Love, Treasure And Erlita

Love, Treasure And Erlita
Chapter 57



The birth of the fourth generation of the Susbihardayan family did bring many different colors in their family. A reckless and brave Nasya, a relaxed and humorous Handoyo, a submissive and understanding Alpha, and the most beloved and pampered Electa of all.


Since Erlita and Sisil's sons were almost the same age, and often met at breakfast together once a month, the two became very familiar. Not infrequently they become partners in crime alias working together in doing the act of delinquency of the boy.


Just like that day, when all the family members gathered in the mother house belonging to Erlita's late grandmother, Handoyo and four-year-old Alfa were making a big noise that led to Sania, who was the one who was the mother of the deceased, their grandmother was taken to the hospital.


The seven-and-six-year-olds are trying to power their creativity by making soap bubbles using a bottle of liquid soap that is put in a bath filled with running water.


Because of the fun of playing around, they forgot to turn off the water faucet. As a result, soapy water in the bath spilled out of the bathroom.


Sania who happened to pass by and was not aware of the flow of water that spilled from the bathroom, suddenly slipped and fell to the floor until he collapsed and was forced to be rushed to the hospital.


Erlita and Sisil, who are negligent in looking after their two children, take them to the hospital and have to take turns to look after and care for Sania until she recovers as a form of regret and responsibility.


Because too tired to divide the time to work and care for Sania, Erlita's time to be with Alfa was reduced. Even worse, Erlita became sick because of fatigue.


“Ma, why the hell should Mama bother looking after Oma Sania until healed? Can you get a waiter or doctor Arman to take care of Oma?”


“Darling, it's not just about healing Oma. But this is called responsibility, baby. When we cause problems and harm to others, then we must try to correct the consequences of the mistakes we caused. So mama has to take care of Oma until she recovers.” Erlita smiled to help her son digest every word and lesson he taught.


“What does ma mean?”


“I mean, it was to show Oma bahma Mama and Aunt Sisil really regret and feel guilty. If we pay someone else to replace our responsibilities, it's the same as Mama and Aunt Sisil don't really regret. That dear... Does Alpha mean Mama?”


“Terus Ma, who is looking for Alfa with Kak Handoyo. Why should Mama and Aunt Sisil be in charge?”


“That's because Alfa is still very small and can't yet be held responsible. So if Alfa makes a mistake, it means Mama is wrong for not teaching Alfa correctly.”


“Maafin Alfa Yes Ma?”


“Iya darling. My mom is sorry Alfa. But remember dad? The next time you play, be more careful. It was Oma Sania who fell. How to try if like Electa passing?”


Suddenly Alfa was goosebumps hearing her mother's words. He could not imagine what would happen to Electa if it were true and how she would have to atone for her guilt.


From that day on, little Alpha learned that he must always be careful and must not be careless for the safety of others. And that the mistake he made would trouble both his parents.
