Dad, Mom, aunty and aunt." Darren.
"Vacation dong means."
"Papa NGO. More fun to play."
"Yes. Come-ayo. We have to arrive before your father arrives."
Gio, Darren and Darrel head for the car. The three arrive home before Gara and Alula arrive.
"Hour 5."
"Then uncle will go home first."
"It's 3 o'clock as thick as I'm going home. Uncle wait here."
"Yes, uncle just wait." Connect Darren.
"Uncle does not have the same needs as your parents. It's late afternoon, uncle's body has smelled of sweat since."
"My house has an empty room, same stock of new clothes. You can use it." Sahut Gara's.
No matter when, Alula and Gara were already in the same room as them.
"Dad, when did you get home? I didn't snort Dad's car towel."
"You're so busy arguing that you don't hear it."
"I agree with Dad. Uncle shower and change clothes here first." Darren.
"Yes, you can come home after we have dinner together."
"Ah, no need Alula. You just got home from work. Must be really tired. Don't bother."
"I don't feel lost. Anyway, you should stay here until dinner. After that, you can go."
Gio took his breath. He could not refuse Alula's request. Slowly he nodded, saying Alula.
***
Gara and Gio chat in the living room while enjoying snacks that Alula bought.
"What about your efforts?" Ask Gio.
"My life is good."
"Thank you for taking care of Alula and the twins."
"Huh, what the fuck are you. Don't look pathetic like this." Reply Gio with a slight chuckle.
"I'm not kidding, Gio." Gara's gaze immediately turned cold.
"Yes, you're the same. Taking care of someone we love is the most important thing."
Hearing the words of love that Gio spoke, made Gara glare at him. The man chuckled slowly again.
"No need to glare at me like that. I have Ana now. Won't take Alula from you. But if you hurt Alula, I'll take her away from you."
"I won't hurt her, no matter what." Answer with great certainty.
Despite the thank you, Gara and Gio went back to talking about something else. Suddenly from the front, Darren and Darrel come with Gara's father, Ginanjar.
"Well, grandpa came." Shouted Darrel.
"Dad seen it. You don't have to scream." Tegur Darren's.
"Dad? Why is dad here?" Gara.
"What's wrong with Dad here? I miss my grandchildren so much. So you came here." His word. "Where's Alula?"
"Alula in the kitchen."
"Emmm... Who's she?" Ginanjar set his sights on Gio.
"He's the one who's been looking after Alula and the twins all this time."
Ginanjar who had been standing was sitting near Gio. Beside him was Darren, and on his lap was Darrel.
"Thank you for taking care of them." Ginanjar.
"Sama-sama sir. We should've helped each other."
Alula came from the kitchen with a tray of drinks. His surprised face could not be hidden when he saw Ginanjar.
"Dad? Since when is dad here?" Say, put the tray and then switch to kiss Ginanjar's hand.
The middle-aged man smilingly received Alula's courteous treatment. His son, not kissing his hands.
"You're smarter than Gara." Sindirnya while patting the top of Alula's head slowly.
Because it just flicked its lips and twisted the lazy eyeball.
"I'll make you a drink for Dad." Said Alula, aware if he only brought two drinks.
"Not necessary, not necessary. I've had too much to drink today."
"I'll get you some water."
"Yes, that's better."
After Alula left, Ginanjar looked back at Gio. He was interested in the boy. There was a bond between them that he could not explain.
"Where do you work?"
"I have a cafe, sir."
Alula came back with a glass of water for Gara's father. "It's Well." Alula put in front of him. The woman sat down next to Gara.
Gio glanced at Ginanjar who was gulping down the water. Suddenly his heart shook. He grabbed it from his pants pocket which happened to have a car key in it. Make the car keys interested and fall to the floor.
It caught the attention of everyone in the room, especially Ginanjar and Gara. The two pairs of eyes continued to focus on Gio's car keys, especially on hanging his car keys.
