When Your Uncle Becomes the Substitute Bride
Chapter 21. Soft Wipe

As Dera said this morning, this afternoon she went to the hospital to visit Pandu's father. After getting an address from Daren, Dera immediately asked the driver to drive her.

Since it might be a time of rest, the streets were not very crowded. Make it easy for the car to move to get to the destination immediately.

As he was about to get out of the car, Dera sighed first. Nervous, because it will be reunited with the former prospective in-laws who are now sisters-in-law. Dera tightened his grip on the fruit pastel, as he stepped out of the hospital courtyard.

After saying ‘thank you’ at the receptionist, Dera went to look for the patient room. Not until five minutes, he finally found the room where Pandu's father was. And more regrettably, it turns out there is Jilia who is also visiting.

“Excuse me,” said Dera politely.

“Eh, there's Dera. Come on in, darling,” pinta Fina. Dera nodded and immediately entered.

The cynical look from Jilia was perfectly drawn. Dera was silent, she was indeed reluctant to reply to the woman. Rather than being tired for insignificant things, it was better for Dera to help Fina peel the fruit.

“How is Dad Pandu, Bun?” ask Dera. Honestly, he was nervous to be in a position like this.

“It's been better, dear. Tomorrow Pandu's father can go home,” said Fina.

“Oh, yes? Goodness.”

“You should not hesitate to call Mother with the designation ‘kakak’. And also, call Dad Pandu with the name ‘abang’ as Daren does,” said Fina.

Dera nodded small. “Good, Brother.”

Then the two chat continued to light things, until Dera said goodbye to go home because it had been almost three hours there. When Dera left, Jilia was the same. Both are happy to go home.

“What is the state of your household?” Jilia's words asked. Dera frowned, confused.

“Sorry. Why ask about privacy?” ask Dera back.

“Ck. Right I said, right? You and Daren definitely do not love each other, so you do not want to be honest about your household.”

“Even if we don't love each other, it's none of your business! So, you better take care of your business,” furious Dera. He passed from before Jilia.

Already an ex, but Jilia pretentiously wants to take care of her ex-husband's life. Dera was astonished to see the woman, it seemed that Jilia's embarrassed veins had indeed broken up. He's the one who cheated, he's the one who approached Daren again. It was like there was nothing painful he did.

Mood Dera changes due to her meeting and is involved in talking with Jilia, the girl intends to stop by for a while at the supermarket. He needed a lot of snacks to restore his mood.

“Stop at the supermarket, yes, sir,” pinta Dera who instantly got the nod from Daren's personal driver.

Gegas Dera went into the supermarket, he went straight to the snack place. Taking what he wanted, Dera bought a lot of food. His habit when the moon is coming or the mood is destroyed because of something.

At 00:00 pm Daren just arrived home, he went straight to the room to clean himself up. When he opened the door, how surprised Daren was when he saw the straw wrappers scattered on the floor. In fact, he found Dera falling asleep on the carpet.

The man just shook his head, then put the briefcase on the mattress. Daren rolled up his sleeves to the elbows, took all the junk packs and threw them into the trash. He also swept the floor where there were many food crumbs of Dera.

Now Daren turns to his wife, he bopong ideal body to be transferred to the mattress. However, it has not been lowered, Dera even woke up.

“You fell asleep on the carpet, I intend to move you,” cut Daren.

“Emm, thanks. Get off me.”

Daren took down Dera. The girl seemed to rub her eyes slowly, then stared at the clean floor of the room.

“Sorry to have taken om. Next time Dera will clean it before going to bed,” said Dera. He feels bad about Daren.

“Not a problem.”

The situation is back in silence. Daren and Dera were still in their positions, they looked at each other and threw their faces in the opposite direction. Daren cleared his throat, then took a break to clean up.

“Jeez, I could have forgotten to finish off the paw,” grumbled Dera while hitting her own head.

“If Om sleepy, just sleep. I dare, really, watch TV alone,” said Dera.

“Ngak. I'm not sleepy yet,” replied Daren.

They are now on the sofa room, watching shows on TV together. Initially news, but Dera instantly swapped it for a romantic soap opera.

The awkwardness that occurred between them, made Dera continuously sigh. He who likes to talk, now silenced because faced with the figure of Daren.

“You've eaten?” ask Daren.

“Om.”

“Oh.”

“Iya.”

Back silence. Dera continued to change her sitting position because she felt uncomfortable. The next second, he was shocked when Daren dropped his head on the lap of the girl.

“Allowed, I slept on your lap?”

“Hmm, yes, can.”

Daren's eyes began to shut, he felt comfortable being near Dera. Moreover, when his wife's fingers slicked into the hair and gave a swab there.

Can time stop?
