"With a shower, son."
The shout echoed in the large two-story house belonging to the small Ara family. Like mothers in general who are crashing with home affairs, Ara shouted calling her son who just wayang who somehow from home from his father's office.
Ara who had just finished tidying up the contents of her refrigerator came out of the kitchen and looked for her son.
"Abang," he called again because Argi was completely invisible and not even scorching. Tumben.
"Bang," Ara dizzy looking for his little hero, he had checked Argi's playroom but the boy was not there. In the back garden there is also not even in the front garden there is not.
"Why baby?" asked Gio who appeared from the direction of the stairs was about to head to the first floor with a small towel that he used to dry his hair.
Ara who was standing in the middle of the living room while shaking her waist saw her husband descend just sighed.
"Where's argi?" ask Ara.
"Lohhh not the same as you were"
"That there was I was cleaning up in the kitchen, being called out,"
Gio smiled faintly, draped a small towel on his shoulders then hugged Ara from behind.
"Hus mother's mulu-ngomel," puckered Gio as he kissed Ara's cheek from the side.
"Your son is very fond of numbers" said Ara Jutek.
"Play the same miko in front, baby."
Miko, the male cat who became her son's favorite cat. Argi if it is with the cat at all do not want to be disturbed. Ara sighed softly, she had checked and there was no son there.
"Nothing."
"What time?"
Gio took off his embrace at Ara about to step in to look for her son ahead. But not yet had time to continue his steps, Gio and Ara were made to glare with the presence of Argi who was like he had just finished soaking in the mud along with the cat he was carrying. The boy's eyes seemed to be crying.
"Oh Allah's brother." cried Ara.
The woman in the clothes approached her son, followed by Gio from behind. Ara immediately crouched down in front of Argi looking at her son from top to bottom.
"Mama don't even," said Argi still with the rest of his tears.
"How come it can be soaking wet and dirty?" asked Ara very gently. While Gio just stared alternately at his son and also his wife. This is what Gio likes most about the way Ara educates her child. Not hard but not also pamper Argi until his son grew up to be a smart child and respect for his parents as well as others. Gio silently observed the interaction of Ara and Argi.
"Beauty got in front of the post om security guard, ma," replied Argi honestly.
"Can't you?" ask Ara again.
"Miko drowned mama, Abang wanted to make sure Miko even rose. It was helped by the security guard," Argi explained, making Gio desperately hold back his laughter. The innocent face of her son who was explaining, Miko's trauma-like face and Ara's shocked face really made her almost blow her laughter.
"Good boy," Ara didn't think. The woman unceremoniously carried her child and her child's beloved cat into the bathroom leaving Gio who had laughed to see her son.
"Father, you can't laugh" cried Argi annoyed at the laughter of the father. Instantly Gio silenced his mouth as he looked at the sharp glances from his wife.
...❤❤❤...
After a long wait for Ara and Argi to get ready, at exactly 8 pm the little family was now on their way to their parents' house. Argi who was sitting in the backseat busy with his toys did not pay attention to his parents who were also busy telling stories. Sometimes Ara turned to make sure her son was in the back seat.
"Pa." call Argi make Gio glance at his son from the middle glass of his car.
"Bang Al isn't here?" asked Argi to ask his cousin.
Before long, the white car they were riding in got into the courtyard of the mansion that was the residence of the father and his mother. Not waiting for long, Ara and Gio get out of the car and do not forget to help Argi to get out. The boy in a black sweater immediately ran to the main door that was already open.
"Grandmother" with a loud cry Argi entered the house.
"Greetings right dear," Ara's fine reproof.
Argi immediately stopped his steps and turned towards the main door. "Assalamu'alaikum grandparents." Argi's greeting was so sweet that his grandparents smiled thinly as well as Gio and Ara.
"Waalaikumsalam darling grandma. Ayok dear brother Al is inside," invited Vio's mother while holding her granddaughter in without caring about Gio and Ara. It made Gio smile thinly while shaking slowly.
"Dad," said Ara and then crucified her father-in-law's hand followed by Gio.
"Let's go in. Just understand your mother, after there is Argi and Al she forgets the same children," said the father with a laugh and invite Gio and Ara into the dining room. There's been a little family gathering Gea, Gio's sister. On the other hand, there was Vio and his two grandchildren who were busy telling stories while choosing the food that was on the dining table.
"Well deck?" gio asked his sister who was sitting in front of him with Zian the husband.
"Healthy, alhamdulilah. Brother and sister Ara how are you?" ask Gea back.
"As you can see." replied Gio briefly.
"Abang Al sama Argi today what is it?"
The question that came from Vio's mother managed to shift the focus of everyone at the table eating. Everyone noticed the interaction of his grandmother and favorite grandson.
"Abang Al to dad's office this afternoon, alone. Al's great, Grandma, can't you go alone?" ask Al enthusiastically.
"Waah great granddaughter. But brother can not do that, can not go alone again, brother is still small. Dengerin what mom says same father yes," said Vio softly and then turn to Argi.
"If Argi's brother was what?" he asked while watching his two grandchildren eating and occasionally answering his questions.
Argi put down the spoon and looked at his grandmother, making Vio's mother frown confused.
"Savior Miko Grandpa. It was Miko kecebul got, brother belang bolts celamatin Miko." replied Argi slowly. He was still sad to remember his beloved cat drowned.
"Can't it drown, honey?" ask Vio.
"In addition to the same kejal-jalan brother, uh tadpul." his answer casually made Mother Vio hold back her laughter.
"Next time do not play chases on the side of the road dear. In the courtyard of the house, yes," meditate mother Vio gently.
"Ready granny," replied Argi enthusiastically.
"Yes, it's already finished the food." orders Vio, the grandmother. The two nodded obediently and continued their meal.
The warmth of the big family seemed so obvious and the presence of the two young children managed to add warmth to the family after so many problems experienced so far. About the departure, arrival, sadness, happiness, distress and ease in human life have no power to regulate it. All have become the way of life each of which is set very creator.
Gio and Ara compactly circulated his gaze to everyone there then the two's gaze met each other and smiled slightly. Gio clasped Ara's hand tighter. Really, Gio is grateful for the life path he went through. His next life will continue and he wants to keep Ara with him. Seeing Argi grow up, get married and have a family of his own. Gio once wanted to be selfish, he wanted every lifetime of his life, only Ara who was always by his side until he no longer had the time and opportunity to breathe.
"I love you." whispered Gio to Ara.
