Love of the Past

Extra Part - Eagle Request

"Congratulations," I said as I closed the picture book.

The eagle was still looking at me with his round eyes.

"Eagle's shell hasn't been bobo too? Usually before Mama finished reading the book, Eagle already bobo," asked me while wiping his forehead. "Is the story less exciting?"

"The story is great, Ma. It's the eagle that hasn't drowned" he replied.

"Yes, if so now Mama Temenin Eagle, until Eagle bobo, yes. It's eight o'clock, it's time for bed, honey."

"Yes, Ma" the Eagle closed his eyes.

Silent. I muttered a lullaby song hoping she'd go to sleep soon.

"Ma ...."

"Help ...."

"Why is the Eagle alone, no brother or sister?" tanyanya.

"Why did the Eagle ask that?" askaku.

"Because the Eagle has a brother or sister. Only the Eagle himself," he replied honestly.

"The Eagle has many brothers and sisters in Mother Shinta's house."

"I mean Eagle, brother or sister in this house, Ma. Mom and Dad's son. Yesterday the birthday eagle, the Eagle asked for a baby gift, said Papa yes, but there was no baby in the pile of gifts that I opened," he replied innocently.

"Elang sure, want baby? What if the baby is crying? So, the Eagle wants to share toys with baby?"

"You dong, the same time friends Eagle wants to share, the same baby does not want to share," he replied to me.

"If you have a baby, then Mama continues to take care of baby, how?" ask me by squinting my eyes.

Suddenly the sound of the door opening very slowly. The Word entered carefully.

"Kirain whiz Papa was bobo, apparently not yet," said Firman who came up to the bed.

"Elang can't sleep yet, Pa. He's still thinking about brother and sister" my story goes.

Word looked at the Eagle with a shady look.

"Elang was supposed to have a sister, but God took her before she was born" said the Word.

"Why?" ask Eagle.

"Because God loves you more, brother" replied my husband again.

"Does God love the Eagle?" ask again.

"Of course, the Eagle is a good boy who is obedient," as I.

"Then why didn't God take the Eagle too, like God took Brother?" the question was right in my heart.

"Because God is like Papa. If Papa had lost you too, I don't know what Papa's life is now," said the Word.

The eagle rubbed his papa's cheek. "Dear to Papa."

Word hugged the Eagle.

"Papa is very dear to the Eagle."

"How about tonight if the Eagle is bobo with Mama and Papa?" my cetus.

"Maybe?" ask her while looking at me.

"Can, yeah Pa?" my permission.

"By, yuk!" Word gets off the bed. "But the Eagle must be a spout bobo, yes."

"Yes!" the promise.

"Let's go up to Papa's back. We move on a horse," said Firman while giving his back to the Eagle.

Quickly, the Eagle went up to his Papa's back.

I looked at the behavior of the two people I loved so much with a grateful heart. Thankful for having been given the opportunity to feel like a happy family.

The eagle slept quickly in our arms. His calm face reminded me of his request.

"He was lonely, Man," I said softly, afraid to wake him who had just fallen asleep.

"Yes, he once told me about his friends who played with his brother or sister. So it was repeated last year he asked for a gift from a sister," replied Firman while wiping his favorite child's hair.

I got out of bed, moved onto the couch. The Word followed soon.

"I realized it when he was playing in the parlor. He looked very happy and did not want to go home. Also every time he comes home from school, he looks lethargic," I said with a laugh. I who now chose to be a full-time housewife, was completely aware of the change in my son's attitude.

The Word pulled me over his lap. In her arms I was from behind.

"But I'm scared, Lin. I'm still traumatized. Twice I almost lost you, it really almost made me die. Although I often say, love Eagle sister, but I don't really want it. For me, you and the Eagle are enough," kissed my back.

"You mean?"

"If I wanted to have another child. Are you ngizinin?" I put my head on his chest.

Word fell silent.

"And now, I'm 34 years old. I want to have one more child," I said as I glanced at the stiffening face of the Word. "Aren't you going to have any more kids, honey?"

"If you ask me, I want to have five children" he replied.

"If so, may I take off the IUD? We're on a pregnancy program, "I asked.

"You sure?" tanyakanya.

"Yes." Yeah."

The incision of my nightgown, "You're not afraid of your stomach being split again?" the appointment of a former caesarean section that ran across my stomach.

"No, because this time I want to give birth normally. Let me get a taste of what is called contraction while making the same with your claws" I said with a laugh.

...

This morning Firman and I were fighting over a basketball court. I was preparing to shoot when Word pulled my body back to the ground on top of him.

"The president! You cheated! What a boy, anyway," I grumbled.

The Word laughs with satisfaction.

"Say it's old. Can't block," I still I grumbled and tried to stand up.

"What did you say, honey? Who is old?" pulled my body back into his arms.

"I love you here, this stamina of your husband that you say is old" he kissed my lips with passion.

"Ma, Pa," suddenly a voice startled us.

Immediately I pushed the body of the Word, and I covered my lips with the back of my hand.

"Wake up, honey?" I immediately turned to face the Eagle who was standing near the side door.

"What's Papa's mom?" tanyanya polo's.

"Again basketball. But Papa cheated. Papa pull Mama down" I said as I approached her.

The Word that was still sitting on the ground just smiled hearing my reasoning.

"Want to play?" ask Word.

"Elang wants to play ball, the basketball hoop is too high" he said.

"Can. Let's play ball," Word immediately stood up to receive his son who immediately ran towards him.

I shook my head at the behavior of the father and son. Instead of playing ball, they ran after each other.

I can only laugh. I ran towards them, took part in the game they created. Intentions want to help the Eagle beat his papa, now even I who became moons. Instead of chasing the ball, they were chasing me.

"Stop! Stopit! Forgive me!" I shouted as the two men caught me.

The Word hugged me from behind tightly. I really don't care about it.

"Love Mama's punishment, El," cried the Word with a laugh.

"It's tickled yes, Pa," replied the Eagle.

"Don't, Honey. No!" I keep trying to rebel in the Word.

But the eagle's little hand was already tickling my stomach.

I laughed with joy, still occasionally asking that they stop doing it. They finally stopped. The Word released me who was directly kneeling on the grass.

"Mama's tired, huh?" ask Eagle.

"Yes, Mama is tired of laughing" I replied.

The eagle cupped my face and kissed the tip of my nose. Immediately I pulled the boy into my arms, and I kissed his puffed cheek until he chuckled.

"Mama's son just woke up, playing ball. Smell acem. Come on Pa, let's bathe the Eagle. Like a holiday," I cried.

"All of you take a bath in the mother too, let's not smell acem," said Firman as he lowered his head and immediately lifted me on his shoulder like lifting a sack of rice.

"Horeee!!" shouted Eagle. He immediately hooked his fingers between his papa fingers.

"Pa, down! Mama's dizzy," I shouted.

The Word does not seem to hear. He led me into the house while holding the Eagle.

"When we took a shower to the hospital, yeah. We'll talk to the doctor, let the Eagle have a sister soon" he said.

"Assyc! Papa is indeed the best," cried the Eagle while jumping up and down in excitement.
