They are now at the dinner table for breakfast. Yes, a bad breakfast because waiting for Melisa finished bathing with all her drama.
In the middle of breakfast, Evelyn, who had just returned from the hospital, approached Kevin to ask him for help.
"Kevin, can you help auntie get Amora upstairs?" actually Evelyn wanted to ask Alan to do it. But Alan's answer was a rejection.
Kevin only fell silent because he was confused about what to answer, until finally Alan made a sound. "Why not ask the driver or security for help."
"Amora is a girl. You should understand, while there's still family why someone else should touch it. Especially with the opposite sex."
"That aunt Evelyn said was right, brother, so I-" Kevin's words were cut off because Alan suddenly got up from his seat and made a sound. "Let me just."
Alan immediately approached Amora who was sitting in a wheelchair and carried her to the room. He didn't care about Amora. Because if Kevin did this, Melisa would get hurt again. So, he lowered his ego this time to keep his favorite heart.
A smile expands on Amora's lips. How happy because he felt Alan had opened a little gap in his heart to accept him as a family.
"Thank you brother." Amora said to Alan who was about to leave Amora's room.
"Yes". Answer's short. But that was enough to make Amora happy. At least Alan wants to talk to her, even if it's only two letters.
Alan left, but at the same time Evelyn came and stopped him.
"Alan, mom wants to talk."
"Yes, fuck it up." Answer's flat.
"Please take care of your sister. Mom had to go to Tokyo. There's work you have to finish there."
Alan just kept quiet. He was about to leave Evelyn without any intention of answering her mother's request, because the answer was definitely 'no'.
"Alan, please just this time you help mama."
Alan stopped his steps and turned to look at his mother
"When I begged my mother not to go with my mother's affair first, then my mother agreed to my request? I also pleaded like this to my mother. But what did I get? Since then I have lost a mother. But my mom is calm, I'm not like my mom. I'll take care of Amora for my Melis."
Evelyn seemed to frown. "What does this have to do with the girl?"
"The girl has a name, Melisa. And he begged me to be nice to you. So be nice to Melisa, and also thank her."
Evelyn looked furious and held back her anger. The other with Amora. A bajagia smile expands on his lips. He soon recovers and goes to Melisa to thank her for helping to improve his relationship with Alan.
On returning to the dining table, he gets a strange look from Kevin and Melisa
"Why do you see me like that?"
"It's okay brother." Melisa smiles because her brother's secret is already starting to open her heart to Amora. He hopes that the brotherly relationship between them will soon improve.
"Continue eating you guys." Alan's orders.
After breakfast, everyone continued their activities. Alan and Kevin are preoccupied with his office work, while Melisa, do not ask again. Of course, he is currently rolling on the bed because he feels bored and bored. After online school was over, he had no activities whatsoever.
If yesterday there was Sofia accompanying him. But for today not, because today his mother had to undergo surgery because it turns out that the pain is not only stomach acid, but also appendicitis.
"Arrggghhhh. It's gonna be crazy like this for a long time." Melisa ruffled her hair. In line with that, he had the idea of driving away the boredom and loneliness that dominated him at this moment.
With 45 vigorous steps, he headed towards Amora's room. He knocked on the door even though Amora's room was half open.
"Just enter!" Evelyn orders after someone knocks on the door, which she thinks is ART in this house. But when he finds Melisa coming in, he immediately throws his face away. If he knew who knocked on the door was Melisa, of course he would not be willing to talk let alone let in.
"Mama get out first." Evelyn just walked out without waiting for an answer from Amora.
"Hi Ra, how are you?" Melisa was a little awkward starting the conversation.
"It's better." The smile he developed on his lips, as a reinforcement that he was completely healthy.
"I'm sorry I didn't see you yesterday." Melisa looks down sad, remembering the incident where seeing Kevin feed Amora. And it looks so friendly in his eyes.
"Hey, don't be sad like that. What matters is that I'm okay." Amora tried to comfort Melisa who she thought was sad because she did not have time to visit her. But it's not like that. He does not know that the reason that makes Melisa sad is her closeness with Kevin.
"You yourself how? Is it often morning sickness?
"Yes, like pregnant people in general." Melisa replied with a smile.
Amora clasped Melisa's hand and stared intensely at her. "Thank you for helping me improve my relationship with Alan's brother." His voice now turned vibrating. His eyes looked watery as tears were now beginning to fall unstoppably.
Melisa smiled and hugged Amora. But he was confused, even he felt he did nothing. But why is Amora thanking you like this?
"Thank you Mel once again, I owe you one. I'm also sorry that for a few days Mama Evelyn used to ask your husband for help to keep me in the hospital. Don't be jealous. We have nothing to do but friendship.
Melisa took off her embrace. "What debt? even I didn't do anything. And about Kevin's brother, I believe in you." Even though I'm sick of seeing your closeness." Melisa said in her heart. But at least he felt relieved after what Amora said earlier.
"I know you asked my brother Alan to be nice to me and my mom, even if this is what he did for you, but I'm so happy. For me it's a good start to mend our broken family relationship."
Melissa smiled hearing that. He recalled a few days ago he asked his sister to be kind to Amora and Evelyn who incidentally were his own biological family.
"I promise, help you get your rights as a sister." Melisa smiled and gently patted Amora's shoulder.
Since then, the two have become more and more familiar. It's even getting sticky. Because Amora was not allowed to work on the grounds that she wanted Amora to rest until she was fully recovered. But in addition, he also wants Melisa to have friends at home. He saw Melisa so happy and so close to Amora.
As for Sofia, she has returned to being Alan's Secretary at the company, more precisely she wants Sofia to always be beside him.
Time passes so fast. Even if you have started attending school and learn to follow face-to-face lessons. In addition to his stable health condition, and his morning sickness that began to fall, of course because the test is getting closer.
"Saw Yong ju!!!" Shouted someone who when he saw Melisa back in school after weeks of online school on the grounds of disturbed health conditions. Therefore, all students, especially third-graders, know that they have severe pain. And he hated this situation so much, because he did not like to be pitied.
"Hi, Aldo! Long time no see." Melisa hugged her best friend who she had not met for several weeks.
"Sorry as long as you're sick I can't see you. Because school activities are getting crowded." Aldo rolled his eyes considering how busy he had been lately because he had to divide the time for exam preparation and his part-time work.
"You still work part time?"
"Yes, that's it. Otherwise, where do I eat." Aldo lowered his gaze. He suddenly thought back to his late father. If only his father were still alive, of course he and his mother would not have experienced such a difficult life.
"Hey, why are you so sad. Dong spirit. Where's the Aldo I know?" Melisa tries to cheer up her best friend. He knew how difficult life Aldo was living right now. To make him even more sad, Aldo always refused material assistance from him. "I can still afford my own life." Such was the answer that came out of Aldo if Melisa wanted to give a little of his allowance to Aldo, with the intention of lightening his burden. But what can Melisa do? he could not have forced his friend to accept his help for fear that Aldo would be offended.
Seriate...
