Athena

Athena
Silent night


Athena seemed to remember something. Her bag containing Anne's clothes was still in the hotel.


"Sir, please go to the XXXXX hotel for a while" said Athena.


Raga wanted to ask, but she knew herself not to provoke Athena's annoyance.


Dutifully the driver who drove the car to the hotel called Athena.


Athena got down from the car followed by Raga who was walking behind her. Athena deftly tidied up her gear and checked out of the hotel.


Raga did not think Athena would choose to rest in this hotel, even though she had a house and her family hotel was also there. He certainly thumbs up for his wife who leaves no trace. Coming home later, he had to thank Renal for sending him to this country, so as to rediscover his wife.


Anne was asleep in Athena's arms. Athena put Anne to bed. He looked around him, this room was still like before, when he was a child. In the past, during school holidays, he and Nevan would join his daddy and mommy for a business trip, so he could know this country. Moreover, his daddy also chose to plant assets here, so he set foot several times in this country. The country has a great attraction, so Athens also makes a simple house in one of the cities of this country.


The bathroom door is open, it looks like Raga looks fresher after bathing. This shows at 12 p.m. Athena quickly stood up, she replaced Raga using the bathroom. They should rest immediately as the night gets late.


After cleaning and changing her clothes in pajamas, Athena joined the bed. Raga slept on Anne's left side, while Athena laid her body on Anne's right side. Awkwardness of course occurs between them, more precisely Raga who does not know how to. If yesterday-yesterday he was silent if angry, now Athena is the one who prefers silence.


Athena closed her eyes, one hand hugging the little body of her child. After being safe, Raga kissed his wife and Anne on the forehead.


"Sleep well, papa's favorite" he said.


His long hands he used to hug Athena's waist.


Athena woke up to the sound of hers, she was certainly shocked when she found Raga's hand hugging her, but quickly distracted her attention when she saw Anne who was whining a little. Athena's hand spontaneously held her child's forehead, as well as her neck, and Anne's body temperature was quite hot.


Slowly Athena took Raga's hand off her waist, then carried her little daughter. With one hand he tried to make milk, until another pair of hands helped him pour hot water into a milk bottle.


"Why not ask for help?" ask Raga.


"You were asleep" replied Athena.


"Why not wake me up?"


Athena just shook her head, not knowing what to answer. He sat himself on the couch, holding Anne and his daughter-in-law drinking milk. The baby's cheeks are already pink, the sign is quite high heat.


Raga held her son's forehead, she felt the heat on her palm. Without being told, he looked for baby compresses that Athena always prepared in Anne's kit bag.


The baby is still hissing. After successfully drinking milk, Athena sat Anne, then Raga put the compress on the back of her child, also on Anne's forehead.


"You are sleeping" said Athena.


"You go to sleep. Try putting Anne down first" Raga said.


Without arguing, Athena returned to bed and laid Anne's small body. He tried to put Anne to sleep by rubbing the baby's forehead, but the baby was reluctant to fall asleep. He's got a fever.


"Try skin to skin only" said Raga.


"If you don't want to, let me" said Raga again.


Athena shakes. She must be tired, her husband needs rest. He then took off Anne's clothes to leave the diaper, then unbuttoned her pajamas.


Raga's view was not separated from what Athena did.


"You're just gih. The pillow if it can be a bit high" he said.


Athena nodded.


"This is it?" ask Raga.


"Yes" replied Athena. She hugged her little body using both hands.


Before covering Anne's back with a blanket, Raga kissed her son's cheek, which of course, other parts were also affected.


"Ga, please" said Athena.


Raga chuckled softly. He then brought his pillow closer to his wife.


Raga kissed his wife's forehead.


"If you're tired, say. Ntar replace" he said.


Athena nodded.


"You slept" he said.


As if bewitched by his wife's words, Raga was completely asleep. It could also be due to the presence of Athena nearby. They had been separated long enough, not sleeping together. Now they are together and in the same bed, it certainly brings calmness in Raga after a long time agitated because they do not know the existence of his wife and child.


Athena looked towards Raga. Her husband is still as handsome, only the look of tired face can not be separated from the face of her husband. The dark circles surrounding his eyes were quite disguised. Seeing this made Athena feel a great sense of guilt. She can't be a good wife. She left without saying goodbye to her husband. The step he should have taken was that they spoke well.


Anne squirms over her body, the child has not fallen asleep. Her body temperature was quite hot, but Anne was also cold. Athena hopes that this skin-to-skin step can make her child calmer and fall asleep immediately.


It was morning, Raga opened her eyes. The view in front of him really looks very beautiful. Anne fell asleep on top of her mother's body while facing her. Both corners of Raga's lips lifted into a smile. He seemed to dream of seeing his wife and child sleeping in front of him.


✨✨✨


Athena rubbed her eyes. Anne was no longer in her arms, perhaps Raga was accompanying Anne. His eyes were fixed on the wall clock that had shown the number 8 local time, he turned out to wake up this afternoon.


Athena quickly made the bed and took a bath. He then stepped out of the room carrying a box containing 3 bottles of milk that had not been cleaned. In the living room he sees Raga making her lap a bed for Anne.


Athena continued her steps into the kitchen, cleaning Anne's milk bottle.


"Have you had breakfast?" ask Athena. He was standing near the sofa bed that Raga was sitting on.


Raga looked at his wife.


"No" answered.


"Wait a moment well, I'll ask you to make breakfast"


"You" said Raga.


"Where?" ask Athena.


"Are you the one who made breakfast?"


Athena nodded in understanding. Then he went back to the kitchen.
