The next morning, Ken was already preparing to bathe Zee. He was still busy chasing his son who was walking around in the front yard, just by using diapers and t-shirts inside. Zee had even walked towards the Gitta flower plants that were neatly lined up in pots.
"Zee, let's take a shower with Daddy. It'll be a rush this afternoon." Ken is still trying to persuade the son.
"Andi calang? (Week now?)" Zee stopped his steps and turned towards the daddy.
"Yes. Come on, take a shower now. Want huh?"
"Indak. Ji au caught colo (No way. Zee wants to catch a coro/cockroach)"
"Oh, jangaann!" Ken panicked. He immediately hunted down Zee and directly carried her. If left unchecked, the son must be happy to plunge into a got or other muddy place.
Zee who was shocked by the sudden action of the daddy, immediately cried loudly.
"Huuaaaa huuaaaa, huuaaa tuyun. Tedi tuyyuunn." Zee was still weeping as Ken walked into the house.
Gitta who heard the son crying loudly immediately rushed out of the kitchen. He walked towards the son.
"Good, Mom! What the hell are you, until this cry?" Gitta grumbles in annoyance while taking over Zee into her sling.
"I'm okay, Yang. Zee wanted to catch the cockroach again" said Ken, pursing his lips. It's very similar to Zee. Gitta was surprised to see two different men of this generation while sulking.
"God! Zee want to catch a cockroach again?" Gitta looked at the face of the son who was still as unwilling.
Zee's innocent face that was already filled with tears looked adorable. His head nodded slightly as he stared at Ken.
"Au ain ama colo, Mi (You play the same coro/cockroach, Mi)"
Gitta immediately shuddered in horror at what the son said. If the other kid gets scared when he sees the flying beast, but not with Zee. He will be eager to chase where the animal goes.
"No way, honey. Cockroaches cannot be made into toys. He's a slob and a lot of his mills."
"Whewheck?" (whhewhek\=dirty/soot)
"Yes, Honey. Whewhisk. Zee can't play cockroaches anymore, can she?"
"Ndak au, Ji vinegar telbang. (No, Zee, I like the ones that can fly)"
"Let's ask Papa to buy a plane that can fly, okay?" gitta Tawal.
"Indak. Ji au the telbang. Ji ndak unya bulung. Huahuasca. (No. Zee wants one that can fly. Zee doesn't have a bird that can fly)"
"What does it mean that a bird can fly, Mom? Don't-don't you check in on Zee if he only has a 'germ' bird, Mas?"
"Hehehe, I'm just kidding, honey. I'm confused to answer your son's question if taking a shower together. She was so fussy asking this that, I was confused she replied." Kill Ken.
"God! Just the face of a little kid likes to ask, Mom. Just watch out if you check in on the weird Zee again. I'll make sure yours will also be 'anggrem'."
Ken had not yet heard Gitta's words, the sound of Retta's mommy came from the front door.
"Zee, Honey! Mama came to bring porridge, nih," said mommy Retta as she walked into the house. He immediately stopped when he saw his son, grandson, and son-in-law standing in the living room. "Eh, what's wrong?" continued.
"There's nothing, Mom. Biasalah, Mas Ken likes a weird fad like Zee." Gitta replied as she drew closer to mommy Retta.
Mommy stared straight at Ken. He could see the son was misbehaving. "Review if you catch your Daddy, Ken. Mommy make sure, Gitta's gonna find Nyedit two."
"Eh, no, Mom! Just one has made the men dizzy seven roving, what else added. Could've lost all my hair, Mom." Ken's still grumbling.
"Belgroff."
The debate between the child and the mother ended that morning when mommy Retta's driver had picked her up. Today, mommy Retta had to go to the hotel to have a monthly meeting with the staff.
Meanwhile, Ken was also preparing to leave for the office. In his right hand was a suit and a laptop bag. While the left hand, holding Zee.
"Mas, later in the day do not forget there is an event at the house of his father-in-law Khanza. Watch until you forget."
"Yes, Yang. I must remember too, though. It's not good if it doesn't come. Mommy and Daddy went straight there too, right?"
"Yes." Yeah."
After that, Ken immediately let down the son. Not to forget also he immediately kissed the cheek of the puffed up Zee before leaving for the office.
"Zee, Daddy went to the office first, huh? We'll play again, okay?"
"The Ote. Anti ain' rocking a mermaid huh, Ted?"
"What?!"
