EX (SHACKLE OF FIRST LOVE)
116. Plea

Anton takes Baby Elara to a nearby clinic. Actually she was just panicking, not knowing what to do when she felt like her baby had a fever. Doctors suggested that Anton keep the heat-lowering drugs and provide a temperature thermometer in his home.

Due to his ignorance, as well as his temperament in caring for the baby, Anton did not even think about it.

Ah, should he ask Nadine about this?

Why does he suddenly remember Nadine? Should he tell Nadine if Baby Elara has a fever?

After completing the administration at the clinic, Anton brought the baby back home. Thankfully after treatment, slowly Baby Elara's body temperature began to decline.

Not long after, Anton must be surprised by the arrival of someone who is none other than Nadine.

Quite surprised, thinking that the woman would not come to his house today - as a result of his reprimand yesterday.

"Why didn't you tell me Elara was sick, Mas?"

In the face of Nadine Anton can see the disappointment. Either disappointed because it was not told about Elara's condition, or maybe because of something else? I don't know, Anton doesn't know.

"How do you know Elara's sick?" anton asked in a flat tone, he hid a surprised look at Nadine's arrival and question just now.

"I saw you go to the clinic" replied Nadine.

In fact, Nadine did not just see the events of Anton who brought Baby Elara to the clinic, he has also been following since Anton's departure from the house - even seeing events before Anton actually left his residence and had a close chat with another woman. All of that did not escape the eyes of Nadine.

"Oh, yes, now thankfully Elara has improved, really."

Somehow Anton felt that between him and Nadine was back in an awkward mood. To be exact, become stiff with each other. This must have been the result of his reprimand on the woman last night.

"I want to see Elara, Mas. I miss him."

Anton could no longer prevent the woman from breaking into his house. He knew from the beginning that he had given access to a Nadine entering his life, and for this Anton could only sigh deeply.

Nadine looked very worried, seeing Baby Elara hurt made her feel the pain. It is up to the person to say what about his excessive attitude towards the baby he just knew but in reality he feels that the baby is already the child he gave birth to himself.

Nadine holds Baby Elara as the baby cries - as if aware of her presence.

"Elara misses Auntie, huh? I'm sorry, honey, Aunt didn't come on time? Aunty promised not to leave Elara again," said the woman while hugging and kissing the baby.

It was heartbreaking for Anton to see that sight. If only he could unite Nadine and Elara without a meaningful hitch - surely he would do it, but given the status of the woman, he said, again Anton thought repeatedly to continue his sense of having no name in his heart.

Finally, Anton resigned when finally Baby Elara had to submit in the woman's arms, to let a few hours pass with the state of Nadine who insisted to keep babysitting Elara.

"Mass?"

Anton turned his head when Nadine had just walked out of his room. The woman lived there but it was not.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry for coming back here again. I've decided something, Mom."

"Decide what?" ask Anton.

"I have decided that even if you banish me and forbid me from taking care of Elara every day, I will come again and again. I don't care what you or anyone else thinks of my decision. I can't see Elara getting sick and sleeping unsettled, I can't, Mas."

Anton had guessed. And again, seeing the woman's eyes again implying sadness made Anton not have the heart.

"I had a chance to argue with myself, too, Mom. One side I'm embarrassed to keep coming to see Elara after your reprimand yesterday, but on the other side I feel like I said something happened. I feel bad, and it's true that Elara has a fever."

"But, Nad?"

Unexpectedly by Anton, the woman knelt beside her seated leg. Anton was very surprised and surprised to see Nadine's action this time.

"I beg you, Mas. Maybe you feel like I'm overrated and overreacting. But, I really love and worry about Elara just as much as you do about your daughter, Mas. I just felt what it was like to babysit, I was just happy because now there is Elara in my life. Don't separate me from Elara, Mas. I beg you."

I don't know what Anton has to say to answer Nadine's plea this time. She wanted to cry just like Nadine did.

"You don't have to go like this, Nad." Anton held onto Nadine's shaken shoulders. He wanted to get the woman back on her feet and not sit on her knees in front of him, this felt inappropriate, Anton was not a man worthy of Nadine asking for a plea.

Anton knew, even from the beginning he often saw sadness in the hazel eyes of the woman, but this time it seemed mixed with such great expectations.

"Alright, Nad. You can babysit Elara again." Anton spoke as he stared into the woman's netra.

Hearing that, Nadine immediately sparkled happily. He is really happy now. Happy when he first saw the eyes of Elara who was as clear as the owner of the eyes that were currently satirizing with his neutrality.

"Thank you, Mom." Nadine reflexively grasped Anton's hand on the side of the man's body.

"Hmm, yes." said Anton who immediately went from the front of Nadine, he also took off the hand of the woman who had previously touched his fingers.

"Nad, I don't have the same heart as you but instead I have to torture myself for being here." Anton muttered after he entered the room that used to be Yara's room while living in her residence.

By late afternoon, Nadine was already very happy because it seemed like Baby Elara was already looking fine. The baby was already fast asleep without any whining like before.

He again saw the state of the middle room, it looks like Anton has not raised his nose since their conversation earlier.

Is Anton still in the front room?" thought Nadine.

Nadine decided to knock on the door of the room. Not an intrusive intention, it's just that he's sure Anton hasn't touched the food at all.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

"Mas Anton?"

"Mas, you're not eating? It's late afternoon...."

No word, Nadine finally decided to move, she saw the state of the kitchen and looked at the cuisine she had brought from home this morning - and indeed the food had not been touched at all, anton has not had lunch.

"Are you angry, because of my request?" Nadine murmured.

"I'm not angry, Nad."

Shaken, Nadine immediately looked back and found the man who was putting on a face woke up to sleep.

"You just woke up, Mom?" I don't know why Nadine was nervous. Let alone looking at the face of the man's pillow that is visible ... grrrrrr!

Aw, duren ... Nadine's feminine side whispered to herself. Honestly speaking, the charm of the man who had just woken up distracted him for a moment.

"Nad?"

"Yes-yes, Mas?" Jesus, where was Nadine possessed by a genie? Since when did he see Anton in a different way like this?

"Have you eaten?"

"Udah, Mas."

"Sorry, I fell asleep in the front room. Understand, yes. Night stay up for Elara, so that's it." The man smiled wryly, a smile that Nadine had not seen since yesterday.

A smile from Anton's thin, reddish lips. Geez, what the fuck are you Nadine! Nadine also condemned herself for her own thoughts.

It seems Anton has started getting used to it again - so that the attitude of the two of them is no longer as awkward as it was created today.

But now, the problem was why did even Nadine turn so nervous?

Ah, Nadine should also start learning to restore her usual attitude. Why is what he feels different now?
