Anna, Hug Me
Episode 3
🌻🌻🌻
A boy about 6 years old seemed to be sneaking up on a cake from the banquet. The boy was seen occasionally peering at adults who were busy chatting before carrying the loot to a quiet place in a fish pond in the corner of the back garden.
There was a smile on his lips when he saw his father and his mother did not notice him taking food. Apparently the boy was the son of a guest present. He was banned from eating cakes by his parents. But it seems the desire to eat sweet foods that beat all prohibitions. He wasn't home so no one was watching him.
Apparently the assumption if no one noticed it was wrong. Although most of the children present play together and are unlikely to notice it. A girl saw him pick up a cake and follow him.
Angelina is the sweet daughter of the owner of the house who is being hosted by the boy who took the cake, the boy she knows as Dima, the first son of Om Theo and Aunt Wendy.
Angel was suspicious of Dima's movements so she followed him. But when he found Dima just standing next to the pool and eating cake made him not so reprimanding Dima. Yes, although he also saw Dima throw his cake occasionally into the pool. Honestly, he also occasionally secretly feeds his pet koi fish with food other than pellets.
Angel was about to turn around leaving Dima alone to gather with his father, mother, and his little sister.
There are three cute little kids growing up together. Hans, his younger brother, Richard, his cousin and Daniel, Dima's younger brother. They often hold small party events just to collect those 3 HRDs. He also always liked the get-together because it made it feel like he had a twin sister 3.
But before Angel turned around, she saw Dima holding her stomach as if in pain.
Angel who saw him immediately ran towards Dima to help him. But not until he arrived near Dima, he saw Dima's tiny body fall into the pool.
"Yes.." cried Angel full of horror. Without a second thought he jumped into a koi pond to save Dima.
The pool was at least almost 2 meters, if Dima could not swim then he would drown if no one saved him in time.
Angel knows it for sure because every cleaning event he always participated in the pool, usually he took part in swimming to dispel the fish so it is easy to move it. It was one of the routine activities with his father that was very effective for him.
Hopefully he is not too late and can save Dima.

"Uh, it tastes very sweet," said Dima happy while spending the cake he took.
"Mama always forbid me to eat cakes and noodles, how sad. Do you want this sweet cake also fish?"
Dima threw some of the bread into the pool. The colorful koi fish immediately raided the crumbs of the cake happily.
"You like her? I like it too but when I eat cake my stomach will hurt," said Dima while holding his stomach which began to hurt.
"Did your stomach hurt fish? everyone eats cake but no one has an upset stomach like me" Dima said. This time he bent down to hold his pain until it made him teary. He really likes sweet and delicious cakes but the doctor said he should not eat cakes anymore. How sad it would be if that happened to you, right?
Dima staggered, trying to get away from the pool. But it seemed like his steps were wrong, he instead walked towards the pond. You can guess he fell from the lip of the pool. Before his body touched the water he heard the voice of a girl screaming. Did someone see him fall?
It turns out this is the atmosphere in the water, Dima commented while in the water.
Fish I can see you up close. But unfortunately I can't play with you because I can't breathe in water, she said with sparkling eyes.
Dima tried to swim back to the surface, but his stomach began to twine and he immediately swallowed a large amount of water. He choked, his chest began to clench due to lack of oxygen and that made it difficult for him to swim. It's not that he can't swim, but he can't swim at the moment.
Dima was desperate.
Is someone coming to save me? Mama I'm sorry for breaking your ban. I love you, Ma.
Dima swallowed more and more water in exchange for his oxygen. He was ready to close his eyes, but someone had come to his aid. He opened his eyes to see who was coming.
A beautiful girl with blonde hair and white dress seemed to swim towards him. She knew him, the girl was Angelina, daughter of Aunt Ana.
Set in a colorful koi fish, thick yellow hair and a beautiful white dress, Angel reaches out to Dima.
🌻🌻🌻
Angel took a deep breath before plunging into the pool. As he was in the water, he saw that Dima had been at the bottom of the pond and was motionless. He immediately stretched out his hand, but the boy only smiled and then closed.
Angel looked panicked as Dima closed his eyes. He immediately swam further down and pulled his body. But carrying someone with weight is not much different from you turns out to be more difficult than the shadow. He found it difficult to do so. He cannot swim with someone. Moreover, the feelings of Dima's body are very heavy, even though Dima is not higher than him.
Although desperate Angel still trying to manarik Dima with all his might. Fortunately someone else had jumped in the pool.
A blond man jumped into the pool and gave them help. That man is Thomas Dunyan, Papa Angel.
Thomas was shocked to hear his daughter screaming and jumping into the pool, but he was even more surprised to see Angel pulling Dima's hand and trying to save her. Without a second thought he nimbly jumped into the pool and pulled the two together with a single jolt and brought the two to the surface.
Angel gasped so much as to breathe free air in Thomas's left hand while Dima looked uncomfortably wrinkled in his right.
Guests especially the women screamed to see Thomas carrying the drooping Dima. No less panicked is Theo, Papa Dima.
Theo immediately took Dima from Thomas' hand and laid him on the ground to give him an artificial breath. His hands shook as he pressed down on his son's helplessly drooping chest.
After Thomas sent Angel to his wife, he replaced Theo with first aid. Theo wouldn't be able to do it right if his hands kept shaking. He understood that because he would also do so if the person who is unconscious at this time is Angel.
"Call ambulance!" his orders to Theo.
Theo. Not far from him looks Wendy who is crying while holding Daniel. He could not calm her down because she was not calm either. Even his hands were still shaking while holding his phone. His eyes were still looking at his unconscious son.
once, twice, in a 3-time experiment Dima spewed water from his mouth, he was seen opening his eyes for a while before closing his eyes again.
"Please blanket it," Thomas said. Someone handed him a blanket and he covered Dima with it. Sirens were approaching. The ambulance has arrived so Dima will definitely be fine.
Theo then carried his son and took him to the newly arrived medics. But before that he looked at Angel while saying thank you.
"Thank you, Angel. Om will always remember this good favor."
The clueless Angel simply nodded while glancing at her papa. He did not understand, even though everyone knew that saved Dima was his Papa but Om Theo did not thank his papa.
Theo glanced at Thomas before passing. Only a few people knew the meaning of that gaze. Actually with this incident the return of gratitude between them has paid off. Theo once saved Ana and now they avenge her by accidentally saving Dima.
Theo may be upset by this fact but in his heart he is grateful that his son was saved.
After Theo's family passes due to an incident, Thomas apologizes to the guests for their little party event having to end.
The guests seemed to understand and disperse.
After finishing with the guests, Ana knelt down and looked at her daughter who was still covered in towels.
"What's up with Dima, honey? why did he fall into the pool?" ask her daughter.
"Come, Ma. Dima just ate the cake and then he held his stomach in pain and then he fell into the pool" Angel said, wiping her wet long hair with a towel.
"Ah, Wendy once told me that Dima is allergic to gluten. His stomach ache may be the effect of his autoimmune. I have to tell Wendy." Ana looked at her daughter, "Honey, wait here for a while with Papa. Mama has to tell Aunt Wendy," Ana immediately runs a little following Wendy's family. It is very important for them to know the cause of Dima drowning is not just to treat Dima who drowned.
It was Thomas' turn to advise his daughter, "Darling, even if Papa knows your intentions well, next time never do something like this and put your life at risk. Papa doesn't want to lose you, honey," said Thomas, holding his daughter back home.
Angel could only nod. May Dima be well, his prayer in heart.
