Papa To Kirana

Chapter 28 Video Calls

“Mother heard yesterday Kirana was kidnapped? Is that true, Balin?” ask me via video call.

I sighed, “Mom knows where?” is from

“Rama the story.”

Ah Rama's. I glanced at my sister who was sitting eating a snack of potatoes. He returned my glances.

While his mouth continued to chew, he raised both eyebrows, a sign he was asking what was wrong.

But I ignored it. My eyes returned to the mobile screen.

“Mother just relax. Kirana is okay.”

“That's not the case, Balin.”

“Lantas?”

“Mother's Speech is correct, right? You better get married soon so that someone takes care of Kirana at home and you focus on working.”

“Mother, I am married to find a wife, someone who will be my life companion. Not someone I would make babu.”

From across the phone there, Mom sighed. Then, I saw Father who was accidentally recorded on camera passing behind Mom.

As usual, I switched the conversation by asking the news. However, Mother this time has memorized this trick of mine.

Out of nowhere, Rama was already behind my head.

“Mother, yesterday Brother Balin was sick and treated with Kak Alexa,” said Rama suddenly.

I pushed Rama's shoulder straight to the floor. But he was even laughing.

“Is that true, Balin? You sick?”

“And Kirana too, Mom,” Rama reappeared behind me.

“Can be silent no? get in there to your room!” I snapped at the giggling Rama.

“Well, Balin,” says Soft mom. “If you get married more or less that's how it feels. Someone takes care of when you and Kirana are sick.”

I ruffled my hair in frustration.

Mom was raving about the picture if I got married. But my ears did not catch Mom's words, my mind just floated thinking about Alexa.

A moment later, Alexa and I pulled each other's t-shirts back in my mind. It was an event that in the end he hit me and we looked at each other at the closest distance.

Then the memory in my brain moved, twisting the moment when Alexa fed the porridge.

I didn't realize I was smiling considering the incident.

“Balin, you heard Mom didn't?” reprimand the Mother who broke my daydream.

“Ah Yes, Mom. Hmm What did Mom say?”

Mom sighs again, “Mom asks, what is Alexa's favorite food ?”

“Hah? Whahuh? Where do I know, Ma.”

“Yes, that's why you find out. Ask on Alexa.”

“What do you want? Until I have to ask her favorite food Alexa?”

“Mommy wants to cook Alexa's favorite food, as a sign of gratitude because she has taken care of you when you are sick.”

“No need, Mom. I myself will also be planning to buy Alexa dinner.”

“Yes, but this is special from Mom. Uh, what did you say? Dinner?” ask Mother dumbfounded

I twisted my eyeballs and took a deep breath. Regretting that she had been speechless, she finally found out that Alexa and I were going to dinner.

From where I was sitting, I saw the door to Rama's room slightly open. Surely that silly sister was eavesdropping behind the door.

“Balin, are you and Alexa going on a date? Over where? When's? I suggest you find a romantic place like... “

“Mother,” call me cut Mother's words.

“Me and Alexa are only planning dinner. Not dating.”

Kirana's cry sounded from inside my room. He had already woken up from his nap, apparently.

“Mother, sorry to call you later. Kirana wake up.”

“Don't forget to ask Alexa's favorite food, I wait for the answer.” said Mom before the phone is turned off.

Tut's.

 

 

“I have Kirana with you, Rama. But remember! Even though I'm allowing Alexa to play with Kirana, you need to keep a proper eye on her. Don't be as late as that time.”

“Iya, Brother. I will take care of Kirana more than I take care of myself,” Rama said confidently.

“I hold your sayings!”

Then I turned to Kirana who was playing a stuffed rabbit. Crouching my eyes with Kirana. He's babbling.

Now his chatter is becoming more and more clearly heard. Baba, papa, chest. I don't know what that means.

I kissed Kirana on the forehead and said goodbye before I went to work. Alexa will be here soon.

Geck. Geck. Geck.

Tuh right? What did I say too?

Alexa walked into my house and she greeted Kirana as usual.

“Kak Alexa has gone home to teach?” ask Rama.

“She is now here, yes of course has finished teaching,” I chimed in tightly.

“Ye, I'm just a stale base. It can't be?”

“Kirana, Papa stay first. Later Papa try to go home quickly. Don't fuss huh?” I said to Kirana.

“Feelings, Brother already said those words almost ten times in one day.”

“Shut up!”

Alexa who watched me argue with Rama just shut her mouth holding back a laugh.

When I was in the car, I turned once again into the house. Alexa stood in the doorway holding Kirana whose hand was waving towards me.

I smiled and replied to Kirana. When my eyes met with Alexa, I nodded stiffly. Then I set up the car.

On the way to the restaurant, my phone rang. One phone call came in from Frans.

“Halo, Balin. You went to a restaurant today?” ask Frans.

“Yes, this is me on the road. What's up?”

“I can't go to your restaurant today. Suddenly my mother asked me to meet her best friend. So, I want to ask you please can you check the turnover report for this month?”

“Oh, fine. I will check as soon as I arrive at the restaurant,” while I am silent.

Doubt to speak.

“Hmm, Frans, I want a reservation at your restaurant in Block H. Can you contact your employees there? I need a table for two,” I said while focusing on driving.

“For today?”

“Yes, tonight. Eight o'clock at night. If you can choose a table that has a good view.”

“Oh, who will you have dinner with, if you may know? Why not at your own restaurant?” frans asked, who was beginning to wonder.

“My restaurant is only a small restaurant,” I replied briefly.

Actually I just don't want my employees to misunderstand me about my relationship with Alexa.

Later even spread rumors that are not.

“Oke, okay. I'll get you a table. ”

The phone call was closed, just as I got in front of my restaurant.

As Frans ordered, I headed for a special room for employees. Take some restaurant financial report documents.

Half an hour struggling with dozens of sheets of paper, I concluded, there was some ambiguous data. Especially in restaurant spending.

I slammed the ballpoint pen into the table. Exhaling a breath of air.

I had to call Dian and Ela, as the restaurant cashier to get more detail in writing down the restaurant expenses.

But I undo the intention, because I immediately remembered Kirana. So I decided to call Rama via video call.

What is Kirana doing now? My mind while waiting for the phone to be picked up from across.

The one who picked up the phone was not Rama, but Alexa. Her always cheerful face filled my phone screen.

Suddenly I felt electrocuted.
