Genius Children: Between Hate and Miss
Xander's Decision
Feeling his name being called, Xander opened his closed eyelids. So, the man confirmed the sitting position and looked up his head towards the female figure across there.
"What's right here?" ask Xander ketus.
"Don't be rude to parents, Xander! After all, this Mama is the woman who conceived and gave birth to you into the world. Be polite to me" Miranda said. There was a flash of emotion emanated in his round eyeball like a ping pong ball.
Xander was only able to sigh slowly. Admitting his mistake for raising the tone of voice in front of the mother. "Sorry, I was out of control" he said.
Miranda looked around. Observing every gap of the apartment that was only two years lived by a child just wayang. Shaking the head when the tail of the eye sees broken glass scattered everywhere. Fortunately, Miranda's foot did not step on the shard.
"How many flower vases have you broken over these five years, haem? If this continues, our company may go bankrupt because it buys too many new flower vases," murmured Miranda fiery. The face was flushed red and the jaws were cracking until they protruded out.
For the past five years Miranda knew what caused her son to act like a madman. Xander's common sense is always lost when he remembers the figure of a woman in his past.
"For what else do you think of that cheap lady? Your ex-wife is not a good woman. Evidently, 'right, just married three months he had fun with Abraham, your cousin and enemy in the business world."
Miranda's resting her ass on the empty sofa next to Xander's. "Rather than thinking about the past, you better think about the future." The woman's hand pulled out three photos of a beautiful girl, then thrust them in front of her beloved child. "Look, after five years passed Lidya's beauty never faded in the slightest. She has become more beautiful and sexy since becoming an international model. Don't you want to start a new page with another woman, build a household and have cute, adorable kids?"
"Lidya is the son of a friend of Mama's. She is a kind, educated, beautiful woman and of the offspring are just like us. It's perfect to be your companion. Mama is sure that if you marry her your life will be happy. And .. of course he can't cheat behind your back" Miranda said at length.
The tone of speech is low and the face of the sumringah when talking about Lidya, while inversely proportional when discussing matters related to Tania. The woman's emotions exploded when she heard or talked about her former daughter-in-law. For Miranda Pramono, Tania is not a dream daughter-in-law but a disgrace to her family because the woman was not born from the wealthy.
Xander clucked in annoyance. He simply threw three photos of Lidya without wanting to see how attractive the woman was. "Mom should know exactly that I don't want to marry anyone. Whether now, tomorrow or anytime, I want to be alone."
"Why not marry again? Do you still love that traitorous woman? Cheesy woman, cheating village behind you, huh?" sindir Miranda while glaring her eyes. Both hands clenched on the right and left sides. Every time she talked about Tania, she was always emotional.
"Stop it, Ma!" cry Xander with emotions that are no less burning. With a breath of air, the man snapped at the mother. "Never insult Tania. She ...."
"He's why, huh? You still want to defend that woman, do you?" Miranda got up from the sofa, then gave a sharp look to Xander. "Remember Xander, a cheap woman like her doesn't deserve your memory. You better bury it in memory with your ex-wife. Open a new page by marrying Lidya!"
After saying the last sentence, Miranda left Xander's apartment. The purpose of his arrival there has been achieved and his frustration to the son-in-law he has poured out in front of Xander so there is no reason for the woman to linger there.
"Shiits!" aspat Xander is rough.

A Few Days Later
Weekends are the best time for people to spend time with family and loved ones. Usually they take advantage of the opportunity to go for a walk, eat together outside, watch a movie, shopping or just wash their eyes while taking a break from their daily routine. Likewise with Tania, the woman prefers to rest at home while sowing the son just playing with a laptop loaned by the company where he works.
"Mama, let's take a walk to the mall. I want to play in the arena of the game" whined Arsenio as she moved her hand that was holding the hand of the mother. The tiny body also moves to the right and left.
"Honey, Mama invite you to play in the park only, not in the mall! How's it?" rayu Tania's. The woman was still a little traumatized by the incident a few days ago when she accidentally saw Miranda and Lidya who were in the bookstore.
"No way, Ma. I want to play in the mall. Come on, Ma, let's go now!" The hazel-eyed little boy insisted on Tania taking him for a walk. The eyeballs are like a kitten asking for milk.
Seeing how powerful Arsenio was, made Tania unbearable. His maternal instinct rose and the woman's heart was moved to comply with the child's wishes.
Take a deep, long breath, then exhale slowly. "Yes, Mama will invite you to play in the mall. But remember, you can't even get out of Mama and Mama Surti's sight, got it?" Arsenio nodded her head steadily.
In order to grant the wish of the prince, Tania willingly set aside her ego to bring Arsenio to go play in the mall. Surti, the babysitter Arsenio also watched over the genius boy while playing while Tania shopped for daily necessities.
"Bak Surti, you will take care of Arsenio when I stay shopping. Remember, don't let him out of your sight!" order Tania when they're at the mall.
Surti, a twenty-five-year-old woman nodded her head. "Okay, Ms. Tania."
The three stepped towards the second floor, where the playground was located. Put your knees on the floor, then rub the top of Arsenio's head. "Darling, you're fine here with Surti. Mom went shopping for a while. When you're done, Mama will come here and you'll play."
Arsenio nodded obediently. "Yes, Ma. Don't forget, buy me some vanilla-flavored ice cream."
The corner of Tania's lips was pulled upwards to form an arc-like arch. "OKAY. Play with other friends!" tell the woman to Arsenio. He made sure his beloved son entered the arena safely. After that, just leave the place.
A sweet smile continued to expand at the corner of Arsenio's lips. The boy seemed so happy that his wish had finally been achieved.
"I want to pee anyway" complained Arsenio. The boy paused for a moment his activities then a pair of eyes circulated his gaze around. Glance to the right and left, looking for directions where the toilet is located. "Aha .. That's her toilet." Uniting the thumb with the middle finger until a loud sound was heard shortly after seeing a sign that read the direction of the arrow towards the toilet.
Remembering Tania's message before going to the mall, Arsenio wanted to ask Surti for permission. However, the woman was even engrossed in playing a mobile phone. "I'd rather just go alone than bother Mrs Surti." Without a second thought, he walked alone towards the male toilet that was to the west of the gaming arena.
A five-year-old boy half-night runs because he's been stuck. As a result of not being careful, he accidentally bumped into someone. "Ouch!"
