Athena
Anne


Athena opened the door to her sister's room, apparently her daddy was waiting for the sister to change her school uniform with a house dress.


"Why is yah?" ask Athena to Renal.


Renal shakes.


"Adek just doesn't know yet. Then papa also ngawur talking about it" said Renal.


The door of the walk in clothes shifted, Ayra was already wearing her home clothes.


"Come here deck, sit next to daddy" Renal patted the empty sofa that was next to him.


Ayra followed Renal's instructions.


"Didn't love the baby?" ask Renal.


"I don't know" Ayra replied.


"Do you not know?" ask Athena.


"If you still love Ayra, Ayra will also love the baby" said the child innocently.


Athena and Renal chuckled at Ayra's innocent reply.


"His name is Aurora, The's older brother's first child, meaning it was also Ayra's ponakan. His parents were not there, last brother met his grandmother who was also dying. So, Ayra help sister make Aurora big together." Athena tried to explain.


"But brother still loves me, right?" tanyakanya.


"Yes, dear dong. All daddy's children must love each other" now Renal who replied, he stroked his daughter's shoulders.


"So you want to play with Aurora?" ask Athena.


Ayra nodded quickly.


"His sister's cute, like a doll. Her eyes flickered " said Ayra passionately.


"Jaudah, let's go down. Ayra's sister had lunch" take Athena.


Ayra stood on the chair, then hugged Renal's neck.


"To be carried turns out to be ", said Renal. But he happily held Ayra behind.


"They also want dad" said Athena.


"So big brother. Daddy's not strong" Ayra chimed in.


Renal chuckled at the words of his youngest son.


Their arrival attracts the attention of Raga, Alda, Lathief and Aina.


"Is it better, Dad?" Alda teases his son.


Ayra covered her face using both of her palms, the child was being timid.


Alda chuckled at Ayra, and stood up from his seat.


"Come, mommy's been eating" she asked.


"The aja, mom" said Athena.


Alda nodded. He sat back.


"Where is Mika?" ask Renal.


"Udah came home to him. Papa pull his ears" Lathief replied.


Aurora who was in Aina's lap whined a little.


"Oma just sit down, let Raga calm down" Raga took Aurora from Aina's lap and took her walking to the side garden.


By late afternoon, Athena and Raga left. Lathief and Aina have been back since.


"Well, not the deck?" ask Raga.


Ayra nodded quickly.


"No, sis. Ayra wants to do schoolwork" she refused subtly.


"Grand of spirit well learn it" Athena stroked gently her sister's long hair.


"Bye mom, dad" he kissed his parents' cheeks.


"Raga says mom, dad"


Alda and Renal nodded.


Raga and Athena walked towards their residence. They introduced the Aurora to the Arunika environment.


"Mommy and Mama Ivana are done. I asked them to help me get Aurora's gear in the room next to ours" Athena replied.


Raga rattled his wife's hair slowly.


"I'm sorry, yeah" he said.


Athena hugged Raga's waist. Aurora is in Raga's arms with the help of a baby carrier.


"Never mind" said Athena.


Athena entered her house, it had been a long time since she had set foot in this house.


"Welcome home, baby Anne" said Athena.


"Anne?" ask Raga.


Athena nodded.


"Aurora is too long and complicated, The. We call her baby Anne, says Lysanne" replied Athena.


"All right, miss"


Athena helps release the sling attached to Raga's body.


"I didn't expect to be a parent so soon. Her son was immediately big anyway" Raga chuckled.


"You know, Ga, Anne's date of birth is the same as our wedding date" tell Athena.


"Cool. Anne's birthday, our anniversary "Raga kissed her son's cheek.


"You take a bath first, Anne also wants me to bathe" asked Athena, she took Anne from Raga's sling.


"Same on top of him dear" Raga embraced his wife's waist while climbing the stairs.


Athena enters her room, she must prepare clothes for Raga first, before going to the next room to bathe Anne.


"Anne, baby, this is the room. Don't like? It's Alda's oma who's ready, same as Ivana's oma"


Athena put Anne on the bed. The 5-month-old baby laughed at Athena's voice, as if responding to her mother's speech.


"In the meantime, mama ready her clothes first, want to prepare warm water as well"


Athena gave Anne a toy and left the baby for a while. Anne's bed was of course safe, there were barriers on each side.


Athena painstakingly bathed Anne and also put clothes on the small body. The smell of the baby is immediately smelled, very fragrant.


"The beauty of the mama's son" Anne's cheeks became the target of Athena's anxiety. I think he wants to bite his son's cheek.


He then returned to his room through the connecting door. Apparently Raga had finished her bath.


Raga turned around as she smelled the baby's scent, she turned around and found Anne had changed and looked fresher.


"Papa's son's fragrance" he returned to carry his son.


"You take a shower" he told Athena.


Athena nodded.


"You wait to be brought, Anne's friend to the park. I cooked this too" he said.


"Well mama" Raga imitated the voice of the little boy who managed to invite Athena's laughter.


Athena was grateful that Anne was in her life. He had waited long enough for the baby, but had not been given sustenance. God arranged it in another way, so God sent a little angel for him and Raga who made them parents. To this day he still feels a dream. Just like yesterday it felt like he and Raga had a fight, and now there was Anne among them. He will always try to carry out the trust of Rita's grandmother very well. Judging from his story, he and Anne have little in common in the course of his life. They both lost loved ones as children. As Renal, Alda and the others loved him, he would do better to do the same to Anne.


After finishing cleaning, Athena walked into the kitchen. He left his kitchen long enough, hoping there were still groceries he could make dinner for himself and Raga. For Anne, it was only necessary to brew porridge sold in the supermarket.


Tomorrow morning he has to go to the supermarket for monthly shopping, the contents of the refrigerator are almost empty, there are only frozen meatballs and vermicelli. It then stamps the seasoning to make a meatball sauce, and mixes it with vermicelli.


He could have asked Min and the others to go shopping, or to Alda's house, and the other option was to order food, but Athena really didn't. Let this be his memory, eat his potluck.


"Ga, the food stock is exhausted, the rest of this meatball and vermicelli" said Athena. He was feeding his son porridge.


"It's okay. Tomorrow we go shopping. Sorry yeah"


"Cock I'm sorry?"


"Because I'm stocking up on food until it runs out"


Athena smiled.


"No boy?" tanyakanya.


"Always delicious. Anne would not?"


"Anne was a child, Ga" Athena chuckled.
