Megi sat on his bed, one hand stroking Rezi's forehead. While his eyes were still focused into his tablet watching the movie inside his tablet.
"Meg, we haven't been shopping for baby gear yet?"
"Can't yet brother. He said wait for my pregnancy seven months, now it's still six months."
"Oh so, that means the room is not allowed?" ask Sean back.
"No." answered Megi flatly.
Sean nodded his head and refocused on his work.
"Aren't you sure you don't want to see the gender first? later it can be of course color for shopping for our children's needs."
"Every item you want to buy choose light brown and white. So men and women don't matter either?" said Sean flat.
"Eh."
"Why not sleep? it's almost midnight, Megi."
"He he." Megi grinned at the horse. "In a moment." continued Megi softly.
"Don't till I smash your tablet, Megi" Sean said.
"Yes, yes." Megi sighed and placed his tablet on his bedside nightstand.
Pull the blanket to get ready for bed. As Megi wanted to lie down, the vibrations from his phone rang. Megi grabbed his phone and looked at the incoming notifications.
His eyes immediately rounded when he looked at the screen of his phone. Looking at Sean who was still sitting on the sofa of his room.
"What's wrong?" sean asked as he noticed Megi's gaze.
"There's nothing." Megi replied with a horse grin.
Megi pulled out his blanket and hugged Rezi's body which was already fast asleep.
Megi clucked in annoyance and patted his forehead.
"Why can I forget Sean's birthday. Though accidentally picked up Rezi for a surprise love for Sean's brother. Stupid megi." said Megi slowly.
"Where am I not ready for anything, when should I say it anyway?" Megi looked back at Sean who was still sitting on the sofa, working with his laptop.
Megi kicked the blanket because he was upset himself. Sean's gaze shifted when he heard the commotion made by Megi.
"What's up, Megi? your stomach hurts?" asked Sean to come closer.
"No, I want to sleep in Rezi's guest room. Can't sleep because you're working."
"You go to sleep first, I'll go back to work when you're asleep" Sean relented.
"No, I want to move."
"Yes fine, whatever."
Megi opens his blanket and lifts Rezi's small body. Sean quickly restrains and takes Rezi into his arms.
Take Rezi to the other room.
Megi looked at Rezi's sleeping face, turning his brain in a way.
"Come." Megi stroked Rezi's cheeks gently.
"Dear wake!" Megi sat Rezi's body in a deep sleep.
Inevitably Rezi opened his eyes and cried whining. Megi patiently stroked Rezi's shoulder, awakening Rezi from the subconscious.
"Darling, Mama forgot Papa's birthday. How are we supposed to do?" megi asked as Rezi grew conscious from his subconscious.
Rezi shrugged his shoulders, not caring about Megi's plight.
"You're not helping at all, Mama" said Megi in despair. "Let's go down, accompany Mama to find something to surprise Papa."
Megi opened a refrigerator and also some food cabinets in his kitchen. Besides fruits and vegetables, there's nothing left in the fridge.
Megi took out some fruit and placed it on the table. Look at the fruits very pitifully.
"Mama." pull Rezi on Megi's shirt.
"Come, why are you still here, when do you see Papa?" ask Rezi who is getting bored
"What should you do, Rezi?" ask Megi confused.
Rezi again shrugged his shoulders, Megi sighed. He looked back at the fruits.
Slowly Megi took one of the apples, peeling it with a long skin without being cut, forming a flower from the skin of the apple.
Megi made some flowers from the rind of the fruit, and also formed the flesh of the fruit into flower petals, arranging them in a dish.
"Good no?" megi asked as the last petal he placed on the plate.
Rezi only nodded his head when he saw the fruit carving arranged by Megi.
"In China there is a fruit carving class like this, Mama never followed a few days, usually the class was followed by the descendants of nobility."
Rezi just kept quiet and looked at Megi's face. I don't understand what Megi said.
"Already, let's go up and surprise Papa." take Megi back.
"Well, which candle, ma?" ask Rezi plain.
"Rezi, don't remind Mama about the cake again, dong. Mama is stupid, tonight we love Papa fruit only."
Rezi nodded his head, holding Megi's hand back up the stairs.
Megi stopped his steps at the door, giving a plate with fruit carvings to Rezi's hand.
"Hold this and don't fall down, walk slowly, dear." Megi ordered gently.
Megi opened the door slowly, upon hearing the door open, Sean turned his gaze towards the door.
"Not sleeping, Meg?"
Megi shook his head and walked over, following Rezi behind Megi's body.
"Happy birthday, Papa" Megi said as he stood before Sean.
Sean let go of his smile and shook his head resignedly, looking at the ridiculous mannerisms of these two people in front of him.
"Who's the year?" asked Sean softly.
"Yes Papa is." Megi approached and sat down next to Sean, giving a plate with fruit carvings in front of Sean.
"It's so pretty, did you do it?" sean asked as he looked at the flower-shaped fruit inside the plate.
"Yes, I don't remember making cakes, you know I can't make cakes. You can only do this, sorry." said Megi guilty.
Sean took the plate and placed it on the table, kissing Megi's cheek gently.
"Thank you, baby." said Sean softly.
"Rezi here, kiss Papa." Sean ordered. Rezi approached and sat on Sean's lap, kissing Sean's cheeks gently.
"Ish don't want to, Rezi doesn't want to, does he?" answer Megi quickly.
"Rezi, will." replied Rezi innocently.
"Ish Rezi" said Megi annoyed.
Sean smiled and stroked Megi's head, dropping Megi's head into the chest of his field.
"Well, then what does Mama Rezi want?" ask Sean to give up.
"I want us to have a picnic where we have lunch together."
"Where are you going for a picnic? behind the house."
"Ish don't want to."
"So?"
"You're out in the open, you don't know where. Brother find the place."
"Yes." Yeah."
"So's the one who's ready for lunch, because I don't want to cook."
"Yes." replied Sean softly. "How many birthdays is this, Megi?" asked Sean flatly.
"Haish, you don't remember?"
"No, because every year I never get involved, no one says. So yes, it went by."
"32 years. Birthday itself just don't remember, do you remember when I was birthday?"
"No." Sean replied spontaneously.
"Haish Brother."
"I really don't know when?" asked Sean plain.
"Au ah, when." Megi replied sulking.
Sean smiled and stroked Megi's head gently.
"Here you go, it's almost morning. Let's go to sleep, Papa's done this little bit more."
"Rezi let's go to sleep, Papa is always more interested in the same job than us." Megi asked annoyed.
Sean just smiled to see Megi and Rezi back on his bed.
Soon Sean closes his laptop and strokes Megi's head.
"What do you want me to give you, Megi?" asked Sean while holding Megi's body.
"Why don't you want me to give you what gift?" ask Megi back.
"Why give me honey?"
"What?" Megi pulled both of Sean's cheeks strongly.
"No!" said Megi ketus.
"Not the honey, but the honey here." Sean tapped one finger on Megi's lips.
Megi let go of his pull and turned his back on Sean.
"Don't tease me, brother. Do you really want honey?" ask Megi sulk.
"Besides you I never wanted anything else, Megi."
Sean stroked Megi's hair, kissing Megi's head gently.
"What if it's my gift, you're handing yourself over to me tonight?" sean whispered in Megi's ear

Megi spread the pedestal on the grass at the edge of the lake. Preparing some of the food Sean brought from the hotel.
"Pa, I want that." point Rezi at the passing water.
"There's a shark. Anytime we play, yeah." persuaded Sean flat.
"Sister, don't do it. Kasian Rezi." bela Megi is soft.
"But after lunch I have to go somewhere else."
"Hem, another job" said Megi lazily.
Megi prepares the food into a dish, giving it to Rezi and Sean.
"You want me to bribe you?" megi asked as he gave the food plate towards Rezi.
"Son, I can eat by myself, dear." replied Sean softly.
"Rezi brother, I asked Rezi."
"Oh." Sean stared at Rezi, watching the little guy who could already eat by himself.
"Rezi." call Sean soft.
"Yes." Yeah."
"You love Papa?" asked Sean softly.
"Ehm" Rezi nodded quickly.
"What if Papa says, you're not Papa's son."
"Sister." hold Megi down with a slight squeeze.
Rezi looked at Sean with his round eyes, still not understanding Sean's words.
"Rezi don't listen to Papa, honey. Let's eat again." persuade Megi gently.
"After the conflict with Mika, I don't want to hide anything anymore, Megi."
"But Rezi's parents are dead. So there's no need to tell me that's okay either."
"Have died or not, it still does not change the reality, Megi." said Sean flat.
"I realized one thing, being honest at the beginning was better than later. If the result is bad, then ending at the beginning is much better than letting go at the end."
"Right now Rezi is too small, brother. He also said he wouldn't understand."
"Because he's a kid now, we have to tell him. Pretty soon, he'll remember without feeling any pain."
"But Brother."
"Status Rezi was known by many Megi people, if he later did not know from us. He'll know from others, you want to lose Rezi back then?"
Megi lowered his gaze for a moment. What Sean said was true, but he couldn't bear to say that to Rezi right now.
