MY MATCHMAKER
FOR A SISTER, HUH?
"Mama semalem pelgi sama papa for baby sister huh?"
With her innocent gaze Aruna asked that to nadia. I don't know who gave such a lesson to the little one who was active and wanted to know a lot.
"Who said that to Ayank?" Ask nadia carefully.
"Tante, papa too. He said Ayank wanted a baby brother. Is there a sister in my mama's arms?"
Gosh, why do two people who are so compact that do not think long before telling something to a child of the age of Aruna think nadia with irritated feelings.
"Yet, his sister is not there. Do you want to have a sister?"
"Hmm, would you like to. Papa said to make ayank have a playmate."
Nadia forced her smile while stroking the black mane of her beloved daughter. Nadia sure, this Aruna-age child is not very understanding about what he is asking for. So Nadia was just trying to respond to just that and did not take aruna's request seriously.
"Ma, don't spend long with her baby sister huh. I'm gonna play with my sister, man,"
Not answering, Nadia prefers to immediately divert the mind of aruna from the baby sister who is being asked.
"We saw cake in the kitchen? Mama had bought ayank's favorite milk pandan cake."
"Green cake?"
"Hmm, cake green flavor pandan milk favorite ayank."
"You ma, can you ask for two pieces?" Aruna answered the spirit by showing her five right fingers while saying two.
"Hahahaha, okay okay. Two pieces for my mom's favorite ayank."
With his daughter nadia and Aruna's hands down the stairs. The state of this large house is always quiet if during the day because bramantyo spend more time behind the house to take care of the garden and birds and fish pet. Don't ask the hostess, of course he went to the office and marini was always in his room.
"That's one piece" murmured aruna with a mouth full of cake.
"Hm"
The mother and son were sitting in a downstairs television room watching Aruna's favorite cartoon. Sometimes Aruna asks typical questions of small children with curiosity is so great.
"Ma, why would a chicken eat like that? Why don't you use ayank's hands."
Patiently Nadia explained simply every question of her daughter. Luckily, Aruna always easily understood whatever her mother explained.
Bramantyo's arrival finally stops Aruna's question. Nadia immediately had time to draw the design if aruna was in the hands of her opinion. Since the baby, aruna will be very comfortable to linger playing with her grandfather so that she feels calm undisturbed.
"Opa, aunt dila said last night papa same mom for baby sister for ayank."
"Oh yeah?"
"Hmm, ayank asked papa."
"Keep answering what?"
"Papa said yes."
"Want to have a baby brother?"
"Hmm, would. But mom said the baby sister wasn't there yet."
Bramantyo is always stunned by the story that aruna tells. Children the age of Aruna can already tell everything they see or hear very clearly. Thankful that Bramantyo is still given the opportunity to enjoy caring for and chatting with his granddaughter.
"Thank God for the blessing you have created. Behind the nestapa still tucked wounds that can always give positive energy to your servant who is getting older."
