Little Monster

Lea Shirt

"Mas, you know I was talking to Miss Rachel, Leah's teacher," I started our 'pillow talk.

"*Ohya? Talk about what, Hun?"

"About Lea donk, Mas .. time about our household ... hahahaha*." I couldn't help but laugh, there was nothing funny, but somehow, my husband was a very funny person in every way. That's according.

"*Iyaa .. yes, I mean, Sasa miciinn ... pinch niihh ...."

"You like pinches .. it hurts, hug ajjaa, Hun, xixixi."

"Yaudah here hug here ...."

"Yes, does Lea have no teacher?"

"Yes, at that time Dewi said her tutoring teacher Lea could not teach Lea properly, so stop tutoring."

"Ooh that ...."

"What's up, Hun?"

"That's Mas ... emm .. sorry well .. I don't feel good talking ...."

"Not good why, dear? you want dienakin?"

"Haiisshhh .. what dahh, Mas, again serious talk also ... I bite nihh ...."

"You also like to bite like a rat .. or like a dracula, that's your tooth, ready to bite ...."

"These real digits are yah*!" I was half joking.

"Yaudah, yes, just by the way, Hun ...."

"Miss Rahel told me that Lea was the slowest in her class, Mas, the first class of Lea was already able to read and write like a child her age .... Well, Miss Rahel is willing to follow Lea tutoring at school or tutoring at home so that she can catch up on what's left ...."

"Yes, at that time there was a teacher tutoring, Dewi said again look for another new teacher."

"Lea also has not returned a book from two weeks ago, Mas, I was asked only when I did not know anything about the book.

Miss Rahel said, all the students had the book in school, only Lea had not returned."

"Try asking the Goddess, Hun."

"I'm not good, Mom, ask ...."

"Judah tomorrow I'm the one who wants to."

Our 'pillow talk' session continues to talk about Lea, about school, and various things about Lea during the few days she lived here. Mas Indra repeatedly apologized to me and asked me to be more patient with Lea, and with the current circumstances while waiting for Grandma Lea to return again from her hometown.

• 7 Day to

As usual, Mas Indra enjoyed his coffee and I pinched Lea's hair. While putting on her socks and shoes, I casually asked the boy.

"Well, didn't you know PR last week?"

"I know" replied Leah.

"What really?"

"Not really .. hehehe." The monster grinned while showing its row of gupis upper teeth even seen all of its teeth lost and toothless due to eating too much candy.

"*Why not do it?"

"I'm tired ...."

"Capek what?"

"I'm playing."

"Haisshh .. main mulu ... This Friday if there is PR again, the same work I used to be here huh? if you do not want to do PR alone, then Miss Rachel will be angry ... You want Miss Rachel to be angry?"

"No ...."

"You have to do it yourself, okay?"

"Okay."

"So who took Lea's PR yesterday?"

"My mom."

"Times?"

"It's true that I'm tired."

"This week in the same work I and Papa aja well ... let Papa Indra teach Lea, Okay?"

"Grand*."

It turns out that it is true Madam Dewi who works on PR Lea. It's fair that Miss Rachel said to let Lea do her own PR.

"*Did Lea just last week not do PR or every week?"

"Dewi Ma'am knows that Lea is the slowest student in the class*?"

Various questions came to my mind about how Maak Dewi cared about Lea school. Even Miss Rachel talked to me about Leah's problem.

Haiisshh .. What do I care?? Lea was only here for a while, if Grandma had come, I also no longer need to bother picking her up to school or dizzy thinking about what to cook for the monster one. After all, with that kid in my house, everything changed. I'm tired of doing a lot of things.

"Udah ready? let's go .." invite Mas Indra who at once disperse the mind that is raging in my brain.

"Let's go!" lea answered cheerfully.

"Lea later don't forget to salim Papa before getting out of the car, okay?" I reminded the boy while we were on our way.

"Okay," he replied slowly.

After Lea entered school, I asked Mas Indra to take me to the nearest market to shop for vegetables because our food supplies were almost exhausted and I had not had time to shop again. I also have brought money because indeed from the morning I plan to stop by the market and shop.

Arriving at the market, I bought what I needed, from fruits, vegetables, tempe tofu, meat, seafood and others. I really like shopping in the market because in addition to the unique market atmosphere, I am also sometimes ignorant to bid on items I want to buy, although in the end I still pay with the price that has been set. For groceries or other items that I can not get in the market such as 'double cream', 'mozarella cheese', and others, I usually buy in the supermarket with Mas Indra. I have also become a customer of many stalls in this market, so to buy vegetables and fruits that are 'fresh' or fresh, I go directly to my kiosk.

In this market, there are also many who sell various cakes such as cookies, layer cakes, doughnuts, and various other market snacks.

I bought two packs of chocolate and cheese cookies for Lea. That kid wants to, so go home to school and eat some cake first.

After I finished shopping for the kitchen, I rushed home. But before that I passed by the clothing store, I remember yesterday morning Mother Goddess did not bring another change of clothes for the monster. I went into the store and asked for clothes for Kindergarten. The store clerk showed me a variety of children's clothes I might want to buy. Because Madam Dewi only brought 5 pairs of clothes, I finally bought 4 sets of children's pajamas. Two for Lea and two for Maya if I sleep over at home.

"Let's not on the scramble," I thought.

Hello Kitty nightgowns and LOL cartoons I chose for both of them. I also bought some home shorts and new underwear for Lea. Let it be, anyway while in my house, I do not want the child to run out of clothes or underwear.

Since Mas Indra had to go to the office immediately, he wasn't waiting for me to shop. So I booked a taxi online and got home soon.

All the groceries I was going to cook this afternoon were ready, I went to take a bath and prepared to pick up the little monster to his school.

Everything has really changed.

Previously, at this hour I was enjoying my meal while waiting for Mas Indra to come home from the office and have lunch together.

But this time, I have to go pick up the boy.

____________

Ahh ... tired of waiting in the car. I decided to sit in the student guardian's waiting room.

Many mothers and nuns babysitters who are waiting for school to disperse. I felt so foreign to being among that crowd of people.

I saw an empty bench, and I sat there. Next to me, there was a woman who was also waiting for her son.

I smiled and nodded my head as "Hi".

The woman returned my smile.

"Pick up who, Dek?" tanyanya started a conversation.

"It's Lea's pick, sister, Apple class," I replied somewhat embarrassedly.

"*Oh Lea, Azalea right? My son, Afif, one class with Lea"

"Well, brother?"

"Yes ... You're Lea's aunt yeah? Usually the one who picked Leah up was her grandmother*." That woman's question is a little hard for me to answer, should I be honest, tell her who I am?

"Emm .. I'm 'step mom', Brother .... Mami continued Lea, Grandma again returned to her town, so some days, I'm picking up school .. hehehe." I swear, I was so nervous when I claimed to be the stepmother of that little monster.

"*Connect mom? Kirain tantenya .. I also do not know which one is Mama Lea, rarely pick up too. Every day I see my grandmother. I'm Dewi ...."

"Maybe Mama Lea is busy, so the one who picked up her Grandma keeps going. I'm Anisa, Sister .. commonly called Sasa. Ohya, Mama Lea is also called Dewi .. hehe."

"Well, same .. but I'm the Goddess Mama Afif, Sa* ...."

A few minutes later, the kids left the class. Lea looked at me and looked very happy. He ran and hugged me. I said "meet you" to Sister Goddess and went straight home.

In the car, I gave Lea a cake that I bought at the market. The boy seemed happy, I asked him to say "Thank you" whenever someone gave him something.

Plainly, the boy said "Thankyou", then devoured chocolate and cheese cakes.

At home, I, Mas Indra and Lea enjoyed our lunch. Mas Indra went back to the office because there was still something to be done.

I see, Lea is playing in the room.

"Aman .. I can iron the shirt now," my inner self.

Moments later, I heard the sound of broken items from Lea's room.

"Comprainshggggg!"

"What happened here?! (What's going on here)?!" manya curious.

On the floor of the room, scattered fragments of table lamps that we put as a dim light when Lea slept, so that if he woke up in the middle of the night, there were still lights in his room.

"I, I .. I was playing and it kept falling" Lea replied in fear as she pointed at the shards of lights scattered in front of her.

"Be careful donk play .. This light shards if it hits you, can bleed tauu!! If you keep breaking things and do not play carefully, already ahh go home there!" I nagged while cleaning up the messy floor.

"I don't want to go home, I want to be here .. hiks, hikss .." The boy started crying.

Whahuh? don't want to go home? want to be here?

Why is that boy still here when I just got angry?

"Don't cry if you don't want to go home. The play is also careful yaa .. if it breaks the goods again, I anterin go home nih.." threatening me while taking the car keys.

"I want to be careful" replied Leah.

"Jude, play again, be careful, okay?"

"Okay."

I didn't hear any more shrapnel or noise from the boy's room while I was ironing my clothes.

For a moment I was worried that the monster might run away from home? But where is it possible? am I the door lock? is that child ....??

I immediately ran to his room, I saw him sitting in the front seat of the study table and coloring his picture book.

"Oh .. thank goodness .. kirain that boy jumped out of the window, kept on blurring .. ckckckck."

After dinner was over and Lea played with her father, around 20:30 I took the boy to brush his teeth and go to bed. At first he did not comply, but his father also persuaded Lea to go to bed soon because tomorrow he had to go to school.

In the room, as usual, Lea hugged my right hand with both her hands.

Lazily, I extended my left hand to hug her tiny body. I pretended to be asleep so that he too fell asleep immediately.

"*Good night, Lea .. sweet dream."

"Good night*."

I felt the child's breath, it seemed like he was exhausted, in less than 10 minutes, he had already slept soundly.

I slowly let go of my hand that Lea was holding. Because it was 9pm, Mas Indra and I were waiting for me in the front room to go to the bedroom.

"Mas, I'd like to apologize" I started our 'pillow talk' with an apology.

"*Apologies for what, Hun?"

"I was angry with Lea, Mas .. I didn't mean it, I just got carried away.. Sorry I did, Mas ...."

"What did Emang Lea do until you got angry?"

"She fell down the table lamp in the room until it broke splattered her bulb .. I was afraid it would hit her hands or feet, so I was immediately angry ... I couldn't stand my emotions."

"Yes, no papa, dear .. next time hold the emotion yes .. if the anger continues later cepet old lohh .. tell me to carefully play."

"Udah, Mas ...."

"Well, if so, naughty again isn't he after that?"

"No, no. .. uh, Mas .. when Lea said she didn't want to go home, she wanted to be here, so .. if I said, 'wicked people go home' ...."

"Lea said that?"

"Yes .. ciyus, Mas ...."

"Maybe he's at home here."

"Yeee .. emang from the past keles, Mas .. no Lea no Maya, at home here. I'm mean, aren't I, Hun?"

"Yes, you're so fierce as a tiger!"

"Haisshhh .. what is dahh .... Ohya, during this time I have also never heard of Lea nanyain Mama or ask to go home, Mas .... Even last week when Mbak Dewi wanted a video call, Lea did not want to talk to her mother. His face even closed with two hands and he ran as I gave my HP to Lea."

"He doesn't like video calls, Hun .. You know I rarely video calls him because he never wants to."

"Yes .. I mean, how different is Mas... Maya aja although at home also here but still nanyain mama and ask for a phone."

"That means that Lea is comfortable with you, dear .. she likes to stay here*," Mas Indra stroked my hair and repeatedly kissed my forehead and also my head until we fell asleep.
