"I'm sorry Brother can't take you to the airport, yes!", Baz stroked his sister's head alternately on his beloved nephew.
"It's okay, Brother! I see!", Bella smiled as she touched Baz's hand in her head.
This morning Baz had an important meeting at the company. His presence cannot be represented at all. Therefore, with a heavy heart he can only release the departure of his sister and nephew to reach their home page only.
"Would it be true that I will meet my papa, Uncle?", asked Bervan to Baz who was now crouching before him.
"Yes!", Baz nodded and smiled.
"But why did the face of Uncle's nephew become moody like this? You should be happy to meet your papa, right!", he rubbed the head of the downcast little boy.
"I'm afraid it won't be special again!", the six-year-old pursed his lips while kicking in the air. The little boy still did not raise his head.
"Why is that, dear?", Bella became curious and ended up crouching next to her sister.
"Usually Mama always said that I was special because I only had Mama!", the innocent face of the little boy rose and looked at the two people in front of him with a few blinks.
"You have Uncle!", and Baz and Bella waited patiently for the little boy's explanation. The two looked at each other, they both did not know what Bervan meant at all.
"Yes, I know! But Uncle wasn't my Papa!", Bervan raised both eyebrows while conveying it straightforwardly like a critical child figure.
"Yes, okay! Then?", Baz and Bella chuckle together. They were still waiting for the little guy's words.
"Yes, then suddenly I was told that I have Papa now! Means I'm no longer as special as I used to be!", the little boy scowled and returned to his original position. He lowered his head and again kicked the air with his feet.
Peterson's sister looked at each other with a smile. Then Bella gave a small nod gesturing if this time let her serve the babble of her little child.
"Oh, so it is! Here's Mama's smart son!", the woman guides her son into her arms.
"If Mama had said you were special. So now Mama says you're perfect. Bervan is now a perfect figure because it already has Mama, then Bervan also has a Papa too! So Mama calls Bervan now is perfect. Ok!", several times Bella kissed her son's chewy cheeks with anxiety and affection.
"Is perfect better than special?", it turns out that his son does not want to take Bella's explanation for granted. And that made him and his brother had to chuckle back together.
"Both are good, baby! They're just a little different. Which is obvious because now Bervan has become perfect, so surely Bervan is better than ever!", patiently Bella explained to the little boy who was looking up like he was thinking hard.
"All right, then! The happy bervan is perfect now! Because now Bervan already has Mama and Papa like other Bervan friends at school", finally a cheerful smile curled on the lips of the little boy.
"Remember! You also have Uncle!", Baz stretched out his arms waiting for his nephew to enter his arms.
"Calm down, Uncle! I will not forget Uncle even though I already have Papa!", Bervan loosened his uncle's embrace to speak.
"Oh, clever boy!", hugging the boy again, Baz could not bear to mess up his nephew's hair with his anxiety.
"Stop, Uncle! My hair is a mess, right! I still have to look good when I see Papa! I don't want Papa to judge if I'm ugly!", quickly Bervan removed his uncle's hand while protesting. He has to keep his appearance until he meets his father.
"Oh, jeez! Who taught your son to be this talkative, Bella?!", Baz stood up while holding the base of his eyebrows pretending to be dizzy. It felt like he wanted to mess up the boy's hair again so anxious.
"Yes, that's it! We'll take care of it, brother! I'll tell Brother right away when I get there!", Bella stood up. But when they saw the watch, it was time for them to leave. If they talk any longer, they might be late.
"Come, Bervan!", after hugging his brother and saying goodbye, he invited his son to get into the car that would take them to the airport.
"So I'll call a friend. He'll pick you up there. He was also a close friend of Victor. You might be able to ask her a lot about Victor's current situation", Baz spoke to her sister who had just opened her car window.
"He's a man! Not everything else you've been jealous of!", the man pinched his sister's nose while smiling seductively.
"Sister!", exclaimed Bella with her red face. Oh, how shameful she was caught this way by her own brother!
"Will Mama and Uncle still talk?! He said we were too late!", the voice of the protesting child from inside the car ended the conversation.
And before long the car was boarded by Bella was out of the yard and disappeared from Baz's eyes. The man widened his smile, although there was also regret in his heart. Why hasn't he met that family in the past?! It certainly will not be this complicated situation experienced by everyone.
Huh! Again he blamed himself! It was better to just go to work! After this all he had to focus on was how he hit back at the person who had overturned the facts all along, thus making his heart blind and committing the wrong revenge. Right now the hope is, may his sister have a happy family. For himself, he will just think about it.

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
The ringing sound of a cell phone kept singing merrily at someone's flat object. He rang and continued to vibrate until the phone spun in place on the nightstand. The phone danced itself and was not cared for by the owner.
Ben, the man blinked his eyes several times as his sense of hearing began to be disturbed by the sounds that were not far from his ears. His eyes were still reluctant to open, it felt like he had just closed his eyes. There is a sense of annoyance because there is something that interferes with his pleasure.
He groaned in annoyance as he extended his hand towards the source of the voice. Ben fumbled until he finally stopped the dance round of his phone. He didn't care who called him at the moment, he didn't see it at all. Only his finger moved to shift the answer button.
"Hem?", the man was still very lazy even to make a sound. Ben groaned again to greet the incoming call. His groans sounded hoarse and unclear, typical of people who had just woken up.
"Ben! Ben's! Ben's! Hola! Hello!", the voice across there continues to demand because the one on the phone is still silent.
"God! Yes, it's me! What's the matter?", Ben sighed lazily while looking at what was the name of the person who called him this time. He asked while turning his body to his back.
"Ben, are you still sleeping? Looks like I just found out that the White Tiger Guild Leader is a slacker! I thought it might be a little afternoon, didn't it?!", Baz sneaked the man off his phone. There was a crunchy nagging sound from across the channel.
"So that's all you're calling me for?! All right, I close first!", said Ben indifferently. Not so long ago, he had no time just to serve a load of nonsense. It was better for him to continue sleeping than for his ears to be disturbed.
"Wait, wait! I'll get to the point! I just wanted to let you know that my sister and nephew are on their way there. They'll be there maybe about two or three hours from now. You please pick up my sister at the airport, yes!", Pinta Baz frankly. But he still pleaded politely. Both know their own nature. And for Ben, he knows that guy's not easy. Although actually according to Baz's own assessment that Ben is a good person.
"Hem! Alright!", the man who was still on top of the bed still closed his eyes while answering the origin of his comrade's request.
"Remember! In about two hours my brother will be here! Then I close first!", Baz repeated his words again because he felt unsure of the response Ben gave him. That person's voice was clearly like it had not been fully conscious from his sleep.
"Yes, yes, two more hours, right!", slowly the eyelashes moved and opened.
"What?!", suddenly the eyelashes rose upwards and completely opened wide together with Ben's screaming voice.
His consciousness was forced when he accidentally looked at the small clock on his nightstand which showed that the time he had was not much. Not to mention he took a shower, ate, and not yet on his way to the airport. The time Baz gave was too tight with the arrival of his colleague's sister. While yelling annoyed he patted his bed loudly as an impingement.
"Why haven't you called me since, Baz?! What time is it! My head feels like it's about to break! You should have told me since your sister left!", while collecting her life still flying on the ceiling of her room, Ben scowled her dizzy head. Ben also vented his frustration at his partner.
"Where do I know if you're still sleeping at this hour?! I had an important meeting so I forgot to tell you!", Baz refuted for the reason he had. Is this his fault?! It's wrong for that guy to wake up this afternoon!
"Huh, stop! Then I'll get ready first! Don't forget to send your sister's phone number so I can easily reach her!", after saying a few more words they finally disconnected the phone.
Ben clucked in annoyance as he threw his phone just like that into the still-cluttered bed. Then he went to the bathroom with his footsteps. Just this time in his life he felt very lazy. And this all happened because of the torture that happened to him last night. If there was another time, he would not hold himself back against that woman anymore. The pain reaches all over the body. It felt like he had just been at war for three days and three nights.
