Training to Be a Dad
Pandu this time took Ervita and Indi to one of the dining places in the Mall. Pandu also asked what food Ervita wanted to eat this afternoon? Is not so visible that Pandu is a figure of attention and also wants to give the opportunity to Ervita to be able to choose what she wants.
"What do you want to eat Vi?" ask Pandu later.
"Just give it up" replied Ervita.
Pandu glanced at the woman walking beside him, "Don't just be up, Vi. I'm just happy if you can honestly say what you like" Pandu replied.
That's how Pandu is, he doesn't like it if a relationship is based only on what he wants. The relationship is two-way. Him and his partner. Therefore, Pandu also did not mind if Ervita made a choice.
"Seriously, I'm up to Mas Pandu only" he replied.
Pandu smiled, "Alright ... This time I choose, next time you choose," he replied.
Ervita nodded her head, she then followed Pandu into one of the restaurants inside the Mall.
"Choose for Indi, Vi," said Pandu by presenting a menu book to Ervita.
After looking through the menu book, Ervita also chose Meatballs and white rice for Indi. "Indi, Meatballs and Rice white only Mas .. who berkuah, he likes kok," he replied.
"What did you eat?" ask Pandu again.
"I share Indi only," replied Ervita.
Pandu quickly shook his head, "Message yourself, Vi. Message well, this time do not refuse," replied Pandu.
Finally Ervita sighed and ordered Fried Rice only. Because, Ervita himself is not sure whether the message will also run out. While Pandu chose to order Seafood Fried Bakmi.
Indira herself had sat in the baby chair and looked engrossed with a book of flannel that Ervita had brought from home. Indira's favorite book containing the sea animals.
"Take you and Indi like gini, I'm all training to be a good father, Vi," said Pandu suddenly.
Really, it felt like Ervita was so stunned. Why Pandu seems to be trying to be a father for Indira. There is no blood relationship between the two.
"Mas Pandu has done his best" replied Ervita.
Pandu apparently shook his head, "Not yet, Vi .. I married you and I will be the Father to Indi. So, I'm going to learn to be a good father to my son" he replied.
Again Ervita is made touched by the character Pandu. A young man who was far-sighted and so wise. Really, maybe Ervita just this time found a really good male figure.
"Makasih Mas Pandu ... Indi who was orphaned since in the womb, did not have a father, even his nasab went to his mother's nasab, but Mas Pandu gave him the opportunity to feel the affection of a father," said Ervita.
Just saying that, Ervita's two eyes were already glazed over there. Indeed, Ervita character is so melancholic, easy to cry and touched. However, when someone is sincere and touches his heart, it feels like tears can come down just like that.
"Don't cry. I love you both" I'll guide you honestly.
Ervita lowered her head and wiped the first clear grain in the corner of her eye, before the tears fell. Until finally the waiter serves their dishes, and Ervita feeds Indira first.
"Take a meal yes Indi .. yuk, Mother bribe yuk," he said.
"Aco .. aco ... (Bakso ... Meatballs)," he said who wanted to eat meatballs.
Ervita cut the meatballs in small pieces and began to feed Indira with white rice as well. Pandu looked to observe Ervita who was feeding Indira.
"Eh, Mom ... Mas Pandu eat only," he replied.
"Nothing. Learning to be a father. Later if you are married, teach others yes, Vi .. let it get better and pass to become a father for Indi," Pandu replied again.
Until finally Pandu also fed Indira there. Even the two took turns to feed Indira, sometimes also Pandu smiled when Ervita a little singing softly children's songs so that Indira wanted to eat.
"You don't eat?" ask Pandu later.
"Before Mas .. mumpung Indi new ravenously," replied Ervita.
Pandu nodded his head, apparently by looking closely like this, Pandu can guess the daily life of Ervita and Indira more or less like this. A Mother who prioritizes filling her child's stomach first, making sure her child eats with fullness, then a mother fills her stomach.
"Like Shrimp, Vi?" ask Pandu later.
"Lumayan, Mas .. although in Solo used to eat freshwater Shrimp, not Shrimp from the Sea," he replied.
Pandu took some shrimp from his plate and put it on Ervita's plate. "The money is for you only," said Pandu later.
Finally after Indira was full, then Ervita began to eat his Fried Rice even though it was half cold. However, no problem, after all Nasi Goreng from the restaurant won so well.
"When do we go for a walk again, Vi ... in this Jogja, where do you want to go?" ask Pandu later.
"Binnatang ... beast," said Indira.
"You want to go to the Indian Zoo?" ask Pandu by looking at Indi.
"Yes, au," she replied.
Pandu then returned smiling, "Saturday yes Vi ... to the Zoo," he asked this time.
"Mas, no need .. it is troublesome Mas Pandu. I'm just being bad" she replied honestly.
Pandu shook his head, "It's okay. All approaches and so that we get to know each other better," replied Pandu.
What Pandu wants is to get to know Ervita and Indira. He still has to solidify himself in order to be worthy of Ervita and her son. Dating brings children no problem for Pandu, because his heart is so sincere for Ervita and also her little daughter.
"Padalah has known for a long time," said Ervita while eating his Fried Rice.
"Yes, there's just not much we know about each other. This time, we both know and share stories. Never before" said Pandu.
Ervita nodded her head, "I'm too sorry for Mas Pandu" he replied.
"While why? Just plain, Vi ...."
"Yes, just think about it, Mas .. so I am also confused young people like Mas Pandu kok want to same Ervi who is just kayak gini," he replied with a sigh.
Again Pandu smiled, "You are good, Vi .. You are the Mother who always fights for Indira. The value you have is so incredible."
That was the judgment of a Pandu, a young man who could see how Ervita became a single mother to her daughter. Always try the best for her daughter, and always strong, although Pandu is very know in her daily life often Ervita feels fragile. The attitude that wants to rise from the slump is what makes Pandu admire Ervita.
