Ara was very happy, when she found out that her sister, who was still in the womb, was a girl. Just like he wanted. Has a sister and not a boy, just as her father Abhimanyu wanted her to.
"Hore... Ara's sister chick!"
Ara screamed happily, because she finally had a little sister, who she could play with and she dandy later.
"I'm sorry, Mas. Not the same as what Abi wanted," Anjani said with a faint smile. She felt bad, because the sex of her son, not the same as her husband wanted.
"It's okay, honey. A girl or a boy, it's the same. Look at Ara! He's very happy. It made me feel so happy" Abhimanyu replied, smilingly looking at his son, Ara.
At this time, the three of them, were in a mother and child clinic, to check on Anjani's content.
Ara forced to come along, because in addition to being alone at home, the clinic was also not too far from their home.
"Thank you Mas" said Anjani, holding her husband's hand.
Now, they walked out of the clinic to return home.
Ara chattered throughout their journey. While Abhimanyu, just smile, if there are words of his son in a funny taste.
Anjani knew, if there was a bit of disappointment that her husband was feeling. Not without reason, if Abhimanyu felt disappointed. It is humane, if parents, want a different gender for their second child, because they feel they already have the first.
But, perhaps God still asks them, especially Abhimanyu, to remain patient and grateful with all the gifts given by God.
Anjani hoped that her husband would not feel prolonged disappointment.
"Mother. Ara wants to buy it dong!"
Ara who was walking in front, pointed at a long wagon, which was by the side of the road, because it was indeed the base there, which was leading to the alley of their house. The cart, selling a variety of food from the middle east, such as kebabs and others as well.
Abhimanyu and Anjani, who were walking behind Ara, came to a stop and headed for the wagon.
Ara asked her father and her mother to buy her a kebab.
"I want a big Turkish kebab. But it's not spicy, Om" said Ara, ordering at the seller.
"Yes Neng" replied the kebab seller, confirming Ara's order.
"My name is Ara, not Neng Om!"
Ara justifies the seller's call for him. And this made the seller smile broadly, as it felt funny at the protests he had heard from a child.
"Hahaha. I'm sorry, sir. He does not know, if the call neng is for girls," said Abhut Abhimanyu, who laughed loosely at the behavior of his son who was protesting because he felt wrong when called by the kebab seller.
The kebab seller just nodded in understanding. He was used to the buyers who came with various types of behavior.
Finally, Abhimanyu explained to his son, Ara, about the various calls for girls that are often used in society in general.
Ara heard that explanation from her father seriously. Moreover, he had also ordered a large kebab to take home. He was very excited to be able to enjoy the kebab later at home.
"Mother not getting the message?" abhimanyu asked, after he finished giving an explanation to Ara.
"Yes, I ordered it. But not spicy, the same for mas Abi as well. Anjani also ordered kebabs for mom and dad. We'll go there first, will we?" answered Anjani, who had already ordered four more packs for herself, her husband and her two in-laws.
"Oh yeah, add another one, make a maid aunt in the father's house too."
Anjani ordered another one, to be given to the maid's aunt, who was at her in-laws' house.
While waiting for the kebab order to be completed, Ara went around looking for other food, many of which were sold by the roadside towards the house.
Especially if it is late afternoon or on holiday and the weather is also sunny as it is today. This place is so similar to the afternoon market that foam is used as a culinary tour, for the local community. Lots and lots of choices too.
This makes children happy, because they can get the food they like easily without having to go all the way from their homes.
Parents also do not need to worry, because this place is clean and includes an area that is quite safe for children, because it is not in an area that is too crowded.
*****
At Edi's father's house, it's getting quieter now. This is because there are no more children in the house.
Sekar and Juna, along with their son, are already living in their own home.
So did his son, Abhimanyu. They moved in with their families a few months ago.
Moreover, Nanda has also been with her mother in Taiwan.
So, practically Edi's father's house was deserted, as there was only himself and his wife, Sofie's mother, along with one housekeeper, who accompanied them at home.
"We're playing at Abhimanyu yuk Yah's house!" take Sofie's mother, who is in the living room, with her husband who is reading a sports magazine.
"Why not go alone?" ask Edi's father, answer his wife's request.
Edi's father spoke like that because, usually, without saying goodbye, his wife also often came to the house of his children, Abhimanyu and also Sekar. Because of the location of their homes can still be reached from their own homes.
"And Mom used to be alone. Dad was rare. After all, today Anjani will definitely check the contents of Yah. We accompany Ara at home" Sofie's mother said, giving her husband an excuse.
"Kok I know, if Anjani today check the contents?" edi's father asked, citing suspicions that his wife was spying on the family of his son, Abhimanyu.
"Ara who told Mom, two days ago Well," answered his wife quickly.
"Oh..."
Edi's father, nodding understanding with his wife's answer. But he remained silent, and did not budge to immediately move from his seat.
"Come on Yah!" take Sofie's mom again.
"Eh, now Mom?" asked Edi's father in shock, because he heard his wife's invitation that sounded upset.
"Is Yes. The future of the year!"
Sofie's mother, replied with a frown.
"Hahaha."
Finally, the two of them prepared to go to Abhimanyu's house, with the intention of accompanying his grandson, Ara, while in Anjani and Abhimanyu's residence to go check the womb.
But, when Edi's father was just about to pull out the car from the garage, from the direction of the gate of the house, the family of his son, Abhimanyu, was seen first.
"Lho, that's them coming!"
Edi's father told his wife that Abhimanyu and Anjani had come with their son, Ara.
"Where's Yah?" ask Sofie's mother, from the direction in the house.
And sure enough, when he came out of the house, Ara seemed to walk with small jumps, into the yard, followed by her father and her mother from behind.
The two of them, Edi's father and Sofie's mother, smile at the arrival of their son and daughter-in-law, along with their granddaughter, Ara.
