Not an Ordinary Widower
Chapter 5 Bonuses


Rosalina was shocked because her hand felt held by someone. And sure enough, when he turned his head it turned out that Kenzo was holding his hand until his footsteps stopped.


Rosalina's eyes looked as if asking Kenzo and she understood the meaning of Rosalina's gaze.


"Please accompany me here" said Kenzo Lirih as if powerless.


Then he closed his eyes again. And let go of Rosalina's hand weakly.


Rosalina could not bear to see such a weak Kenzo. He also could not let anyone who was in need of his help.


Rosalina took the chair inside the room. He placed the chair next to Kenzo's bed.


His hands always checked Kenzo's body temperature by placing it on Kenzo's forehead.


For some reason, the baby Chintya was very sound asleep, as if she knew that her papa was sick at the moment.


In the early hours of the morning, Kenzo's eyes opened and he found Rosalina still nearby. More precisely he was asleep at this time near Kenzo with a sitting position.


Rosalina's head was placed on the edge of Kenzo's empty bed untouched by Kenzo's body.


Kenzo looked at Rosalina's soothing face as her eyes closed like that. He recalled what happened last night.


Has he been here all night? What about Chintya? Is he not as cranky as usual? those questions were only able to be spoken by Kenzo in his heart.


Without her noticing, her lips smiled looking at Rosalina's peaceful face while sleeping. His hand involuntarily stretched out above Rosalina's head and rubbed her slowly.


I don't know what made Kenzo act like that to Rosalina. He also did not know why he had told Rosalina to wait for him inside his room.


Actually last night the trauma came back. Every time someone brought up Levia, his late wife, Kenzo would have nightmares, sometimes he was delirious and could not sleep well.


However, last night he not only had bad dreams and delirium, his body was hot accompanied by cold sweat that flooded his body.


Slowly Rosalina's eyes opened, and Kenzo whose hands were still on Rosalina's head immediately lowered her hands slowly and closed her eyes again, pretending to be asleep.


Rosalina was surprised to find herself falling asleep in such a position.


"Okay.can-can I fall asleep while looking after people who are sick. How is he? Is his body not hot anymore?" rosalina said as she placed the back of her hand against Kenzo's forehead.


"Thank God the heat is gone. Oh yeah Chintya, last night she didn't cry at all. I'd better see now" he said later.


With a brisk walk Rosalina rushed towards the baby Chintya's room. It turns out that baby Chintya is still sleeping soundly, unlike usual she often woke up and cried fussy until a long time silent.


It turned out that Chintya really did not wake up. Why would he be so different if he was taken care of by Rosalina? Kenzo said in his heart.


His eyes were closed again when he heard the sound of foot clattering which he believed was Rosalina's footsteps leading to his room.


It was true what Kenzo thought. Rosalina went into her room with a bowl of porridge and a glass of water.


"I put it here just once. He might not know, right? Masa' he doesn't know? You must know," Rosalina monologue with her doubts.


"Ah than it will be cold not eaten, mending I wake up just deh. Stupid is very diomelin. Than redundancy, right?" rosalina is back.


Rosalina was able to make a laugh in Kenzo's heart. However, with all her might she held him back so that his laughter would not come out of her mouth.


"Om, Om, Om Kenzo, wake up Om. This is still warm porridge. Eat first Om, after that take the medicine," said Rosalina while patting softly Kenzo's hand.


"It used to be Om" said Rosalina when she saw Kenzo's eyes were open.


Rosalina gave the bowl of porridge in front of Kenzo, and Kenzo just looked at it without intending to accept it.


"Om going to be bribed again?" ceplos Rosalina without thinking.


Kenzo was silent and just looked at Rosalina with a word in his heart,


Bribe me!


As if knowing the meaning of Kenzo's eyes on him, without thinking anything Rosalina took the spoon in the bowl and fed the porridge for a bite into Kenzo's mouth.


"Om, you know what, Om like a kid when it's sick. Do you know Chintya? Luckily Chintya Pinter, she didn't wake up all night. Her sleep is so good. Maybe she knew that her father was sick and that the baby sitter was borrowed by her father to take care of her."


Rosalina grumbles at Kenzo as she feeds the porridge into Kenzo's mouth.


Kenzo closed his mouth and stared intently at Rosalina. Seeing that Rosalina only realized that she was too presumptuous to nag her host.


Rosalina's lips were tightly closed and she smiled without opening her lips, trying to make Kenzo not get angry at her.


"Yet sincere? Do not be sincere," said Kenzo Lirih with an intense look at Rosalina's eyes.


"Eh no Om, sincere, sincere even. We as human beings should help you, Om, "said Rosalina with a big smile and feed back the remaining porridge in the bowl into Kenzo's mouth.


"Tumben Bik Narmi has come?" kenzo asked after swallowing the porridge.


"Not come yet, Om," replied Rosalina as she fed back the last remaining porridge in the bowl.


"Was this?" kenzo asked, pointing at the empty bowl of porridge with his eyes.


"I made it. Why, um, not good? I tasted good" said Rosalina in fear.


"Enak. Do you usually cook?" ask Kenzo back.


"I used to do homework. Anyway if only cook porridge is easy Om. I'm used to taking care of my sisters and if they're sick, I take care of them too" Rosalina replied proudly.


Kenzo smiled faintly looking at the look of pride from Rosalina after she was frightened at the time when asked by him.


"Later I will definitely give you a bonus for taking care of me who is sick," said Kenzo as he reached for a glass filled with water on his nightstand.


Deftly Rosalina took the glass and gave it to Kenzo along with the medicine.


"What, Om, promise?" rosalina asked to convince her hearing.


Kenzo nodded, then he arranged his pillow to be used to sleep again.


"If so often you get sick, so I can take care of Om, so I can get a bonus continuously" said Rosalina while chuckling.


"Then you massage me, so you can get another bonus" Kenzo said, intending to judge Rosalina.


"What?!" rosalina couldn't believe what she was hearing.
