So In Love
EP. 72. Overseas?

********

“Hei. . .” Nathan took a seat by the pool, next to Shien, who was staring blankly at the calm pool water with some of his legs deliberately dipped in the water.

“Good boy girl malem-malem outside.” Nathan tries to attract the attention of Shien who is still speechless with no interest. “Let's someone else kidnap.”

Shien snorted small. “At home alone who wants to kidnap?”

“Good guys.” Nathan pointed to himself while playing his eyebrows.

Shien rolled his eyes lazily. Do all the handsome-looking men in this world always have such a level of self-confidence that goes beyond such limits? Hid.

“Nobody ngakuinnya, yes, until have to muji-muji himself like that?” Shien Cibir.

Nathan chuckled slightly, then recklessly splashed the pool water onto Shien's face, making the girl glare at him with a resentful and sharp look. “So girls can't jutek-jutek. Later not sell.”

“You did not sell.” Sahut Shien was upset while rubbing his face that was hit by splashes of water. While Nathan only harrumphed amusedly, then looked at Shien for a bit before then throwing his gaze into the pool.

“Shien. . .” Call Nathan, join dipping his feet in the water after previously he rolled up jeans worn to the calf.

“Hmm.” Shien was lazy, his eyes were twitching, a little sore from being hit by water.

“Do you have any thoughts on treatment abroad? America or Germany for example?” Nathan asked cautiously, making a gesture of Shien's hand rubbing his eyes instantly come to a halt.

Shien then turned his head towards the man, his eyes flickering innocently. “Autside?” Ask ensures.

Nathan nodded his head slowly. “Although it will still be difficult to get a donor, but at least the treatment there is much better.”

Shien let out a heavy sigh, then exhaled slowly. He turned his gaze back, bowing to the swimming pool as his feet in the water swung slowly.

“Why?” Shien smiled wryly, his gaze blankly looking at the moving pool water choppy due to the swing of his legs. “Not the hospital here is also the best? Or have you lost your confidence as a doctor, brother? You give up on me?” Shien is skeptical.

“Not so.” Nathan's rebutting fast. “Just if there you can focus more on your treatment. Not divided into cooperation or other things that can make you a lot of thoughts.” Clearly then, hoping Shien could consider his suggestion.

The girl was silent with a bright mind, until her silence between herself and Nathan. Even the singing of the night beast momentarily took over the conversation.

“I've spoken to Om and Auntie. They don't mind. Om same Aunt just want the best for you.” Added Nathan.

Shien raised his head, then looked at Nathan doubtfully. As if something was stirring in his mind, it emanated very clearly through the strokes of his shoulder face. Something was holding Shien back from continuing to think again and again.

“Shien, what else do you think?” Nathan's spray looking at Shien looked heavy-hearted.

“Langit?” Guess cynical. His good view of Heaven completely changed after seeing his behavior in Dufan that time. “If he really is with you, he won't mind. He can definitely wait for you even without a time limit.”

Shien sighed softly, not pestering as if justifying Nathan's guess at his thoughts.

“For more than six months after we meet again, usually you will be selfish above anyone. But, why now so bucin gini and think more of him above all else?” Nathan Cibir.

“Ihh, who's bucin?” Elak Shien threw away his gaze from Nathan.

“So?” Nathan asked defiantly.

“I’ll think about it.” Shien replied without thinking any longer.

Shien earnestly, he would consider it.

Nathan who heard that smiled wryly. “Then so don't be moody anymore.” The man again splashed the pool water right on Shien's face making him squeal in annoyance.

“NATHAN.” Shien yelled annoyed, then returned to splash water on Nathan, but the man managed to push his face using his hands until the water did not hit him.

“Whose parts are moody? Basic sok knows.” Gerrutu Shien while mendelik sewot.

“Om same Aunt who said that you continue to insulate yourself in the room.” Nathan said, making Shien unable to dodge anymore.

“Dih, kayak less work aja.” The lead then nudged Shien's foot in the water. Shien nudged him back violently, more precisely kicking Nathan's leg, but a moment later he grimaced because kicking Nathan's leg was the same as kicking the wall, Shien's leg was sore.

“If you are sad then find entertainment so no stress.” Said Nathan, now next to his feet kicking small legs Shien fat. “Ehh, forgot. Shien, right, kuper. Where do you know a fun entertainment place.” The lead was again accompanied by an irritating-sounding laugh, making Shien automatically snort mischievously.

“Losing one donor is not the end of everything. You will not die because of that.” Nathan kept trying to comfort the girl sitting next to him. “So, quite sad and remain optimistic, hum?” Then in a fit of anxiety he ruffled Shien's hair full of affection.

“Ish. . .” Shien snorted bitterly while removing Nathan's hand from his head.

A moment later, his gaze was fixed on the something behind Nathan's maroon red flight jacket that stood out and twitched.

By the way, since just one hand Nathan also seemed to rub his stomach occasionally like a pregnant woman. It's just that, Shien just regained consciousness. One of his index fingers is stretched out, touching the moving object behind Nathan's jacket while throwing a questionable gaze.

Nathan smiled mysteriously, then unzipped his jacket slowly. Shien was slightly aghast and reflexes distanced his body once a small, hairy animal with long ears emerged from behind the jacket. A Havana rabbit tanned like a typical Cuban cigar, looking calm in Nathan's arms, his nose sniffing funny.

“Rabbit?” Shien again shifted his body, touching the delicate fur of the already tame ornamental rabbit.

Nathan rolled his eyeballs lazily, then picked up the rabbit to then kiss him fatigued. “Cats, Shi.”

“Serious.” Shien hit Nathan's back hard enough to make the man bend his body slightly back.

“Ya seriously this rabbit, although already big also may not you forget the formation of rabbits like how.” Nathan's words were fierce, anxious himself. It felt like he dipped Shien's head into the pool so that the girl could think well.

“I mean, why did you bring a rabbit here?” Bright Shien goes with the gregetan.

Nathan rounded his mouth for a moment, before he answered. “Make you keep.” Then force the rabbit into Shien's hands, making Shien inevitably have to hold on and stroke the rabbit to keep him calm.

“You think I'm out of work?” Shien protested with an annoyed look.

“That's better than bragging yourself in the room.” Nathan said he didn't care about Shien's protests.

“The cage is coming. . .”

Shien, who had just opened his mouth to greet Nathan, immediately paused as Papa came from the warehouse with both hands looking bothered to bring a rabbit cage that was already a little rusty to age.

“So this story is a surprise?” Shien asked, yet it sounded more like a sneer as if to say that he was not surprised at all.

If he was a child, he might be surprised and shout for joy at the gift of a furry cute creature that has long ears, but Shien is an adult now. Nathan is too childish. Or did he assume that Shien was the old Shien? The seven-year-old Shien whom he often calls little rabbits because Shien used to have rabbit teeth on his upper incisors? Huo.

“Dihh, why give surprise to you?” Nathan slowly pulled Shien's head together, then moved up and walked over to Papa, who was sitting near the gazebo to check on the rabbit cage. In the next instant, Shien followed the man by carrying the rabbit in his arms.

“The cage is still okay.” Papa muttered while cleaning the cage measuring 100 x 50 cm made of iron using a kemoceng because the cage was filled with cobwebs.

“While use this cage first, Shi. Tomorrow we tell Mang Udin to make a better cage. Papa has a reference, you know.” Papa said seriously and eagerly like planning a proposal for a big project in his company, while Shien just fell silent without interest. Wanting the rabbit to be removed, Shien would not care.

After making sure the cage was completely clean, Papa then took over the rabbit giving Nathan from Shien's arms, then told the youngest daughter to take all the green vegetables from the refrigerator. Shien lazily complied and went to the kitchen which was not too far away when reached from the gazebo.

For a long time the three of them chatted outside while observing the rabbit who did not stop eating it. Ahh, no. More precisely, only Papa and Nathan controlled the chat.

The two discussed various kinds of ornamental rabbits along with the price and how to care, they were very serious as if discussing cooperation in business.

While the real Shien was indeed very fond of rabbits, the girl chose to feed the rabbits by directing one by one the fresh lettuce leaves she had taken from the refrigerator towards the rabbit's mouth. Shien smiled faintly when he saw the rabbit chop the vegetables quickly. He immediately remembered the little boy named Biel whom he had met this afternoon. The way they eat is not much different from rabbits.

However, Shien is occasionally irritated when Nathan suddenly sneers Shien's finger toward the rabbit's mouth. Clearly it made Shien yell in annoyance and directly throw him with vegetables.

Papa who saw their little quarrel was just a head bobble, anxious about the behavior of the two. And then he remembered Shawn. Maybe if he was still around, it wouldn't be much different from Nathan because Shawn likes to judge people.

In addition, Papa also smiled in relief because Shien was no longer as shy as before.

The three of them dissolve the excitement of playing with a fluffy object and shiny benama rabbit. Even the late night did not make them immediately move and stop their activities.

And without the three of them noticing, there was a pair of eyes that looked at them not far from there hatefully. The glint of his eyes showed that he did not like the view he was seeing.

A cynical grin was riveted from one corner of his lip wrapped in a bright red lipstick.

Shien exhaled lazily, for as soon as he came out of his room, he found Shanna who was also equally prepared to go to work and come down to breakfast.

Then, without intending to give a good morning greeting, Shien's feet still wrapped in home sandals moved forward first. Ignoring Shanna who was looking cynically at him.

“Do not be greedy.” Shanna half-shouted, but did not make Shien stop his steps. Really, Shien was too lazy to fight this early.

“You are already with the Sky, but still seduce another guy.” Shanna pulled Shien's wrist violently to stop the girl's footsteps that were just about to touch the first rung.

Shien was silent, his eyes twitching in confusion, trying to digest Shanna's words. As he remembered, he had never seduced any man, let alone any other man. Underline, including the Sky. Shien did not seduce her either. Shien thought, there might be something wrong with the contents of Shanna's head.

“Lepasin Langit and you can be free same brother Niel.” Shanna said with orders. But Shien remained as calm as possible. In his heart he had oohh ria, so Nathan was the other man Shanna meant.

“You're the same he's more suitable.” Imbuh Shanna accompanied by a wry smile.

“Thank you for the advice and comments. But I'm not interested.” Shien threw out Shanna's hand which gripped her wrist. He then hurriedly left, leaving Shanna who was holding back furiously with both hands clenched to the side of the black span skirt above the knees she was wearing.

After finishing breakfast with a family-style spruce family atmosphere that actually Shien really want to miss it. Because while at the dinner table, he had to make a show to pretend to be okay with Shanna. Ahh, Shien really dislikes this situation.

A thought of moving back to Aunt Hilda's house flashed across her head. But, maybe he should find a clear reason first if he wants to do it.

Shien left the very end after a while ago Papa left for the office, as well as Mama who had also gone for monthly shopping to the supermarket accompanied by Auntie.

After the death of his parents, currently only he and Shanna are happy where, Shien does not want to know and does not care.

Shien took his khak color flat shoes off the shoe rack, but he suddenly complained in pain when something hurt the sole of his right foot that he had just put in the shoe.

The shard that came out of nowhere suddenly inside the shoe injured and stuck in the sole of his foot deep enough, fresh blood was seen flowing and imprinted on the shard that he had forcibly removed.

Shien immediately distanced the shard and he threw it right into the flower pot, timidly injuring others if he threw it away.

Shien then sat down on the porch seat of the house to check how badly his wound was, but his intention was unbroken when he saw Shanna coming out of the house and was currently standing before him with a satisfied grin.

“Your work, right?” Shien shoot directly. She laughed in her heart, not thinking if her own brother did something cheap like this. Ck, why not just kill him?

“This is just a small bluff. I can do something much worse than this if you still haven't let go of Sky.” Shanna said casually, not evading Shien's accusation which turned out to be true. Though, in her little heart Shien still hoped that Shanna would deny. But, in fact, the colorful haired girl even admitted it lightly.

“Psycho.” As Shien growled, the look in his eyes looked at Shanna with a cold look..

Shanna laughed sarcastically, her hands smothering haughtily. “Whatever you say, Shienna.” Then the girl passed from before Shien, walking towards his car parked in the yard.

Shien exhaled heavily as soon as Shanna and her car disappeared from his sight. He grimaced when he felt pain due to the wound on the soles of his feet. But, his heart was much more painful than that wound.

He swallowed his suddenly bitter saliva along with the clear liquid that began to pool in his eye fertilizers.

Shien wiped the tears on his face that had fallen fast as the ringing of the incoming call sign on his phone rang out.

Fina's name appears on her flickering phone screen. Shien hurriedly shifted the green icon to answer the call.

“Shien, quickly come to the office. There is a problem with your new book.”
