Father To Baron

CHAPTER 17

"This is his son, Neng?" ask a woman in the middle of her activities to choose vegetables. Some of the mothers who were there also looked at him and also the Baron who was engrossed in drawing on the ground.

"Yes, Mom. This is my only son, his name is Baron." Arita replied with a small smile engraved on her lips. The woman immediately gave the groceries she had chosen to the seller, and immediately paid for them.

Unexpectedly, the Baron who was originally busy drawing on the ground using the twig, began to stand from his squatting position. The boy looked at the three women who were near the mother, and also the seller who was an old man.

"Good morning, Auntie everyone. Recognize, yes ... This one's called Baron, Arita's mother's son." The adorable behavior of the six-year-old boy, invited the laughter of all of them. Likewise with Arita, who never expected if the son would say such a funny thing.

"Ah, you're so sweet, son. Here, let me pinch your round cheek." A young pregnant woman approached the Arab Baron standing beside Arita.

So slightly bowed her body, the expectant mother sparkled the first time she saw Baron's face. A gentle rubbing of the boy's left cheek, made Arita also comment on his smile.

"Why are you so adorable, Baron?" it was her who made the boy scratch his cheek.

"Just ask my mother why I can be like this." The answer given by the boy, again and again made them all laugh freely. So was Arita, who stroked the top of her only son's head.

Alternating with her neighbors, the two women who were both older than Arita began to approach. Just to get to know his new neighbor.

"When do you go to Bude's, huh? The house is the corner of the white color," pointed to the woman who is often called Bude, by the people around. The baron just nodded his head as if understanding, with a gaze that followed the direction the woman in front of him pointed.

Arita again smiled, seeing the good response given by the surrounding neighbors. He did not expect, if his presence with Baron in this region, will get a positive response from the surrounding environment.

He thought that he would be excommunicated because of his status as a widow. But who would have thought, precisely the neighbors are very easy to blend so as to make the Baron immediately look familiar.

"Bak Arita, we will walk together sometime in the afternoon. Later I will tell every corner of the village here," invite the pregnant woman while poking Arita's arm covered by a cardigan. Responding to this, the woman nodded her head while gently rubbing the pregnant woman's shoulder next to her.

"Can" he said lightly.

"Thank you very much, Mom. Thank you for receiving us so well" Arita said with a sincere look at the three women before her. Likewise with the vegetable seller, who has been very friendly to him since.

"Together, Ta. We are just happy to have a new neighbor" added Arum the woman who is identical to her round glasses. The speech was greeted by a steady nod by the pregnant woman, and women who are often called 'bude' by neighbors around.

"Bude Rini, Bude Arum, same Aunt Sisil .." muttered Baron in his small voice. Even so, the little guy's words were still heard by the four women who were still standing nearby. Suddenly, Arita smiled understandingly at the habits of her little son.

"He is, Bude. Always memorize the names of people who have been contacted," explained his mother who made the three women feel more amazed by the nature of the Baron. The adorable boy, who instantly caught the attention of all of them.

"Mother ... That vegetable brother, what's his name?"
