Mommy ... I Want Daddy
Chapter 89 Letting Go of Tiredness
Mermaid-boy with a pink tail on the floor was about to kick a ball. It was hard to move. Sucking on the floor picking up the ball.
Hannah felt sorry. He lifted Ren. Put it in front of the goal. Rin helped get the ball. Ren kicked with his fish leg.
But the ball can't be straight. The ball moves to the left of the goal. Rin helped get the ball again. This time Ren tried to kick with a slightly tilted position. The ball came in.
"Goy ..." Ren gnawed his fish legs because he could not run for his goal ceremony.

Lucas came home after a long day of listening to seminars.
"Mr ..." Rin and Ren are delighted to welcome Lucas. Instantly, too, the fatigue in Lucas' body disappeared.
Hannah welcomes Lucas. "What was the seminar about?"
"About rare syndromes in children."
Hana knows a few syndromes in children. Something happened 1:1,000. Sometimes even 1:1,000,000.
Hana is grateful that her children are healthy even though Ren does not have a foot on his left foot.
Rin then shows her the photos and videos she took when Ren became a mermaid.
"Rin's body grew bigger in America. Her mermaid costume's tight." Hana explained.
"Indeed when I carried them. Especially Ren."
"The rendition eats a lot. If people used to eat three meals a day, Ren could eat four."
"Four times?"
"But Ren's got a lot of motion. The calories of the food he eats are burned."
...***...
Bend day.
Lucas took his family to the park. Seeing the pigeons. Ren is happy to chase the pigeons that are gathering because of the people who feed them.
The pigeons scatter and fly as Ren approaches.
Lucas and Rin go to the burger cart. They want to buy a burger. Rin saw the price of the burger. Two bucks.
"Dumpling." Rin looked at the confused seller. "Tent." Rin raised both of her palms.
Rin took out two ten-dollar bills from a tiny wallet inside her tiny sling bag and then gave the money to the seller. Pocket money from Richard.
"The money's for grandpa."
"But Grandpa is not here. Grandpa in Indonesia."
"That brother." Rin pointed at the man in the distance with gray hair and beard. A homeless person. Near the old man were a few more people.
Lucas invites Rin to buy a drink while waiting for the burger to ripen. Hana and Ren head to the nearest mini market. Rin chose ten cans of cola.
"Which one is it?" Lucas asked.
Ren pointed to one big bottle of sprite. "Ren could be finished?" Lucas would only allow Ren to drink a sip.
"Yen drinks a lot at yumah om Ayex." Rin leaked the secret. Rin closed her mouth. During this time they (Rin and Ren) used to drink sprites at Alex's house.
"Hana ..." Lucas's looking for Hana. Hana had run away before Lucas scolded her.
Lucas could not scold Hana in the public sphere. Later at home he will advise Hana. He still allowed his son and daughter to drink soda within reasonable limits.
They took the burger and distributed it to the old man and his friends.
"Thank you." They say thank you. Tonight at least they can sleep not hungry.
Lucas took his family to the beach. Lucas put the pedestal in the sand. Hana put food and drink. Then they enjoy it.
Lucas feeds Rin and Ren. Hana opened her mouth. He asked to be fed.
"Mama's a little boy." Rin mocked Hana while smiling. Hana smiled too.
Finish eating Rin and Ren hand in hand down the beach. When the waves approached, they moved away. Their laughter sounded.
Occasionally Ren squatted down taking the shells of the shells. Then put it again in the sand.
"PAPA! REN'S LEG." Rin shouted. Ren's fake legs were currently being washed away by the waves. Apparently Ren's leg was dislodged again. Ren's fake legs are made of lightweight but sturdy material so they are easy to carry on the waves.
Rin is about to go into the sea to retrieve Ren's prosthetic leg.
"DON'T." Lucas ran as fast as lightning. Preventing Rin who has stepped foot into the sea.
"Film ..." Lucas was relieved. He held onto Rin's body. They see Ren's prosthetic legs getting away from the waves. It can no longer be reached.
"Bye ... Bye ..." Ren waved his hand. Saying farewell with a prosthetic leg that has accompanied his days.
