Genius Children: Between Hate and Miss
Digestive Disorders

"Mbak Surti, make me vegetable soup mix meatballs dong. I think it's good to have lunch on that menu." Arsenio hand fingers pointed at some fresh vegetables that had been packed by minimarket guards.

Surti who was at that time buying some personal necessities turned to the side. "Den Arsen wants you to make some meatball soup?" ask the woman to reassure her small employer's request.

Arsenio's head nodded quickly. "Hu'um, will!" enthusiastic response.

Seeing beautiful eyeballs full of hope makes Surti could not bear to disappoint Arsenio. "All right, I'll make it. Let's go, let's pick up some vegetables and meatballs to cook this afternoon!"

"Ready Captain!" arsenio exclaimed by raising her right hand into the air as if she was respecting the superior.

It only took about thirty minutes, Surti finally finished shopping. All personal needs such as pads, handbody and skin care are already in the shopping bag. Likewise with the ingredients to make vegetable soup along with meatballs packaging already in his grip.

The distance between the minimarket and Tania apartment units is only about two hundred meters. Therefore, when Surti finished shopping, he and Arsenio went on foot to return to their residence.

"Bak, you'll have lots of meatballs and carrots, huh? I like to eat soup with lots of meatballs and carrots" Arsenio pinta while occasionally feeding ice cream into the mouth.

Surti smiled broadly at the request of his employer's son. "Yes, Ma'am must have made it according to Den Arsen's request."

Scorching weather during the day and the noise of passing vehicles on the streets did not dampen the spirit of Arsenio to spend a cup of his favorite ice cream. The boy looked so happy because soon he would eat vegetable soup made by the babysitter.

"As long as Mrs Surti cooks, Den Arsen wait in the room. Later, Ma'am calls Aden if the food is ripe."

Arsenio obediently obeyed Surti's orders. After washing his hands and feet, the boy stepped into the room. Meanwhile, Surti tidied up the groceries and began processing food for Arsenio.

Working for almost half a year made Surti more comfortable working at Tania's place. Moreover, the employer and his foster children have a kind nature, not stingy until the woman is very comfortable living with them. So no wonder if at this time Surti looks so happy to make vegetable soup according to Arsenio's request.

Tired of waiting, Arsenio finally decided to leave us. Her tiny feet were walking towards the kitchen. Remember if Surti bought four cups of chocolate flavored ice cream as stock during the next day's emoat, the handsome boy wanted to re-taste the pleasure of one of his favorite foods.

His hazel eyes blinked happily when he saw the black two-door fridge flower motif not far from its current position. Especially at this time the kitchen was quiet, maybe Surti was lifting clothesline because the situation outside was cloudy.

"Yes, golden opportunity! I'd better hurry up and grab that ice cream and eat it in the room before Surti's mom gets caught."

Without wasting too long, Arsenio pushed the stairs that were deliberately provided if members of the apartment unit had difficulty reaching for objects out of reach. Then he opened the fridge door and started picking up one cup of ice cream.

"Take two ah" said Arsenio. "Ehm .. three, let's not go back and forth." However, it is not three cups of ice cream that Arsenio took but four cups at once.

After Arsenio put back the wooden staircase in its original place, the little boy rushed back to the room. He turned on his iPad and watched Ipin Upin cartoons while feeding ice cream into his mouth.

"Now I call Den Arsen. She must be happy because her order is ripe." Surti left the dining table and walked towards one of the rooms in the apartment.

"Den Arsen, the food is ripe. Yuk get out first. If it's cold, it's not good to eat." Surti knocked on the door of Arsenio's room. But the door did not open either.

Surti again reached out to the front, knocking on the door leaf that said 'Little B' Room on the front. "Den Arsen's? The food is ripe. He said he wanted to eat some vegetable soup. You made it up." The young woman stood at the door of the room with an irregular heartbeat, worried that something might happen to her foster child.

The feeling of increasingly unsettled when he heard the sound of groans of pain sourced from inside Arsenio's room. So, Surti immediately turned the door handle and pushed the door leaf open wide.

"Jeez, Den Arsen! Aden why?" Surti widened his eyes when he saw the tiny body lying helplessly on the bed. The little boy's hands touched his stomach and his body position was circular, forming the letter C. Then, the female netra accidentally saw four cups of ice cream scattered on the floor.

Surti squatted and squatted beside the bed. "Den Arsen spent all the ice cream in the fridge?" urge the woman with a face full of anxiety.

Cold sweat sprang up on the surface of Arsenio's skin. The little boy replied, "Yes, Mom. I-I'm tired of waiting, so I-eat ice cream. B-But my stomach just hurt." More panic, Surti heard Arsenio's words.

Since childhood, Arsenio did have problems in her digestive tract. Arsenio will feel pain in his stomach if you consume too much cold drinks. Therefore, Tania always restricts her beloved child from overconsumption of anything.

"Oh, how is this? What am I supposed to do?" Surti's mind was empty, unable to think clearly. He was too panicked to understand what to do at this time.

If anything urgent happens, please do not hesitate to contact me! My phone number is 24 hours standby.

The words were again ringing in Surti's ears. With a lightning-fast motion the woman grabbed her mobile phone on the television buffet and contacted Tania.

"Duh, Ms. Tania, pick up the phone. Urgent here."

Surti pacing back and forth while biting his nails. The woman's chest was as tight as if the oxygen supply in the room was unable to fill the lungs.

"Well, I didn't pick up anyway! Where the hell is Bu Tania going?"

Surti didn't give up. Then, he called Tania's number again. However, repeatedly contacting Tania, the employer did not receive the call.

"Aargh, how is this!" shouts Surti frustrated. The woman rubbed her face violently. Guilt-struck for buying four cups of ice cream at once.
