When Ghifa got angry

When Ghifa got angry

Gubrakk!

I was surprised, the preoccupation of watching the rose buds that began to bloom simultaneously fell into the realm of consciousness. 

I turned my body towards the sound from behind my back. Apparently, Ghifa kicked an empty basket beside him until it slammed soar and fell face down. His pouting face was deliberately shown before me. His cheeks became more bloated, his red lips pursed.

“Sayang ... What's wrong? Is it wrong to get kicked like that?”

I asked gently, while putting the plant scissors I used to tidy up the stem of the rose that began to spread. The buds are seen poking here and there in between the blooming of roses that first greet the world. Rushing my steps closer.

Saturday morning, I don't remember an appointment. I turned my memory, will there be something I forgot? Kugandeng invited him to sit on the side porch. The gurgling water in the pool on the right side of the terrace makes a cool tone curled up in the heart, giving color to the silence.

“Why are Chips angry?”

Ghifa bowed, then glanced with the corner of her eyes and immediately threw away her face when I saw what she was doing. 

“What's the matter, baby? Is there anything you forgot?”

Ghifa still did not open her voice. But his eyes rolled back, rolled his eyes without a smile, and then closed his side while behind me. I tried to recount this week, whether I ever delivered words worth a promise to him. But still I don't remember anything.

“Cipikkk, if angry, beautiful lost lhoo.” My light.

Still not working.  The position of the curly-haired little girl did not falter in her lashing. As Laras once said, Ghifa will grow into a tomboyish girl figure who is hard in her stance. But there's always a reason for that. Could it be that the footsteps of yesterday's days had been missed? 

“Cipikkk pingin bought balloon again?”

As soon as Ghifa turned to me, her mouth gawked and then her wide eel covered with fine hairs lined up while looking up. Hemmm, looks like I feel like there's something he's been example for. Kunth!

“Hemmm, what balloon do you want, baby? A Pony? Hello Kitty's? Or ..?”

His black, round eyes stopped my seduction.  And as expected, his two hands tapped back his eel, then gradually down covered his face, his head shook until his wavy hair swayed gently following.

“Ghifa dear, so ask what dong? How to camble?” rayuku again.

Ghifa took off both palms covering her face then looked at me with a flat face. Fragrant baby powder smelled fresh. A short-sleeved pink t-shirt with a picture of cherry blossoms wrapped around its body that contains. Dark Blue jeans knee-length as its alloy.

And ... for a moment, Ghifa wears sporty white shoes complete with short socks pink color pony. So then? 

My forehead creased to look at the little girl before me stunned, a moment later my smile widened.

“Woow, beautiful son Dad .. Where to go?” godaku's.

I only realized that Ghifa wanted to be noticed by his current appearance. I pecked his head and I pinched both cheeks slowly.

“Hihihi ...!” Eventually Ghifa's laughter unraveled as well. This child can never be long if angry, he will soon laugh freely, if the problem is considered finished.

“There is dehhh...” his laughter does not also subside behind his words that glide lightly.

“Lho, are you Dad invited?”

“Emang, Aya want to come?” smashnya.

“Emang Ghifa where to go?” I began to suspect. How could a girl as small as Ghifa have a hang out agenda without her super-tiny father?

“Kan, already Ghifa said yesterday Ayaaa ..” his mouthpiece is back, but there is no upset in his eyes ya g clear.

I was stuck, scratching my head hair that began to lengthen, feeling uncomfortable, because the tip began to tickle my ears and nape. But, until the pecking of a tilapia leap over the red tarnished blooming in the pond, I didn't feel like me and Ghifa had any plans to come out today. 

“Ayaa forgot yes ..?” ledek Ghifa saw me dumbfounded.

“Hehehe ..”

“Assalamualaikum Ghifa beautiful? Wow, are you ready, huh? Maafin aunt, yes. Ghifa has been waiting for a long time .. don't be angry yes beautiful, calm down later Ghifa can ask for anything with Auntie, Okay?” a shrill voice rang out filling the peaceful morning. 

I followed Ghifa's steps, walked around the side porch past the rose garden and towards the front yard. There I saw Kunti hugging Ghifa next to a black modified jeep with large wheels. Until at a glance the body is not inferior to Rubicon for 10 digits.

Bik Nah looks also down the stairs. In both hands he held Ghifa's backpack and another bag that looked full.

Apparently they've made a mature plan behind my back? Or am I the one who doesn't notice when Ghifa talks?

“Waalaikumsalam Non Danesh, this is his bag Bik Nah enterin yes ..”

“Ohhh .. Yes, yes Bik. Sorry yes, Bi has been waiting a long time,”

“Not also, Non.  Bik Nah just finished shower, kok.”

“Wahhh, pantesan fragrant.” Seloroh Kunthi while breathing the air next to Bik Nah who was putting the bag into the car.

“Halah, Non Danesh lebay!”

“Weleh, Bik Well know lebay too? Hihihi ..”

"Know Non, it's kayaking in soap operas ... lebay, lebay ...”

“Hihihi .. Bik Well love watching Sinetron too?”

“No, Non. Only sometimes. Asyikan ngliatin Den Gielang ngalamun from watching soap opera,”

“Haaa?”

“What Bik Well?”

“Eh, Den Gielang, just like a ghost, suddenly there anyway?” shock Bik Nah.

“So Bik Nah likes to steal the look of nih yeee ..” seloroh Kunthi while looking at the cheeks of Bik Nah who began to wrinkle.

“Eh what the hell is non, Kunthi.  Yes, it is, slice Bibik, from the baby right Den Gielang Bik Nah who take care, can dong Bik Nah pingin Den Gielang live a happy life .. baby his life story is now like a soap opera, sad just, Non.” Cerocos Bik Nah as if venting.

“Ahhh.. Bik Well ..”

Ndak felt, this arm opens embracing Bik Nah with haru. As I often did when I was in high school when I seduced him to make boiled noodles with three eggs.  My second mother has no doubt her affection for me.

“Hihihi Ayaaa, kayak small child .. “ ledek Ghifa while jumping and clapping.

It's really nice that the boy saw his father like this. No exception Kunthi, from earlier the lady kepo was crumpled up with the art while holding her stomach, can get a free story of my sad life story. Severer.

“Hihihi, oh yes den, today Bik Nah want to send Non Ghifa sightseeing used to be the same Non Danesh yes.” 

“Emang want sightseeing where, Bik?” 

“Tuh right, even though yesterday afternoon Mother and Bik Nah also said you know.  Surely Den Gielang ndak dengerin ya?”

I was stunned, so that's what I was talking about yesterday afternoon? At that time I was not really listening, I just responded with a wave of my thumb.   My attention is still focused on the news about the rowdy board members on television.

“Come on, Up!”

Kunthi helped Ghifa get into a jeep high enough for Ghifa. Strange girl, her taste is also unusual. Bik Nah has first climbed to the back bench.

“Mas Gie, leave first yes, Come ghifa da same Dad,”

“Hihihi .. da da Ayaaa..” the wave of Ghifa's tiny hand seemed to hurt my heart.

My little girl was next to the steering wheel with a safety belt attached. The jeep slowly came out of the yard.  I'm still chasing with a wave of my hand.

“Da .. da... beautiful, uh but Ghifa want sightseeing where?” I was answered with a crisp laugh from inside the car.

“There deh .. “
