Happy Reading🌾's
The sound of laughter was heard echoing in the ears. The sound came from a room with a door with a Spider-Man character on it.
Dara smiled, with her clasped hands slowly reaching for the door knob and opening it. In the room, there was Gervin who was busy tickling the belly of the Sky so as to make the boy who was being tickled laugh giggling.
“For what?” dara asked as she stepped over to her two children who were laughing on the bed with a sprai that also depicted Spiderman.
Hearing the mother's voice, the sky immediately sat himself down properly. Those round eyes looked cutely at Dara.
“Mama has finished talking to Papa?” ask Sky.
Dara nagging. “Already. Yes already, down yuk. Said he was gonna eat pudding.”
The sky immediately descended from the bed, followed by Gervan. The three different-aged humans began to step out of the room.
Dara stopped her steps as she felt something pull the edge of her shirt. Dara lowered her head, looking at Gervan who was still holding onto the edge of his shirt.
“What's up, baby?” tanyanya gently.
“O ... om earlier, call Gelvan no, Ma?” ask Gervan lirih.
Dara likened her height to Gervan, her hands holding both of the boy's shoulders.
“Alhamdulillah, Papa can accept Gervan. From now on, you call him Papa, yes. Let's be like Eagle.”
Gervan nodded enthusiastically, his eyes twinkling. The little boy was happy, because the man he thought was fierce had accepted him.
“Mama, Bang Van, why stay there? Come, Ma!”
That cry from Heaven broke their conversation. Dara stood up again, her next hand holding Gervan and next to him holding the sky. Arriving at the family room, Dara immediately gave the bowls containing pudding to the two handsome boys.

The atmosphere of the dining table this time seemed to sound more crowded than usual. If before there was only the sound of the Sky chattering that continued to tell without stopping, then from today, Sky enthusiastically told a lot of things with Gervin.
Dara stirred up the coffee she had just made for Stevan. The woman smiled warmly while putting coffee in front of her husband. Dara's eyes turned to look at Gervan while sitting himself across from Stevan.
“Gervan,” call Dara.
Gervan who was originally responding to the ravings of Heaven immediately turned his head.
“Ya, Mama?”
“Lusa ye school, yes?” bargain Dara while folding her hands on the dining table.
The offer from Dara immediately got an enthusiastic nod from the interlocutor. Gervan has not felt the beauty of school for a long time, maybe about three months ago—since the uncle began to be rude to him.
During this time, Gervan was only able to suppress the desire for his school in his heart. Whereas, in rebellious self— rejects that emphasis. Although not able to go to school, but the intention to demand knowledge never dropped out, even felt bigger.
If his uncle did not allow him to go to school, then how could a child as small and weak as Gervan could rebel like what adults do? Let alone rebelling, just wanting to resist, a whip of a very painful belt had already floated smoothly on his back.
Gervan never blamed, let alone hold a grudge for his uncle. Only, his little heart ached, the terrace torn apart. Why isn't her life as beautiful as her friends?
Gervan also wants to feel what a happy family feels like. Where, the mama who prepared his provisions, then the papa who delivered himself as if. Or, the three take a walk around the zoo, then go on a picnic in the open.
“Van!” A masculine voice was thrust into his eardrum.
Gervan's eyes blinked, he looked at Stevan who was looking at him in wonder.
“Pa .. pa.” The words faltered.
Honestly speaking, the eagle's sharp eyes still frightened Gervan. A shadow of torture from the uncle began to enter his mind.
The little boy held his head tightly.
“Uncle, don't hit Gelvan! Gelvan promises not to be naughty anymore! Pardon, Uncle!”
Stevan and Dara looked at each other, before the voice of Heaven decided their gaze.
“Mama, Papa, Bang Van why?” the sky panicked.
Stevan immediately got up from his seat, the man easily jerked Gervan's body into his cradle while whispering various sedative sentences in the tiny ears. Stevan knew Gervan's soul was shaken and depressed. It is not appropriate for such a small child to have to face mental pressure, even this severe. Stevan can feel, that at this time Gervan is having trouble breathing.
“Gervan, listen to Papa. You take a breath and exhale slowly. Look, here is Mama, Papa, the same Eagle who will always be there for Gervan. Gervan is not alone ..” Stevan said as he gently rubbed the boy's head in his carrier. “... don't let the shadows affect you, Gervan should be able to beat it all,” he continued.
One thing that Stevan fears, he fears if later will grow another personality in Gervan due to deep trauma. Do not rule out the possibility, that when Gervan felt like giving up on everything, then a double personality began to appear—take over the body of the poor boy.
After Gervan felt calmer, the little boy looked at Stevan right in the bead of his eyes. Slowly, his head began to lean against the man's neck.
“Thank you, Papa,” great-grandson Gervan while re-regulating his breathing.
Dara who saw it all smiled, herself also amazed by what Stevan did to calm Gervan. The woman looked down, looking at the sky that was tugging at the end of the clothes Dara was wearing.
“Mama, carrying!” pinta Langit while stretching out both his arms wide.
Dara laughed softly looking at that adorable face, she immediately raised Sky's body into her sling.
“Bang Van why, Pa?” ask Sky when his position was near Stevan and Gervan.
Stevan turned his head, his hands outstretched slowly the hair of Heaven.
“Abang is okay, Lang. Papa can ask for something not the same Eagle?”
The sky nodded a few times. “Bby, Pa.”
“Elang never stay alone, yes?”
“Iya, Pa. Eagle will always belsama Bang Van.”
Stevan and Dara smiled with satisfaction. The two approached, hugging each other with the position of the two little children between them.
“Lusa Gervan school in place of Eagle, yes?” Dara repeated her offer again as they sat back on the dining table.
Gervan. “Iya, Mother. Thank you, Ma, Pa, Elang, for calling Gelvan here sincerely. Here, Gelvan can again feel the name old olang affection.”
Dara smiled haru, she moved Sky's body to sit next to him and kissed Gervan's cheek anxiously.
“Mama thank you again, Son. With the presence of you, this family feels more crowded, Eagle also has friends at home,” said Dara, then again raised the Sky into his lap.
