I Hate You But I Miss You (Hate But Miss)
Our Papa is Sick

In the afternoon, still on the beach.

The beach is still crowded. Everyone seems to enjoy the beauty of the nature of God's creation on this one.

Arland stared at the backs of the two people further away, who he said they would look for drinks. The weather today is quite sultry.  So that the activity on this beach also makes Arles who is always moving never silent become more sweat from his body causing him to easily thirst.

“What? Why do I feel like that strange man is starting to like women? Waitaminute! Is that closeness true? Huh... I guess that guy just likes the guy in his life.  Cih, what did he say? Debt explanation? What should I explain? Inner Arland was long, with a smiling face and a soft shaking of his head.

“Uncle, let's finish your part! Arles

“Oh.. ba.. alright boy. You're very impatient. Answer Arland,

Arland started his sandwork project. Arles asks Arland to make a scarecrow out of the sand.

“So you guys want uncle to make three scarecrows?” Ask Arland to make sure.

The two boys nodded compactly.

Arland smiled at the two who were now seriously making their own parts.

“Hei... can uncle ask?”

“Bby, please”! Answer Arles.

“Where are your papa and mama”? Ask Arland.

Hearing that somewhat sensitive question, the hands of the two boys auto quit his job!

“Mama home. City B”. Papa in a far country!. Tomorrow we will go home to city B, because Monday must be school”. Arles explained, even things he did not ask explained.

“So these two boys live with their mother only? They really want to play with me. Maybe they want to know what it's like to play with a dad”. Inner Arland.

“Oh, so you guys don't live with papa? Ask Arland, for some reason he felt curious.

“No. Because papa is sick. Onty said, papa is very sick so must be treated in a faraway country in order to recover”.

“Then, you guys didn't visit him? Don't you miss him? Why don't you guys go with mama and take care of your papa? Arland again.

“No need uncle. Onty said, papa's family is many. Those who will take care of papa”. Arles answered, and now he no longer speaks by looking at his interlocutor. He was just the focus of the lump of sand collar he was forming.

I don't know, maybe Arles is trying to get rid of his feelings of sadness. The boy really wanted to hide his feelings.

Likewise with the cute Lean, he returned to play as if he did not hear the chatter of two people near him.

\=\=\=\=\=\=

Lea and Devan..

"Devs... Devan"!

"Hmmm".. Devan only responds briefly, hearing his name mentioned Lea.

"Emmm. i. that was. ta. earlier, that,

"Why is it broken - batah?

Lea had not finished her words yet, Devan had already cut them off.

"Deng. listen first". Both boys are the children of someone I know. They used to call me onty Le, because I was so close to their mother.

"Wow..what did I just say? Oh no! I feel like I'm a very bad person. Inner Lea.

"That's not what I want to hear Alin!

Devan now looked at the woman in front of him.

"what I want to know is why Arland's brother is with you? What's your relationship with Arland's sister?

"You were clear about your plans with your nephew yesterday, and I'm not going to take that into consideration".

Devan finally explained what he was feeling.

"No, he really wasn't surprised by the two boys!

"Why am I trying to explain our relationship?

Inner Lea, while scratching her non-itchy cheeks, cursed her stupidity.

"Ah. about our Presedir sir, yesterday he accidentally got acquainted with the two children, while we were in the mall.

"Sir Arland bought a lot of toys, and did not hesitate to drop one of his toys, and the children returned it. That's when they started to get close.

Lea explained.

"really so? Inner Devan

He was trying to find a lie in the eyes of his lover. But he found no lies there.

"Hmmm..

"All right, I'll believe you. Her speech.

"What's? So he just wanted to hear an explanation like that? Jeez.I almost wet the bed when I answered him earlier. Why am I so nervous? Again, Leah cursed herself.

Devan hugged Lea.

"Thank you, Alin, because you don't disappoint me. I was so scared that you and brother Arland were involved behind my back".

Devan said in a half-whispering tone. And now he's getting his arms tight.

Lea was a little surprised by Devan's attitude, and the words he said really made her feel like she was being pricked by a needle. And he alone understands his current feelings. He felt more guilty about Devan.

\=\=\=\=

"Well, it's done". said Arles and Arland together, and do not forget, Lea also clapped her hands to describe her happy expression.

Whoa... whoa... What is this dear!

Lea and Devan came carrying five bottles of mineral water and were immediately grabbed by Arles.

"Onty, Dev's uncle.. Looky here..

" These people are the three of us. Uncle, Lean and I.

"Let's see this cool building. I made it!

"This is our home.

Suddenly Lean stood with something in her hand, and handed it over to Arland and Arles.

"Well..what is this? Lean makes people too?

Lean nodded.

"Ah Lean, is this mama? ask Arles.

Lean returned

Then Arland placed the sand-orangans made by Lean, near three miniatures himself, Arles and Lean.

"Ah. I feel overwhelmed.. Sis. y'all are like happy families, and live in a palace". chirps Devan, and now the four people in front of him are staring at his face with unreadable gazes.

"Em. I'm sorry, if I'm wrong. His word!

"Darling, what if we go home? it's already afternoon. Said Lea diverting. He really wanted to explain this situation, but not yet.

"alright, uncle dev will take you home. Hows it? Dev offers, and equates his height with the two boys.

Both of them just nodded with a smile on their faces.

"okih kiddo, if by chance meet again, we will play together again okay" Arland said before they split.

Inside car.

Arles and Lean are asleep, tired of playing alone.

"Darling"..

"Hmmm..

"What are you close to the parents of these children?

"Sa. sa. is very close. Answer Lea briefly.

"Oh... Why did I become such a scene? Inner Lean.

"What do you guys like? ask Devan again.

"We are like family. Answer Lea.

"Ows...

Devan took Leah's hand and kissed her.

Zzzzzt. It feels like the blood flow in Lea's body cools her nervous tank of what Devan is doing.

"Sa. honey.focus on driving. Do not be like, said Lea shy - shy.

"Darling... I want to bring my family to propose to you are you ready"? Said Devan casually.

Seriate.
