Mama For Mikaela
FIFTY SIX
“Lah, you want to go directly to the office, Ga?” Arkana was made to wonder when he saw Segara coming down the stairs in neat clothes while carrying a briefcase.
“Iya.” Segara said briefly. He pulled out one of the chairs at the dining table and sat on it.
A glass of Arkana's white water offered to her sister-in-law. “But you just came back last night?”
“Yes how else, the Adella is so chatty I keep. You don't know, do you, if he nagged like how? I'm like a battering firecracker, not secretly.” After explaining at length, Segara downed the water given by Arkana. After which, he glanced towards Micah who was playing his food, looking unappetised.
“You why else?” ask Micah who is sitting across from Segara. The one asked raised his head, but did not answer, instead shuffled towards Lana who was sitting next to him. For that, Segara also turned to look at Lana, asking for an explanation. “Why else, Miss?”
As she pulled Micah up onto her lap, Lana replied, “Ask sister.” Then he ended up grimacing when he recalled how miserable Micah was when he asked his sister when they took a bath.
The sister's problem clearly made Segara sigh long. This is because Mama, she had to go to the woman to hold her accountable. “Daddy has said to you, no sister.”
“Ya why? Why can't you have a sister?” Micah was rather insistent, his facial water changed drastically and the two children's neutrals began to appear watery. “Why, Daddy?”
“Gue don't follow.” Chirps Arkana, then galloped away because honestly he was already lazy to watch this little commotion in the morning. The only thing that fussed about was that and he already knew the end result. Segara's stubbornness won't vindicate Micah, even if it's just pretending. The child has indeed become smarter, useless if promised but can not really fulfill it.
While at the dinner table, Micah was still waiting for a reasonable answer from his father. Yesterday, before picking up her father and mother to the airport, Micah stopped by Leah's house with Arkana. There, Leah tells a lot of things, including happy news about her pregnant mother and Leah will soon have a sister in the near future. Micah who had initially forgotten the request about the sister clearly felt ignited back to hear Leah's story. He also wants a sister. He thought, if Leah can, why can't she?
“Daddy?” the boy continued to charge.
Segara breathed out hard. His head was already dizzy to make a work plan to be carried out in the office later, and Micah's strange request increasingly made his head almost break. “Let's think obrolin again, Daddy has to go to work now, it's noon.” So just like that, Segara fled.
The briefcase lying on the empty chair he was struck, as fast as lightning he left the dining table before he could touch the breakfast that Lana had prepared after a brief peek at Micah's still pouting head.
No matter the conditions in the back. He believed Lana could handle Micah for now. Isn't that what their marriage was for?
Passing through the living room, he meets a hyper-tolerant Arkana on the couch, like an unemployed man whose job is a burden on his parents. “Change your shirt, to the office.” He said he threw the daily newspaper on a table near the sofa until it landed perfectly on Arkana's face.
The victim of the newspaper throw was clearly scratching. Arkana practically straightened his body, glaring at Segara while throwing a rough sheet of newspaper back on the table. “Eh, I've been to your dressing office for four days in a row huh, Segara Adhitama! Nothing, this is the day I rest. Dizziness anjir working office.” The young man complained that his hair had grown almost to the neck.
“No excuses, shower hunt! I wait for you at the office. Until 10 o'clock do not come, your salary this month plus bonuses I will not go down.” Segara threatened.
“Dih, where can that be?! Do not be as good as his own jidat dong!”
No matter what, Segara rushed away. Dizziness his head, then it would be better if he immediately came out of this house.
“Backed!” Arkana cursed, but there was no Micah around. Really, the work that Segara had to handle was so much and mind-boggling. In just four days he was helping there, his head was already about to break. Just imagine, he was paid to assemble the company's data security program, but over the past four days, he was told to go to a lot of meetings that he could only learn about overnight. Crazy already!
But even so, Arkana still dragged her steps away. If left to do everything alone, pity also Segara Adhitama. The next one he's getting cranky and it's getting harder and harder to get the mood to give him a new nephew.
Huh... For Micah. In order to get the boy to get a sister, Arkana will try her best.
...****************...
A doengggg!
Segara felt his head like it had just collapsed, aka, DIZZY ONCE COMRADE! How not? Just got to the lobby, he, Adella has welcomed him with a fierce face and a barrage of scolding that is ready to slide through her thin lips that today are daubed using red lipstick shimmering that seems to represent how eager the woman was to nag the day these.
“No can, yes. Next time you can not just take an impromptu leave. Know, no? Because of Mr. Ajuin impromptu leave, I so have to reschedule many important meetings so that you can love Pak Arkana time for students in his files. That's it, Pak Arkana is very slow to ask for forgiveness, moan mulu! Lose me, just to say one word, he's already 100 words. Tired, Sir, I'm tired.”
Segara's ears feel very pengang. All the sentences Adella said in one breath, making Segara who only heard it also felt engap.
“You turned out to be a nagging for mercy, yes, Del, my nyesel once thought that you were his son kindhearted, meek and not arrogant.” After a long time, finally Segara was able to issue the unkempts that he had been alone. It's true, when he first joined the company, he thought Adella was a figure who nurtured and could help his work.
Well, for the helping part of the job, it's true. Segara was willing to bet, the chance to get a deft employee like Adella, he had to look for her among more than 1000 people. But yes, it's a nagging thing!
Protesting so, Adella snorted. While a manyun, the woman pressed the elevator button to the floor where the Segara workspace was located. “If it is not chatty, work will not be anything wrong. If that's not right, then who's wrong? Me, Sir. Later there will be protests, ‘that's how the Adella is not really working. Instead of helping to let the work of the spout be done, even follow the catapult!’ if so, how?”
Ting!
The elevator opens, they walk out, still with Adella busy nagging. “I feel like I want to resign just know, sir. But if I resign the company again precarious, kok effect kayak irresponsible.”
“Lah, don't resign dong. No one will help me.” Segara panicked himself to hear Adella's words about resign.
“Yes, Mr. Segara also do not care for himself dong. We must work together so that all the projects we handle can be completed properly. If the work is done we are also good.” While saying so, Adella opened the door of the room for Segara. “Yang yesterday was the last time Mr. Segara took a leave of absence, yes. I do not want to until Mr. Segara take another leave until the end of the year.” Final Adella, like she's in control of all the rules in this company.
But Segara did not mind at all. She just accepted Adella's decision. Then the woman's nagging turned silent after they took a sitting position and both had held the file that each wanted to learn.
This is one of the advantages of working with Adella. Her mouth was indeed chatty, but the woman knew when it was time to stop. If there is no Adella. ah, somehow Segara fate in this company.
...****************...
The first place Arkana went to was clearly the Segara room. Based on the schedule Adella gave him yesterday, today there was no meeting with the client. They only need to discuss some things related to the project that last time was still mangkrak. The Segara Adhitama had planned to review the location, but until now there had been an incident that made the visit schedule backward.
“Mission, Bang!” arkana still laughs when knocking on the door of Segara's room. The moment the door opened, the two people inside simultaneously turned their heads with serious gazes.
“Log, game.” Tell Segara, then the man resumed his discussion with Adella.
Arkana walked over, taking a seat next to Adella after receiving some files from her.
“This is still about the apartment building project that?” he asked, starting to comb the lines of sentences that are in the paper.
“Iya.” Segara. After reading another piece of the file, he continued. “Today I want to go down to the field. Lo temenin me, let Adella handle the office.”
It was an absolute order that could not be denied, so Arkana nodded resignedly. Going down to the field doesn't seem to be bad, either. Rather than him having to be cooped up in a workspace full of files, ughhh, crowded.
The three then drowned in solemnity, searching his files still while occasionally having discussions to find the best way out.
...****************...
“That makes baby sister difficult, yes, Mommy?”
Lana who was helping Bi Surti prepare lunch then quit her activities. He turned to Micah, who was now sitting on the floor, playing with Hechi, who was dressed in white with lace and pink bando. Micah himself said that Hechi was a man.
“Ya..pasil.” Lana replied after weighing for a while.
“What trouble, anyway, until Daddy doesn't want to try?” the curiosity emanated clearly from Micah's round netra, making Lana finally give up on her activities with Bi Surti and choose to join Micah instead.
Lana then crouched down in front of Micah, tidying up the strands of the boy's hair that dangled over his eyes. “That's hard, Micah. Even though you have tried to continue, but if God does not want love, it will not be able to.” He tries to give understanding.
“Oh, so baby sister is a loving God?” ask Micah plain. The fate of Hechi who was originally used as a trial material in the fashion game is now even more tragic. The teddy bear was left just like that, lying helplessly on top of the flour sprinkling on the floor. Before playing with various models of clothes for Hechi, Micah did play cooking first. Yup, with real flour. Be the floor is still dirty.
“Yes, the baby's sister is a loving God. So, if Micah really wants to have a baby sister, Micah is diligent enough to pray with God to be loved. But remember, you can not make any sense especially until angry, yes. Anyway if not already loved, yes pray just continue until later God wants love.” According to Lana, that's the safest way. So Micah prayed to God more often. So that his son becomes a devout servant and close to the creator as well.
For a moment, Micah was silent. His developing brain was trying to digest every sentence his mother said. When he felt he understood, he also rose from the position of a slide. “OK, starting today, Micah will be diligent in praying with God!” the boy exclaimed with great enthusiasm.
Lana's lips thinned hearing it all. His mind also feels a little sinful, because it is useless to pray until the mouth is foamy if there is never any effort that is done afterwards. But how else? It was the only way she had thought of to calm Micah down, at least for now.
“Ya already, now you continue to play first. Tuh, pity Hechi you stay alone so.” Lana said while pointing at Hechi whose condition was already terrible.
Micah turned his head, then with his play the boy pulled Hechi from the floor, hugged him tightly while rubbing his head as if the lifeless puppet was wounded. “Oh, Haechi, you okay? I’m so sorry. Forgive me, pleaseee.”
Lana chuckles amusedly at the acting of Micah who deserves a thumbs up. Very anxious, must look like his late mother. He may not look like his father because... Yes it does not need to be explained anymore, right what kind of human named Segara Adhitama?
“Your clothes are dirty because they are wrapped in Hechi flour.”
Instead of panicking, Micah was just a whimper. “Hehehe later yes Mommy change her clothes, later if you already want to take a nap.” He made an offer.
“Ngak ah, later if Daddy video call at lunch hour, continue to see you cymong so later that there is a Mommy got scolding. Come on, change our clothes first.” Lana took Micah by the hand, and invited the boy to rise with her.
“Ish ... Daddy likes fierce if same Mommy?”
“Bit.”
“Quiet, Mommy, later let Micah who omelin Daddy so no longer fierce same Mommy.”
Just like that, Lana was back to chuckling. “Emang Micah not afraid Daddy angry back at Micah?”
“Neg dong. If Micah wasn't naughty, Daddy wouldn't be mad.”
“Iya?”
“Iya! Anyway Mommy calm down, Micah will keep Mommy!”
And the laughter filled the entire corner of the originally quiet house. A house that has been plagued for years and no joy at all.
Bi Surti, as one of the witnesses who saw how the mood changes in this house quietly boasted a smile. The presence of Lana is a gift, she is grateful that the woman was brought into this house so that the gray that originally seemed to be firmly enthroned on the roof, he said, now slowly start to step aside because Lana managed to bring with her the colors of the rainbow along with her arrival here.
“Bu, home so cool again thanks to there is Bu Lana. So now, Miss Karen don't have to worry anymore, yeah. Everything will be fine.” Bi Surti whispered to the figure of Karenina who was out of nowhere now.
