Gavin's ban did not make Aska cancel his departure. This is a task he has to carry. Proving to everyone he can. He did not want to disappoint his father or family.
"Don't go, Uncle. Don't go!" That word again was spoken by Gavin. However, Aska simply shook her head slowly.
"Uncle has to go, Mas." The boy ran away from Aska and made Aksa chase after him.
"Mas" call Aksa.
"Mas wants to go home." The boy sat on the steps of the porch of the grandfather's house. His voice sounded so sad.
Gavin Aksa's wish followed, The boy still remained silent. Aksa and Riana continued to talk. However, the boy's mouth was as if it was tightly closed.
"Mas" called the mother when they had room. Riana rubbed Gavin's hair gently. The boy knew what his mother was going to talk about.
"Mas is going to sleep, Mom. Good nights. Riana looked towards Aksa who was also in the son's room.
Aksa only spoke through the look in his eyes. Asking his wife to get out of Gavin's room.
"How's this, Dad?" riana asked as she walked out of Gabin's room. Aksa let out a rough breath.
"Weight to the Empin. Aska is a second father to him. Plus they're both very close. So, let Empin alone first. We can't force him to accept."
What her husband said was true. It was difficult for his son to accept the decision from his grandfather. He also knows how close Gavin is to the real Aska.
In the room that left only a dim light, a boy sat on the edge of the bed. His head is deep. Her tears started to drip.
"Why should Uncle go?" The boy asked himself.
"Uncle still has to go, Mas. It cannot be delayed or cancelled. Uncle also wants to be like your Daddy and Pipo. Uncle also wants you to be Sultan's son."
Gavin remembered what his uncle had said. He shook his head slowly. He didn't want Aska to leave. He still wants to play with the quartet. Berating Ahlam, binding Arfan and also judging Abdalla who is always silent.
"Who's the same gas here, Uncle? I'm just two of you same Adek." The boy was crying. How he didn't want to part with his four cousins. The presence of the quartet brought its own atmosphere to Gavin.
.
In the morning, Riana had already entered Gavin's room. His son had woken up, but was still in his pajamas last night. He's usually good looking at this hour.
"Mas, why haven't you taken a shower? We're going to the airport. Go drop uncle." Gavin.
"Mas won't come." Riana was surprised by what she heard.
"Why?" The boy again closed his mouth. Riana was forced to nod when Gavin did not open the suaea. He cannot force.
Get downstairs where the husband is already with Ghea at the dinner table.
"Which one?" ask Aksara.
"He hasn't had a shower yet." Aksa was surprised to hear the report from his wife. "He also does not want to go with Brother Aska," he continued.
A rough breath came out of Aska's mouth. He walked up from the dining table to his first son in the room
"Mas," call Aksara.
His son looked at him with a very sad face. Aksa approached Gavin and sat right beside him.
"Mandi, yes. We're taking Uncle to the airport." Gavin nodded.
"Why?" Aksa asked very gently.
"Mas doesn't want to see Uncle. I don't want to see Anteu and Mas-"
Aksa hugged her son's body. Gavin's cry broke, his hands tightly hugging his father's waist. Gavin will never be able to express what he is feeling to others. Only his father was the place to complain.
"Pipo heart," said Gavin, the burden of the sound vibrating. Aksa was smiling. He gently rubbed the back of the first son.
"Pipo is not. Pipo just ran a mandate that great-grandfather gave before great-grandfather died." Aksa began to give an explanation. He believes his son can understand.
"See Daddy!" her word.
Gavin loosened his arms and looked towards the father. The smile full of warmth that his father gave.
"When Mas grows up, surely Mas is experiencing what Uncle is facing now," he explained. "Daddy will have Mas study abroad, leaving behind Mommy, Daddy and Adek. What orders will Daddy refuse?" The boy thought for a moment. Before long, he shook his head in response.
"Can't refuse the parents' orders" he added.
"Why?"
"Daddy told Mas to study abroad. So, I can't refuse." The boy said so weakly. "When parents tell in the case of kindness, any child should not rebel."
The message that Aksa always gives to Gavin. Aksa didn't force his son to become an adult prematurely, no. He just wants his son to understand the reality.
"If you follow, my. When Pipo told Uncle to go to Singapore to take care of his great-grandfather's company. Does Uncle have to be rejected?" Again the boy nodded.
"But why do we have to go all out? If Uncle, Anteu and the quamplet leave they will rarely come here." The boy sniffled again.
"If, Daddy has to take care of a company that's been in Australia for four years. Would Mommy want Daddy to leave? Would you like Daddy to leave? Does Adek also want to be left by Daddy?" The boy was stirring again.
"So-"
"If Daddy goes away for a long time, Mommy, Mas and Adek should come along" he replied. Aksa rubbed the son's hair. How genius is that child.
"That's what Anteu did. Anteu does not want to split long with Uncle. The quartet also would not want to be left by his father for long. Therefore, they all went and stayed for the next four years."
"There are no friends" he lamented.
"Sister Rangga is there. I can play with Rangga. Mas can also visit the quartet to Singapore when Daddy is off."
However, the child's face was still grim. His heart was hard to part with his uncle. His heart could not be far from his four bustling cousins.
"We have to take Uncle. Uncle and Anteu must be sad if not delivered Mas. He was still the first child for Uncle. In fact, when Mas was in Mommy's stomach, Uncle was the one who always spoiled Mas because at that time Daddy was on duty in Aussie. So, I can't play Uncle."
The boy was weighing. Finally he nodded and made Aksa smile widely.
"Now I take a shower, yes. Daddy and Mommy wait for Mas under." The boy nodded.
Riana was still waiting for her husband to go downstairs. When Riana's step if heard immediately approached Aksa.
"How's it?"
"You." There was relief in Riana's heart.
Along the way, Gavin remained silent. His attitude was not shown. As if he was still harboring deep sadness. The car turned into the courtyard of Giondra's mansion. The luxury car that was carried by Gio family was already parked in the courtyard.
"Empins!" Aska ran towards the nephew. He hugged Gavin's body. However, there was no reply from the boy.
Aska also loosened her embrace. He stared at Gavin. "Uncle promise, Uncle will often come here nengokin Empin and Adek. Keep buying a lot of rolled eggs."
"Tomorrow!" Gavin's cry broke. All the family members felt how close Gavin and Aska were to the two men of different ages as if it was hard to leave each other.
