ONE SUMMER NIGHT'S

I'm doing just fine

Geck!

Geck!

A brief knocking sound rang out at Sea's bedroom door. Not even having to wait for long, the door of the unlocked room just opened, along with someone who was now standing in the doorway with a distinctive smile on his tired face, before stepping up to the bed Sea was already lying on top of him with a thick blanket covering his entire body.

"You sleeping?" asked the gentleman before sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Sister?"

"Hm. Sorry, I'm late for tonight."

Sea turned his body to look at the Big Brother with both eyes narrowed.

"No problem" he said with a smile.

"Have you eaten?"

"Hm."

"What about the cure?"

"Can I not drink it anymore?"

"Why?"

"I'm just tired of continuing to consume it, sister. For tonight."

"Sea. You know, right? If it'll make your condition ...."

"But I feel fine now, brother. I feel healthy and not sick anymore."

"City ...."

"Trust me, I've had a few days to feel like my condition has improved. Even without taking any drugs."

"Dad wouldn't like it knowing this."

"I know."

"Then I say, I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Nr ...."

"Sea, don't be stubborn."

Sea was silent for a while, looking at the Big Brother who clearly looked worried at him.

"Alright," nods Sea up from his bed, and rests his body on the bed while waiting for the brother who is preparing the medicine to drink it.

"Sister."

"Yes." Yeah."

"I'm .. I'm sorry."

"Sorry?"

"Hm."

"What mistakes have you made? As I recall you never made any mistakes, why so suddenly apologized?"

Because I've helped the man hide from you, brother. Makes you tired of chasing him.

"I ... just want to apologize," Sea replied.

"Suddenly?"

"Is that wrong?"

"No."

"Then?"

"Just, I feel pretty weird."

"Oh come on, I always make Brother anxious and worried, I feel the need to apologize for my stubbornness as well."

The man who was none other than Vincent only laughed lightly, before hugging his sister's body. Swab that back before it kisses the head gently.

"I'll always forgive all the mistakes you've made."

"Why is that?"

"Because you never did anything wrong. What else to make a fatal mistake."

"What if I accidentally make a mistake?"

"Are you really going to do it and make me and Dad feel sad?" 

Sea shook his head slowly.

"I'll be a sweet and very obedient sister."

"I know you never let me down and Dad. All right, you better get some sleep now. Marlleta said you came home late enough tonight, what's up?"

Sea immediately felt nervous, he never felt nervous in front of his father. But it is different with Vincent. However, Vincent is a police officer who will certainly easily detect the lies people do, especially him.

"I ...."

"What's wrong? Meet obstacles in the hospital, or in the studio?"

"Hmm," nodding Sea back to lie.

"Something serious?"

"Just missed the night bus because of one little problem, but I'm fine."

"Well, as long as nothing happens to you."

"Hmm, what if Big Brother breaks too, Big Brother looks so exhausted."

"Didn't you want me to be with you?"

"No need, brother. I told you I've been feeling all right lately."

"You sure?"

"Yes. Very sure."

"All right." Vincent moved from his seat. "Good night, Sea. Have a nice dream."

"Thank you, Brother," Sea replied, covering his body with a thick blanket when the steps of the brother were no longer heard.

Sea was quite tired today, even feeling that his body was not okay. After a long time he never do excessive activity, especially doing movements that can cause his heart to race fast until a few hours ago, he was forced to run to make his breath almost stop, he was forced to run, even if you know it will be fatal. However, he enjoyed it a lot, he even liked it, because it has been a long time since he was seven.

"Vincent."

"Yes. Father."

"Is your sister asleep?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"What about the cure?"

Mr. Hellton nodded slowly, before sitting on the sofa.

"Dad not sleeping?" vincent's question was still observing the father who was back in his chair, crossing his legs with a seven-footed look toward the giant-sized frame that was plastered there. Before sitting next to my father.

"Father, I'm not sleepy yet."

"What's my insomnia again?"

"Dad tastes so."

Vincent rested the body, taking one deep breath before slowly removing it.

"You look exhausted."

"Yes. Pursuing the mules out there is quite a drain on energy."

Mr. Theodoric laughed lightly. This was the first time the prince complained of exhaustion from chasing thugs and thugs like what he said. Even when pursuing or arresting a drug kingpin or gangsters, the prince never complained in the least.

"What if just stop and enter the company ...."

"Dad," cut Vincent who really doesn't want to argue about the company and the profession for now.

"All right, you need a break. Looks like you need that, "said Mr. Theodoric patting the Prince's shoulder slowly.

"Then what about Dad? Are you gonna keep daydreaming here all night looking at Mom's picture?"

Mr. Theodoric laughed again.

"Dad needs that, you know that your mother's smile is a strength to me. So let me stay here."

"Ah, it's up to Dad. I'm leaving," replied Vincent rising from his seat.

"Oh yeah, Vincent."

"Yes?"

"How's Eden doing?"

"Eden?"

"Yes. It's been a while since I've seen her."

"Eden is fine, he is like me, always busy in many cases. What's up?"

"It's okay. I just want to know how it is. He's your only friend. You can take her to dinner together at home if you're not busy."

"Sure," nodded Vincent before leaving the father who was back to daydream.

Stepping out toward his car that was instantly moving away. It was late at night, heading to a place where there was a look of Eden who was waiting for him.

"What's up now? Don't you see the night's getting late?" eden asked as he sat beside her, looking up to see the deep sky while continuing to sigh deeply.

"Then what about you? Why are you still here, you're not coming home?"

"No."

"What's wrong?"

"I was tired of being in the house alone" Eden gulped his bier back

"Why don't you just date so you don't feel lonely."

"Do you think that's the best solution?"

"Yes. I guess."

Eden took a long breath. "I never thought of that."

"To be honest, I really want you to fasten with Sea."

Uhuk ... uhuk ....

Eden choked on Bier when he heard Vincent's words which he felt were quite ridiculous.

"Joking enough."

"I'm serious."

"Why should I?"

"Because I know, you're a good man. We've been friends for a long time, you also have a handsome face, Sea even always says that."

Eden was silent and just smiling before gulping down his bier again, as well as Vincent.

"Dad wants to see you."

"What's wrong?"

"I think he just felt like he hadn't seen you in a long time. Maybe he misses you."

Eden smiled again with a view that did not escape the deep sky above.

"It's great if we're being missed" replied Eden who suddenly remembered her parents. 

It had been quite a while since their departure, and he had to take responsibility by continuing to work hard in order to keep meeting the needs of his sister, the only thing he has without having to hope to others to help sustain their lives.

"Do you really not have someone who misses you?"

"So, I don't feel like I have anyone."

Except for a little brother who keeps me dizzy.

"Then I advise you to go on a date."

"Instead of giving me advice, what about you? You're still alone to this day."

Vincent wettest. 

"I've never thought about women or dating."

"Why?"

"Emm, I don't know. Not not dislike. But, I still don't want to do it before Sea gets the perfect man who will live with him."

"Yes, I can understand if that's why."

"I wish it was you, Eden."

"You know, if I've thought of him as my own brother."

"Ah, I'm quite disappointed."

"Tsk,"

"It's almost morning."

"You're not coming home?"

"I don't think so. Maybe I'll follow your habit of seeing the sunrise before heading back to the office" said Vincent, gulping back his bier.
