Calms Ardi


Fira and Salman looked at Ardi who kept his head down. That morning they had breakfast together. Ardi had not been out of the room for a long time. Once out, he sat quietly.


"Why you?" Salman asked.


Ardi shakes.


"Eat, boy!" Fira takes Ardi his favorite rice and side dishes but Ardi flakes.


Ardi's indifferent attitude towards Fira irritated Salman.


"Ardi, Mother offered you a meal." Salman's voice is rising.


Ryan who was enjoying his food stopped his activities. He was shocked to hear Salman's high tone. Ardi started sobbing. Ryan held Ardi's hand.


"Eat yuk!" said wise.


"Mas." whispered Fira softly so that their two children did not hear it.


Salman pulled his hair. He regretted that he had spoken in a high tone.


"Ardi, forgive papa. Papa did not mean to ...The ardi!"


Ardi ran away from the dining table.


"Why again with the child" Salman said.


"Mother, Ryan wants to catch up with Ardi." said Ryan.


"Ryan, you want to talk!"


Ryan left his chair. He sat back.


"Ryan kept the promise is mandatory, but try to see Ardi's condition. He needs our help. But papa and mom couldn't help Ardi if we didn't know the problem. Ryan understand what you mean?"


Ryan nodded with a sad face.


"Now tell mom what happened last night!" tell Fira firmly.


Salman just silently listened to the conversation of his wife and son.


"Evening Ardi had a dream, Mother. According to Ardi, the dream is very scary, so afraid of Ardi to pee." replied Ryan softly.


"Ardi wetting?" Fira.


"Not much. Ardi woke up and went straight to the bathroom. But Ardi kept freaking out afterwards. Ardi was afraid of being scolded and was also afraid that his dreams would come true."


"What dream is Ardi?" Salman says.


"Dreams are being carried away by the same bad guys that met in the mall, Pa."


"Rul." Salman and Fira spoke at the same time.


"Mother, Pa, Ryan is done. Ryan wants to follow Ardi." Ryan got up from his chair after wiping his lips with a cloth.


"Ryan wait!" Fira took the plate and arranged the food on it.


"Peluade Ardi to eat. And tell me not to be afraid, because Mother and Papa love him so much!"


Ryan nodded, "Well, Bund."


Ryan took her out of the dining room with food for Ardi


"Mas, looks like I need to talk to Ardi. It'll be bad if it's left."


"Yes, honey. I'm gonna take Ardi and Ryan three streets and talk. Looks like Ryan can help because Ardi's more open to him." Salman rubbed Fira's head.


Fira took a deep breath, "Thankfully they got along, otherwise, Ardi would have felt even more depressed."


"Ryan's exaggeration, he is able to make people around him comfortable. Just like you, Alan feels right by your side." Salman poked Fira's nose.


"Thank you for the compliment, but Mas, I'm still amazed by Alan's attitude."


"Let's. We don't take care of it." Salman continued eating.


Salman smiled in response to Fira's words.


I know you're feeling guilty and I'm not gonna let Alan do anything to Anita. But I won't let you get involved in Alan's life either. Just let me.


In Ryan's room.


Ryan was persuading Ardi to eat.


"This is Mother lo who took. Mother is very worried because you have not eaten. Eat up!" Ryan gave me the food he brought.


Ardi looked at him in disbelief.


"Mother? Mother not angry?"


Ryan shook his head quickly "Mother that's patient. I used to wet the bed too. I'm afraid of being scolded. But it turns out that Mother is not angry. Yes, I was told to clean it myself, but that's because Mommy wants me to take responsibility."


"Are you sure Mommy would act the same way to me?" Ardi looked at Ryan expectantly.


Ruan nodded. "Very sure" he said steadily.


"Have eaten!"


Ardi received a plate containing food that Ryan offered earlier. He began to slowly feed the food into his mouth.


"Mother is the most patient and loving person. Even though I'm not her real child, Mommy has never been different with me." Ryan said.


Ardi immediately turned his head, "Mother isn't your real mother?!" ask Ardi in shock.


"Yes. I'm Mother's adopted son." murmured Ryan while smiling.


"You're not sad to know that Mother is not your mother?"


Ryan shook his head, "I'm just happy. My mother said this is a rich child. Two mothers and two fathers." Ryan showed a funny smile.


Ardi listened to Ruan's words while chewing his food slowly.


"I am also often said to be my schoolmate. But I let. They don't know my happiness with Mother."


"They have also said that I am a child who is not wanted by my parents, so it is given to the mother."


"Don't you feel that way?" Qrdi is back to Ryan.


"No. Not at all. I actually feel happy. If I come with my mom, I'll share it with my sister. Come, I don't have to share it with anyone." Ryan laughed softly.


Ardi put his old dinner plate to the table near where he sat.


"Yan, it's actually the bad guys that met at the mall, my real dad."


"What's?So papa Salman?" Ryan's shocked.


"Not my papa." said Ardi. Tears dripped from his clear net crackers.


"Then why do you say he's evil?"


"Because he's going to separate me from mom and dad. I don't want to go with him. I want to come with papa." Ardi started crying.


Ryan embraced.


"Calm down. There's papa and Mommy. Papa and Mommy won't give you to that man. But, you have to tell Papa or Mommy about that person!"


Ardi nodded. "Papa knows."


"And about your dreams, tell papa or mama! You will not be scared anymore."


Ardi nodded.


Ryan laughs. "We're the same."


Ardi smiled. He was relieved that there was Ryan with him.
