Eduard was only able to fall asleep at three in the morning, because he held back his desire. He regretted sleeping one room without being able to touch Averyl.
His head still felt dizzy but Filio's voice continued to sound beside his ears.
“If Dad doesn't wake up too, Fio yell at Mom.”
Opening his eyes to the threat of Filio the first thing Eduard saw was his son's irritated face. His slightly dizzy head made him want to close his eyes again.
“Mother,” cried Filio as he ran from his parents' room to the kitchen where Averyl was preparing breakfast.
Eduard took a thousand quick steps following Filio.
“Dad didn't want to wake up, mom alone yang-“ Filio's speech stopped because of Eduard's voice.
“Dad is up,” Eduard gives Averyl a smile.
Averyl stared fixedly at Eduard, noticing the blackened underside of Eduard's eyes. Even Averyl's sleep was interrupted last night because Eduard moved a lot all night.
“Hurry to prepare today we take the kids to school,” Averyl said. His attention was again on the box for children.
With super speed Eduard broke his fastest shower record in 5 minutes of showering and 5 minutes of wearing clothes. Soon he returned to the dining table, there was Arsya who was enjoying his breakfast.
Averyl gave one plate of breakfast to Eduard. Eduard had a plate with his sandwich and compared it to Arsya's. “Why does Arsya's egg have three, while mine only one?”
“Papa is following the gym to raise his muscles to be more handsome. So need more protein.” Fiona's words succeeded in impressing Eduard, it turns out his daughter is quite smart.
“See papa's muscles are now big right,” said Arsya seemed to show off his hand muscles are printed clearly behind a shirt wrapped as his hand.
Filio clapped his hands with his happy face, “Aaaa Fiona was happy to have papa Arsya who was very handsome and charming. Isn't it Bu?”
Eduard was slightly surprised to hear Fiona's words. He examined his smaller arm muscles compared to Arsya. He cannot lose competitiveness, Eduard will also return to the Gym so that his good looks are not defeated by anyone.
While Averyl smiled in response to Fiona's question then shook his head slowly, it seemed as though Asyila's poison was starting to spread within Fiona's body.
“Fio really does not have muscles like Papa anyway, later no girl wants to be friends with you loh.”
Filio glanced sharply at Fiona who dared to tease at her opposition. “Bersik Fiona!”
Filio's cold words managed to silence Fiona instantly. Fiona would never dare to tease if Filio was in cold mode, she was afraid that Filio would leave her all day as she had. “Good ice king, Fiona will lock this mouth,” Fiona said as she moved her hand like she had locked her mouth.
This breakfast event runs smoothly Arsya say goodbye to go home.
“Let's go, don't be late,” take Averyl to his children. They got into the car that was in Eduard, Averyl was sitting next to Eduard while the children were sitting in the back seat.
During the trip Filio as usual focus on reading books. While Fiona looks fun with her iPad. His hands continued to dance on the iPad screen making graffiti after graffiti that resulted in an image of the forest owner's wild animal.
Thirty minutes later the car in Eduard's drive arrived at school. As usual, Averyl kissed his two children with affection. “Serious yes learn it, don't play too much.”
“Iya Bu,” Reply Filio and Fiona simultaneously.
Eduard just waved at Filio and Fiona as farewell greetings. “Now where are we going?”
“Do not know,” Averyl replied briefly. He got back in the car.
Eduard followed and started driving. “We hang out at the cafe, while enjoying the morning.”
“Usually I go straight home,” protest Averyl. All this time he was not happy to be in the crowd. He prefers to be at home doing activities he likes.
“Because now there is me, so today is not as usual.” Eduard knew he was pushy, but they had to talk and spend more time in order to get closer like before.
The second floor of the cafe is quite cool, neatly arranged plants make people who see feel like they are in the garden. The concept of the autdoor they used made the place where Eduard and Averyl were sitting exposed to the warm morning sun.
The coffee and tea that Eduard and Averyl ordered were puffing smoke.
“Sorry, yesterday I scared you,” Eduard opened his voice in the midst of silence.
Averyl squeezed his hands together. “I'm fine, it's just that yesterday your words were quite surprising to me.”
“Mami asked me to divorce you.”
Averyl who was surprised to hear Eduard's words immediately grabbed his tea glass and drank it immediately to legalize his throat that felt choked.
Averyl thought of the words to answer Eduard's words. He did not want it to happen, all this time his motivation to recover from trauma in order to have a family that is intact for the happiness of his children. Averyl knew how her mother-in-law felt to make the request, so far Alana was fair in the healing process.
“Pardon my selfishness Averyl, until whenever I will never be able to let you go.”
“At least there is no objection for me to your selfishness.”
Averyl's sincere smile gives Eduard a sense of relief, now he only needs to persuade Alana to make things go smoothly.

Averyl glanced at the beautifully circular watch on his wrist. “We have to pick up Filio and Fiona.”
Eduard asked for his bill. There was a tickling taste in Eduard seeing his meal bill that was quite a lot, one cup of coffee and tea was not enough to accompany their chat. Unconsciously spent a long time and enough food.
Averyl got up from his seat about to step up, but his body showed a surprised reaction as Eduard clasped Averyl's hand.
“Ayo.” Averyl nodded and walked hand in hand. The explosion in Averyl's chest caused a small smile from Averyl's aunt.
Averyl and Eduard had already arrived at the school, they were waiting in front of the gate.
Deheman of Averyl worried Eduard. “Your throat is why, pain?”
“It seems I ate too much sweet food, my throat hurts,” complained Averyl.
“I'm ahead for a while to buy drinking water, you wait here ya.”
Averyl nodded. Not long after the departure of Eduard Filio and Fiona ran towards Averyl, followed by Rangga behind him.
“Momuuu,” cried Fiona while hugging Averyl's leg. Averyl gently stroked the tops of the heads of his two children.
“Mama thank you, Rangga likes the provisions. The sandwich is delicious,” enthusiastic Rangga. Averyl gently stroked the top of Rangga's head.
“Mama is happy if you like.” Averyl loved Rangga. As a child Averyl did not get affection from parents. He did not want Rangga to feel it either.
“Bye Rangga princess Fiona come home first yes,” said Fiona with a typical flirtatious tone of a child.
Filio was a little annoyed with his sister's behavior, he waved at Rangga before getting into the car.
Aditama's father Rangga out of the car approaching Averyl. “Rangga get into car.”
Averyl was about to leave but his hand was held by Aditama. “Release pack Adi!” averyl's tone of voice did not sound friendly.
Aditama did let go of the ladder but now Aditama's hand with disrespectful embrace Averyl's shoulder until tight on Aditama's body.
From a distance Eduard who saw the indecent action walked with wide steps. His anger was unbearable, Averyl's look of unease and fear made Eduard want to finish off the man with his own hands.
