Cassandra's Story

19

The day is near noon. After playing, Aura wanted to eat at the fried chicken place. Not long after, they had already reached where Aura wanted to be.

"What do you want, baby?" Kevin asked Aura who was on his lap.

"I want chicken, I want fries, I want a burger, I want a daddy." Answer Aura.

"Daddy is not wrong with this, how much pesennya." Said Kevin.

"I'm still a growing father. So you have to eat a lot." Answer Aura.

"Udah pinter answer father's son now." Said Kevin while looking at Aura's nose.

"What do you want to pesen?" Ask Kevin to Cassandra.

"The chicken is pretty good." Cassandra Reply.

"Oh yes mineral water as well. It's not good for Aura to drink soda." Further.

"Yes, you're looking for a place. Let me take the pesen." Said Kevin while lowering Aura from his carrier.

"Look baby." Take Cassandra to Aura.

Cassandra was looking for a place to eat. And not far from their table, there are slides that children can use to play. While waiting for Kevin to order their food, Aura played at the place. Of course under Cassandra's supervision.

"Brave heart, baby, fall down." Cassandra.

Cassandra always noticed the motion of Aura. Until it didn't feel like Kevin had reached their table. And invited Aura to eat. Cassandra painstakingly feeds Aura a meal. Aura ate while playing at the place. He also bribed himself. While eating, hp Cassandra reads a sign of the incoming phone. When I saw it was the mother who called.

"Assalamualaikum, what's wrong, ma'am?" Ask Cassandra.

"Wa'alaikum salam. Mom wants to tell you, if you go home the keys of the mother's house are stored under a flower pot. In the usual place." Answer mother.

"Same mommy's going? So Myta goes too or what? So it's simple under the pot of his house keys."

"Myta wants to give birth. This is mom again in the hospital. So the house is empty at the moment."

"Oh that. Which hospital is ma'am? I will be followed there. Even though I'm still disappointed in Myta. But I also want to see my niece."

"In the hospital x mbak. What's what mbak. Kasian Aura if I come here. He must be tired."

"Later mbak followed there already nganterin Aura same mas Kevin to the house."

"Yes, how good is it. Yes, I just want to tell you that. Don't hunt, honey. Continue your activities first, son. Kasian Aura, she's afraid she still wants to play."

"So much attention to Aura."

"He's a mother's grandson. Yes yes, mbak. Have a good time. Take good care of your granddaughter. Assalamualaikum." Mom closes the call.

"Every boss. Wa'alaikum greetings." Answer Cassandra.

Kevin's heart warmed again to hear the mother's words. Cassandra accidentally meloudspeaker the call, because her hands are dirty because they are feeding Aura.

"I'm more sure of you. Thanks, baby, I didn't expect it. Your family also received me and Aura very well." Said Kevin.

"Same with mas. Yes, continue eating it. I will be allowed to go to the hospital. You go home with Aura. If asked by Aura, she's afraid she's tired." Cassandra.

"She's where to stay in the same house I both doang. Let's ask her directly, she wants to go home or go to the hospital." Reply Kevin in response to a nod of the head by Cassandra.

After they finished eating, they returned to the car and asked about Cassandra who was going to the hospital.

"Honey, you'll go to the hospital first. You're the same dad wait at home. What's up, right?" Ask Cassandra.

"Don't want to, I want to come with you." Said Aura who was on Cassandra's lap.

"Aren't you tired? mom's just afraid you're tired."

"What would you do if you went to the hospital?" Cassandra asked while looking at Kevin who was driving.

"What what is it. Which way is this?" Ask Kevin.

Cassandra also pointed out where they should go. Not long after, they reached the hospital. After calling my mom, they told me where to go.

After arriving, Cassandra saw her father and mother waiting in front of the delivery room. There were also Samuel's parents. Only Samuel was invisible. Maybe it was accompanying Myta inside.

"Assamalaikum." Cassandra.

"Wa'alaikum salutations." Answer them in unison.

"Cassandra." Samuel's mother hugged Cassandra.

"I'm sorry, auntie. Aunt has failed to educate Samuel." Continue while sobbing.

"Well what aunty, maybe I'm the same Samuel is not a match." Answer Cassandra.

"Not born yet Myta's son?" Further.

"Not yet." Say Mother.

"Kok Aura was brought here. Kasian, he's tired. Ma'am this is how it is, I told you not to come here. Fear Aura soy sauce. Not to mention tomorrow you fly to Bandung again." He continued at length when he saw the figure of Kevin and Aura behind Cassandra. And Samuel's parents came looking at Kevin and his aura.

"Aura wants to come with you." Kevin answered.

"I'm sorry, son. I'm so ashamed of you."Samuel's father approached Cassandra

"What's wrong, don't think about it. What is your health and aunt?"

"We're fine, son. You're good, aren't you?" Said Samuel's father

"I'm good at it." Answer Cassandra.

"Mother, I'm sleepy. Want to be in gendong mama." Said Aura whining in Kevin's arms. Make the parents look towards Aura.

"Just like dad. Your mother's ass if she has to carry you." Kevin answered, making Aura cry.

"Ga what what mas. You can sit down." Cassandra.

"Here baby, mother fat. But sitting down, what is it?" Said Cassandra while taking Aura from Kevin's sling and just nodding her head back by Aura.

"They're who? How do you call you mother?" Ask Samuel's mother.

"Known, this is Kevin and this is Aura's son. Aura thinks I'm her mother. Because she has no mother figure. Her mother died giving birth to Aura." Answer Cassandra.

"Please take care of Cassandra." Samuel's father told Kevin. And Kevin just nodded with a smile.

"Father same mother, also om and aunt already had lunch?" Ask Kevin to the parents.

"Not yet son, later if Myta has given birth." Answer mother.

"I bought you lunch Mom, you have to eat. Just bring it here for lunch." persuaded Kevin.

" Yes, it's up to you, son." Father say.

"alright. I'll go to the cafeteria first." Said Kevin.

"Titip Aura for a minute." Kevin told Cassandra.

They chatted in front of the delivery room. Samuel's parents asked him where Cassandra now lived and what activities she was doing. Cassandra happily answered all the questions from Samuel's parents. As for Aura, she slept soundly on Cassandra's lap.
