After Vano's departure, Sky turned his attention to the paper bag on the table.
“This is what it is, Ma?” tanyanya, while reaching for the paper bag, then looking at the contents. “Wah, no chocolate cake!” exclaim Sky girang. Without waiting any longer, the little boy immediately grabbed the chocolate cake box from the paper bag with his eyes sparkling with pleasure.
“Gervan want, no?” stevan asked as he looked at Gervan who was just sitting quietly on his lap.
Gervan. “Gervan doesn't like chocolate cake, Pa.”
“Why, Bang?” asked Sky, he knitted his brows. “That's good, you know,” he continued, again gobbled up the chocolate cake in his hand.
Dara was only able to shake her head to see the behavior of her second child. The woman grabbed a tissue on the table and then snorted a brown stain on the corner of the lips of Heaven.
“You're a habit, if you eat like belepotan.”
The sky laughed, I don't know what he was laughing at.
“You've been in the shower, nih?” stevan asked, staring in turns at Sky and Gervan.
Gervan. “Udah, Pa. Last at home Oma.”
“Mandi alone or passworded?”
“Gervan shower itself, it's already big. If the Eagle is bathed, because he does not want to stop the water toy,” Gervan.
“Ih, Brother. Why do you know?” The sky pouted, then devoured the rest of the chocolate cake in his hand, making the boy's cheeks bulging comically.
With great difficulty, the sky was finally able to get off the sofa. The sky, Dara, and Gervan were silent, with hearts that kept guessing, what would the little boy do?
The sky aligned its height with Dara's stomach, then thrust the cake she had just taken towards the woman's stomach.
“Adek want, no? The cake is delicious, you know,” bargain Sky, he brought his head closer to the stomach of the mother, as if he was communicating with the prospective sister.
The sky normalized his position, his little hand thrusting the cake he held into the mouth of the mother. Dara frowned, but unmindfully accepted a bribe from the boy.
“Nah, Adek already fussed about the cake, hehe.” The sky laughed, then rubbed Dara's stomach gently. The boy's round eyes looked at Dara curiously. “Mama, when is it going? Eagles have not been sabal want to play with Adek.”
Stevan chuckled, then patted Sky's head, making the boy look at him.
“Adek out, later. Still five months.”
“Five months it's how many days, Pa?” Gervan, who had been silent since, raised his voice.
“About 150 days.” The answer from Stevan made the originally enthusiastic Sky, now began to relax.
“Well, still long dong,” lamented Sky, occupying the sofa between his parents limply.
“If counted for a long time, but later also not felt,” said Gervan, patting the arm of Sky slowly.
The sky just nodded, he had no passion to answer. The boy was disappointed, because the presence of the sister he was waiting for was still a long time.
“Elang don't be sad, dong. Eat the chocolate cake, make it Eagle.” Dara thrusts the chocolate cake box towards the sky. “Mama wants to take a shower first, yes,” continued Dara, move from her seat, then step towards the room.
“Mama isn't tired huh, Pa?” The question from Gervan made Stevan scrunch his forehead.
”Capek why?” tanyanya, do not understand.
“Yes tired, because everywhere should bring dedek.”
Stevan smiled, then pulled Sky who was enjoying the chocolate cake closer to him, in order to hear his words.
“Capek anyway, yes, but a mother will sincerely sacrifice everything she has for her child. Pregnant for nine months, giving birth, not to mention having to take care of children. That's why, you have to respect a woman, especially Mama,” said Stevan, then take a look at the nose of Sky and Gervan alternately.
Sky and Gervan nodded in understanding.
“Elang will try not to make Mama disappointed, telus belususaha for happyin Mama,” said Sky spirit directly embraced by Gervan.
“Ste!”
The voice of the call from the wife made Stevan who was originally busy checking email reports from his assistant also turned his head.
“Why, Dear?” stevan asked and then refocused on his seemingly endless work.
Dara did not answer, she stepped closer to her husband, who was in bed, and sat down next to Stevan.
“Why?” rehash Stevan, glancing at his wife for a moment.
“After more ... Eagle birthday.”
The words made Stevan completely stop focusing on his work. The man closed his laptop, then put it on the nightstand.
“Sini,” pinta Stevan, waving so that Dara gets closer to him.
Dara nodded, inched towards the husband, then leaned her head on the chest of the man's field.
“The reason is still the same?” stevan asked who immediately got an answer in the form of a nod from Dara.
“I'm scared, Ste. The shadow of Kak Dira's face continues to be present on Eagle's birthday,” said Dara. Tears began to fall, hitting his cheeks.
Stevan pulled the corner of his lips slightly, his hand gently rubbing Dara's tear marks.
“Dar, there are times when the dark past continues to haunt us, making us difficult and afraid to move better forward. It will continue to be a shadow that makes us only be at that point; our broken point. He will not leave, until we are determined in our hearts, that we can be better again.”
Dara eyed Stevan's speech. His brain began to work looking for the meaning of each meaningless word. Yes, Dara admits, she is a cowardly woman who continues to live in a circle of dark shadows; the shadow where her beloved sister went after giving birth to her baby. That's the reason why, every birthday tabun Langit is only held in a simple—only invite large families only.
Dara still remembers, one year ago, the time where the birthday of the Sky.
Flashback.
Sky's round eyes looked at the mother sitting alone at the dining table, while others preferred to gather in the backyard. The little leg slowly began to step closer to the mother, then sat down next to the woman.
“Mama,” calls him, makes Dara immediately turn her head.
“Why, Dear?”
“Why is the birthday of the Eagle not celebrated like the friends of the Eagle who ngundang many ogang, Ma? Kan, Papa has a lot of money for the birthday of Eagle.”
The question made Dara stupefied. The woman's body was unmoved, her lips powerless to utter a word to answer the question of the little boy.
“Eh, but not papa, Ma. The eagle did not ask to be covered in asbestos. Eagles only peek, in the happiness of Eagles, the ogangs that Eagles love are transparent beside Eagles, Eagles are very happy,” said Sky with a big smile.
Just as Dara was about to answer, the presence of her husband made Dara undo her intentions.
“Kok is even here. Come on, Eagle with Mama, we follow them behind,” take Stevan, then lead his son and wife to the backyard.
Flashback.
Dara's tears returned to drip, as tight as it felt when remembering the incident. Honestly, Dara could not bear to see the sky became a victim of her fear. However, Dara can what, when the shadow of her brother's departure is more dominating than his sense of helplessness?
“From.”
Stevan's voice shattered his imagination. With a flash of lightning, Dara wiped her tears, then looked up, looking at Stevan's face right above her.
“Because, we cannot easily forget the past, but we can make the past as a motivation to be better in the future.” Stevan spoke again, wiping his wife's gentle mane.
“According to you .. Should we celebrate the massive birthday of the Eagle this time?” ask Dara skeptically. The woman covered her lips, waiting for an answer to come out of the husband's mouth.
The nod from Stevan made Dara close the word for a moment, then reopen it. Well, maybe it's time for him to make peace with the past.
“No need to be massive, just invite his friends Eagle, and some people nearby only. Anyway, you remember, ‘kan said Eagle, he does not need a lavish celebrated birthday, all he wants is, the people he loves are in his happy day.”
Dara nodded, then smiled faintly.
