Jacks

Mama

"What?" Jack rolled his eyes lazily before saying, "I speak English not speak Indonesian"

"Hahaha, yes Uncle English means" Sammy corrected without turning his head.

A god can only smile awkwardly when he doesn't know what to do.

"That's your friend told you to sit down Jack dong" Sammy chirped.

"Uncle, I want to introduce him to Uncle" said Jack as he pulled the Gods to sit face to face with Sammy.

"Oh?" Sammy looked at the God sitting next to his bangs, "Is he your best friend?"

Jack shook his head before saying, "He's Uncle's new crush"

Sammy choked on the food she ate after hearing that. The god quickly gave Sammy the white water that was nearby.

Sammy drank the water before staring at Jack. "Did your father finally marry again?"

Jack raised his eyebrows before explaining, "God became an adopted son papa now not papa married again. Papa said he would never marry again"

"Haish the boy, I thought he was getting married again" Sammy said with a deep sigh.

Jack chuckled at hearing that while the Gods only smiled awkwardly.

The god was actually surprised when he saw Sammy because Sammy's stature was not like most people who wanted to get old.

Sammy even still looks handsome and sweet because of the thin mustache that makes people not tired of seeing it.

"If your father wants to remarry, will you bless him Jack?" Sammy asked as he pointed at Jack with a spoon.

"Originally happy" Jack said with a smile.

Sammy chuckled at his voice's exact answer as he had guessed, "If you"

Sammy turned his gaze to the surprised God. "You don't have any motive for this family?" Sammy asked suspiciously.

"No-no om-eh Uncle I mean!" God answered quickly.

Jack looked at Sammy who was still staring at the God suspiciously.

"Uncle, this God has no parents and I also want to have a brother other than the Continent" explained Jack to calm Sammy.

Sammy who heard that instantly exhaled his long breath. "Talking about the Continent, he went with his mother to America"

"America? What's your aunt going to America?" Jack asked while raising his eyebrows.

Sammy's face immediately turned bad when he heard the term 'auntie'. A name that Sammy will never forget.

"Auntie!". The soft voice of Keysha.

Sammy closed his eyes, trying to forget his bad memory.

Although Sammy's mother is the younger sister of Keysha's mother but still Keysha's mother applies to call Sammy's mother as an aunt.

"They just want to walk there" Sammy slowly opened his eyes and smiled.

Jack understood.

"For brothers... Jack, you have a brother other than the Continent. There are many" Sammy explained.

Jack looked surprised to hear that, as well as the slightly happy God when he found out he had many more brothers.

"really?! Who is Uncle?! Where are they all?!" Ask Jack girang.

Sammy smiled as he shook his head slowly, "Later you will also know for yourself"

"Uncle..." Now it was the turn of the God who voiced out of disappointment followed by Jack.

Sammy shook his head slowly at their behavior, "Obviously Uncle has many other nieces and Uncle has no problem having one more niece"

"What age are they the biggest then?" Jack asked who had calmed himself down.

"Eum..." Sammy stroked his chin, "You and Ben are only one year adrift! Aye! Their greatest age was fourteen years"

Sammy nodded, "They are two sets of twins. There are others but they live in England"

"really?! Twins male or female?!" Jack could not hold back his enthusiasm anymore.

"Two men, two women and the other you'll know for yourself" Sammy replied.

Jack and God looked at each other before smiling so widely that Sammy who saw him could only smile thinly.

Sammy put down the spoon he held before standing up.

"Come, you're going with Uncle"

"Where's Uncle?" Jack was confused.

"To somewhere"

Jack gently stroked the tombstone that was in front of him, his tears had already fallen from earlier.

"Mama..." Jack muttered softly.

Sammy sighed, "He's my brother. She died giving birth to you"

The god looked at Sammy who was observing them with his chest crossed.

"Didn't anyone make a pilgrimage to mama's grave to the point that this weed grew?" Jack asked, looking at Sammy.

Sammy shrugged his shoulders. "It looks like it's the first"

"Did papa never come here?"

"Most likely not. But Uncle believes that your papa paid someone to look after your mama's grave"

"Why don't you visit my mom's grave? Why does my dad not care about my mom? And why won't you tell me about my mom, Uncle?"

Jack asked me questions that always filled his head.

"Jack" Sammy took a deep breath. "Jack yeah..." Sammy smiled as he repeated the name again.

"The name 'Jack' is a gift from Uncle in the hope that you continue to be strong and can be a filial son for your father"

The god who heard that couldn't help but comment, "Then why isn't his name so rigid?"

"What was the first thing you thought of when you heard Jack's name?" Sammy asked as he looked at the thinking God.

"Ep... His name is like describing a bad guy" answered the honest God.

"Just right! Uncle does expect you to be a bad boy but that has limits. You knew? Uncle used to argue with your papa because of the name. In the end your aunt mediated and came to Jack Nathan's name"

Sammy smiled before continuing, "Jack, who Uncle knew that bad boys wouldn't cry. That bad boy will be strong. And if the bad boy must be trying to toughen up so as not to look weak"

"Bad boys must be feared and Uncle hopes that with fear people will also be afraid of people to hurt your father" explained Sammy.

The god held his breath as well as Jack who could not believe what hope was behind his name.

"Your father was guilty but he raised you lovingly as atonement for his guilt. Of course the biggest reason is because he loves you so much"

Sammy smiled, "Jack, you are the spirit of his life. You're your father's biggest reason for living longer"

"After your father lost precious people in his life, God gave you in return"

Jack opened his voice, "Uncle, this has nothing to do with my question earlier"

Sammy chuckled, "May Uncle's first wish come true when you hear this fact"

Sammy took a deep breath before saying,

"Your father and your mother were not a couple. You are their child outside of marriage"
