Aji woke up from her sleep. Just opening a little bit of his eyes, he was immediately aghast from the shock when it was already noon. The sun has also risen. It turned out that he had been asleep for a long time, but the intention of the man came here to meet the son. Now even sleeping in the living room, on top of his body there is also a blanket.
Someone must have covered him, whether it was Bik Ika or his wife. Aji wakes up and tries to find her son. When I went into the house there was Bik Ika there.
"Bik, where's Khairi? Did you go to school?"
"There's outside, playing ball, Den."
Aji turned around immediately. However, Bik Ika first prevented it. "Either Aden eats first, Aden's not breakfast yet."
"Later, Bik. I want to find Khairi first, he must be mad at me."
Bik Ika was no longer preventing because she knew it was true what Aji said. If Khairi is currently sulking because his papa does not wake up. As soon as the man came out it looked like the son was playing ball. His body was so sweaty, surely the boy had been playing ball for too long.
Aji immediately approached him and grabbed the ball from Khairi's feet. However, unfortunately the boy turned around and ignored the existence of his papa. Aji was bowed in lethargy, this is how to face his sulking son, as much as possible he was patient and tried to take his son's heart.
"Darling, I'm sorry Papa! Papa was wrong because he fell asleep. Why didn't Khairi wake up Papa?"
"The mother who can't, he said Papa was tired. I told you Papa can't be tired, I want to play with Papa."
Aji smiled, from a long time ago she missed something like this. Often imagined how to deal with a child who sulks, it turns out scary too.
"Yes, now that Papa's awake, let's play!"
"No want! I'm tired of waiting for Papa not to wake up."
"Sorry Papa, yes! Now what does Khairi want? Papa will do whatever Khairi asks."
As a person who has never interacted with a child, of course Aji finds it difficult to persuade the son, but he is not a person who gives up easily. The man will work until Khairi falls on him. Let's just say this is the beginning because the next will probably face a sulking child more often.
"No want! I don't want anything."
"Don't do it, dear. So what should Papa do to keep you from getting angry again?"
Khairi seemed to think while tapping his index finger on his temple. He looked at his father and replied, "I want to play in the mall like friends."
"You wanna play in the mall? Play what, honey?"
"Anything, just like friends. There are cars constantly hitting the dog that way. Friends often tell me that at school, now I want to go with Papa."
"Well, let's say goodbye to mama first. Where is your mom now?"
"Mom again work."
Aji breathes slowly, because he overslept a lot of things. From welcoming his newly woken son, having breakfast together and wanting to see his wife's workplace. The man wanted to know just how much craft effort Asha had put in.
Aji and Khairi also say goodbye to Bik Ika. The middle-aged woman had asked Aji for breakfast first, fearing that later the man even had stomach acid relapse. However, he said that if he was okay because right now the most important thing is to make Khairi happy. No matter the food, later he can buy at the mall while they are playing.
Along the way there are always those who are admired by Khairi. Aji simply smiled in response, occasionally answering the question the son asked. Until it did not feel finally they arrived at the mall not far from where they live. Although it is not a big shopping center as usual, but it is enough to make Khairi happy because he can go with Aji here.
This is not the first time Khairi went to the mall, it's just that the boy rarely plays the game because he has no friends. Sometimes the boy goes along with Asha or Tiara, it's still Khairi who doesn't really like. She had always wanted to go with her father and now did not expect it to finally come out as well. A lot of games played by the boy, Aji also obeyed his son's wishes, no matter how much money he spent as long as it could make Khairi smile happily already made him happy.
While playing, Aji suddenly felt his stomach wrapped around. He only realized that this morning had not had breakfast, last night also because he was too eager to finish his work, to forget not to eat dinner. Actually, the man was hungry too. However, there was no heart to see her son's sad face so, Aji tried to hold back.
Now it turns out that he finally lost also with the condition of his body. It was okay to postpone breakfast until lunch time, but now it's like this. He wished everything was fine in order to please the son.
"Why why?" asked Khairi by standing in front of his papa, who was currently sitting while holding his stomach which was painful.
"It's okay, honey. It's just an ordinary stomachache, Khairi just play first, yeah! Papa has another stomachache," Aji replied while trying to endure the pain.
Khairi did not care what her father said. She tries to help Aji so that her stomach doesn't hurt anymore. But the man was getting more sick. Khairi who did not have the heart immediately invited his father home.
"We'll just go home, Pa. Looks like Papa's really sick."
"Father it's okay, honey. You're not done playing yet, do you want to have lunch first?"
"It doesn't matter, Pa. Papa's been sick once, let's just go home!" invite Khairi, Aji just nodded.
However, when going to get up from his seat, Aji's stomach increasingly hurts, until finally can not stand it too and return to sitting. He asked someone to help him to take him to a nearby clinic. Aji did not let go of her grip on the son at all. He asked the boy to follow him. Khairi who was afraid of something happening to his father just nodded and obediently followed his father wherever he went. Eventually, they arrived at the clinic next to the mall.
"Mas, you should not contact the family, maybe someone wants to come and wait for Mas here. I also have to go, my family is waiting there" said the man who helped her
Aji nodded and picked up his phone, asking the man to contact Asha. If he is alone would prefer to contact his men alone, but because here there is Khairi so, it is better for Asha to come and bring her son home. The face of the son who had been so frightened since. Aji also doesn't matter if in this clinic alone.
A doctor came to check on Aji's condition and asked, "Do you have a history of acid reflux?"
"Yes, Doc. Indeed, I have had acid reflux and quite severe."
"Keep why you forgot to eat if you've been sick like that before?" The doctor shook his head, astonished at the people who underestimated his illness.
"I wanted to have lunch, Doc, but it turns out my immune system wasn't strong enough, until it collapsed, too."
"Other times have to be more careful, sir. Fortunately, he was brought here immediately. In the future do not be late even if only one hour."
"Yes, Doc. Thank you." Thank you."
"Wait for the nurse to bring food here, sir. Later Please spend and wait until the infusion fluid runs out and you can go home."
