sick day

The three of them had arrived home after a long but pleasant day with the orphanage children.

"You found something?" ask Ruby about Thomas.

"Of course, it's not my name if I don't find anything in the investigation" Thomas replied.

"Darling, you just kept quiet from before. You're sick, aren't you?" ruby asked Felix.

"My head hurts a little. I was exhausted" Felix said.

"Rest. I'm gonna make you some porridge" Ruby walked into the kitchen while Thomas was with Felix.

"It hurts so much? Tomorrow you'd better take a break" Thomas felt sorry for seeing Felix a little differently than usual.

"It looks like my illness is coming back" Felix replied in a soft voice.

"What are you sick of? You have a certain disease?" Thomas was really looking at Felix.

"Ah, how do I tell it. Actually..."

"It's done," Ruby appeared with two bowls of porridge on a tray.

"You don't eat? Why only two?" ask Thomas.

"I only drink juice to maintain my ideal body shape" Ruby replied.

Felix and Thomas looked at each other while shaking their heads.

"What do you mean like that?" Ruby threw herself beside Felix who was eating.

"Eat baby. Your body is good" said Felix.

"really? Of course, since I am diligent in sports and eating healthy food," Ruby replied proudly.

Thomas ate his porridge without caring what Ruby said.

"Ruby, get up," Thomas wakes Ruby up slowly so that Felix doesn't wake up.

"Hm, what?" Ruby rubbed her eyes.

"Your boyfriend still seems to be sick. Let's go alone, '" whispered Thomas.

"You crazy? What if something happens if we leave it alone?" Ruby refused.

"Then how?" Thomas asked for advice.

"I'm the only one who left. Please take care of my lover" said Ruby.

"Then I'm. You stay here" Thomas doesn't have the heart to ask Ruby to go alone.

"No. Just me. She won't rest if you leave us alone" Ruby wakes up to get ready while Thomas can no longer resist what Ruby says.

Ruby just washed her face and left after kissing Felix's forehead. He walked down a small path that is quiet but beautiful because on the roadside decorated by a variety of wild flowering plants. Sometimes Ruby stopped to give Thomas news and asked about Felix's condition, but Felix had not woken up from his sleep.

Ruby continued on until she finally reached the orphanage. In the yard there are already children who are exercising in the morning.

"That's Ruby's sister," Zoe pointed at Ruby. Ruby sped up her pace and entered the orphanage's courtyard, while the children ran to greet her.

"Hey. You guys miss me, don't you?" ask Ruby.

"Of course it's because we love to play with big brother" replied Zoe who was followed by another nod of the children's heads.

"With those friends that you invited yesterday?" ask a child.

"My friend is sick so he needs to be taken care of. Then I decided to come alone," Ruby replied.

Jennifer came out of the park.

"Hi Jenn's. What are you doing in the park?" ask Ruby.

"I'm just picking berries" Jennifer replied while giving some berries to Ruby and the rest of the course were directly overrun by the children in the orphanage. Jennifer loved those kids.
