8: Evolution

Vanishing silence. The dark color blends gradually into a light blue. Low air temperature, showing a loss of warmth when the sun has not really revealed its form.

The figure of the man wearing only a t-shirt and jeans was walking alone in a quiet residential complex. The back carries a large backpack, in its right and left hands it also holds many plastic-by-by-by pouches for its beloved son and wife.

Thinking of his wife and son, the black sliced figure with the alabaster-white skin could not help but smile. The face that tends to be a bit arabic with a pointed nose that speeds up his footsteps.

Only a few people seem to have just started the activity. They turned their heads, looking at the tall figure with the tanned hair in awe.

There's only one word. So handsome!

Ignoring the gazes and greetings of the neighbors, Arjuna stepped into a courtyard rather hastily. The man's heart was pounding hard, a nonstop smile splashing across his lips. Taking a deep breath, the brunette man shouted in front of the wooden door that was still closed.

"Darling-"

"Papa?"

Just one word said, greeting in the back makes Arjuna silent. Reflex, the man turned around, looking at the petite figure in a pink trining suit standing at the open gate.

The girl was fat, with a pair of adorable chuby cheeks and a pair of brown irises similar to his wife, Arjuna instantly recognized the teenage figure of his beloved angel.

"Son?" Arjuna was doubtful. Her daughter had a rather dull face, had acne and never cared for herself. Even so, he still loves his son. However ...

The girl in front of him was very different. Too cute! The face was very similar to the fat and mini version of the Goddess, with a slightly tan sunburned skin. But at a glance, Arjuna is really like seeing a tiny version of the Goddess!!!

"Darling!" Arjuna could not help himself. He walked quickly to Nanda and was about to hug and kiss her little girl. "Akh!"

"ah! Papa! Sorry, sorry, reflexes!" Nanda panic. He saw his father running closer and hugging. His survival instinct was instantly active, making him involuntarily punch his own father's stomach with all his heart.

Luckily, he still tends to be weak. So, that fist won't hurt too much right?

"Ughb ... Son, your fists are very accurate."

"Sure," Nanda nodded proudly. "When added strength, Papa will definitely not be able to wake up."

"... ." For a few seconds, Arjuna was at a loss for words. Why is this child ... so ... so cute?! Take a look at that proud expression, very similar to his wife! Oh, Nanda really is her great daughter!

Arjuna cannot be angry with his son, he does not even know how to get angry with this funny creature. He smiled, rubbing the head of the long hair that was pinched one gently. Thanks to the punch, he realized that this was his cheerful son. Oh, didn't he have to make a good image for this beautiful princess? Ahem. It was just a little out of character. It's not good to show a silly face in front of a child like this.

"That's great" Riko Arjuna praised. "Papa's son is great, will you all learn martial arts? Nanda ntar can hit bad guys." And even to the male crocodile who will approach the child alone puppet!

"Really Pa?!" nanda's face was bright. This weak body will get professional training!

The man smiled amusedly. "Sure," he said. "Well, let's go in first, Papa has brought a lot of snacks for Nanda."

The pair of brown eyes sparkled brighter. Exclamations were good, excitedly a small figure ran up to pick up some parcels on the floor and entered the house shouting.

"Mama! Mama! Papa's home!" Enthusiastic cries filled the bright room, making Arjuna sigh at the clean and tidy room that was sorely missed.

"Darling, I'm pul-"

"Oh? That guy wants to go home?"

Arjuna's smile froze. His heart felt stifling hearing the cold tone of his wife. Unknowingly, he broke out in cold sweat.

The new goddess came out of the kitchen, carrying a large bowl of nasi uduk which still reflected smoke. A beautiful figure with strands of curls dangling past the shoulders looked at the stiff smiling man in the doorway.

"Mama! Look Ma! Many gifts!" Nanda cuek duck, still eagerly put various parcels on the living room table and dismantle it.

As Papa said, there are a lot of snacks. Especially chocolate, Nanda's favorite sweet. Some clothes and jewelry the child ignored, he was not interested in gifts for his mother. Focus more on some of the snack boxes that look mountainous.

Oho! How many years had he not seen all these fancy snacks?!

Nanda really wanted to cry. Instead of paying attention to her Papa who suffers from the cold war of her mother, the fat teenager prefers to look at all the gift snacks from Arjuna.

Arjuna only comes home once a few months, but once he comes back, the man will bring a lot of good snacks! Everything you buy is the best. So, instinctively, the first thing when welcoming his Papa is souvenirs.

Putting all the boxes back into the plastic bag, Nanda ran while carrying hers into the room. Oh, the habit of piling up food cannot be released. But the difference, this time not the room that became a food warehouse, but his space that became a secret refrigerator.

Nanda is not an insensitive child. Mom and Dad need space to be alone and to welcome love. When in front of him, Papa tends to hold back. Act soft and smart-ass. But if only alone with Mama? Oh, that genius scientist will become BUCIN!!!!

Nanda was quite nauseous when considering yesterday accidentally heard the voice of Papa and Mama send each other a sound. How Papa praised and threw all the sweet words to persuade the sulking Mama.

From that, Nanda is 100% aware of where her cheap mouth genes come from.

After throwing all the snacks into his room, Nanda ran into the bathroom.

His father is a scientist, of course he is very genius right? So, Nanda did not want to waste his existence. He wanted to ask a few questions to reinforce his theory. It will also be a big influence for his decisions going forward.

.

After the bath and fragrance, three family members gathered at the dining table. From the thin hue on Mama's cheeks, the woman had clearly been knocked down and looked extremely happy.

Papa is not silent. With an elegant smile, the handsome figure took rice to fill Mama's bowl, poured a glass of milk into Mama's glass, intending to feed Mama.

Oh, if you don't get that warning, Nanda's sure Papa's really going to feed Mama. Act as a very dedicated husband caring for a sickly and weak wife. Unfortunately, Mama is not sick at all, what else is weak.

With both parents looking young and looking more like a newly married couple, the background-like Nanda tries to console her own heart.

Once upon a time, Nanda had thought he was a pickle boy. How not? With Mom and Dad so beautiful and handsome, how could Nanda look ugly and horrible?

In fact, everything is just an illusion. It just so happens that he is at the peak of growth hormone. Coupled with the habit of snacking a lot, rarely bathing and being lazy, how could it have no effect on his body?

There is no beautiful woman if she herself is lazy to take care of her own body.

"He, uh," Nanda nodded. "But it's only been a week, so haven't seen the results."

"What's wrong, slowly, as long as done diligently, will surely look out," Dewi chimed, afraid that his daughter was getting bored and impatient. "Nanda's face began to clear. The pimples are starting to deflate and diminish."

Nanda grin. "More beautiful nanda?"

"Sure," the Goddess without hesitation praised. "Ntar Mama pesenin some masks for blackheads and skin mutihin if all the acne has begun to really disappear."

The fat teenager was getting excited. Oh, investments from parents should not be wasted!

"Oh yeah, Papa said he wanted Nanda to learn martial arts, seriously Pa?" Nanda changed the topic, looking expectantly at her Papa.

"Self-defense?" goddess's eyebrows are adrift. "Don't ah, Nanda has been in 3rd grade and again, he is also on a diet that will often exercise. What about soy sauce? No time to study?"

"Well, Nanda learned her martial arts after the test" Nanda hurriedly interrupted. Mama's speech is absolute, Papa is 100% subject to Mama's decision. "Udah finished the exam will be a long holiday."

"Yes already, pas Nanda has finished the exam just a list of participating in martial arts activities. But now, Nanda doesn't want to take lessons?" Arjuna looked at the child. "You're in 3rd grade, what will you do? Who's going to university?"

"At school there was additional tutoring Pa, no more tutoring," Nanda immediately refused. More than 8 hours of study, his brain can be damaged by being squeezed to always think. "Your mother wants to go to Education! The universality is up, the important thing is still in this city."

"Education?" The goddess looked at her daughter in disbelief. This time he heard it. Doesn't Nanda like to read and draw? He thought his daughter would register as a librarian, or take a DKV or design foundation ...

"You want to be an SD teacher?" Arjuna guessed and avenged the teenager's whimper.

"Yup!" Nanda nodded without hesitation. "What if Nanda wanted to be a teacher?"

Arjuna was silent for a few seconds, before finally realizing that the pair of eyes were staring worriedly. Clearly afraid that his will will be opposed. It made him glance to the side, looking at the Goddess who was now sighing.

"Why does Nanda want to be a teacher?" ask the Goddess seriously. "You don't want to be a painter? Or designer like mama? The librarian? The novelist? The comic?"

Not that the Goddess was opposed, but she was well aware of her son's hobbies. Nanda doesn't like it very much in crowded places, the boy likes to read books, draw pictures, sink into his own world. The good thing, the girl is not the type of loner and knows when to separate from the world so as not to affect the environment of his friendship.

That was why, Dewi was afraid that Nanda would regret it halfway.

"That's Ma's hobby, not an ideal," Nanda pouted. "Nanda wants to be a teacher of SD because see if the development of the era began to rage. Therefore, Nanda wants to educate children so that from childhood, they already have good habits. Kayak litter in place, like cleanliness, not diseakinin animals .. mindset from small formed will certainly affect the fit they big later."

Arjuna smiled at it. "Because Nanda feels that young people are starting to become immoral?"

Nanda sighed. "Not a teenager, but an adult. What else is an entrepreneur. Papa kan researcher tuh, must be aware also if the earth is getting dirty. It's environmental pollution, mass-hunting animals, or even development that drains green areas."

The fat figure looked down, staring at the rice sitting in annoyance. "It feels, the so-called world lung place is actually sooner or later will be spelled from the world if you continue. How many years does a tree need to grow? But humans cut down a lot .. if not to build a house, but take the land. Well, if the land has been annexed, where will the tree grow again? The old tree grew, the place to grow was taken."

Silent.

No one spoke at all when Nanda finished expressing her thoughts. The tone of the child was very innocent, complaining and clearly concerned about the environment. But Arjuna knew for sure the seriousness of the problem spoken by the princess only wayangnya.

It is also a problem of every country, but unfortunately, human selfishness and greed are terrifying monsters. Can't be instantly dismissed. With the hush money and some loopholes from government regulations, some large corporations arbitrarily took advantage of the venue. Harm the surrounding environment only for the benefit of some parties.

"Would Nanda want to be a teacher so that children can be aware and grow to love nature?" The goddess finally opened her voice. Smiling proudly looking at his son.

"Yup!" Nanda nodded. "Makanya Nanda wants a list of elementary school teacher majors, Mama and Papa agree right?"

"Sure," jingled amused, Dewi immediately responded. "But being a teacher is not easy."

"Woah, calm down Ma! Nanda likes little children and is patient, fit to be a teacher!"

"Did you like kids?" arjuna's eyes sparkled. "You want a new-ugh!" the Papa grimaced. Glanced at his wife and got an angry plot.

Nanda pretended to be blind, ignoring the pasuri quarrel scene that the two months had not met. Oh, calm down, he's got a girlfriend, so there's no need to be upset to see a hot drunk couple in front of him.

"Oh yes Pa, sea kayaks that have been polluted with waste, there is a possibility that animals in the sea will evolve?" Nanda asked, turning back the subject of the abuse.

Papa's smile expands. "Evolutionary theory does say that natural selection factors and changes in inherited traits or genes are the main causes of evolution. But all of that is done gradually, it is impossible to be sudden and immediately happen."

"For example, Nanda taro poison into the aquarium, all the fish that usually live in clean water in it will immediately die all. Well, if no one lives, will not evolve right? But ... If for example Nanda not naro anything, a filthy aquarium, not all fish die? Babarapa may live, but they cannot be called evolved, they adapt to the environment."

"Hmm ... ," Nanda's eyebrows are adrift.

"Gini, like crocodiles. In the past, crocodiles were very large, the size of a house or even more. Why did it get smaller? There are many factors. For example, in its former environment, many monsters were larger, ate giant crocodiles and turned out to be smaller, longer-lived because it was more agile to escape and clever to hide."

"Well, the smaller crocodile long married, lowered the small gene keketerannya, crocodiles that have larger genes more dead until finally extinct, crocodiles, leaving only small genes stronger to survive against natural selection. This is, arguably, evolution because the great crocodile has been wiped out by natural selection and leaves only smaller crocodile breeds to continue to live and continue their generation."

"So ... evolution happened for so long? hereditary and mastiin if there is another the same as the descendants of his ancestors?"

Arjuna nodded. "really. But they still carry most of the nature of their ancestors. It's also what makes researchers can distinguish some dinosaur fossils and associate them with the animals that are now."

"Keep if for example they change due to environmental factors? For example, if the chemicals continue to be alive ... ."

"Oh, Papa knows," The man smiled. "That's mutation, not evolution," her daughter liked to read novels, how could she not guess her way of thinking? "Changes in nature due to environmental factors, forcing an organism to adapt or indirectly, the nature of a chemical begins to enter and affect the body," Arjuna's smile expands. "Trust me, son, the will to survive, sometimes has a power that is hard to imagine."

Nanda heard it. His lips were tightly clenched. Evolution requires a long and time-consuming process ...

"Pa, if for example animals and plants all mutate, the environment has also changed greatly ... then what will humans become?"

Arjuna's eyebrows lifted. "There are two possibilities. Humans will mutate, and then gradually begin to evolve. Or second, humans will be extinct. There will be no more on earth."

"Summer!"

Arjuna laughed, but said nothing. Dewi could not stand it anymore, in the end shifted the topic of conversation with some lighter things.

On a warm table full of laughter. The table was filled with the scent of tempting food. No one knew that there was a thump of ticking excitement. Clutching his lungs to make the fingers tremble.

Since humans know the industry, learn to litter carelessly, know dangerous chemicals ...

How long has it been?
