"Grandfather!" exclaim Oskar.
The six-year-old boy ran over to his grandfather. With a face that was deliberately made to weld, he began to let out his crocodile tears to support his acting.
Sir Alex lowered his body. Welcoming her granddaughter who threw herself into her arms and was ready to complain, "My dear granddaughter, why are you crying, hm?" ask Sir Alex.
The half-century man's hands wiped away Oskar's tears that could somehow come down like rainwater. Then lift the child up to his cradle.
"Grandfather, Xiao O is envious of the baby sister," Oskar replied. Her small hands pointed to where her baby sister, Reagan was.
Sir Alex turned his head, looking at Louise who was smiling alone as she held Reagan near the baby box. Although he was shocked by what he saw, Louise did not mind the resemblance of her son to William. Because Louise believes that when she gets older, Reagan will definitely look more and more like her because he is her father.
Louise was still smiling, kissing Reagan several times as her punishment for disobedience and hunger born when she was absent. While Sir Alex is getting dizzy now. In fact, before Louise held Reagan earlier, she had already spoiled Oskar first. Hugged him, kissed him and lifted him on his shoulders. Louise touched Reagan in less than a minute. Is Oskar envious and wants to be spoiled Louise again?
"Why, what makes you jealous. Is it because daddy's still holding your sister?" sir Alex asked affectionately.
Joanna who saw it just smiled, then put the breast milk she just finished pumping and kept it.
"Does Xiao O want to be hugged by daddy? Because daddy was still holding Reagan, Xiao O was able to hug mommy," Joanna said.
Louise who felt a snatch laughed, then put Reagan in her left hand. Joanna who saw her son in such treatment also glared and scolded him. "Louise, what are you doing. Hold your child properly. He could fall if you put him down like that!"
"Joanna, I'm the daddy. Do you think I'll let him fall?" answer Louise. Louise paid no heed to Joanna's nagging then waved her hand at Oskar.
"Oskar, come! Daddy can hold you and your sister at once" Louise said.
Oskar turned his head for a moment, saw Joanna who had welcomed him, then saw Louise who was also ready to welcome him. But his mouth was getting more and more snarled forward.
"Xiao O doesn't want to be hugged," Oskar replied then shook his head and kept it on his grandfather's shoulders. Who wants to be hugged. That's not what makes us jealous. But the other thing.
"Then why are you crying, hm?" ask Sir Alex.
"Grandfather, why is my brother so handsome and I'm not. My heart hurts so much!" oskar said with a mouth that advanced like a duck's mouth.
"Who said you weren't handsome. You know, you two are both handsome. So what makes you hurt?" ask Sir Alex.
"really?" ask Oskar.
"Of course it's true. Just ask your daddy and mommy if you don't believe it!" answer Sir Alex.
"But,-" Oskar saw Joanna. Then he turned his lips back and protested again.
"Why mommy is so bad. Why give birth to a baby sister only with a handsome face but do not let baby sister have a cute and adorable face like me. What if my baby sister is jealous of my face when I grow up?" ask him with a fiery spirit.
The three adults were just head bobbles. Who taught him to speak like that. Who gave him that much confidence. Then what is he talking about. They come from different prints. Which may be the same while those from the same mold are not necessarily the same.
Oskar and Reagan, these two children are different. But they remain equally handsome and adorable even though they come from different wombs and seeds.
"So this is mommy's fault?" ask Joanna.
"All right, mommy's wrong. Mommy's sorry" said Joanna.
Oskar finally asked to be taken down. Run towards Joanna and dock in her arms. His head was leaning against Joanna's chest as usual and his face was facing the large window in the room. From that window, Oskar could see his Papi William having a light conversation with Agria.
After months of reluctance to go out. Finally Agria decided to come out and it started today. Although Agria had changed, but she still did not dare to approach her son. She was afraid that her son would run away and reject her for not being able to forgive her.
However, he realized that his mistake of abandoning Oskar was unforgivable. For this reason he only saw Reagan and Joanna for a while before finally choosing to wait outside.
Oskar continued to look at Agria while she was in Joanna's arms. The boy noticed everything. When Agria laughed, when Agria smiled and when Agria accidentally saw her. Their views met for a few seconds. Oskar did not turn away, but Agria immediately lowered her head and returned to talk with William. Seeing his own son's eyes, he still did not dare.
"Xiao O dear. Who is the most beautiful. Mommy or your mom?" joanna asked when she realized Oskar was silent and kept looking at Agria.
"Of course mommy is the most beautiful" replied Oskar.
"But according to mommy, your mother is the most beautiful" said Joanna.
"Why did mommy say that?" ask Oskar.
Joanna smile. Then kiss Oskar and hug him, "Xiao O. Do you know where this handsome and adorable face of yours came from?" ask Joanna.
"Of course from mommy" replied Oskar.
"Dear, listen to mommy. Mommy just helps you keep this cute face, but it's from your mom and dad that this face comes from. Since Xiao O said that your face is more handsome and adorable than Reagan, doesn't that mean your mother is prettier than mommy?" ask Joanna.
Oskar just shut up. His small brain digested his mother's sentence. Whether you understand it or not, but he's clearly back on his head.
"But he's evil. Xiao O won't" replied Oskar.
"Xiao O, your mother is not evil. He's good, he's very good. I just never chose the wrong path. You know, she's also very good" said Joanna.
"No, only mommy is the greatest" Oskar refused.
"Mommy was great, but your mom taught you how to be great" explains Joanna.
"Then mommy and her are both great" Oskar said later.
"Hey, she's your mother. Call him by the right name next time. Do you want to understand?" ask Joanna.
"Mommy," whined the spoiled Oskar.
Oskar did not want to call her mother. Oskar still had not accepted, but his eyes really could not get away from that figure right now.
Is it true that women are good. Is it true that woman is great. What he can do. She can make cakes like mommy. Can she cook a good meal like mommy. Can she kiss and hug him like mommy?
"Here you go, don't think. Just slow. Someday, you will realize it. That your mother wasn't as bad as you thought she was" whispered Joanna.
