As the day passes by, the beginning of summer was coming.
The atmosphere started to become hot from the heat, you could also hear the sound of cicadas ringing around the place.
If you didn't wear long sleeves or a hat there will be a possibility to have sunburn or heatstroke. It was a hot month, indeed.
Despite that, there were a lot of fun activities you can do in summer as well.
For example, doing sports, listening to ghost stories, hiking to the mountain, camping in the wild or going to the beach.
Fishing and picnic could be an option for recreation too.
Sadly, Tereza was not in the mood to enjoy the fun atmosphere.
She was laying on a bed, having a fever because of the cold rain last night.
She was just heading to her factory outside the company when suddenly was drench by the rainwater.
Sure, the distance between the company and the factory was short. Only three minutes of walking.
But, how can you expect a heavy rainfall suddenly pour down? Mother nature was unpredictable.
Thus, she and her secretary was drench.
She felt weak and horrible. Her nose was running snot and her fever was high. It was 39 degrees.
She should be in the hospital yet she insisted to stay at home.
She cursed the flower spirit for their uselessness.
Who said about having a strong body? Who said about gaining power strength? Just because of the rain last night, she became sick the next day!
The spirit flowers shrugged as always.
We are no God. You get sick, so be it. We didn't say you'll be invincible human from the power we gave.
We could only make you recover a little faster than normal, but we can't prevent the sickness.
It's mother nature law and Tereza couldn't complain anymore.
When she heard the flower spirits explanation, she knew she will get better soon. So, she didn't need to go to the hospital for a simple fever.
However, a certain man didn't agree with her. Han was stressed because of his wife sickness.
In the morning when he tried to leave his work, he felt his body rigid, wanting to stay by her side.
But, Tereza scolded him weakly that he needs to go to work and she'll be fine after a few hours rest.
He felt really horrible inside.
He couldn't focus on his works. He read the documents flip and almost signs the wrong contract!
In the end, he left work early. He went to his car and drove to his estate alone.
Meanwhile, Tu, the secretary, was crying silently for the task that Han passed to him. Han trusted him that he could do well.
'Damn, overtime again!' Tu curses inwardly
He strode to his wife side and looked at her weakly on the bed.
She was still sleeping while frowning and panting.
He reaches his hand to her forehead, measuring the temperature. It was still high.
Although, she already drank the medicine that doctor gave her, she still in no better condition.
He sighed miserably.
Chibi Ringo's nanny came to his side holding Ringo on her arm.
She said, "Excuse Master, can I ask permission to go home?"
He lifted one of his eyebrows, he answered. "What's wrong? Do you encounter a problem?"
"Yes, my only granddaughter was in a hospital. She got a car accident early this morning. I need to take care of her. I was planning to ask your permission after you go back home in the afternoon. But it seems, right now it's alright to tell you."
Han showed his rarely sympathized face to other people--except for his wife. "Hmm, okay. I'm sorry for your granddaughter. I'll add extra payment money for your granddaughter recovery. I hope she'll be alright again." he said.
"Thank you, Master!" the nanny bowed to him. She continues with a troubled face. She said, "And..."
"What?" (Han)
"Who'll take care of the young master?" she said with a meek voice.
Hmm...that's right, who will take care of him?
In his estate only three old servants who work with him in the estate.
They were Sebasu, the gardener and the old lady servant who got promoted to Ringo's nanny. But she was asking for leave today.
Han didn't want Chibi Ringo get take care of by the young servants.
They were too inexperienced, he thought. He also didn't like people who he didn't trust enough to touch his son.
Sure, they were trustworthy until now, but his cautious still not letting him go.
To and Ta was busy with Han's mission he gave to them.
Tu, his secretary, was busy with recent new works. Akira, Hikaru, and Hikari were still at school.
They were changing to summer uniform and started their summer school.
Sebasu was in Tereza's office to help her works which were stack up from her absent.
It was Han himself order him to serve his wife, so he couldn't make him cancel his works now.
Then, who should he ask with experience and someone he could trust?
Hiring another nanny was too troublesome.
He needs to interview each of them to suit the requirement personality, it was for ensuring his son safety, of course.
Nowadays, we couldn't believe anyone who enters a place without proper background or identity. It was the same to his estate.
Except, the three orphans, they were a rare case.
Besides, hiring a nanny for only one day. It seems too over. So, should he call his mother?
"Mom, I need you for today." (Han)
{Today? I'm in Nara with your father. We visit his old friend, Nakamura-san. Remember him?}
"Uh, no. Father had a lot of friends and I could barely remember. If you can't come, that's fine. I'm going to hang up."
{Han what-}
tut...tut...tut
He had a plan to call his mother-in-law too. But, he didn't do it. He had a hunch she was busy too.
In reality, she was. Lucy Ginga was in Okinawa with her husband spending their another late honeymoon together.
It was summer for both of them. No kids allowed!
He looked at his small son. His bright blue eyes staring at him without blinking.
It almost like they were doing a small staring contest.
'What are you looking at, son?' he thought.
Suddenly, a young maid comes disturbed them, she looked at the master's troubled face.
She said with an enchanted voice, "Master, I can take care of the young master."
"No. You can take care of your own duties." he rejected her without looking.
"Master, but you can't do it alone. It'll be trouble for you. You're planning to take care of the madam too, right? It'll be a bother. So I can help you." The young maid said concernedly. She was really sincere for her action.
"You talks a lot, huh." He said with his voice turn flatter yet a cold aura radiated outside.
"Don't intrude about my business and dismissed. If I need help, I could simply call the servants."
He determined himself today! He could take care of his wife and his son by himself! It's only one day, how hard can it be?
The persistent young maid didn't want to give up.
She said, "But Master, you can just let me handle this..."
"What's your name?" he said annoyingly. He faces the young maid.
The young maid startled. Then, she became blushing. Was master finally recognized her? she thought.
She said sweetly, "Megumi Sawako, Master."
Han nodded and said with a smile.
"Okay, Megumi Sawako-san. Thank you for your consideration. I never know there's a considerate servant on my side."
The young maid's face couldn't help to blush more and her maiden heart skips a beat.
She always admired the master of the house.
At first, she was scared when she works here. Because the master's face always showing scary expression.
Sure, he was handsome but his aura made her avoid him.
The rumor that he was gay as well, made her down too.
When he finally married to the mistress of the house, he showed his rarely softened expression.
Since then, he smiled a lot around the house.
The young maid couldn't help to fell in love from his master changing attitude.
She knows this one side love never will be realized because the master's eyes only see the madam.
But, at least she could be by his side and hoping, for a chance, if she could.
Her eyes were gleaming and she smiled, "Master..." she said shyly.
"Megumi Sawako-san."
"Y-Yes?"
"You're fired." (Han)
"..." (Young Maid)
"Now, get the hell out of my sight!"
...
...
Therefore, he took care of his wife today. This was the fourth time he looked at the weak side of his wife.
He could see the process of her pain in the body.
It ached his hearts so much. He plants kisses on her hot body, hoping the fever could be transfer to him.
Han became Chibi Ringo's one-day personal baby sitter as well.
He should hang on until Akira or Hikaru or Sebasu to come back home, to help him.
He looked at his son in his embrace, chewing on his dummy.
Ringo stared at his father without blinking again, his eyes full of curiosity. What will daddy do? he thought.
Han asked his son, "Son, do you want some milk?"
Ringo blinked his eyes a little and nodded from his father question.
Han suddenly realized, "Ah, your mother is sick. So, what should I give you?" he looked troubled.
Ringo pulled his dummy which covers with his saliva. "Da...daua.." Ringo looked at his royal milk powder on the side table.
"Ah, that's right." Han nodded, understanding his son. He put him to his baby chair, then Han picks one of the bottles for the milk. "This bottle, is it okay?"
Ringo shakes his head and pointed to another big bottle.
Han looked at his son surprised. "You drank a lot for a little one like you." Ringo eyes sparkled and blinked a few time.
"Uahaun." Han couldn't understand what he says, but judging from his smiley and confident face, he probably said 'Of course'.
Han pondered, looking at the instruction. "Let see here, three scoop milk powder? A little hot water, wait to blend, add normal water and shake it. Uhh...It looks easy." Han began his mission confidently.
Yet It took him six minutes to make.
He gave the new milk to Ringo. "Here son. What? What's with that look? You don't want to try it?"
Ringo pouted and avoid his mouth from the milk.
He pointed his little finger to the milk and his daddy. Over and over again.
Han couldn't understand, but he just guessing. He said, "What? You want me to try it first?"
"Auea!" Ringo smiled.
Han scoffed. Are you kidding? In his 28 years old, he finally drank milk for a baby again?! No!
But...In the end, he tasted it anyway. The result?... It was too sweet!
He swore he only scoop three milk powder! What could have possibly gone wrong?
Damn it!
He redoes and rechecks again. It was not good again. Not good. Too sweet. Too bland. Too...Too...
Gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!! Not again!!!
Ringo looked at his father's suffering face, laughing cutely and pound his small table. He seems to enjoy it.
Han's clothes were covered with baby milk powder. There was a trace of powder on his face that he didn't realize.
What a mess.
Han who heard his son laughing started to brighten up.
He didn't know why his son laughing, but he cheered up again that his son was happy.
'Yosha! One more time! I can't let my son hungry because of me!' he said inwardly.
Inside he also reflected, he was so bad with this baby stuff!
Later in the future, he will devote himself to a book named 'How to Take Care of Baby 101'!
The books were very popular with newlyweds parent. He knows it from the internet, of course.
By the time he finished making the right milk. Ringo started to cry.
"What? Here, your milk is here." Ringo cried louder.
What? What? What? What's wrong? Han began to panic.
Ringo didn't stop crying. When he tried to grab his son to his embrace.
He could hear a 'Putt~' sound and smelled something...unpleasant. He wrinkled his nose.
"Uwaaaaa!!" Ringo cried even louder!
"..." (Han)
Nappy changes, Son?
