"Bern, it's Mom, son. Please open the door. It's Mom, baby!"

Bern's kisses are like hearing the sound of knocking on the door and also the cry of his mother from the front door of the apartment. His condition is still very weak makes Bern can not get up from the bed. Actually this morning Russell and Andreas had proposed to take him to the hospital. This was rejected by Bern. He had been used to being sick like this for over three years, so there was no way Bern would lose and allow himself to be hospitalized. Bern would not. He hated the place smelling of the disinfectant. Painful.

"Bern, please open the door, honey. Don't make me worry like this. Mom came with Flow. Please let us in?!" elea shouted as she continued to knock on the door of the apartment. Tears did not stop dripping since then so he was worried when Bern never opened the door. Elea was afraid her son was wondering after Andreas reported that Bern had a high fever last night.

Inside the apartment, Bern, who heard that his sister was visiting, immediately braced himself to come out. He was holding on to the wall while one hand was holding the infusion. If anyone sees, make sure the person will definitely feel very full to see the condition of Bern is very very sorry. He's an old man who no one helps. Alone to bear the pain.

"Mom," ....

Elea hugged Bern as soon as the apartment door opened. And her cries broke as she felt the body temperature of her son being so hot as embers.

"Son, you're so hot. We'll just go to the hospital, okay?" bejuk Elea could not. His heart was as sliced as it looked at the state of his eldest son like this.

"If you come just to persuade me, you better go home. I've been in this kind of pain for over three years, with no one. So please don't force me. Can you?" sahut Bern resolutely rejected the mother's persuasion. He then looked closely at Flow who was sitting in a wheelchair. "Flow, how are you?"

"I'm fine, brother. But after seeing your condition my heart ached. We're twins, right?" sahut Flow tried not to shed tears. Although he did not remember anything, but Flow also felt the pain of seeing the brother who was so helpless.

"Yes, we're twins."

Three instead. But baby, in my heart only you are left as my twin. The others are not.

"Flow, Bern, we better get inside. It's not good to talk at the door like this!" elea asked her two children to come inside.

First Elea helped Bern and then very carefully held her body while sitting on the sofa. After that he went back to the door to push Flow's wheelchair. Because Bern's return was still angry, Elea did not let any guards come along. Only one, and that too was asked to wait in the car. Actually, Elea told Gabrielle about Bern's return. But Gabrielle refused to come because she was ashamed to have failed as a father. Be Elea just come with Flow just come here.

"Bern, have you eaten yet? Before I came here, I made you your favorite food. We eat together, right?" said Elea while taking food out of the container. He turned his head, smiling bitterly as his son seemed to dislike the attention he was giving. "Bern, Mother just ....

"Mom, please don't force me. I know Mom's intentions are good, but I still haven't forgotten that Mom's hand was ever moved to protect that bastard. Please understand my feelings too!" bern said immediately conveying the reason why he refused food that had been painstakingly cooked by his mother. His heart is very sick. Sick for upsetting this woman, also sick for remembering the mother's defense who preferred to protect Karl rather than side with him.

Amora, if that day that comes in my dream is true of you, I beg you to appear before Bern. Helpme. You're the only one who can quell his disappointment with all of us. Please come, Amora. I beg ....

"Sir Bern, if I cook for you, would you not eat it?" tanya Flow broke the awkwardness that was going on.

"Wouldn't that bother you?" sahut Bern's. "You and your wheelchair. I don't want to put you in trouble just because I'm hungry."

"It was difficult at first, but now I'm used to it. On the sidelines of doing therapy, while at home Mom always taught me a lot of things. One of them is cooking. Don'worry. I don't feel bothered at all," Flow replied gently.

Bern glanced at his mother. He then took a deep breath looking at her who was still bowing her head.

"Mom, can you help Flow make some food for me? Since morning I have not eaten anything. My body is limp," said Bern trying to soften a little. "But please hand Mom not to help cook yes. I'm watching Flow enough because I'm afraid she'll get hurt. My condition is now being impossible to accompany her cooking. I don't mind, do you?"

"Of course not, baby. In fact, I feel happy because your sister can show the ability that has been studied so far. Aye, Flow?" sahut Elea was heartened not to dispute Bern's wishes. Slowly but surely. Elea is sure that one day Bern's heart will definitely warm up as before. He's so sure.

"Yes, then me and Mom go to the kitchen first, sister. Oya, in your refrigerator there are foodstuffs that can be cooked no? Otherwise we need to order it first!"

"The fridge is empty. Just drinks and some fast food. I haven't had time to shop."

"Hey, I was expecting that in this apartment there must be nothing."

Soon Flow grabbed her phone and ordered vegetables and kitchen spices through an online application. Flow's eye tail then accidentally saw a bandage on his brother's leg that had been flushed due to blood seeping out.

"Oh my goodness, Brother Bern. Your leg's hurt!" exclaim Flow with wide-eyed. He looked at the brother worried. "Sister, where did the wound come from?"

"I accidentally got a broken glass last night. Don't worry, just a simple minor wound" Bern said flatly. His mind so floated on Amora so reminded of last night's events. Hmmmm.

If only she could, it would be like for Elea to treat the wound on Bern's leg. But he must be patient by not imposing his will. Bern is still shrouded in disappointment. It would be fatal if Elea kept forcing herself to touch using her guilty hand. Let it be like this for now. Elea could only hope that one day there would be someone who could melt her son's disappointment.

Feeling no need to worry excessively, Flow immediately invited the mother to go to the kitchen while waiting for the order to come. There they prepare tools for cooking, then re-order when the goods are incomplete. As for Bern, the man was just sitting pensively on the sofa. I don't know what he's thinking. Only God and Bern knew.
