The Seventh Secretary (Secretary to Seven)
Euphonical

"Mommy.." - Weak Deri. His voice is a bit hoarse.

"Yes, my honey sweety baby boy" said Herni as he broke into tears of surprise if his only child was conscious. He then approached Deri's gurney.

"mamii.." she said again.

"I'm here, baby boy" replied Herni clasped Deri's hand and kissed him sobbing.

The atmosphere was supposed to be haru, but David's tread withstood his bursts of laughter.

"Stop calling Deri that cake, mam" she argued in a weak voice. Maybe the medicinal effect is still there.

"Okay, my dear Dedey. What do you want my mom to buy, hm?" continued Herni pampered him.

"svl.. Dedey.." spewed David restrained which immediately elbowed Stella.

"Mamii.." Now his voice sounded like whining.

"Yes, my love my love"

"Stop calling me like that, will you? I'm not a boy any more, remember?" (stop calling me that, I'm not a kid anymore, remember?) his sighing made Stella and David fold their mouths while looking down to hold back the laughter.

"Okay, my dedey sweety" said Herni deliberately teasing his only son.

"Where's David, mi?" she asked her mother because her eyes were covered in bandages.

"Gue here, man" answered David approaching and clasping Deri's hand in place of Herni who had previously risen to give him space to speak.

"Are you guys okay?" deri sounded worried.

"We are good. Thanks to elo, man. Thank you for letting us know, and sorry because that's what happened" David said sincerely.

"Ga pa pa, bro. Thank you, Elo, for accepting me again. I hope you're the same sorry you are too. I'm wrong with you guys a lot"

"We're sorry about elo. Just relax"

"Mi, Dedy's a mommy's son. Why do people make nemenin the same as take care of Dedey anyway?" deri protested with a still weak but strong voice to refute her mother.

"Yes they must be responsible dong has made you kek gini" Herni sergeant raised.

"It's not their fault, mi. Dedey gamau tau. If not the same mommy take care of Dedey, Dedey mo kek gini aja" he said.

"Sob, don't pa pa we'll be tem-"

"No, not pa pa. I even feel more guilty if you are still bothering you. Think of this as my guilt. And I'm sincere"

"Yes already. Thank's yes man. Lo diligently tidakin me yes. We pull first" said David at last while sticking his fist on the back of Deri's hand.

"OK"

Stella turned forward wanting to say a word of thanks but asked permission first to David the husband through the gaze of the eyes answered nod by David allowing sign.

"ekhem" Stella rolled her throat first before speaking.

"Dey.." exclaimed which made David frown.

"Sorry mood, I mean.. Deri, thank you for your sacrifice. May you recover quickly and get a reward of good worth" he said sincerely.

Deri didn't say. Makes everyone wonder what Deri is feeling and thinking right now.

Does he hold a grudge for Stella?

Stella turned to David who was on her right side as if asking what happened. But David just put his shoulder around not knowing what happened to him.

Stella tried to call him back, maybe Deri fell asleep.

"Dey.." exclaimed Stella who again made David's forehead wrinkled while looking at her. Stella closed her mouth with one hand feeling back wrongly calling.

"I just realized that your voice is sweet, Stella" said Deri arrived
