Papa's Little Daughter

Delicious Martabak

Author's POV

Shan is currently playing with Salsa and Jimmy in the TV room, unattended by Chandra. The man chose to sleep in his room because he was sleepy. Maybe due to not sleeping overnight because it takes care of Shan whose body temperature rises.

The goddess of the grandmother came from the direction of another room. "Hey let's Salsa brother Jimmy change clothes first, tomorrow the uniform is still worn again."

Jimmy, the 8-year-old boy. He went straight to his room. And Salsa...

"Entar ti, I'm still playing this."

The goddess could see for herself the two little girls playing balloons, moving the air-filled object as if it was lifeless and able to speak.

"Our Ayoo Elsa will slide off the snowy hill. Lt'soooo!"

"Wuss wuss.." - Timpal Shan.

The goddess could only shake her head, well this middle-aged woman would wait until her granddaughter caught her guard and wanted to change clothes.

It was like that if Shan and Salsa had played, they would have forgotten everything. Especially if you've talked about his second favorite cartoon, Frozen. Hmm can be until the day after tomorrow.

But the name of the child, not every time they will get along like this. There's gonna be...

"Aaakh the brother of Salsa!"

Hmm when the talk has begun.

"Hayoo, what's wrong?" The goddess began to mediate between her two granddaughters.

"Salsa asked Shan's Elsa to. He's mean." said Shan, complaining.

"Ihhh don't know. Shan bo'ong ti." elak Salsa.

"Udah... Let's play again."

Both of these kids are playing again. But not like a while ago. The quarrels caused them to limit themselves to each other. They turned their backs on each other, cool on their own balloons. These two kids are in the middle of a cold war.

The Goddess smiled at the tickling action they did, "It's important not to fight.", he murmured.

Jimmy, who had changed his clothes, joined the TV room. He sat his ass next to his grandmother. The boy began to reach for a thread tied to the edge of the chair. That's the thread from his spiderman balloon.

Yes, Chandra bought 3 balloons at once. Chandra actually didn't want to, he wanted to buy just one for Shan. But Shan shook his head, he asked Chandra to buy for Salsa and Jimmy as well. Shan was really very pushy. The little boy always remembered his two cousins who lived in one house with him. Always remember.

"Stek change clothes first dong, later the uniform smells wry" said Jimmy.

"Judah, I'll change my clothes first." As usual Salsa only obeyed if the one who ruled was her brother.

As much as Salsa now Dewi approached Shan who was still playing. "Shan's... Mik medicine first yuk, keep playing again, okay?"

"But this morning out of doctor Shan already mik mik drug loh ti."

"Mik the medicine was three times a day Shan. You weren't horrified just now when the doctor said? Ihhh cool eating mulu candy earlier ya." The goddess rubbed the little boy's cheeks with anxiety.

"Udah yuk mik medicine first, let mopet Shan recover."

Shan then grabbed the grandmother's hand. The goddess then took her granddaughter to the dining room.

Because the medicine is syrup and tastes orange so Shan likes to drink it. Two do not need to be held tightly or until it must be checked the girl has taken drugs easily. The important thing is that the medicine is not bitter, Shan said.

"I'm playing again!" shan exclaimed who immediately ran towards the TV room again. But it had not reached the place where the small footsteps were immediately choked.

"My Aakkh Elsa!" his yell.

Shan turned so furious that his Elsa balloon had been in Salsa's hands. No, Salsa wasn't borrowing it, surely Salsa would...

"NO!" jeremy Shan. Shan was about to take back the balloon but Salsa wouldn't allow it. Until finally there was a struggle between the two.

Jimmy who was in that place didn't care at all. The popcorn in his lap and the TV shows up ahead are much more interesting.

"Aackh..." Instantly Shan's hand grip on the thread just slipped off. Now the balloon has been owned by Salsa.

Shan grimaced feeling the pain as well as the heat that lingered in his palm. Shan looked up to check towards his palm and turned out... Has flushed.

Shan desperately wanted to cry right now, but he ended up undoing the intention. He doesn't want to look weak in front of Salsa and Jimmy. They will make fun of him.

The little boy could finally just stay. He slowly grabbed Anna's balloon that had been left behind by Salsa, then chose to go to the corner of the room. Sitting alone there while hugging the balloon tightly. Unknowingly, he fell asleep in such a position.

Shan's whereabouts no one will know. Salsa, Jimmy's second cousin was not going to see because of obstructed sofa.

About 30 minutes later, Shan finally woke up. Not awakened by his own will but rather by surprise to hear the loud voices of his two cousins.

What are the two cousins doing? What are they talking about exactly?

Shan rose from his position. And it turns out that both of his cousins are no longer in the TV room. Whether they were where they were now, Shan grew curious.

Shan continued to follow the direction of the voice, and it turned out that the voice was from the dining room. Shan didn't join in there. He just peeked behind the wall.

Salsa and Jimmy were there. There was Yola too, the mother of the two children. Shan then muttered, 'Tante Yola has come home...'

Shan's gaze was sidetracked at something that was on the dining table. 'What's that? By-by yes? Looks delicious...'

"That's delicious ma, my favorite strawberry flavor. There's chocolate as well as sister's favorite!" peekik Salsa while eating it.

"Other times we buyin martabak again ma."

'Oh his name is martabak...' Shan finally found out the name of the food after hearing Jimmy say.

Shan actually really wanted to join there. Try tasting that delicious martabak too. Unfortunately, no one told him to. Finally Shan just stayed in place. Keep peeking at his two cousins who are very greedy eating the food.

"Where did you buy this martabak?"

"Buy in the mall baby."

"Huhhhhhhhhhh mama went to the mall? Ish why am I the same brother Jimmy not invited anyway?"

"Haha, you're still in school. Tomorrow tomorrow, on Sunday you will take me to the mall. Promise."

"Yesayyy!!" pekik Shan from where he was.

Yola, Salsa and Jimmy frowned and threw one another's gazes.

"Shan can't wait for Sunday to come to the mall."

"But you weren't invited by Shan! Huss there go!" expel Salsa.

'Come on that...' Shan did not give up, now he stepped over to the aunt.

"Aunty aunt, Shan was allowed to come to the mall, right?" ask him with very clear eyes.

"I-yes I can..."

"JEAYYY!" Shan hugged Yola's body. "Thank you aunt..."

Salsa immediately snorted bitterly, but Shan did not care at all, he instead stuck his tongue out at her before leaving.

"Udah, eat something. Abisin's hammer." tell Yola to his two children.
