Married a Friend's Husband Because He Was Fuck
36: Being a Standby Parent

Devano's injuries will mark the peak of pain today. So, the boy could be predicted to be in pain despite Devano's painful expression, until it resembles a seizure because just a deliberate voice the boy was resistant.

Devano continued to try hard because the boy who grew up before his time was aware, his wounds and pain groans would severely injure the mother. Just look, his mama's eyes were already very reckless, other than those two eyes that kept watching him barely blinking.

“I'm hungry. I want pizza,” said Devano.

Restu immediately made the boy calm.

“What pizza? Let Mamah find. Around here there must be,” Arnita.

“Request to mr Lukman only. Note, he must know!” sergeant Restu looked at Arnita.

Arnita hurriedly nodded then immediately grabbed her bag from the next nightstand. He took out an agenda book and a pen from there, then recorded every order of the son.

“You all chiken wings? You usually like it. This is a look at the menu on their web, usually a lot of options. You choose, yes.” Arnita hastily pulled out her phone from the bag, then deliberately stooped a bit as she gave it to Restu. “Papah, sorry. This is Vano's boss, not Papah. Please help choose, I want to go to the bathroom first.”

Restu immediately looked at Arnita while holding an amused smile which he also shook his head. His gaze changed with warning.

“Indeed, Papah's boss Mamah?” asked Devano who had immediately become a good observer.

“Yes, if in the office. But beyond that it must be Mamah who will remain the boss. Just look, Mamah left while laughing at Papah!” said Restu. Up ahead, Arnita who was about to enter the bathroom while trying to pigtail her hair, immediately held back a laugh. Arnita's body became shaken slowly due to the retained laughter.

After pecking her hair high, Arnita deliberately washed her face, washing it using facial soap that also always adorned her bag. In addition to both eyes already felt very hot due to his busy crying state of Devano which until convulsions, his face also feels stiff because of tears.

Looking at Arnita's face that was no longer polished makeup, the woman's circumference looked very black. Affirming how much the woman was sleep deprived even rested. Arnita's two sad eyes that now look very reckless look very tired. Now the woman is just polishing her lips with red lipstick while her face is sort of just polished moisturizer. Restu who was secretly observing became unbearable.

Restu gave an agenda book containing records of food to be ordered, Arnita's mobile phone, and also all the red sheet cash that adorned his wallet.

“Indeed order a lot, yes?” Arnita who was initially shocked to see the amount of money that Restu gave a kick reflex when his gaze was shifted to a row of orders in his agenda book.

“I haven't had time to eat. Earlier, just wanted to drink a smoothie, you've been calling angry like a troublemaker. How do I not panic,” said Restu who also said, he had ordered the secretary to keep his smoothie in the frozen refrigerator.

Arnita gives a sorry face then apologizes. “This, mr Lukman has been approved yet? If you don't want me to spend it all.”

Restu who was still staring at Arnita gradually nodded. “Already.”

Being a standby parent, that's what Restu and Arnita are doing. Every now and then, Devano whines at Restu, who matches a laptop, working next to him.

Arnita is sure, if Devano's hands were not bandaged, the boy would have been carried to and fro by Restu. But just now, the man asked for his help to do so.

Restu clenched his body, especially Devano's back very carefully. With Arnita holding Devano's infusion bottle, as much as possible they limit Devano's hand movements. In front of the glass window of the Devano wardrobe whose curtains Arnita accidentally opened, they enjoyed the night atmosphere from there.

Arnita did it immediately.

“Pah, I want to go to the forest but there is a snow.”

The whimper from Devano just made Arnita's heart palpable. Slowly but surely, the presence of Restu has made Devano a boy in general. The boy who wants to whine is even dependent on his parents. The reality that previously was very rare Devano did. Because other than asking for the whereabouts of his papa, Devano would never demand anything else to Arnita.

“Of course. If you've recovered, we'll go to the forest with the snow.” Restu immediately responded.

“But there is a lion what a wolf, not, Pah?”

“What's really why? You scared?”

“Papah scared ?”

“Now!”

“Papah not afraid of being bitten?”

Conscious next to him, Arnita was busy holding a smile over Restu's chat with Devano, Restu glanced at Arnita while saying, “Rather than to the wolves and lions, Papah was much more afraid to Mamah!”

That instant also Arnita instantly froze in confusion. Making her look that remains beautiful even without a touch of makeup means, being pi-lon.

“Hah .. Why, Pah? What, Mom why? You have fangs, do you have horns?” Devano was really curious. For the first time, he felt helpless because he did not know the reason why the mama must be feared and to make his papa afraid. And so far, Devano believes his mom is fine.

Restu who became restrained with laughter because he felt successful had made the son believe, suddenly busy grimacing because one hand Arnita who was not holding an infusion bottle, instead pinching her stomach full of annoyance.

Without the three of them knowing, Mario who stepped carefully while carrying a large Pororo doll, after a large fruit parcel also until Mario put on the table, watching their togetherness. However, Mario did not see Restu's face.

Mario sees only part of Arnita and Devano's face. Both of them Arnita looks very happy. Even one of Arnita's hands that did not lift the infusion bottle, became coiled around Restu's waist. Arnita leaned her head on Restu's shoulder which until this moment Mario had not seen his face.

“Pah, ... later if I'm cured, we stay together, right? I want to show Papah off to the cement. To Aunty Mia who always said I don't have Papah. Then, Papah will also stay with me equally mama, right? We slept together, yeah, Pah!” Devano was so excited that he made a meaningful move and the boy ended up whining in pain.

In that instant Mario also felt the pain of a bloodless wound. The bloodless wounds that Mario has confirmed are more painful than Devano's. In the middle of his eyes that became wet, Mario chose to leave after he also placed the Pororo doll he brought, at the end of the bed. Mario will not give up. The man only gives Arnita and Devano time to realize how sincere he has been.

The return of Arnita and Restu, after Devano finally slept in the arms of Restu. Through the completely shady gazes of the eyes, both of them were grateful.

“Luckily, we've met. If not, I do not know what will happen,” said Arnita. He looked sad, but Restu did not answer. But shortly afterwards, the man's full lips stuck to his forehead.

“I've sent thousands in-box to your fb. If you open, you would know and we could be together a long time ago.”

“Fear, Mas. So horrified. The wall and in-box fb I was full of hu-jatan,” replied Arnita softly then looked up, looking at the face especially the two eyes Restu still on it because the man's lips were back on his forehead. But just now, amidst their shady gazes that were still clashing, Restu's filled lips stuck to his lips and Arnita immediately retorted.
