"I want to take a bath with Elsa Pa."
Chandra frowning.
A shower? Same Rosa?
"Papa Shan." Chandra continued to strip Shan of her clothes.
"Oh papa, Shan wants to play water with Elsa's sister. Anyway Shan wants to take a bath with Elsa! Brother Elsa! Brother Elsa! Ogah same papa!"
Rosa fell silent, watching from the corner. Chandra looked at the woman at a glance and then turned back to her little daughter.
"Shan, Brother Elsa can't bathe Shan, either papa yuk nak. Come on, baby, the water's freezing."
"YAHOOOO!!!!"
Chandra sighed. He knows very well if the little boy is now just acting crying. Look, no tears come out at all.
"Huhhhhhhhhhhh... Yaudah Shan is being held by Elsa's sister."
"Yeyyyyy!" pekik Shan was very happy.
And it turns out that the simple ability to bathe a small child is not controlled by Rosa. Inevitably Chandra finally intervened, helping along.
"Here papa, papa come out. Shan just wants to be with Elsa." Shan kicked his papa out. Shan brushed off Chandra's hand many times. But Chandra did not give up.
Chandra took over the soap that was in Rosa's hands, then soaked the little boy deftly.
"Aww papa, sick. Papa hurt Shan."
"Shan, it's just let all your legs wear off."
Shan whined again. He asked his brother Elsa alone to soothe him, for his brother Elsa was softer unlike Chandra.
"Well, hunt rinses this boy Rosa." Chandra orders.
Rosa nodded then pointed the dipper towards Shan.
"Hey! Don't go high dong! Watch out for it in his ears!" Chandra reflexes screaming.
"Ma—maaf." said Rosa.
"Ish gini is not good. Here's the dipper." Chandra grabs the dipper and tells Rosa to get out of the bathroom. This time Shan could not prevent it, Shan himself was scared to see the changes that had happened to his papa's expression.
"It seems like papa is angry."
......***......
Rosa's POV
My incompetence turns out not only in bathing small children, but there are many other things.
I deeply apologize to Chandra for not being able to dress up for Shania.
Yeah, I just got yelled at by Chandra. I don't know if I have to put Shania eucalyptus oil on first before putting her on a shirt.
I finally stayed away. Now all I can do is stand in the usual place, which is the corner.
I just kept quiet as I watched Chandra comb Shania's hair over the bed. I really wanted to help her, at least choose which hair tie Shania would wear or something else. Yet... I don't dare.
"Udah is ready. Sitting in the henhouse here is Shan, papa wants to make you breakfast" said Chandra who then rushed to tidy up Shania's grooming shop into contact again. After finishing Chandra then went towards the pantry to make Shania breakfast as you said.
"Chandra let me help you."
Chandra turned his gaze toward me. When viewed from the look on his face, it seemed that the man did not believe me who would help him.
"Take Shan there. I can alone Sa." said Chandra who now takes a phone from the wall hangers.
Chandra won't let me help her. Well I won't force.
I then walked towards Shania who was on the bed.
"What's Shania doing?" my many.
"Barbie sister. Here brother sit here, let's play together." Shania patted the bed she occupied. He told me to sit in the available space. I also sat there immediately.
Shania then offered me a barbie. I saw the toy that resembled a human. "Barbie's beautiful, like Shania."
Shania put on her smile for me and then directed the other barbie, who was in her hand, to come closer. "Now it's Elsa's brother. This one's got Shan, his name's Jeny. If you have a sister by whose name?"
"Huh? The twins? Are those Elsa's twin sisters?"
"Twin means the same. One brother. Brothers but born in one mother's womb, and at the same time."
"So there's a baby in the stomach directly 2?"
I'm nodding. "It can be more than 2. Can be a lot of Shani."
"Wahhhhhh, so cool, it means to be a mom."
Deg.
My heart was pounding when he said that.
Shania, but sorry... This mama isn't as cool as the other mama out there. I feel like I want to cry now.
I'm so sorry, Shania. Very very sorry.
"Stop stops. Play it in stop first, now it's time to fill up the gas so there's power." Chandra comes with a meal that sits on a tray, complete with a glass of milk as well.
I immediately upheld the way I sat, erasing the emotional feeling I was about to spill.
"Wahh what's papa cooking? It smells so good." Shania was already impatiently opening the hood that covered the food on the tray.
Chandra with immediate enthusiasm...
"LANGUAGE... Shan's favorite omelet!"
Shania clapped her hands cheerfully. The little boy was very happy to see what Chandra was serving.
I am so happy to see this interaction. Unknowingly my smile expanded instantly, and was finally caught by Chandra. "Why are you smiling?" search after finding me.
Shania is looking at me now.
I immediately blushed in shame.
...***...
"Warung area of the hospital where good food continues to be cheap? Laper."
I looked towards Chandra at a glance. The guy was talking to me or just talking to himself? Because both of his attention had been on the phone screen, but his mouth continued to sound. I who was next to him was confused, he was between talking to me or not.
"Let's find food, but Shan's sleeping."
Now he just shook my hand all of a sudden.
We both walked out of Shania's room. The boy is okay to be left alone. Just now he brushed it off, there hasn't been five minutes. It seemed like he was full because he had just had a lot of breakfast. Chandra said that if Shania's stomach is full, her sleep will be very slumbering and last a long time.
It is safe to be left alone.
"Eh I know a stall that's good food, across the street from Chan. Yesterday I tried."
"What shop? Didn't you eat from Dr Hans yesterday?"
Immediately I was struck by Chandra's words. How did he know I was given food from Shania's doctor?
"Emm, I mean um I tried it."
"Ih even though I have told you to eat my mother's cooking food but you refuse, your alesan is still full.
Oh, I was wrong again...
I refused Chandra's mother's cooking last night. But that doesn't mean anything. It's just... I pity to see the side dishes left inside the bushel stay only a little. I thought it was just enough for Chandra, so I refused to let Chandra eat.
And last night I was starving, in the middle of the night I was out of the hospital and went to the stall to buy food.
"Where is the stall? Cepet show." Chandra's orders.
I pointed with my thumb a small stall across the street. Indeed many rows of other stalls, but the most I believe is only that stall. Neat and clean.
"Pesenin that you eat semalem, the same as drinking iced tea" said Chandra who had taken a seat facing the window.
He really reminds me of old times.
