MARRYING OLD GRANDPA

MARRYING OLD GRANDPA
ANEH


The news of the Orange pregnancy was welcomed happily by his family. Hardi and Yaya even almost every day come to the Sky house to accompany the Orange who somehow became spoiled. Orange so always want food cooked directly by the mother, food that the waiter prepared for her never eat.


Pregnant women often do something a little strange. Things that were natural became unnatural. And the unnatural becomes natural. Maybe because the hormone is not stable, also according to some beliefs, there is a mention of the peculiarities of pregnant women are often associated with the birth of the baby.


It turned out that not only Orange felt the strangeness, but also the Sky. Even one night Heaven wanted green bean porridge made by Alex. Alex couldn't make it. Lucky at that time Orange managed to persuade Sky to ask for green bean porridge by his mother Alex, not Alex. Orange says that Alex can't tell which salt and which sugar. If Alex made the porridge, it could be salty because Alex put salt in the porridge, not sugar.


Alex who could not make the porridge was just nodding resignedly assented the words of Orange. He didn't want to take the risk of making the food taste weird. Especially if until the sky is angry with him, as usual, the threat of the master is his monthly salary.


And that weird thing happened this morning. Sky and Orange are enjoying the breakfast that his mother Orange prepared. The Jingga family has been staying there since yesterday, including Mega. The sky that suddenly stopped his breakfast made everyone's attention turn to him.


“Why, mas?” Ask Orange.


The sky shook his head, he stared at the food on his plate then looked at Hardi who was also staring at him.


Making Hardi frown and ask, “What's wrong? What food did your mother make bad?”


The sky shook again, “Enak, as usual the food that you make is always good,” he said.


Mom smiles at her daughter-in-law's praise, “Then spend it, son. Add if necessary, your work every day must be very tiring, you need to eat a lot so that the energy in your body remains balanced,” he said.


The sky nodded, but he still did not touch his food. The others continued eating. “Dad..” call Sky suddenly.


Hardi turned his head, as well as Orange, mother and Mega. They were looking at the sky.


“What's the son?” Ask Hardi again.


“Can you, dad prepare me?” Ask the sky in a soft voice. He looked down like a child asking his father for something. It looks adorable but also sad.


Not only was Hardi surprised to hear Sky's request, but also Orange, mother and Mega. They looked at each other then looked back at the still-down Sky. Just imagine, the sky is like a child with his old face. His whitened beard made him look older, but his attitude was like a child that really needed the affection of both his parents.


Hardi then moved on, leaving his food that was half left, he sat to the left of Heaven. Because on the right side of the man there is an orange that looks pity on her husband. Maybe Sky is missing both parents. The atmosphere at the dining table turned silent, Mr. Lim, Ms. Rika and the servants who lined up not far from the dining table could only look down to hold back their pity. Because they know, the heavens don't like to be pitied. But the Master's request really made them feel pity for the man.


“Dad will bribe you, don't worry, dad is here,” said Hardi held haru. He knew very well how the sky felt, he became one of the people who witnessed how the growth of Heaven without his parents since the man was just a teenager.


The orange that had indeed become very sensitive had even shed tears, especially when Heaven opened his mouth when father started feeding him food. The sad look of Heaven made his heart ache too.


Mother approaches Heaven, standing between Heaven and Orange. Gently the middle-aged woman rubbed her daughter-in-law's shoulders, then embraced the orange shoulder that was hugging her waist.


While Mega, the girl just kept quiet and looked down when Alex just came. The intensity of their encounters has increased since the Orange became pregnant and they often visit the house to keep the Orange. But even though they met often, they never said hello. Only occasionally when they had to talk.

"This food tastes even more delicious, father.." said the sky with teary eyes. He smiled, then opened his mouth again as Hardi again bribed him.


"Then finish this meal, son." said Hardi.


The sky nodded a few times, the man looked excited. He turned to Orange, the woman smiled and rubbed her thighs, rubbing in the wrong place because it caused the vibration of electricity that momentarily made Heaven stop chewing.


The sky was indeed sensitive, let alone his kneeling bird. Even with just that kind of touch, the bird reacts.


"Hoeeeekk.."


The voice made everyone surprised, they turned their heads. It's not the orange that sounds like vomiting, but Mega. The girl got up and covered her mouth with one hand, running towards the bathroom not far from the kitchen.


Mom and Orange caught up with Mega, they looked anxious. While Sky and Hardi were still sitting with frowns full of questions.


And unexpectedly, Alex was reflex to run after Mega. made Mother and Orange turned to look at him. But for now, they're just worried about Mega.


"Sir, is it okay?" Ask Jingga while knocking on the door.


"Honey, open the door, son.." said mom. Yaya looked anxious, indeed lately the eldest daughter was often experiencing stomach disorders and spewed her food suddenly. He had even tried to invite Mega to the doctor to check himself, but Mega insisted on refusing. Mega just said his stomach acid rose or he was in the wind.


"Mom, is Mega often like this?" Ask Orange.


Mother nodded, "These few days you often vomit suddenly. I've taken her to the doctor, but your mom refuses.." explained mom.


The explanation that led Alex to turn his memory around on the night that his belt and pants zipper opened. Suddenly his heart rumbled, something stuck in his heart.


"Mom, can I persuade her and take her to the doctor?" alex said he was brave.


Mom and Orange looked at him, mother seemed to nod in doubt, "Sure son, try it.."


"Thank you ma'am, I'll try to persuade him" Alex said.


Mother just nodded, then looked questioningly at each other with an orange. Maybe they're wondering, since when are Mega and Alex close? Reach out never, but Alex dared to offer to take Mega to the doctor.
