TRIBAL SABUNG
Chapters. 16 - Regi and Fuji -

Once the Sanjaya family finishes shopping is when the blue sky melts into twilight. When they were about to go out to dinner, the sky was unrelenting to thank the family driver. All because he was not happy to see the amount of groceries that must be brought and put in the trunk.

“Meats or seafood, which one do you prefer?” Regi asked while thrusting his tablet.

Sky come to see, there are several names of family restaurants with five-star reviews. The boy smiled cheerfully, it seemed as if his nervousness was beginning to fade.

“Ka-if ti-no to-objections, a-I-I want se-seafood Om!”

Regi nodded, he looked back at the tablet screen for a while. Afterwards the middle-aged man told the driver the location of the restaurant they were going to.

“Do you have any food allergies, Sky?” Fuji asked as he watched the menu of the restaurant they were coming to.

“Se-remember, I-I'm allergic to-crab. Du-I used to de-fever and b-cough after I-eat one mouthful of da-meat crab.”

“Yeah, just one bribe you instantly fever?”

Sky nodded while blushing shyly, “Pa-when a-I don't ma-problem eat u-shrimp a-or shellfish.”

“No problem, Aunt also have milk allergy!” Fuji tried to encourage while laughing slowly and then headed to Regi, “Om even cold allergies, he could not stay long in the place ac.”

Red tincture appears thin when Regi beats slowly, “If you already know, do not forget to take medicine and stay away from crabs!”

“Hehe..., yes, Om!”

After a day together, Fuji was happy to see the sky finally able to relax a little. This child since joining them always put on a sad, depressed, and tense face. That doesn't mean Fuji doesn't understand that. Of course she clearly understood how her foster child was feeling.

Anyone must feel anxious when they suddenly have to go with a stranger. Initially Fuji and Regi agreed to take a slow approach. They did not want to scare the sky, or make the child burdened.

‘But we even got a little carried away,’ Fuji sat quietly.

Fuji turned towards the car glass window, staring at the noisy atmosphere of the street. Well, how else? they had waited nearly ten years to have a child. At first, their marriage was not based on sincere feelings such as mutual love.

Regi and Fuji have their own ambitions, and to achieve those goals is by marriage. A covenant was written on black and white paper which was then brought into the bond of marriage. Under the vow of living, they also promised to use each other. Work together to achieve each other's goals.

The ringing of the cell phone sounded lamat-goal, not until the second ringtone, the owner replied. A faint voice could be heard speaking a few words, before the one hearing made a slanted smile. The tall figure stood up, walking slowly towards the large window that showed the view of the metropolitan city with lights illuminating the night.

“At the end, she actually adopted a child.” The glint on his black eyes looks dangerous, “You are really desperate once, Uncle.”

The dinner was peaceful, fun. After a day of stress, depressed by the couple Sanjaya. All of that is worth the new feeling that Heaven is feeling. Now the boy understood what Yatna was saying.

“I-this is family-to-family?” The sky whispered softly.

Fuji who sat beside him, turned his head. “You said something, Sky?”

“Ti-no! Ta-tante, i-it's e-good once, co-try it!” The sky put one of the foods on top of the Fuji plate.

“Then, the Sky should also try this!” Fuji took the fish meat, then handed it to the Sky. “Come, open his mouth, aah~”

This time Sky no longer felt ashamed, he happily opened his mouth wide. Accept with a big smile. Fuji had somehow wiggled his body, refraining from hysterical because of the anxiety on his adopted child.

“Lho, isn't this your favorite food, baby?”

“Ti-no! not again!” Regi's originally cold face turned frantic and reddened. He hurriedly gulped down the water to calm himself down.

“My husband attention once~”

“Oh, quiet!”

The sky noticed Regi and Fuji's interaction still with a wide smile. The boy scooped up the food and enjoyed it with a carefree heart. It seems like she is really getting used to being among Sanjaya's husband and wife.

“Sky, do you like to study?” regi suddenly asked, in a serious tone.

Without needing to think long, of course the Sky replied. “Like!”

Hearing that answer, the corner of Regi's lips rose slightly. “Learn vigorously, tomorrow.”

“Ba-good, Om!”

A Japanese four-wheeled vehicle stops right in front of the entrance of the Sanjaya family home. The butler, Bastian, was waiting to open the door and welcome his master's return. From behind the passenger seat door, Regi exited cautiously. He carried the fallen Sky not long after he had finished eating.

“Big Master, let me bring Young Master Sky to the room.” Bastian offered himself and already reached out.

“No need,” Regi refused while staring at the peaceful face of the sky sleep. The corner of his lips was interested a little, “It is the duty of parents to put their children to sleep.” He said as he stepped into the mansion.

Bastian took a step back, lowered his head, then followed Regi and Fuji into the Sanjaya family mansion. Upon arrival in the Sky room located on the second floor, Regi laid the ten-year-old boy. Fuji sat on the edge of the bed, watching with a smile that never faded.

The long fingers moved clumsily, trying to gently comb the hair that covered the forehead of the Sky. Regi watched in silence. After years of trying, after trying various ways. Finally one of his wishes came true, he finally had a child. It does not matter even if it has to be in the form of adopting a child who is not his flesh and blood.

“Langit is a sweet child,” said Fuji, sincere. She was clearly thinking of something similar with her husband. “Do you remember, with my words first?”

“It's just a contract marriage, never want each other. No love, no children, until this contract expires.” Regi was able to repeat the words that his wife had said many years ago. “It feels like just yesterday I heard it.”

Fuji shifted slowly, afraid of waking up the sky. From behind, the middle-aged woman hugged Regi's waist tightly.

“How will he grow up without a father? how do I raise her? I couldn't do it alone without my husband beside me. That's what I've been thinking about every time my heart and mind are not in line.”

Fuji smiled bitterly, “Who would have thought that it turns out we can not have offspring. After all you did to keep my heart and mind in line, after you chased after love and convinced me that we'd grow old together.”

“Honey,” Regi turned around, wiping a drop of tears fell in the corner of his wife's eyes. “Do you regret receiving my love?”

Fuji shook his head slowly, and placed his head on the husband's shoulders. Regi patted his wife's tiny and warm back.

“then what are you crying about? We are still together at almost half a century. It is rather unfortunate, we can not feel being a parent who gave birth to it, raising it from baby to adult. But the fact that I am happy with the presence of Heaven will not change. This boy becomes a complement to our lives.”

Fuji nodded softly, he grabbed her husband by the neck. The original feeling of heaviness and negative thoughts instantly disappeared. Regi is always able to make his heart improve. This man was her life companion, always there for her. People who will share their experiences with them in life.

Right, what's wrong if she can't have children. Now in front of them was a little angel sleeping. The presence of the sky becomes a complement in the household ark. Fuji will look after her, love her because she is his son and Regi.
