MARRY MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 5

I slowly approached the Clouds and stood beside him. He took my hand and stood in front of me. He kept looking at me as if there was something to say but there was a bit of hesitation.

"Kas, we're still going but not according to the original plan" he said, looking at me afraid I was disappointed.

"No problem, I just follow" I replied, giving my best smile showing that I had no problem with his decision.

"But we're going to the hospital, daddy anfal," she said with teary eyes.

"Be assured Wan that everything will be fine" I said trying to comfort her.

Inside the car a quiet atmosphere and worries were evident in the eyes of the Clouds. Unlike the Clouds I used to meet, the Clouds are cheerful and playful. Indeed in recent months this heart disease suffered by his father often relapses and requires hospitalization. Sometimes I rub his shoulder as a form of support.

We arrived at the hospital and were greeted by his mother Awan. I can still recognize her, her beauty is durable, still the same as when almost twenty years passed. It's just that the hairstyle is different, if the hair used to be beautiful, now wrapped in the style of flight attendants.

We headed to the patient's room, where a man sat leaning back and reading a book. The good looks were clearly visible on the face of the Scottish-Javanese man. He smiled to welcome us.

"Daddy is not papa, only recommended rest," said his mother while arranging a pillow so that his father can comfortably sit back.

"So Ma'am Anti-telephone said daddy did not wake up" said Awan as he stood up to his father but his hand still held my hand.

"Mbak Anti right from the first time was so, it was easy to panic," his father said with a smile.

I glanced towards the Clouds, her tense face already slowly looking calm. His eyes kept staring at his father and his gaze showed that he was relieved to see his father was fine. He let go of his hand and took his father's hand. From the look of his eyes and the physical piercing done, it was clear how much Cloud loved his father.

"You're Love, right?" Said his mother who surprised me a little.

"Yes, ma'am." I replied, bowing slightly disrespectfully to him.

"When the Awan lecture was often willing to go with Love, use your photo as well, we finally met too," said his father continued the conversation and teased Awan.

I just smiled and lowered my head. A little embarrassed and curious what Cloud told her parents about me? I couldn't get stuck and feel trapped. I want to mess up my hair, but I have to keep my attitude to look sweet.

"That's a unique name. Awan also had a schoolmate named Kasih, his son was cute, cute, adorable. But the pity of being bullied kept the same Cloud." said her mother who made me want to laugh yet I tried to hold her back which I replied with a smile.

"It's not bullying mom, but clouds are rustling abis" Cloud said with a laugh.

"Stay a naughty cloud, has made him cry," protested his mother while trying to pull out the ears of Awan.

"Yes, that was before. Now it's Cloud's job to make her smile and be happy, isn't it Cash?" said the Clouds while looking gently at me.

I who initially only listened to their conversation was a little surprised by the Cloud's revelation. Like a man playing ball, I wasn't ready but the Awan passed the ball to me, and I couldn't catch it and it hit my face and the ball commentator called 'too fast The clouds gave their bait brothers'. Immediately I nodded my head at the confusion of what to say.

"What do you mean?" asked his mother while frowning.

"This is Love, Love that we discussed earlier, which according to the mommy victim of bullying," said Awan with a big smile like he just got the jackpot.

His mother walked over to me and hugged me. I welcome his embrace, a hug with the same feeling as he hugged me while apologizing for the mischief of his favorite son.

"I don't think we can still meet" he said, wrapping his hands around my waist.

"Actually it's a plan tonight to take Awan home, uh even like this," said Awan with a smile fluffy.

"So sorry, daddy ruined your plan" said his father, stroking Awan's back

"It's OK. Maybe next time we gather again for a lively, daddy must always take care of health," replied Awan while patting his father's shoulder.

After an exciting chat reminiscing about childhood, Me and Cloud went away. There was nothing to worry about his father's health. As his mother said, Awan's father just needs to rest, he is a workaholic, this is the way that he wants to rest. Maybe his father will be hospitalized for two or three days. Then the next Sunday night, we will gather again for dinner or a walk.

Me and Awan walked down the hospital corridor. Since officially dating her hand never took off holding me while walking. We reached the parking area and got into the car and then drove down the highway to a hotel that is quite famous in this city. He had an appointment with his co-worker briefly to sign a cooperation contract.

"You don't see a business associate but your clothes are like this?" ask me to question his super relaxed look.

"It's Saturday, baby. A relaxing day, outside of work hours, it's still a good thing I want to come" he said, patting me gently on the cheek.

Without diminishing respect, Awan asked me to sit at another table while he sat at my front desk opposite a man who was dressed very neatly. Awan ordered my favorite avocado juice and a plate of french fries. I took my phone from my bag to fill the waiting time. There was a long WA from Rayi that he basically protested because I went home without saying goodbye, and when he came to my house, I was gone.

[Sorry, I had a date with Awan] I replied to a chat that was sent an hour ago.

[Most?] his reply was short and quick to make me chuckle.

[Toggle?] ask me again

[ora] again a short reply.

[yes] I'm back again

If Rayi reply chat short-short means there are two possibilities, if not busy he could be badmood. Coincidentally the Clouds had also finished then sat down in front of me and enjoyed the french fries while looking at me deeply.

"You're beautiful, Kas" she said and her eyes did not escape me.

"Newly aware?" I said while blushing in shame.

"Udah was conscious a long time ago, but I don't know how to express. Just like I love you from the past but only able to say it," he said while holding my hand.

"I feel comfortable with you long ago, don't expect you to want to be with me, too" I replied as I looked into her eyes. Ah, if Rayi knew, she would have said more like a soap opera. No matter what Rayi said, I'm obviously very happy right now.

I asked to go home because usually on Saturdays I cleaned and tidied up the house. Cloud agreed and offered to help, but even if I refused, he insisted. We walked to the lobby and waited for the car to be taken valet for a while. From a distance a woman ran towards us while calling the Clouds and as far as I know she is Chloe, the woman who has claimed to be her boyfriend Awan.

"Don't look, pretend you don't know" Awan suggested as we rushed into the car and left the hotel area. I looked around for a moment and there was a crowd of people in the place you just left.
