“Ansell, not as bad as you imagine, sometimes he is like a cute, adorable and also very sensitive kongi. I'm sa...,”
“stop babbling,” ketus Bennedict while squeezing Ahreum's hair then take a towel from inside the drawer and wrap it around his sister's hair.
“hmm, sister...,” whined Ahreum who then got up from the wheelchair then hugged her brother tightly.
“please do not separate me from him, yes. yes.. sis...,” persuade Ahreum again with hope if his brother's defensive wall will erode.
“so great is your love for her?”
“Yes, he's the first guy who can make me fall in love like this. You know, actually big brother's personality with him isn't much different, he's not a romantic guy and gentle like dad.
But.., for some reason even though my expectations are inversely proportional to the reality, I still love him with all my heart, I…,” said Ahreum who began to get emotional to make Benedict was silent for a moment as if he was weighing something in his mind.
“oke, brother will consider it, depending on the effort of your husband to continue to fight for you and show his sincerity.” Bennedict surrendered.
“hikks…. Hikkksss... thanks, thanks brother... hiksss..” along with the green light that his brother gave it, Ahreum's crying broke again to make Rihanna and Enzy run to the bathroom.
“ada what? what's up?” rihanna panicked as she opened the bathroom door, fearing that the crying meant something bad.
“what happened Ben?” timbrung Enzy is also worried.
Ahreum was crying in his brother's arms, and Benedict was wiping the back of Ahreum's head with tears that began to drip along with the emotional atmosphere between them.
“yak what the hell is it?
You okay Ahreum?” exclaim Rihanna again who does not understand the situation that is happening at this time.
But instead of answering the curiosity of Rihanna and Enzy, Ahreum even more hardened his crying, as well as Bennedict who preferred to ignore 2 curious women who were still standing on the doorstep.

Meanwhile in the next room.
Ansell sat on the sofa with a focused view pointing at the laptop and occasionally glanced at some files that were next to his laptop.
“Halo Ansell,” greet someone on his laptop screen once the video call is connected.
“Iya, we should not need a lot of pleasantries, let's just start,” said Ansell while reaching for the file and trying to analyze it before explaining it to the woman who became his business partner.
“wait, why is your face like that, and why are your clothes?
You were admitted to Ansell hospital?
Wh why? What happened?!” various questions continued to come out of the woman's mouth as if she had forgotten the purpose of making a video call.
“ahh this, sorry, I have not brought a change of clothes, if this hospital uniform makes me look disrespectful to you, let's reschedule the meeting,” explained Ansell.
“no, no, I just want to know what happened Ansell?
Why is your face so smashed? Did you get beaten up by someone,” guess the woman who is none other than Cassandra, she just kept talking about things that had nothing to do with the project they were on.
“can we go back to the original destination. Sorry I don't think you need to know about my personal matters,” Ansell replied in a tight tone, because she felt uncomfortable with the exaggerated attitude of a woman similar to her late lover.
“ahh, so, okay fine, sorry yes. Where was it?”
“we haven't even started it yet,” Ansell replied.
“hheehe, amm, actually last night I've read all the files Abighail sent me by email, only it seems like it would be better if we discuss them in person, not through a video call like this.
My business in the UK is done, I have also booked a ticket back to Indonesia, maybe I will arrive later tonight. I'll meet you at the hospital,” said Cassandra who made Ansell raise 1 eyebrow.
“no need, we discuss now only,” kekeh Ansell.
“while, briefly...,” sidelines Cassandra because someone called her there, making their conversation delayed.
While Cassandra was busy talking to someone there, suddenly her phone vibrated a sign there was an incoming notification.
Hurriedly Ansell grabbed his phone that he put next to the laptop then checked the incoming message that came from Rihanna's sidekick.
“Green light!” that was the content of the message, as if understanding the meaning of the code given by Rihanna, the corner of Ansell's lips expands signifying her happiness at this time.
...****************...
In the afternoon, return to Ahreum's room.
Benedict was lying on his couch playing his phone, while Rihanna and Ahreum were watching the television broadcast on the same bed. They sit next to each other while snacking on snacks.
“what about the state of Nayeon now?” ask Ahreum in the middle of the fire.
“entahlah, but I hope he is okay, after all there is Franky who takes care of him now, so think of yourself Ahreum,” said Rihanna who also participated in enjoying snacks placed between the two of them.
“no, I just feel sorry for him, Jeno has been seen, uh even there is another new conflict with Raffael, hmm...,” murmured Ahreum who ended his long breath.
“amm, do you know the news about Jeno?” ahreum added while glancing for a moment towards his karybn.
“he was betrothed, to my half-brother right,” said Rihanna without turning her head and focused on the television broadcast that was taking place in front of her.
“he’em, what do you think?” ahreum continued, trying to ask Rihanna's opinion about the match between Jeno and her half-brother.
“no comment, it's none of my business,” the answer is cold.
“you don't want to see Dady again?” ask Ahreum again who this time alluded to his father.
“you sure you don't miss him?” timbrung Bennedict returned his gaze to the screen of his phone.
“induce? Ciiihh!!” grunts.
“ahh yes btw, your semester break is only 2 weeks away huh?” ask Hanna who deflects the discussion.
“Iya, why?” sahut Ahreum's.
“nothing, just ask aja,”
“you have prepared everything? Didn't you say next week it has started working at Ansell company,” Ahreum reminded.
“ahh yes, I almost forgot, I haven't even bought clothes, bags, shoes, I guess my make up is also a lot that has run out, lipstick, blash on, shadow, mascara.
“yak! You want to take a break?” bursts Bennedict while rising from his bed and leaning against the sofa while watching his two younger sisters are engrossed in telling stories.
“ciiihh!!
You're a man, you know what a woman needs huhhh!” cynical Rihanna complete with her julid gaze.
“my wife is also a woman, but she never wears excessive makeup like you,” babble Bennedict.
“aughhh!!
That's because your wife is naturally beautiful, not all women are born naturally beautiful like you know! There are a few women who must have more effort to make themselves look beautiful and attractive to men.
Aiiisshh!! Your brother sucks,” dumel Rihanan while elbowing Ahreum.
While Ahreum only laughed faintly at the babble that he had considered as his own biological brother.
Shortly thereafter.
The door opened, followed by Enzy, Seno and Sammy from behind the door.
“Sammmyyyyy!!!” exclaim Hanna who immediately rose and welcomed the arrival of Sammy handsome matchless.
Rihanna takes Sammy from Enzy's arms and takes him to Ahreum's bed.
“halooooo Sammmyyy, brother kangen really dehh, muaachhh, muacchhh,” exclaimed Ahreum happily as he kissed the cheeks of his younger brother's kingpin who had just been held in front of him by Rihanna.
Although not yet able to speak, but little Sammy looks very happy, seen from his adorable laughter nan loud to enliven the entire room with typical laughter toddler in general.
“you're still here Ben?” his father asked, holding his ass beside his eldest son, while his wife sat in a small chair beside Ahreum's bed.
“Iya well,” replied Bennedict.
“cuti?” ask her father again to develop a conversation between son and father.
“Iya,” again Bennedict only answered his alakadar.
“tumben once, usually whatever happens you always prioritize work,” added his father.
Now not even 1 word was spoken from the mouth of Benedict, he just smiled faintly in response to the words of his father.
Cheeklin…,
Ahreum's room door is back open, “halo everything!” greeting Jeno full of enthusiasm, he also entered with a fruit parcel in his arms.
“waaahhh no brother Sammyyy!!” continued Jeno who then put the parcel of the fruit on the table for a moment and came back to Sammy who was playing with Ahreum and Rihanna on the bed.
“eeyy yooo what’s up broo!!” greeting Jeno while sticking her fist in front of Sammy, Sammy who is still a child certainly does not understand the greeting that Jeno wants to do to him.
Until finally Ahreum who received Jeno's greeting by sticking out his fist and then did a fist toss with Jeno.
“not that you said you wanted to come here early in the morning,” Rihanna said as she stared cynically at Jeno's presence.
“i'm busy, what matters is that now I'm coming, huhh! Yes no Sammyy, funny ughhh, you look like who the hell Samm,” oceh Jeno while menguyel cheeks pianc Sammy adorable.
“certainly looks like my father,” Ahreum said while glancing a moment at his father who was watching him from earlier.
Jeno's reflexes glanced at Seno with the look of her julid face to make Seno frown.
“What?!” ketus Seno who does not like the strange view of Jeno towards him.
Jeno could only laugh crisply seeing his sidekick pouting like a boy being teased by his friend.
“hhhaahhaa..,”
