The Dandelion Motel

William Disappeared

Leon tries to call Dante back but to no avail.

While Rosaline sat by the side of the bed waiting for news.

"How's it?"

"Not active!"

"Aishh.actually where did they go?" rosaline asked with an anxious face.

"So Dante said they were at the amusement park." Leon kept pacing around by sticking a cell phone in his ear.

"Are they just going both?"

"No, Nora and Bobby are with them."

Leon hastily pressed Bobby's number, not picked up. Then Nora's number, but it's the same.

He had no idea that Nora and Bobby were there as panicked as they were.

They were afraid to pick up the phone from him for fear of being asked strangely and being emailed.

"Let's find it again!" take Bobby.

He answered a nod from Nora.

"How's it?" ask Rosaline again.

Leon shakes.

"No one answered!"

"Aishhhh!"

"Sleep again! I'll wake up if there's news." Leon said, wiping his wife's arm.

"How can I sleep at a time like this?" grunts Rosaline pissed.

"Calm down! Nothing bad will happen. But if you can't sleep, how about we go to the kitchen to prepare dinner while waiting for news from them?" Leon gently rubbed Rosaline's cheeks to calm her down.

It's been over 1 hour Dante, William and Rachel are waiting. The sky began to cloud with soft-colored clouds. It might rain soon.

William and Rachel who were getting sleepy finally fell asleep on Dante's thigh with a snuggle. William on the right thigh, and Rachel on the left thigh.

Dante started to tingle and tried to move his legs slowly.

Then he moved their heads from his thighs slowly and carefully.

"Ah, fuck! My feet are tingling." Dante muttered to himself while patting his feet softly.

From a distance a girl with pigtailed hair ran over and stopped right in front of her.

Dante looked up.

The two exchanged confused looks.

The girl was Rachel's aunt who finally returned.

A bright light suddenly enveloped the sky a fraction of a millisecond.

Then lightning strikes!

So loud and scathing.

The girl shrieked and jumped in shock towards Dante and HAPPP!!

The girl's face perched on Dante's chest with their position as if hugging.

Dante who gasped plus his legs are still tingling suddenly lost balance and fell on the body of the girl he was in his arms.

The two of them clenched and stared at each other for a moment.

At 5pm it was still raining out there.

No word yet and neither Dante, Nora nor Bobby.

Rosaline who had been waiting until she fell asleep fell face down on the dining table.

Leon had just finished preparing dinner until he could not bear to see it and shook his shoulders slowly.

"Darling...."

"I overslept!" he was slightly stuck and rubbed his eyes.

"Sleep in the room! It's not good to sleep like that, your body can hurt all!"

"Hoaammmm" Rosaline covered her mouth that was yawning wide with her hands.

"How are you, have you heard?"

"Not yet! Aishh...That brat why could he disappear like that?" grunts Leon.

"The three of them are also wrong, how can 3 adults not befuddle to keep 1 little child?" bela Rosaline's.

"I'm going to scold them all, especially that troublemaking boy. You are! Don't try to defend it!"

Rosaline was immediately nervous as if she had made a mistake.

Rosaline actually knew Leon was anxious but the man covered her with scolding and anger.

They had no idea that Dante and William had just set foot in the living room and heard their conversation.

Dante gestured for William to directly climb upstairs secretly, and the boy followed him innocently.

Both walked as slowly as possible, towards the stairs. But William's nose suddenly itched.

The boy tried to hold her back, but could not. And finally...

"HAATCH!!!"

Instantly his sneezing voice echoed into the entire corner of the house.

Leon and Rosaline turned to each other and rushed towards the living room.

Seeing Leon's arrival, William hides behind Dante in fear.

The man folded his hands with a sharp look.

"Son Leon don't be angry with William! He's a good boy. He disappeared because he was helping people." Dante said.

"Of course, because it's all your fault. What's the point of you having a muscular build when you look after 1 little boy you're not a dick!" rosaline scolds Dante's ear and drags him to the exit to tell him to go home.

"Aargggh..sick, sis! Please let go, I'm sorry brother!" Dante grimacing.

"It's a punishment for your carelessness!"

"At least let me have dinner first, brother! My stomach is hungry."

"No dinner, go home! Watch out if you're crawling!" threaten Rosaline and end with the sound of the door closing loudly.

Now there is no more Dante who became William's shield from Leon's sharp gaze.

The little boy was sweating, he lowered his head and squeezed his clothes.

Laon advanced slowly but menacingly.

William slowly pulled his leg back.

Rosaline who had come back and watched them became tense.

Silent...

The sound of rain is getting louder out there.

Rosaline is determined to come forward to save William from Leon's rampage. But who would have thought, Instead of throwing various angry scolding, only one sentence came out of the man's mouth.

"Go take a shower, and then we'll have dinner."

Rosaline who had been nervous and afraid became stunned. He didn't expect Leon to be that calm.

Is he starting to like William?

.

.

.

Rosaline chewed her food slowly. This dinner was a little strange.

William still looks scared, although not as scared as before. While Leon

it was as if he was drowning with his own thoughts.

To break the stiffness, Rosaline took the initiative to start a conversation.

"William, do you ride any rides at the amusement park?" rosaline asked with a gentle smile.

"Not anything up!" the question made William sad.

It turned out that his first move failed and instead made the boy become moody.

Now his eyes glanced at Leon.

"Do you like the food?"

"Hmmm" he answered flatly, preoccupied with his own thoughts.

Both steps failed. Rosaline took a breath, furious at this stiff situation.

But he won't give up!

"You're so handsome. Your face is similar to that of Uncle Leon as a child" he wrote.

"really? Grandma and dad also said that." William said with a sparkling mat but suddenly scared when he glanced at Leon who stopped chewing and turned to him.

"Of course, you're uncles and nephews. Still one family." exclaimed Rosaline still trying to melt the atmosphere.

"Have you known each other since childhood?" ask William plain.

"Yes, your uncle was my first friend. Want me to tell you 1 secret?" ask her by bringing her face closer to William's face.

The boy nodded enthusiastically.

"I've loved it ever since" said Rosaline, nudging Leon's arm with her elbow, making the man's face red.

William smiled.

The atmosphere at the dining table was already melting.

"What was the moment when my uncle's body was also small like mine?" ask William.

"No! My body is bigger than yours. That's why you have to eat a lot so you can grow up fast!" Leon added a piece of meat on William's plate.

The boy thanked her with a big smile and Leon replied.

Rosaline was moved by Leon's sweet treatment of her nephew, it was strange but adorable.

Meanwhile somewhere else, Dante dissolved in his mind.

The man was still thinking about his meeting earlier with the sweet girl in a pony under the lightning roar.

"Aishhh.shameful! So embarrassing!" he murmured while shaking - a rude bell.
