Charm Babysitter

Journey

*

"Allin, you're ready" Sella's mom orders me, after she finishes the call on her phone.

"What's ready, ma'am?" many confusions.

"You're coming with us out of town" Sella replied.

The holiday he planned in advance, had to clash with work, with little compulsion he had to divide the holiday with work.

Mr. Vano has allowed it and they have to take me to look after Dio.

All the way to the airport, the atmosphere was so stiff, there was no chat between us. My husband and wife behind me are busy with their gadgets.

Are they always like this?

They don't look like a couple, maybe if I don't know them yet, I'd assume they're partners at work, they're talking as necessary, there is no chatter or joke that is usually done like a husband and wife.

Mr. Herman, the driver who drove us to the airport, broke this silence with small talk to Dio.

The little baby would definitely not be able to answer him, he just turned and smiled, or he ignored Mr. Herman's call to him.

"Lin, Den Dio is smart now what?" tannya

"I'm good at crawling sir" I replied while resembling a child's voice.

"What a hell of a bitch Den Dio, it's crawling"

"Yes, I'm also learning to talk" I replied, still resembling a child's voice, as I squid Dio's cheeks with anxiety.

"Rap his cheek" jolted someone from behind my chair bench, prodding wet tissue.

I squeaked and spun my eyeballs without looking at him, taking the wet tissue he had given me.

"Currently, I thought I was unclean" my inner self

"From now on stop kissing Dio, I don't want any more scent of your body parts stuck in Dio's body" he said.

"Okay sir" I replied, wiping Dio's face with a wet tissue.

"The scent of your body part, what does it mean?, you perverted old man" I said in my heart.

Mr. Herman just shook his head while listening to our debate.

Ms. Sella was not disturbed at all by our debate, she was kept busy with her cell phone, maybe the work was too much of her focus, so she was not aware of her husband's childish behavior, or maybe he doesn't care, I don't know!.

"Lin, how do you notice that you are the same Dio so you look like you" said Mr. Herman pulled me back to the real world, since Mr. Vano's reprimand to me, I chose silence and preoccupied myself with thoughts about Sella's attitude.

"Similar to Sir" I asked

"Like what sir, don't compare Dio to this crybaby woman. Just a greengrocer doing nothing Mr. Sainin him" replied the perverted old man cutting off our conversation.

From now on I think he's been busy with his phone, don't know he's still listening to our chat.

"Honey" reprimanded Sella's mother to commemorate Mr. Vano.

But his eyes remained focused on his phone screen.

I was so curious, what he was doing, he'd rather spend his time on a cell phone.

Today's people, mobile phones are more interesting and important to them.

They may be able to get along with their families but can't get far with their phones, or they prefer to spend their free time with their phones. No, maybe in all situations they still steal time to still be able to shift the phone screen even if just looking at notifications.

"Curtain! The greengrocer" I repeated one of the spicy words that had come out of the mouth of the perverted old man.

Again I grieved while singing my mouth, although I did not return his words, but I realized from then on he must have noticed the look on my upset face.

"Basic mom" he replied fiercely.

Oh god, he's really childish.

Or I think maybe he didn't get any moral lessons at school.

Look at! How bad is his attitude to me, is he not aware that I am a woman who has a femininity attitude, who does not like to be snapped, in a corner let alone harassed, we women want to always be protected, we women want to be protected, in love and in spoiled.

"No...! Amit-amit dah, spoiled by that perverted old man" my inner self shrugged my shoulders as if amused and disgusted.

POV

Vano

The journey is so quiet.

For me, usually this condition will not bother me, I will enjoy it, it is a pleasure for me to pay attention to the busyness of Sella, how her look is changing. Admiring her beauty secretly is something I've been used to since the time we were in high school.

But right now there is someone who always catches my eye, Allina.

He who had been busy teaching Dio, introduced objects from early children's reading books, and his changed face emphasized every reading he read, sometimes accompanied by movements as a simulation form of the reading object.

Dio who sat on the lap seemed indifferent, he would rather turn the reading book around. Every now and then Allin commemorates by grabbing her hand and kissing her or accidentally biting her with anxiety.

Even so, Dio still followed the instructions given by Allin, even though only the same words were exuded from the tiny mouth.

Early learning is rarely recommended for children under one year of age. But routine simulation will get a plus for the performance of his brain that is growing, especially by introducing objects around him, frequent interaction chat-chatter in infants quickly increase his dexterity in speech.

Early learning can also be a starting point sooner for parents to know the symptoms of retardation or an illness of the baby.

Many children are now late to talk, sometimes parents do not understand the condition of their own children.

Delay in speech, for them is considered ordinary. And the passage of time, his children still unable to interact with the surroundings and only able to issue a few words, then they realize fully!.

One of them is Autism, the disease most feared by parents.

Autism is a brain disorder that limits a child's ability to communicate or relate to others. It is the instinct of parents who must be sensitive to observe the growth and development of children, to be able to recognize the gajala early.

"Lin, Den Dio is smart now what?" ask Mr. Herman to Allin. Instantly pulling my consciousness from earlier was too busy paying attention to Babysitter Dio.

I felt annoyed myself when I saw Mr. Herman's interaction with Allin, they ignored me. Sella is still busy with her phone. Just this time I felt ignored, when who they were, why I wanted them to include me in the chat.

"Huhhhh...!" grunts me in my heart.

My frustration grew as Dio repeatedly got light pecks from the mother's mouth.

What's with me.

"Rap her cheek" I jolted in disbelief.

I could clearly see the look on Allin's face grinning wryly and her eyes bulging dislike.

Yes, now that he is more courageous, he does not hesitate any longer to show his dislike with my attitude, all the ugly expressions on his face will be a show against me.

Spicy words still I let go to attack him, although he did not reply with words but his eyes were so sharp he used to strike back.

"Based on that perverted old man" I caught from the silent movement of his lips.

Yeah, a phrase he used often as a weapon to attack me.

"Basan mama-mak" I replied while holding back a smile looking at the anger in her eyes.
