Love Mr. Arogan
be kind

Since the trip home, Sean and I just kept quiet. I thought about what I should tell Mama about Papa. Not long after we finally got home.

We found Mama and Naina watching television. I approached the two women who were talking about it. I don't know what they're talking about until they don't realize I and Sean's coming between them.

"Ma... Andre has some bad news about Mama's husband."

Mama turned her head towards me while putting on an astonished look.

"What's wrong with her?" Mama said curiously.

I began to explain to Mama the events and conditions experienced by Papa. About his illness that recurred while at the headquarters. Mama was silent but the view was still on me. The middle-aged woman had absolutely no questions about Papa's condition. Seeing Mama who has no response, I explained in more detail about her illness.

I also asked Mama to visit the man and take care of him. But my mother refused my request. I understand why Mama refused. I'm sure Mama must be confused by this condition. The middle-aged woman did not have a heart that would be out of hand if something happened to Papa. The four of us were silent for a moment and busy with our thoughts. Naina's been watching me ever since I talked to Mama. Seen from his movements he wanted to say something.

After looking at Naina for a moment I remembered Naina's request this morning when I left for the office. Turns out I forgot to bring the order. The situation in the living room was still quiet, I began to move from them. As she stepped up, Naina opened her voice and shifted her silence.

"Master... Didn't you bring my order?" Naina asked curiously.

I turned back and looked at him with a clumsy smile. Mama and Sean look at each other not understanding the words of Me and Naina.

I sat down next to Naina and explained that I forgot and didn't think about it at all because of Papa. Hearing my words, Naina just silently did not respond. Sean finally asked about Naina's request. I explained to them. The two of them chuckled while looking at Me and Naina alternately. Sean offers his help to Naina to buy the five-foot fried banana but Naina shakes her head to reject Sean's offer.

"I want Mr. Andre to buy it" Naina said, looking down.

I was gaping to hear Naina's words just now. Mama and Sean again chuckled amusedly as my name was called Naina. I stared at Naina's oval face.

"Why should I?" Ask wonder.

Mama opens her voice explaining that Naina's desire is not her desire, but the desire of the child in Naina's womb. I listened enthusiastically to every explanation of Mama. After being ready to hear Mama talk at length I finally decided to bring Naina and buy her the food she asked for.

It had been almost an hour more the car we were driving was pacing around this highway, but during that time also Naina did not find what she was looking for. I started grumbling at Naina.

Naina doesn't care about my every move. He was still casually chirping on the side of the road.

"What are you looking for?" I said pissed.

"A-nu Sir...."

"Anu what!"

"Mmmm.... Don't buy fried bananas, don't like them."

Without waiting for long, I turned the wheel of the car and immediately went home. On the way I only mumbled to Naina. He did not reply to every word I said. The woman just stared straight at the road ahead.

We arrived home a few minutes. I got out of the car while Naina was still there. I knocked on the car window followed by my order to get him out of the car. Seeing me who was starting to grow angry Naina also complied and followed her inside.

Mama saw our arrival. Mama approached Naina.

"Lohs... Why don't you bring anything?" Ask Mama wonder.

Because I don't want to hear Mama linger, I immediately explained to her so she didn't misunderstand. Mama's just a sign of understanding. Thank goodness I said in my heart.

That night, Sean and I had dinner together followed by Mama. Naina was busy taking care of the dinnerware. Bak wants to fight, Naina pacing independently from front to back.

"Where aunt? Why are you the only one I've seen pacing around in this room, Naina?" My grunt is a little irritated.

Sean and Mama chuckled at the words I said to Naina.

"Auntie and the others are resting, sir, sorry if I disturb the peace of the Master." He said as it passed from us.

Naina's actions that suddenly passed from before us made me feel uneasy. I was afraid that the woman would cry again.

Since Naina's pregnancy was a little bit difficult to understand, making me have to be careful when conveying things. Mama said that if her mother is depressed when pregnant, the child born will hate her father. Mama's words horrified me when it would happen like that. Either that's true or not only Mama knows.

Not to be so bad to think, I went back to eating the food that was in front of me. Suddenly my phone rings. I talked to someone from across the street. After closing the incoming call, Mama asked who called these nights.

I started to talk at length to Mama that the one who called earlier was Papa. He wants to meet with Mom. When I said that Mama stopped her eating, the middle-aged woman took a glass of water and drank it. Then he explained that he was still hurt by Papa's actions.

The old woman was scared when she started to feel sorry for him, and the man became more and more. Mama doesn't want to be a shield for him. Mama told me everything about the old man's behavior. Mama also said it was time for the man, who nearly half a century ago, to feel all this.

I tried to persuade Mama to see him just this once. I'm sorry to see Papa's current situation. Honestly, I feel guilty for her. But what Mama said was true as well. I still have to monitor Papa's every move.

After a long time of persuasion, Mama's heart was finally moved as well. Me, Sean and Mama went straight to where Papa was being treated. Not long before we got there. Mom went in and saw her husband lying weakly on the hospital bed.

Papa who noticed our arrival slowly opened his eyes. He smiled to see Mama standing in front of him at this moment. Papa grabs Mama's hand and starts apologizing for all of her past behavior. Mama was still silent not to reply to her husband's every remark.

I don't know what kind of wind pushed Papa so he said sorry to me and Mama. To be honest when remembering all his behavior is not that easy to forgive him. But my little heart still hopes that his words are sincere so that everything can be repaired.

A harmonious family is the dream of every person and every child in the world. Same with me. Although this is too late but there is no harm if it starts again to organize the heart. I don't want this cold war to go on continuously either.
