The Ours In Another Story

4. The Morning Routine

Elsewhere at the same time, Monik was feeding little Genta while making sure the elder Tirta finished his breakfast. Jovan wasn't awake at the time. Understandably he must be tired, a long journey after overtime almost a full week. Actually Jovan was a bit reckless also decided to return to Indonesia suddenly like this. After a long time also they did not go home to Mama Papa, counted already 2 times Lebaran missed without going home. The reason is Jovan's job that really can't be left behind. Jovan's position in the office is now high so he can not mess around, just imagine, as an executive manager at one of the big companies of Indonesia-Singapore obviously his work is very, very much.

“Grandma, Tilta help wash dishes yes,” said Tirta to his grandmother who was preparing to wash dishes in front of the sink.

“Udah is not necessary. Tirta help grandma just bring this to grandpa who is sitting in front yes, after that get ready to take a shower he said to play with the sisters to the zoo.”

“Oiya sister forgot. Grandma's coming, right?”

“Sorry grandma can't. Grandma has a show. Because Grandma the same Grandpa did not come, later the same brother and sisters must story yes the same grandpa grandma so can fuss how it feels.”

“Siap new.”

Finished feeding Genta, Monik helped his mother-in-law wash the dishes. While the newly woken Jovan was currently sitting down eating his breakfast quietly, the effect of the new life accumulated by half. His father was trying to eat quietly when Tirta pulled on his clothes.

“Dad let's not be long. Kasian deck Nafiza same deck Abi has been waiting for Yah,” said Tirta while tugging at his father's clothes.

“Kak, it's still 8. I'll make the same agreement to leave at 10.”

“But brother wants to pick up adek-adek first,” said Tirta.

Hearing the words of his eldest son made Jovan choke. How come he's not surprised, “picking up his sister” is the same as asking his father down the city of Jogja from corner to corner. Imagine, Tiwi grandmother's house, where Tirta stayed is in the area of Godean, Nafiza's house is in Jakal, if Abi's house is in Blok O district of Banguntapan. They went to Gembira Loka.

“Kak, it's been a promise to Mother not fuss. Yes later go the same streets but do not use pick up. We met directly there yes,” said Monik trying to give understanding.

“Tuh said Mommy. Dad shower first yes brother temenin deck Genta play first there,” said Jovan while messing with his son's hair.

Finishing the shower and getting ready, Jovan helps Genta to put a seatbelt in his seat. While beside Tirta, he automatically sat quietly waiting for Father and Mother who were preparing. Monik is still inside the house, arranging Genta's luggage as well as changing clothes for his two sons. Only after everything is ready and do not forget to say goodbye to their grandparents and departed.

A very different condition was taking place in Junius' residence, or he used to call it the palace of Candra. Lia was still morning already made emotional by her eldest. How he's not emotional, though, last night had been told they would stay at Tiwi's grandmother's house and would leave since morning but Abhimanyu now spread his leg on the floor and focus on playing to make the entire living room fall apart.

“Abimanyu..., Do not be helped again dong kan Mommy already said we want to go Mas,” said Lia.

“Yes it's still a long time Mother, mas play used to not papa right? Dad also has not woke up, Mas so bored his waiting,” Abi said in his cue style.

“Mas, wake up Daddy there,” says Lia.

“Daddy hasn't woken up yet? Dihabak kebo kok maintained.”

Again Lia was only able to sigh. It was common for the morning to be spent with the rancid behavior of his son. It's just Abi, if it's the same his father can be more up his blood. They seem to forget if they should take care of Mother as well as possible even really like to make Mother angry and blood up.

“Morning Bubun, the morning of the baby,” said Junius who blatantly kissed the cheek and stroked the stomach of Lia who was cooking right in front of Abi's eyes.

“Daddy want Bubun hit using vegetable centong or want to be put on his lips?” lia asked with a sweet but scary smile.

“So much the Bun, it is not good for the baby adek,” said Junius.

Yes but Lia has run out of sense how to deal with the magical behavior of this child and her husband. He could only pray that the twins who were still in the stomach would not go down that magical act. He could die young if this is the way. Though he had hoped to have a child as smart as Tirta. No, it's not that she doesn't love it but she's just wondering why her son could be so different.

“Pubun sit here breakfast with mas Abi. That let me wash later,” said Iyus while pulling Lia to sit at the dinner table to finish her breakfast.

“Pubun later if the road time is tired how?” ask Abi.

“Nggak Papa Mas, yakali adek want to be left alone mas streets,” replied Lia.

“Later if Bubun tired of saying the same mas yes, let father carry Bubun,” said Abi again who made Lia laugh because shortly after Abi finished his sentence, he immediately got a napkin throw from his father making the two fight like a Kindergarten child fighting over a swing.

Although it often makes her emotional and angry, but Lia is very dear to her husband and children. Especially after Rere said he was grateful because Abi often played at home accompanying Nafiza who was very quiet and rather closed. Lia is proud of her Abhimanyu hero.

“Daddy shower first there replace the same mas Abi,” said Lia.

“Mandi with yuk Bun,” not until Junius perfectly closed his mouth, his lips have been hit.

“Dad really shower with Bubun why the hell yah?” ask Abi.

You're Junius. What do you want to answer, Hayo? Lia triumphantly left Junius still confused to answer his son's question in how. He could only stutter and when he felt unable to answer he ran into the bathroom. Abhimanyu snarled and said, "strange father. There are-there are only his behavior," he said to make Mother Lia laugh with the behavior of her magical child.
