Because no longer feeling the thirst engulfing her esophagus, Erika prefers to continue her sleep. But not in his bedroom, but in his son's room, Ria.
The time is 05:45 in the morning. Erika woke up at 4 this morning. After performing the morning prayers Erika immediately completed her homework one by one, starting from cleaning the house, tidying up all Ria's toys, washing dirty clothes, and other work.
Erika noticed the sofa of the place, Arka slept last night. The sofa seemed empty, there was no more Arka there, even the blanket that Erika used to cover Arka was no longer there.
"Maybe he's resting in the room. I better get breakfast ready soon."
Erika immediately continued her activities. Feeling that it was almost morning, Erika put her hands on her chin thinking about what cooking is right for her to cook.
"Because it's morning I better cook fried rice. That's it, faster and simpler."
In the middle of cooking, Ria who had woken up from her sleep immediately came down from the top of her room but was still in a state of eyes that were still cute.
"Mama.." call Ria slowly.
Hearing a familiar voice in her ears, Erika shrank the stove and turned to look at the little boy with a sweet smile.
"What's up, honey? I woke up early. Ria need anything?"
"Ngga really, Ma, Ria, wake up. You see, Ria, it was a dream, Mama, sleeping together, Ria."
Erika smiled at Ria's explanation, then rubbed her hair, Ria gently.
"Who said dream? Ria, don't dream, Mama, Semalem is sleeping in the room, Ria, honey."
"Seriously, Ma?"
Ria's eyes that were originally my eyes were now immediately wide open looking at Erika with sparkling eyes.
"Yes, honey, Mama, seriously," said Erika softly.
"Now, Ria, sit down at the dinner table wait, Mama, ready to cook. Soon her breakfast is ready," continued Erika again.
"OK, Mama," Ria replied directly following her mama's orders.
It didn't take long, Ria, to wait. Within 15 minutes the fried rice cooked by Erika was ready.
"Emmm... The smell is very fragrant, Ria, so do not wait to eat," said Ria with a smile.
"Better, Ria, call, Papa Arka was there. We have breakfast together, Mama also wants to make a drink first.
"Ready, Mama.
Ria immediately went up to the top of Erika and Arka's room. Because the door of the room is not in the key, Ria can easily enter the room.
Upon arriving inside, Ria, sees Arka still rolling in her blanket. Arka sleeps so well, that when Ria mentoel-toel cheeks Arka never wake up from his sleep or disturbed.
"Papa Arka sleeps very soundly, how to wake her up." Ria muttered to herself.
"Aw... Ria knows."
Ria immediately climbed onto Arka's bed while chuckling.
"Papa Arka, get up.." cried Ria.
Ria shouted so loudly that it sounded all the way to the kitchen. Arka who was still lying on her mattress only slightly opened her eyes to look at Ria with a faint look.
"Ria, what's up, honey?"
Erika who was shocked by Ria's cry directly entered the room with a panicked face.
"That's okay, Ma. Ria was about to wake up, Papa, just not working in a subtle way. So, Ria, yell. But, Papa, don't get up and wake up too, just wake up for a while already sleeping again."
Erika who heard the explanation, Ria, instantly drew closer to the bed. Erika watched Arka so intensely so closely.
"Couldn't you? Though, Ria, her screams are very strong. I'm just up to a whimper, how can you, Arka, not bother?" Erika monologues herself slowly.
"Ria, now, Ria, breakfast first yes. Later, Mama with Papa, then yes, dear."
"Okay, Mama."
After Ria came out of the room, Erika immediately sat down beside Arka. Erika turned Arka's body towards her, seeing Arka's sweaty face made Erika panic instead of flustered.
"Darling, you got nothing?" erika asked as she placed her hand on Arka's forehead.
"Astaghfirullah, you're hot, honey. Carcass... Carcass... Wake, honey...." Erika shook the body slowly.
"Enggh... Dear.. Are you awake? You're not angry anymore, are you?"
Arka was about to wake up from her sleep but could not because her body was less fit.
"Udah, no need to wake up. Now you rest, your body is hot." panic Erika.
"I have nothing," said Arka in a weak tone.
"Well, now you rest. I'm gonna grab your breakfast first, not anywhere."
"No need, Er, I can do it myself. Take it easy, I'm fine."
"Hot body gini you said nothing? Anyway now you're following me, you take a break I take your breakfast first."
"No need, Er, the important thing is now you're sorry. If you're sorry, that's enough. I'll heal fast." Arka smiled sweetly with her pale face.
"Now you rest follow my command. If you argue I won't forgive you" threatened Erika.
"Well, if that's what you want. I'll rest." resigned Arka.
"Smart husband." Arka smiled at Erika's words.
Quickly, Erika hurriedly took food and also drinks for the Arka breakfast.
Ria who did not understand what her mother was doing could only fall silent and look at Erika strangely.
"Mama, why? How in such a hurry to look at it?"
"Oh, emm... That, Papa, you Arka is sick again. So, Mama, want this anterin for him. Mama, also want, Papa, you rest so that his body is more fit."
"Papa, sick, Ria come upstairs, Ma. Want to see, Papa, just help, Papa, where you know, Papa needs something," said Ria plain.
Erika who heard that was so moved. The smallest child, Ria, already understood wanting to help her parents who were sick.
Erika smiled as she stroked Ria's hair slowly.
"Mama is proud of the same, Ria, still a child there is an initiative to help. Ria have breakfast first yes, dear, Mama can still help, Papa yourself. Later if, Mama, need help, Ria, definitely, Mama, please know yes. Mama, just ask for breakfast, Ria, wash the dishes yourself. Mama, go upstairs, baby."
"Okay, Mama, done."
"Smart kid."
Erika immediately went up to the top of the room, after entering Erika immediately placed a tray on a small table beside the bed.
"Darling... Get up, have breakfast."
"Engh.... Yes," replied Arka slowly while trying to sit on her mattress slowly.
"Can, Honey?"
"It can be, Er."
Slowly Arka tried to sit down. After being able to sit up straight, Erika immediately fed Arka with the fried rice breakfast she had made earlier.
When the fried rice that is given is almost finished in eating Arka. Arka suddenly approached her face near Erika.
Due to the shock Erika could only fall silent in her place. Just now Arka was about to put her lips on Erika's lips without guessing Ria entered without asking.
"Mama.... Papa's..."
