There's Only Us

Night Chat

Hospitals.

In the treatment room located on the third floor, Nara covered Nevan's body using a blanket smoothed the head and rubbed it with affection before rising to stand to sit on the sofa that has been used as a sofa bed.

He looked around the room, the lights were still brightly lit, the window curtain had not closed, there were many stars in the sky. Then his eyes turned to the figure who was now asleep in the patient's bed, from a distance he looked at the innocent face of Gavin who was sleeping soundly.

A smile was engraved on his face, not expecting something like this to happen that Gavin met his five-year-old son. Nara laid her body beside Nessa, wanting to enter the dream, but suddenly her eyelids opened wide when she heard someone's voice moaning.

“Why are you awake?” nara asked as she walked towards Gavin, she did not go to sleep because she heard Gavin's newly awakened voice.

Nara helps Gavin, who wants to sit on a pillow, takes water and gives it to Gavin. Once a sip, the water runs out.

“Thank you,” Gavin returned the glass to Nara's hand and put it back on the nightstand.

“Why wake up?” Nara repeated her question, It is now ten o'clock in the night but Gavin instead woke up, should have slept well.

Both eyes were already sleepy, but he remembered the message of aunt Helen who asked her to take care of Gavin.

“Emm ... Me, I want to go to the bathroom, but it's a little hard to stand up,” Gavin said, turning his face away, clearing his throat after saying the reason why he's waking up now.

Embarrassed actually for having to ask Nara for help, but what can I do. Can't stand it anymore, he wants to go to the bathroom. If there was a mother, Gavin wouldn't have asked Nara for help.

“Why not say? Yes already, let me help stand,” looks Nara hold a smile.

Nara helped that Gavin stood up, apparently it is true that the man is still a little difficult to stand alone maybe because the former surgery still feels a little pain.

“You grip my shoulder, keep the infusion here I brought,” Nara grabbed Gavin's left hand and put it on his shoulder, then one of his hands took the infusion for easy walking later.

“Eh, your infused hands should not be raised up, the blood will be flowing. I can't help if the blood goes up, so you need to call a nurse for real, but now it's too lazy, the nurse who wants to rest.”

“You are strange, if at this hour there are still many nurses passing by, they will have a night shift duty, so not all nurses have come home to rest,” Gavin shook his head, and he did not want to go back home, I felt strange about Nara. It's the nurse's job to take care of the patient, but this woman actually feels it will be troublesome.

Nara was silent, not replying to Gavin. Come to think of it again is true Gavin said earlier. He himself became confused, either just a pleasantries so that the atmosphere was not too tense or indeed he did not know because he had never been to the hospital, except when giving birth to Nessa and Nevan five years ago.

“Udah, ah. Come!”

After driving Gavin into the bathroom, Nara stood at the door. Waiting for the man to finish and bringing him back to sleep in bed. After five minutes, the bathroom door opened, Gavin came out with an infusion, looking a little troubled.

Nara helped, just like before. Gavin leaned back against the pillow, asking Nara not to lay it down first. He is no longer sleepy, if you continue to lie down will only make his head feel dizzy.

“Em ... That, can I ask you one more time? ” asked Gavin hesitantly, he felt bad for Nara, hesitating also for fear that Nara would not want to be asked for help.

“I'm a little hungry, can you please find some food?”

Crutches ... Crutches ...

Just said but her stomach was already sounding, and that was until it was heard into Nara's ears. Aih, Gavin was embarrassed, he immediately turned his face away and scratched the back of his non-itchy head.

Nara could barely hold back her laughter, but she tried to keep it from breaking. Nevan and Nessa might wake up when they hear Nara laughing.

Nara nodded, and she went out to look for food. He who initially felt sleepy but now no longer. Wearing a thick sweater to avoid the cold, Nara walked out of the hospital.

Looking for a porridge seller that is close to the location, who knows there is still. If there is none, then Nara can search in the restaurant that is still open, even if there is.

But it seems Nara was still lucky, she returned to the hospital with a plastic bag containing two servings of chicken porridge. He immediately entered the room, at the time he saw that it was eleven o'clock at night, it was almost midnight but they were just going to eat.

Actually Nara was lazy to eat this late, but seeing the chicken porridge with a fragrant aroma suddenly made her stomach feel hungry. Never mind, dinner will not make him fat, he thought.

Nara took a serving of the porridge that was fed with styrofoam, and gave it to Gavin. The man accepted it but it wasn't opened, just held.

“Why not eat?” nara asked confused, didn't Gavin just say hungry? even his stomach to sound but why after buying it is not even in the eating.

“You didn't see my right hand on the infusion?”

“Liat,” answered Nara short, she still did not understand with Gavin's intentions.

“Then should I eat with my left hand?” Gavin raised his left hand in front of Nara.

“Ah, yes. I just thought, so how?”

“Yes, if so you bribe me.”

“Eh ... ”

After Gavin said a few sentences, Nara finally wanted to feed herself. Not her mode, but it is true that she is difficult to eat using her left hand because her right hand is on the infusion.

Be that night, a night full of stars with bright moonlight. Nara and Gavin first got into a long chat. Both of them discuss what needs to be discussed.

Until Nara is not aware if in addition to feeding Gavin, she also eats using the same porridge and spoon. Until one portion of porridge is exhausted, Nara again takes one portion and returns to eating while feeding Gavin.

Unknowingly, that night, a strange feeling arose in the hearts of the two. Feelings that cannot be explained by words. Could this be the beginning of their relationship?
