Chapter 7 Living Together
- Hannan couldn't sleep. For some reason, he suddenly had a hard time closing his eyes. When he glanced to the side, he smiled a little to find Dhea who had been fast asleep since four hours ago.
- After eating and taking the medicine earlier, Hannan asked Dhea to just lie down on the bed, with her accompanying him.
- They don't do things as Dhea worries. Apart from Dhea being sick, Hannan doesn't want it either.
- "This girl is really beautiful," Hannan muttered while rubbing Dhea's wrinkled forehead.
- For a moment, he put his hand on the girl's forehead, then took a thermometer to measure Dhea's temperature.
- 'Still a bit high,' Hannan said to himself when he saw the number thirty-eight on the thermometer screen. 'Get well soon Baby.'
- Hannan kissed Dhea's forehead briefly and then chose to get out of bed.
- Even though this wasn't the first time he had trouble sleeping, this time he felt weird about himself.
- Usually, if Hannan had insomnia, he would feel restless. But this time not at all, and he felt nothing but calm.
- Finally, that thirty-two-year-old man sat on the sofa in the room, his eyes never leaving Dhea.
- He stayed in that position for a long time, until he finally realized Dhea was moving restlessly in her sleep.
- Quickly, Hannan climbed back onto the bed, then hugged her a little tighter while one hand gently stroked Dhea's back.
- After that, it only took a few seconds for Dhea to finally calm down again.
- This made Hannan relieved, and decided to force himself to sleep, fearing that Dhea would be restless again.

- Dhea frowned as she felt a slight headache. It made her unable to open her eyes and complained a little of the pain.
- However, it turned out to be heard by Hannan, who immediately opened his eyes and swiftly scanned Dhea's behavior.
- "Dhe? What's wrong with you?" Hannan asked. "Your head hurts again?"
- "Yes," answered Dhea briefly and slowly, because she could not bear the pain.
- "Come on, I'll help you sit down. After that, you drink mineral water first."
- Slowly, Hannan helped Dhea sit up and piled a pillow behind the girl so she could lean back comfortably.
- After making sure his lover was comfortable, Hannan took a glass on the nightstand and helped Dhea drink. He also massages Dhea's forehead slowly, trying to help the headache pain a little less.
- "Are you feeling better? Shall I make breakfast? What do you want for breakfast?” Hannan asked.
- "Hmm? It's still five o'clock. Don't you want to continue sleeping?" asked Dhea back.
- "You have to take medicine. It shouldn't be more than eight hours, right? But it's even been almost twelve hours you know," replied Hannan.
- "Um... that's fine, if that's the case, I, whatever you cook, I'll eat it anyway. I'm not a picky eater."
- "Okay. Wait here, just a moment. I think I have stock of instant porridge. It's okay to just eat it, right?"
- "Yes Sir, no problem. Thank you."
- Smiling, Hannan kissed Dhea's temple briefly before finally getting out of bed and heading to the bathroom to wash his face, before heading to the kitchen to make Dhea a quick breakfast.
- »Guide Me to Your Heart«
- "Are you feeling well?" Hannan asked as he felt that Dhea was more relaxed this morning.
- After feeding Dhea breakfast with instant porridge and medicine, Hannan let Dhea rest for a while while he ate his breakfast alone in the kitchen.
- It didn't take long for Hannan to have breakfast, because twenty minutes later he had returned to the room and found Dhea who was leaning relaxed on the headboard of the bed.
- "It's pretty good," answered Dhea. "Thank you because I bother you."
- "You don't bother me, okay? It's only natural that you ask me for this and that because we're dating."
- "Are we really dating?" asked Dhea this time.
- Hannan, who was already sitting on the edge of the bed beside Dhea, immediately frowned, not understanding. "Yeah, we're dating. Your question is strange," Hannan answered irritably.
- "Relax, gosh. I'm just asking."
- "Yeah... your question is as if you agreed that we were dating last night in an unconscious state."
- "Well, as I said before, I'm just asking, okay?"
- Hannan nodded his head and then took the thermometer on the nightstand and measured Dhea's body temperature because she saw that the girl was sweating quite a lot after taking the medicine.
- "It's thirty-seven. Your head still hurts?”
- "It's not like that before. The drug reaction is really fast.”
- "Good then. You just go back to sleep if you're still sleepy."
- "When can I take a shower? It's sticky because it's been sweating since last night. It doesn't taste very good."
- "I'll ask the doctor first. But yesterday he said you can't take a shower first. If it's hot, just wipe it with warm water."
- "Who's stealing? You? Because I can't clean myself alone."
- "Why must me, Love?"
- “Yeah… so who else? Shall I ask Clarinta for help? She doesn't even know we're dating. I don't want to tell her now anyway."
- Hannan looked straight at his lover, who looked back at him with an innocent look. This made Hannan take a deep breath and then finally nod.
- "Yeah, okay. Let's go to the bathroom."
- Dhea smiled happily when Hannan picked her up and carried her to the bathroom, although in her heart she hoped that her boyfriend could restrain himself from 'attacking' her.
- "Are your working hours sure or not?" asked Hannan while starting to clean Dhea's body. That man deliberately invited Dhea to talk because he wanted to divert his focus.
- "Hmm... sure. There is a schedule every month," answered Dhea.
- "If I ask you to stay with me while I am in Bali, then you don't take work while I am here, can you do that?"
- "So we can meet like this?"
- "Yes, Love. It's not funny when I come here but you're not here."
- "How many times a month do you usually go to Bali?"
- "Not really, just as much as I."
- "Well, I can't do that. I've been given a schedule from a month in advance.
- “So… if you come here when I'm on my off-day, how about it? Normally I take two days off a week.
- "But it's impossible for you to come here every week. So, for example, if you come here once a month but immediately for a week, can you?”
- "It's been a long time, haven't seen you for three weeks?"
- “Hm… if four days every two weeks, how about it?”
- "Well, that's fine. But you don't get tired if you have two weeks off?"
- "It's okay, I'm used to it."
- "How long are you off this time?"
- "One week, because after two full weeks of entry and it was outside the area. For example, if it's only in Bali but there are tours for up to a week, or if I miss a day off, it's just an accumulation of holidays.
- "The thing is, in Bali, you take turns taking care of the guests. For example, if I manage from morning to evening, later when they want to eat and go for a night walk, there are others.
- "Well, if I go outside Bali or abroad, it's automatically the person who arranges it again. So they will be given double vacations.”
- "Okay. That means I go to Bali every time you have a day off."
- "Could it be like that? Isn't your work disturbed?"
- "No. I also have a team. Even if I have to go to court, I don't have to do it every day."
- Dhea nodded her head in understanding, then held her breath a little as Hannan purposely touched a glimpse of the center of her body down there.
- "Get well soon. I miss your moan."
