THE LIFE OF A MAN
PART 308'S
Happy reading...
*************
London, England, England,
Son still connected on the phone with Anthony.
The man was already relieved, as Anthony had already started to calm down again now. And the Son still patiently allowed Anthony who had not shown any signs to end their phone call. But the Son left it that way, until Anthony himself wanted to end their conversation.
“Now tell me, why still wake up at this time and eavesdropping to Padre, Madre and Opa conversation? ...... I thought that you guarding Mama (Now tell me, why are you still awake at this hour and eavesdropping on Padre, Madre and Opa? ...... I thought you were looking after Mama )?”
The son asked the question, out of curiosity also to Anthony who was still awake jam like this Indo-time which although already counted early, but still very early for Anthony to wake up.
“I didn’t mean to eavesdropping Padre, Madre and Opa conversation (I don't mean to eavesdrop on Padre, Madre and Opa talks ), Papa.”
“Then?” tukas Putra asked again.
“I was heard they’re talking when me and Mama want to go the kitchen because I’m a little bit hungry after Mama (I heard them talking while Mama and I were about to go to the kitchen because I'm a little hungry after Mama )-“
And the Son listened patiently to Anthony who gave his answer to the Son's question.
But the Son frowned small, as he felt that if Anthony hung up his sentence, where the Son heard Anthony muttering across the phone and talking to someone near him. “Anth?-“
“Yes ( Yes ), Papa?..”
“What is it?” ask Putra. “Is Mama Girl with you now? (Is Mama Girl with you now? )”
And Anthony's answer to his question just now made Son pull the corner of his lips.
“I bet she is as worry as you.”
“(I'm sure he's as worried as you are )”
Then Putra said like that, because he knows how the nature of ‘Gadis’nya.
If Anthony was so worried that his beloved adopted son was crying like that, the girls would be more or less the same.
Instantly the longing that is in the heart of the Son in the Girl, now the Son feels again. ‘Want once I hear his voice,’ Inner Son who is hopeful.
***
The son smiled back at his place after hearing Anthony's exact answer as he expected.
“Too worry and sad, untill Mama was screaming at her sleep ( Too worried and sad, to the point that Mama yelled in her sleep )----”
But Anthony's next words made Putra a little surprised.
“She what (He what )?-“ Cut Son.
Those who were near the Son who was talking on the phone line, spontaneously immediately noticed the Son who they realized was a little aghast.
Damian asked the Son without a voice, and the Son simply raised his hand to Damian, as Anthony spoke again. Damianpun.
Then Damian returned to his original position, which sat down gently on a wooden chair. And Putra refocused on listening to Anthony talk across the phone.
***
“Mama was screaming on her sleep and cry a river until she snapped up-“(Mama screamed and cried so badly in sleep, until she jerked awake )-“
“Oh my (Jeez ).” kesah Putra in muttering as he listened to the continuation of the speech in the form of a lengthy explanation from Anthony. “Is Mama Girl okay now (Is Mama Girl already okay now )?”
The son asked later, as he felt a little worried if the Girl got up by shouting in his sleep.
***
“Mama is okay now Papa (Mama is fine now Papa )”
“Glad to hear it (Good to hear it )-“ said Putra. ‘I really want to talk with Girl right now (I really want to talk to Girl now )’ Inner Son.
But he did not have the heart to interrupt Anthony who still did not seem tired of talking to the Son. So the Son restrained his desire to talk to the Girl.
“Oh by the way Papa, I’m going to have little sister and brother (Oh by the way Papa, I will have a little sister )!..” said Anthony enthusiastically.
“Ha?” Flabbergasted son. But then he smiled. “So Madre is pregnant (So Madre is pregnant )?” ask the Son later.
“Mama Girl who is pregnant Papa (Mama Girl who is pregnant Papa )-“
“WHAT?!” where Anthony's correction of the Son's speech made the Son squeal loudly until he got up from his seat.
“*S*t Son!”
And those who were near the Son were not ready to curse because of the followings were shocked to hear the screeches of the Son.
Then Damian, Garret, Devoss, Hezekiah and Yona got up from their places and immediately looked with questionable eyes at the Son who cared for them.
“What’s wrong (What's the problem ), Son?!”
Garret who came closer to the Son immediately asked.
The son quickly raised his one hand and pointed his palm towards Garret.
“Repeat (Repeat )-“ hiss Putra then who looks very focused on the phone. “Repeat what you said (Repeat what you said earlier), Anth ....” gugu Putra.
Where Garret and others throw each other face to face, because they do not understand what is happening. You see, the Son squealed until he got up from his seat, and now the Son looks stunned. ‘What is it actually (What exactly is )? ....’
Garret, Damian, Devoss, Hezekiah and Yona were as entrenched as Thomas was with them.
Then the six men let Putra again speak on the phone, except Damian and Garret who remained standing near the Son, the rest returned to their respective positions.
But their eyes remained focused on the Son.

The Son's heart was pounding now upon hearing Anthony's words. Surprise and disbelief are mixed in the Son's heart now.
Anthony said that if it wasn't Bruna who was pregnant, the Girls really surprised the Son. “Is that true (Is that true), Anth?....” asks Putra to make sure.
“Yes ( Yes ), Papa.”
The words of Anthony were heard.
“That’s what Madre said after Mama wake up after she was unconcious.”
“(That's what Madre said after Mama woke up after being unconscious )”
The surprised and disbelieving face of the Son after hearing Anthony's words about the Girl's pregnancy, now turned worried because of hearing Anthony's words just now. “Mama got unconcious (Mama was unconscious )? –“
The son asked half frustrated.
“But how ( But how can )? –“ connect Son who again asked.
“Mama too worry about you (Mama worries too much about you), Papa.”
The voice of Anthony rang out immediately, and the Son sighed in frustration as well.
“Do you want to talk with Mama, Papa (Do you want to talk to Mama )?” anthony's next speech in the form of the question made the eyes of the Son then sparkle.
“Y,es please,” says Son.
“Hold on (Wait ), Papa-“
“Wait, Anth ...”
The son quickly ambushed Anthony before his favorite adopted son walked away from the phone.
“Yes Papa?”
Anthony immediately replied.
“Have you feel enough talking with me (Have you felt enough talking to me already )?”
“Yes Papa-“
“Have you got everything I said to yo before (Do you understand everything I told you before )?”
“Yes Papa, I can understand everything you said to me before (I can understand everything Papa told me before )”
“Good.”
Son smile.
“Then promise me one thing (Then promise me one thing ) ....”
The son spoke calmly.
“Sure, Papa!” sahut Anthony's. “What should I promise you (I have to promise what to you )?”
The son smiled after hearing Anthony's words. “Promise me don’t ever feel sad and too much sorry about me here (Promise me never to feel sad and worry too much about me here )”
“......”
“Do you trust me (Do you believe me )?”
“Yes Papa, I trust you (Yes Papa, I trust you )” Anthony replied calmly and without sounding any doubt in his tone.
“Good. You need to trust me that I will take care of myself here, and never breaking my promise. I’ll be home as soon as possible, okay (Good. You have to trust me if I'm going to take good care of myself here, and not break my promise. I'll be home soon, okay )?”
“Okay Papa. I will pray so you, Daddy Dami, Daddy Garret and Uncle Dev, will be home soon and healthy (Okay Papa. I will pray that Papa, Daddy Dami, Daddy Garret and Uncle Dev, will return home as soon as possible and be healthy )-“
“Thank you, My Boy ..... Now can I talk to Mama Girl (Now can I talk to Mama Girl )?” putra says.
“Sure Papa!”
Anthony said cheerfully.
“You must be miss Mama that much, right Papa (Papa must miss Mama, right )?”
The little chuckling son.
“Sure I miss her a lot, as I miss you (Of course I miss her a lot, like I missed you )...”.
“I love you, Papa!” said Anthony who immediately got a reply by the Son.
“I love you more, Anth –“
“By the way Papa, can I talk to Daddy Dami and Daddy Garret too after you finish talk with Mama (By the way Papa, by the way, can I talk to Daddy Dami and Daddy Garret as well after Papa finishes talking to Mama )?”
“Sure Boy ( Of course Nak ) –“
A cheerful thank-you note from Anthony was heard across the phone.
And it sounded again if Anthony was talking to someone.
A person whose voice was then heard across the phone replaced Anthony.
“Putra ...”
The voice that the Son longs for - following his figure, for the Son to approach tightly and lash out the scent of his body.
“Girl, my dear wife ...”.
