Little Monster

Positive or Negative?

It's almost 9 pm Mas Indra has not come home yet. My message from earlier has not been answered. Could it be that Mas Indra is driving, so he does not see the chat on his HP? It is impossible to run out of battery because it can charge the battery in the car. This little monster from earlier also did not go to sleep. Even though his body was already hugged, his eyes were still occasionally open. It seems like he's not sleepy yet.

"*What are you sleeping for?"

"You sleep ...."

"Jaudah cepetan rem .. I count to three, if not sleeping, go home aja dehh yes one .. dua* ...."

"Yes, I want to sleep."

Every time I use my flagship weapon, Lea goes straight to what I say. In less than two minutes, he was asleep.

Sometimes I feel confused, why this boy does not want to go home to his mother while here, I, Sasa Micin, this fierce Mom must often irritate him. Not to mention I always told him to clean up the toys and always bring it to flush after peeing or dispose of garbage like a tissue that Lea had used in place.

I looked at that innocent face, I wiped his hair and head and I rubbed his face repeatedly. Just like Mas Indra used to do to me every night before going to bed.

Before leaving the room, I tidied up the blanket that covered the child's body. Don't let him get cold.

I do have a habit of preparing items that will be worn tomorrow morning the night before. Lea's uniform, bags, shoes and socks I've been preparing since night. So even if there is a late wake-up drama like Monday, everything does not need to be prepared again in the morning.

*tang-ting-tung-ting-tang-ting-tung ....

I see on my HP screen Indra wants to do a 'video call', I see',

"*Hun .. 'so sorry' (excuse me) the meeting just got so close .. I just held HP, 'are you awake' (have you not slept yet)?"

"Why so long, Hun ... I can't sleep alone, you know that (How long, Hun ...."

"I'm on my way home, Hun ... See, I'm with Ferry here (I'm on my way home, Hun ... Look at me same Ferry)."

"Hi, Sasa* .." hello Ferry in video call.

"*Halo Ferry ... Uh, Mas, want fried donk .. want fried yams that crisps ...."

"Yes later if you walk see someone selling yaa ...."

"It has to be yes."

"When you can't find out?"

"Hhaaa .. again want to eat ituu ...."

"You crave, honey?"

"Huh ...?? I'm usually also like Mas, if you want to eat what you ask to buyin."

"If there is none, pesen aja, Hun .. I want to cepet until home .. kangen you. I'll anterin Ferry for a minute."

"Yaudah deh .. I pesen aja rather than tar can not."

"Okay, Honey ... I love you .. mwahh ...."

"Love youuu* ...."

Want to eat fried yams, fried tofu, tempe mendoan, bakwan, risol and more. But it's good to buy directly freshly lifted from the pool of cooking oil so .. hmmm .. good ....

I waited for Mas Indra to arrive home while eating the fried sweet potato criuk that I wanted.

Glad ... now want to eat anything can be ordered via mobile phone and delivered directly to the house. I don't need to go out looking for food myself. With the advancement and development of technology, hopefully life will become easier for everyone.

Even today shopping for various products can be done with HP and from home. Shopping in the online marketplace application in addition to being able to choose various needs without having to go to the store because everything will be delivered to the house, we can also choose the cheapest price from several online stores for the same item. No need to be tired because everything can be done with a small object called a smartphone. Various payments can also be made online, maybe in the future, the paper money will no longer apply.

"Hi, Hun .. kangeenn ..." Mas Indra walked into the house and immediately hugged me tightly.

"*Miss you too (Your kangen too) .. haiishhh .. you smell acemm ... shower first sanaa ...."

"Ntar ahh .. I miss you ...."

"Yes, honey, but it's better if you take a shower first. Cepetan gihh shower first let more handsome and fragrant* ...."

I waited on the bed while Mas Indra was taking a bath. I saw a message coming in from my best friend, Fani, which contained :

[*Cin ... ponakan I came tomorrow not the day after tomorrow, hahahaa ..].

[Yaudah gakpapa, Fan ... swim it in the afternoon right? I also want to pick up Maya after Lea's school.]

[Okay deh, Cin .. tomorrow afternoon will be yahh ..].

[Iyee ..].

[Not sleeping you, tumben? usually at this hour your HP is already koid, I just got a reply tomorrow afternoon.]

[I just got home .. I also can't sleep alone.]

[Hiliihh .. spoiled, lu .. Micin base ...]

[You're not the same? You spoiled your same husband, yyeekk!]

[Yes, yes .. ya gakpapa anyway, Cin .. spoiled same husband himself is important .. not husband people. Ahhaha.]

[Manja is the same husband of people, want to be hit by his legal wife? wkwkwkwkk]

[Eh, Sa ... I have a new hoot about Nadia, you've been horrified yet the story?]

[Not ... eh, how, how?? donkk*.] My reply was enthusiastic.

"What's the same, Hun?" Mas Indra who just came out of the bathroom approached me.

"Fani, Mas .." I answered honestly.

"*Hand first, Hun ... continue tomorrow yes .. now is the time for us to be alone ...."

"Yes, Mas .. I reply first last yahh ...."

[Fan, tomorrow yee the story ... Indra is here.]

[Ho'oh, Cin ... met sleep yes .. often you both make baby so. Ahhaha.]

[Yeah again speeding .. these few days already how many times have I been. wakakkaa.]

[Jiaahh .. parahh, lu, kipaasss .. good night (good night), Fan.]

[Good night (Good sleep), Micin*.]

I turned off the HP and put it out of my reach.

"Today, what's the bad Lea, Hun?" Mas Indra started our 'pillow talk' question.

"*No, Mas .. was just afraid to go to the toilet pee itself, he said there was a fear of ghosts."

"Ohya?"

"Iyupz .. feared by her mother as she was ...."

"You said there were no ghosts."

"Udah donk ...."

"Pinter my wife .. mwahh ...."

"Wohoo ... clear ... who was her husband?"

"Ohya, honey, next Wednesday I should have a working meeting to Singapore, but because of the status of the 'corona virus' warning there has touched the orange line, so it was canceled and moved to Bali. You're coming with me, huh, Hun .. Are we staying over there for a few nights?"

"What about you, Mas?"

"If her grandmother had come, she would have come."

"Didn't it come this week*?" manya curious.

"*It looks like yes. Yaudah sleep yukk .. sorry yes, Hun ... you were waiting for me earlier, mwahh ...."

"Yes no papa, Mas .. I also can not sleep alone, hahahha ...."

"It's kind of like my pretentious and ngunciin on the outside, you're yaa .. mwahh .. good night, my dear ... I love you."

"Night, Mass ... I love you*."

• 13 Days of

Recalling what Fani said last night, this morning while Mas Indra was away exercising and Lea had not woken up yet, I rushed to the bathroom and did a urine test. Today is already 3 days late from my mens schedule every month. I was diligent in marking the date when I came to the moon so that I knew when the guest was about to come.

I deg-degan waiting for the test result ... Positive or Negative?

Actually the same as Fani, I also routinely check if it is more than three days late from the guest schedule.

And it turns out the result ....

There is no line two.

Feelings quite sad and frustrated indeed often I feel when I see the results, so sometimes I do not check again.

I whispered to myself that,

"This is not 'time', Sa .. meaning that you must often make nih .. xixixi," comfort me in the heart.

I woke Lea up and made her favorite chocolate bun. I told her that this afternoon we were going to pick up Maya and would swim this afternoon with Fani's niece as well, Dinda. I warned Lea not to be naughty with Maya anymore. Because if that happens, not only will I not take off swimming, I will also take Lea home to her Mama's house.

"*I don't want to be naughty anymore, Momi ...."

"Yes ... child pinter .. If Lea gets naughty again, what will it be?"

"Go home*," the boy replied with a smile.

"*Emang Lea wants to go home?"

"No ...."

"Why?"

"I love it here with Papa and Momi .. same Maya."

"Okay, but can't be naughty anymore either .. 'promise' (promise*)?" I pointed my little finger at him and asked him to promise that the little monster would not be naughty anymore.

"The promotion!" Leah also extended her little finger to me.

"Promise of what? (What agreement?)" Mas Indra came out of the room and approached us.

"It's a secret! (It's secret!)" replied joking.

"*Yes, Papa .. it's a secret ... (Yes, papa. it's a secret) hihihi."

"Tell me ... tell me .. (tell me*) ..." Mas Indra attacked me and Lea by tickling the stomachs of both of us.

"No ... (No) .." I replied.

"We are going to swim this afternoon (We're going swimming this afternoon)." Lea finally gave up and leaked our conversation earlier because it continued to be attacked with tickling by her Papa.

I saw the boy was so cheerful and a look of happiness on the look on his face hearing Maya was coming here and we were going to swim with Dinda this afternoon.

That happy and cheerful face I had never seen before. Before the little monster stayed here for a few days, every weekend and we went to the mall and the streets, his face was always pouting, whiny, squealing, irritable and always whining to buy toys that if we do not participate, we always ask, he would cry and make Mas Indra feel more guilty and then buy anything Lea wanted as long as she did not cry anymore.

Can a few days living here change that fast?

Am I being too hard on him?

Am I being too excessive and cruel to my stepdaughter?

Is what I did right?

Those questions popped into my brain as Mas Indra and I drove Lea to her school.

But at least with Lea changing now, my 'mood' is getting better too, I'm no longer bete' and get upset every time I see that little monster figure before me.

Maybe slowly I'm getting used to Lea's presence and maybe I can accept her being in our midst, even though I don't really want that.
