Genius Children: Between Hate and Miss
First Day in Jakarta

Tania stopped her steps right in front of the exit of Soekarno Hatta Airport. From the moment he got off the plane to where he was standing right now, he unceasingly took a deep breath. This is the first time he has set foot again in Jakarta after five years. A large city that holds many sweet memories is also a bitter memory at about the same time.

“Mama why shut up? Go, up! That taxi was waiting from earlier,” said Arsenio while pulling the tip of the clothes worn by the mother.

He took a deep breath while closing his eyes for a moment. “Ya already, let's go up!” take Tania to Arsenio. So, he handed a large suitcase and a small suitcase belonging to his beloved son to the taxi driver to put in the trunk of the car.

Arriving in the car, Tania chose to sit in the back seat with Arsenio. Throughout the journey Arsenio continued to tell his experience when he participated in an online game competition tournament with Zidan.

Arsenio enthusiastically said, “Mama knows no, my team almost lost the final. However, lucky at that time I screamed for Zidan's help and he helped me finish off the enemy that had attacked me mercilessly.”

Tania smiled broadly at the sight of how enthusiastic Arsenio was. From the way he spoke, the look in his eyes and the movements of his tiny lips reminded him of the handsome Xander—lelaki figure he had once disappointed. Aah .. why does she keep thinking about her ex-husband when the man is not necessarily thinking about it too.

Tania's hand stretched forward, wiping the top of Arsenio's head lovingly. “Mama's son is great. Worth being a champion,”.

The first day in Jakarta, Tania woke up early. He glanced to the side where Arsenio was sleeping while hugging the memento giraffe doll from Ayra.

Forgive Mama for separating you from Ayra, the inner Tania.

There is a sense of regret in yourself when you see Arsenio so tightly hugging the doll. However, he had no other choice but to bring his beloved son along to complain about his fate to the capital. Yes ... who knows their lives much better than before and certainly avoid the garbage mouth of the neighbors who like to gossip.

Tania placed a plate containing four slices of chocolate-filled toast onto the plate. Smells tantalizing. Eggs cow's eyes and do not forget the two glasses of white milk he prepared to be consumed with his beloved child.

"Done!" said Tania satisfied when she saw the dishes presented on the dining table. "Died waking up Arsen after that went to the supermarket to shop for daily necessities." After saying that sentence he passed to enter his room.

Arriving at the room, Tania approached the child. He sat on the edge of the bed, then rubbed the top of the head of the handsome boy who had hazel eyeballs just like his papa. "Darling, wake up! It's morning, son."

There was no reply, Arsenio was still sleeping under the thick blanket of white. Tania again said, "Mama make you a beef-eye egg and chocolate toast. He said, last night Arsen said that Mama wanted to make bread and eggs. If Arsen doesn't wake up, Mama's up!"

Not long after, Arsenio's eyelids moved slowly. Her luminous eyelashes also moved. "Don't get run down, Ma! I want the bread and the eggs" said the boy.

Tania's smile expanded upon hearing the son's voice. "Yes, Honey. Mama's not gonna spend your rations." The woman tidied up Arsenio's messy hair. "Now, you take a shower just so it doesn't smell cool."

Without rebutting, Arsenio set foot on the floor down from the bed and walked towards the bathroom. The little boy waited for Tania to bathe him immediately.

Currently, Tania and Arsenio are already in one of the largest shopping centers in Jakarta. Capitalizing on severance pay from the company and the rest of the online gaming tournament prizes, he plans to buy daily necessities as well as stationery for his beloved son.

Suddenly, Tania who was choosing milk for Arsenio turned towards the child. "Well, what do you want to buy that book, son?" The woman was quite surprised to hear the words of her beloved son.

If a child his age asks to buy a storybook with pictures and various colors, the genius boy instead asked Tania to buy a reading book that can only be understood by adults. Very strange and beyond reason, but that's the reality. Since childhood, he has preferred things related to computer science.

The tiny lips pursed when they heard Tania's question. Instead of complying with her request, the mother asked. "Of course to read dong, Ma. I want to learn how to make my own virus and antivirus. If it works, I can give it to Mama. So, later Mama will not need to work hard anymore because there will be people who send money for me."

Tania's heart warmed to hear Arsenio's reply. Never once thought that the little baby he raised alone could grow great and have a very noble ambition.

Tania put back some of the milk cardboard she had in her grasp onto the shelf. The woman immediately crouched down then tightly hugged Arsenio's body. He did not expect his beloved child to think of himself who worked hard.

After making payment at the cashier, Tania complied with Arsenio's request. He carried the tiny body towards one of the famous bookstores throughout the archipelago.

Eyes sparkling happily. His face was drawn when the boy and his mother entered the bookstore. "Wuah .. a huge collection of his book, Ma," murmured Arsenio as she swept through the room. "If I see Papa, I'll ask you to buy this book all ah."

Arsenio was so amazed to see the state of the bookstore because the look of this store is so magnificent and very spacious. It is different from the bookshops in the city.

Tania smiled bitterly upon hearing Arsenio's words. In fact, your Papa can afford the entire store if he wants to. The words he could only say in his heart.

"Mom ask the shopkeeper first. You wait here. Remember, don't go anywhere!" pinta Tania before leaving Arsenio.

"Okay, Boss!" arsenio exclaimed as she raised her right hand up, then placed it on the temple like a respectful person in front of a red and white flag.

The woman stepped gracefully towards one of the shopkeepers who was busy arranging books. Spread the view to the corner of the room. This store also holds many memories when he and Xander went to college.

A smile re-expanded on her soft lips. "Eight years have passed since we were both in college but this bookstore is still the same as it used to be." Breathe in the air while closing your eyes. "And .. The smell is still the same as it used to be, Xander."

Shake your head quickly when consciousness comes to the surface. Aah .. no! I can't remember that guy anymore. Yeah, just don't think about it anymore! Then, Tania also accelerated her steps to quickly arrive.

However, those footsteps had to come to a halt when his gaze accidentally found someone standing in front of him.
