On An Island

Longs

"Well I agree, from today on we are friends" Corazon replied.

Aves took her back to his house. And they were greeted by Aves' mother who was already waiting for their arrival.

"Mama I brought a friend to have lunch with us here. Can, right?" ask Aves.

"Of course I can. Come on in, mama's been cooking a lot today."

Mama Aves took Corazon's hand and said, "Thankfully you're fine. Thank you for saving me. I'm sorry I haven't been able to see the big guy's condition."

"My papa? That big man is my papa. Take it easy, my papa is very strong.Now he will be cured soon."

"I also apologize for bothering you. For thinking you are my son."

"I'm not too troubled, eating food that aunty cooks every day" Corazon replied.

He could only look at it from his point of view. As long as he was the fake child of that woman.

The woman who gave birth to Aves heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. Then pull Cresen in and followed by Aves. The envy of the first time the child was close to his mother was no more.

Arriving at the dining table, Mama Aves immediately pulled food out of the cupboard. Assisted by Aves. Not knowing why Corazon felt something that made him troubled.

The feeling became clearer when he saw the closeness of Aves and his mother. Then it looked like she was going to cry. At that time Aves did not understand why the boy wanted to cry. He thought it was because of the food on the plate.

"Hey, don't cry. I'll add the food for you" said Aves. While pouring his own food into the plate Corazon.

Corazon looked like a child who had broken down in tears because his wish was fulfilled. Seeing that Aves thought of a nosy idea by exchanging his empty plate. Take a fully loaded plate of Corazon.

Seeing that, Aves' mother patted the back of his son's hand. While Corazon who had seemed to cancel crying became really crying. Aves laughed happily. Then give the plate full filled.

It felt like I had a new toy. And think how exciting it would be if he had a younger brother.

"Oh, don't cry. I'm just kidding. Let's eat a lot. Let you grow tall like me," Aves persuaded with a small laugh.

While his mother shook her head looking at his son. Then he persuaded Corazn to eat. But the boy did not stop crying. He was crying more and more.

For a moment, he kept silent and put food in his mouth. Then she cried again with her mouth full of food. For a moment he fell silent again, chewing his food slowly. But she came back crying after swallowing the food.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying again? Is the food too spicy?" ask mama Aves.

Aves took the tissue in front of him and cleaned the liquid that almost dripped onto Cresen's lips.

"Well, this kid. His personality is really hard to guess. Crying like a baby" murmured Aves.

"Have it. Let's eat right. I'll give you a gift when the food's over. Let's say, what gift do you want?"

"I. want my mama." replied Corazon, weeping.

Mama Aves and Aves finally realized that the boy was jealous. He also wanted the attention of his mother. Unfortunately, the attention of Aves' mother could not replace the attention of Corazon's own mother. The boy kept crying until the last mouthful.

Although while eating he was accompanied by Mama Aves and Aves himself. It was as if a baby was being cared for by two caregivers. Where one feeds while the other coaxes him.

After finishing eating Corazon stopped crying. Aves gave him an unpeeled orange. Corazon took the orange and peeled it. Seeing that the boy was calm, then Aves and his mother ate.

They can only be silent when they see Corazon busy with his activities. He peeled off all the oranges in the fruit basket. Then put it on the table. After all the peeling he moved to the banana. Then do the same with the bananas.

"I've gone" replied Corazon.

Although he replied casually, but he did not look at his interlocutor at all. Corazn peeled the banana peel with a very serious face. And very carefully. As if he was afraid to make a mistake when peeling the banana. But he didn't eat it.

"Then why are you peeling everything?" ask Aves again.

"For both of you. Can't you peel it off, so let me do it for you" Corazn said.

After saying so, he picked up the oranges one by one. Then put it on the plate Aves and his mother alternately. Then he continued the same thing on the banana he peeled.

"Why not eat?" corazon asked as he watched the two fall silent.

"I'm full" answered Aves, repeating Corazn's reply.

Mom Aves took one orange and ate it.

"The orange you peeled tastes very sweet," praised Mama Aves to Corazon.

Corazon finally smiled proudly.

"If Auntie wants to eat oranges, tell me. Let me peel the skin for aunt."

Hearing Corazon's childish reply Aves could only sigh in annoyance.

"Huh... just praised a little direct au....!" shouted Aves whose foot was stepped on by his mother.

Then her mother looked at her with glaring eyes. Aves was just throwing his face away. He drew words that thought having a younger brother was exciting. Now she knows how hard it is to be a sister. And thank her destiny which is only an only child.

After that Aves' mother told Aves and Corazon to go to the living room. While he will clean the dishes and others. Even when Aves wanted to help he refused.

"No need. Go accompany him. Do not leave guests alone. It's not polite" said the mother.

Aves went with Corazon to the front room. But after there the two did not know what to do. There's nothing they want to talk about. Until Corazn finally resigned.

Both of Corazon's eye beads were red. But as he retreated his eyes had become his second blue. It turned out that Corazn fell asleep after feeling a fullness without Aves noticing.

"Wait, if I may know... How do you change the color of your eye bead?" ask Aves curiously.

Cresen looked at Aves as he felt that even if he answered honestly, it would be difficult for his interlocutors to accept him.

"I did magic" Cresen said later.

Aves. Then he frowned, laughed slowly and then became more and more open. And speechless. Sighs.

"Ah, stop. I shouldn't have asked that. Oh, you want to go home, right? Do I need to take you? Wait, I'll call mama first. Ma's... Corazn wants to go home...!"

"Going home? Corazn want to go home?" ask the woman. Which turned out to have finished cleaning the tableware.

"Yes aunt. Excuse me first" replied Cresen calmly.

Makes the woman widen her eyes. Because in just a short time, the crybaby while at the dinner table becomes very mature.
