“Dad.” Erka made a sound, in contrast to Ersa who chose silence and Ayleen looked down speechless.
If Veronica, of course Erka can protest as usual. But this is his daddy, the edict was accompanied by a reason at length. In fact, Hutomo has provided a solution to the youngest's college problem.
The old man sipped cereal and his milk then raised his hand for the son to stop protesting. He felt his orders were clear enough and did not need a rebuttal. Considering the matter all night, he still had time to see Ayleen and Erka walking into the house holding little Dayana.
The scenery that finally made Hutomo can no longer close his eyes with all whining and pleading his wife. Dayana needs a mother. This condition can not wait for the mourning atmosphere to pass because the tiny baby does not understand anything.
“Ayleen college, Dad.”
Erka tried to throw in one of the most reasonable excuses. He knew at this moment only he could be counted on to refuse. Ersa will not be allowed to be involved, while Ayleen can be sure to accept all though not sincere.
The status as an adopted child in the Hutomo family makes the girl quite know herself where her position is. Of course, do not want to disappoint an old couple who have been kind and sincerely love him. Moreover, he was appointed and given a clear family name.
“Lecture and get married .. indeed can not?”
Everyone at the dinner table was silent. Common questions that can be answered easily.
“I even saw many pregnant and college.” Hutomo.
Silence enveloped the atmosphere at the dining table until Dayana's cry suddenly sounded from the direction of the living room. Ayleen flinched, these few days with the nanny taking care of the baby, the inner contact began to form on its own.
Before long, there were footsteps approaching, and the sound of crying became more and more domineering. The girl who was babysitting Dayana seemed to approach and approach Ayleen.
“Crying again, Mom. The medicine was in the mouth. The body is not hot anymore. But I still don't drink milk. What ...”
“Try bribed milk, Ma'am,” Ayleen's word. The 19-year-old girl hurriedly stood up and took over Dayana. He also does not really understand taking care of the baby, can only help as much as possible.
Everyone was silent with their own thoughts. Only the Hutomo remained smiling sweetly, staring one by one the inhabitants of the house.
“This small example.” Hutomo made a sound as the sound of crying vanished with Ayleen disappearing behind the dining room. “Imagine that Daddy, Mommy, and Ayleen are back in Bandung. What happened to Dayana?” The old man gave an image.
“Imagine until the caregiver suddenly comes home or stops working. Then, how is the fate of Dayana?”
Erka and Ersa bowed.
“You guys want to take it to the office? Come into the meeting room? Babysitting alternately?” Hutomo chuckled softly.
The mood remains silent. Not a word came out of the lips of another family member.
“You think that nanny will still be there? At times it can get sick and fall. If that happens, want to ask Mommy to fly from Bandung to here just to take care of your daughter?” cerocos Hutomo's.
“Why Ayleen?” Ersa who had been silent since, started to make a sound.
“Tell me .. if there are any other candidates, who qualify. Married to Erka means having to accept Dayana. Is looking for a wife and mother for Dayana can be as fast as lightning?”
Veronica looked up to stand her seat. The two hands intertwined on the table, he spoke.
“Will anyone accept Erka and her daughter sincerely? If there were, it would be hard to find it. Why Ayleen?” Pause for a moment, Veronica looked at her two sons in turn.
“Ayleen. I knew him inside out. If she had dared to mess with Dayana, I would have nagged her. Then, what if Erka married another woman? If only it were just lips and hurt my grandson.” Veronica shook her head.
