Ricka hears Richard's car entering the house next door. "Papa." He wants to see his papa.
"Ricka wait here. Papa said to mama, papa's here." Hana tells Ricka that she's already moving towards the outside door.
Shortly after, Richard arrived. He brought a gift of a Boba jumbo doll the size of a gallon of water.
*boba doll: a doll in the form of a Boba drink complete with suction. Available in various sizes.
Richard turned on the flickering lights on Boba's doll. Ricka hugged the soft doll.
While Ren imagines drinking a boba drink that big.
Another with Hana. He checked the whole doll. There are lights means there is batrenya. He often heard toddlers die or are seriously ill from accidentally swallowing a batre.
It turns out that the batrenya location is covered by stitches in the doll. So, it's safer.
What if the batrenya leaks? Isn't that poison. Hannah tried to calm herself. Sometimes they like to think too much.
"Ricka likes? Say thank you to Papa" said Hana.
Ricka just smiled. Showing her tiny white teeth. A smile that melted Richard's heart.
"Ricka today I brought it home." Richard told Hana.
Hana allowed it because Ricka was Richard's son. Besides, if he misses Ricka, he'll just walk for a little while to the house next door.
Richard saw Robert coming to visit. He knew Robert when he and Hana were engaged. And Richard also realized that Robert also liked Hana. Robert goes to America also out of heartbreak because Hana is engaged to Richard.
Richard and Robert spoke for a moment. Shortly after, Robert returned home.
"Father, Emo." Ricka points at Ren's tiny robot, Robert's handout.
Richard finally understood. He plans to buy Ricka a robot when Ricka is a little older. If he buys it now, it could be quickly damaged by being slammed Ricka.
"Emo." Ricka called out to the mini robot in front of him.
Ricka's vocabulary is still a little. But he was encouraged to speak so that Emo could move.
Ren picks up Emo who is already in full cas from his skateboard.
"Yicka said Emo dance." Ren taught Ricka.
"Emo," said Ricka. Emo starts to react when called upon. "Dance's." Eventually Ricka's vocabulary grew by two words today. Makes Richard want to immediately buy Ricka a robot that can move when ordered.
Ren and Ricka dance with Emo.
"Ricka's coming home with Papa." Richard started holding Ricka. He's gonna bring Ricka home.
Ricka has two homes. One of her mother's houses. Another one of his birth papa's. Make it back and forth two houses. Three if count Rebecca's house, Oma Ricka from Richard.
"Pamit with Mama, with Brother Ren," said Richard.
Ricka waved her hand. Hana kissed Ricka on her tiny cheek.
The atmosphere calmed down after Ricka left. Ren seemed to be the youngest child now.
"Mama look." Ren began to show the break dance he had just learned.
Hana was horrified to see Ren's head down with both feet in the air. In the past he would directly forbid Rei when doing break dance. But now it's more flexible.
Everything has risks. Break dance sometimes can indeed make the dancer mild/severe injury, severe bone or others. But being careful will reduce the risk.
