Five months passed, Dragon was already six months old. It has started to be taught asi food companion. There were many more new things that the little baby had mastered. He could sit up, grab toys and food and start putting everything in his mouth.
In keeping with his promise to Halim, Ditya brought his son and wife back to Indonesia four months after the Chinese new year had passed. Firstan will have her wedding in a few days. She was pushed back from her schedule, but the wedding was finally done too.
Taking a dozen-hour journey from London-Jakarta on a British Airways flight to Singapore, the family was briefly restrained at Changi Airport before finally flying to Jakarta on Singapore Airlines. They arrived in Jakarta the next day.
Luckily, Dragon was not fussy at all inside the Frolline sling. During the flight the baby boy only cried when hunger struck him.
“Fro, Koko has to take care of our suitcases.” Ditya explained while holding the hands of the young mother with Dragon curled comfortably in the chest of the Frolline, bound to a hipseat baby sling.
Setting foot back to Jakarta after almost a year in Europe, Frolline really wanted to cry. He forgot his favorite taste of meatballs and soto. There are many things he wants to do, especially let go of longing for his parents. He also introduced his first son to his opa and oma.
“Ya, Ko.”
“Do not stand in the crowd. Poor Dragon.”
“Ya, Papa ...” said Frolline with a spoiled tone typical of children, while holding his son's tiny hand.
Traveling while still two is much different from carrying their tiny baby. One suitcase that was enough for both of them, now it is not possible. Flying from London carried three large suitcases, two suitcases just for their son, Dragon.

“Bos!” Matt ran to Ditya as soon as he saw his employer coming out of the airport exit. Do not forget to show off a smile of happiness to the mistress who was carrying the Dragon.
“Do not go again, Boss.” Matt asked with a face. His embrace was so tight, as if afraid that Ditya would soon disappear
Zoe follows behind Matt, taking the suitcases out of Ditya's hands.
“Already, I'm not going anywhere,” said Ditya, pushing rough Matt's body.
“I'm serious, Boss. I don't want to control the big master anymore. Ever since having grandchildren, the great master was careless. Especially if the Boss cannot be contacted, one office is at.” Matt began to complain that he had been trying to hold. It's been gathering for too long, it needs an impingement place.
“Hah!” Ditya surprised.
“I'm surprised, Boss. Usually I like to be sick. This year has never been sick.” Matt told me back.
Matt turned his eyes to Dragon. The baby chattered indistinctly when he saw Matt. His hands reached for whatever he could touch with saliva around his mouth.
“It's a lot like you, boss. How do you print it until it can be very similar.” Matt comments back.
“Dragon my son, of course similar to me,” cerocos Ditya.
“I'm just happy Boss is home. I am free from the scolding of the great master Halim. Your daddy's a miss, boss. I can't tell you anymore, too sad,” complained Matt while taking his employer to the car.

Black land cruiser with a small family Ditya into a 2-story luxury house in the Menteng area. For Ditya is no longer surprised, in contrast to Frolline who has just set foot in the residence of Halim Hadinata in Jakarta.
“Ko?” Frolline confusion. He thought he was going back to their penthouse.
“Sorry, Boss. Great Lord Halim asked the Boss to stay here. The nursery and babysitter room for little lord Dragon has been prepared.” Matt explains.
Frolline surprised. Do not imagine having to stay in line with his in-laws while in Jakarta. Even so, Frolline tried to squash his worries. With a smile on his lips, he stepped down from the car and followed Ditya's movements.
Both of them stood side by side in front of the giant-sized main door. Two solid doors teak wood motif is still tightly closed. Frolline's heart beats while holding her son in a koala-style sling.
Matt pushed the door slowly. As soon as the door opened, they were already greeted by Marissa's smile.
“Mami, how are you?” Frolline prepared to scatter into Marisa's arms with Dragon shaking in her arms.
“Ssttt ... call Kak Marisa in front of Daddy if you don't really understand what to call. At least it's faster.” For the first time Marisa refused to be called Mami by Frolline.
“Sorry ... I forgot, Mi .. uh Sister Marisa,” said Frolline slowly, releasing her son who had been taken by force by Marisa.
Seen behind Marisa, Halim and his wife smiled as they stared at the same point, Dragon.
“Aih Jin Long, this is Ye-ye.” Halim who stood without a cane was so happy to welcome her grandson. Likewise Meliana, the old woman with the status of Nai-nai was also tempting Dragon who cried loudly because he was forced to separate from his mother.
The three focused on the six-month-old until ignoring Ditya and Frolline who were standing frozen in the middle of the door. Even the three of them did not care about Dragon's cry.
“Then this is the way, Koko sure .. we can produce many children, without dizziness take care of it.” He whispered softly in his wife's ear.
“Come, we make love .. nobody will care. No one will even look for us.” Ditya.

Until late in the afternoon, Dragon remained the center of everyone's attention. Moreover, Halim, for the first time the old man was willing to hold a baby. In the past, with his two children, Halim never did that.
Meliana, the wife is wide-eyed. Strange sight, seeing the awkwardness of Halim holding Dragon. Even sitting at the dinner table, Halim did not allow her granddaughter to stay away from her.
Dragon's deafening cry, finally came to a halt. Halim did not want to budge, and kept holding until the little baby was tired of crying and stopped rebelling.
"Dad, let Dragon sit alone." Ditya was just about to take over his son from Halim's lap and put Dragon in a special baby chair to enjoy his own biscuits.
"Leave it. I still want to be with him" Halim refused.
"Dad, Dragon is used to sitting alone and enjoying his own food. We are training him independently even though it is a mess" explained Ditya trying to give an understanding of the habits of his son during his stay in London which is rarely carried.
"My grandson is only six months old. There's still plenty of time to teach it self-reliance." Halim reasoned to wring roughly his hand asking Ditya to stay away. He still did not want to release the Dragon from his arms.
"Dad ...." Ditya pleads. He did not want all his hard work and Frolline while in London was destroyed because of the hardness of Halim's heart.
"You go or I'll hit with my cane!" threatening Halim, smilingly looking at Dragon who was dirtying his clothes with biscuits. The hands and mouths of our beloved grandchildren are messy and dirty.
