Become Him
Warm ice cream

At work, Nata was greeted by Brandon who hugged him. The boy's face was already covered with brown ice cream stains that filled his hands, face and clothes. Nata's clothes were dirty but the uncle did not bother about it. He missed Brandon's spoiled behavior in recent days.

Brandon's change in interaction with the surrounding environment is getting better, has become a happy thing for Nata and Ivana. There was nothing else he wanted more than to see Brandon grow into a healthy and resilient child in the future.

“Where is the ice cream for papi, design is not?” asked Nata who rubbed Brandon's head fondly.

Brandon gives one of his ice creams to Nata. Three-flavored ice cream that is red, green and yellow.

“Waw, this is for papi?” nata asked as she squatted down and aligned her body with Brandon.

“Mami Acen.” That was the answer from the little boy who had those round eyes.

Nata smiled wryly at Brandon's reply, it seems like this child is missing Rachel even more. Every day, there are jokes that mention Rachel's name. Whether it's from toys, food or other habits that make Nata increasingly aware that the figure of a Rachel is so imprinted in Brandon's mind.

“Time to the mini market, Brandon immediately took the fruit-flavored ice cream. I think she'd want that ice cream was Rachel's favorite.” Ivana's new comments came down after checking Martha's condition.

Nata immediately got up and looked at the ice cream. I don't know why he had such a crazy idea on his mind.

“Don't tell me you want to take that ice cream to Rachel's house. The ice cream will be liquid on the road.” Ivana tried to warn her smiling sister herself while looking at the ice cream in her hand.

“No, I have a smarter way.” Timpal Nata while reaching into the phone from his pocket.

He took the time to rub Brandon's head before he actually left.

Ivana just sniffed her shoulders, it seemed like her sister had learned a lot.

Nata goes to the back porch, sits in a rocking chair while sending a message to Rachel.

“Goodnight daddy's darling. What's sleeping?” the message Nata sent.

He smiled a little while looking at his own screen. No longer hastily waiting for a reply from Rachel, she appreciates Rachel's current time and priorities, even if the priority is not to reply to Nata's message.

Rachel's eyes were closed to enjoy the sound of classical music, then open. The sound of incoming messages is enough to pause the music he is listening to.

He looked at his inbox and it turned out that a message from Nata, the man who this afternoon made him upset. But seeing Nata's efforts not to miss the news from her, Rachel urgently continues her anger.

“Baby mas is listening to classical music and the mas message bothers him.” Rachel replied while rubbing her stomach.

Somehow he often felt annoyed at Nata when Ruby and Eva including Fany had reminded him that he should not be too upset with someone because it could be later his son will be very similar to that person.

Akh Rachel so unwilling when imagining that later her son will look more like Nata than he who was pregnant for nine months.

And over there, Nata gave a small smile reading Rachel's reply. He really likes to see Rachel who starts to openly show his feelings in addition to the love that is so great. This woman can also get angry in an adorable way. He misses every time he doesn't hear Rachel's voice nagging him.

His distinctive voice with a little hoarse, always ringing clearly in his ears and making his feelings calm.

“Sorry because I have disturbed your comfort. Are your kids today being nice to you? What makes mom a hassle?” reply Nata with questions.

“He's being nice but his dad sucks.” Rachel's reply made Nata smile with anxiety. He closed his eyes for a moment imagining Rachel being next to him while listening to classical music. Must be so much fun.

“As an apology, can I replace it with ice cream?” nata Fishing.

Rachel's eyes immediately rounded imagining sweet and cold food in between the hot air that filled her room until stuffy. Rachel opened her window so that air could enter her room. It was only fitting for Nata to not wear clothes every time the man stayed at Rachel's house.

But imagining Nata coming this late, I don't think it is necessary.

“No need, this is malem.” Reply Rachel though not willing.

“I send now yes.” That was the reply Nata sent.

“Ish, this is a stubborn man. I told you not to.” Rachel grumbled in annoyance.

“Not need.” Type Rachel. He sent it right away but Nata didn't read it.

“Mas, have you left yet? I said no need.” Write Rachel again. There's still no reply. He thinks Nata must have been on the bike and came here while speeding.

“Mas,”

“Not need.”

“Gak bales order me anyway?”

“Mas!”

"I won't let you in."

"I don't want ice cream."

"Ish, reply to meuuu!!!"

Rachel started spam messages. He didn't want Nata to really be determined to come this late.

A few moments later, Rachel's message was read by Nata.

“This worries me, baby what's his mother?” write Nata.

“Not knowing!” rachel replied with annoyance. Nata likes to fish. Intentionally made him anxious.

“Heheheh .. I see you are more beautiful when angry.” Nata Goda.

Rachel clucked up reading Nata's classic seduction on this one. Even though his lips still hold a smile.

“Mas is not here, right?” Rachel replied again.

“Do you want me to go there?” Nata asked back.

“Udah I guess.” Rachel spoke for herself. Nata just wanted to make it rattling indistinct.

I don't know what they're doing until then there's a call, “Adekkk, get out for a while.” Ruby's voice sounded from the door.

Rachel wakes up soon. “What's up brother?” he's curious.

“You saw it yourself. There are crazy people sending food not about for you.” Ruby Timpal.

Without waiting for a long time, Rachel immediately came out and her eyes immediately rounded when she saw a car parked in front of their fence.

“Aduuhh sir, later my neighbor can not pass.” Eva protests at ice cream car driver driver.

“Iya ma'am, I'm just for a minute. I want to make ice cream on behalf of Rachel. Address is here.” Light of the man.

"That's my son." Eva only believed in Ruby's words a moment ago.

“Gilaaakk Rachel and Ruby stared in disbelief at the ice cream hauler.

“Segimana sir? How to use all cars?” Eva represents Rachel and Ruby's curiosity.

“One freezer bu, he said make stock.”

Rachel and Ruby's eyes were both rounded in shock. They looked at each other with shocked faces.

“Ya geezn..emang I want to sell?” eva's protest could not resist the arrival of the ice cream. He just let two men bring in an ice cream machine.

“Who is the sender sir?” Ruby paused the two men's steps. He thought it must be Calvin because his best friend just asked Rachel's favorite food.

“From Nata's father to Rachel's mother and her baby.” Said the man, while reading a message from Nata.

Rachel and Ruby are stunned by Nata's behavior. Eva turned to Rachel who was shocked.

Akh, it's so shameful to see Ruby and Eva's probing gaze like this. Rachel's face was red.

****

Until now, Eva and Ruby are still looking at the ice cream delivery machine in the middle room. Some lights were forced to be extinguished for fear that the electricity was not strong. They were still waiting for Rachel who was on the phone with Nata.

“Mas anything send ice cream same storage machine everything?” rachel's protest was not over thought.

“Oh, new nyampe huh? Very slow for them!” timpal Nata relaxed.

“Massss iihh. Why would you send this much ice cream? Would you like to tell me to sell?” Rachel grew increasingly upset at the thought of Nata's relaxed response.

“Sit down first, calm down first just saw the ice cream machine and you continue to choose the ice cream. That's me sent a variety of fears because you are bored if only send one or two types aja.” Nata lighted calmly.

“Iyaa, but I eat ice cream every day? There I have a stomachache later.” Rachel Protest. He looked into the ice cream machine and there were indeed many flavors.

“Don't dong .. eat it in the break. That's what I send a lot so you don't have to take my son out if you want ice cream. So just take it.”

Nata's description left Rachel speechless.

“Kata Brandon, you like the taste of fruit that there are three colors. So for the ice cream that was deliberately sent more than others. I try it tastes good too, fresh at eating again hot gini?”

“Mas eat ice cream too?” Rachel was curious.

“Nyalain the camera, we eat ice cream together.”

“Make. Eat it yourself.” Rachel snorted in annoyance.

“Come on, I want to eat ice cream together with my son. Can yes...” Nata begged.

Rachel did not answer, she put her phone on the bed and left the room.

“Same brother take the ice cream you want. Mas Nata said let's not get sultry. Don't be weird, he likes random sometimes.” Rachel told her mother and sister. His face was still red.

“Iya, adek eat first later mamah same brother also take.” Sahut Eva's.

“Yes, take it, no need to hesitate.” Rachel took one fruit-flavored ice cream and took it to the room.

He closed the door of his room and made Eva and Ruby both smile.

“Come brother, we'll eat ice cream. We also take it to room.” Eva patted Ruby's arm with a smile. He reads clearly all of Nata's efforts for Rachel.

“It looks like someone is trying to melt that stubborn mama child huh mah. I'm tired of seeing him ngereog mulu.” Ruby held back her smile.

“Nothing. If there is still work that can be done to make it whole, why should it be destroyed?” Eva took one chocolate-flavored ice cream.

Ruby took one strawberry-flavored ice cream.

“Sometimes need to be spaced, to understand each other's feelings.” Ruby Timpal.

The two women just smiled at each other and looked at Rachel's bedroom door. I don't know if Rachel will survive or falter with her decision, they can only wait for the next round of two people's relationships that begin to look loving to each other.

Inside, Rachel is enjoying her ice cream with Nata. Unknowingly, there are many things they talk about. They discuss how to talk to the baby in the womb to the choice of homemade food or fortification. The calm and comfortable atmosphere made them freely argue with each other.

“Not rigid should be homemade food. From what I read, fortified foods also have a more balanced nutritional content.” Nata said over there, speaking through a video link.

“Iyaa .. origin of introduction of the texture according to age. Now even more ngetrend give children finger food that loh mas. Artist Nikita Wili. That's really cool.” Rachel Timpal.

“Iyaa, but make sure we have consulted with a pediatrician, so we get a clear guide.”

"Yes, I can't wait to see him grow up." Rachel rubbed her stomach gently. Nata heard Rachel talk a lot. Unknowingly, that was their chatter right now. Two people who said they would separate and choose to be happy with their own life choices.
