"I love you Afika, today and forever." Adrian said and was able to make Afika shed her tears. "Don't go, don't ever leave me alone. I love you both."
Now Afika immediately walked closer to Adrian, he did not step if Adrian would be aware just because he threatened to go along with Lion, and will never come back again.
"Adrians." Call Afika. Adrian smiles and tries to sit down, but Afika quickly restrains Adrian. "Don't you just realized. Wait, I'm calling the doctor." Afika said she wanted to try stepping but her clothes were pulled by Adrian.
"I don't need a doctor. I just need you dear, and also our Lion son." Adrian said in a weak voice.
Afika immediately sat down beside Adrian's cage and laid Lion beside Adrian. "Look Lion, he's grown up. You're too comfortable with your sleep."
"I'm sorry." Adrian said, he felt very guilty for not being able to accompany Afika guarding Lion, as long as he was unconscious. "I'm sorry for my mistake. And also, sorry that I didn't help you look after Lion." Adrian tried rubbing Afika's cheeks. And Afika who gets a subtle swipe, does not budge. He still received a swipe from Adrian. "Sorry, it's made you wait, sorry, it's made you cry."

By mension...
The first day of the session made Adrian feel so happy. How unhappy, now Afika is gentle and warm to him. Adrian has got an apology from Afika and now Adrian only needs to prove that he really loves Afika.
"Why just shut up, don't you want to help me?" afika asked when she realized that Adrian only continued to pay attention to himself without helping him take care of Lion.
"Sorry." Adrian said then approached towards Lion and Afika. "Let me put on Lion's shirt. Let this be my job." Adrian Pinta makes Afika smile. "Oh yeah, we're better. I mean, you've forgiven me, baby. So, how about tonight, are you gonna sleep in my room, our room I mean."
"Don't expect more." Afika said, while giving a suit to Adrian to wear to Lion. "I'll go downstairs, help Sri prepare dinner. So please take care of Lion."
"All right."
"You see that's a hotshot. Your mommy must be embarrassed, actually she wants to sleep with daddy, just that she's still shy and won't admit it." Adrian said right in front of Lion making Lion laugh. But without realizing it, Adrian's words were heard clearly by Afika.
"Who is ashamed. Don't make it up." Now Afika came out of the room, and made Adrian smile.

"Sister Adrian, why is my sister's face like that?"
"What-like?" ask Adrian.
"Silver as a high school boy, who is in love. Brother's face, beaming look, or maybe Adrian's sister and Afika's brother already..." Baby's speech hangs because Adrian immediately cuts.
"Baby stop! Don't talk about the no."
Afika just smiled in response to the brothers who kept arguing, because Baby who always teased Adrian. Until all was silent when Baby said something that made Adrian speechless.
"Sister, I want Nadi to be my personal assistant." Pinta Babies.
"Sister Adrian, did you hear? Why just shut up. I want Nadi to be my assistant."
"Baby." Adrian Exclamations. Honestly Adrian feels safe if Nadi becomes Baby's assistant, because automatically Nadi will take care of Baby like guarding his own life, it's just that Adrian does not want to make Nadi uncomfortable with the behavior of Baby who is random. The one who changes often knows no situation. Sometimes, being an adult and sometimes being like a child. Sometimes chatty, sometimes fierce, sometimes good, and sometimes even suddenly crying.
"Sister, I want Nadi to be my assistant, period!" He stopped eating and passed from there.
Adrian exhaled, what a request Baby made him dizzy. Adrian is afraid, something will happen to Nadi, if he continues to be near Baby. Not that Adrian doesn't like it, it's just. Baby well Baby, and until anytime, Baby was just a baby boy in Adrian's eyes.
"Later I'll talk to Nadi." Afika.
"Thank you dear." Adrian said while holding Afika's hand.
