Between You and Your Father
Chapter 19 Withering Before Growing!

Andrew finished his meal very quickly, as he had been very hungry ever since. The food was gone, not left.

Vivianne looked at the corner of Andrew's mouth with food scraps. He smiled as he pulled out a tissue from his bag and gently cleaned it while saying, "Eat it like a child. Mess this up, sister!" 

Andrew was speechless, his gaze fixed on Vivianne who painstakingly cleared her. He had never gotten this kind of attention before, his heart was trembling. There was a feeling of happiness, a new one invoking his heart.

" Vi.." call Andrew.

" Hmm?" Vivianne looked up at Andrew and was a little surprised by the way she looked at Andrew.

" Sister why look at me like that, anyway? Pardon me! Pardon me! I'm presumptuous, aren't I?" Vivianne was about to pull her hand from Andrew's face.

But Andrew caught his hand quickly, "No! I'm happy, just as much of your attention. Thank you, well.Thank you for accepting me" Andrew looked at her with sincere eyes. She can't lie to her heart, she's getting attracted to Vivianne.

" What the hell, Brother! How is Mello like this, anyway? He said hotshot, jagoan kok cengeng, sih?" Vivi just smiled amusedly.

Andrew took a deep breath, "Vi, can you not break it? This romantic again…" 

" Haha.sorry, Brother! After all, big brother's face doesn't match, or! Make romantic!" Vivi continued to smile while laughing.

Andrew looked at her, "Beautiful!" Vivi looks prettier when smiling and laughing happily like this. 

" Sister said, what?" Vivianne suddenly stopped laughing.

" huh? Whahuh? Don't say anything, Kok!" Andrew nodded and denied it.

" Oh, hmm.I may have misheard, I kind of heard someone say, 'beautiful'!" Vivianne looked at him with a smile.

" who? You heard wrong, maybe!" Andrew threw his face away while trying to stretch himself.

Vivianne chuckled softly, "Alright. I cleaned up the messy bushel in front of it, huh?" 

Vivi was about to move on, but was later arrested by Andrew. "No need, let it be cleaned the same cleaning service only.Just call it, try to push the button there"

 Vivianne followed the direction indicated and then pressed the button in question. Not how long the cleaning service came and swiftly cleaned the food that was scattered because Vivianne accidentally dropped it. 

Vivianne looked at him sadly. Andrew turned his head and frowned, "You why else? You look sad?"

" Ah, no, Brother! I just feel a little bit affectionate, even though I had deliberately cooked it for brother, but so it was ruined because of me. Sorry, Brother?" Vivianne looked down sad.

Andrew smiled, "Here!" call him.

With the feeling still a little sad, Vivianne again moved towards him.

" Why, Brother?" when approaching.

" Come closer, Vi! I want to say something" he said back.

Finally Vivianne was closer while looking down a little. " What is…"

The cup!

Andrew kissed her cheek, "Thank you, huh? Do you want to cook for me?" with a warm smile.

" Eh, hmm .i-that, was a mistake, I didn't know what to take as my apology, so I thought. But, so it's ruined.." Vivianne said nervously as she held her cheek.

" No problem, anyway, there's still plenty of time.you can cook later. Anyway I go home to the apartment, I want you to cook for me! Every day! Three times a day!" said Andrew while trying to stretch himself back and shift his body.

" huh? Every day, I have to work, how can I cook three times a day? If it's like that, then I'm not coming home, dong?" said Vivianne but immediately smothered her mouth, because it gave a bad idea to her.

Andrew turned his head with a grin, "Well, that's a great idea! Yeah, well, you stay in my apartment until I get well, okay? Deal!"he said with his devilish cling.

" Eh, that's not what I mean, sister! I mean.." said Vivianne regretting her words.

" You said it yourself, right? No need to go home? What does it mean if not live in an apartment try? Anyway, what are you afraid of, anyway? After all, also yesterday you have lived in my apartment when you were sick, right? So, what's the problem? It's already! Don't argue, anyway I want you to take care of me later in the apartment! The point! Anyway, what do you do for work, anyway? If it's just for eating, and your needs, I can still charge you, or! You don't know what, your lover is more than capable, heh?" andrew did not want to be disputed.

Vivianne shook her head, "Alright, but only until sister recovers! Not more! But I don't want to quit my job, brother! This is my life, and I don't want to depend on anyone. Moreover, my brother is not my family or husband! Brother has no responsibility whatsoever towards me, so I don't want to!" Vivianne.

" Oh, so you want us to get married? Ok, no problem! Come on, we're married!" said Andrew.

" Brother! I mean not so! After all we are still too young, there are still many of my ideals to achieve! I don't want to get married young before all that's accomplished!" Vivianne.

Andrew stared with a smile at Vivianne, "I was just kidding. Ok! Ok! You can work but only if you take me or Alex! But you still have to stay in the apartment! I want you to take care of me! And this is indisputable!"

" All right!" Vivianne gave up, Andrew was very stubborn if he wanted something. Something Vivianne started to know.

Andrew smiled happily, "You're here tonight, Dad? Here, sleep next to me, Vi!" 

" huh? Just be right! I think it's inappropriate, and again later Brother Alex.." said Vivianne hesitantly.

" Loh, we're not doing anything, Vivi! Do you really think I can do something with my broken leg? Just move it I'm hard, Vi! Or do you wish I were anything, Dad? Hayo's? Well, your mind is so dirty, Vi!" andrew twitched his eyes.

" What the hell, brother! There is no, dad! I just feel inappropriate and we shouldn't be in one bed! That's it, how about people? What are they thinking? Even if we don't do it! Is my sister ashamed? I don't want to, ah! Not to mention Brother's friend, look, how?" vivi Kekeh refused.

" At least accompany me to bed, Vivi. I can't sleep. Embarrassed? Same who? Alex? He won't be back tonight at least in the morning! Whereas if it's this hour, neither the Sister nor the Guard Doctor will visit! So you don't have to worry! I promise I won't say anything to you, kok! Anyway, I can't do anything about it either, can I? My hands are infused! Practically, I can't do anything! If that's what you're afraid of! Want to, please?" Andrew begged.

" Yes, I promise!" said Andrew.

" Oh yeah, move it up!" said Vivi who moved to the right side of Andrew's bed, because the side of Andrew's left hand had an infusion.

Vivianne lay herself on her back very stiffly, Andrew smiled, "We are like two hostile people, Vivi. Can you look at me, Vi?" 

" Once, Brother! Don't macem! He said it was just nemenin, right? This is already loh! Already sleeping! Or not at all, though! I'm down, huh?" vivianne Ancam.

" Eh, no! Aye, yes. This is enough! You're a real stingy, anyway? I'm going to sleep staring at your pretty face, Vi!" andrew was sulking.

" Already, please, Brother! Sleep on! Not lebay! Don't be so fucking boo! Not bad!" vivianne is back.

" Haha…. Who's fuckin' wooing anyway? It's not good, I want to have a serious conversation, the camera's even like a pee!" said Andrew.

" What do you want to talk about, brother?" Vivi involuntarily tilted her body towards Andrew so they were now face to face.

Andrew hid his smile, "I just want to know, what are your ideals?"

Vivianne again threw herself straight into the sky of the hospital.

" Simple,sih,Son. I'm just an orphanage kid who doesn't have a father and a mother. But I have Fatma's mother, who took care of me from infancy when she found me at her doorstep. I don't know who put it. Maybe my parents dumped me! I don't know! No message or anything! I was the first child of the orphanage! Our Lady of Fatma took care of me like her own child, and she rejected everyone who wanted to adopt me! His love was more than my birth mother, perhaps, when we had no relationship whatsoever, let alone blood. My ideals one happy mother and other sisters of the home. Our life is not easy, sometimes we have to help the mother without the mother knowing so that the burden is not too heavy. That's why from Junior High I'm used to giving private tutoring, baking, parcel or bouquet, taekwondo, whatever it is. That's why I have to be a successful person! Because I want to help ease Fatma's burden!" vivianne said as she removed the fine grains in the corner of her eye that were starting to pop out.

Andrew looked sadly at Vivianne's face, "Would I break the heart of this poor girl? His life is too hard!"whispered heart.

Suddenly Vivianne turned back, Andrew put on his usual face again.

" Sister knows?" he looked at Andrew 

" Where would I know if you didn't tell him?" he sounds sulky.

" Heheh.I mean not that, again I have not continued with brother playing sambar, just the hell! I mean, brother, or? I almost didn't go to college, even though I got a scholarship, you know!" Vivianne.

" oh, huh? Why?" andrew asked curiously even though she knew Vivianne was one of the scholarship recipients at her college.

Vivianne's back to her body, "Well, that's because, I don't have enough money to just hostel here, and for the cost of living here. It's expensive, you know! But mother gave away some of her jewelry for me to sell or pawn for my living expenses here. But I didn't sell it, I just pawned it. That's why I have to work here, in order to make up for your jewelry and so as not to trouble you to send money every month. Since the sisters are in the parlour, definitely need it more! I just don't want to be selfish." Vivianne suddenly remembered Fatma's mother, she was very upset. 

Gluey!

Andrew held back his saliva, his lips felt stiff, throat dry. 

Vivi's life is so bitter.  In contrast to Andrew who berbelimang property, the apartment there, monthly there, even excess but still complain. Especially if the papah does not want to buy goods or cars, or even a new motorcycle that costs fantastic. You could say Andrew lived well.

Andrew is a little bit luckier than Vivianne. Andrew had felt complete parental affection since childhood unlike Vivianne. At least he still has the papah of parents who are still there, even though the mother is gone. And sometimes Andrew still complains, because the papah barely has time for him. Andrew's angry! And finally decided to choose to study in Jogja compared to in Jakarta near the papah. 

"It turns out, I'm still lucky compared to you, Vi! I thought, my life has suffered, but we suffer more than I do!" Andrew looked at me.

" Brother! Sis? How come you're dumb, anyway?" tegur Vivi breaks Andrew's daydream.

" huh? Whahuh? Who's dumb, that's brother again listening to your story! Heheh.." he said while grinning.

" Oh..If it's brother, what's his goal?" vivianne looked back at Andrew.

Andrew took the hair that covered Vivianne's face and put it next to her ears. Then smile, "So your girlfriend!" 

" Is! What the hell! Brother! I'm serious, you know!" while hitting his chest.

" Heheh..real! Are you a hobby, hit me? Don't-don't I'm the Smack down again with you! The taekwondo champion! So horrified me too! I can't fight anymore, me!" andrew was joking.

" There is no yah! I wouldn't have done that if I hadn't been a naughty first brother! It's already! He said he'd sleep? Why not sleep, right?" he's pouting.

" Ih, so scared of me! Yes, it won't! How do you sleep, try? Your man nyerocos only! You're sleeping too!" she said while stroking Vivi's fine hair.

Vivi then closed her eyes, "Vi? Vi?" There is no lawfulness.

 " It looks like he's asleep! So fast!" he said while listening to Vivianne's fine snoring.

She moved her body forward and gently kissed Vivi's forehead and then looked at her gently, "It seems like I'm starting to fall in love with you, Vi! Can I?" 

Andrew fixed Vivi's head so that her ladder would become her head pad, and brought her closer while holding her with her right hand bearing her.

Without Andrew and Vivi knowing a man noticed since the interaction of the two. Her heart was somehow sick! The girl he met, accidentally now turns out to be his own son's lover. He thinks he's starting to get over his late wife 'Shenice'. 

This girl's behavior and face reminded him of his wife. He thought after his age of four heads he started falling in love with a girl without her expecting. All this time no one has been able to get close to or pull at his heart, Damian Matthews. And Damian did not want to find a replacement for his wife, because he thought there would be no one to replace him. 

Until yesterday….

But maybe he should bury her, there's no way she's going to snatch something that her son has. Damian decided tonight that he would return to the hotel so that tomorrow morning he would have to return to Jakarta, and leave everything to his lawyer. He would not be able to look into the beautiful eyes of the girl he could not have.

With a quick step he returned out of the Hospital carrying his heartache and left the two human children who began to fall asleep.
