26 Aslan, The King Of Narnia (1/2)

The next day, she feel a bit dizzy because she cry a lot yesterday.

Slowly she open her eyes and found herself lay on Alan's chest who is lay on the couch.

Her movement made Alan to open his eyes too. She blushed as she stare at his eyes.

”Morning.” he said looking at her face, he slip a few strands of her hair to behind her ear. Divert her eyes, she said ”I'm sorry. I was not myself last night.”

”Mm. It's okay.” he reply. Seeing no reaction from her, he said again.

”Hazel..you…press on my chest. It's hurt.” he said after he could not endure the pain anymore.

Her elbow is quite sharp and she pressing on his chest without her noticing.

”Oh! I'm sorry.” she immediately sat up and run to her bathroom after that. Leaving Alan on the couch.

….

Aslan look unhappy today. It must be affected him so much when what he wanted, he can't get it.

Alan already know what happen in Hazel past. He feel sorry for her, but he also feel sorry to this little cub.

At last, he decide that he will be the one who will give him the dog that he wanted. But he keep it secret from him first.

After making some breakfast they sit at the table and eat their breakfast. Hazel like always, hide in her lab. Maybe she still shy for what happen last night. She let her guard down in front of him.

She let him see the vulnerable version of her. Fortunately, Alan was not someone who will take advantage on her desperate moments.

”Papa..can we go to the zoo today?” Aslan asked broke the silence.

”Well, I need to ask your mom's permission for that.”

”Hmmm…can we just go without her following us?” he play with his food.

He smile and look at him ”You sulking with your mom huh?”

”Hmm.” he pouted.

”I'll talk to her. Now eat first.” he ruffles his hair.

Stand up, he went to Hazel's lab.

Knocking at the glass door, he lean at the door frame.

”Hey..”

Turn her eyes toward him, she replied ”Hi.”

”Busy today?”

”Hm? Not really I think.” she divert her eyes to the glass tube and continue to do her work.

”I want to bring Aslan to the zoo. Can I?” he asked.

”Sure.”

”Thanks.” he went to his room and change his attire. Later, he walk downstairs and change Aslan attire. He pack his belonging into a backpack and ready to go.

Just when they want to open the door, Hazel call him from the upstairs.

”Wait! I want to go too.” she hurriedly go to her room and retrieve her bag, while Aslan already crossing his arm around his chest and stomp his feet.

”Hey..come on buddy. Don't be like that.” he tried to console him.

”But, she doesn't like me.”

Squatted down in front of him, Alan look at his eyes.

”That's not true. She loved you. In her own way. Okay?”

Aslan nod. Then he asked him.

”How about you? Did you also love me?”

”Of course I love you..” he replied casually and Aslan giggles.

”Then, marry my mom, so that we can be a real family!” Aslan suggesting.
