Genius Child: Containing the Seed of a Foreign Man
Chapter #16

The great-grandfather looked at Al seriously, he sat down on his rocking chair and held his foot on his thigh. Eyang felt that Al was a brave child, as evidenced by the way he looked at his great-grandfather. Al looked relaxed, calm and not nervous at all.

"You've been to school?" eyang started to give Al questions.

Al nodded. "Oh, great-eye."

"How old are you?"

"Five years." replied Al briefly.

"That means you haven't entered elementary school yet?"

Al shook his head to this question.

Eyang smiled and wanted to try Al's ability to learn, first he gave Al a book and told Al to read the book. Al read it smoothly without stopping.

Not unexpectedly, at the age of Al who was only five years but Al has been very smooth reading without spelling.

Furthermore, Eyang provided a multiplication challenge to Al.

"Have you learned addition, multiplication, or subtraction?"

"Mama taught Al all that, eyang."

"15+18?"

"33" Al answered quickly.

Eyang was completely shocked because Al like he did not need to think for long to answer his question.

"26-15?" eyang smiled thinly.

"11."

He was again surprised to hear the correct answer Al gave.

"20x5?"

"100."

The smile on his lips grew wider, only this time his great-grandson could answer all the questions from him that were possible for a child of their age the current eye-catching questions were very difficult.

"You answered everything correctly and quickly, what if I gave you even more difficult questions?" eyang is challenging Alvarendra.

"Al ready, eye." Al was still casually sitting opposite to eyang.

"1ton x 400: 5?"

(Rp.400. Four hundred silver yes, not four hundred thousand 🤭)

Al paused for a moment to think, smiling as he was sure that Al would not be able to answer his difficult question this time around.

Counting a few seconds, Al immediately opened his mouth to answer the question of eyang buyut.

"80.000."

Eyang immediately fell silent and immediately his smile also receded, he was really surprised by Al's brain who was able to think in just seconds could answer a question that was quite difficult for a five-year-old.

"You've answered all my questions correctly but there's still another challenge waiting for you."

"Al is always ready, eyed." replied Al firmly.

Eyang was very fond of Al's assertiveness, he began to raise questions for Al again.

"1 ton is equal to how much?''

"1 ton: 1,000kg, 1 ton: 10 quintals, 1 quintal: 100kg."

Eyang clapped because Al answered correctly and completely.

"Truly smart." eyed smiled widely.

Al smiled happily because he could make her like him.

"Now I'm going to ask you a question about politics, are you ready? I want to see to what extent your intelligence."

Al nodded quickly.

"When was the first youth oath in the form?"

Eyang shook his salute.

"Say who is the originator of the oath of youth you know."

"Muhammad Yamin." replied Al as quickly as lightning.

Eyang blinked his eyes many times when Al was always able to answer his question when the question was a question for elementary school children.

"Last question, who is our fourth president?"

"Abdurrahman Wahid."

He got up from the chair and walked over to Al.

"You're a real genius, Al. You don't think you can answer all the questions from the eyes. Well, because you've been willing to answer the question that you give what if you give an option?"

"Al answered the question not because of a reward, Al could answer the question because Mama always taught Al about all the lessons.

"Those who are sure that your Mama is a great woman because she has a son who has thoughts as genius as you."

"Mama Al is a great woman, so Al never denied Mama's words. Al does not want to make Mama hurt or sad" said Al wise and thought like an adult.

Eyang was very salute with Al, he stroked the head of Al.

"Those who would like to give you a gift, then."

Al did not want to choose so he decided to give him something. Walking into the closet in the room, he opened the closet and pulled out something.

"This is for you."

Al received a gift from his eyes, he opened the box that was in his hand.

How surprised Al when eyang gave him a phone output latest and limited edition. Al saw the phone commercial several times on television but there were only a few pieces that came out after it would not come out again. Al's heart was very happy and excited, he stood up and hugged his eyes.

"This is for Al, eyang?"

"Save and use it well. You're sure you're able to use that phone properly because you're a genius."

Al smiled widely.

They come out of the room, Abi looks very worried about Al but he is sure if Al is able because there is no sound of crying when Al is inside along with great-grandfather.

Al approached the Papa and he hugged his Papa.

"Pa, look what Al got out of his great-grandfather." Al showed it to Abi.

Abi opened the phone box and his eyes darted when he saw what was inside.

"It—?" abi's words were cut off because he interrupted her quickly.

"Yes, it's the latest phone and it's very hard to get. The design is also specially designed by a very great designer. I'm giving you that because your son is so genius, he's really smart."

Abi smiles at Al, he hugs Al's body while returning the phone box to Al.

"Eyang, if eyang gave this to Al would the other great-grandchildren not be envious?" Abi was worried that Al would be hated by his nephews.

"You don't have to worry, I'll tell them that Al is able to impress me with his cleverness."

Abi breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you happy?" tanyanya while looking down, glanced at Al who kept staring at his new cell phone box.

Al nodded quickly. "Al is very happy, Pa. Al will maintain and use this phone well, Al used to be very eager to have this phone because it is very sophisticated but Al is aware if Mama's finances are only enough for the needs of life, Al used to be very smart, al therefore ignores desire."

Eyang stroked Al's head. "Abi, bring the woman who has given birth to this genius child. I wanted to meet that great woman, she really educated her son very well."

"Abi will try to persuade Anaya later, eyang."

Eyang nodded and they smiled at the same time.
