...Happy reading ...


Erfan could not bear to wipe the sweat on his forehead with a tissue while touching Helena's forehead.


"Hot, she's got a fever!" Erfan raised his hand quickly, starting to worry about his state.


"Helena, Helena's up!" Erfan patted Helena's cheek softly but he did not open his eyes still faithfully closed.


"Ck. You're worrying me! Look, woman you owe me so much!"


Erfan went down to get a towel and water to compress Helena who was feverish, Erfan put a towel that had been moistened with warm water.


Several times Erfan did the same thing, his eyes gained weight because he could not sleep to keep this woman.


"How long have I been compressing you but the heat hasn't come down at all" Erfan said seeing the clock on the nightstand showing at 02:24 in the morning.


Erfan rubbed his face rough because he felt very sleepy because he was not usually staying up, if there was work at the latest he slept at 12 pm.


"Do I make medicine for him?" Erfan was worried and confused.


Worried that Helena's heat was not reduced even more heat, he was confused how, only through his experience.


Erfan returned to the kitchen to make ginger soup that is often made by his stepmother when she used to have a fever in childhood.


"Feel now that you're feverish consider it your karma for bothering me!" Umpat Erfan keeps cutting ginger and boiling it for a few minutes. After she finished she was strained and taken to her room where Helena was.


Seen Helena still sleeping unsettled, Erfan put a small bowl of ginger stew water on the nightstand, he sat next to Helena.


Helena leaned on her arm as if hugging from behind, slowly scooping the ginger soup and feeding Helena even though most of it spilled because it did not enter her mouth.


Erfan painstakingly wiping the boiled water that soaked the corner of the lips until it reached his chin.


"That's it, the important thing is that someone comes in, Aaa I'm so tired!" Erfan's sigh stretched the body that felt stiff


"No dad....!" Helena was delirious again


"Good girl sleep!" Erfan patted Helena's head gently until she calmed down but instead hugged Erfan's hand tightly


"Dad!"


"Yes, I'm sleeping here!" Erfan calmed Helena down, Because Erfan was too tired to yawn while closing his mouth, then fell asleep curled up next to Helena

This morning Luna had been escorted by her grandmother to her father's house which looked very quiet like never before.


"Dad, brother Helena!" Call Luna after entering the living room that looks lonely 


"Where's dad at this hour not awake yet!" Said Luna tracing her waist looking at every corner of the house.


"Maybe take a bath baby," his grandmother replies in a frenzy looking for the whereabouts of the two of them.


"Then Luna looked at her father's room" with Luna's nimble steps up the stairs followed by her grandmother who wanted to scold her son for not picking up Luna this morning when she had promised.


"Your father's in the baby?" The grandmother asked unsure as the house was completely deserted.


"Benerear nek was father's car is still ahead" said Luna as she opened the door wide and called her father who was still asleep


"Dad!"


"Hmmm.." Erfan hugged the warm roll in his arms because he was too tired last night, he was lazy to answer.


"Husstt Luna can't make a fuss over sleeping!" Grandma gestured for Luna to shut up first


"Get up!"


"Don't we wake up."


"When?"


"Prepare the camera first dong so you can take a picture of your handsome father when you wake up, how?"


"OK! Sipp!"


"Any one two three, DAD!!"


Erfan and Helena were shocked to wake up sitting in his place


"What's Luna?" Ask them both at the same time


"Whaa...!"


Czechoslovak..


Czechoslovak...


Luna took photos so many times that Erfan and Helena felt disturbed by the flash that was not turned off


"Here you go, Helena's sister will be your mother soon!"


"Really!" Ask excitedly


"Dad... Luna's got a new mom!"


"Huh? Which new mom does that mean?" erfan asked still with his eyes closed with a raucous voice typical of people waking up.


"Well, what does that mean?" timpal Helena who is rubbing her eyes while stretching her body that feels stiff.


"Mama's sleeping with Mama Helena's dad!"


"WHAT!!!" Erfan and Helena were shocked as Erfan pulled back and fell out of bed while Helena pulled the blanket over her body.


"Sir, you're such a bad guy, a runny nose, how dare you!" Snapped Helena with her eyes beginning to glaze over


"I.I..." Erfan rushed himself because it was discovered this way, like a couple mesvm only.


"What's Ma's nose?" Asked Luna innocently


"That's it," Helena did not know, what answer to this little girl


"Hidung is as striped as a cat that can sleep with Luna," replied his grandmother quickly


"Owh deserves to have Mama hug dad like a doll hug, Daddy's funny!" Luna gave a small laugh looking at her father's face which suddenly looked pale


"Doll! I hugged her like a doll!" Lirih Helena accused herself


"Grandmother is the proof, come on nek here bring the camera." Luna grabbed the camera showing the photo taken by her grandmother


Helena froze for a moment seeing him and Erfan hugging each other Helena was all for her own stupidity
