Finding the Heart

Four Versus Four

The Marabahan family home is crowded with invited guests. The event will see Yudha's second daughter in the house of Rainal Juan Marabahan. The big and lively event was attended by Juan's colleague Dicky and certainly Yudha. The three of them are people who are quite well known in the community, surely many people who come to rejoice, happy for the birth of a baby girl.

"here,Sister. Let Dicky be the big Aldis. Risa's just eat first"

Dicky takes baby Aldis from his sister-in-law's arms, though tired, that night the entire Marabahan family gathers at Juan's house.

"Haloo. Be patient, your mother is eating. Maen same Oom Dicky first yes"

"Replace, Brother. I carry Aldis", Adellia's pinta.

"Later dong. Dicky kak aja baru gendong loh. Not happy playing, baby"

"Oh, Brother Dicky's sekilit"

"Don't struggle, so dong. Cassian Aldis. Tangent chose" said Yulia.

"It's funny, Ma. Tiny and pretty"

"Like her Papa", Yudha who suddenly appears to connect Adellia's words.

"Diiih, Aldis is beautiful, later if you are big do not imitate your bad father, so the good boy who sholeh"

"Have a son, badung"

Yudha pinched her youngest sister's cheek, Adellia quickly dodged her elder sister's attack. He's sitting next to Dicky. Dhika who just came down from the second floor joined papa, oom and tantenya.

For a moment Dhika was silent and watching her surroundings, then she was busy like counting something with her finger. Then he looked like someone who was thinking.

"What are you doing, son", asked Yudha to her firstborn.

He sat down side by side with Dhika who was smiling by herself. Seeing her Papa sitting next to her, Dhika shifted her sitting position. He immediately placed his seat on Yudha's lap.

"Papa"

"Hmmm..."

"It's like this so it's a dong series, Pa"

"Series"

"Yes"

He counted again. It seems to think again. Patting his head while shaking.

"What series?!", Dicky also sat down with them.

"What's that?"

"Look at me, Papa, Oom Dicky, Grandpa. Then the girl is Aldis, Mama, Aunt Adel, Grandma"

Dicky thought for a moment, what did his nephew say. Yudha who understood the meaning of his son laughed.

"So, who do you think won?!", asked Yudha

"Hmmm.definitely we dong, Pa"

"Eh.", Dicky still doesn't understand.

"The number, Dek", Yudha explained.

"What amount, Brother. Dicky doesn't understand it yet"

"The man's force was four men (Sister Yudha, you, Papa, and Andhika). Then there are four girls, (Kak Risa, Mama, Adel and Aldis). That's why Dhika said series. Four against four"

"Oooo..."

Haha.... Dicky just got it.

"Hm... So you said who won?"

"We dong, Oom. Strong.", Dhika mimics a bodybuilding style that shows her hand muscles.

Then he and his favorite handsome Oom Tos declared their victory.

"Hmmm. Already have an ally now huh??", ledek Adel saw the cohesiveness of the men.

"Auntie"

"What's wrong??"

"It's aunty's business. Women don't follow"

Judha and Dicky heard him laughing. There's-there's a babble this little boy thinks they. Adellia is not a balanced opponent for Andhika.

"It's been a joke, it's been the night. Don't be so noisy. Aldis just went to bed. If he wakes up and cries, watch out for you" said Risa in front of the room door.

Dhika, Yudha and Dicky fell silent. Adellia who saw the incident smiled ridiculing them.

"Horeee... Risa's good, can silence the three men"
