Adrian woke up from the sound. His hand that was not attached to the infusion felt numb because of the overstretched head of Vanilla who was asleep. His little mouth was upset.
"Aunty, Aunty wake up! Aunty guard intention Adrian not anyway?!"
Adrian shook his arm to get Vanilla distracted. He groaned with annoyance as the sleepy Vanilla did not open her eyes.
"AUNTY, WAKEUP! ADRIAN'S HAND HURTS!"
The door thumped as Devan walked in with his panicked face. He walked hurriedly towards Adrian whose face was flushed red.
"Why, Honey? Is anyone sick? You looking for Daddy? I'm sorry, Daddy saw Mommy for a second, "Devan didn't breathe while saying that. He was too shocked when from outside the door Adrian's voice sounded shrill. Bad thoughts filled his brain.
"This is Aunty Vanilla sleeping in Adrian's hands. Sick, Daddy," He whines and Devan realizes that there's a human beside his youngest son's ward.
He growled and pulled Vanilla's ear so that she would wake up and no longer hurt her child.
"You're not keeping Adrian even-"
Vanilla clucked and rubbed his ear briefly that hurt. But he didn't open his eyes either.
"Vanilla! Your ears are filled with dirt so you can't hear anymore? Frequent visits to the salon-"
"Devan, noisy! Get out of my room!"
Devan's eyes are round. Jaw hardens. He thinks this is his room? It seems Vanilla has gone too far into the dreamland to forget where she is.
"Aunty, wakeup!"
Finally Vanilla raised his head. He rubbed his ears rough which was painful. Son and Dad are the same. The hobby makes a terrible sound.
"Why, Adrian? Aunty's sleepy,"
"Yes Adrian knows. But don't overlay Adrian's hand. Pain, Aunty! Big Aunty head. Like home," he replied in a shitty style. If he was not sick, Vanilla would have made a retaliation.
"You just go home! Thanks for keeping Adrian," Devan pressed the word 'keep' as if there was a double meaning in it. Because that's not what he should have said. Devan still appreciates his brother. It should be 'hurt' that comes out of his mouth.
"Look, Jane and Andrean alone are still calm in sleep. You always make trouble. Elementary-"
"Of course, don't talk anymore. You just shut up. Your voice is like Adrian's trumpet. My son could get a headache later,"
Devan flicked his hand in the air to drive the girl away from Adrian's side. Vanilla got up with a grumbling face. He slammed his body on the sofa. Want to close your eyes again.
"Yield..."
Vanilla clucked as she growled.
"What else, Adrian? Aunty was told to be quiet. Aunty was silent, still being called,"
"Don't sleep anymore. Just talk,"
Vanilla refused to answer what else did his nephew say. He placed his arms over both eyes and prepared to pick up his subconscious again.
"Talk to your Daddy. His voice was not like a trumpet," He still had time to insinuate. Devan chuckles at hearing it. Apparently the girl was offended by his sentence.
"You're not a child anymore. Don't sulk any longer. No one wants to be your girlfriend later,"
If you have heard 'lover' in the topic of conversation, Vanilla will be more sensitive. Because he was busy trying to understand his own feelings. He is close to a man, He considers that closeness more than friends. But it seems that the man did not welcome Vanilla's feelings, or maybe not yet. So Vanilla is confused, wants to stay in his joy, or give up and choose another man.
"Who are you close to now?"
"Not to discuss that. Your son's ears are long, hearing your talk,"
"Adrian is not an elephant! length where? Aunty held this by herself," Adrian pulled his ear to show Vanilla. He protested when Vanilla indirectly accused him of eavesdropping. Although the reality is so, but do not make Adrian embarrassed, can't you?
Jane moans in her sleep. He raised his head which was beside Andrean's hand.
"What's wrong?" with a stupid look Jane asked. Devan grunted in annoyance.
"I still remember my message to you, I asked you to look after my son. Why are you sleeping?"
"They're sleeping, and then I have to keep staring at the wall until they wake up, right?"
"Indeed, he has no heart. What's wrong with us sleeping?" Vanilla supports Jane's protection of Devan.
"If my son--"
Andrean pursed his lips still with his eyes closed. It is interrupted by the actual debate exaggerated by Devan.
"Dad, Andrean wants a drink,"
Devan immediately took the glass belonging to his eldest son and helped the child to rise.
"You delirious or what? his eyes haven't opened yet but he's been asking for a drink,"
***
"Lovi, how are you? our boss says you're sick, so after work we're straight here,"
Desira and Fifdy come to see Lovi who has not been to work for a few days. After the working hours were up, they immediately went to the hospital.
"I'm fine,"
"Only Madame Senata takes care of you here? where's husband?" Fifdy asked after exploring Lovi's room. He just greeted Senata inside. There's no one else.
"His husband is looking after their children who are being cared for as well,"
Desira looked at Senata with a surprised look. It wasn't Lovi who answered Fifdy's question. Somehow Senata needs to say that so that Devan is not bad in the eyes of Lovi's friends.
"The twins are sick too?" Desira turned to Lovi who immediately nodded.
"What pain?"
"Fall down the stairs" Senata answered Fifdy for the second time. His tone was flat like restraining an upset. He remembered this man very well. As a teenager, Fifdy once told him blatantly that he liked Lovi. Those who are friends make Fifdy hesitant to tell Lovi honestly. He asked for help from Senata.
Even if it's been a long time, Senata still has to create boundaries. What else he saw Lovi looked indifferent even though it could be seen clearly from the man's gaze that he had a pent-up feeling for Lovi.
"Can you visit them?" Desira asked carefully. He knew their families were not random. There was a limit to visiting the two children.
"By, Desira. If it's not all right, Devan won't roar. You guys just calm down,"
Lovi held back his laughter as Senata said that. He did not realize that behind the sentence Senata there is a meaning of its own. It was aimed at Fifdy who may still intend to have Lovi.
