JUST HUG ME FOR A SECOND

The Strange Woman

The night when everyone was asleep when Caroline woke up Evan was already asleep on the long sofa in the room.

Caroline tried to get off her bed slowly and approached Evan. Slowly he sat down crouching until his face could be faced with the face of Evan who was asleep. It felt like he was touching that handsome face right now, but he did not dare to do that.

'I feel alien to my own son. Oh my god, let me hold her for a little while one day before I leave, ' her inner whisper was hopeful. A moment the clear droplets spilled also flowed on her beautiful face, until it touched Evan's face. Evan moves from a deep sleep position and Caroline hastily leaves before Evan wakes up. Sure enough, just as he was already away Evan woke up.

But he fell back asleep by turning his body to the back of the long sofa that looked uncomfortable to him because it was not long enough for Evan's body to level.

A smile rose on Caroline's lips. He turned to look at Liam. He approached the handsome toddler. He looks good in his sleep with a bandage over his temple. Caroline touched the face with a warm smile from her lips.

"He looks like his father. A clever boy, "good as he gently rubbed the handsome face.

Without Caroline noticing Evan woke up and was staring at Caroline with a suspicious look. As Caroline turned to look at Evan, Evan immediately closed his eyes as if he were asleep.

Early in the morning, early in the morning Aluna had come with a bushel of food that he brought. Liam seems to have been handled by his sister. Caroline woke up and she was sitting on her bed.

"Where, Buk? Did you go out?" aluna asked kindly as she approached Caroline and prepared a warm porridge for her. "This is my cooking, I made it at home. I like it, yes. Good for my mother to recover quickly," said Aluna with a smile. Caroline looked at him warmly and a thin line of smile was visible.

"Thank you. I'm a hassle, huh?" sunggan. Aluna quickly nodded.

"No. This is not how much with what mom has done for us. Sorry also because we have a vacation mom so messy," said Aluna with a deep look. 'Van, she's your mother. Van, he missed you. May you accept it, yes, ' Inner Aluna with a deep gaze. Caroline is confused.

"Why, son?" ask him kindly.

"Ah, no. I was just surprised how her Indonesian mother was so fluent, yes," asked Aluna to cover up her true feelings.

"Oh, that. I like this country. My ex-husband is Indonesian, I have a son here. I'm here to see my son that's not for a vacation" Caroline said honestly but not explicitly. A moment Aluna's smile faded away changed with a shocked face. For a moment he glanced at the newly awakened Evan. He quickly turned to Evan.

"Darling! You're awake" said Aluna approaching Evan. Evan slowly tried to sit up, his body was still limp because he was not fully awake from his sleep. He woke up because the atmosphere of the room sounded already crowded. She couldn't sleep all night because she was worried about Caroline. Evan stared intently at Caroline, Caroline returning him with a warm smile. Evan did not return the smile, he instead stared at the arrival of Aluna beside him who was wrapping her hands in his arms. Evan touched his wife's face with a smile.

Caroline stared at the husband and wife's warm interactions, she was happy to see her son's life look so happy and perfect.

"I brought you breakfast" said Aluna. He immediately took his meal plan.

"Later on, I haven't cleaned up yet" Evan said rising from his position. When stepping into the bathroom Evan had a glance at Caroline. She still feels weird about Caroline's attitude last night.

Dea at her ripe age is still unmarried. Making him spend more time with Aluna and her children, even he did not care if Evan kicked her out. He's already immune to Evan's swearing and chattering. Even making out in front of him was no longer able to drive him away anymore. So that Evan can only resign with the presence of Dea among them. Even though Evan doesn't really like Dea, he's more like teasing Dea.

"Abang Lee pinter yes, no cry anymore," Jamia praised her best friend's son. Aluna was there accompanying Liam.

"The same candidate-in-law where he dared to cry. If at home other mah story buk doctor. I've got him," chirped Dea who happened to be there. Immediately answered by Liam.

"Udah, De. Lo mah make a mess if dateng,"

"Onty De nyebelin, Mother," cried Liam. "Udah told you not to say that. Dad says Liam is still a child can not date," hit-and-liam did not accept to make Jamia immediately mediate.

"Yes, yes, Liam can't date. Later in dad's temper. Onty De this later if naughty continue to be injected, will you?" sahut Jamia defended Liam, who was very close to Liam because his second daughter was in the same school as Liam. Liam is already in school in early childhood although he rarely comes because of his unruly attitude. He's going to school when he's in the mood. At school he is famous as the leader of the game, his mischievous attitude is sometimes inversely proportional to his loving attitude and strong leader, as in derived from his father's character.

Aluna who was laughing so jokingly in the room unconsciously made Caroline smile happily and was very happy to see her granddaughter's close interactions with people who loved her.

He also noticed how delicate his son's wife was and the happiness of this little family. This should have been enough for him, but he still missed one warm hug of his son.

'All right, I'll try to get that sincere out of you, son. After that mom will go, Caroline's inner.

In his office Evan was still thinking about Caroline. She still remembered how Caroline cried before her last night with her teardrops and she also looked at Liam warmly.

'Is it possible that he can help Liam because he has been lurking for a long time. So he could swiftly help Liam. Who her? What purpose?' inner Evan in his room alone while tapping the ballpoint pen in his hand while thinking.

At the hospital Aluna came to see Jamia.

"When do they get to go home?" aluna asked Jamia.

"Two days to go home, Liam is not bad. Carolin's mother also seemed to have just sprained her hand. Later I help take care of it so hurry up the business," said Jamia friendly.

"Thank you, yes" said Aluna. Jamia nodded.

"Eh, yes first. I want to check the ward first" Jamia said. He resumed his work to control patients in the ward and Aluna returned to Liam's ward.

SERIATE...
