Pearls For Wood

Uncle Handsome

Bayu, Tiara and Mutiara have returned to continue their journey to the house of papa Ali. Not to forget they stopped by to pick up the tart cake that had previously been ordered by Tiara. Bayu parked his car smoothly in the yard of his in-laws' house. From inside the car can be seen clearly Mama Mila who was sitting alone on the porch chair of her home.

"Muti dear." cried Mama Mila who had seen the presence of her granddaughter who immediately ran towards her grandma and hugged her.

"Mama" said Tiara who then also kissed her cheeks and hugged her full of longing.

"Where's papa, ma?" asked Bayu after greeting his in-laws.

"Papa is going to Boutique, soon to be home too, son Bayu. Let's go in first! You guys how are you? Mama misses you three so much. Especially this beautiful, smart and adorable granddaughter of grandma." Pearl smiled at the compliment of the grandmother.

"Grandma is also beautiful. Mommy is also very beautiful. Isn't that right, daddy?" mutiara said that successfully made everyone laugh, Bayu nodded his head and pinched the two cheeks of his daughter's cabi. Tiara immediately went to the kitchen to make a drink. Bayu settled himself on the sofa in the middle room where there were Pearls and Mama Mila who were joking.

"Grandma, Muti bought a huge doll. Very big." said the Pearl of the spirit. "Daddy, where was Muti's new doll?" he asked the father.

"Still in the car, baby." replied Bayu casually.

"Take now daddy, Muti wants to use the same grandma!" whining Spoiled pearls.

"Muti, let daddy rest and drink first, baby? Later mommy will get it for Muti." said Tiara who had come out with a tray containing several cups of tea and slices of bronis on her plate and put it on the table where Bayu was.

"Ok mommy's. Do mommy and grandma know? Muti met a handsome uncle at the store where Muti bought a big doll."

"Handsome uncel? Who is it, baby?" mama Mila and Tiara asked almost at the same time.

"The muti? Muti can't be close to people Muti doesn't know, son!" tiara forbade the princess from getting close to strangers.

"Why so mommy, handsome uncle is good. Handsome Uncle who helped pick up the doll that Muti wanted. He's a very good grandma man. The handsome Uncle carried Muti's body, so Muti could reach for the doll that Muti wanted so easily." said Mutiara told him with so much enthusiasm.

"Sir Bayu, must not have noticed Muti earlier when I left him." grumbled Tiara who was heard by Bayu and Mama Mila.

"It's okay, baby, he's not a bad guy anyway. And you see, our beautiful daughter is fine." Bayu said calmly, Tiara exhaled violently.

"Then we are lucky, for he is not a bad man, brother Bayu! What if he kidnaps Muti and takes him away or does something bad to him? I promised to always take care of her."

"Tiara, come on, son. After all, said son Bayu, Muti is okay. Just make this a lesson for the future so that the two of you can be more careful in looking after Muti in the future." Mama Mila said.

"Honey, Muti wants to play at Rafa's house? Go, baby! Let mommy and daddy solve their problems." take Mama Mila.

"No grandma. I don't like Rafa. He's a very boring and very annoying friend too. Grandma knew she always kept me quiet when I asked her to play and let me play alone in her house. She's Grandma's bad friend." Tiara shook her head at her daughter's words.

"really? Too bad, Sherly was there."

"Sherley? Really grandma? Let's go there grandma, Muti wants to play with Sherly!" said Pearl pulling her grandma shirt.

"Mommy, daddy, Muti joined the grandma play to Sherly's house first yes, bye." said Pearl who started running small followed by Mama Mila behind her. Tiara nodded and went to the room to berberes while Bayu was still in the room watching television.

Arriving at Rafa's house, Mutiara ran and shouted Sherly's name repeatedly. However, her friend's little girl did not come out.

"Muti, don't yell baby, it's not polite! Come on over here, baby!" mama Mila's orders to hold her hand. The two enter the house of Rafa and Sherly who is the son and daughter of a husband and wife of Gerry and Rissa who are also neighbors mother Mila. Their house was actually next to each other but blocked three houses of the head of the family. The family lived for about three years. However, they're very close, and Sherly? The little girl, she prefers to stay in Jogja with her mother. Yeah, Rissa is her stepmother. However, she is not evil like most stepmothers who are on tv.

"Tante Mila, Muti?" said a woman less than thirty years old.

"Rissa Hallo aunty! Where's Sherly, aunty?"

"Muti, they're playing in the back yard, baby."

"Aunty Rissa, Muti can go there, right?"

"Sure, may love." Pearl immediately went running to her friend.

"Son Rissa, what's busy?"

"It's aunty, it's Sherly's birthday today, so she came here to celebrate with her brother here, aunt."

"Owh sorry, so interrupt Rissa's time."

"Tante does not need to hesitate, Rissa has done aunt Mila and family like her own brother. What's aunty gonna drink, tan?"

"Don't son Rissa, can auntie help you cook?"

"No need for aunty, there's been a lot of nanganin too."

"It's okay son, auntie is happy to help."

"Well if Aunt Mila doesn't mind."

Pearls running towards the backyard. However, he does not see Rafa or Sherly there.

"Where are the two of them? Aunty Rissa said they were in the back yard but why isn't anyone here?"

"Dorrr!" The pearls were shocked.

"Rapha? Why are you surprising me?"

"Why are you here? What are you looking for? You lookingforme? I'm not gonna play with you."

"Wait on! I came here because I wanted to meet and play with Sherly! Not yourself! Where is he, Rafa?"

"He's not here! Can't you see it?"

"Where is it possible? Grandma said Sheyla came here, and aunty Rissa also said that you guys were playing in the back yard."

"Come with me!" Rafa grabbed Pearl's wrist and held her.

"Rafa wait, where are we going?" Rafa did not answer until he arrived in front of a room door.

"Rafa, let's play outside! Mommy said, we can't go in anybody's room." The pearls hit Rafa's arm rough.

"You're a rough little girl." Rafa spoke coldly. "Look! You said you wanted to see Sherly, didn't you?" The pearl immediately nodded its head rapidly over and over again. "Sherly is in this room! She's trying on a dress for her birthday party later in the afternoon." explains Rafa.

"Sherly's birthday today? Why do I know this now?"

"certain. You never want to ask me or Sherly? And this is the first time she's celebrating with us here."

"You didn't take the initiative to tell me either."

"How will I be mem- . . .."

"Hey, Muti? Are you here?" said a girl who had been standing at the door. Which makes Rafa unable to finish his sentence.

"Sherly, I miss you" said the Pearl who immediately hugged him.

"And you don't miss me?" sahut Rafa before Sherly gives an answer.

"What you say?" Rafa had no taste in responding to Pearl's question. He left the two with heavy steps.

"Why him?" ask Sherly.

"Just leave him. Men are confusing. Sometimes he will be angry indistinctly, sometimes also bewit, and there are still many sometimes others. Yes, he is even like an adult man who likes to snack at the age of nine years. I'm not sure he'll grow up handsome when he grows up, because there will be a lot of wrinkles on his face." said Pearl who heard the girl friend. "Ehm, Sherly? You're having a birthday today?" coined.

"Yes, Muti. Come on in, I'll show you the dress I'll wear at the party!"

"No." reject Pearl. "I mean later, Sherly. I just remembered that there was something I had to take. I go home to Sherly's and I promise I'll be back soon." Pearl walked away from the girl and stepped out of the house without going to see her grandmother first who was with Rissa in the kitchen.

"Brukkk!" Pearls hit a person's body while running, until his body fell thickly on the ground.

"I'm sorry!" said the person who was hit by a pearl while still staring at the surface of the ground. A large hand was stretched out before the face of the little girl.

"Handsome uncle?" mutiara was shocked when she looked at the handsome face of the adult man she had met at the Mall this morning at Rafa's house.

"Sister, who is he?" ask a grown woman standing behind him. "Little boy, when running use both your eyes as well as your feet! Fortunately, you yourself fell and got hurt. What if someone else has to bear the injury because of you?" he said he railed against the Pearl that has now stood.

"Shut up!" the handsome uncle's annoyance stared intently at the adult woman with him.
