You Pinang Me As Honey

Episode 15: At the Amusement Park

"Tante Arin wants to color...?" Ask Alvin plainly. He saw Arinda who had been watching him. He thought Arinda wanted to color the picture in a coloring book like her.

"Umm, did Alvin want to lend it to aunty...?" Arin seemed to agree on what Alvin was thinking.

"By dong, Aunt." Alvin girang. His eyes sparkled as he said that. Alvin was happy to make friends. Coloring friends now.

"Which auntie wants to color it...?" Alvin flips through the sheets in his coloring book. Showing some pictures that he has not had time to color to Arinda.

"Auntie wants that one. Can...?" can...?" Arinda answered while pointing at a picture of a ship above the sea.

Rushing Alvin handed a coloring book and his color pencil to Arinda.

"Thank you, Alvin." Arinda took it with joy. But suddenly Alvin stood up from his seat, moving into Arinda's lap.

"Alvin wants to see aunty coloring..." Alvin said without feeling awkward in the slightest. Arinda also invited and prepared his lap so that Alvin felt comfortable sitting there.

They also enjoyed the moment. Arinda patiently answered every question that unceasingly came out of Alvin's tiny mouth. Ardan who witnessed that looked very happy. There was a feeling of relief drawn on his face. He smiled with satisfaction as he looked at everything outside his car window.

Victor, who seemed calm behind the wheel of the car, felt the same way.

"I'm sorry, Miss. I'm too happy because they're so happy." Victor muttered in his heart.

The Amusement Park...

"Where's aunt going up...? That one or that one..." Alvin gives Arinda a choice, while pointing to windmill rides and swivel comedies.

"Um, want that one..." Reply Arinda dropped the choice on the windmill.

"Alvin wants that one, Papi..." Alvin immediately pulled Arinda's hand while running impatiently towards the windmill. Ardan and Victor followed them behind.

They ride the windmill together. See the natural scenery around the amusement park from a height. Victor took some pictures with Ardan's cell phone. The moment when the three of them were together, when nothing beat their cheerful laughter.

After finishing with the windmill, Alvin pulls Arinda's hand to ride a comedy ride. Before boarding, Alvin again gave Arinda a choice.

"Tante wants to ride a horse or his train..."

"Umm, aunty wants to ride a horse..."

"Alvin wants to ride a horse too, Papi..."

Arinda held back a smile while glancing at Ardan. Alvin hurriedly pulled Arinda's hand. Then they ride their horses on the ride. Alvin is alone with Ardan, and Arinda is alone. Victor didn't go up. He waited at the fence, while taking pictures of the three people who were passing happily together.

It was already noon when Alvin managed to finish some rides. The sun was pretty hot that day. Arinda occasionally flicked her hands to drive away the sultry. Ardan immediately invited them to rest first.

"Alvin, Aunt Arinda is exhausted. Let's take a break, yeah..."

Arinda frowned, knowing that Ardan was using himself as an excuse. "Ish..." Said Arinda softly while glancing towards Ardan.

Alvin looked at Arinda, as if waiting for an agreement. Arinda who understood the situation, smiled gently and nodded to Alvin.

They look for a shady place in the corner of the park. And sit back on a bench. Victor is still standing.

"Alvin wants a drink...?" Ask Victor to Alvin.

"You..."

"What do you want to drink...?"

"Mmmm..." Thinking while looking at Arinda. "What do you want to drink...?"

"Hmm, what is it...?" The very hot weather at that time, made Arinda want to drink cola cold. But he was worried that Alvin would choose what he chose.

"Mango juice..." Arinda dropped the choice. "It's just sedikiuittt..." Further.

"I'd also like a little mango juice, Papi."

"Alvin wants ice cream, too, Papi." Alvin said later.

"Can. Vanilla ice cream, right...?" Ardan guessed, had to ask Victor to buy Alvin's favorite vanilla ice cream. As usual. But it looks like today will be like never before.

"Tante Arin likes ice cream what flavor...?" Alvin asked Arinda. Makes Ardan suspicious.

"What...?" Arinda surprised.

"Why should I again." Thought tickled. Making him smile himself, while glancing at Ardan.

"Chocolate..." Answer Arinda honestly. Of course, that was Arinda's favorite.

"Alvin wants chocolate-flavored ice cream, Papi."

Victor expected it. He smiled at Ardan. It seems he already wants to laugh giggling.

"Yes, it's up to Alvin..." Ardan felt defeated.

Victor was about to step up, when all had chosen drinks and snacks that he would buy in the cafeteria.

"Alvin's coming, Uncle..." Suddenly Alvin slumped from where he was sitting, ran towards Victor and grabbed Victor's hand. Ardan nodded towards Victor sign in agreement.

Ardan and Arinda live on that bench. Arinda straightened her legs that looked more level with her jeans.

"I'm sorry, Alvin must be troubling you." Ardan.

"Hm., who said." Sahut Arinda's. "Alvin's a fun kid. He's smart too. I'm glad I got to be with Alvin."

"REally...?"

"Hu um, seriously. He looks more mature than his age. And it looks like he's gonna grow up to be an independent kid."

"If you knew how inattentive and affection Alvin got from his mother, maybe you'd feel pity, Arin." Ardan muttered in his heart. Condemning the situation experienced by his favorite son.

But then Ardan realized, he did not want to dissolve in sadness. Today, he wants to have fun with Alvin and please Arinda, as well as Victor at once. Ardan knows Victor has been working so hard for him all along. So Victor has a right to have fun with him.

After they were satisfied to rest, they continued their activities at the amusement park. They are really happy and satisfied with the variety of entertainment there. Until the afternoon, they were finished.

All seemed happy, though there was a little forgotten tiredness. They were already in the car, Alvin was already asleep in Arinda's lap. He looks very comfortable there. Arinda occasionally stroked Alvin's head and gently patted his thigh. Makes Alvin more sluggish in dreams.

Along the way home, Arinda looked in all directions, who knew he knew the streets in the area. But the result is nil. He had no idea, now he was in the other side of the country.

The car had entered the courtyard of the magnificent house, when Arinda was still struggling with her own thoughts. Actually the house is one of Ardan's villas. Arinda did not expect, the house he had occupied so far was amazingly magnificent and luxurious seen from the front side. He admired the house and admired the owner.

He looked at Ardan, who had chosen to sit in the back. Ardan has now become a father, but why easily he expressed love to Arinda. It made Arinda even more dizzy thinking about it.

It was late at night when they got home. They then went into their rooms to clean themselves. Ardan takes Alvin to his room while Alvin is still asleep. The boy was quite tired as it seemed.

They meet again at the dinner table for dinner. Alvin was awake and tidy that night.

"Hi, Aunt Arin..." Say hello to Alvin first.

"Hi too, handsome boy..."

"Tante Arin is happy today...?" Alvin asked like a grown man.

"Tante Arin is very happy today. Thanks Alvin for taking Aunt Arin to the amusement park..."

They also immediately ate dinner after Bi Imah invited. After dinner, Alvin went straight into Ardan's room to continue his rest. Arinda was about to go up to her room, but her steps stopped when Ardan called out to her.

"Aryn. Thank you for accompanying Alvin today..."

"Yes, equally. I also mouthed. Thanks yeah..."

"Hmmm..."Ardan nodded. "Rest...!"

Arinda walks into her room as Ardan and Victor look towards Ardan's study.
