S2: Two protectors
🌹VOTE YHEEE GHAISS🌹
Lily frowned, finding David more silent.
"What's up, David?"
And Lily knew something was wrong, it could be characterized by David hugging her then kissing her forehead for long without saying anything.
"David... What's wrong?"
"We put the kids to bed, okay?"
Lily nodded. But she held David's hand as her husband stayed away. He said, "Whatever happens, I will always be by your side. And everything's gonna be okay."
David smiled, he loved the warmth and calmness of his wife. "I know, Honey. I'll put Ares to bed first."
There Lily saw David who put on a cheerful face so out the door to meet his son. All the burden seems to be lost if in front of the child, but it is just a mask. Lily was afraid that David would put a mask on her.
When David puts Ares to sleep, Lily takes care of Athena.
Her daughter was easier to fall asleep, within minutes of reading the story, Athena was asleep. "Good night, little angel Mommy."
Lily kissed her forehead and then came out, she was waiting for David in the room.
Drowsiness began to strike, until David finally came. "Geez, I'm gonna have to pay the nanny more. Ares makes them dizzy."
Lily chuckled, she spread her hands. "You want to say something, don't you?"
David nodded, he clasped his wife's hand while sitting face to face. "Darling.I got word from Oma, that my mother died."
Lily's face turned pale. "A... what? Wh why? David, Oma's not kidding like you used to, is she?"
"No, it's real. She's….." David's voice was choked. "He hanged himself."
It was then that Lily hugged her husband instantly, she repeatedly kissed the top of David's head to give her husband strength.
"I have to go over there to take care of the funeral. My sister's brother is coming from America, I'm the oldest, so I should be able to explain."
Lily nodded. "We're going now."
"Not us." David let go of his embrace. "I'm alone."
"What?"
"Stay here, honey. I'm gonna go and find out the truth. If my business is done, I'll pick you up."

"Mom?"
Lily looked up as her daughter walked out of the room rubbing her eyes. "Darling, why are you out? Where is Nanny?"
Athena refused to answer, she spread her hand asking to be carried. And Lily did, she lifted Athena up and put her on her lap.
It's two o'clock in the night, and Lily hasn't slept. Lily's hand rubbed her daughter's head, while occasionally kissing her head trying to put her back to sleep.
David's departure to Indonesia makes Lily sad, let alone hear the news that Dena died. The absence of preparation to go home makes David decide to go home alone first, and he will pick up the children and his wife when the circumstances are conducive.
"Mom?"
Athena shook her head, she pitted her gaze at her mommy bead. "Where's Daddy?"
Indeed, David left after the child slept. "Daddy left for a while because of some business, the day after he came back here and walked the road again."
"He's going to be here again?"
"Sure, you're here. So Daddy's coming back."
Athena nodded in understanding, she leaned her head against her mommy's chest again.
"What's baby pinching?"
"No, lean on Mommy like this," said Lily holding back Athena who woke up. "Sleep yeah…. Tomorrow we'll play together."
Feeling her little daughter was asleep, Lily brought her back to the room. Where there the nanny is awake. "Is he looking for me?"
"Yes, Madam. Sorry I can't help it."
"It's okay" Lily put Athena to bed. "Stay watch over him."
"Okay, Madam."
Lily's legs are out of Athena's room after kissing her daughter's forehead. Now changing, he stepped into Ares' room.
Her nanny slept well on the soft carpet near the bed, which made Lily slowly come to kiss her son on the forehead. "Good sleep, sweetie."
Afterwards, Lily returned to her room. Where he was alone there staring at the pitch-black lake. Lily felt something bad was going to happen. Another fear, Lily feels guilty if Dena dies from her presence next to David.
Silence in the room did not make Lily close her eyes, she stared blankly as she rubbed her stomach that began to bulge.
Until finally we heard footsteps. Lily frowned. "Athena? Ares? Why are you guys up? Come here." Come here."
The two boys rubbed their eyes and climbed onto the bed. Lily beckoned the nannies to get back to rest.
She hugged her two children on different sides.
"Why awake?"
"Mommy can't be snubbed" said Athena. "So Thea woke upkal Ales."
The half-sleepy Ares nodded. "Don't worry, Mommy. You're not alone."
"Yes," added Athena who also started to close her eyes. "I'm belsama Mommy."
"We'll take care of Mommy."
Athena nods "Mommy's not fine, if there's BoogieMan bang Ales."
