My Dearest Brutal Young Miss

S2 - Agility

The next day, James visits Rey and Bobby's shop. The shop is finished in the renovation after the robbery and Rey has returned to activities, but Bobby still has to keep Erika in the hospital.

"Hi James, you don't usually come here" Rey said with a warm smile, Rey had called James by his name after he was no longer working at the restaurant.

"Restauran is not open yet, there is still 1 hour for me to relax" said James and sat in one of the chairs in front of the bar.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" guess Rey, because there's no way someone like James could have come into his place without a clear purpose.

James grinned, he likes Rey who is always to the point. Rey stared fixedly at James, he was a little curious about the thing that brought James to his shop.

"I'm getting married to Anne" said James, Rey smiling happily.

Rey is not surprised by what James says because he is a man who is quite old and ready to get married.

"Then what's the problem?" ask Rey.

"Emm. I'm so scared of Anne's parents' rejection. Look at me, I deserve to be his uncle" said James, he did look less confident than Jamess' true self.

This may be what has kept her unmarried to this day. That's what Rey thinks.

"You haven't tried it yet and are already terrified? Come on, James, you're a mature, mature man. Anne's confident enough to choose you as her future husband, you just need a little courage to meet Anne's parents" Rey suggested.

"It's not that easy Rey.." lamented James.

"What are you thinking?"

"If Anne's parents disagree then my relationship with Anne will also end" James rubbed his face rough, he was a grown man in love.

"I don't think so." said Rey, making James' eyes on him.

"I don't think Anne's parents were constrictors and coercors, because as far as I can tell Samuel and Yasmin can get married because there's already agreement from Sam's parents. They are quite understanding with the relationship of his children, at least that's what I have in mind" Rey said, recalling the events of the past.

James thought for a moment, he seemed to be weighing something in his mind. Rey glanced nosily at James, the cold man looked very confused and needed help.

"Are you going to settle for just being in a relationship without marriage for the rest of your life? If you take too long then there will be other men who will propose to her seriously" Rey starts provoking, James turns to Rey again and cliques annoyed.

"I don't like it when I'm in this state of worry" said James, putting his face on the bar table.

"You're here apparently! I've been looking for you at the party ever since!" Anne came with a slightly irritated face.

James raised his face with a nervous expression, Rey smiling at James's face.

"Let's go back to the restaurant, a lot of things to prepare" Anne pulled James' hand.

"Sir Rey, thank you for exchanging your thoughts with her" said Anne, nodding her head, Rey smiled and waved at James who was forced to carry by Anne.

♥️♥️♥️

"Darling... Don't you get tired of sleeping continuously?" whispered Bobby while wiping Erika's hand with a wet washcloth.

"Our son was born, I gave him the name Star. You must like it? That name fits where we often say our wishes at night, you also like to see the sparkle. Get up and see him darling" those words almost every day Bobby whispered into his wife's ear.

There is no sign Erika will respond to what Bobby said but Bobby is always sure his wife will return as before. It only took a little patience and a strong conviction from within his heart.

"Bobby.." Jiraiya came to bring Bobby lunch.

"Dad has arrived? Did you sleep well?" Bobby was a little worried about his father-in-law's condition.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine. You eat first, I want to talk to Erika"

Bobby nodded and obeyed Jiraiya's orders. Jiraiya replaced Bobby sitting next to Erika's bed.

"Erika.. I just saw your daughter, I'm grateful she's a strong baby just like her mother. I really want to be able to quickly bring my granddaughter home and play with you too. Do not linger in your long sleep, many people long for your smile and sweet babble" Jiraiya also always strengthen Erika, she does not want to shed tears because it will make Erika sad.

Bobby eats lunch while watching Jiraiya, the old man looks like a father who lost half his soul when Erika was unconscious. But now Jiraiya is more rigid, he always prayed to God so that Erika immediately realized because Jiraiya believed God always heard the prayer of His servant who begged.

"Excuse me sir, it's time for Madame Erika's examination" a nurse came, Erika should always be checked regularly.

Jiraiya nodded, standing behind the nurse who was examining Erika.

"Will my daughter be aware today?" the question that Jiraiya asked the nurse every day.

The nurse replied with a smile as usual. Jiraiya sighed, he glanced at Bobby who was having lunch with a hearty glance. Jiraiya is happy that her daughter-in-law can still stand up to this ordeal.

"Do you want to sleep Bobby?" jiraiya asked as Bobby finished eating.

Bobby nodded while covering his mouth which evaporated.

"You want to go home?"

Bobby shook his head, Bobby almost never came home. He did not want to miss the moment Erika realized because it could happen at any time.

"I just sleep here dad, tired of me missing when close to Erika" said Bobby made Jiraiya moved.

"Sleep enough Bobby, Erika will be sad when you're sick. I will see Mr. Yoshida's condition because Mr. Rey said he would come here" Jiraiya said, kissing Erika's forehead and walking towards the exit.

The distance between Erika's room and Yoshida's outpatient room was quite a distance away, Jiraiya walked leisurely. When almost there was a nurse walking quickly with a riled face out of Yoshida's room.

"What's this?" jiraiya said with a worried face, he half ran towards Yoshida's room.

The doctor looked at Yoshida who was having a seizure. Jiraiya immediately entered the room and approached the doctor on the left side of Yoshida's bed.

"What happened to the doctor?"
