After cleaning himself, Ervin chose to lay down in the tent until without feeling he fell asleep due to fatigue. However, his sleep was disturbed when the voices of the two children who called out to him and sounded drew closer.
"Father, mama's having dinner together. Let's have dinner together, Pah. Mamah already cooked you know," said Nessa while shaking Ervin's hand slowly. It turned out that the two children entered the tent because they did not also find the answer to the call.
Ervin opened his eyes, as if a dream had rubbed both eyes, when the image of two young children believed to be his children was right by his side.
"you guys? What's up, how come you're in the tent, Papah?" ervin asked as he sat down.
"Mama tell us to call Papah for dinner together," answered Nevan who had only been concerned about the entire narrow room that looked very neat and clean, even though Ervin lived alone there.
"Armgh!" Ervin groaned while holding his leg which suddenly felt pain instead of playing, even when his position had not sat perfectly.
"What why?" nessa asked with a panicked face. His eyes had even been teary from seeing Ervin in pain.
"Papah's legs are sick, let's call Mamah the same uncle," Nevan said in a tone that was no less frantic with Nessa, although her face was still more calm than her sister.
The two children immediately ran out and shouted to call the mother and Dion without thinking if there were also many other tent residents around.
"Your, Uncle! Papah can't walk!" yelled the two together while walking quickly towards their tent.
"What do you mean?" Baras immediately turned his attention to his two children. Unknowingly, the woman even ran over to Nessa and Nevan.
"That, Mah ... His leg hurt until he could not walk," replied Nessa so Laras up in front of him.
"Oh my goodness ...." Laras continued his steps towards Ervin's tent, the woman was seen coming straight in because the tent door was not closed and he was already worried.
"You why? Is the pain severe?" asked Laras as soon as he entered, to make Ervin who was already sitting at the end of the bed was only able to be silent with his shock. His eyes were unceasingly staring at the sudden presence of Laras. Now, Ervin is even confused to distinguish, what is this a dream what is the reality that is happening in front of him?
"Without?" ervin murmured softly, still in disbelief that Laras would approach him.
"Hey! Asked if he was dumb. Look, which leg hurts?" said Laras who even walked directly closer to Ervin and now stopped his steps right in front of the man.
"Ekhm!" Ervin cleared his throat slowly to make himself more aware, before answering Laras's question.
"Here, the right leg," Ervin continued, pointing to his right leg.
Barrel sitting next to Ervin's leg, he looks to check Ervin's leg which turns out there are some bruises there, also bruises on his ankle.
Ervin clutched the bed beside him, holding back the strange noise and the weight of the heart that was pounding faster just because of the touch from Laras' delicate hand. Now, not only was his heart reacting to Laras, his entire body even reacted with just a small touch from the woman's hand.
She never changed her perfume. The fragrance of his body was still the same as six years ago, Ervin's inner while inhaling in the scent of Laras' body that he longed for so much.
"It looks like you pushed yourself too much, your legs also sprained, but you ignored it, it got worse" Laras murmured after checking Ervin's leg. However, after that he was only aware of his attitude that he should not have done to Ervin. The barrel immediately stood back up with a clumsy gesture.
"I'll come back first, I'll have Dion bring the medicine, later" Laras said as he immediately turned around and walked out of the tent with quick steps.
"Am I wrong again?" muttered Ervin who did not know the reason for Laras who suddenly left his room in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Laras appears to cross paths with Dion who is already carrying a medicine box in his hand.
"Why him?" dion asked, without any suspicion at all. Dion tries to reconcile with the situation, realizing that Laras still harbors feelings for Ervin, though it may have long been buried with the wounds inflicted by the man.
"You have medicine? Good though. His legs were bruised, there were several bruises, and a sprain on his right ankle. You can take your own medicine, right?" asked Laras still with his clumsy and erroneous attitude.
Dion nodded, though he was still confused by Laras' attitude. The woman even immediately left him when she saw his nod.
"Ck!" Dion only clucked softly as he exhaled deeply before continuing his steps to enter Ervin's tent.
...ā¤āš©¹...
After dinner together, Laras delivers food to Ervin considering he still has to rest in his tent. At first he wanted to tell Dion to do it, but the man had a sudden meeting that left him sitting in his tent with his laptop on.
Both of her children were asleep due to exhaustion. They even fell asleep immediately after the dinner was over.
"Silence, Race. You only deliver dinner, nothing more. Don't be too obvious, okay," said Laras trying to give suggestions to himself so as not to be too nervous when dealing with Ervin.
Laras took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly before lifting the tray containing the dinner menu for Ervin and stepping his feet towards the father's tent of his children.
The woman was silent for a while in front of Ervin's tent door before starting to open it.
"I delivered dinner" said Laras, then entered when he heard Ervin's reply.
Arriving inside the tent, Laras saw Ervin still sitting at the end of the bed with a face that was getting pale.
"It is better to eat first, so that later you can take medicine," said Laras while putting a tray next to Ervin.
"Thank you, Ras. I'm sorry to bother you, instead" Ervin said in a soft, limp voice.
"If tau is troublesome, quickly eat and take the medicine," said Laras after preparing the drug to be taken by Ervin.
Ervin slowly took a bowl of soup and began to eat even though he did not taste at all, not because of the food is not good, but his whole body really hurt to interfere with his activities. Not to mention his head which also suddenly felt dizzy. Akh, it's all so embarrassing that it feels like Ervin doesn't have any more face in front of Laras.
"It looks like you also have a fever" Laras said after measuring Ervin's body temperature. Fortunately, he always prepares all health needs when traveling, considering activities like this will be far from the health center. There were two other children with him. Of course, Laras must always be vigilant in all situations.
"I'm sorry, Ras. I've done a lot wrong to you" Ervin murmured suddenly, which made Laras turn his attention to the man.
Laras reluctantly retaliates, pretending not to hear what Ervin has to say. Really, he was still confused by his feelings for the man, making it difficult to answer Ervin's request.
"Iā"
