My best friend

"Yamaaaa!"

The screeching reflex makes the person in the room grimace while covering his ears. Zee came in with a splash directly running towards Rea who was sitting in her vault.

"Honey, don't scream!" Rea warns Zee, his hand outstretched to grab Zee's tiny hand that is about to climb up to the top of the gurney.

"Solly," The boy lowered his voice while keeping his mouth shut.

"Dam!" call Varest to the kid who's still trying to climb. "Zee is the same Papa, yeah. Mama's still sick" Varest said holding Zee.

Zee who was initially happy because he saw the Mama in good health immediately pursed his lips unacceptable because it was prevented from being able to hug the woman who gave birth to him.

Varest who realized the expression of the Son could only chuckle, swiping at Zee's right cheek. "Don't that manyun, uhh," his god, "Papa has a gift for Zee," he continued, stepping around the gurney toward the baby box on Rea's left.

"Sister Ji?"

Without being told again, the smart boy could already guess if the baby who was in the box who was sleeping soundly with the yellow blanket was his sister, who was a child, the sister he always asked when he came out of the stomach of the mother, the sister who always made him seem to be the happiest boy if he had told stories with his friends.

"Papa, this is Ji's sister, right?" tanyanya made sure

Varest agreed with a nod twice, got a demikan answer from the papa kontan make a happy twinkle printed on the frame of Zee's round face, rea's son immediately asked to come down from his papa sling to get closer to his sister.

Everyone who saw the happiness of Zee that was very obvious would not want to publish a smile on each of their lips, finally the wait for the boy has been sweet fruit now.

"Woah. Ji's sister is handsome like Ji." The boy exclaimed, sticking his face against the wall of the baby box.

Andin slightly tiptoed to see the face of the second child boss also curious as to what the prints of two people who are always the object of the pubic by the employees in the cafe.

"Ndin, what are you doing that?" ask Mama Nimas who is aware of the behavior of her child's employees.

"Sorry, Mom. Andin was curious about the baby's grandpa" he replied

"If curious well visited dong, Ndin, can be seen directly"

Andin shamed, indeed he should not feel awkward like that because both Rea and Varest and the parents of the boss they were always kind to Andin. But, whose name is the boss is still the boss, Andin feels he still has to behave like an employee who must have limits to be familiar with the boss.

With a slight smile Andin walked over to the baby after being summoned by Rea and Varest, he felt astonished by the baby in front of him like an adorable doll.

"You're not with Andi?"

Andin's movement about to touch the baby's cheek immediately stopped, he remembered how Andi who ignored him when he passed from the cafe.

"Mm, he's still in the caf-"

Andin did not continue his sentence when the door suddenly opened directing the attention of everyone in the room to two people who came.

"Where's my nephew?" tanya Andi immediately hugged Varest tightly to be happy after hearing that Rea's labor went well.

Varest patted Andi on the back, but his gaze was fixed on the woman who was right behind his best friend.

Breaking his arms when he saw the woman approaching Rea, Varest noticed Rani's slightly scratched arm from his wife. Rea had already told how Rani could be with him and take him to the hospital and it was enough to make him feel guilty for the woman he had snapped at.

"How are you doing now, Re?" rani asked touching Rea's hand

"It's only natural that I help, I can't just sit around looking at people who need help, as long as I can help I'll do it."

"Ran, can we talk to you for a second?" Varest interrupts the conversation of Rani and his wife, he turns to Rea for permission and Rea nods in agreement, however Rea asks him to apologize directly to Rani for her misunderstanding earlier.

"sorry"

"Huh?"

"My wife told me everything, I'm sorry I misunderstood you" Varest said

Rani sighed and smiled without looking at Varest. "If Rea hadn't told you that, would you still think I was bad?" his heart felt pinched as he said the question.

Varest gasped, he admitted his mistake was too overpowered emotions, honestly he was so afraid if until his wife was sick, especially the one who hurt was the one who had been close to him.

The man slashing his body looked at Rani from the side with two seats away from her.

"I'm sorry, Ran. I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have yelled at you earlier, I shouldn't have made you a suspect for something in my shadow."

Rani smiled wryly. "What am I like in your shadow, Rest? How am I gonna act?" His eyes were glazed over, indeed he had tried to hold his heart to every sentence that Varest would utter he had also tried to keep his tears from flowing but, instead, after hearing firsthand how Varest looked at her he couldn't help but cry.

"Ran?"

"It's not your fault, Rest. I know enough myself, I've formed your distrust of me, just hearing you say it firsthand hurts a little." Rani wiped her tears and displayed a forced smile on her lips

Somehow seeing Rani crying in front of him makes Varest feel more guilty, he remembers the story of Rea who made Rani's hand as an outlet for his pain during the trip to the hospital.

Rani who drives must give up her left hand to be made into an impromptu squisy when Rea feels contractions, lucky Rani can still drive well until they reach the hospital.

Varest's view turned to Rani's arm as scratches and dried blood stuck there, Varest took a small box of P3K equipment that he had brought from the room.

Rani frowned when she saw Varest's hand outstretched before her.

"Your hands" said Varest, understanding Rani's confusion. "Your wounds must be cleansed, I am responsible for the wounds made by my wife, as well as my thanks."

Rani shook her head faintly. "You don't have to take responsibility for something that you shouldn't, what I do is something that everyone should do. It's okay" he said

"But, Ran, in-"

"Honestly Rest, until now my feelings are still the same for you, you know when I saw Rea earlier I did have a little plan to not care about it, he said, I thought maybe leaving him in the middle of a pain like that could make him disappear from your life."

Varest widened his eyes to hear Rani's words, but a second later he immediately sighed in relief at Rani's next sentence.

"But it turns out I still have a conscience, Rest. Hearing Rea mention my name by whimpering my heart out, I couldn't possibly let her go let alone because of my mistake, I wouldn't let my best friend lose the woman he loved so much."
