There's Only Us

Evil Aunt

The weather was quite hot this afternoon, the sun was already at its highest point. A gentle breeze hit Gavin's face, making some of Gavin's hair sway slightly.

He removed the sunglasses perched on the trunk of his nose, his gaze observing around. Seeking the existence of someone.

It had been almost ten minutes of waiting, but not a single child had come out of the school area yet. Gavin kept waiting, leaning on the car while checking his phone.

Until the sound of the school bell rang, Gavin stopped his activities. He turned off the phone and put it in his pocket.

A few drops of sweat fell from Gavin's forehead, it seemed like the effects of heat, he was sweating. With focus he again observed the school area, afraid of misrecognition.

Until his gaze led to a little girl who was walking alone, holding a pink school bag and her hair tied in two.

A smile rose on Gavin's face, he had already found the little girl in his car. Soon he walked over to Nessa, wanting to know how he reacted when he saw that he was the one who picked her up.

"lisss ... " Sound quietly, right in front of Nessa. The little girl raised her head, surprised, delighted, unexpectedly mixed into one upon seeing Gavin's arrival.

His eyes widened and the smile on his face expanded. With her small legs, Nessa ran up to Gavin, but was close.

"Om Gavin picked up Nessa?" already in Gavin's arms, Nessa wrapped her hands around his father's neck.

Before leaving school, Nessa was not excited. There was no Nevan he could disturb, being his days at school did not feel pleasant.

But when he saw Gavin coming to pick him up, his mood in an instant changed. Gavin is a badmood drug for Nessa, not knowing why Nessa likes Gavin so much.

"No art?" Nessa nodded quickly, not only happy but already very happy. This is the first time Gavin comes to pick her up at school, then next time he will ask Gavin to always pick her up. Not just today.

Gavin sat Nessa in the front seat beside the wheel. Then he drove around his car and got in. He did not bring a driver or his assistant, he wanted to drive himself to pick up Nessa.

"We want to go home or go for a walk?" The car was moving forward, Gavin was driving leisurely. Occasionally looking towards Nessa, the boy had an indistinct smile.

Gavin until the head gurgles saw it. But he likes it, it's the first time he's picked up a kid from school. It feels fun too.

As Nessa was thinking, she tapped her forehead with a finger. "If in the hospital keep bosen, Om. Let's go for a walk."

"Ready, Princess," he said, raising his hand in salute, as at the ceremony raising a red and white flag. Nessa laughed at him.

Gavin returns to his car, looking for a suitable place to take Nessa for a walk. The plan will take Nessa to eat first, then bring the child to play games in the shopping center.

Ah, perfect. I hope Nessa likes the plan.

After arriving at his destination, Gavin parked his car. The two of them got down and walked hand in hand. Nessa is still wearing her school uniform but left her bag in the car.

Luxury restaurant with expensive food is Gavin's choice, he invites Nessa to sit in a chair that there are only two seats. Gavin asks Nessa to choose her own food. Then it's the same.

Before the food came, they talked to each other a lot of things. A special day for Nessa, home school picked up by her favorite om. Having dinner before returning to the hospital, there is nothing more pleasant than today.

The little girl told me about the past she remembered. About when you first moved house, then also many neighbors who did not like them so much.

Want to play with other children around but not allowed by their parents. The words that Nessa always remembers are when Nara's neighbors always said that they were illegitimate children who had no father.

"Don't play with that bastard, not level."

"Don't like playing with them, they're not good people."

It was a piercing word, but it was never put into Nessa's heart. But always in the memory. How he was often treated like a dirty thing by them.

Only Nevan becomes his playmate, only with Nevan he becomes a naughty little girl. Only Nevan always protects herself when mischievous friends are with her.

Nevan is his favorite sister, although he is often ignorant of his sister but he is very affectionate. If there is no Nevan then there will be no one to protect her when she is not around.

Nessa tells a story with an ordinary expression, but different from Gavin. The man felt his heart as if it was in an iris using a sharp dagger. Hearing her daughter's story it felt like her heart was hurting.

"Why don't you get married again?" a silly question that Gavin suddenly asked. He immediately hit his mouth.

"No idea, Om. But every time you ask me where you are, you never answer." The answer that deviated from the question, why it felt so right piercing Gavin's heart.

Wanted to ask again but no, the food has come. There was a rumbling stomach sound. Nessa Sumringah's face was both embarrassed. His stomach was so loud that it could be heard by others.

__________

Next destination, big shopping mall. Gavin takes Nessa to a special place of the game. Letting Nessa play to her fullest, while she sat watching her beloved little girl.

For almost an hour, Nessa finally stopped. A happy face he could not cover. It was so fun, his mind had been cheering happily ever since.

If every day was like this, Nessa would never get bored. If Nevan is cured, it will be more fun. Nessa waited for it to arrive.

After satisfied playing, Nessa asked to buy ice cream because of thirst. Gavin complies, telling Nessa to choose for herself.

They both sat in long chairs before returning home. Want to spend the ice cream on hand first. But the pleasure is dashed upon the arrival of a person.

Jovanka looked at Gavin and then turned to Nessa, looking at the boy with a look of dislike.

"Don't you go to the office today?"

"I've been working overtime for a few days, so I want to rest first."

"Why not rest at home? Why even play with this brat?" Showing Nessa, makes Gavin become emotionally ignited.

His son said he was naughty, he didn't accept it. But remember because they are in a crowded place right now. Gavin better shut up.

"Have it, it's up to me to want a break. Even at home I don't know what to do."

Without waiting for an answer from the interlocutor, Gavin grabbed Nessa's hand. Take the little girl away.

Again, just like in Gavin's office. Nessa stuck out her tongue. Mocking Jovanka, to make the woman upset, very upset to the point of becoming angry.

He was so upset he didn't realize when he slammed his phone on the floor.

"Geez!!!"
