"Shit."

Drax looks at Daime and then looks at the thermometer and sighs loudly.

"What should we do now? We both don't know how to take care a sick man."

Daime looks at Drax with pain in his eyes. He doesn't have to state the obvious that is lying there in front of them.

After Primo's bath, Drax is the one who takes care of him while Daime searches the internet on how to cook porridge or rice soup for the sick.

But even before he could press the search button, his phone begins to ring and the caller ID might be the one who could save them from this famine.

"Aiden! Great timing! Come down to our house, we kind of have a problem that you might be the only one who can solve!"

Daime enthusiastically said which Aiden seems too confused about. He hangs up the phone and waits for the latter to come. Which Daime hopes that he will.

Aiden's morning is not as productive as the Santoros. His sister went to her Saturday class and Cassie went home for the weekend, since it is her grandmother's birthday.

Aiden wants to come with her but his sister rejects his request and made him stay to their dorm.

He thinks of inviting the Santoros but when Daime answers his call, he became more worried than excited.

He immediately dresses up and grabs his phone, wallet and keys before he left the apartment. He made sure to tell his sister about the sudden call from Daime and made sure he locked the whole apartment.

He walks as fast as he can so he could reach the house before the sun brightly peeks over the clouds of the Saturday morning of September.

As he reaches the Santoro house, he felt something heavy within him that made him stops for a while before knocking on their front door.

The security guard of the bank near their house is looking at him with a smile on his face. He smiles back and knocks at the front door.

Drax is the one who answers while Daime is dressing up Primo with comfortable clothes.

"You're a savior. Come on! Help us, who are poor humans that don't know how to properly take care of another sick human."

Drax drags Aiden inside of the house and immediately brings him to Primo's room. Aiden feels goose bumps all over his body as it shivers from how cold the room is.

The latter sees Primo gasping for air while Daime is damping warm water on his forehead.

"What happened?"

Daime immediately looks at Aiden's direction and smiles sadly at him.

"He got sick. After a fight last night."

Aiden looks at Daime who is looking at the floor while Drax only shakes his head. In Aiden's mind, he should not ask what happened last night since it is not his business.

Thus, Aiden sighs and just asks them about Primo.

"Did you guys feed him food already? Or any medicine?"

Daime and Drax freeze at the sudden question and looks away from Aiden, hiding their embarrass face. Their reaction made Aiden sighs and clicks his tongue as he walks to the kitchen and opens the fridge.

He is there to see what food he could make for Primo so he would have more energy to conquer this sudden Saturday sickness of his.

Aiden doesn't even know the reason why he is sick, neither Primo nor the other two cousins, who are watching Aiden from afar.

Aiden finds some chicken and other ingredients that could make some porridge for the sick. He grabs the chicken and look for the other ingredients in their kitchen before he cooks the porridge itself.

Surprisingly, their kitchen is complete with accessories and other ingredients that made Aiden wonders on how on Earth none of these two knows how to cook.

"Primo is the one who usually cooks for us. But sometimes it's Drax. They never let me cook because of what happened last time."

Drax answers Aiden's silent question that made the shorter guy flinch in surprise. Drax only smiles at him before going back to whatever he is doing with his phone.

The taller male smiles from time to time while Daime is searching through NF so he could watch a movie.

Aiden is just there cooking for the four of them while Primo is sweating all over his body.

Aiden couldn't ask for a better weekend than this.

***

"Ash, listen up."

A young boy stares at his brother's green eyes as he plays with his toys. His brother is washing dishes after talking with their grandmother who is making him marry some woman that she met at a dinner party.

"One day, somewhere, you will be meeting a person that will make you head over heels to them. When you felt that, never let go of that person."

Ash, the young boy, can't quite comprehend as to what his brother is talking about. Ash never felt the urge to fall for a person since he is just a little kid.

But when he looks into his brother's emerald eyes, he knows that he is serious about falling in love.

Since then, Ash is reluctant whenever someone mentions anything about falling in love since he is waiting for the right person that his brother mentions to him when he is a kid.

Until, one day, their grandmother calls out a meeting for all of the Santoro boys including those who are under the age of 18 years old.

Ash is one of those young boys that their grandmother called out. Hand in hand with his brother, they enter the conference room where their grandmother is waiting for them.

Their grandmother usually discuss about their future since the Santoros are mostly boys but this one is quite different from the rest.

Their grandmother asks for Ash's brother in particular and told him to stay on her side while they wait for another person to come in.

Ash's brother's face can't be painted since he had a blank expression and he feels sorry that his brother would be witnessing something that most of the older Santoros call us "Grandmama's Pick".

Grand mama's pick is like an initiation rites where she would be the one searching for the boy's potential wives in the future. Especially if that Santoro is single and had a lot of freedom in his times.

Ash stares at the beautiful woman that walks inside the room. Her hair is auburn and her eyes where light brown. She looks magnificent in here floral blue dress.

Normally, his older cousins would be smiling at how beautiful she is. But the young boy notices that none of them were happy to see her here.

Ash looks at his brother and sees how much he grimaces when the woman touches his arms.

Ash had felt the urge to throw the chair to her direction so she would let go of his brother.

He also notices that his brother is not comfortable with the situation and Ash wants to retort to his grandmother but knowing her, she might not care about that.

That's when Ash promises to himself that he would do everything in his power to save his brother from that woman, who almost took all of the money he saved just to buy herself some dresses and accessories.

When Ash turns seventeen, he asks his brother why he agreed marrying the woman, who cheated on him when he no longer has money to give to her.

His brother only smiles tiredly on him and says that he wouldn't understand. Ash really does not understand his decision of marrying the woman and he has more questions to his brother.

But seeing how tired his brother is makes his heart melts and drags him on his room and make him sleep there.

Two more years had passed and his brother is getting better and he is saving up more money that he used to. The woman did not come back to his life after marrying an old man with more riches than his brother.

Since then, both of the brothers are happy with their peaceful life. Until…

"ALEX!"
