Author And The Baby
Downhill

The door opened and Marina went inside while shuffling the milk bottle. He looked at Abigail who was approaching and Farhan who was tilting to the side. She quickly came to the baby and held him.

"E, uh, Mami's son is getting naughty huh? You wanna roll again, mmmh?" He shook the baby's body for a while making the baby laugh while looking at Marina. "Come, it's drinking milk." He put the baby pacifier into Farhan's baby's mouth.

Abigail relieved. He who was halfway back finally returned to his seat. He started checking his work on the laptop.

Half an hour later, the phone rang. Abigail pressed the answer button. "Yes?"

"There's Mr. Muji, sir, for a consultation on the design of the factory."

Abigail glanced at Marina.

"Oh, I can walk out first. It's okay." The woman knew herself and immediately put on her backpack while carrying Farhan.

"Eh, yeah. Just bring it in" the man replied to his secretary on the phone. He then glanced at the woman. "Eh, Marina."

Marina who was putting a baby sling on her body turned her head. "Yes?"

"You might be able to go to the top floor. There is an open garden there. Anyone can come there to rest."

"Oh, yes, I have. I'll just go there, brother."

"Later I'll catch up when it's over."

"Oh, yes."

By the time the guest came Marina went upstairs. He took the elevator and dialed the last number. Baby Farhan was comfortably drinking bottle milk while looking around.

Marina smiled at the baby. "We're going for a walk, honey?"

Arriving at the last floor, after the elevator door opened, in front of him there was another door that was still closed. He stepped into the corridor but found nothing there but a vending machine. Then he opened the door.

Seen a cool open area viewed with open skies and green trees everywhere. The well-maintained garden with a few wooden chairs to sit around adds to the beautiful scenery in the place.

A glance is like a view in a park except when looking out. It was surrounded by many tall and modern skyscrapers. An amazing sight. "Well, good, baby," she told the baby.

Marina stepped into the vast park. "Well, where are we sitting?" Marina is looking for a strategic place for her and her baby to take shelter.

The sun was a little hot even though the wind was blowing softly. He was looking for a shady place.

There were some people who were there but since there were some lush plants, he could not see them all. As he approached a more lush place he found two people of opposite sex were preoccupied kissing there, making the woman surprised.

"Eh, sorry, sorry."

The two people who were feeling disturbed looked cynically at Marina.

"Eh, sorry. Excuse me. Just continue. I'm gonna go." Marina apologized. He rushed out of there.

He's back at the door. Duh, where should I go? I don't know the other floor but it must be full of people working. Did I come to the lobby again? He sighed violently while pursing his mouth.

The woman looked at the baby Farhan who had just half spent her milk. "Hopefully, the receptionist isn't fussy anymore huh, honey huh?" he said to baby Farhan.

The baby just looked at him.

Marina then went back down by elevator to the lobby where she first entered. There, the receptionist woman was still there and smiled at him.

Hopefully it's okay for me to wait here, Marina's inner self as it passes through the woman.

Shortly as he sat on the sofa chair as before, the receptionist lady came to him. "Mother."

"Eh, yes." Marina was wrong. Is it still not here?

"Eh, why don't you wait at the President's place? Is it more comfortable there?"

"Oh, then, it's okay, ma'am if you want to wait here. Go ahead." The receptionist gave him permission.

"Eh, thank you."

The receptionist did not leave. "Mmh, if it's still a long time, do you want to drink something?"

"Oh, I can."

"Warm or cold?"

"Anything."

"Ok, look forward to it, Ma'am."

"Ah, thank you." Ah it turned out well too receptionist.

Marina was finally able to sit quietly and wait there. He got a warm cup of tea from the receptionist while joking with baby Farhan who had finished her milk. "Mami Pinter's son, out of his milk. What do you want now. Play? Mom, take your toys first."

Marina pulls out a bracelet-shaped baby toy that sounds when moved. He cleaned with a wet tissue before giving it to the baby. The baby picked it up and bit it.

An hour passed, until the baby began to sleep. Marina lulls him over the stomach with a small hum and swab on the back and head of the baby who is lying on his stomach. The baby's body was comfortable sleeping on top of the woman's body which was indeed a little fat. He slept quietly.

Suddenly the receptionist came back. "Eh, Ma'am is wanted by the President. Almost wanted to be announced on every floor, but I had already reported Mbak is here, so Mr. Abigail will be here."

"Oh, so. Yes thank you." Marina gets ready to put on the bag and puts baby Farhan in the sling carefully.

Open elevator. Some officers came out with Abigail.

"Oh, you're here apparently. I'm looking for you upstairs, but nothing. I almost announced it on every floor. Good thing, the receptionist told me you were here." The man looked at the receptionist. "Thank you, huh?"

The receptionist just nodded his head.

Abigail came to Marina. "How about we go to lunch now? It's lunchtime soon."

"Eh ... Where do you go?"

"Get out, let's go to the restaurant. There's a Chinese food restaurant near here that's pretty good."

"Eh ...." Marina looks worried.

"Why? You're still scared, aren't you?"

The woman showed her white teeth.

"I don't know what your problem is with that guy but don't be afraid. You're going with me."

The woman hesitated. "Are we not just eating here? Maybe in the canteen. I don't have enough money to eat at a fancy restaurant." Finally he bluntly.

The man smiled. "You are this ... You'll go with me, so I'll treat you."

"I've been a lot of trouble here but Brother still treat me too. I'm not feeling well, brother."

"What's not good? You're a guest at my place. Especially me a man. The task of men is to treat women. Come on, now come along. We're eating out."

With a little embarrassment, Marina ended up coming with Abigail eating outside.
