hospital romance.....? 4

"Mommy, sleep"

Elio who was in Leo's lap extended his hand towards me

I looked up and asked Elisha for approval, I was afraid to offend Elio's biological mother who should have been more entitled to receive that tiny helping hand

"Mommy"

Elio impatiently called back to me, with his eyes already starting to glare and lips curled up ready to cry

this afternoon Elisha came alone to bring some food and change clothes for us who were here

while Mommy has to go to her boutique, Daddy and Luca also have to work in their respective offices

Louis....?

he was busy meeting with colleagues who were accompanied by Sam from the start of breakfast and the drama he had with Elio and Leora this morning

Elisha held Elio in his arms to make the adorable toddler wriggle and cry loudly

"uuuuaaaaa Mommy, nooo, uuuaaaa with Mommy uuuaaa"

"ok, ok, don't cry baby"

Elisha tried to calm her down while walking closer to me

elio's hand quickly reached out and asked me to hold him

I welcomed her as much as I could, though I could bear the pain, but because my hand had to wear a bandage made it a little difficult for me to move, moreover, the one on the left coupled with the infusion hose that limited my hand movements, it was more than just a little disturbing

quickly her cries gradually watered as my hands constantly gave a warm sweep on her back

"sorry"

I sincerely apologize to Elisha, I can't do anything either, I can't force Elio to stay away from me

I was actually also quite confused as to why this adorable toddler could instantly get along with me

but anyway I quite understand, a little or a lot of Elisha must feel sadness when he saw how Elio who prefers to be with me especially if remembering the incident yesterday

hhuuffff

"it's ok, you are also he's Mom"

he smiled warmly, maybe he was trying to calm me down who was still feeling unwell

"later, I Will tell you my story, and maybe after that you Will understand why Elio being like this"

"Sure, anytime, you can tell me anytime"

I agreed to listen to her story, whenever Elisha was ready to tell

the sound of the HP ringtone broke the brief silence created in the room that was previously crowded with Elio's cries

it turned out that the sound came from Elisa's HP above the sofa

he picked it up and spoke briefly to the person over there in Italian before saying goodbye to his restaurant

after Elisha left, Leo and Leora also said goodbye

the room again deserted leaving Louis' voice that was giving direction to Sam occasionally

Elio has sailed to the island of dreams wading the beautiful fantasy world created by his high imagination

the atmosphere was quiet with the rhythm of Elio's breath that regularly made my eyes slick because drowsiness had begun to say hello

I tried to shift my back to get into a suitable position

sleep is not a bad thing to do

I tried to close my eyes to pick up the dream and also save energy in order to be used for the healing process

excuses!

******

I felt the warm touch of a large hand caressing the tip of my head, I no longer felt the weight of Elio's body that had fallen on my lap

I slowly opened my eyes and found Louis lying next to me, his hands gently rubbing at the tops of my head and temples

"Assalamualaikum, Albi"

he whispered softly

"wa'alaikum salam warohmatullah"

after answering his greetings I fell silent to read as do'a that was always reflected in each of these open eyes

"why are you awake....?"

Louis asked in the same position

"what time...?"

not disrespectful, but I was also confused if asked why I was awake, because it was time to wake up

"it's only two o'clock in the afternoon"

I tried to shift my position so that I could at least face Louis, but what power my hand could not compromise

I finally had to fall into a supine sleeping position

"Elio....?"

I asked about the adorable little creature that became a solace when lonely say hello

"he's still sleeping"

Louis moved his chin to point at the mini bed now occupied by Elio, he was asleep in a position that successfully made me laugh

he slept wearing only clothes and diapers with the hands he put on his hips as if he was trying to pat his padlock's buttocks, regardless of where the pants Elio was wearing earlier

"could that....?"

"he woke up because his diaper was full, when he wanted to wear pants, his pants were even thrown away"

I giggled amusedly as Louis told me where the pants worn by the adorable toddler went, I'm sure Elio must have insisted on not wearing his pants back, maybe they had a fight earlier

Elio VS Louis

definitely adorable

"how was the meeting....?"

it has been a long time since we have spent getting to know each other better

to be honest there are still many things that I do not know and do not understand about Louis including how he can embrace Islam

"well, everything's going well"

I don't really know much about business, but at least I want to share the joys and sorrows in every step he takes, so I can position myself and be Louis' place to lean on

"alhamdulillaah, eeemmm approximately until when will we be at Daddy's house....?"

I asked not because I do not like to be here, I just want to arrange my study schedule with the diploma that replaced me fill the study on campus

"Zu, don't like it here....?"

Louis asked in a soft voice and a calm tone

"like it, but Zu wants to set a diploma schedule that helps Zu fill the study on campus"

my hand moved to hold her hand and pat her softly

"wait until the situation here stabilizes again, ok...?"

Louis is back doing a light kiss on my temple

"the situation here....?"

"eeemm, the case against Uncle Ale, Zu's abduction, and the problem at Daddy's company"

I don't really understand what's going on here, but I'm sure it's not an ordinary case, until it requires that Louis and those who are far away in Indonesia must return here for a long time

I've been here almost a week

"how's uncle Ale....?"

I just remembered that Uncle Louis is also being treated at this hospital

"uncle Ale is home, and Alhamdulillah, there is no serious problem, after getting out of here, I will introduce Zu to Uncle Ale and the rest of the family"

"is it okay....?"

the worry was once again surrounding my originally calm heart, I knew it would be difficult to accept the new person in our lives, she said, especially with the many differences that are quite a lot between my lifestyle and their lifestyle

this huge difference could be the distance that stretches between me and his family if I am not good at putting myself and getting along with them

"it's okay, take it easy, they'll accept Zu like Mommy, Daddy and the others receive Zu"

"hopefully"

louis's hand, which was in my hand, changed to hold my hand and patted it slowly

maybe he can see and feel the worry that is encircling my mind

"want to hear the story no...?"

"about what....?"

I knew that Louis intended to dispel the anxiety and worry that plagued me by turning my focus to the story he was about to tell

"about how I got to know Islam"

finally without me asking first, Louis would be happy to share the kisa, Alhamdulillah

"can"
