"Lunch first, after that we go straight to the zoo,"
After having fun and taking a bath, Devan does not want to ignore his hungry stomach. Their stomachs should be filled before continuing other activities that are also enjoyable.
Enjoy the food on the beach again. The difference is, there is no campfire like last night and the atmosphere is also quite crowded because it is not booked just for them.
"Adrian wanted chicken last night, right?"
"Yes, Dad."
Devan handed the menu to his second son. "Pick the right one, no food stories are not spent,"
"Yes, I spent it. But you want to feed Daddy, huh?"
Devan nodded slowly while enjoying the ice cream that Lovi had bought for her. He raised his eyebrows as Adrian approached him. "Why?" devan asked even more puzzled as Adrian stared at his ice cream cup.
"Hasn't that?"
Adrian nodded with a sweet smile. But his hand went to take his favorite drink that Devan put on the table.
"No, this is Daddy's. Don't be greedy, Adrian."
"Little bit. You can, Dad."
"Adrian, how many cups have you finished? Don't take Daddy's,"
Lovi let his son enjoy ice cream as he pleased. Count to eliminate the annoyance Adrian who could not participate in water sports earlier.
Adrian no longer persuaded. Because the ice cream was also devoured by Devan. Devan quickly spent it so that Adrian no longer focused on the ice cream. Let him eat quietly without thinking about ice cream again.
Food arrives and Adrian hands Devan his property for a bribe. Seeing that, Auristella was jealous. He also wants to be fed Devan. So cleverly he put away the plate of the brother then He brought the plate closer to Devan.
Adrian clucked and pinched his sister's hand, but luckily Auristella didn't cry. He even threw a sharp look at his second brother.
"What?! I asked Daddy to feed first. You usually eat with Mommy!"
Lovi massaged his nose slowly. The others are too. Finally Senata tried to persuade Auristella to eat with him if she did not want to with Lovi.
Auristella shook her head, refusing to persuade her grandmother. He keeps his plate in front of Devan no matter Adrian trying to get rid of him.
"If the food spills, Daddy's really angry later huh. Just watch out" the father of three threatened his two children. Devan hopes Adrian understands better than his sister and relents. Because it is impossible Auristella who relented, her last child was really stubborn, if you already have the desire must definitely be obeyed, actually not much different from Adrian. But Adrian should be able to put himself as a big brother, who should be able to let the younger brother get more attention.
"No want! once in a while Auris gave up. I'm also Daddy and Mommy's last child!"
"uh? why that?" akra asked while holding back a laugh.
"Daddy and Mommy's last son. Yeah, don't you, Dad?" Adrian stared at his Daddy hoping for a defense instead of a reprimand.
"Both are Daddy's bribes. Hurry up, sit down nice!" he told Adrian who stood up to do something to his annoying sister.
"I want Daddy to just feed me. Auristella is not!"
Auristella seemed to bite her lips a sign that she was furious because the brother kept pushing away his plate.
"Adrian, what's the difference? what's important is Daddy's bribe, right?"
"No want! Daddy can only feed me for now! every once in a while, Daddy." whine that kid. Devan glanced at the clock in his hand. "Jam one noon. It's worth it she's like this" Lovi nodded. They know very well Adrian's sleeping hours. If he doesn't take a nap, he'll definitely act up.
"We'll just go back to the resort, okay? let you sleep, you're sleepy, aren't you?"
"No want! we have to go to the zoo,"
"But don't upset Daddy, Adrian. If you get sleepy more and more behavior,"
"Auris eat with Uncle only?" bargain Jhico gently but still Auristella will not budge. It seems this child is deliberately judging his brother who currently does not want to share the attention of the father.
"Eat alone, or there's nothing Daddy's bribe at all?" Devan looked at the two sharply. Auristella who did not understand too much just silence, while Adrian began to feel defeated.
"Yes, Daddy can bribe Auris too" he said with a face hard to accept.
Jo shook his head slowly after exhaling, "You guys are really great huh. You can face three different children of this character. I'm the only two kids who are dizzy not playing. There is an intention to add a child?"
Lovi immediately shook his head. He is also stressed about having three children. But Lovi thinks all parents in this world are the same. As much as possible, he did not complain. After all, times like this will not happen again when they grow up.
"Why not?"
"You can see for yourself,"
"But I want to, Lov."
"You conceived, gave birth, and took care of it?"
Laughter was heard after Lovi responded to her husband's remarks. It seems that they have different desires. Devan still feels not enough to have three children, as opposed to Lovi who wants to focus on Andrean, Adrian, and Auristella alone without adding new family members.
"Who are you staring at?" lovi asked as she realized her husband was looking forward. After he asked, Devan quickly turned his gaze to Adrian and Auristella's plate.
Vanilla suddenly whispered to him a few seconds later. "He was your ONS friend first huh? who almost became your lover too, right?"
Devan was puffed in response. When Vanilla wanted to say something again, she shook her head at the sign of not wanting to talk about it. The interaction of the two invites Lovi's curiosity. Not usually the brothers whispered.
When he asked Devan 'What's the matter?', Devan said that if Vanilla wanted one more serving, he was still not full. That answer was immediately trusted by Lovi. He immediately invited Vanilla to order the food he wanted.
*******
All of them get one small container of animal food that they will come to. It's time for enthusiastic kids.
What they will visit first after arriving at the zoo is the place where crocodiles live. They were standing on a bridge and the crocodiles were down there. The bridge is also bounded by solid iron.
"It's meat?"
"Yes, why? you want?"
"Huh! it's crocodile food not my food" Kayla joked as her brother, Genta, spoke haphazardly.
"What meat would you think? honestly I'm disgusted to hold it,"
"Not held, there's a brace. Fucking women! look at it disgust,"
"MAMA, THE MOUTH IS NOISY, MA." Kayla yells to complain to Jo who is walking behind her with her husband, Jhon.
"Well, who gave the food to the crocodiles?"
"No! what if I gave it to him?" ask Genta. "You little boys" replied Jo.
"This has a fence, it is impossible for the culture to jump beyond this high fence. We're on the bridge, too, Ma."
"Yes, already. But careful. Why was Kayla yelling?"
"He's disgusted at holding crocodile food,"
"Now then" though he had held a container, but if his son would not be better, he would give it. So there are two containers that He will give the contents to the crocodiles.
"Not disgusted anymore. I can" Kayla refused firmly because she saw all her cousins were so enthusiastic about this activity.
"Doggie doggie! Hey doggie!"
Adrian calls Kenith who walks behind him, Devan and Lovi's second child wagging the piece of meat at Kenith as if to lure Kenith closer. That made Sandra, Kenith's sister, laugh.
"ADRIAN ASKED FOR HIS MOUTH TO BE WATERED WITH MY MOTHER'S LAUNDRY WATER HUH?!" kenith shouted furiously and chased after Adrian.
Sandra was still chuckling amusedly, Adrian's speech was still ringing in her ear. What else saw Kenith's emotion. Really funny in his eyes.
"Why else are they?" muttered Devan who was walking behind all those children. She walks side by side with Lovi holding Auristella as well as Nindya and her husband, Akra. While a few bodyguards were walking in front guarding the large, distinguished family. Rena, Senata, and Raihan also accompanied their grandchildren, so it was quite surprised also when he realized that Adrian suddenly ran and was chased by Kenith. They did not have time to hear the debate between Adrian and Kenith because they were busy staring at the many crocodiles down there.
"ADRIAN, HEY!" Devan called his son who could not be silent. Adrian immediately stopped his steps but still laughed the same as Sandra.
"Don't be angry, handsome. I'm just kidding," adrian poked with his rancid style. Kenith screeched in disdain as Adrian blinked his eyes intending for Kenith to no longer chase after him and throw out the intention of punching his arm.
"Let's not have a cousin who turns the corner," although a child, he already understood that that's not how a man should be.
Sandra was laughing. "Keep teasing my brother, Adrian!" he cheered on Adrian.
"No, I will be scolded by Daddy, later" Adrian exclaimed. Then he approached his family line following Kenith.
Devan shook his head slowly to see his very ignorant son. Very clever he acted to be a man and a half woman just to dampen the annoyance of Kenith. Kenith immediately retreated, not doing anything to Adrian because Adrian was acting strange like that, resembling a flirtatious woman.
Devan throws the meat that will be a crocodile food towards a group of animals that are famous for their ferocity.
A girl seemed to shout happily beside Devan until it made Devan's ears pangs. Devan turned his head with his flat face, unfortunately the boy did not realize that Devan was disturbed. Even the woman who accompanied the child turned to Devan. Devan froze in place. He could not continue his activities for a while.
"Hi, Devan." greet the woman warmly. Devan's throat was blocked. In front of him right now was Lianne, the girl he had met earlier during lunch with his extended family, a figure whom Vanilla was also familiar with.
"Lianne..."
"Do you remember me?"
Lovi, who was standing next to her husband, had not realized that Devan was busy controlling the flashbacks that were spinning in her brain.
Lovi is too busy to invite Auristella to talk while giving food to crocodiles.
"What's wrong with you?" devan asked after his feelings were normal again. This is the first meeting after a long time Devan separated from the woman who had been a friend of One night stand that he had given more hope but in fact He chose Elea.
Devan asked 'what's wrong?' because he could see clearly that the woman's face was very pale. Lianne smiled faintly then looked back to the front.
"I'm doing fine. How's Elea doing? as I recall the Elea I knew, not her, who was beside you," Lianne said as she glanced at Lovi.
"He's Lovi, my wife."
"Oh, I guess---"
"No, my relationship with Elea didn't go as smoothly as you'd imagine,"
Lianne chuckled softly as she confirmed the location of the knit hat that wrapped her head. The attitude of the woman's body can not be separated from Devan's attention. Devan blinked in surprise when he saw Lianne's slippery head, no hair.
"DADDY, THE FOOD I'M HOLDING IS UP. I ASKED TO HAVE DADDY," cried Adrian who was not far from the existence of Devan and Lianne managed to make the interaction between Devan and Lianne stopped. Devan has not received an answer, and Lianne has left with the child nearby earlier.
Adrian approached the father because Devan seemed silent, staring at the back of a woman who had moved away.
"Dad, can you hear me? I asked for some crocodile food that Daddy was holding, "Adrian grabbed the container Devan was in. After that, he looked back at Devan who looked like a confused person.
"Dad, why?" Adrian pulls the tip of the shirt Devan is wearing and it manages to make Devan wake up from his daydream.
"Oh, no."
"Daddy, weird. Like thinking of something. What's the matter exactly?"
"No, give me that food. All the culture is still starving,"
"It's over, Auris. Glad not to see crocodiles eating?"
Auristella does not understand the meaning of her Mommy question but she knows that Lovi is asking her and wants answers. So he nodded while answering briefly, "Yes."
Lovi smiled and kissed the cheek of the child in her cradle with anxiety. Then he turned to Devan and Adrian, who were looking at his Daddy.
"You're not done yet, Adrian?" lovi asked glanced at the container Adrian was holding. "Whose other container has one? Daddy huh?"
"Yes, I'll be done soon. I went there again yes" said Adrian before returning to approach all his cousins.
"Andrean, throw it far away" said Kenith who was surprised to see Andrean so fast throwing until the meat was thrown to the end of the crocodile residence.
"So that there is also a part. Pity those who cannot come here because they are blocked by their seniors" said Andrean, focusing on taking meat in the container again with his tongs.
"Oh yes, many can not get close to us yes because there are bigger and feared,"
"Yes, that's why I want to be fair,"
Kenith followed the steps Andrean took. Too many crocodiles approach the food source until there are some who have to budge, especially small crocodiles.
********
Adrian just swam to get Jane's hat that fell into the ocean where she swam yesterday. The event that was quite tickling the stomach happened a few moments ago when they were all cycling on the bridge of the inn floating on the sea of water.
Jane asked Adrian for help. At first the boy refused, but because his Aunty had pleaded, he was finally willing to swim despite the risk He had to take another bath later.
After successfully taking Jane's hat, Adrian instead felt cramps at his feet. He could not climb on the bridge, lucky Jhico who immediately nimbly helped.
Devan brought his second son into the room to drain his body. Lovi followed from behind with a feeling of worry and confused with the storyline of the incident until finally the child could be cramped like that.
"Bring it later. Still creaking,"
"Yes, Honey. Now straighten your legs" Devan said after lowering Adrian on the couch.
He sat down and Lovi immediately prepared a shirt and towel to dry Adrian's body.
After successfully obtaining it, Lovi immediately rubbed a towel on Adrian's head. Luckily Auristella was sleeping, so she could focus on Adrian who was just this time crampy. Usually during whatever he swims, never cramp. It was only a few minutes ago why did it break? Devan and Lovi are confused.
Devan massages his child's legs slowly lying down. "It looks like you're cramped because you didn't warm up just now. Jump into it, "Devan just remembered the habit of the child before starting his swimming activities.
"Oh yeah, it looks like my mistake was there,"
"Dad, don't be mad at Aunty Jane. Adrian helped because Aunty said the hat was expensive, even more expensive than Adrian's robot,"
"So he's wrong. No matter how expensive your possessions are, nothing is as expensive as you. You're precious to Daddy, even being made sick like this,"
"I'll get paid if I help Aunty, anyway,"
Lovi snorted when he heard the confession. It is fitting that he was so excited to swim earlier. Because there is something behind his kindness.
"But actually without being rewarded, Adrian will still help. Because Aunty Jane offered, Adrian accepted. Kindness can't be denied, can it, Dad?"
Devan exhaled, trying to patiently face his clever son, making his heart this hot. He is made to worry by his son who wants a gift from Jane.
Their bedroom door was knocked from the outside. Lovi immediately got up to open the door, thinking that Nindya was coming with Auristella. Apparently Jane, without asking for permission, he went straight into Devan and Lovi's room.
Devan looked curious as to who was coming, when he saw Jane, he rotated his eyeballs.
"Why come here?"
"Adrian, I'm sorry I made you this way,"
"It's okay, Aunty. I'm fine,"
"But your Daddy must---"
"No, Daddy won't be mad at Aunty. Yeah, isn't it, Dad? it's Adrian's fault that's not stretching just yet,"
"It's not your fault. In times of panic like that will indeed remember stretching? wrong Aunty Jane could've told you. Why isn't he alone? he can swim too,"
"As long as there are men, then women should not go down directly, Dad."
Lovi, Devan, and Jane are flabbergasted by the short but meaningful sentences in which Adrian's mouth comes out. Didn't expect it would be that much respect Adrian has for women.
"Devan, sorry." she said briefly which made Devan turn his head and look at Jane sharply. "Wish or don't apologize to me? I have a child, Jane. Remember yes,"
"Remember, will always remember, dear handsome sir."
"Wait what else have you not apologized properly? I could've sued you,"
Lovi's eyebrows swooped when she heard her husband's serious remarks. While Jane immediately sneered, "Just a cramp, God. I haven't knocked your son out yet,"
"Oh dare you do that? really iron bars where you are,"
Jane grimaced in fear as she imagined. "Don't do that with cousins. You don't remember how good I am to you?" when Jane brought up, Lovi chuckled amusedly. They're really cousins like Tom and Jerry.
"What's that, Dad?"
"No, you don't need to know. Now tell me what punishment is roughly right for Aunty Jane,"
"Devan, should I be punished? jesus, you should understand that the hat is very valuable to me, so I asked Adrian to help me get it,"
"worthily? what's in that hat?"
"That's Richard's first gift,"
Hearing Jane's reply, Devan immediately clucked and responded, "Have you got in the fog?!"
"Yes, now you know, right? so no punishment should be,"
"Kata Aunty is expensive. Does Aunty know from whom? Uncle Richard told me the price? ah Uncle Richard's showing off as well, as it turns out,"
"Hey, it wasn't him who told Aunty. But Aunty's seen the price at the mall,"
"Whatever that hat is, it's not as expensive as my son. So next time don't repeat, Jane!"
Jane immediately put her hands on the temple with a firm body position like a person who wants to give respect.
"Not punished, right?" jane asked, blinking her eyes. Devan who saw that squinted amusedly. He remembered a long time ago, Jane was crazy about him. Until Lovi was beaten up all-out because he thought Lovi had taken Devan from his hands. Jane was that crazy. I like my own cousin. Lucky now he has the right guy, hopefully. Devan is grateful that his life is no longer disturbed by Jane's attraction to him.
"Devan, can I go out now?"
"WHO FORBIDS YOU TO GO OUT?"
"Gosh, I'm shocked." Jane flinched as Devan called out to her. "Too confident of you. You want to disappear even if I don't care. Get out!" devan's word that made Jane stomp her leg pissed.
As Jane reaches the door, Adrian's voice interrupts Jane, "Aunty, what's the reward for me?"
"So you said you'd think about it first,"
"I've been thinking, Aunty."
Jane turned back and crossed her chest waiting for Adrian to convey his wish.
"What do you want as a reward for your help?"
"The big robot,"
"Huh?"
"CAN'T!" it wasn't Jane who answered, but it was Lovi who exclaimed in disapproval.
"The other one,"
"I want that!"
"Adrian, you already have it in the mansion. Why buy that again?" Lovi grumbled in annoyance. Is there no other desire, which is more desirable?
"There's no reward then," Devan broke up firmly.
"I'm asking for a gift from Aunty, why is Daddy talking like that?"
"Jane, you gotta listen to me!"
"No, Aunty, remember that promise, right? if it's not kept, it'll be more and more sin, Aunty."
Jane looked at the boy and the father in turn. Jane ruffled her hair, confused.
"Jane, don't do it if he asks for a robot. He already has it. One sjaa sudha makes Auris scared every time he enters his room, what else when he has two? may Auris not want to live there, choose to leave," Lovi supports her husband who does not allow Jane to comply with Adrian's request.
"Jane, just be careful if you-"
"Well, finish the vacation we buy a new big robot, so you have two,"
