"Darling, you've been anywhere. Mommy is looking for you from here," Lina greeted the daughter-in-law who had just entered the kitchen.
"I went out for a while Mom, bought this," Ara held up the white plastic wrap in her hand. Plastic contains fresh fruits of various colors.
"Wahhh. This is Mommy's favorite. Come on, there's a quick make of juice dear," Ara immediately picked up a juicer while the in-law was engrossed in helping her peel and clean the fruits.
The two women of different ages were busy working in the kitchen, juicing and cooking various meals for dinner. Until they forget Dani, who since noon did not go downstairs at all.
A message went to Ara's phone. The girl rushed to wash her hands and opened them. Adrian told me he was late and he came home at 9 p.m. At once he was limp, and he and his mother-in-law cooked a variety of meals today.
"Mas Adrian came home overtime Mom," said Ara who sat listlessly imagining the amount of food she would serve when her husband came home.
"It's okay. It was only a few hours away," said Lina who patted Ara's shoulder excitedly. Next he immediately went upstairs, calling Dani to have dinner together.
And at this moment, they were already sitting all three facing a table full of food. Until Dani frowned, looking at the scene in front of him that was more like a celebration party.
"What's this show, Oma?" ask Dani. His eyes moved to and fro staring at every plate in front of him.
"none. Oma just wants to cook a lot. But your Daddy came home tonight."
"Honey, eat a lot of yes, " said lina, the middle-aged woman to stand up, just to get her grandson's rice. After previously he gave a code to his son-in-law, so that he alone replaced the task of Ara.
"Yes. You need a lot of energy. Aunty was cooking sour salmon. Try yes," Ara connected the in-laws to get a side dish for Dani. "Tante also makes juice, says oma you like soursop juice," Ara offered a full glass of the juice she made.
"Thank you" really made Ara's smile not stop expanding. Although this matter had been umpteenth time, the boy said it to Ara.
Impressive dinner, even without Adrian. A little treat Ara's disappointment in the absence of the husband. Dani's change was amazing, and made the girl even more excited.
In the end it is love that can melt a person's heart. As much as we refuse to interact because of hate, but we cannot refuse what is called attention, patience and love.
"Do you want to see a movie with a aunt while you wait for sleepy? Aunty will help you there if you want," Ara offers to accompany Dani, rather than the boy just struggling alone in his room, besides the clock is not too late.
The boy nodded after a while. It takes time to build trust. But that doesn't mean it can't, right?
And the boy made Ara happy, by letting her arms fill her up, all the way to the brown sofa in the lounge.
"What movie do you like? The action? The horror? The comedy?" asked Ara to Dani who seemed to be looking for the most comfortable place by shifting her own body.
"I'm following what auntie wants to see,"
Ara scratched her non-itchy hair, trying to think quickly what movies a child of Dani's age liked. Actually, their age is not far adrift, but sometimes personality differences also affect a person in liking something.
"Tante likes action and also ho-ror but sometimes also does not reject the film ko-medi," said Ara, his hand actively flips a pile of box objects containing slabs of disc in a drawer under the TV screen.
"That means aunty drove me there on purpose?" Ara stuck, unconsciously he indeed led Dani to see the girl's favorite movie. Didn't he just mention the three genres as an option.
"Huhuh?" the girl flipped her body then smiled clumsyly as she said, "I'm just giving an example, if you like the others it's okay too,"
It was a 2001 Stephen Chow and Vicky Zhao film by Ara, called Shaolin Soccer. Phenomenal film genre of comedy with a little touch of action that was worldwide at that time.
"Nothing is newer?"
"Emmm, it seems like you guys rarely watch movies at home huh? Almost all old movies," for Dani's sake, the girl went back to the front of the drawer where the movie disc was stored in the mansion.
"No. Daddy's busy working,"
Ara stopped her hand movements. The atmosphere became suddenly awkward, because of Dani's answer. Is Adrian right like that?
"Later I told your Daddy to buy the latest action and comedy movies. We spend wanktu to occasionally watch together during holidays. I've never seen a movie in a long time, either" Ara put on her thin smile to create a comfortable atmosphere for their chat.
"Watch that, Tan," said Dani who was followed by his mother. Ara sat not far from the boy, attaching the body to the back of the sofa.
They both seem to enjoy the story. Evidently Ara's laughter was heard even though it was faint to the outside of the room.
Chequek!
The door opened along with the entry of Adrian who had just returned to work. He was just standing at the door staring at his wife and only son sitting together watching a movie.
Ara immediately approached the husband. "That's it, it's okay" said Adrian.
"I have permission, we will be here again," said Ara replied Adrian who wanted to say that he allowed the wife to sit there accompanied Dani first.
"Capek, huh?" tanya Ara held her husband's arm and took him to the kitchen, then poured a glass of warm water that was immediately swallowed by the man.
"Eat first or take a shower first? But I hadn't heated the food yet, so I had to wait a little, "put down the glass, then Ara turned her body and found Adrian looking at her without answering her question.
"Nas, all right?" ask Ara later.
"No."
"illness?" the soft hand was directly stretched out on the forehead of the man he had been longing for all day. In fact, they have only been together all day, later if it is in the room plan Ara wants to ask for more work.
the man caught the wife's hand and placed the back of the soft hand on both cheeks.
"Are you that busy at home?"
"I'm not busy. I even enjoyed being at home, "Ara blinked, why is it that such a question came out of the lips of the husband.
"But you don't remember me at all. Or just call me," said the man himself. It seems not only physically tired that makes it so, but more to his psyche.
"Today, first Mas re-entered after a long leave of absence. Of course a lot of yesterday's work is waiting to be completed. I'm afraid to bother you. There is really no intention of forgetting you," said the spoiled wife, and then gave her body to embrace the husband.
Adrian was silent. Bringing the wife's slim body into his arms. Many times the long breath of the man was heard. It indicates if he is really tired. And the wife can only gently rub her wide back to soothe.
