CHAPTER 41

After accepting Joy's decision to join her aunt abroad, it's time to count before the boy actually leaves Drake's house.

KRAUK

KRAUK

That afternoon, Drake was sitting alone in the living room. His right hand seemed engrossed in playing his phone with his left hand busy picking up the cookies from the jar bowl.

With one leg up on the sofa, he leaned his back violently. Several times he frowned at the thought of something.

Just at that moment, Joy comes along with Terra and Luna. Since he was leaving tomorrow, he visited Luna's house and played with them since morning.

Joy says she wants to have lunch together at Drake's house, so the boy invites Luna and Terra to take turns to come visit.

With both hands carrying baskets containing chives, ginger and peeled garlic, Joy ran around a little while entering the house. Incidentally, he sees Drake being engrossed himself with his cell phone.

"We're the ones who.." said Joy.

Silent.

Apparently, Drake was serious about the message Elouise sent about dinner or a blind date he had promised his mother when he met at the mall, so he did not hear them coming.

Feeling neglected, Joy walked on tiptoes and thought of a fad.

He grabbed a jar of dried sus and replaced it with a bowl of garlic from the basket he was carrying. While looking at Terra and Luna, Joy smiled mischievously.

Gaining a mischievous smile from Joy, Luna and Terra immediately moved their hands in a cross shape. Which means, they expressed disagreement with Joy's fad.

Those who hid the truth about Drake from each other became very nervous.

"Hey, no! Don't mess with her, you can make trouble later.."

Terra screams in the heart.

Different from Luna, he made up about the rejection of love that he did a few days ago.

"Oh, no. Nay! Do I really have to stay here and see him again? How'this? Yesterday I rejected his feelings. Will he take revenge and throw me out after seeing me come?"

And....

Drake who had just replied to Elouise's message snorted in annoyance.

"Haiss!! Do I really have to do that for someone else?!"

Drake was obviously upset. He cussed at his phone and just threw it on the floor.

CRACKS

Then, with the rest of his frustration, he again grabbed the food on the left side of his body with his left hand.

SRETT

Unaware of what he was taking, Drake put it in his mouth and chewed it away followed by anxious expressions from Terra and Luna.

But not five seconds of chewing,,,,,, yet,,,,

"SWEET! OHHHH!!"

Drake who felt the garlic in his chew immediately melted it quickly. Then he looked at the jar that should be on his side. But disappear and change with a bowl containing garlic.

"What'sthis? Why would there be-,"

Not yet done angry, Drake heard giggling laughter from behind. Apparently Joy and her two neighbors were standing there.

Pointing angrily at Joy, Drake stepped closer.

"So you did that?!!" tanyakanya.

"Ehehehe,, sorry, uncle.." Joy throws Drake's jar.

"SWEET!! You bad boy! How dare it bother me when my heart is upset!" drake shouted trying to contain the anger.

Terra approached and mediated. The girl held Drake's arm to hold him.

"Relax Drake, Joy's just a prank. Hihi, that garlic, for our cooking ingredients.." Terra smiled trying to relax.

Silent.

Drake did not respond. For a moment, his gaze was fixed on Luna. He saw that the girl was still reluctant to meet him. Evidently when Drake looked at her, Luna quickly threw away her face.

DEG

"alright. It's up to you guys. Think of it as your own house," Drake put Terra's hand away while twisting his shoulders.

Then, grabbing his snack jar back from Joy's hand, he distanced himself from them.

"Ready. Then wait for our food to ripen," cried Terra while pinching high plastic filled with cow's sausage and shrimp.

"Yeahy!" Joy ran to the kitchen to put the tray full of onions.

Drake glanced at Luna as soon as Joy and the two girls passed by.

••••••

PUSSHHHS

PUSSHHHS

The hot smoke from the delicious food that had just been served on the table was evident from Drake's eyes. While sitting daydreaming with both hands resting on the table, he played chopsticks in his hands.

At that moment, Luna came carrying curry soup from her pancake directly. Seeing Drake at the dinner table first, Luna became nervous. He lost his concentration and did not see that Joy was also walking in front of him with a few bowls.

DUKK

He hits Joy and loses his balance. He barks at Drake and accidentally spills curry soup. The heat of the curry stew flushed Drake's back and left arm until the clothes he was wearing shriveled in hot water.

SPLASSHHS

"Oh, duh, Hot!!" drake squealed spontaneously as soon as his body was doused in soup.

Drake got up and tried to take off his clothes. But apparently, he had difficulty when the left arm and back of his shirt stuck to the skin.

As soon as he forcibly pulled the part of the cloth attached, some of the blistered skin seemed to come apart from the flesh.

PRUTS!

"Oh, my God!" Luna saw this.

"Drake, are you okay?" Terra came running. He felt anxious as he looked at Drake's blistered arms and back and flushed with blood.

Worried, Terra was about to touch Drake's arm. Drake dodged and covered the wound on his left arm with his right hand. He also turned around and hid the wound on his back from everyone's sight.

Just then, he felt his arms like they were bubbling and took out something twitching from within his flesh.

"Shhh... I'm it's okay. Next time, can you be more careful? It's a good thing that I'm doused in hot gravy, not Joy" Drake replied grimacingly.

He had to immediately hide and look for water to cool his body. And to get water, he needs to go to the bathroom.

Unfortunately, if he moves just a little. Likely, all those who were staring at him would see something urgent and try to get out of his back.

To distract everyone, Drake moved his finger slightly to make a sound in the back.

PRANGS

Both Luna, Terra and Joy looked back when they heard the sound of a fairly loud object. Apparently, a pot fell to the floor.

"Did? Why did it fall?" Terra picked it up in surprise.

"Uncle Drake?? Where to, you?" Joy returns to face forward and loses Drake.

Both of Luna's eyes twitched in anxiety. Honestly, he couldn't just stand by to see Drake get hurt. Although yesterday he violently refused Drake's feelings, but deep in his heart, he was still worried when something bad happened to the man.

At once, he saw Drake's shadow running up the stairs. Luna hurriedly chased after him out of worry. Because earlier, he clearly saw a blistering wound on Drake's back.

After he had previously grabbed the medicine box, Luna walked over to the bathroom to help Drake treat his injuries.

"Stop!! Don't come!!" Drake, who knew someone was following him, shouted from behind his door.

Luna paused for a moment in front of the bathroom anxiously. He wanted to talk and ask, but for some reason, his tongue felt like a joke.

Finally, he stood up and leaned against the front wall of the bathroom for half an hour more.

"What is he doing inside? Why is there no sound?"

After Luna sat down, there was the sound of tap water rushing from inside. So, he also thought that Drake was flushing his body with water.

Who would have thought, in the bathroom, Drake was overwhelmed by the thousands of red objects that swirled out from inside his arm.

"Aarrrgghh!!" his moans were flowing under the water.

For the first time, he felt with full awareness how the threads of nerves racing out revealed themselves during the healing process.

Really painful!

"What's wrong with the F5? Why did he lose control and just appear in front of people?"

Just as he was able to take a breath, from the back came the exact same nerve thread that appeared on the arm. Even more and horrible.

KRYYTKRRYYTT

Drake turned off the water tap. It seems, his body has been overpowered by the F5. Without notice or plans. Even the past few days, he had been unable to communicate with the creature that called itself the bacterium.

••••••

After nearly an hour had passed, Joy caught up with Luna upstairs. He saw the woman standing daydreaming while hugging the P3K box.

"Auntie? Did you not come out yet?" tanyakanya.

Luna shook her head slowly.

"Then I help you get it."

Now Luna nodded.

GECK

GECK

GECK

The bathroom door in Drake's room was knocked by Joy. Call for dinner has arrived.

"Uncle, are you okay inside? Food's ready, let's eat together."

Drake did not give an answer.

"Uncle Drake??? Are you all right?" Joy's worried.

So did Luna. Especially after he accidentally heard Lulu talk to Terra, about Drake's death in the hospital. He becomes frightened if Drake goes back to experiencing the same thing.

"Drake??? Why are you inside so long?? I'll break the door, yeah! Did you hear me??!!"

Luna was ready to kick the door when Drake came out of the bathroom limply. His breathing sounds irregular.

"K Are you okay?" ask Luna.

"Yes, is uncle okay?" Joy also asked.

Drake turned his head slightly to Luna, "I'm fine."

"Thank God, uncle. Come eat with us, "Joy's happy.

Drake nodded and walked past Luna towards the wardrobe. Incidentally, Luna glanced at the hot gravy flush wound that was on Drake's arm and back.

"Eh, the wound is gone??? How could such a blistering wound disappear so quickly."

Luna looked shocked. His eyes glanced and kept staring at the strange.

"Geez, Drake.. I'm sorry, I-I," Luna was about to apologize for the incident just now.

But Drake hurriedly cut in, "You guys can get out now, I'll catch up."

"What?? Ah, I yes, all right. Come on, Joy, let's go down first."

Luna passed with her head lowered.
