The Fate that is Overlooked
72
The days felt easier for Ajeng and Barata to live. They are no longer awkward when they are together, more relaxed, flowing, more able to express their feelings. Sometimes they also walk the three to fulfill Ashila's wishes, taking time in the midst of the extraordinary bustle of Barata.
Ajeng was no less busy, he was often paired with Satrio doctors for cooperation, doing MoU* with PAUD schools to attend parenting invitations along with walimurids.
Barata and Ajeng are still both silent about their commitments, both from Holy Mother and Bu Sukma. Although they both know that Bu Sukma already knows about Barata to Ajeng's feelings and his past stories.
Today Ajeng and Satrio schedule a visit at the Mentari Play Group. The early childhood school was in a village not far from the hospital.
When they arrived, they were greeted by the headmaster and an energetic young teacher. Maybe his age is as good as Ajeng.
"Asalamualaikum." Ajeng gave their greetings, while Satrio who was different Religion from them just cupped his hands in front of his chest, and Ajeng shook the hands of the two women of other generations.
"Walaikumsalam, Wah Bu Doctor and Mr. Doctor, please come in here. "
"Include Me Bu Genti, the principal here, and this is my colleague, Ms. Rena. "
Bu Genti as the headmaster introduced himself and his teacher.
"Oh yes, Mom. " Ajeng smiled welcoming Bu Genti's hospitality.
"Mothers of the guardians are waiting for Doc, please just go straight into the class. " Mum Genti invited Ajeng Dan Satrio to enter the class that already contains the guardian of students who will attend parenting activities today.
Just now Ajeng is about to enter, his phone is ringing. Incoming call from Papa Ashila. He immediately breathed a long breath.
"Dok, please open first yes, there is an urgent call. " Ajeng whispered towards Satrio.
"Who? Director sir? " Godnya.
Ajeng showed his phone to Satrio who responded with a headband.
"yes briefly. " His speech passed, looking for a not-so-busy place to take a call.
"Yes, Asalamualaikum. " His voice was with the voice of greeting from across.
"What's wrong? " he continued.
"Busy too? lunch with Shila. "
It's Barata's habit to talk directly to the point, maybe to shorten the time.
"I don't think I can Bar, I'm the same doctor Satrio pa..."
"Yes, yes "
tutt...
The call ended, before he finished his words.
"It must be angry. " Murm Ajeng.
Ajeng sent a message.
"I'm the same Doctor Satrio again ngisi parenting at school, do not know what time the show is running, I will tell you again yes" . Write it in a short message.
He activated the silent mode, then put his phone into the pocket of the suit.
Ajeng walked back to the room where he held parenting. The theme of parenting today is to educate children with love according to their nature. He who will later fill a lot of material, while Satrio who will detect the growth and development of children with village midwives who are also presented.
Ajeng provides a filling about early childhood education, where the nature of children aged 2-6 years is to learn while playing, playing, more emphasis on parents so as not to check children to be smart to read write and count, because for all that, there will be time.
Instilling good habits, moral character and emotional social reinforcement in children at that age is very important, because good behavior attitude, must be applied as early as possible in order to become a habit of child behavior. Later when children grow up, they will be mingled with general knowledge, it is not impossible to learn adab and moral aqidah will be reduced even more can be eliminated.
Ajeng also advised young mothers to be more independent of children in learning, giving freedom to children to be creative according to the imagination and thinking of children. Parents just direct, the rest let the child's brain develop with stimulus from parents and objects that are around the child.
"Little example, when the child is coloring must be the mother always pestered right? black hair, blue deck time? "
"Mother forget yes if now the modern era hair can change color? "
"Daun chocolate time deck? is that a rose blue? isn't it the red deck? "
"Mother forgot that the withered leaves are brown? and the rose is now not only red and white as when we were little, now advanced technology, cross-breeding of plants has been done. "
"So let's support our children. If not us, who else? it can't be a neighbor, right?"
Ajeng spoke at length, providing a real example that is indeed a lot of common among young mothers.
The boisterous voice of the doubtful mothers allowed the words of Ajeng to make the atmosphere come alive, many of the reactions Ajeng saw from the faces of the people in front of him who listened to his words.
There are those who ria, some are wrinkled deep, some are whispering directly next to him, some are smiling widely. There are even those who can't wait to ask, until finally Bu Rena hastened the question and answer session.
"Please mothers, if anyone wants to ask the doctor Ajeng is ready to answer the questions of all mothers." Ms. Rena opened the question and answer session.
The question and answer session was done long enough, looking happy twinkle from the participants after getting the new knowledge conveyed by Doctor Satrio and Ajeng. A straightforward explanation and indeed discussing what has always been the problem of mothers in their daily lives turned out to make them addicted to carrying out similar activities again. Even Ajeng reached his mobile number by several walimurids to consult further.
Not a few also ask that this parenting is sustainable. In order to further increase knowledge for mothers in nurturing and cooperating their children in playing.
" Doctor, please have lunch first, already prepared by the caretaker mothers. " Bu Genti approached Ajeng and Satrio who were cleaning their equipment.
"Oh yes ma'am. " Satrio replied in the follow Ajeng who nodded his head.
"This goes straight to the hospital again, Doc? " Ajeng asked, as he reached into his suit pocket, looking at his phone.
