49. Other Life Skills

All eyes are on them. Except for Hayati who doesn't pay much attention. He was busy feeding Daffa rice because Daffa had finished eating his ice cream.

''Hello... Oma, Auntie, om I'm coming'' heard screaming from the living room. Everyone looked at the living room. Dion breathed a sigh of relief as all the attention was no longer on him.

Joshua appeared there with a fluffy smile on his lips and all eyes were on him. He focused on looking at Hayati who was feeding Daffa.

''If you go in read the greetings. Not shouting like in the forest'' said Oma Yenti.

''Assalamu'alaikum oma'' Joshua smiled.

''There are guests. Hey little boy what are you doing here?'' he continued looking at Hayati.

''Again om'' replied Hayati relaxed. Joshua's face became irritated when called om by Hayati. While Syamsul and Siti were surprised to see Hayati was familiar with the young man who had just arrived. Oma Yenti looked at the confusion of the two Hayati parents then explained.

''He is the son of Andra. Name's Joshua. Jo introduced this to Hayati''s parents explained Oma. Joshua nodded his head towards them Night om, auntie'' said

''Do you want to eat? let's sit down'' continued Oma. Joshua sat next to Dion.

''Ooo, it's been big huh. Where is Andra now?'' ask Syamsul.

''Usually, he's still abroad. He would rather live there than here Aditama replied.

''And where do you know Hayati?'' tanya Syamsul was still curious.

''It just so happened to meet on the street om'' Joshua replied smiling kindly.

''He helped Hayati who was bullied by thugs when she came home from the restaurant'' said Oma Yenti. Syamsul and Siti were shocked and looked at Hayati as if asking for an explanation. Hayati just shrugged her shoulders reluctantly explaining.

''Is our child unable to defend anymore since living in Jakarta?'' whisky Siti. Syamsul bobbing head sign do not know as well.

''Waduh you are great to know two handsome guys at once. Is your husband not angry you are close to men?'' ask Demia. She thinks Hayati has a husband.

''Suami?'' say the parents simultaneously.

''The widow now has a husband. Is he obsessed with getting married young huh?'' inner Life.

''Yes, isn't Daffa Hayati's son?'' demia asked astonishedly seeing their confused reaction.

''Hahaha'' Oma and Nila laughed. They felt funny about Demia's words.

''Haiss, if you don't know, don't be pretentious'' Dion's taunts flicked Demia's forehead.

''Aww sick sister'' cried Demia.

''That's what Dion said. If the school uses brains, said Joshua flicking Demia's forehead once again.

''Iss brother Jo why follow the sage'' said Demia sewot while rubbing her red forehead.

''Some of you just carelessly talk. Hail not married. I may have a husband, said Nila.

''Whose son is this cute?'' ask Demia.

''Sister''' replied Siti.

''Oo kirain young marriage. Hehehe'' Demia blushed in embarrassment.

The dinner was crowded. Especially with Joshua and Demia's chattering that is not stopped. Hayati felt that there was a difference between Dion and Demia that was very far away. Because Dion was quieter.

They sit in the living room after they finish eating. Daffa was engrossed in playing by himself after Demia brought out some toys. Demia likes to collect some children's toys that she thinks are funny.

''You have to be with Dion, Jo?'' ask Aditama on the sidelines of their conversation.

''What problem? Syamsul is like a family. So you can talk here said Aditama

''Yes, just relax'' Syamsul continued.

''Hmm, willing to discuss the issue of Japanese investors coming next week'' Joshua replied rather hesitantly.

''There's a problem?'' ask Aditama.

''The problem is that he came here with his wife, '' Joshua replied.

''Continue...?'' Aditama is impatient.

''Why do we talk about work?'' oma Yenti was not happy.

''If you have discussed the work issue, it must be long ago. Let's move on'' he continued. He invited Siti, Nila and Hayati to move to sit.

''For a while kok ma''' Aditama replied but Oma Yenti paid no heed. He was more interested in chatting with Siti and Hayati.

''The problem is that the investor wants his wife to accompany him to chat during the meeting if she can be brother Dion's wife. But Dion's brother doesn't have a wife yet. Let alone the girlfriend's wife does not have cheated yes'' Dion glared at Joshua.

''While in the office no one is good at Japanese except my secretary om'' continued Joshua regardless of Dion.

''If so just bring your secretary when the meeting'' said Aditama seriously. This time investors are very important for their company.

''She is on maternity leave, '' Joshua replied quickly.

''Hmm, just bring Demia'' said Aditama.

''Japanese Language Severe Demia pa. Only he himself knows what it means, Dion replied.

Syamsul listened and noticed their serious faces.

''After we discuss'' said Aditama. He only realized that Syamsul from earlier was just silent.

''Just continue. I'm okay anyway. I like to see energetic young people. It was like seeing my students on campus, Syamsul replied smiling.

''So it's the lecturer?'' ask Joshua passion.

''Yes, Syamsul is a well-known lecturer at the campus' Aditama replied.

''Definitely happy if om who became his lecturer'' praise Joshua.

''Haha, you don't know yet. If at the campus he is famous for the killer lecturer. But at a time like this he looks like a very gentle father with his son, Aditama replied. Joshua was curious about Syamsul.

''Definitely. We must be able to distinguish when with family and when becoming a lecturer, Syamsul replied.

''If you are confused who to bring. You can take Hayati. That is if he wants to. Om can't force him to refuse. Dion and Joshua were shocked when Hayati's name was mentioned. Dion knew that Hayati was fluent in English. But he did not know that Hayati could also speak Japanese.

''May you speak Japanese om?'' joshua asked as if he could not believe it.

''I never heard him speak English while guiding foreign tourists in the Panorama of the Japanese hole. He is fluent in English. But I've never heard it in Japanese said Dion. Joshua looked at Dion. He wondered where Dion knew about Hayati.

''Actually, I want a child who wants to know everything. All this time because he's a child we love so much. We have always followed his wishes in a reasonable context. He wants to learn English or Japanese we find the best tutoring place. Because he has a desire to travel abroad someday one of them is the land of Sakura. He also wants to learn martial arts. We put it in the best karate place. He has won the best black belt in his karate place explained Syamsul proud of his daughter. Joshua was only stunned when Syamsul told me. Especially when Syamsul said that Hayati is good at karate. Because he is very proud to have been able to help Hayati from thugs.

''And one more thing he is not a child like you said, Syamsul said. Joshua to death lice heard Syamsul's insinuations.

''How many more secrets are in him'' Dion's inner self.
