It was almost night when Reza and Laras got home. The two of them entered with Reza carrying two paper bags on both sides of his hand. Just as the two of them entered and passed the main door, Fania who was sitting in the living room immediately greeted them with a look that could be said to be unpleasant.
"Good, isn't it nice to be taken for a walk by the employer? Forgot about homework?" Fania said matter-of-factly.
"Mommy, didn't I ask permission. Mommy didn't have to be like that."
"You dare to fight mommy now?"
"Mommy...I only asked her for a moment, I just asked for company, don't be like that. Mommy don't be angry, remember your blood pressure."
"Hah...look! You see Laras, it's because of you now that Reza has become a rebellious child. You really are a bad influence, you know!" not wanting to argue with the child, Fania prefers to vent her frustration on Laras.
"Forgive me." That was all that could come out of Laras's mouth then she just kept silent.
"If it wasn't for Steven, I would have kicked you out of this house long ago."
"Mommy...it's okay Laras." Reza tried to calm Laras and his mommy.
"I am home." This time Rio's voice interrupted the conversation between Reza and Fania.
Fania frowns.
"Where's your father?" she asked Rio because she only saw the eldest son go home without Steven with him. Rio who was asked to walk slowly to his mommy to hug him slowly first, he glanced at Laras with a flat look.
"Mommy isn't sleeping? I have some paperwork for dad to take care of, maybe he'll stay over." Rio glanced back at Reza and Laras. "What is this?" he continued.
"You know what? He just came home having fun with your Brother, isn't that delicious? Even your brother defends her more than mommy."
"Mommy that's not what I meant."
"So what?."
Rio held Fania's shoulder to calm his mommy.
"It's mommy, now it's better for Mommy to rest. Mommy has eaten and taken medicine, hasn't she?" he asked slowly.
"already"
"Now mommy better rest, let me take Mommy to the room." Rio shrugged Fania's shoulders from one side then led Fania to go to her room, "and you, come into the room." He ordered Laras who kept silent.
"Yes Rio." Laras said slowly, she glanced at Rio who had now entered Fania's room.
"Laras, I'm sorry." Reza said when they were now alone.
"It's okay Reza, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. It's my fault."
Reza shook his head.
"No, you're completely innocent. I'm the one who wronged you."
Laras smiled gently.
"It's not your fault anymore, I have to go back to the room. You too get some rest."
Reza nodded. Before Laras returned to her room, he first handed over a paper bag he was carrying.
"For you, I bought this on purpose. Accept, I don't want you to refuse."
"Reza..."
"Take." Reza took Laras's hand and he immediately handed it over. "Use it well, your stomach is getting bigger your clothes won't be enough to cover it. Okay, now I'm going to bed."
Laras only answered with a nod.
On the other hand.
Behind Fania's door, Rio is now looking at Laras and Reza. He undoes his intention to go out first, let Laras into the room first, he thought. Because he didn't want to see or hear Laras and Reza's conversation up close.

Laras had just put the clothes that Reza gave her, at that moment Rio entered the room and immediately threw his bag and coat on the bed. His face looks very tired, Laras can see from the eyes that I want to close.
"You tired? You want to take a hot bath? Let me prepare." Asked Laras walking closer to Rio intending to take Rio's coat that was lying.
"Why didn't you reply to my message?"
"What?" asked Laras back to Rio because she didn't understand the meaning of the question, without a word beforehand. Rio suddenly asked her.
"Where's your cell phone?" Rio held out his hand asking Laras to hand over her cell phone, "I told you where is your cellphone!" he shouted because he didn't get a quick response from Laras, while Laras who heard Rio shout at Her was immediately taken aback and took a few steps back out of fear.
HAP.
Rio grabbed Laras's hand and pulled it a little tight making Laras's and Rio's bodies collide, or just his big belly hitting Rio. For the first time the two of them were this close, Laras could only swallow his saliva slowly for fear of seeing Rio's gaze which was quite scary.
"I'm asking you Laras, where's your cell phone?" Rio asked again, but this time with emphasis on every word.
"Rio, th-that's my cell phone in my small bag, it died because it ran out of battery. I don't know if there is an incoming message from you hyung." Laras replied with a slightly trembling voice, to be honest he was still afraid to face Rio, afraid of what happened the last time Rio did it.
Feeling Laras's body trembled and the sound was not good. Rio released Laras's hand from his grip, he rubbed his face roughly with his palm, really today he really couldn't control his emotions. Rio glanced at Laras who kept her head down.
"Please stop acting like that, next time check your cell phone. Remember, you have to reply to my message quickly. It's very important, or maybe you are too busy playing with my brother?brother..." Rio took off his tie roughly. "I'm going to take a shower, get dressed. I'm really tired today."

Laras moved restlessly on the bed, not knowing why her stomach hurt so much. She started to feel cold sweat now but he was reluctant to wake Rio who was now sleeping with his to Her.
"Ssshh..." Laras grimaced softly as she turned left and right looking for a comfortable position, but his stomach still hurt, "Honey, what's wrong with you?" Laras gently stroked her distended stomach.
Laras was in more pain when she tried to sit up, Rio was annoyed because Laras was doing too much movement.
"Laras! Can't you sleep peacefully!"
Rio turned his body to see what Laras was doing to disturb his sleep.
"What happened to you?" he asked in surprise when he saw Laras who grimaced holding her stomach. "Hey! Answer me!" Rio shouted again, but instead of getting an answer, Rio heard Laras's incoherent voice.
"Hey." Rio finally touched Laras's shoulder trying to shake Laras's body, but he couldn't because he felt Laras's body was wet with sweat.
"Laras!" Rio cupped Laras's face with both hands, when he saw Laras was half conscious with a pale face.
"Shit."
Rio immediately removed the blanket he was using, he got out of bed in a hurry. He immediately panicked when he saw the half-conscious Laras. He lifted the body to take him to the hospital. Don't forget to bring your wallet and cell phone just in case.
"Laras wake up! Hey!" Rio tried to wake Laras who was now curled up in his arms.
"older brother! Gosh Laras sister why?" Rafi ran towards Rio who had just touched the first floor.
"Good you're here, get the car keys and open the garage door. You're coming with me."
Rafi nodded, he quickly ran towards the garage to carry out Rio's orders, while Rio jogged behind Rafi. Rio immediately put Laras's body behind the driver's seat when he saw his car was already open, not forgetting Rafi who was guarding him in the back.
"Take care Laras."
"Yes brother."
Rio started the car engine and immediately started the car out of the garage. No, this is not what he wanted. Really. I hope Laras is okay.
