The 12-year-old boy was smiling brightly. Grasping a lollipop in his hand, he stared around the crowd at his eye-catching home.
"Mommy!" he cried when he saw the mother was preparing food at the dining table with her other brother.
Hearing her son calling, the mother approached her son. "Abang seneng really, yes, can you meet aunty from mommy and daddy?" the boy nodded with his bright smiling face.
"Abang also seneng loh, mom, can meet grandfather, grandmother, same eye also here." The mother smiled, then rubbed her child's head affectionately.
"It's the biggest moment you can wait for every year. Gather a big family of mommy same daddy in the house eyang, right?" The boy nodded with excitement.
Indeed, large family gatherings between the two parties are often held at the end of each year. In addition to letting go of longing with relatives, this is also one way to keep the harmony of both parties.
"Mommy Seneng squirms brother Al seneng," said the mother.
The boy pressed his lips. "Aldo, mom! Aldo!" With a loud voice because they do not like the call from the mother. He felt the call was too childish.
The mother only chuckled anxiously at the reaction of the son. This is what happens if he calls his only son by the name of Al. "okay-okay. Mommy's son is an adult, wants to be called Aldo's brother?"
The boy called Aldo nodded, confirming the mother's words.
All of a sudden Aldo patted his head. "Oh yes mom!"
"Why baby?" ask the mother.
"I miss the Word, brother wants to play with him. Ituloh his son is an eyang driver" said Aldo. Actually this is the most awaited moment by Aldo, namely meeting his best friend. Because if you play with the Word, Aldo gets new things. In fact, he can do various things that he had never found in the city where he lived.
"You want to meet the Word?" Aldo nodded his head. "Deploy a promise as well. Can you, yeah, mom?"
The mother did not allow it a little. It was nothing, he was only worried if his son was troubling others. And Aldo has never been away from him all this time. He was always by Aldo's side, and hearing his son would stay over made his heart a little heavy to allow. But, seeing the happy face that emanated on the face of the son, he could not bear to disappoint him.
With a heavy heart, the mother nodded her head in agreement. "Mommy gave my brother permission, but only a day, yes. Before leaving for the house of Firman, brother permission same daddy, grandmother, grandfather, and also eye. Let them not riweh nyariin brother," said the mother slightly chuckled.
It's only natural that Aldo was treated that way. He is the only grandchild of the mother's family, and is the first grandson of the father's family. Aldo's presence in the midst of his family is a gift and a source of happiness. Therefore, any gift will always flow to Aldo.
"Ready!" aldo answered loudly, with a respectful attitude towards his mother.
"I'll let you go, yeah, mom." Aldo kissed the mother's hand, "go down, mom, I want to kiss my beloved mom."
The mother lowered her head while chuckling to hear the mere speech of her son. Aldo kissed the mother's entire face, then he hugged the slender body of the woman who was already pregnant.
"Momny promised he wouldn't leave you as long as you're nginep, right?"
"Where's mommy going?" ask the mother a little confused.
Aldo turned sullen, "who knows daddy took mommy to give my baby sister to me!"
The mother laughed when she heard the words of her favorite child. "No! Mommy promised bang!"
"Promise!?" Aldo and his mother put their ring fingers together.
"Udah, yes, dear mommy brother. Brother let's go first, bye!" he said waving his right hand, with a left hand that continued to hold the lollipop of the gift from the mother.
"Jangn forgot daddy's permission!" shouted his mother who only responded to the thumbs by Aldo.
Seeing his son leave made his heart uneasy. And increasingly worried his son why-why. "Hopefully it's just my feelings" he murmured.
...----------------...
It turned out that in the backyard was gathered his other brother. And also the father who was there, talking with his grandfather, grandmother, and also his eyes. Aldo immediately ran to his father. Sometimes he also prayed to his brothers who were playing.
He was very happy with the crowd like this, unlike in his house which only had him, his mother, and also his father. As well as several domestic assistants, bodyguards and drivers.
"Daddy!" call Aldo.
The father turned his head, and the three people sitting in front of him looked at Aldo. Seeing Aldo who was about to approach them, made the four of them smile warmly.
"Why is Grandma's granddaughter screaming?" said the grandmother. "Sit's sitting next to grandma, now Grandma's granddaughter wants to grow up."
Aldo smiled awkwardly, then approached the grandmother. "I want permission" he said to the point.
"I have permission from mommy, and mommy gave permission. This is more precisely to tell you, if I now want to go to the house Word his son Om Kardi to do nginep."
"No! Daddy disagreed," said the father in a stern tone.
Aldo was shaking his lips. "I told mommy that daddy wouldn't let me go!" aldo said with teary eyes. Aldo was a little afraid of his father who was sometimes strict with him.
"Ares has allowed Aldo to stay, Alinda has allowed. And also Aldo rarely met with his best friend," said eyang who embraced Aldo.
"Grandfather if you want permission to make nginep to the house of the Word, grandparents love permission. Rarely, do you, meet the Word?"
Aldo's face turned happy. Grandpa, grandma, and also her eyes are always trying to make her happy. Although in their hearts they objected, but they could not bear to see Aldo's face that looked sad.
"But do not be reckless if at home Om Firman?" said the grandmother while stroking the love of Aldo's hair.
"Ready!"
"You're being ushered in the same way as Om Kardi, huh? All Om kardi Eyang told to go home early, after all today and so on will not go anywhere. Let Om Kardi can take care of Aldo as well," said eyang.
Ares seemed unwilling to let the child go far by his side. Despite staying at the place of people he knew, Arws was still worried.
"Daddy don't pout, I promise you a day!"
"Hm, okay," he replied lethargicly.
Eyang chuckled to see the son who looked unwilling to let Aldo to stay over. Although actually he also wants to linger with Aldo, but the grandson must also miss his best friend who only visited once a year.
"That's Om Kardi" ucao Eyang pointed at Kardi who was walking towards him.
"Kardi, I'm taking my granddaughter, huh? I trust him to you."
Kardi nodded as she replied, "well, sir."
"I go first, Grandma, Kek, Eyang, and also daddy darling!" aldo said cheerfully. Before he actually left, he kissed his father's face affectionately.
"Daddy jangn is sad, bye!"
Aldo slowly walked away from the four faithful looking at the small back. While walking, Aldo chatted which fortunately Kardi always responded to it without getting bored.
Too cool to tell stories to make Kardi laugh crisp, Aldo involuntarily hit someone at the main entrance of his eye home.
"Aw!" peekkik Aldo's.
Panicked Cardi immediately looked at Aldo's head, without seeing who Aldo had hit. Actually it was not so painful, it was just that Aldo was shocked as well as reflexes.
"Are you okay, baby?"
Aldo and Kardi looked up, then Aldo cheered happily. "Of!"
Kardia took a step back, staring at the interaction of the uncle and nephew. Staring intensely at each movement of the two.
"Be careful if you walk, huh?"
Aldo nodded, "okay!"
"Om how long is it here?"
The man called Om seemed to think for a while. "Two days, maybe."
Aldo nodded his head. "Yaudah, I'm permission to go, yes, om!"
The face of the man in front of Aldo seemed to show a confused look, "where to go?"
"Mini market ahead." It was not Aldo who answered, but Kardi. "Then we excuse you, sir," said Kardi, then holding Aldo's hand to the car that has been provided.
Before he actually left the house, he turned to the man who had just stepped on the adults with a sharp look and full of intimidation.
After Aldo's departure, the man's face returned flat and stared at the small back with a hard-to-understand look.
