The Hug His Darkness

Part 42's

Annora was still pensive in place. He was thinking, would it be better to just stop here? Seeing no development whatsoever given by Quirinus. The man remains cold and hard to touch his heart, if the physical is very easy because it always turns on quickly. But, what is desired is the return of feelings from Quirinus, not just physical touch without inner bonds.

While Annora was busy struggling with her own thoughts, her phone suddenly lit up, displaying her twin name. He took a moment to lift up. “Why? Tumben called me?”

“Please go to my Apartment, accompany Loralei for a moment. I have business and he does not want to be invited to leave because Clodoveo is always fussy when riding in the car.”

“Ya, after this I go there.” Annora ended the call.

The woman cleaned the dining table first, washed everything that was dirty, then went into the room to get ready. He came out wearing pants and long clothes so as not to get cold during the trip.

Annora stops near the door that connects the inner area of the house with the swimming pool. Staring at Quirinus who was sipping cigarettes. He did not say goodbye if he wanted to leave, immediately stepped deliberately stomping hard so that the man heard.

Quirinus glanced over without asking. But, the legs went down and walked through the side area of the house. He stood at the end of the wooden-lined wall, crossed his arms and stared at Annora's car departure. I don't know, that guy is too hard to understand how he feels and wants right now. Too flat in showing expression.

Annora's full day was in Agathias' apartment, her twin. He helps his brother-in-law, Loralei, to look after his infant nephew. Not bad, making him not think about Quirinus because engrossed by the little one who can crawl.

“Aunty here.” Annora waved, codifying her nephew who was under the dining table to get out of there. It's amazing to be tired of keeping an active baby moving, but every heart is happy to see the laughter of the tiny one. While Loralei was taking a bath.

While Annora was still playing with Clodoveo, the door of the apartment was heard opening, automatically looking at the source of the sound.

Because her niece had already taken over, Annora had her back on the floor. “What are your children fed with? Why is it growing so fast, he's getting more active. I got it wrong because I did not want to stop crawling,” complained later.

“Only ASI and daily food made Loralei.” Agathias kisses the cheek of her son's bully. “It's not him that's growing too fast, but you're the one who's rarely here. Any where to? Two months more were never seen. Usually also once a week bring toys or clothes for my child.” His feet walked to the sofa to sit, holding the little one, and while taking Clodoveo to chat.

“I'm trying to make someone fall in love,” Annora said, slowly standing up and moving to a more cushioned sofa. “So, all this time I stayed at his house.”

Agathias raises the eyebrows. “Which man made it to make you suddenly able to say love?” tanyanya was very curious. Because, he knew very well that Annora always rejected the men.

Not yet answered, Loralei had already come out and cut. “Home home?”

“Iya, just now,” sahut Agathias.

Loralei immediately took over the son. “I put Clodoveo to bed first, yes. It's time to rest,” pamitnya later.

Annora and Agathias replied with a nod together. Then, the two looked back to continue the conversation.

Annora tells the story of Quirinus to Agathias. Starting from the first time they met, a sense of vibration that was always present in his chest every time he was with the man. All things are told. Even including his feelings that have now never been reciprocated even though he has been living together for more than a month.

Agathias chuckled and shook his head in an inexhaustible manner with his twin's behavior. “Stop doing things in vain. If he doesn't show interest in you after everything you've done, then the sign of your love is clapping one hand. Go home and don't go back to that house, find another man. Don't be like a woman who doesn't sell. You're beautiful, there's still a lot out there that you want.”
