The extra part 1

"Dad, is it safe to hide here? I was afraid of being caught by mommy and then mommy dragged me to eat the banyan tree" whispered a little boy down next to the father who escaped. Look over and over here to see if it's safe or not.

"Banyan tree?" Daniel raised an eyebrow. He had no idea what his little son was saying.

Arlo's head nodded innocently. "Yes. Broccoli is like a banyan tree."

"Oh, broccoli. Daddy thinks what a banyan tree. Don't you like vegetables? Why would I run away like this?"

"I like vegetables, but not broccoli." Arlo stuck out his tongue with a sour face, "it felt bitter and unpleasant. Like eating a banyan tree."

"Have you ever eaten a banyan tree?" ask Daniel carefully while listening to his son's story. He thought the boy next to him was funny.

"Earlier," answered Arlo innocently.

"Early?" Next to Daniel's eyebrows raised.

"Ah, it's because I'm curious how it feels, so I tried a leaf alone." Arlo.

"Why do you eat leaves, huh? Is there no food?" daniel asked in shock. How can a child eat leaves? Sounds pretty ridiculous.

"Casualties, Dad. I was also learning to classify leaves by their shape, so I ate them." Arlo smiled until he showed his white teeth neatly arranged. "uh, but at that time I was caught by mommy and scolded. Then he was told to eat broccoli."

Daniel nodded in understanding. "Yes, your question is completely different, yeah, Arlo."

"Daddy why did you run away? Did mommy tell Daddy to eat something?" ask Arlo confused. At first it was only him who ran away, but suddenly he was pulled by the father and invited to hide in the garden behind the house near the pool.

"Mmm, that was because I saw you run away." Daniel whispered, "actually Daddy doesn't like broccoli either."

"really?" Arlo's mouth was instantly silenced by Daniel as the boy spoke loudly.

"Hussst, don't be so tight. Your mommy will hear it" Daniel said.

"Why doesn't Daddy like broccoli?" ask Arlo curiously.

"Because ... the shape is already boring, let alone it feels nothing. Tasteless." Daniel shook his head, as if to say that it didn't feel that good.

"Are there really triangular broccoli, Dad?" ask Arlo curiously.

"There was. Triangles, jajargenjang, trapezoid was there," said someone from behind interrupting the two children and the father who was discussing it.

"Eh, Mommy," said Arlo, grimacing.

"Darling, it's been there a long time?" Daniel also said hello. He was actually scared of being caught like this.

Alin just kept quiet while tapping his feet in the courtyard regularly so that his voice sounded rhythmic. Staring sharply at the two humans who always made him ride the apitam.

"Arlo, why did you run away just because you were told to eat broccoli? In the past, you did not want to refuse food" said Alin.

"Arlo doesn't like broccoli, Mom." Arlo bowed, before being pulled by Daniel and hidden behind his father's body.

"Alright, Honey. There are other vegetables. Arlo doesn't like that there's a reason" said Daniel. Not prolonging this problem. Besides, there is still vitamin or nutritional support from other vegetables.

Alin squinted, looking at her husband who was defending Arlo. "I got suspicious that you taught Arlo to be naughty like this, Niel."

"No. Who taught him to be naughty? Arlo's not naughty. Is that right, honey?" daniel asked, looking at Arlo behind him. Daniel already knew that his son was a little afraid, seen from the clothes he was wearing felt a little pulled.

"When you were with Mommy, you were never like this, Arlo. Since coming and living with Daddy your attitude has changed." Alin unsheathed a look of intimidation to Arlo who was hiding behind Daniel's body.

"Honey," Daniel stopped. Because he knew his son would be sad to hear that talk.

"Sup now. Mommy doesn't want to force you anymore" Alin said before leaving. Without any further word left a strange look from Daniel.

Arlo comes out of hiding with a gloomy face, looking up to see the father next to him. "Is mommy angry, Dad?"

"No, Honey. Mommy just said don't ask you to eat any more broccoli. That means now you no longer need to eat broccoli" replied Daniel sincerely.

"really?"

"really. Mommy won't be mad. Mommy is just a little tired so say it like that. Does Mommy look like an angry person?" ask Daniel.

"I've seen mommy get angry and it's really creepy, Dad," Arlo said.

"Listen to Daddy, mommy's not mad. So, Arlo don't be sad, okay?"

"Yes, Dad."

Daniel nodded with a smile. Gently stroked his son's head. Daniel himself had no idea what had happened to his wife. It's not usually sensitive like this.
