Born Again in a New Body
Just Fatigue
" Ra.... "
Dira understood his papa wanted to approach him. So he patted Chupa on the head to let her get out of bed first and let her papa get close. But Chupa doesn't care about Dira. He still coolly rubbed his head in Dira's hands.
" Pa. huuuhhh it's okay. "
Dira tried hard when he had to talk to Angga. The dog hesitated to approach. But he had to vent because his son had already called himself.
" You okay, baby? why can you be like this? If Raka wasn't with papa, papa wouldn't know you were like this. "
" Hmm I'm just tired. You guys are too worried. "
Everyone felt relieved after Dira could speak normally again. They did not know that Dira was currently forcing herself again to communicate with them. He should have rested first. But he could not let the commotion continue.
" Ra. This, how come there's this beast here? "
" You guys get out first. I'm okay. I just need to rest. Let's let papa be here. "
Tolvar and his men all left except Albert, Yasmin, and Raka. They still remained in the room to ensure the state of Dira.
" He's a Chupa pa.. He's my pet. I know him from the man who brought me into this house. The one who helped me all this time. I knew Chupa then. He's not fierce he's a sweet animal. Papa take it easy. He won't hurt anyone unless he's hurt first."
Yasmin felt insinuated by Dira's words. He desperately wanted to talk to Dira and apologize to her. But it was as if Dira did not see herself in the room.
" Papa is worried about your situation. What are you doing until you get tired like this? "
" I just lack sleep pa.. After carrying out the mission, I could not rest well. And this time the limit of my body is real. So I was limp. "
Angga just believe what Dira says. But Raka is not. He knew that Dira was hiding something from him, because he also saw Yasmin and Abert in this place. Which means Dira was exhausted because of them.
Yasmin heard all of Raka's thoughts and felt increasingly guilty already making trouble earlier. So she cried again.
" Hiiikk hiikk.. "
" Hey... Yas... Why are you crying? "
Albert and the others, who did not know what Yasmin had done, were shocked to hear Yasmin crying. After being persuaded for a while, Yasmin did not stop crying. And even louder the sound of his crying.
Albert remembered that Yasmin was said to have sprained her leg by Dira. So she thought Yasmin was crying because of the pain in her leg. She doesn't know that Yasmin is afraid that Dira doesn't care about her anymore.
Dira tried to ignore Yasmin while crying like that. He wanted to let first until later Dira's anger could subside. But the longer Dira kept quiet, the louder Yasmin cried. So Dira can only sigh resignedly because of this.
" Yes. You should know that I dislike being denied the most. Because of that, you will get your punishment later. I don't care if you'll be defended by anyone later. But all I know is that you broke my warning. And I told you before that there would be a penalty. So prepare yourself"
Yasmin ended up being silent she preferred to be in the law rather than ignored by Dira. But right now he wanted to hug Dira. He felt jealous because he saw that Chupa could be spoiled on Dira from earlier.
" I want a hug.. "
Albert and the others could only gape in disbelief that Yasmin would say that when she was angered by Dira.
