"Daddy is not biting you...?" (Daddy didn't bite you....?)
"nope"
I steadily shook my head

After Elio saw me shake my head indicating that Louis didn't mean to hurt me
and he understood that if Louis didn't really bite me, we were just kidding
I could see the look on his face that was beginning to come back softly, but there was no sign that Elio was going to cry
"Mommy"
there was a long pause before Elio resumed his sentence in a soft voice
"Daddy"
he whispered softly with eyes that were peering coyly at Louis
either Elio was afraid because he had brushed Louis' hand off earlier or maybe Elio was feeling guilty right now
"why....?"
I tried to pry a little bit about what feelings were going through his mind
"Daddy"
no words came out of her tiny lips except for "Daddy"
from his timid attitude, I seemed to be able to understand that Elio was currently in a state of confusion and fear
afraid that his Daddy will no longer be friends with him
afraid his Daddy would scold him if he tried to get close
on the other hand, he is eager to return to play with Louis
"want to say sorry, to Daddy...?" (want to say sorry to Daddy.....?)
a slight nod of embarrassment felt on my chest, as Elio moved his head slowly
"Can we talk boy....?" (can we talk son...?)
Louis approached after putting his smartphone back on the table
Elio raised his head to look at me, as if he was asking for my approval and support
maybe he needs encouragement
I swear it was like I was going to war against the enemy, it's funny this kid
"gos"
I nodded with certainty, hoping to cultivate courage within him
although I am not his birth mother, but as long as this child is in my care and Louis we will do our best to maintain and shape his character and personality
he is a man, who will become a man, we want to teach and foster a sense of responsibility early on, so that he will become a responsible man
and Alhamdulillaah, I am so grateful that Louis was able to be a good partner for me, perhaps from the beginning Louis always taught Elio responsibility
but there is one role that Louis cannot give to Elio, the affection and tenderness of a mother, a role that is very important to complete his firm attitude, so that he can later put his role well
one thing that made me wonder how Louis had educated Elio before
will he let Elio cry until he calms down by himself like this, then hold and give him understanding after Elio calms down...?
I look on my heart at Elio's fate if it really happened, I just hope that this is the first time Elio Tantrum happened in front of Louis
I'm sure Louis has his own thoughts and ways of dealing with Elio, just like I do
I hope my role in their lives can complete the emptiness that has been left gaping without anyone filling
hope we can give each other the full and proper needs of Elio, the tenderness of the role of a mother and the firmness and courage of the role of a father
although I understand very well that Elio has got it all from both his parents
louis gently helps Elio to get off the bed
until they reached the side chair a little far from where I was lying, although near them there was a barrier that made us feel separated, but I could still see them clearly, he said, even I can still hear their words very clearly
I know Louis took Elio some distance away and was a little out of my sight to keep the privacy between them so that they would be more free to talk
with that also Louis tried to maintain Elio's pride, so that the toddler did not feel embarrassed when he had to be advised in front of others
kids have shame too!
I smiled proudly at that, knowing the fact that this man would educate my heroes to be responsible and responsible, the heroes who will apply and carry Islam in themselves
although I could hear their words very clearly, I could not understand them
they use Italian
this is so unfair!, even though I wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation a little
Louis is really!
there they were having a serious conversation, I could see clearly that if Elio was currently trying hard to hold back his tears, he nodded twice, perhaps as a sign that he understood Louis's intentions
elio got down from the chair and approached Louis, who was sitting before him, hesitatingly reaching Louis' hand
"Sorry Daddy, I was wrong, I love you" (sorry Daddy, I was wrong, I love you)
Louis gently lifted Elio over his lap and hugged him
his hands constantly gave a gentle sweep to Elio's small back, while the adorable toddler laid his head over Louis' shoulders
"I love you more baby, I love you more" (i love you more baby, I love you more)
I smiled when I saw them revealing love to each other, after they made up
Louis stood with Elio still in his arms, his feet stepping closer towards me who was smiling wide to greet them
"Mommy"
Elio turned and stretched out his hand asking me to embrace him, I quickly greeted him, not yet had Elio moved on my lap, the door of the room was knocked from the outside
"Eexcuse me, time for injection" (excuse me time to inject the drug)
"Come in"
a Nurse came in after being let out by Louis
Louis was about to proceed to move Elio over my lap, but Elio tightly hugged his neck and shook his head
"no Daddy, with Daddy" (not Daddy, with Daddy only)
"are you afraid....?" (you're scared)
"no"
Elio shook his head again, although he said he was not afraid, but his tiny head was even deeper hiding in the recesses of Louis' neck
"ooowww ok, it's ok, you can stay with Mommy" (oooww ok, it's okay, you can be here with Mommy)
Louis still insisted on taking Elio down from his carrier while Elio stubbornly tightened his arms
"no, Daddy took care of Mommy" (no, my Daddy took care of Mommy)
"you say, you want to be with Mommy before"(so you said, you want to be with Mommy)
o God, it seems Louis' jail soul is back again, and this time the victim is poor Elio
"no, no, no Daddy not now" (no, no, no Daddy not now)
Elio still insisted on remaining in Louis's arms, even as his legs were perfectly circular in Louis's chest
"why...?" (why..?)
astagfirullah, at this time I really want to laugh loosely, but I try to hold him back, while Nurse's sister who saw their behavior has laughed softly
"nooooo Daddy move, Daddy move" (no Daddy moves, Daddy moves)
Elio increasingly aggressively asks Louis to stay away from the bed when Louis deliberately flipped his body until Elio can see when Nurse's brother raised the high syringe that is held yes to make sure if in there are no wind bubbles in there
"ok, ok, ok we move" (ok, ok, ok we move)
Louis said that with lips that carved a big smile, satisfied that he had managed to try Elio
oh, God, Rob, that is
