Little Monster

Swim

On the way home after driving Lea to school, I asked Mas Indra to stop the car and get out to eat chicken porridge on the side of the road.

"Sir, two servings well eat here," I asked the father of the chicken porridge seller.

"Good, Brother. Wear everything? crackers, chives, nuts and stuff?" ask the seller to offer.

"*Yes, sir, I want the quail egg satay also well 2 skewers."

"Ready, Brother. Please sit down*."

Mas Indra and I sat on a plastic chair that was provided by Mr. Chicken porridge. This morning I did not make breakfast for Mas Indra, just coffee because I had not eaten chicken porridge for a long time, so I all invited Mas Indra to eat together.

Mas Indra and I enjoyed the chicken porridge we ordered, I did eat it a lot, two skewers of quail eggs containing three seeds per skewer as fast as my lightning greedy.

"Well, you're having breakfast here?" sapa Dimas, one of the staff in Mas Indra's office.

"Hey, Dimas, eat together here," replied Mas Indra kindly.

"Morning, Mom," said Dimas to me.

"Morning, sit down, have you ordered?" I answered while asking

"*Have, Mom."

"Aren't you with Rehan, Dim*?" tanya Mas Indra asks Rehan, Dimas' office friend who is usually always together.

"*Oh .. No, sir, I was here first."

"Jaudah if so, just pack it for Rehan. Honey, pesenin packs one for Rehan."

"Yes, Mas*."

Mas Indra office location is not too far from where we live. On the streets around here are also crowded with food traders such as ketoprak, various fried foods, coffee, chicken soto, meatball chicken noodles, duck rice, chicken porridge, nasi uduk and others.

After ordering and paying the porridgeer, we went home.

"We go home first yes, Dim," said Mas Indra saying goodbye.

"Yes, sir, thank you for breakfast" Dimas replied in thanks.

"*Same-sama."

"Bye, Dim."

"Thank you, Mom."

"Yes, same thing*."

Until home, I cleaned the dirty clothes and put them in the washing machine while Mas Indra was lifting clothes. Ironing clothes became my duty because Mas Indra did not want to. So instead, she was the one cleaning the bathroom today.

I also prepared a Lea and Maya swimsuit complete with towels, change of clothes, shampoo, conditioner and soap 3 in 1 that I usually take if I invite them to swim.

Practically, one bottle can be for three uses.

Not to forget, I also prepare various foods and snacks for children because often, when swimming they will feel hungry.

If not, just in case one of them is hungry.

"*Mas ... I'm not cooking this afternoon. I'm gonna pick up Maya right away after I pick Lea up from school."

"But cooking night, don't you think?"

"If you are yahh."

"Grand*."

After finishing doing homework, Mas Indra said he would go to the office because there were things to be done.

Maybe people think if Mas Indra used to wake up and live a life that is served because he is a leader in his own company.

But the truth is the opposite. Mas Indra used to wake up once in the morning even earlier than me, do worship and exercise run in the morning.

Mas Indra is also a very disciplined person. He appreciates the time he has to do things that are not in vain.

Sometimes Mas Indra also played 'online games' on his computer, but not excessively.

Although he must be tired of working all day in the office, but Mas Indra still willing and happy to do the homework that we had agreed from the beginning decided to live together.

Why not hire a cleaning service or a Household Assistant to clean and take care of the house?

Because we always do this homework together. So when we are still able to cope with everything at the moment, we will still work on it all ourselves.

Maybe later if the time comes, I get pregnant and give birth, then we will hire the service.

At school, I met again with his Grandma Kalila who is also a friend or 'waiting friend' with his mother mbak Dewi aka Grandma Lea.

"Siang, Oma," I said to him.

"*Siang, pick him up with the driver?"

"Oh, no, Oma. I drove myself."

"When's Lea's grandmother coming back here?"

"If not wrong, in this week, Oma."

"Look, Lea seems like a real pity on you, huh?"

"Is that right, Oma?"

"Yes ..Every time he comes home from school and sees you, he must be excited and happy for Oma to notice."

"She was, Oma, when picked up by her Papa, always ran and hugged her Papa as well."

"Yes but if the same Grandma, even pout. Hence Oma so wonder why the same you even nempel so. Because her grandmother told me, Lea doesn't like you. You don't love your husband's son either."

"Oh yeah, Oma?"

"Don't do that, son, pity the boy. Maybe he's happy to be picked up by his mom or dad. Oma never saw her mother Lea pick her up here. Kalila's mother picks her up every day, but she's in the car, after the kids get out, and she's waiting for Oma and Kalila in front of the fence."

"Yes, Oma, thank you for your advice. It just so happened that Lea was indeed staying with us, so it was Sasa who picked up*."

This school is not too big, and like private Kindergarten schools in general, one class only contains about 10 to 12 students with several classes such as Apples, Wine, Oranges, Strawberries, and so on, Avocados and a few more classes for TK A or TK are small.

"Momi!" Leah was the one who stood waiting for her next to Omanya Kalila. I waved my hand at him, the boy looked very cheerful. Hm ... Is it true that Madam Dewi never picked up her son at school? Let alone pick up to school, Lea's book was not returned for 2 weeks Madam Dewi did not care. Let me, the important thing is that I bought a new one and Leah can learn again.

We say goodbye to Oma and Kalila and then get in the car and will immediately pick up Maya at Kak Vera's house.

"Are you happy to meet Maya today? (Are you happy to meet Maya today)?" I asked the boy when we were ready to go.

"Yes, Momi. I like to play with Maya. (Yes, momi I'm happy, I like to play Maya)," Lea replied excitedly.

"*But remember not to be naughty anymore, okay? otherwise, you will? (But remember not to be naughty anymore, okay? If it's naughty again, then you will)?"

"Go's home. (Back)."

"You're not going home right? You will be a good girl right? (You don't want to go home, do you? You're gonna be a good kid, right?"

"Yes, Momi*."

Arriving at Kak Vera's house, we were greeted with lunch that Kak Vera had prepared. We all ate together and took a short break. After I finished washing the dishes and also cleaned the table, the three of us went back to my house and will pick up Dinda and Fani to go to the water playground this afternoon.

"Lea, salim used to be the same Aunt Vera, hug the same kiss too yaa," I asked my stepson.

"*Lea goes home first Aunt Vera ...."

"Yes, honey, Lea be careful, Maya also can not be naughty you know, do not grab toys. If Maya is naughty and does not obey Aunt Sasa, then Mama will invite Maya not to play again*," threatened Kak Vera to her son.

"Maya don't want to be naughty, Ma," javaab Maya obediently.

"Yaudah brother, we go home first."

I salim too, hugging and kissing my sister. It has been used by Mother since childhood, we must love and respect each other wherever we are.

*tut .. tutt ... tutt ....

I tried to call Fani to make sure she was ready to leave. My best friend sometimes likes not to be on time. Agreements at 3 pm means that 3 o'clock must already be on site. But often he is still on the road or in the shower. Just like me, hehehe. Typical habits of some Indonesians are very.

"Hello, yes, Cin," replied Fani across the street.

"*Are you ready yet?"

"Udah from earlier, your sneak picked me up."

"Tumben, you're usually the late."

"There are children, we have to give examples to those who are real, so they don't follow our habits that are not on time, hahaha."

"Eh, really you too, Fan. I'm here, you wait ahead, yee."

"Ready beb*."

Lea and Maya have never met Dinda before. Dinda was already in 1st grade of Elementary School, so among the three of them, Lea was the youngest. I asked Maya and Lea to call Dinda 'Kak Dinda'.

We headed straight to the water play area. After paying the entrance fee and changing into a swimsuit, the children were very happy and immediately ran to throw themselves into the pool to swim and play. Fani and I waited for them by sitting in a chair close to the pool.

I was very curious about what gossip Fani would tell me about Nadia, one of our classmates at the college who had not met for a long time. Our conversation continues to change from time to time, we used to often discuss handsome men and courtship, now after marriage, not only about our lives, respectively, but also discuss the lives of others alias gossip and berghibah ria.

"Fani, a little story to me that late," I asked Fani who had just sat down.

"*Oh, the Nadia?"

"Yo'i, did kenape take him?"

"Don't be surprised you ...."

"Yee, the fan, haven't told you yet."

"Nadia was run over by the same legitimate wife of her boyfriend. Apesnya, she is also pregnant now*," Fani cerocos directly to the point.

"*What?! is Nadia dating a guy? how many months pregnant? crazy kid huh?"

"Yes that way, Nadia is the same story Angel, continues the same Angel in the dismantled group WA. You know, Sa, rarely read info from the group so you 'couple' the same latest hibahan."

"Gue busy, wkwkwkwk, anyways crazy chat until hundreds of it. I was tired of it. If I want to read a group chat tonight, Mas Indra can't play HP mulu."

"You're busy making the grandiose baby candidates that exist."

"Hahaha your kayak, huu ... Fan."

"Have you checked this month?"

"Udah, not yet line two, hiks."

"I am too, Sa. Up to twice I test using two different brands of tespack, the results are still the same. Why do we who already want to have but not in love with God, while those who do not want even cepet dapet."

"Gakpapa, Fan, it's not 'time' yet for us. When the time comes, it will be too bad. Just trust me."

"Sad I am, Cin,"

"Don't that ahh, if you want to be sad, I'm the same. But how else is wong not 'time'."

"Mommy ...."

"Tante*.." The voices of the children called us and they invited us to play water together.

Hmm ... what's wrong with having fun by joining the kids and playing water together?

Fani and I agreed to their request. We play water, swim, play slides and other water games happily.

"*We must often play with children, Fan, so as not to stress. Haha."

"Yes, yes, Cin, I miss being a child, we used to talk a lot when playing, until you were angry Kak Vera because your clothes were all wet. Haha."

"Yes, wkwkwk, I'm punished tomorrow not in love pocket money, keep pinjem money you*."

The five of us had been playing water all afternoon and had only stopped when it was getting dark and the game area was about to close. We really enjoyed today.

Lea, Maya, Dinda, Fani and I played cheerfully. If it's not closed yet, it looks like we're still going to play water again.

Although tired, but we are very happy and enjoy every second in this place.
