"Mother, it's broken." Ahin pointed at the television that was not functioning properly. The picture is blurred and the sound is unclear.
"Tomorrow we buy a new parabola" Bude replied out of the room. "That TV is old, the parabola is also often broken."
The 65-year-old woman curled her hair, almost all white. His body was fat and wearing a batik negligee.
"Good-go-lucky! Ain au loi pongbob."
The little boy ran whining to Bude, writhing at his feet. At 6pm, Ahin saw Spongebob on NEXT TV. His father's TV channel.
"Ahin tonight learn early yes, yesterday was Ahin already pinter say home furnishings using Mandarin. Today Mother wants to see Ahin speaking in mandarin."
"Lo Ain can do it, Om re-ice?"
The 3.5-year-old boy really liked Ez. Ezharion is his father. Since Ahin was born, Ez has visited many times. He said he felt pity if Ahin didn't feel father's affection.
"Om Ez is busy, later we will go to Jakarta ngunjungin Om Ez while looking at Monas, Ahin want 'right?"
His little head nodded. "May you will."
Her face was very Wikra-like when she smiled, her cheeks were natural red and her eyes were like lines. His intelligence is also similar to Wikra. At this age Ahin can already read letters, I even give additional learning Mandarin because she is too fast to learn.
Once he saw a neighbor make a kite, Ahin only observed it a few times and asked for the remaining unused bamboo. In the bamboo house was made kites themselves until his small hands bleed. The result was good and made us all dumbfounded. It's just that I was angry to see him hurt.
I had to extra guide him, aware that he was smarter than a kid his age. The curiosity is great, sometimes it can make two hurt.
Ahin is my only treasure, the reason I survived to this very second. My spirit to heal after being diagnosed with cancer.
"Are you going to Jakarta?" ask Bude after Ahin left.
I saw that little back wobbly left and right because it was happy, he had never been to Jakarta and was only told by Ez that Monas was tall and big.
"I've been thinking all night, Ahin I'm going to leave it to his grandmother. He was a warm person and could definitely love Ahin."
Slowly Bude took my hand, making me look down slightly at her pretty eyes. Understand what to say.
"Sorry Bude, if a Bude is young. Bude can take care of Ahin."
Bude was already old, he should have rested without taking care of anything. Especially when Ahin was a child. I understand that too.
"Bude just wanted to put us here I'm very grateful, but now is the time for Ahin to meet his father."
"Did Ezhar know your decision?"
I shook my head, Ez is in Europe filming a movie. Just came home next month. He promised me to bring the cure back to America after coming home.
I thought my treatment was too late, if I could, then the chances of dying were even greater. I don't want to waste time. Moreover, the doctor said my time is only about 8 months away.
It's too short to see Ahin grow up, I want to give the boy a good memory before leaving. So that what she remembers is not a sickly mother other than a mother who always smiles warmly.
"Ezhar will definitely take care of Ahin, she won't mind being a father to your son."
Once again I shook my head, Ezharion is only 25 years old. Now is the peak of his career. How can I trouble him more than this. From us Junior High, I know very well how much he wants to achieve his dream as a singer.
"Ahin deserves to know his father's family, he also deserves to know his father. Before I die, I want to give Ahin that right."
Bude exhaled heavily, his face looking sad. She had me consider my own mother, helped me from the time of pregnancy, giving birth to care for Ahin.
He said Ahin looked like his dead son, so he loved the boy very much. Her quiet life after husband and son died became more colorful after our arrival.
