"What does Elona like?" ask Aruna and get a headband from Elona.
"It's too big, mom. I'd look like a turtle if I put it on" the boy replied, creating his mother's laughter.
"Oh my goodness, baby. That's not possible. It looks great, if you wear it, it must be good. Elona wanna try?"
"Can you?"
"Of course you can, baby. Hold on, I'll get it."
Aruna picked up the bag she had just picked up.
While in the distance, a man looks dizzy looking to and fro in search of the figure of the person he is currently looking for. And as soon as his eyes caught the figure of the woman and the little boy seven meters away from him, he rushed over to them.
"Hi .." said the man who was none other than Haikal.
"Hi" Aruna replied.
"Hi, uncle," replied Elona.
"It's been a long time?"
"Not too long, yet" replied Aruna later.
Haikal saw Elona who was already wearing a pink bag on her back.
"Have you got the bag?"
"Just tried."
"Look, uncle. I look like a turtle, don't I?" ask the boy.
"Why does it look like a turtle?"
"The body is too big in my body. I'm like a turtle, right?"
Haikal honestly wanted to laugh, but he tried to hold it in as soon as Aruna shook her head giving a code.
"No, you're pretty wearing that bag."
"Uncle must be lying. Mom, I don't want this bag. I'd like to pick another one" whined Elona.
"What if uncle gets distracted?" haikal.
"May, but don't bag that makes me look like a turtle again uncle."
"Ready. Uncle must have picked a good one and a good one for Elona."
"You guys pick for uncle's daughter too?"
"Hm?" Haikal was surprised to hear Elona's question, then he turned to Aruna to understand her point.
"My daughter thinks you already have a family, so you're following us here to buy her a bag too" Aruna explained.
"Ohh ..." Haikal nodded in understanding.
Haikal bent his body slightly so that his standing was in line with Elona.
"Elona, gorgeous. Uncle has no daughter, baby. My uncle is not married either. So, uncle would just pick a bag for Elona."
"Yes, pretty."
"Then, Elona picked a bag with Haikal's uncle first, huh. I'm going to the toilet for a second. It's okay, baby?"
Elona nodded. "Yes, mom. It's okay."
"Kal, I'll drop Elona for a second is okay, right?"
"Yes, Aruna. Its alright. You take it easy, Elona will be safe with me."
"Thank you," Aruna said, then covered going to the toilet in the store.
There are only Elona and Haikal.
"Elona, let's go pick her bag over there, yuk!"
"Yes, come on uncle."
Haikal guided Elona's wrists, and they went to a place not far from there.
"What, this model Elona likes?"
"Like, uncle."
"Elona wants what color?"
Elona was silent for a moment while choosing what color was good.
"Young pink I've got, uncle. I want the purple one."
"Before, uncle get it first."
Haikal grabbed the bag hanging above, then he gave it to Elona to try it.
"Wow, this one fits in your body. Elona's not like a turtle anymore."
"Really, uncle?"
"Yes, you're so pretty wearing this bag. If you don't believe me, just ask me."
"Yes, after mom gets back, I'll ask her."
Elona removed the bag from her body, then hugged it in her arms.
Haikal was happy to see Elona happy. He felt more affection for the little boy.
"Well, how was your heart at school?" ask Haikal later.
"Funny. But a little sad too, uncle," said Elona, the boy's expression slightly changed.
"Sad why? Did anyone hurt Elona?"
Elona. "No, uncle. The day after tomorrow, there are more activities at school. My mom and dad were asked to come to school. But how can father and mother be present, while father and mother are no longer together."
Haikal was sad to hear that. How a boy of Elona's age can express his feelings about what happened to his parents.
