Sharing Love: One Roof of Three Hearts

Sharing Love: One Roof of Three Hearts
My dear mother Arlan


Alana's body slumped down upon hearing Lily's words. Body shaking. Guilt now haunts him. Because of his selfishness to maintain self-esteem and also a promise to Lily and Santi, his son who became a victim.


His little Arlan was the victim of their selfishness, including Alana. It's very desirable tonight that he goes to the hospital, but tomorrow morning he has to check the shop first. Tatiana is overseas with her husband Arkana, so leave the store to Alana. He also couldn't possibly say the reason the child was sick, because as far as Tatiana knew she was still a girl, she didn't want to ruin the good woman's trust.


"Yes brother. I'll be there tomorrow afternoon. I need to check my work first. Arlan's guard brother, yes, wait for me to come" Alana said before hanging up the phone.


Until the early hours of the morning Alana could not be closed for a second. The shadow of Arlan's face that was crying in pain, the cold made her endlessly cry.


By dawn, then Alana can be closed. But just an hour into sleep, Alana gasps from her nightmare. In his dream Arlan was unceasingly crying, his hands constantly waving at Alana. When Alana approaches and wants to hold Arlan, the boy suddenly disappears and turns into a white mist. It was then that Alana gasped and came back crying.

"Wake up hun, move to the bed there" said Lily touching the shoulder of Arun who was asleep on the side of the bed. The man was only able to fall asleep for two hours, keeping watch. At midnight, Arlan wakes up and cries again, Arun who keeps standing watching the medical team examine Arlan until the baby is calm again and can sleep again. It was only after, regardless of when he forgot, when he put his head near Arlan's hand, that Arun fell asleep.


"What time is it?" Arun rubbed his eyes, trying to sip the cold morning air.


"Still at 6 hun. You go home first, rest at home, make it more comfortable. Let me take care of our son"


Leaving Arlan was very difficult, but she did need to change clothes, so she chose to go home for a while just to change clothes. He also had to notify the office for permission not to enter today. His son's recovery is more than anything else.


"alright. While Arlan was still sleeping, I went home for a while. If there's anything tell me directly" Lily just nodded.

The effect of staying up all night, making Arun not focused on driving, almost hit a truck that drove from the front. Sleepiness attacked him. For two days he did not sleep enough. Arun so sorry to drink up drunk which led to having to sleep in the office. Even in the office he could not sleep, he kept thinking about Alana.


And all night keeping Arlan really makes his body can no longer be conditioned to keep working, even just awake.


The towel he had already held was thrown to the side of the chair. Intention to bathe was defeated by seduction drowsiness. Arun considered going to sleep for two hours, and Arlan was still sleeping. Later when he returned to the hospital, it will be right when his son was awake.

After checking the stock of materials in the pantry, Alana handed over the responsibility of taking care of the store to Nita, one of the employees who had also worked there for a long time.


"Nit, I'll let you out for a second. I have an urgent need" he said.


"Casual Al. Go, anyways this is also my responsibility to take care of the store" said Nita who is very good to him. If other employees do not like Alana because Tatiana considers her a golden child because she is smart to cook, Nita is friendly and willing to be sincere friends with Alana.


Before leaving, Alana sends Lily a message. The old number is already inactive, when Alana received a call from Lily last night, she was binging her brother got his number from where. But it doesn't matter, whoever gave Lily her number, it's just right. Because he will be even more sorry if he does not get news about his son.


A knock on the door made Lily rise immediately. He could guess who was coming. "Al. you've finally come" Lily said after opening the door, hugging Alana.


"I'm sorry Al. Because I'm Arlan so go to the hospital" he said sobbing. Her guilt makes Lily always cry when she remembers Arlan's situation.


"Sister, don't cry anymore. What matters is that Arlan is fine now. I want to see Arlan first sister" said Alana uphold Lily's body.


Alana's shaking legs stepped closer to the bed. The baby was there fast asleep.


The circumference of his eyes looked blackened, maybe it was because Arlan had difficulty sleeping for several days, until diarrhea attacked him.


Alana Lily has admitted everything. There's nothing Lily can hide, because she's afraid that if she's dishonest then what's at stake is Arlan's life.


One can think of him as evil, because it separates Arlan from his mother, but only God and Lily know how much he loves the boy.


As if coincidentally, when Alana's hand touched Arlan's cheek, minutes later the boy woke up, crying so loud that Lily panicked again. Well, Lily's been traumatized. Before taking Arlan to the hospital, Lily tried to calm down Arlan who was crying by giving him more milk, until the boy gasped and after removing his dodot, Arlan cried as hard as he could, Arlan said, lily was panicking.


So now that Lily heard Arlan's crying voice, she would be terrified. "Where is Al, why is Arlan crying so hard?"


Not responding to Lily's panic, Alana immediately carried Arlan, kissing her son's cheek. "Darling.this is my mom. Don't cry. I'm sorry my mom left Arlan. Shut up baby.mama here, will take care of Arlan. dear mama.." said Alana repeatedly.


Miraculously, as if understanding Alana's words, Alana's gentle hand caress on Arlan's back kept the two-month-old still. Just a little whine.


"Sister, please hold Arlan back" Alana said.


But stupid Lily shook her head. "I'm afraid Al, if I'm the one who's carrying he'll cry again"


Alana had no choice but to put Arlan on the bed, then rushed to the bathroom. From inside the incense sound Arlan sound that is getting louder again crying.


"Snap Al, what the hell are you doing in the bathroom?" salak Lily was getting confused. Arlan's cry made his brain freeze, not knowing to think right.


Alan came out, with the buttons of the top shirt he had opened. Alana has cleaned her breast skin with warm water. He doesn't want Arlan to get bacteria from the dust that might have stuck to Alana's skin.


In a hurry, Alana held her baby who was still crying loudly. "Dear mom..Arlan's thirsty, son?"


After finding the center of his life, Arlan shuts up, packing up every drop he needs. As if a long-lost opportunity, now he can embrace again. "Dear Mama Arlan.."whispered Alana removed the fallen clear feathers.
