Just An Illusion

Overzealous

"Big tree" said Alika as soon as he saw someone familiar in his view.

Hearing a small child calling her the big brother of the tree so loudly, then immediately stopped Inara's footsteps instantly. Inara stared back at him with a frowning gaze as well as wondering, who was being summoned by the little boy?

Until then when a familiar face seemed to run closer to him, making Inara then immediately more surprised by it.

"Big tree here too?" alika said with a bright face.

"You... You're in the hospital, right? Can you go home?" inara said she realized that the figure of the little girl in front of her was Alika, someone she had met at the hospital before.

"Of course tree brother, I've done everything you asked me to do and I can finally really go home. Thank you very much." said Laika in a whispering tone at the end of her sentence.

Hearing the words from Alika just now, of course immediately made a smile look out of the natural Inara at that time. Touched with the petite nose of the Little Girl, made the little girl then immediately frown because of the act of Inara just now.

When the two were busy joking, another case with Chris who had just stared at the two with silence. He began to bring his footsteps closer to the two.

This is the first time her daughter is close to someone she just knew, before Alika did not want to be touched or together with other women and men. Making Chris who saw the closeness between the two had just intertwined, of course surprised not to play but could not say anything but just monitor the two.

Inara, who realized that Chris had just looked at him with a strange look, then immediately rose from his place and looked at Chris with a curious look.

Inara smiled in a knot as soon as she found Chris' footsteps stopping right in front of her.

"I'm sorry, I seem to be too anxious with him. Until you are not aware of your presence from then on." said Inara then try to eliminate awkwardness.

Inara was completely unaware of Chris' presence at the time, making her feel a little awkward about it.

"No need to worry I'm happy, I haven't seen a smile on Alika's face in a long time. Just leave her like that." said Chris with a smile with a knot make Inara feel a little awkward because of it.

"Sister, does Big Brother live here?" alika started to attack.

"Yes, Big Brother lives in that unit." Inara replied as she pointed towards the Alvaro Apartment unit.

"really? It's fun to have friends... Can I play in the unit, brother? Can you, brother? Can ya? Can ya?" he said in an urgent tone that made Inara a little confused when he heard the request.

"Alika is not polite to talk like that, come on." said Chris was about to ban his daughter but stopped when he heard the answer from Inara just now.

"It's okay, I'm also free.. If you want, you can join us." said Inara then with a smile with a knot.

Chris, who heard this, took a long breath. He stared at the backs of Alika and Inara who increasingly stepped away from his presence towards the direction where the Inara Apartment unit.

"Women are plain or what? How could he even take a foreign man with his tail to stop by his apartment with that much?" chris said in his heart but while continuing to move his feet following the departure of the two who stepped first in front of him.

From the direction of the kitchen, Inara was walking her feet with a tray containing two drinks, pudding and also some other small food. While Chris seemed to circulate his gaze to the surrounding area as if trying to observe each area of the Apartment unit.

"Have you just moved here?" chris asked right after Inara placed the tray on her living room table.

"Yes only about 2 or 3 days if not wrong, you yourself.. Do you live in this apartment?" ask Inara later.

"My daughter and I live right in your apartment unit, whether it's a coincidence or it's destiny. But obviously I was a little relieved to find the tree Brother that my Princess had been looking for since yesterday" said Chris in a calm tone, the conversation between the two continued for a long time.

"really? But tree brother? Who is the tree brother? Did I?" inara said with a look of a wondering face staring at Alika and Chris alternately.

"Of course, Brother, I know absolutely nothing of Brother's name other than Brother's words about the tree. So I decided to call the tree sister hehehe." said Alika with a fluffy smile made Inara then snorted with annoyance when she heard it just now.

"You are really naughty." said Ibra while pinching Alika's nose, making a small laugh and then heard echoing in the room.

Time continues until without feeling the three play already almost a full day. A laugh could be heard clearly echoing in the middle room area. I don't know what they are discussing to make the three drift deeper again. Alika who is happy to make new friends and then seen running around since then without stopping, making Chris just shake his head to see the behavior of his daughter.

Chris, who was starting to feel thirsty, took the juice on the table and prepared to drink it. It's just that Alika's behavior that was too late seemed to accidentally nudge Chris' elbow, to make the drink spill and wet his clothes at that time.

"Alika! Can you just calm down and not keep running around?" chris said then in an annoyed tone.

Hearing the scream of course made Alika immediately silent in place with a look of a lowered face, making a sigh and then sounding rough from Chris' mouth at that time.

"Had it been, don't be too rude Alika might not have accidentally done this" Inara said then tried to mediate between the two, but Chris who heard Inara defending Alika just fell silent without responding.

"Alika can you please get me a towel that's in my bathroom?" inara said later when he saw Crish's shirt wet because of the drink.

"Okay, sister." said Alika as she began to take steps to leave the living room area.

After Alika's departure from there, Inara then tried to try to clean the drink attached to Chris' shirt by using a tissue. Making Chris who realized the distance between the two was very close then immediately fell silent in place.

Bruck...

"What the fuck?" a voice that surprised both.
