Half-eleven nights, Baskara's nursery went back into silence. The owner had fallen asleep after swallowing the medicine that the doctor prescribed, while four friends who had enlivened the atmosphere had also gone home since before eight o'clock.

Silence mastered, let Sera and Jeffrey who sat quietly on the sofa to be mutually disdainful in terms of slowly pulling and exhaling.

Actually, their relationship cannot be said to be good. Only a deal was eventually made to keep their small family intact, and Baskara lost neither a father nor a mother.

The core of the deal is not far from Jeffrey who has to cut all his efforts to be close to Fabian and his mother, while Sera has also agreed not to disturb their lives while Jeffrey keeps his promise.

The interaction they showed in front of Baskara was indeed fake, but for God's sake, the affection they were trying to pour out to the child was pure, pure, coming from the bottom of the heart is also a conscience as a parent who never dies.

Sera looked at Baskara's bed, trying to determine whether the child had fallen asleep or had little consciousness left. Judging by the naked eye, the boy was already sleeping. His breathing is also regular. However, Sera was still not sure to invite Jeffrey to speak in this room. Because Baskara could wake up in the middle of their chat, and everything will fall apart again.

"Jeff," call Sera in the end. She turned to her husband, looking at the twin beads that were no longer the same.

Jeffrey did not reply, only looking back at Sera as a sign that he was listening.

"Can we talk for a second?" ask Sera. His voice sank so slowly, timidly interrupting his son's sleep. "Outside." Its effects.

"What about?" Jeffrey asked back.

"The kid." Flat Sera.

To be honest, Jeffrey wanted to refuse. Because he was convinced, their discussion would not have ended well if the topic was Fabian. But he still nodded his head. His body was brought up from the sofa and he immediately walked out of Baskara's nursery.

Sera followed shortly after, then they walked hand in hand down the deserted hospital corridor with some lights appearing to go out.

The silent atmosphere that was around was still no more horror than Jeffrey's current mood, kala Sera finally decided to stop in one of the waiting chairs and sit there without a word to invite herself to sit together.

Jeffrey still took a seat next to Sera, leaving a seat distance that seemed to emphasize that their relationship was not okay.

One minute early, Sera still did not open the sound. His gaze was even fixed straight on the pale white hospital wall, as pale as his feelings of dying and dying since being left behind by Jeffrey many years ago.

While Jeffrey also did not have enough initiative to open the voice. He felt so wrong. Feeling that whatever will come out of his mouth, will only make the atmosphere warm up again.

Entering the second minute, all that is heard is a heavy breath that airs several times. I don't know who it belongs to. Either Sera was collecting the best diction to start the conversation, or Jeffrey was frustrated waiting for Sera to speak. Or perhaps, the property of the two of them overlapping each other was not desirable.

At the last second towards the third minute, then Sera finally spoke. With a very slow voice, almost just like the whirlwind just passing by.

"I don't like that kid getting too close to Baskara" she said.

At least, it took a few seconds for Jeffrey to digest Sera's words.

Over the past years, Jeffrey barely recognized Sera as the woman he loved, though his body still reminds him that he still loves her as much as he did. Sera's ambition to get rid of Raya and Fabian has changed things, and Jeffrey no longer knows what way he can use to restore his former Sera.

"Why?" tanyakanya. There was a feeling that he was trying to press hard so as not to stick out at that moment. A feeling of unwillingness when Sera is also not even willing to give an opportunity for Fabian to be around Baskara, which incidentally is his own brother.

Sera took a slow breath, then turned to Jeffrey who still did not let go of the sight of the goods for a second. "Near Baskara means to be close to you. I don't want him around us, according to the deal we made the other day."

"You ... didn't try to use her friendship with Baskara to stay close to the boy, did you?" sera search.

If it can be calculated, maybe the fatigue of Jeffrey facing the alert attitude Sera has reached the most level. Where he no longer had an argument against every statement that came out of the lips of the woman.

Basically Jeffrey was indeed weak, and he had mistakenly met Sera whose domineering aura was too strong. When in love first, he may be too blind that his confidence to be able to conquer Sera is growing rapidly with shamelessness. Now, he himself is a fool. He himself is dizzy, even just to fight for the rights of his own flesh and blood.

"As long as Baskara's friends came, did you see me trying to get closer to Fabian?" ask Jeffrey. He knew Sera did not like the name of the child to be called, but as much as Sera did not like it, he would still call it to make the woman accustomed. "No, right? You just see I'm trying to interact with them naturally, as the father of a friend they're looking at." Reciprocity.

"Of course, I don't like." Sera with a hardness of heart that somehow melted her.

"Please, come on, Sera." Jeffrey was getting frustrated. "You can keep Fabian away from me, his real father. But you can't force him to be anywhere near Baskara. They're siblings, Sera. There's my blood running through their bodies, so it's only natural that they have a strong inner bond with each other."

"Jeff," Sera emphasized her voice. "They're not brothers."

"They are, Sera. Want you to say not as many as a million times, they are still brothers. Nothing's gonna change that,"

"Jeff!" sera's voice was rising. He stared at Jeffrey sharply, his breathing began to disorganize along with the emotions that rose drastically.

"Enough." Tell Jeffrey in a soft voice. "Please don't talk about this anymore. It is enough that you do not allow them to know each other the fact that they are brothers. You don't have to go that far to ban them from making friends, either" Jeffrey's decision is final. He didn't want to hear any refutation. Another debate was not going to happen tonight, so he immediately got up from the chair. He swung his steps wide, leaving Sera alone with both hands clenched tightly on his lap.

Sera's breath is hunting. His sharp gaze seemed to skin Jeffrey who was getting away from his distance of sight. His emotions were overflowing like boiling water in a pot, some had spilled, some were churning inside the container making it slowly burn away.

Meanwhile, just behind the wall that had been the center of Sera's attention for a few minutes, stood Jasmine's figure with a smile that spread to the ears. The girl stared contentedly at the phone in hand, which had managed to record a conversation between Jeffrey and Sera that was quite shocking.

Fabian and Baskara are brothers of one father, and they don't know each other? It was breaking news that was guaranteed to electrify the entire Neosantara universe, more than any other news ever.

Who would have thought, Jasmine's intention to sneak into the hospital to peek at the state of Baskara actually brought him a jackpot as good as this?

"See, Jasmine? Goddess Fortuna is always on your side." He said to himself.

Then, Jasmine left from there with a flowery heart, as well as an increasingly bright smile as her head began to be filled with devious plans in an attempt to benefit herself.
