Grandpa's Choice Man

Not Forgotten, but Not Knowing It

"Welcome, Mother's Son. It's half a month away from you. The house is quiet as well," welcome Bu Ina hugging Tiara who just arrived home with Rama.

Tiara welcomes Bu Ina's embrace warmly, while Rama goes to the room to bring Tiara's belongings. Suddenly, two children about eight years old were running around them scrambling over a piece of paper containing pictures of a small child. One of them is Mahesa, the second child of Rio (the first brother of Rama). The other was Sekar, the first son of Rissa (the second brother of Rama). Then, following a girl about 14 years old, Rio's first child named Anjani. Upon seeing Bu Ina and Tiara hugging, his steps suddenly came to a halt and put on a sour face. Before long, he passed from that space with a face full of hatred.

"Oma, Mahes snatch the picture of Sekar," Sekar whine almost cried and gave up pursuing the very active Mahesa.

"Mahes just borrowed it, Oma. Emang stingy Sekar-ung this," Mahesa denied back ridiculing.

Bu Ina let go of his embrace to Tiara. Then, he and Tiara looked at Mahesa and Sekar who were standing in front of them. Their gazes were both pleading for defense and justice. The ignorant Mahesa and the spoiled Sekar are indeed very suitable partners to fight and make the atmosphere into an uproar.

Bu Ina looked at her two grandchildren with a very charming smile. In fact, without a word could make the eyes of his two grandchildren again melt. Moved Mahesa's head and Sekar full of tenderness.

"Mahesa has asked Sekar for permission if he wants to borrow the picture?" bu Ina's question was full of gentleness while looking at Mahesa's black eyes.

"No permission, Oma!" deny Sekar interrupts.

"But I'll borrow it, Sekar!" bela Mahesa does not want to lose.

"That means Mahesa hasn't permission yet?" ask Bu Ina with a smile.

"Hehe. Not yet, Oma," Mahesa replied.

"If taking a man's property without permission is his name, Mahes?" mrs Ina asked so patiently.

"Stole, Oma. But Mahes does not steal. Mahesh just wanted to see, then returned really," Mahesa replied still defending himself.

Tiara knelt on her knees, spelling out the high fingers of two children who were now her nephew. Tiara looked at them alternately in a friendly and gentle manner.

"Mahesa, if later returned if not ask permission his name snatch not borrow. Borrowing it may be, but seizing it is not good. Try if Mahesa's favorite toy is taken by Sekar, how does Mahesa feel?" tanya Tiara tried to help Bu Ina to mediate them.

"Of course Mahes was angry and sad, Auntie " replied Mahesa so innocently.

"Well, if the goods Sekar taken by force by Mahes of course Sekar also feel the same," said Tiara with a child tone.

"Yes, Auntie" said Mahesa, looking down on her mistake.

Tiara's gaze turned to Sekar who had been quietly waiting to be questioned as well.

"Sekar, if Mahesa asks permission to borrow the picture of Sekar. Will Sekar allow it?" tiara asked with a smile.

Hearing Tiara's question, Sekar was enthusiastic and sparkled his clear eyes.

"Yes Sekar will allow it, Aunt. But, Sekar wants to finish the picture first," Sekar replied to Tiara's smile as well.

"Good boy," said Tiara as she gently stroked Sekar's hair.

Tiara looked back at Mahesa full of warmth. He is very careful in acting out of fear of misunderstandings.

"Dear Mahesa, do you know Mahesa's fault?" tiara asked softly and looked into her eyes affectionately.

"Mahes snatched the picture of Sekar, Auntie," Mahesa replied implying regret.

"Then, what should Mahes do?" tiara asked again in a spoiled voice.

"Secret apologies" Mahesa replied uninspiredly.

"Smart kid. Yes already. Do it," said Tiara smiling happily because this is the first time to interact directly with the Rama family, in addition to Bu Ina.

"Yes, Mahes. Thank you," said Sekar smilingly receiving his unfinished picture colored.

"How about we draw together?" cetus Sekar suddenly got a brilliant idea.

"Can. Aunt Tiara's coming too?" get Mahesa back excited.

"Sekar, Mahes, Aunt Tiara just arrived from Surabaya. So let Aunt rest first huh. Aunt tired. Later play again after Tiara rested," interrupted Bu Ina meekly.

"Yaaaah," said his two grandchildren compact disappointed.

"Let's play again. Now, Mahes and Sekar want to help Oma set up Om Rama's birthday party?" asked Bu Ina with a big smile.

"Maauuu! Go, Oma!" say Sekar and Mahesa compact again while holding the hand of Bu Ina on the left right.

Tiara was very surprised by the news she received. Fortunately, he was able to hide his shocked expression so that there was no look in Bu Ina's eyes. Yes how not strange, the wife to not know her husband's birthday. Of course it's outrageous.

"Let Tiara help you too, Ma," Tiara bargained while standing.

"No, Honey. You just take a break. Accompany Rama. Perhaps, after you, Rama can be more excited to welcome the birthday he always forgets. Probably intentionally forgetting. After all there are Risa, Rio, Kartika, Dimas, Bi Siti, Pak Rahmat, and three grandchildren Mama who have helped," said Bu Ina sincerely and pleaded.

"Yes, it's like that. Tiara said goodbye to the room yes, Ma," said Tiara as she slightly bowed and lowered her head.

"Yes, dear," said Bu Ina as she followed the attraction of her two very excited grandchildren.

Tiara returned to the room with agitated steps. His eyes stared at the road ahead but his mind was everywhere. She did not know what to give her husband's birthday very suddenly. She was also filled with regret for not paying attention to such important things about her husband.

...****************...

Arriving at the room, Tiara closed the door limply. Rama who was sitting relaxed while playing mobile phone was confused to see his wife who looked not passionate like losing the light of life. His body was intact but his eyes were empty whether he was staring at what.

"Ra, what's wrong with you?" rama put his phone on the table.

Tiara did not say this because he did not listen to the words of Rama. He walked like a dazed man and sat on a bed of sculpting.

Rama was very worried to see the condition of his wife who was like a lot of burden of mind. Soon he went up and approached Tiara to make sure of his condition. Rama knelt in front of Tiara while looking into her eyes.

"Tiara, what's wrong?" rama asked finally returning Tiara's consciousness.

Tiara was aghast as she saw Rama already kneeling before her. He was not aware of the arrival of Rama. In fact, he was confused how it could have been in Rama's room.

"Tiara, respond! Don't worry," urged Rama as he grabbed both Tiara's hands and kissed them in turn.

"Why didn't you say it was my birthday?" tiara asked with a flat face still showing concern.

"not important. After all, every day we also get older," answered Rama lightly.

"But it's important to me. I'm sorry I didn't know about that, Bang? So, I'm not ready to give anything to you, brother," regretted Tiara lowered her head not daring to look at her husband.

"Hey, Tiara. Dear wife. Listen carefully. Enough of you. You are the most beautiful gift for me. I don't need another gift" Rama said, tightening his hand to Tiara.

"I just need this" he continued, pointing at Tiara's chest with an index finger that almost touched one of the sources of his children's lives.

Tiara was almost baper, suddenly immediately bought because it was split was romantic in his eyes. He immediately removed his hand from Rama's grasp and crossed both hands in the chest.

"Dragon!" exclaim Tiara beware.
