"Don't be sad, you guys, I don't want to see Ken's mother sad let alone cry"
"Yes father" replied Kennan
"We love you dad" my wife said
"Dad love you too"
"Ken shower with father yes, later mother cook we continue to bring to the house of Irma's mother, we eat there"
"Have you told Irma not to cook?"
"It's dad, Irma won't cook" replied Nina and broke away from my arms
"Yes, you will finish bathing Ken, I help you cook mother"
****
Before bathing Kennan, I took off my shirt, which I had not changed after I returned home from work. Leaving only my daleman shirt and my trousers lingering on my body, Ken and I rushed to Kennan's room
******
I approached my wife who was focusing on cooking. His body was in a screech as I hugged him from behind, then a short peek at his right cheek
"Ken will see, confused again how clear" my wife's words made me giggle.
Indeed, as long as my relationship with Nina improved, we were often caught by our son.
"She was wearing clothes in the room" I said and slightly dyed the recess of her neck covered with a hijab, then took off her arms. "What should you help me with, baby?" ask me later
"This ulekin's a yes"
"You want to make a deck?"
"Yes, if you have, put it in this little box" he shifted a mini tupperware to my front "and put it on the dinner table"
"Ready"
"Dad mother, already finished wearing clothes" I and Nina compactly turned to look at your son who was pulling a chair at the dining table.
"Oh yes it turns out pinter is wearing his own clothes" I said then continued to buy sambal.
"Yes dong, right mother who teaches, right bund?"
This time I looked at my wife, she was focusing on sauteing squid, she seemed to nod thinly. My reflexes rubbed his head. "Thank you, teach Kennan something good" I whispered to his left ear, and we exchanged smiles.
Cooking activity was completed shortly after the Maghrib. Some of the side dishes, vegetables and soups have been packed in a fancy box called tupperware, only rice that we did not cook, because Nina said, Rio will cook at his house.
After bathing and praying for maghrib, we prepared to go to Rio's house. I drove my car at a steady pace, splitting the road, passing through various street vendors, who were ready with their meat. Because it's Sunday night, the streets seem crowded and a little jammed.
I read Kennan, who sat in the passenger seat through the middle rearview, then turned to look at my wife who was sitting next to me. He was folding his hands on his chest with a look outwards.
"Are you cold on the deck?"
"Yes, I think the AC is great"
Though if driving at night is also this temperature of my mind
Instantly I extended my left hand to check the AC that was directed at him, then slightly closed it. "Still cold deck?" I asked, then refocused on controlling my steering wheel
"A little mas"
What is the AC in matiin only, the window is opened a little"
"Not to mas"
"Where are your hands?"
"Where are your hands?"
My left hand clasped his right hand as soon as he stretched it out, hoping that my grasp would be able to reduce the chill running through his body, slightly rubbing it with my thumb. If only there were no Kennan in the back, I would have kissed his delicate hand.
Entering Rio's courtyard, Kennan immediately got out of the car, shortly after I parked and turned off the engine. Little girl named Azara Yuanda Anggara was sitting on her father's lap, on the porch chair, her smile immediately rose when she found Kennan running towards her, not to be outdone, she said, the little girl got out of her father's lap and ran to my son.
"Mas Ken" he shouted
"Why is it not cold outside?"
"Kan ade wait for Ken" replied Zara.
"Irma where mas"
"There's another dish for eating, just go in Nin"
"Take it" I said as I thrust a paper bag containing several boxes of food in front of Rio
"Nina cooks a lot of ya"
"The taste is from this afternoon, and just finished earlier in the Adzan maghrib"
*********
"Remember Nu, Monday you have to go to Thailand, change me" Rio said as we ate dinner "Nin, you know, Monday Danu flew to Thailand, there's a 5-day business trip"
"Know me" said my wife
"What's wrong with Nin?"
"Yes not mas, Irma more need Rio mas at home"
"Because you don't need your husband on deck?"As if sipping water in a glass
"Not so mas, Irma is pregnant young, she needs her husband to stand by at home"
Honestly I giggled in my heart to see Nina's expression when explaining, even though I already knew her point
"Nin, even though you've been back a long time, but she still keeps her limp" Rio continued with his chin pointed at me
I who was giggling alone in my heart, now it was Nina and Irma's turn to laugh at me.
"What wiry?" rio asked as I threw a glance at him "You want to fight?" ask again
"Nobita's basic bufft" I muttered in response to laughter by Irma and Nina. I had a glance at the children, they were cool with the chatter.
"Nobita is as slow, finish eating, you guys finish the dinner table as well wash the dishes yes" the remark came out from my lady's lips
Rio and I were looking at Nina
"Why?" asked Nina "if you don't want to, after night tell me to sleep outside of Nin" continued Irma, her tone sounded indifferent.
The two friends were very compact, I never saw them argue, different from me and Rio, always opposite direction, if outside work.
But we are quite compact in taking care of my business, Assistant and best friend, always giving the best for my company.
Finished dinner, cleaned the dining table, and washed the dishes used to eat, the four of us sat watching tv, while chatting. At exactly 10 p.m., I took Nina home
"Back on Dek, it's been a really good night"
I lyrics Nina staring at the clock on the wall "At that time, mas?"
"Why rush, only 10 hours, usually also 12 hours home" concluded Rio
