The Soulmate of Dad

70. Nephew

The alarm from the first brother made Iyan thirsty for a friendly kiss made Iyan groan very upset. Even a small giggle sounded. It turned out to be a little girl who had complained to the bubu.

Ghea stuck her tongue out at the om with her funny face. Iyan gave a sharp look, but it did not make Ghea afraid of him. Even Ghea was laughing.

"O-ow ... Om got caught."

The boy sang as a mockery to his uncle. Ghea was more ignorant than her brother. While Beeya had chuckled to see Iyan's face as well as Ghea's. Unfortunately, Iyan never uttered any harsh words to his nephew. Iyan loved his little nephew.

Ghea joined Iyan and Beeya. He looks very cheerful when Beeya always chimed in on his story. Iyan just shook his head.

"Om, take Adek to this aunt's house, yeah."

Iyan chuckled at the words that came from Ghea's lips. Beeya also laughs called Aunt Bee. He was very worried about this six-year-old.

"Tante will go to Bali tomorrow."

Ghea's cheerful face began to turn soft. There was a sense of sadness that Ghea felt. Iyan immediately grabbed Ghea's body and hugged her.

"Why did Om this Auntie bee go?" ask the boy.

"Tante there's a need. So, Auntie has to go to Bali." Ghea stared at the uncle with pushy eyes. "Om promise, Om will take Adek there."

Ghea's eyes also sparkled. A smile was slightly curved on Ghea's cute face.

"Seriously?" ask Ghea. The uncle nodded as well.

Then, Ghea raised her little finger. He told his uncle to promise him. Iyan smiled and linked his little finger to Ghea's little pinky finger.

Beeya held both hands on her chin. Seeing the interaction between uncle and nephew warmed his heart. For a moment he could forget his sadness.

"Why smile for yourself?" ask Iyan to the lover.

"I'm imagining what if we had kids later."

.

Aleesa knocked on the door of the uncle's room. A deheman from the inside made Aleesa press the doorknob and go inside. Iyan was focusing on his laptop with glasses perched on his nose.

"Little om" called Aleesa.

"Hem."

Aleesa was already sitting on the edge of the uncle's bed. While Iyan was sitting at a special table for him to work. No chatter from them made Iyan turn his face to the nephew.

"What's wrong?" ask Iyan who has opened the conversation.

"Little boy doesn't like Yansen?"

Dahi Iyan shriveled at the words of the nephew. Both of his eyebrows also swooped sharply.

"Om always-"

"If I don't like Yansen, maybe you won't let me be friends with Yansen from a long time ago" Iyan said. Aleesa was silent. He's looking down deep.

"What did your parents say?"

Iyan knew what Aleesa was facing. Although Aleesa hasn't told me. Aleesa did not answer. While Iyan was already staring at Aleesa very deeply.

"From the beginning you knew."

Iyan already knew what Aleesa's laziness was, namely the difference with Yansen.

"I told you too, don't get carried away."

Aleesa only let out a rough sigh. His face changed. Iyan got up from his seat and sat down beside the nephew.

"Remove your feelings because whenever you and he will not unite," said Iyan.

"He with the cross in his hand and you with the prayer beads that you hold. Will it make it easier for you to unite?" ask Iyan.

Seeing no response from the nephew, Iyan hugged Aleesa's body. He knew exactly how Aleesa felt.

"What does Brother Sa have to answer, Om? Brother Sa is comfortable with Sensen."

Iyan had guessed that Yansen had already asked Aleesa for an answer. It's been two years since Aleesa hanged Yansen. Not giving certainty to the man who makes it comfortable. Always together without a clear status.

Aleesa was a child who was always frank to his mother and father. Radit and Echa must have given Aleesa some understanding. That's what makes Aleesa like this.

"Tell the truth to Yansen. Don't cover anything including the reasons for both your parents."

"If he's angry and doesn't accept?" ask Aleesa quietly.

"That means he's not sincere with you" Iyan replied. "If he were sincerely friends with you he wouldn't leave you even if your answer hurt him" Iyan added.

Aleesa returned Iyan's embrace. Only the shoulder makes it comfortable.

"Don't get married soon, Brother Sa has no friends to confide in."
