Way Back To Him ✓

04

That same day after a few hours of resting, the doctor said that they can go home so after Gulf payed the bills, they immediately hopped on the car and went home. He told their teacher if ever Markus will stay in the house for a while until he's completely dine because as of now, Markus skin is still red caused by the allergy.

It's already evening and Naomi is talking to his brother as they eat. Gulf now became more attentive and cautious. He don't want this to happen again, and he nearly got an heart attack earlier when he learned what happened.

"Mama am i going to school tommorow?," Markus asked him. Gulf shooked his head as he smiled at him and wipe the side of his mouth. "I told your teacher that you'll not going to school for few days until you're finally okay,"

"What about me?," Naomi intervent. Her cute cresent moon shaped eyes are looking at him cutely. "Am i going to school?," She asked.

"Do you want to stay with your brother?," Gulf asked. Naomi nodded eagerly and hug his brother. "Please mama?," She asked while using her puppy eyes. "I'll take care of my brother," she added.

Gulf sighed in defeat. "Okay, okay."

"Yey!," Both of them clapped their hands. They sometimes bicker with each other but they don't like it when they are seperated.

Gulf just giggled seeing his kids who looks really happy. "Now eat your food so Markus can take his medicine already,"

The two nodded and continue eating. He just observe them as Naomi sometimes feed his brother.

Once they finished eating, Gulf wash the dishes while the two are on the living room, watching cartoons.

After he finished washing, he open the fridge to get some cold water when he noticed that they're running out of food so he decided to go and buy groceries tommorow.

After drink some water, he put the pitcher back on the fridge and went to say beside his kids. "Markus baby, how are you feeling now?," He asked him.

"I'm fine mama," his son answered. "But i miss dada," he suddenly said and his shoulders fell, showing how much he wants to see his father. Naomi went on his lap. "Mama, i want to see dada too," she also said.

Gulf don't know what to say. Before, they sometimes asked about their father and everytime they'll ask where is he, all he said is their father is busy with work out of the country, but the truth is far from that. He really don't know who's their father is.

Gulf cleared his throat and took a deep breath. "Baby, i told you right? Dada is busy,"

"But we want to see him," Markus pouted. "Can't he call us using a video call? Don't he miss us mama?," Markus said. Gulf heart breaks as he can really see sadness in their eyes.

Gulf gather them in his arms and kiss both of their foreheads. "Ofcourse, Dada miss you two. But Dada will just finish his work okay?," He smiled forcedly. "Dada had a lot of works to finish,"

"Okay mama," Naomi said. "See Markus? Dada will come home once he finish his work," Gulf just smiled inwardly. Markus smiled and nodded at his sister.

"By the way kids, mama will go and buy groceries tommorow. I will call Uncle Boat to take care of you guys tommorow so behave, okay?," He told them. "Can't we come with you mama?," Naomi asked cutely. Knowing his kids especially Naomi, everytime they'll go buy grocery Naomi will always ask for chocolates that's why he'll try not to pass on the chocolate section or else, he'll ended up buying everything that Naomi will choose.

"No baby, Markus is still not okay and you said you'll take care of him right?," Gulf reminded her about what she said earlier.

"Oh," Naomi realized it. "Then can you buy me chocolates mama?," Her eyes are looking at him with hope in it.

Gulf sigh. "Baby, too much sweet is bad. And you almost have it everyday since Uncle Mild always buy you chocolates that good for a month," Gulf stopped himself from rolling his eyes when he remember that Mild always buy something that his kids wants. He's spoiling them.

"But mama please?," Naomi clasped his hand infront of him. "The chocolates that Uncle Mild gave is already gone." She said, Gulf's brows raised and Naomi realized what she said and she immediately covered her mouth. "Naomi," Gulf warned. "Last day, i saw 5 more chocolates in there. Did you eat all of it again?," Gulf asked her. Naomi pouted, as tears starts brimming in her eyes. "Sorry mama,"

Gulf took a deep breath. "Why did eat it all?," He asked but Naomi starts crying, thinking that his mama is mad because of what she did. Gulf hug her and rub her back. "Mama is not mad baby, but please don't do it again okay?," Naomi sniffed and wipe jer tears. Gulf kissed her cheek. "Promise mama you won't do it again,"

"P-Promise," she sniffed and they do pinky promise. "I will buy chocolates tommorow but you promise me you won't do it again," Naomi nodded again. "Good,"

"Mama, can you buy me toys?," Markus said to him.

"What toys baby?," He asked. Markus grinned happily. "I want the toy soldiers mama, the big one we saw before!," He even describe it to him by making a big circular shape in the aie using his cute tiny hands.

Gulf just nodded with a smile. "Okay baby, mama will buy it if you behave tommorow,"

The two raised both of their right hands, saying that they will behave under their Uncle's Boats care. "Now let's continue watching," he just said.

"Sorry Boat, i disturb your rest," Gulf said to his bestfriend. If only Mild is free then he won't hesitate to ask him. "Nah, it's fine." Boat said. "Just buy me some cold beer when you get home,"

"Uncle, beer is a alcoholic drink," Markus suddenly said. "And those kind of drinks are bad in your health," Naomi added. Boat just mess their hairs. "I am already grown up so it's fine kiddos,"

Gulf just shook his head and ooen his arms. "Mama will go now, give mama a kiss," The two immediately run towarss him and pepper his whole face with kisses. He just chuckled as he carefully pulled away from them. "That's enough," he said and turned at Boat. "Remember what i told you okay? Take good care of them. No peanuts and seafood and chocolates for them. And eat on time, Markus need to drink his meds on time too.

"Mmm, i got it. Leave it to me," Boat just said. Gulf nodded before bidding his goodbye to the kids.

Onche he went out of the house, he hoped on his car and started the engine. And after a couple of seconds, he finally drove off to the mall to buy groceries.
