Because I'M Father
Pamite

Now, I was crying loudly while kissing Mama's feet, then kissing Papa's feet. I hugged both of them while crying.

"I'm sorry for my mistake, Ma, Pa. I've sinned a lot." I was back on the floor.

"Why are you apologizing? Why not wait until the day?" ask Papa wonder.

"Did you realize how sinful you are? Ck, ck, ck, that's how it's supposed to be," Mama said.

They did not care at all about this sincere apology.

"You're sorry for not being married, plus your date, not to mention when you became a transvestite, then an old sin"

"Mama, I'll be dead soon!" cut me off when Mama absents my sinful behavior.

The two old men even looked up together, making me cengo. I was upset because I was not trusted.

"Look at your son, he's getting sane" Mama told Papa, who still had a laugh.

"I'm serious!" I was so frustrated.

Shelin came, I hugged her immediately. Apologizing for my sin on him, apologizing for stepping over him first.

"I'll be dead soon, brother. Say something to me." I'm so sad.

Shelin chuckled at hearing it. "What is this drama? Death of a cool widower apartment? You're so childish, Al," she said, not trusting me and instead walking to sit down.

"I'll be completely gone, but none of you feel sad?" my protest is desperate.

Nio and Zio are being held by Grandpa and his grandmother. Vio is now on the Shelin bench.

"The night I dreamt of getting married, it's a sign that I'm going to die soon, isn't it?" aduku, back crying hard.

Not to calm me down, they all laughed out loud. Even my son laughed, although their laughter seemed to imitate.

"You believe in such a thing? It was just a dream coming from a demon," explained Shelin, clucking and shaking in surprise.

"But it's real, right? I'm gonna really die?" my question, still scared.

"Everyone will die, so will we. Whenever it was, whether you dream of getting married or not, you're all going to die" Mama assured me.

"So, the dream came because of the devil? Has the devil possessed me?" I asked, still don't understand.

"Bad news is a gift from Satan. Not that the devil possessed you," explained Shelin, furious to hit my head slowly.

I wondered why the devil never possessed me. Am I not the demon? One side I am very happy, but the other side I am still afraid.

Wait, what about the first night's dream? If I tell you, I'm ashamed of Papa. It was the same as opening up his own disgrace.

"Who was the woman you married in your dream? Maybe you can marry for real," said Mama, immediately enthusiastic about the wedding.

"Where do I know, his face was flat like a photo that was too much editing."

Shelin was immediately stunned to hear my answer. So did Papa, except Mama who looked at me disappointed.

I am a poor man.

After coming home from my parents' house. I stopped by where Andra worked. Our subscription cafe, and here has gathered Evano and Zidan.

"Finally you bring the twins to meet us" Zidan said, he likes to play with monsters. In fact, he was busy playing with them.

"I heard that Malvin had a fight with Shanet after the reunion. Your words seem to be answered," Andra said to me.

"I don't think it's the curse of someone like you that God granted" Evano said. We remember the reunion at that time.

"The prayers of the persecuted are always granted. Be a persecuted person so that your prayers may be answered," I said, breaking our laughter.

Not long after, our reunion friend came. Darko, the tall man is coming. His face always brings laughter. He even admitted that he was like a grandson, this man was indeed magical.

"You guys here? May join?" darko asked, pulling up the chair after getting our nod.

"Well, Al, you always make me jealous. You've always made me envious," he said in astonishment.

Today I wear a light blue short shirt, with white shorts and a white hat. Looks good with my clean white skin.

Why praise yourself this way.

"By the way, I want to show you something" Darko said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out his phone.

"At the reunion I met him and exchanged numbers. Look." Look." Darko showed us a picture of a girl in yellow.

"Who is he?" evano asked after looking at it for a moment.

"Hehe, not beautiful anyway, which is important to have," said Darko, making all of us single suddenly insinuated.

Not to be outdone, I took out the phone too. "I also have, look," I said showing a picture of a beautiful girl with a sweet smile.

Evano and Andra looked at me suspiciously, while Darko was already gaping in astonishment. "Well, that's pretty. She who?" ask Darko curiously.

"Nobody, anyway. The important thing is beautiful," I replied curiously looking at the expression of the person who was at the table with me suddenly horror.

Suddenly, from a distance, my eyes saw the man we had discussed earlier. Malvin. He approached and approached us.

Well, the veins are broken.

"Malvin?" Darko looked wrinkled, feeling as strange as possible.

Without asking for approval, he sat down with us. "Al, this is the first time I've seen your three children in person. Honestly, they're so sweet" he said, making me appear arrogant.

Of course it's sweet. The ingredients are sajasetampan myself.

"I've forgotten what happened at the reunion, just relax" Malvin said, patting me on the shoulder.

Not just me, everyone at the table is already feeling uncomfortable with the arrival of Malvin. This annoying guy is being gossiped about, is he unconscious?

"Have you heard the gossip? Ah, your curse was granted, but I won't get divorced, don't be happy just yet" Malvin said, without any response from the rest of us.

"I'm the one who handles one child very hard, you're great at taking care of them healthy" Malvin said, sounding sincere.

Had he been rukiah, until his attitude was so strange, several times he turned to my son who was playing with Zidan.

If he intends to match my son with his son, I swear I do not want to have besan Dajjal followers.

"You take care of them so hard, I hope I can ease your burden later" Malvin said.

Damn. He really wants to match my son to her? That mean?

This time I was offended. He thinks I'm burdened? This astral creature cannot keep its mouth.

"No, you know I'm happy. After all, what can you ease my burden with? Cut it with a tractor?" tanyaku chuckles amusedly.

I have to look tough, so that this insulting whiz doesn't demean me anymore.

"Enjoy your time, may I see you again tomorrow" said Malvin, leaving after patting me on the shoulder.

Amit-amit, I don't want to see him again.

I can only speak, because if my mouth speaks, many people will go to the hospital. Indications of hypertension.

But what exactly is he planning? What he wants from me. Why is he suddenly so kind and praising me. Maybe he'll ask me to take the oath that day.

It's not that easy, Fergus.

"It looks like Malvin regretted his actions," Darko said still seeing Malvin who had moved away.

"Maybe he found a good rukiah spot" Evano said, taking a nod from us all.

I hope it is.

"Father!" The cry of one of the monsters surprised me.

Her petite body stood beside the chair, with a whimper that everyone could hear.

"I don't want to be photographed!" Vio grabbed my leg and climbed onto the lap. As if asking for protection.

"I just found out your kids are scared of themselves." Zidan approached me complaining.

I let out a breath. "They're not afraid of themselves. They just don't understand why his face stuck to his head could be in the picture."

All my friends laughed when they heard it.

Finally the monsters disturbed my peace. They've been creeping on my body, getting into a chair, tendering, hanging on my arm like they used to.

"This is how if you have children," I said immediately responded to the cruelty by my friends.

Even so, I still enjoy this time, because if they have been big and busy with school and association, I will be lonely and hope they return to childhood. That's how it is to be a real parent. Missed the childhood of her children.

I love my little monster.
