BASEBALL WITH MY SON (18 AGAIN)
A FUTURE THAT CHANGES
The sky was bright again as before, having been colored by the black clouds that did not stop crying and dropped drops to Earth. It seemed, the cry had stopped after it was content to wet everything in the surrounding realm. Not to forget, he sprinkled a rainbow glow in the corner of the sky as a sign that his tears had now changed into a smile of happiness.
Right on the side of the trail, Adrian, whose clothes had dried up, was in a hurry to get to a house not too far from school. It seems that the house became the only option owned by Adrian at this time.Home that has been renovated a lot, but still holds a million happy memories of his childhood. Adrian himself could not stop smiling when he stepped foot when approaching the house.
And arbitrarily, Adrian walked into the house while shouting to call his parents. Obviously, Bu Santi who was sweeping the house was immediately shocked to see the presence of a foreign figure walking into his house.
"Mother! Adrian came home, ," said Adrian who immediately approached Miss Santi, he hoped his mother would recognize him at this time and find out what really happened to him. But unfortunately Adrian's guess was wrong, his mother was scared and immediately hit a broomstick in his hand to Adrian.
"Sir, come here first! There are strangers coming into the House" cried Miss Santi who still hit Adrian.
"What's buk? You again sew a hat for Aksara, you see -" Mr. Bimo immediately fell silent when he saw Ms. Santi who was hitting a teenager who was impolite to enter their house.
Obviously Mr. Bimo was also upset, he took the newspaper on the table and hit Adrian.
"Who are you? How dare you break into a house of old people like us, do you have the heart to steal our stuff?" asked Mr. Bimo who seemed most eager to beat up Adrian.
Adrian who felt that his parents had misunderstood immediately shouted loudly while walking backwards, "I am Adrian Wicaksono, your son!"
"Bas with a wayward son, you don't just want to steal into my house. But you also lie," said Mr. Bimo.
"I'm not lying, sir. I'm your son from the future, if you don't believe just ask me anything I'll answer." Adrian half yelled which made Mr. Bimo smile softly.
"If you were my son, would you know what your mother's favorite food was?" ask Mr. Bimo.
"An extra sweet chicken, so you always tell me to make up the rest because you don't like sweet foods." Adrian immediately replied spontaneously without thinking long, obviously the answer made Pak Bimo and Ibu Santi immediately stop hitting his son. Moreover, the answer is very complete.
They looked at each other, before it was finally Bu Santi's turn to ask Adrian a question.
"What happened to make you crave Adrian for three weeks?" asked Santi's mother who obviously made Adrian smile amused, in contrast to Mr. Bimo who felt surprised by Ms. Santi who even questioned the embarrassing thing.
"Father sulk because the name that was ready for his grandson was not used, so we had to change the name of our son to Aksara so that the Father did not sulk again. Only then, you finally want to eat and invite Mom to talk." Adrian smiled, then he patted Mr. Bimo's shoulder gently.
"Father is really childish, almost every day you sulk if you are not allowed to meet with Aksara. In fact, I was the first person to always say birthday to my son. And you are the only person who is most hysterical crying when the Bloody Fever Pain at the age of six years."
"You're right, are you really my Adrian?" asked Mr. Bimo who immediately hugged Adrian tightly, then followed by Bu Santi who also embraced Adrian.
"I love you very much" Adrian said, crying in the arms of his parents. Long enough they miss each other. Until finally, Adrian brewed warm tea and towels to blanket him who still wants to be exposed to rain a moment ago.
Adrian took a sip of the warm tea that was made by Ms Santi, like a person who was completely thirsty.
"If you're my son from the future, how come you're this young? You should be old" said Mr. Bimo who was still curious about the stranger in front of him.
"I don't know either, Father. I myself wondered why I could be carried here in this form, when I was running to" he immediately fell silent when he saw the eyes of his parents who were waiting for him to finish the words. He would not be able to imagine the sadness of Mr. Bimo and Mr. Santi about all the chaos in the future a year later, he also did not want to imagine the death of his son again. Even though the future has definitely changed, it has managed to prevent the death of Aksara a while ago.
"Where to?" ask Mr. Bimo again.
"Not anywhere, I think enough to discuss the unnatural. Better you continue to sew hats for Aksara," said Adrian who suddenly made the two elderly couples were stunned and faced each other.
"His face is also like Adrian's younger days, ma'am. If this is true, how is it mom? You are almost crazy to imagine it," said Mr. Bimo to Ms. Santi, both of whom became busy trying to digest the situation and ignore the Adrian in front of him.
"You still don't believe in Adrian?" adrian asked again who could only scratch his head just to see the confused face of his parents. Moreover, Mr. Bimo who was even seen giving the most funny expression compared to his wife, Adrian could not hide his gel feelings at this time. And slowly he began to be able to remember clearly that this small talk between his parents and all the funny expressions shown by the Father when the confusion could never again be felt after the death of the Scriptures that should have occurred, he said, but once again confirmed that it may not be repeated, because Adrian managed to prevent the death of his son.
"I've been wrong, it turns out that Father and Mother are experiencing things that are much worse than me. Not only did they lose their grandchildren, but they also had to lose their happiness from being busy taking care of me." Adrian snapped at himself in his heart, he began to feel embarrassed because it had troubled his parents.
"If indeed you are my Adrian of the Future, I would like to ask you one more time. Did we manage to win the competition as the best elderly couple in the subdistrict? So, did our neighbor lose the Kades election?" ask the hopeful Mr. Bimo.
"The question is there, if you know the results will not be a surprise. Don't answer that, son." Santi refused to get information from Adrian. But Mr. Bimo still forced that made Adrian laugh amusedly to see the debate between his parents, until he himself forgot with his anxiety.
"Jaudah gini aja, Adrian whispered to the Father so that Mother does not hear the results. How's it?" bargain Adrian tried to mediate the debate never-ending, the problem was that the debate even ended laughably for Adrian. Especially if Ms. Santi has been busy telling how flirtatious Mr. when young to make Miss Santi have to complain to in-laws and let Mr. Bimo repeatedly lectured his own mother.
"Yes, please!" said Ms. Relax while covering her hands.
"here, Sir! Let Adrian tell you, it's like a loss to you if you don't want to hear." Adrian provokes his own mother. Where not for some time Mr. Bimo immediately laughed happily while listening to a whisper from Adrian.
Obviously this happy laughter began to make Miss Santi curious, he also could not bear to let Adrian and Pak Bimo happy alone like this which made him spontaneously ask directly to Adrian.
"Why is your father happy, did we win?" asked Bu Santi who was instead given a mocking expression from Mr. Bimo.
"My mom wants to know too. Kan, it's true what you told you. Mother must also kepo, understand soul gossip her mother thrashed."
"Mother if one day not update the news definitely Kepo really," continued Adrian while laughing out loud with Mr. Bimo. Obviously, Mom relaxed immediately upset and hit the two of them with a broomstick nearby. For a moment there was a small war between Mother and Husband and Son, the three pursued each other like children only. But such a picture must have shown anyone that they are a humorous family whose life is truly Harmonious and simple.
Although Adrian is currently a great Professional Baseball Athlete with a considerable pure wealth, it does not make both parents feel arrogant. In fact, they refused many times Adrian's wishes asking them to immediately move to a more luxurious House only. They constantly defend themselves to live there, as they find the simple life much more enjoyable and the house is the single most beautiful memory they have had while babysitting Adrian since childhood.
Until not long ago, the small commotion died down when the television broadcast that aired the Lions League Club game was playing against other Clubs.
Obviously, Mr. Bimo jumped straight into the Sofa to watch his son's match. Also followed by Miss Santi who invited Adrian to watch the match.
Adrian, who felt that he should not have participated in the match, became astonished, because he remembered that the match should have been canceled when Adrian got the news about the death of his son. Now, he is increasingly convinced that the future has really changed.
"Son, are you from the future? Do you know the outcome of this match?" ask Mr. Bimo while still focusing on the television screen. At that time, camera highlights showed Adrian walking on Catcher Box along with the Pitcher who also walked on the Mound.
Adrian shook his head, "I don't know, sir. The future has really changed."
Santi's mother turned to Adrian, "What do you mean, son?"
"It was supposed to be cancelled, Buk." Adrian smiled, he could not lie to himself that he managed to change his own future. He managed to stop the death of his son and prevent his career from falling apart.Apparently, he managed to save two things at once at one time. And at this moment, he remembered his promise to the Aksara a moment ago.
"Oh, Adrian's baseball equipment is still my mom keeping in the shed?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, kid. You are the one who asked not to be thrown away. So, I put it neatly in the barn." Santi's mother responds in confusion, but Adrian runs straight to the Warehouse without explaining anything else.
He was much more excited this time, no one would have expected his personality from the future to completely change compared to his current version of himself. It may be that the pressure he is feeling while in the Team makes him cold-hearted, so it is not surprising that he is the current version and the version of the future is very different personality.
