"Titip Dilan huh?" Alena appeared by holding the toddler boy into the back porch where Arya was enjoying hot coffee in the afternoon.

"Where are you guys going?" Arya grabbed the boy's hand, then sat him on the lap.

"To the hospital." replied Alena.

"Who's sick?"

"Nothing. Just Alea immunization. Dilan likes to be fussy when taken, anyways he also wants to come here as coincidence passed." explained Alena.

"Oh, ..." Arya nodded her head. "Yes already, sana. It wasn't too late" he said later.

"Yes bang. Just a minute, I'll pick you up again."

"Hmm ..." the man just muttered.

"Dad ... yayang hungry, ..." The cute boy rubbed his stomach.

"What?" Arya turned her attention away from her smart phone.

"Hungry, .." repeated the toddler, still doing the same thing.

"Darling to eat?" ask Arya.

"Hu'um, .. mamam mi." the boy nodded funnyly.

"Mi?" Arya crouched down to align her height with her niece.

"Hu'um."

"Can't eat noodles." refused Arya.

"Nooooo! want mi!" reset Dilan.

"Can't eat noodles, baby."

"Nooooooooo!! want mi! ateu Vania!"

Arya's stunned.

"Eat noodles, ateu Vania?" he grabbed the shoulders of the man he called father.

"That's spaghetti, not mi." Arya chuckles.

"No, dad! that's mi! mi passed" Dilan patted her shoulder in a fit of anxiety.

"Alright, okay .. it's up to you" he said, rising and holding the boy.

"You want to eat at Ateu Vania's place?" Arya.

"Hu 'um. Ateu Vania!" Dilan nodded again.

"alright. We're at Ateu Vania's." Arya.

"Yeeeee.." The boy soared in excitement.

***

It was only ten minutes, and they had arrived in front of Vania's hawker spot. It looks like the place is very crowded, and it is always like that when the afternoon comes.

Vania seems to be busy with her customers. The girl was not even aware of their presence.

An employee came over, and immediately recognized the boy Arya was carrying.

"Message spaghetti bolognese, orange juice and one black coffee huh?" Arya ordered her food.

"Alright sir." replied the waiter who had returned to the room where he had placed the order.

"Ateuuuuuu!!" Dilan called Vania when she was serving a customer not far from their desk.

Vania turned her head and smiled when she saw the two of them, and immediately came over as soon as she finished her work.

"Old old?" ask her.

"Not yet, just two hours." Arya answered haphazardly.

"Masa? too long? have you eaten?" the girl was a bit surprised.

"Nobody has come, we've been waiting for." Now the answer sounds serious.

"Huh, is that it?"

The man nodded his head.

Vania then looked around, checking whether one of her two employees was serving visitors or not.

And one of them came with a tray of food, which he then placed on the table where Arya and the toddler were.

"Thank you." said Arya, before the waiter left.

"So he's not pesen yet because no one has come?" Vania murmuring.

"Let there be chatter." replied Arya, without sin.

"Ish, .. nyebelin." the girl muttered again.

"Do you want to stand there?" Arya while sipping her order coffee.

"I'm busy knowing Bang ..."

"Yes, get back to work!" arya.

Vania rolled her eyeballs, then left when she saw a buyer waving her hand to be served.

***

"Do you want another message?" the girl appeared again when things were a bit quiet. Some visitors have left the place after getting what they ordered.

"That's enough." Arya was still feeding food to her nephew's little mouth.

Vania then sat on the chair right next to Dilan who was chewing her food greedily so that both of her cheeks looked bloated funny.

"Ish, ... Is it funny you?" Vania rubbed the toddler's cheek. "Mama Na where are you? why not come?" ask her.

"To the hospital." replied Dilan.

"Hospital? who's sick?"

"Baby grandpa."

"Alea why?" Vania looked up at Arya.

"Aimmunization only."

"Oh, .. kirain was sick." he put his back on the back of the chair.

"Will not eat?" he spoke again after being silent for quite a while, noticing the man in front of him who was only feeding his nephew.

"No, just coffee." replied Arya, glancing at her coffee mug.

"Why? did you eat at home?"

"Not yet."

"Keep why not eat food? want me to make you eat? want what? fried rice? fried noodles? atu toast? it's complete here. All the food is." Vania with enthusiasm.

Arya was silent looking at the girl who kept talking. Lately he is happy to hear his voice that sometimes continues without pause.

"Did you?"

"Hum?" Arya was awakened from her daydream.

"You then what? I made it."

"No, I'm not hungry." refused Arya.

"Seriously."

"Hm ...

"Ish, .. why come here if you just want to drink a doang?"

"Dilan wants to eat. I'm not."

Vania throbbing.

"So he whined to eat noodles here." continued Arya.

"Mi? why the spaghetti message?" ask Vania.

"You're like you just met Dilan? he called spaghetti noodles."

"Hu'um, .. mi passed." the boy interrupted.

"Mi graduated?" Vania frowned.

"Mi's straight." Arya chuckles.

"Oh, ... " Vania laughed.

"Don't understand her language that sometimes sounds weird?" Vania is back to opening a new topic.

"Of course, I took care of him from birth" Arya replied.

"Yes too. More than her mother."

"Hmm .. daddy complex." Vania muttered as she recalled how possessive and protective Arya was when her niece was a baby.

"What?"

"It's okay. Good dad." the girl crunched her words, then smiled.

Arya glanced while scooping her shoulders.

"Eh, really don't want to order food?" Vania once again offers.

"No."

"Relatedly? though I was relaxed again, I made food." said Vania.

"No need. Just sit down, you look tired." reject Arya.

"Hmm .. yeah. Now it's just tired, if there are more buyers."

"The name is also trade. There's a time for rames, there's a time for solitude, too."

"Yes too."

"Your mentality will be greatly tested when it's quiet, there are no buyers."

"Hmmm ..."

"You're weird anyway." Arya continued speaking.

"meaning?"

"Students major in languages but choose to sell?"

"What's wrong?" Vania's a little whimpering.

"Not really. But a little off the majors you take. Not appropriate."

Vania fell silent.

"Minimum you should be a teacher." continued Arya.

"I don't think so. We can choose whichever course we want. But when it comes to work, we can choose what we can afford. Don't share the same education."

Now Aya is silent.

"Education is so that we can get knowledge, and make us change the mindset to be more advanced, but if the work should follow our pashion. It's more fun to do, and it doesn't feel a burden. Especially if you can create jobs for others, is it better?" Vania with her brilliant idea, and success makes Arya no longer refute.

The man smiled and heard him continue to speak.

"Look off with a smile?" vania.

"Your mind is different from most people." Arya is speaking again.

"Should be different bang, if the same as others when going?" answer Vania later.

"You're akelim." Dilan interrupted the conversation of two adults in front of him.

"What dear?" Vania poked her body towards the boy.

"You're akelim."

"He said he wanted ice cream" Arya said.

"If that's what I know Bang." The girl rolled her eyeballs. "Before a minute, take it." he took it from his seat and did what he said just now.

Vania came back in a few minutes, carrying a serving of ice cream that she promised.

"Most." said Arya, staring in horror at the bowl of ice cream for the adult's size.

"One portion is this."

"But that's mostly for Dilan?"

"So, you don't know, every time he eats ice cream here also runs out a serving of gini."

"Times?"

"Hmm .. brother does not know anyway, the opening time is the first he ordered. I forgot that time didn't come, did you?"

"Hm ..." Arya nodded her head.

"Eat him don't know."

"Yes," the man poked his lips hard.

***

"Nooooo!! full up!" Dilan shook her head as Vania tried to return a scoop of ice cream to her mouth.

"One more, huh?" the girl persuaded.

"Nooo .. full!" reject Dilan.

"Ish, ... said he wanted ice cream, but not abisin?" Vania grumbling.

"You're wrong, you shouldn't bring that much ice cream. He was a little girl, ..."

"Yes, I think I'll usually."

"He should have eaten his straight noodles, so it's probably satiety."

Vania throbbing.

"Abang abisin deh ice cream." he shifted the bowl of ice cream in front of Arya.

"No. I don't like ice cream" Arya said.

"Enak knows bang, ..."

The man shook his head.

"What a strange thing, .. when this is delicious. Does everyone like ice cream?"

"Yes, except me." replied Arya.

"From before don't like it?"

"That's how."

"Why?"

"Not knowing."

"Try bang first."

"No way."

"A little bit, will you like it immediately?"

"No way."

"Try it first."

"No."

"Ish, ..." Vania scooped up a spoonful of sweet and cold snacks, then she thrust forward Arya. "Zor."

The man stared at the ice cream, then Vania's face alternately.

"Let's try this, it's delicious."

"No way." the man refused.

"Ish, ..." Vania got up from her seat, then walked closer to Arya. Somehow he wanted to force the man to eat what he had in his hand.

Arya rewinded her body until her back docked to the back of the chair.

"I told you, I don't want to .." but a scoop of vanilla flavored ice cream went into his mouth, and he couldn't resist anymore.

"Just try a little why?" the girl returned to her chair. "Not going to get poisoned either."

Arya swallowed the food quickly, but the cold and sweet taste also quickly spread in the mouth and throat. He grimaced a little.

"Cold" he said.

"Yes, it's cold. The name is also ice, if it's hot, it's soup" said Vania.

The man fell silent, still feeling the remaining ice cream in his mouth.

"Vanila" he said again.

"Huh, what?"

"Vanilla. Vanilla taste." he's with his flat look.

"Oh, .. Yes indeed." Vania devoured the rest of the boy's ice cream beside her.

Vania, .. vanilla. muttered Arya in heart.
