"Had played enough. Later tired,"
The hoverboard pace was stopped by Rena. Auristella pouted looking at her Grandma. He did not want to be finished being chased by the police.
"Come, down! set a good example for your sister" he told the two boys who were actually heavy-hearted to get off the hoverboard. But since his sister had just recovered, they had to completely take care of her condition.
Auristella pulled the end of the T-shirt Adrian was wearing, she shook her head. Raihan stomped his feet on the hoverboard when Adrian had obeyed Rena's words.
"Even, tomorrow again."
Auristella whines no. He maintained Adrian's position to remain standing on the toy.
"Yes, already. One more time,"
"JEANAYY!" the three compact exclaims. With a fierce spirit Adrian went back to the hoverboard because this toy will be stored and they can no longer touch it if not tomorrow.
"DADDY'S COMING. HELLO, EVERYBODY!"
Auristella seeks the source of the sound. When he saw Devan was walking with Lovi holding hands, he noisily wanted to go down.
"Gosh, since when did Auris get to play that?"
"Newly, Lovi." replied Vanilla.
Because his sister can not be silent anymore, Adrian finally finished the game earlier. Mommy and Daddy have arrived.
"Sit down, Lovi."
"Yes, Ma."
"When do you check again?"
"Three more days, Pa." Devan answered Raihan's question. Lovi was asked to come back again to check on his progress.
Auristella ran over to Lovi and hugged her Mommy tightly. The same thing both of his brothers did. They seem to miss Lovi a lot. Like I haven't seen each other in a long time.
"Mommy's Miss?"
"It's a miss" Andrean and Adrian compactly replied.
"If there's no Mommy, no one's chatty?"
They nodded innocently. It invites laughter. While Lovi grunts. So actually misses his figure or his chatty mouth?
"It's better there's no Mommy huh? you can be free to do anything,"
"Well, who said that? they are also strictly regulated by us," argued Senata who is possessed by Raihan and Rena.
"Good, Grandma. Don't be careless about keeping these three kids. What's more number two," Lovi's hand swiped at Adrian's chuckling nose.
"You can play with your two brothers, right? hmm?" Lovi was anxious to see Auristella's round cheeks that had begun to color. He thought it was still very pale.
"Mommy is really worried when you hear you're sick. It's so much fun to make Mommy worry. Not anymore, huh?"
*******
"Mom, it looks like something's missing from Mommy,"
"Hmm? what's?"
"Mommy's teeth,"
Devan couldn't help but laugh. Devan's laughing voice may be all the way downstairs. They are now preparing to sleep. But suddenly Adrian said a sentence that had revolved around his head.
Lovi is squeaking sharply at her husband. Damnit damnit! He is laughed at by Devan because his teeth are broken and his son realizes it. Of course, they always coexist. Anything that feels awkward will be found out.
"This is why Mommy was treated,"
Lovi did not elaborate. His son did not need to know about the accident. Enough to where Lovi was sick and then had to undergo treatment in the hospital.
"Geez, why did it go that way, Mom?"
Devan's laughter is still there. Lovi hit her husband's arm to shut up. Lovi is embarrassed and does not accept when Devan teases him.
"Can it break so, Mom? fortunately not very visible,"
"Yes, if you look like one, you'll be embarrassed. Right so?"
"No! what is shame for? all humans will lose their teeth. That's what Adrian knows,"
"Dad, get some milk."
"Daddy make it first, prince."
Devan puts his right hand on the temple like a salute. He soon rose to obey the wishes of his eldest son.
"Actually Andrean can make his own milk,"
"Then why ask to be made?" ask Lovi slowly. Because his youngest son has been asleep since.
"Want to be made, Daddy. Can't it?"
"Andrean spoiled,"
"Hey look at yourself before the comment. You just can not be separated from Mommy's embrace since then," He pointed to Adrian whose hand is always wrapped around Lovi's small body.
"Mommy can't laugh too wide huh?"
"Yes, why? you want to make Mommy laugh all night like this?"
Adrian shook his head and drowned his head in the recess of Lovi's neck. It was time to take refuge in an embrace after a few days of not feeling it. He and Andrean always slept with both grandmothers after Lovi and Devan left. Then when Auristella was sick, only Raihan became their sleeping companion.
"Want a warm drink, Lov?"
"No, I'm going to sleep now."
Lovi growled softly. He did a frantic throw a pillow at Devan who was pouring the baby's formula into his bottle. Devan turned to flirt until he didn't realize he was pouring into the table, not into the bottle. Lovi who saw that then scolded her.
"Don't be busy pissing people off. Look what you're doing!"
"O Daddy, what a pity the milk. Can't pour in or his eyes are sleepy?" grumbled his second son. Even though only one spoon was wasted, Adrian kept the calculation.
Devan immediately cleaned it using a sheet of tissue. That made Lovi angry again.
"It doesn't take that much tissue, God. You always throw things to waste,"
Devan sneered softly, "Son and Mother are the same. This is not much,"
*****
"I guess if Auris is cured, Aunty doesn't come here anymore,"
"Not happy that Aunty's coming?"
"It's nice, but it's not usually Aunty comes around a lot,"
Vanilla no longer replied to her nephew. He soon entered the mansion, leaving Andrean, Adrian, and Auristella playing in the yard with their nurses.
"Morning has come. What's the matter?"
"There's nothing. I just want to come in the morning. At nine o'clock I'll go to college,"
Raihan improved his sitting position, hinting Vanilla to sit in front of him, accompanying him and Devan to enjoy breakfast.
"Is there a problem with Jhico?"
Raihan can find out the burden of his daughter's mind from the look of the eyes and the look of Vanilla's face that has been two days now looks weak and routine visits to the mansion. After marriage, he rarely came to the mansion.
Yesterday Jhico didn't pick up Vanilla either. Vanilla says that Jhico has important business so he goes home alone to the apartment.
"Talk, don't run here" her brother said. Devan has learned more than Vanilla, whose household has only been a few months. If you keep avoiding, when will the problem end?
"I want a story, Pa,"
"Please, Papa listen well,"
As Vanilla recounts her series of debates with Jhico, Devan is just a listener. Apparently they have a problem, so why was it evasive?
Seeing Vanilla so passionate about telling her domestic problems as well as defending herself, Devan immediately finished his meal and sipped some drinking water for a moment.
"Vanilla, anyone would do the same to Jhico if a loved one fell ill and we weren't by his side. She did that out of being too worried about her grandmother,"
"You should be grateful to have a man who loves family so much" added Raihan who slightly made Vanilla stunned.
"You're married, think grown-up. Papa Jhico's anger is still reasonable. He didn't do anything to you,"
"Scoff me, Pa. I almost cried,"
"You're used to being yelled at. In the past, Papa always did that when you came home at night. Forgot already?"
"Vanilla used to be treated gently by Jhico, Pa. So being yelled at once is directly brought into the heart. It shouldn't be, Vanilla."
"I did the right thing. I don't want him to argue with his father. I think it's better not to be told, than they're back fighting,"
"What's the problem? Jhico often argues with Thanatan?"
Vanilla did not answer. He was thinking. He is worried that the answer will later violate the privacy in his household life.
"The Jhico family is not as harmonious as our family, Pa."
"If it's like that, you should support him. Let Jhico determine the attitude, do not you manage. It doesn't matter if Thanatan wants to make a fuss again, but make sure Jhico is strong. You're the support,"
"But they were very warm the first time they came here" Devan said in his arms, which moved to wipe away traces of drinking water around his mouth.
"I didn't even think,"
"What are they fighting about? it must have something to do with Thanatan's selfish attitude. Papa's sure,"
"many things. The Jhico family often makes the atmosphere uncomfortable. I've only known them since the beginning,"
********
After returning home from school, Andrean and his sister immediately changed clothes and ate lunch greedily. Every school is always packed with food.
"Serry, get my hoverboard ready?"
"Please prepare," Lovi's correction firmly. His son will grow up but things like this should not be forgotten.
Serry took out what Adrian asked for. Auristella who was eating on Lovi's lap, immediately stopped chewing. He looked at Adrian inside.
"Don't come with me to play, I beg you. If it's you, it's less fun" Adrian knows his sister wants to get back together.
"Start again disturbing his sister. It can't be like that to my own sister. Since yesterday your attitude has been different from Auristella's. Mommy thinks it's gonna last a long time,"
"Depends, Mom. If Auris wasn't naughty, I'd be good."
"Auris ever naughty? isn't that you?"
"Yes, I'm Mom. But Auris has started to follow,"
"Ayeah?"
"Yes, when he was told to stop playing, he started fighting,"
Lovi held her youngest child affectionately. Apparently Auristella has started to be difficult to manage. He is not even a year old. It's a sign that Auristella will grow up like her second sister. Stubborn, can not be silent, but sometimes able to make the mood of others for the better.
