Hope and Wish
H&W3Q. Galenic Interaction

"Why, Om? I'm evil, right? Sorry, Om. My baby can't be left." I thought Hamdan was sad because I couldn't attend his daughter-in-law's funeral. 

He used to tell me that he was a perfect fit with his daughter-in-law. Brother Harum is a sincere woman figure according to him, he is very happy because there are those who accept his son even though his son is in such a sad state. 

I only know at a glance, I also do not know for sure the factor that made him die other than fate. Because before, the late house looks healthy and fit. 

"Heart Om almost off, look at you Om kira Harum. Where Farah does not sleep, Om confused this child why. That's it, he's refusing the milk formula." Om Hamdan let go of his embrace and wiped his tears. 

No one was crying too, just tears. However, it is obvious that his eyes are red. 

"Oh, is this the baby? Farah is her name?" I poked the cheeks of babies held like babies in general. 

How old is he? 

"Yes, Son. Come in here, it's night. Kasian Dedeknya." Om Hamdan poked my son's cheek. 

His name was also Galen, he immediately took the fingers that poked him and put it in his mouth. Maybe he thought it was Pocky. 

That's why have teeth, Galen. To be able to eat Pocky with many flavors. 

"It is time to enter and enter things into the mouth, ati-ati jaga nih, Ra." 

I stepped inside om Hamdan's house, the location of the goods is still the same as when I came a year ago. Only, now there are ornamental plants in pots that are in the living room. 

Galen was noisy, he asked to be taken down. Even there, he was used to being left there and here. In fact, he likes to chase the broom robot to come here with the style of jumping his frog. He was used to wandering around, because indeed the house I occupied was quite safe for him. 

"Would you walk, Ra?" ask Hamdan, if I let Galen down. 

"No, Om. You can get down while you jump." I chuckled amusedly, then secured the location of the living room table. 

Galen is more detachable, as long as there is no cable or socket located below. If he is tired in such a position, he can sit by himself. Then, it will move by lying down and jumping again. 

"Here you are, Ra. Poor, maybe his chest hurts." Om Hamdan led him to the next room. 

Oh, it turns out that now his family room is placed a large foam mattress. It is no longer the sofa and desk as it once was, if television is still there. 

"Here, Bang." I waved my hand at Galen who was on the floor. 

"Adududamud…." Om Hamdan laughed and watched Galen move. 

"Farah, look at that brother." Om Hamdan walked slowly and brought Farah to look towards Galen. 

Farah was still like a limp baby. 

Because of tummy time, my month old baby already raised his head when he was on his stomach. At the age of two months, he can lie on his own and turn himself despite his efforts so hard. 

I watched the height of the bed. "Nitip Galen for a second, Om. I'm going to the bathroom, he can go up and down a bed this tall by himself." The mattress that may be high is only an inch. 

"Huh? Seriously? Okay-okay." Om Hamdan. 

I knew where the bathroom was and I went straight to the back. I once stayed a day here, I was a shameless guest once. 

I finished urinating and washing my hands, I quickly went out the bathroom was very clean for a house inhabited by men. 

"Hahhhhh!" My breath immediately hunted, I was shocked to see a wide back in front of my eyes as I opened the door. 

I guess, it's a headless ghost. 

Bang Workshop did not say a word, or just mince words if I was in a state of shock. He was silent, not reprimanding me or greeting me just for the formality of hospitality. 

"Yenne…. Uh. na…."

I heard Galen's fussy voice. Is he sleepy? We promised to stay up. It's Sunday night, long night of course. 

I immediately left the back area of this house, then came to see Galen in the living room. He was crawling up to the lap of om Hamdan, it was a signal he asked for a sling. 

"Take a ride with Mamah here, Bang?" I used to call Galen 'bang', because he was my firstborn. 

He nodded, pulling my hand. He kekeh wants to be lifted by om Hamdan only, maybe he misses his grandfather. 

"This is Farah's milk, Dad." Bang Workshop appeared with a milk pacifier. 

"Lift Farah, Han. Brother asked to carry this." Om Hamdan grabbed the milk pacifier, then the workshop prepared to take over the baby girl. 

Father is in charge. His mother died, his son was taken over by his father. Not infrequently, his son was raised by his maternal grandmother and grandfather. 

Galen started to step up again. He parked the position and instead patted one of the backs of the legs of the Workshop bang that went up to the mattress, Galen began to grow noisy and he raised both hands so that he alone was carried. 

"Hmm, Dedek Farah is with Grandpa. His brother asked to hold on for a second, De." Bang Workshop urung lifting baby Farah. 

He lifted up Galen's body and hugged her. 

Bang Workshop is taller than my brother and my father. I, who was behind him, felt like I was hiding behind him. 

Galen let out a crisp laugh, as his head was facing backwards. Because he could see me watching his fussy behavior. 

Galen is like addicted to being carried by men, maybe because there is used to being carried by his grandfather. Plus, he was clearly lacking the affection of a father. From his grandfather, he certainly did not lack affection. His grandfather also had a child. His affection and time are clearly limited and divided. 

"It's not dad, son. Are you excited?" Bang Workshop kissed Galen's cheek, he invited Galen to interact. 

"Yyyyyyy…." Galen opened his mouth and devoured the face of the Workshop bang. 

He doesn't like to be kissed, everybody. He looked annoyed, because his cheek was pierced by a mustache feather. 

However, I laughed because I heard the laughter of the Workshop so loose and crisp. I slightly shifted my position to see Hamdan's reaction. 

For a moment, he froze to see his son's response like that. Then, he turned to look at me and smiled. He pointed at his son, as if he wanted to raise up so I could see his daughter's reaction. 

"Om bite back. Iiiiiii, aemmmmm…." Bang Workshop showed all his teeth and opened his mouth. 

Galen was more loosely chuckled, Galen was a happy baby since being sun-dried at home. I'm a normal baby in the midwife, with the baby weighing three to five kilograms. But Galen's skin and eyes turned yellow after three days at home. 

Due to the cloudy weather, it is never sunburned. Eventually, he was referred to the hospital. Then after a week in the hospital, he went home and felt sun dried directly in the morning sun. There he is often seen smiling, especially if wearing sunglasses because of my prank. 

I knew at the time he couldn't be joked, he didn't understand anything, he couldn't respond and maybe he couldn't see. But he smiled often. Until gradually according to the month of growth, he became a happy baby and laugh. 

I'm grateful for that. 

"Udah tuh, widow bring children, widower bring children," said Hamdan as I was engrossed in observing the interaction of biting each other. 

After all, it made us throw one another a glance.
