"Yon, lend me your clothes!" said Laras who is very uncomfortable with Ervin's current appearance. It is very embarrassing, if it is seen by other visitors.
"Hem ...." Dion nodded resignedly then gestured for Ervin to follow him to the tent, using his chin.
Ervin followed Dion without protest. The main thing now is to approach Laras back, a matter of self-esteem and shame, let him leave first for a while.
"Wear this," Dion said, after she took out the clothes she had prepared. Fortunately, he was used to carrying spare clothes when traveling, so he had one more shirt stel to give to Ervin.
"Thank you" Ervin accepted and changed his clothes in Dion's tent to shorten the time.
After the drama of Ervin's costume, the five men went to the autboand game together. Along the way Nevan and Nessa never let go of Ervin's hand, while Laras and Dion walk side by side in the back.
"After seeing all this, what do you feel, Race?" ask Dion suddenly.
Baras did not immediately reply, he gave a pause for a while before starting to open the voice with a heavy tone. "I don't know. It all hurts."
Dion breathed heavily. He knew it would not be easy for Laras to come to terms with his painful past.
"I will support whatever your decision is, Race. But, think carefully, what will you do in the future. I don't want you to sacrifice for your children, but I can't close my eyes on those two angels, Ras, either" Dion said with a faint smile at Laras. His hand was embracing Laras's shoulder, as a sign of his support for his little sister.
"Thank you, Yon. You have always supported me and supported me under any circumstances. Thanks, Bang." Baras returned Dion's embrace, placing one of his hands on the man's waist.
Both of them smiled even though there might be pain and hidden wounds in his heart. Reminding each other as brother sisters was the best thing they could do with each other. Maybe now is the time for Dion to help Laras. Someday, there will be a Baras turn that must help Dion in his problems.
At the same time, Ervin continued to pay attention to the interaction between Dion and Laras which he thought was quite awkward and too close. His heart suddenly felt hot, as if there was a blazing fire there. However, the man tried to hide it for the sake of a plan to approach Laras and his two children.
Are they not too close? However, they are still men and women. What if someone thought they were a pair?
Ervin grumbled inwardly. It seems he forgot Dion's clear remark saying that Laras was his sister.
...❤🩹...
After a break and lunch, Laras, Ervin, Dion, Nevan, and Nessa began a second activity, exploring. They will be given a map containing jungle trekking tracks.
Dion who became the chairman walked the front with the map in hand, while Laras who had also done this activity often, became the one who walked the back, while Ervin, Nevan, and Nessa, who was the one who walked the back, walk in the middle.
Although initially there was a debate between Ervin and Dion, because Ervin who did not agree Laras placed the rear. However, everything could be resolved carefully, as Laras did have trouble reading the map, so it had to be held by Dion. After all, all this time Laras was always behind, while his two children in the middle. That position also makes Laras more free to watch his two children, until he feels calmer.
Although it seems difficult, Ervin tried to balance Dion's steps so that Laras was not left behind. However, it turns out that walking in the forest is not as easy as he imagined, until several times he almost fell and slipped. Fortunately, Laras was always on standby to guard him.
Like this time, when Laras saw Ervin's path that was slightly limping from slipping a moment ago, the woman asked to stop to rest.
"You're not papa, are you?" dion asked while giving Ervin water to drink, because Ervin's drinking water had run out since then.
"I'm not papa, really. Just not used to walking on this terrain," Ervin replied after drinking water given by Dion.
Meanwhile, Laras chose to check on his two children, making sure they were not exhausted because the journey turned out to be quite long and draining.
"Where is he?" ask Dion.
"It's just a shower, a short break will also be good again" Dion replied casually.
Laras nodded, they took a break of about ten to fifteen minutes in that place, and resumed the journey that was still half left.
"I'm sorry, because I we're so much longer" said Ervin who now chooses to walk in tandem with Laras.
"If you want to help, you better take care of yourself, do not let you be more troublesome," Laras replied without any pity in the series.
Ervin nodded. He did not expect that their activities would be so exhausting like this, as there were Nevan and Nessa there, but it turned out that everything was wrong. Nevan and Nessa now look even fitter compared to him.
This is all for sure because after there is no Baras, I no longer pay attention to my health. I just realized, it's been a long time no longer exercising, inner Ervin, considering his activities for six years are only busy with office affairs.
In the afternoon, before sunset, they had just reached back to their respective tents. After resting for a while and cleaning himself, Laras also prepared a dinner menu, from various leftovers available.
Japanese dish called shabu-shabu, a simple and easy choice to make tonight. By providing two kinds of soups, raw vegetables, leftover meat slices made barbequ last night, and other supplements, dinner was served quickly and of course appetizing.
"Call him, I'm not sure he can prepare any food tonight" Laras told Dion. Although his mouth spoke, but his eyes did not look at Dion beside him at all.
"Cie, who is beginning to pay attention," teased Dion with a mocking smile.
"I just don't want us to be blamed for abandoning people, after torturing them," Laras replied, of course it's just an excuse or justification that he said without knowing what he really felt in the heart.
"alright. I'll call him," Dion nodded as he was about to walk away from Laras. However, his steps came to a halt when Nevan and Nessa called out to him.
"Let us call Papah" Nessa said excitedly as she pulled Nevan.
"alright. Be careful walking." Dion nodded casually.
Laras stared at the departure of his two children, although not too far away, but the distance between tents was also not close.
"Why again? You want to catch up with them and see the jerk's condition?" dion asked, back to flirting with Laras.
"Nothing! Who cares about him" replied Laras cynically.
"I'm just khawtair with my kids. You have the heart to tell them to just go horseback," continued Laras again even blame Dion.
The two debates did not end there, they still clashed until Nevan and Nessa's voices shocked the two.
"Mom, Uncle, Papah can't walk!" nevan and Nessa together.
"What do you mean?" asked Laras with a panicked face that he could no longer hide. She even unconsciously ran over to her two children. Meanwhile, Dion fell silent with a puzzled look, seeing Laras' reaction.
"What the fuck?" he said while standing with his face still looks dazed.
