"Dek, koq belepotan that's it."
Amanda rebuked Afka the next day. When the child ate and the food was smashed in the mouth to the edge of the table, where he sat.
Afka laughed and took back the food on the edge of her desk.
"Eee, no. It's filthy!"
Amanda looked so angry, she cleaned it up with tissue and replaced Afka's food with new food.
Arka looked at his wife. Usually he is not too riweh and cuek only. After all, the table and chairs of his children have been cleaned and sterilized first before they use.
"It hurts again" Amanda said.
"You know bacteria everywhere." He continued the words.
Afka looked silent and a little down. Arka then approached and persuaded the boy.
"Let's eat yuk again!" sama later.
Afka was still silent, while Azka watched her while chewing her chickpeas.
"It's okay, mom's not mad at you. But eating cannot be so. It has to be here, on the plate."
Afka looked at her father, and then she went back to eating. Now Arka's eyes are on Amanda.
"Why are you?" ask her later.
Amanda was silent, but the look on her face was still full of anger.
"No need to be angry until it is the same as a child. He doesn't know anything yet." said Arka.
Amanda was silent.
"Amanda."
"You're the one who said they were sick yesterday, maybe I'm not keeping clean. I'm the one you're wrong with, but sometimes they're their own behavior."
Amanda's tears started to flow. Arka remembers what she said when they just got out of the clinic. When treating Azka and Afka the other day.
"You think it's good to be wrong like that, all this time I've been lacking in our household. Although I'm busy and sometimes my head will break. Because I have to handle everything."
Amanda's tears are getting worse. Arka approached and sat down with his wife. Arka wiped Amanda's tears with her hands.
"I'm sorry if what I said that day offended you. I really don't mean to blame or anything."
"But from the way you say that, Ka. You don't think."
"okay." Arka let out a long breath.
"I'm wrong, and I'm sorry."
Amanda was still crying. Arka then hugged the woman tightly.
"I'm sorry" he said again.
Amanda's crying is winding down. He then looked over and kissed Afka.
"I'm sorry mom" she told the boy.
Afka took the boiled chickpeas and gave them to Amanda. Amanda picked it up and kissed the boy again.
Arka took a tissue, then wiped the rest of the tears of the wife until everything was erased.

"Yes, elo shouldn't have said that to Bambang."
Rio was having fun when they finally met, after Arka came home from work. He told me about himself that turned out to be offensive to Amanda.
"Gue will be offended if you say so" said Rio again.
"Well, the boy's name is that age, can be infected with bacteria from anywhere. It can be from toys, food, their own hands. A thousand times use anti-bacterial too, not kill 100%."
"Yes." replied Arka.
"At least 99%, the remaining 1% split in quick time. So another thousand." said Rio.
"Gue didn't really expect it, he'd be that offended to me." Again Arka said.
"Smuck the time he. Take care of the household, work anyway, added lo salahin kayak so."
Arka was a little silent.
"Lo yes, bro. You've been working tired-capekawahin lo family. I also want to have time for my family. Continue the Amanda suppose to say, if you are less effort and less attention is also the same family. You must be offended, right?"
"Yes, I've admitted that I was wrong. And I'm sorry about him too."
"Clearly?"
"Udah."
"Keep to what you confided to me?" ask Rio.
"It's not good, there's something stuck in my heart" replied Arka and laughed.
"Therefore don't make things" said Rio again.
Arka laughed again, then ate her food. He made a pact to meet with Rio, to eat together.
"Lo eat out like gini, ntar if bini lo cook how?."
"Dining is different again" said Arka.
"Gue can still accommodate more." he continued later.
"OK if that's it. I was afraid that the Word was offended, suddenly you did not eat at home. Ntar him nanya lo abis eat where, you answer eat the same me. Tomorrow I'm in the same row with him."
"Well, is it okay, you're home with him?. Cuekin's sample must be baper."
"Yes, it's still not good. Ntar if I'm bete again, want to play to where you how?"
Arka laughing.
"He wasn't that happy that time, Ri. When it comes to eating, I eat out. I also eat if the middle laper malem." he said later.

"Lo koq that's it, man. I called before. I talked and I gave you an input too. Koq lo still feels that you have to be super tight to the kids."
Nindya regretted Amanda's attitude when her best friend called. After the incident he almost had a fight with Arka this morning. About him who was too hard to behave towards Afka.
"Gue doesn't know, Nin. I think the instincts in me are pushing me to be clean. I'm afraid they're sick again."
"Be a psychologist, try. Don't let things drag on." Nindya gave her advice.
"Ntar was afraid of him unconsciously and even repeated again. Or chat by phone, only thirty thousand of these per session." continued the woman.
"Lebay not really me, must go to all psychologists. Trivial problems like this doang." asked Amanda.
"There is no such thing as trivial if it is mental. It could be a time bomb for you and your children." replied Nindya.
Amanda silence.
"Educating a child with a psychologist is okay, Man. You alone are the one who told me not to taboo."
Amanda was still silent, but Nindya knew her best friend was still listening.
"Lo can act like that, which means you need help again. All right, Arka, let's both learn. In the future, I can be a better parent. You have this money, why make it harder."
"Yes." said Amanda.
"Yes, you're talking to Arka. Let him come too. Educating the child can not be with one hand, it can not be just his mother or father. Unless one of them is amit-amit does not exist. Divorce though, must remain both ngasuh son. Because they need both."
"Yes Nin, I told Arka."
"Afka is okay, right?" ask Nindya later.
"No, I'm sorry. Even though he doesn't understand." said Amanda.
Nindya breathed quite a long sigh.
"Thank God that's it." he said later.
