Kiss

The clock has shown at 23:00 wib. The sound of the door creaking rang out at a glance as someone opened the door slowly, with Gean's slow steps entering the house and locking it back up.

Always, if he came home the night without news, then Ladira was already in the living room with the tv on while waiting for him, whether Ladira was asleep or not. But something was different this time, the girl was not waiting for him. The living room is spacious.

"Just come home?"

Gean's eyes caught onto the origin of the voice interrogating him, just above the stairs stood a woman whom Gean certainly knew very well. "Mama!"

Winda walked up to Gean and immediately gave a jewel to his first son. "Where did you just get home at this hour? You don't even go home with Ladira, he's home alone and you don't care!" wida's jolt was getting stronger to pick out Gean's reddened ears.

"A-wh, mah. Lepasin, sick," Gean screeches to hold Winda's wrist, asking to be released.

"Huaa, mama." Lian's cry broke out, while running and directly hugging Vinda's leg. Making the woman reflexively let go of her jewelry and switch to hugging Lian who was still crying hugging her.

Winda carried Lian while wiping off the trail of her youngest son's tears, "Lian why cry?" Tanya Winda patted Lian's back softly to ease her cries.

"M-ama ja-ngan angry brother," said Lian as he pleased and then reached out his hand asking that Gean hold her.

Gean smiled at his sister who was very dear to him, "it's not papa, already" said Gean welcomed his sister who asked to be carried.

"Udah Lian yes, don't cry. Mama did not make brother sick really, now Lian back to sleep well," said Winda after a while Lian's crying subsided.

Lian shook her head, further tightening her embrace on Gean's neck. It seems like the boy misses his older brother so much that they rarely meet. "You sleep with Gean's brother also not Dira," muttered Lian slowly.

"Yes already, if that's the time after Dira brother yes. Lian don't make brother Dira wake up," said Winda peeked Lian's chubby cheek.

"You don't like this one kid's kiss, either" Gean said. Making Winda pinch Gean's waist plan. His anger was immediately disappeared when he remembered the pampering of his son this one back as before.

"Udah has a wife who still asks for a kiss with mama anyway," said Winda who still kissed the gnarly cheek of Gean.

Gean laughed crisply, "later Gean asked deh ma. Night mama is beautiful," Gean left Winda shaking, looking at the behavior of his two children. Well, the anger better be muted tonight.

Chequelek

The door of the room opened, revealing Ladira who was soundly asleep on the bed. Slowly Gean laid Lian beside Ladira.

"Silver wants to take a shower first, don't make a fuss. Okay," Gean gave his thumbs up, with a thumbs-up back from Lian who nodded.

After removing the jacket and taking some clothes and towels, the man walked towards the bathroom and began to clean his body. About 10 minutes passed, he came out.

"Eh, why sit there!" gean reflexively squeaks, seeing his sister occupying Ladira's stomach and lying comfortably on his wife's body. Gean thinks Lian is interrupting Ladira's sleep, but the girl is awake and lets Lian lie there.

Ladira only glanced at Gean who was approaching and sat on the edge of the mattress. "Lian sleeps yuk, it's late at night," Gean's pinta was directly obeyed by his sister who immediately lay beside Ladira.

"Here," Lian pulled the black t-shirt that Gean was wearing, just as the man wanted to get away from there.

"So I'm not sleeping on the couch."

Lian shook her head resolutely and wanted to cry, what a little boy would be so possessive if he missed his older brother so much.

Looking at Lian's reddened eyes and wanting to cry, Ladira became a little unbearable, "quick to sleep, it's late at night," ladira said to Gean who was replied by a nod to the man who understood the Ladira code so as not to make Lian cry.

All three sleep on 1 bed the same, like parents who sleep with one child in the middle of them.

"Sir Dira, want a kiss," Lian smiled looking at Ladira who was smiling anxiously towards him. One kiss landed on Lian's cheek, making the boy smile happily.

"Why don't you kiss Dira?" Asked Lian with his emblem, making the two people called his name speechless.

The man tried to be calm with a slight chuckle, "no way." Gean shook his head with a slow pinch of Lian's cheek.

"If that's why Lian won't sleep," Lian waved her lips and turned to sit down.

Time was very late and Lian did not sleep at all, considering that this time was not good for Lian's health, Ladira approached and briefly peeked at Gean's cheek. "Yeah, Lian's asleep," Ladira pinta tried her best to neutralize her sudden, fast heartbeat."

Gean pecked for a moment, the brief moment made a strange swish on him, making Gean's lips twitch and want to escape the smile there, but he tried to hold it.

"That's Dira's sister who loves kiss, Lian will ask Ean's brother who loves," said Lian to sing her lips.

Ladira scratched his head that was not itchy, could-can Ladira not digest the words Lian well. It's bad, where Ladira first started.

"Can?" Tanya Gean asked Ladira for her approval.

The girl was silent for a moment, a strange shame mixed with taste still shrouding herself. But Ladira wanted this to quickly end and nodded in agreement, after all just cheek no more.

Gean's face approached, making the man's breath gently pierce Ladira's cheek.

Cup

Lian clapped her hands and immediately lay down between her two brothers. "Lian sleeps" said the boy, as if the short spectacle was a bedtime drama for him.

Because it felt awkward because Lian who was already lying down and trying to sleep, made an atmosphere of silence between them. Ladira immediately lay down, leaving Gean who was still sitting watching the two people who were already lying there.

A few minutes, a subtle snoring sounded from Lian who was already asleep. But not with Ladira who had not been able to close his eyes when the room lights had not been turned off, he wanted to turn it off, but since then Gean was still at home in a sitting position.

"Ra, I know you haven't slept yet," Gean turned his head, catching Ladira who turned out to be watching him, making the girl nervous herself as she was caught noticing Gean.

"Just to say, if I've started trying to learn Nerima Laras. So, while I'm still learning and haven't fully put my heart to him, for the remaining 6 months, I'll wait until you give me one answer."

Because he never got a response from his interlocutor, Gean lay down and immediately turned off the lights.

"Sorry."

The eyes that were originally closed, were immediately open. Hearing that one sentence made Gean frown. "For?"

"Lo's close to Laras, if I follow to nerima Danael so my girlfriend. Wrong or wrong, I felt stupid at that moment. I have a husband, but I have a boyfriend" Ladira replied.

Gean chuckled, "no need to feel guilty. Not just you, but I'm just as stupid. But, if indeed the road is good for us to finish the time for the remaining 6 months, we walk according to the plot and wait for the final result." Gean turned to find Ladira who turned out to have been flooded with tears.

Gean's hand stretched out to wipe away the trace of tears on Ladira's cheek, leaving the girl stunned. "Before regret at the end, if God had kept us together, He would have made a gap that would bind us forever Ra."
