A Bit of Your Love

Chapter 1

What a fortunate moment of her family's life, she finally opened her eyes from 3 weeks coma after the accident.

"Doctor, my daughter wakes up!" The father, Hilbert called for a doctor as he saw Ayrea finally woke up.

"It's okay now, sweetie. Mom and dad are here for you." Zara, the mother caressed Ayrea's head as she wiped her tears of joy. Her first child, Haizen, only stood there as he stared at his little sister who's closing her eyes back to sleep.

She was taken care by her family, eating and bathing, as she needed more nutritions. But they didn't stay till evening, since Hillbert and Zara had to take care of Ayrea's grandfather at home. So, Haizen stayed.

"Why didn't you go back? Aren't you busy working too?" Ayrea gazed into her brother's eyes. Her hands kept on rummaging the bag she took from her mother. "By the way, have you seen my phone?"

Haizen only looked at her while she kept searching through the drawer by the bed's side.

"Why? Can't live without Brian? He didn't even come here to visit you." His hand oulled out a phone from his shirt pocket and reluctantly gave it to his sister.

Sparkles landed on her phone as she saw it, happily took it and activated it. "He might be busy with assignments." She kept giggling. Then, she stopped not long after a minute she activated her phone. "Why...? Why did he ask for a breakup?" Her fearful eyes shifted to her brother. The expression on him really screamed worries.

"He cheated on you. I heard from your best friend that he's together with the campus beauty now." Haizen tried not to show his concern for her on his face. "And Mirelle told me to cut off your relationship with him."

Ayrea flinched by how Haizen told that her best friend would separate her from her lover Brian. There's nothing more that can describe her expression other than the feeling of betrayal. She clutched on the white blanket and stared at Haizen for some explanation.

"I told you, that guy is no good from the start." With a sigh, he messed up his hair as he began to feel so troublesome. "I don't want to pressure you by forcing you to break up with him."

She just realized that her brother really wanted the best for her, but she was stubborn to keep Brian by her side.

"It's pointless now crying over spilled milk. He's currently happy in his own world with his new girlfriend." His eyebrows didn't stop twitching as he got more annoyed by his crying sister. Of course he would get mad since his advise was casted aside by Ayrea only to please Brian. "Stop crying, baby girl. You're annoying me now." He sat on the side of the bed while his hand wiped down the tears running on Ayrea's cheeks, with the long sleeve of his shirt.

Ayrea felt the warmth of his brother's love for her, but she only noticed it now. When she's in a distress, there would be Haizen who's willing to comfort her even though he's complaining about it.

"So, what is your wish? Want me to stay or not?"

Her puffy eyes stared at his brother who waited for her answer. She lowered her gaze on the big hand that used to wipe her tears. "Stay."

The morning came and she looked at the clock. "It's school time." Then she tapped on Haizen's shoulder. She just realized that her brother's shoulders weren't like other men's, they're broad shoulders while Haizen's shoulders quite small. Maybe it's because he took it from their mother.

"It's 7 in the morning. Aren't you going to your office today?" Her hand shook Haizen's body.

He then stared at her blankly, he looked at his phone. His eyes were as if showed a feeling of waiting for someone's message but then he suddenly got upset amd turned off the phone. "Don't wake me up." He put his head back on the mattress, his cold hands were sliding under the blanket, it made Ayrea chuckled at his cute side.

'Maybe he's in a fight with his boss again...' She patted on Haizen's head until she fell asleep.

"Gosh, here you are, Haizen. Why didn't you go to work? Your boss came stop by at our house this morning!" Zara caressed her son's hair.

"I told you, Haizen is here. But you still didn't tell his boss about where he's at." Hilbert crossed his arms as he shook his head. Looking at his son who's peeling an orange and gave a segment of it to Ayrea.

"Is it too sour?" His eyes didn't let go of holding a sight of the beauty of his little sister who ended up being dumped by her own boyfriend. What a foolish young man. She nodded and saw Haizen was reaching out his hand with opened palm. Ayrea put back the bitten segment on it. "Hold on a sec, I will peel another one."

Zara looked at how caring Haizen was towards Ayrea. "Our daughter is being dumped by her lover. While our son is fighting again with his boss." Hilber sighed with the unfortunate fate that encountered their children.

"Say, what is it this time? You're fighting with your boss, about what?" Asks Ayrea as she gulped down the segment of orange.

"It's not a kid like you should know." Replies Haizen and it made Ayrea rolled her eyes.

She knew how much of his brother didn't tell anyone about him. Even to their parents, Haizen still chose to close his life story and kept all to himself. What could be the reason for him to bottle up all of his emotions?

"Good, Ayrea will be discharged this evening." Says Hilbert with a big smile displayed on his face.

As they tidied up the ward room, Haizen went first to put the bag in the car. But then, he met with his boss, Noah.

With a perfect appearance, he's leaning against the wall next to the main door. A grin crossed his lips as he saw Haizen threw him a sharp glare.

"You didn't come today, I had to come to you. What a bad employer." Noah tried to help holding the bag for him, but Haizen gave him a cold shoulder and left him. Chasing his employer, Noah finally grabbed his arm. "I get it. I'm sorry for not letting you know about my trips. Now that I'm back, won't you look at me?" He plead for Haizen's attention.

A sigh escaped his mouth. "You shouldn't be doing this, sir. And it's your business anyway, why would I by nosy to have to know about your trips?" He slightly angry, and Noah knew it. Since Haizen's raised one of his eyebrows, that's his habit when he's holding back his emotion.

Ayrea saw the two bickering at the outside of the hospital, she can't help it but to wonder if they're actually lovers since they always spat with each other as they met.

She glanced at Zara who just stopped next to her. "Mom, what do you think of Brother Noah becoming your son in law?"

She's against of the idea, shaking her head violently. "He's too old for you, dear."

"No, not for me. It's for brother."

Zara widened her eyes at her daughter's nonsense talk. "Quit it, can't you see that your brother doesn't feel peaceful with Noah around." She pointed at how Haizen finally let Noah hugged his shoulder. "Gosh, I doubt their relationship will last long. Let's get moving." She held Ayrea's hand and dragged her down towards the car.

The two of them were still talking, and they saw Ayrea and Zara came in their way.

"Mom, Ayrea. I have to go. The office is a messed up place if I'm not there. Say sorry to dad for me." Haizen brushed Ayrea's hair for the last time before he got in Noah's car.

"See? How can he be my son in law if he snatches my son away from me? So, drop the delusion of Noah becoming your brother in law, Ayrea." She shook her head, while pushing Ayrea into the car. While her daughter only gave a brief laugh.

"Mom, I broke up with Brian."
