In the evening Elvis and Adira exchanged stories, they filled the time together with small things that are very simple, although done in the hospital but both are equally happy.
"El guess the bread that Oma gave the strawberry because it was red, so El ate. But when El woke up El's head was so dizzy, he was taken to the hospital" the story tells the first incident he could get into the hospital, so he could go to the hospital, it wasn't that he had deliberately eaten the cherry jam to get sick.
"Oma doesn't know what foods make El allergic?"
Honestly Elvis nodded.
"No idea, Oma never did either" he replied innocently.
Adira could only sigh, nor did she completely blame the Elvis family, let alone her grandmother. Adira understood because Elvis was improperly taken care of by a middle-aged lung woman who should not do heavy things.
When Elvis was three years old when Adira did not know what allergies Elvis suffered, the child also never got treated for eating cherries from the birthday cake of one of his friends.
Since then Adira became very wary of anything her son consumed, because the allergy that Elvis experienced was not a mild symptom like ordinary people.
"Yes, now the others know. El will definitely be fine in the future, but still have to be vigilant as well" Adira gave a message.
"Yes, it's my mom who's going to be watching El. El will not be sick again" said Elvis confidently, without him knowing it actually adds to the burden of Adira's mind, which is more, because the 30-year-old woman has not been able to determine whether to stay beside Elvis or not.
Cleckk....
The sound of the door opening made the pair of children and the mother turned to the direction the sound came from, it turned out that the man who had disappeared had finally returned as well.
A moment Adira's gaze collided with the person, but this time the man broke eye contact first.
"El haven't slept?" Ask while approaching the bed.
Instead of answering Elvis asked the question, "Om Eza, how is it here? It was late at night" he was confused.
"The father who will accompany El tonight, Oma and Opah will sleep at home" he replied, a little embarrassed because Elvis still called him Om in front of Adira, Eza felt lowered his pride in front of this woman.
While Adira did not comment anything, although he also thought that Elvis still could not consider Eza his father until now.
"There was Adira's mother who took care of El" he continued.
Mama?? Even he who incidentally is the biological father has not been called papah by the child, Eza immediately envied.
"It's okay, after all, it should be the papah who is guarding El tonight" Eza quipped someone.
The person being insinuated simply remains silent without expression, either insensitive or intentionally unresponsive.
"Om not going to tell Mama Adira to leave, right?" He said with caution, remembering the farewell that Eza did to them. This time he would not let the grown man do it.
Eza also glanced cynically at Adira who sat there, even the boy showed his ugliness in front of Adira, making his image fall even more.
"Father ain't that nice, baby. He can be here if you want" Eza replied showing his good side to Elvis, he did not want to look bad if juxtaposed with the woman.
"El wants Mama Adira here, until El recovers and so on. Can you, Om?" El is hopeful, although the grandmother has said Adira will stay with him but Elvis also wants to hear from Eza's mouth.
"Importantly El healed first, papah will follow El's request as long as you are still here" said Eza hanging.
"Have I taken the medicine?" Eza switched the conversation and was answered by a nod by the baby.
"Smart kid, then why haven't you slept yet?"
"El still wants to talk to mama" said Elvis, Eza snorted small as if the existence of Adira even makes Elvis do not remember health.
"Sleep now, El. You're still sick, have to remember the time and condition" Eza ordered firmly but still in the tone as smooth as possible.
"El..... Don't argue, honey. Tomorrow we can tell more stories, mama is also sleepy. We sleep yuk" Adira interjected, not wanting to arise a debate between the two men of different generations.
"Mama's sleepy? How did you not say that? We are sleeping now"
Adira then enveloped Elvis and pretended to fall asleep in his sitting position.
Instead of sleeping, Elvis opened his eyes again.
"Your mom slept there? Here, just get on the bed. Enough for both" he asked while shifting his body.
"No need, son. Mama sleeps while sitting down" Adira refused, there is no way she accepted Elvis' invitation, let alone Eza here.
"Mama sleeps here! El wants to sleep while hugging mom...!" Whining Elvis, seeing that Adira had a glance towards Eza. He was confused how to act.
"Mama hugs while sitting, yes, you can" Adira looking for an excuse.
"It's not comfortable if it's like that, just ride. Here ma......!"
"But El......."
"Don't refuse!" argue Eza.
Adira looked up for a moment, Eza then said again.
"According to her request, don't make her cry" she continued coldly.
Hearing the sentence of the command Adira to gulp his saliva, not unwilling to sleep on the bed while hugging Elvis, but he was too embarrassed if he had to do in front of foreign men.
"Yyyyyyyyy........"
Not wanting to make the child continue to whine, Adira finally climbed up to the top of the cage and positioned her body tilted to make it easier for Elvis to embrace her.
In the arms of Adira Elvis fell asleep peacefully, very comfortable and warm, the scent of Adira's body also made his mind calm.
Adira was still awake while gently rubbing her son's back, while several times kissing the head of Elvis.
"Sleep well, baby. Good night"
***
Half an hour later Adira felt her stomach ringing so inevitably Adira woke up because her sleep was disturbed.
Again his stomach shook and felt sore, Adira just remembered if he had not eaten since morning. It's worth the stomach rumbling until it can't be held.
Adira sees her son sleeping soundly, maybe he can go out first to buy some food for a while, it looks like Elvis will not wake up.
Adira very carefully removed Elvis' head from his arm, then slowly stepped down from the patient's bed.
When looking at the sofa Adira saw Eza who was busy with his laptop.
"What time is this?" Mumbled Adira looking for a wall clock that showed at half eleven p.m.
"It was late, but I had to get out" carrying a cell phone and money in a bag, Adira walked to the door.
Just now he opened the door of the room, unexpectedly the figure who had been sitting on the sofa opened his voice.
"Where are you going?"
