“Young Master, here's the main dining room. Please enter,” said Ningsih while opening the door of one of the double door leaves.
“Te-thank you, Ma'am Ningsih.” The sky stepped in slowly.
After arriving at the dining room, Sky saw a long table with five chairs on each side. Below it is a large red carpet with a gold pattern decorating it. And on top of it a large chandelier in white illuminates the room beautifully. The sky pecked for a moment, admiring the grandeur of this room in silence.
“Come, darling!” Fuji waved his hand, then pushed the chair beside him for Heaven to sit there.
The sky, awakened from his admiration, immediately lowered its head and greeted his parents.
“Se-happy pa-morning, Om and Aunt.”
“Good morning, Sky!” Fuji replied cheerfully.
Regi is currently reading the news this morning on his thin tablet. After sipping his black coffee, he returned the greeting of Heaven and told the boy to sit down.
“How did you sleep? soundly?” Fuji asked as he took a spoonful of fried rice onto the Sky plate. “Is anything making you uncomfortable in your room?” ask again while putting two cow's eye eggs and two sausages.
“Ti-no, all ba-well.” The sky nodded small, a little hesitant yet finally held onto the spoon and fork. “Te-accept ka-kasih, and ma-sorry ka-because a-me to-lose overnight.”
“Oh no problem!” Fuji chuckled softly, this time he poured a glass of orange juice on the Sky glass. “Are you used to eating rice in the morning? sorry, I should have asked first.”
The sky immediately shook his head, “Ka-we bi-usual ma-eating rice in the early morning!”
“Thank God then,” Fuji immediately smiled again after a moment of gloom.
After praying for a while, Sky started scooping the fried rice. The boy blew for a while as it was still hot before devouring it. The aroma of fragrant cuisine with the smell of Indonesian spices. A savory taste combined with the sweetness of soy sauce, Heaven swallowed it with a feeling of joy.
“Enak?” asked Fuji who had been watching the sky.
“E-happy once in a while!”
“Ahem!”
Suddenly the sound of the Regi deheman cut through the light conversation of Sky and Fuji. The two of them immediately turned towards Regi. The middle-aged man looked to be frowning, putting on an angry face. The sky hurriedly swallowed the rest of his food and lowered his head in fear.
“Not good eating while talking!” reprimand him with a slow but firm tone.
“Ma-sorry, Om.”
“Ei~ doesn't need to be that strict,” Fuji said with a carefree smile. “Padalaan we once ate while wrestling each other.”
The corner of the Regi temple twitched slowly, suddenly as big as old memories appeared and made him cough again. Fuji chuckled after being content to tease her husband, while Sky stared at his parents not understanding.
“O-Om want mi-drink?” bargain the Sky while thrusting water because the cough Regi never subsided. “La-then Ta-tante, ti-not good as eating sa-while be-fighting!” he again rebuked with a serious look.
Fuji was blown back, while Regi almost spouted his drinking water. Really this one boy did not understand at all behind the meaning of ‘bergulat’ that Fuji said to Regi.
“You're right, it's not good to fight while eating. So shouldn't the old man there set a good example by not reprimanding the person who is eating just out of jealousy of not being spoken to?”
Fuji glanced at her husband, giving a sinister look. The middle-aged man turned clumsy, he indeed could not hide his feelings in front of his wife. They have been together for twenty years of marriage, of course, have understood with each other's habits.
“It...., ahem! finish your breakfast, we'll go buy some clothes for you.”
“Eh, i-it's not necessary! I-I brought my babajuku all by myself.”
Regi put the coffee cup, “You need new clothes, do you have a hobby?”
“Eh, ho-hobby? y-ya a-aku su-suka reading–”
“We all went to Gramedia, bought some books. What about music? any tools you can play?”
“Eh, mu-music? a-i-i can be-play gi-guitar.”
“Alright, enter the list of the best guitars on the list, Bastian.”
“Good, Big Master.”
The sky simply could not follow the flow of Regi's talk. All too suddenly, all of a sudden saying they were going to go clothes shopping, then suddenly a pile of what to buy list came up with Sky at the center. The contents of the sky's head suddenly filled, making the ten-year-old boy forget to spend his morning meal.

After breakfast, it was true what Regi had said. The three of them immediately got in the car and went to one of the largest malls in Indonesia. The sky looked in amazement at the majestic and huge building in front of him. The boy never went to the mall, never even knew there was a big building selling all kinds of necessities like the market he often went to with Yatna.
“That's housing, dear.” Fuji answered.
“Pe-housing in-above mall?!”
The sky was shocked again this morning. His eyes were fixed on dozens of houses that stood firmly on top of a mall. He was amazed, imagining the people who lived there must have no trouble buying vegetables. The sky was really impatient to enter the magnificent building and see what it contained.
The driver dropped the little family off right in the lobby, before going to find a parking space. Fuji holding the hand of Heaven, together they began to step into the mall area. As Regi said, they first went to the child's clothing area. There Regi immediately took a seat, opened the catalog and read it.
The sky that did not know what to do, finally sat beside Regi. While Fuji was already going around looking for clothes that suited him. After about ten minutes, Regi called one of the employees.
“Try bringing clothes from page one through ten to here.”
The sky that heard almost rounded his eyes. He also had time to steal a look at the contents of the catalog read Regi. So he knew that one page only had about ten kinds of clothes. Is it okay to ask for dozens of pieces of clothes just for Heaven try to wear?
“You guys if the size fits, directly you guys just wrap.” Regi added that made the sky almost choke.
“O-om, bu-isn't i-it too ba-much?”
Regi tilts his head, “This is still a little more than the clothes Fuji will buy for you.”
Inner Heaven was screaming hysterically, how many years would I want to finish trying everything?!
“Sky, babe!” Fuji called from one corner. “Come, darling! try this one!!”
“Ba-good, Auntie!” The sky jumped from his seat and ran towards Fuji.
Supposedly if Heaven had a chance, he better pretend to have a stomachache. His biggest mistake was ignoring Regi's words earlier. That what Regi bought is still a little more than Fuji. For almost three hours, the sky was like a mannequin doll that was being invited to play. Busy dressing, from one shirt stel to the next suit.
From one grocery bag, to a pile. The sky blue bead stared in horror at the amount of clothes Fuji had bought. But do not have the energy to talk because it is tired first after how many times to change clothes.
“Alright, next we go to Gramedia!” exclaim Fuji with passion.
The sky was eager to drag his feet, but his knees were sore from the slowness of standing. Suddenly his hands were held together and this time it was Regi. The middle-aged man cleared his throat softly, putting one of his hands into a bag of pants.
“What do you usually read?”
“Uh.., pe-empowerment of society.”
Regi immediately turned his head towards the Sky, his forehead furrowing violently. “Not a fairy tale book or a comic?”
“Uh.., I-I also su-like it. Ta-but I-I want to have a broad yes-yang insight.”
The middle-aged youth nodded in understanding, he let go of his arm to pat the head of Heaven.
“You can freely choose any book you like. Either to add insight or just fill free time.”
“Te-thank you, Om!”
After completing the payment, the Sanjaya family headed for the second floor of the Mall. There is a very large book area and has the most complete collection of books. Not only books, they also sell school equipment, electronics, to musical instruments. The sky went around, busy looking around while picking up books that he found interesting.
Meanwhile, Regi was in the area of musical instruments. The middle-aged man was looking at types of guitars ranging from acoustic to electric guitars. And Fuji, the middle-aged woman was in the school equipment area, she was busy choosing books, stationery that she thought was funny.
After nearly an hour, the three of them finally gathered together again to pay for their belongings. The sky did not expect, it turns out that there are also many books that attract his attention. The boy was a little scared, just in case Regi and Fuji were upset that he bought too many books.
“You can put your book here and pick up another.” that's what Regi said when Sky timidly put almost ten books on the cashier's table.
“Ti-no, Om. I-it's just that La-Langit ma-mau!”
“You sure?”
The sky hurriedly nodded, he was not feeling good if he picked up the book again. This was the first time Sky could buy more than one book. And it was already quite satisfied for this bloody boy.
“Alright, then what about this guitar?” Regi handed Sky a medium-sized acoustic guitar that was enough for children to play.
The sky received it carefully mixed with joy. This will be his first guitar, so beautiful!
“Te-thank you, Om! i-this is so good!”
Regi cleared his throat slowly while turning his face away. “Good if you like.”
