Kimmy is seen cupping Elga's hair who is now sitting on her back. The honey-colored curls were glistening due to the glare of the sun. The two were sitting by the wide-open window of the room, leaving their bodies toasty with the warm morning sun.
Oh Mr's. Sun, Sun
Mr. Golden Sun's
Please shine down on me
Oh Mr's. Sun, Sun
Mr. Golden Sun's
Hiding behind a tree
Elga's voice lit up the quiet room. Kimmy struggled to tie Elga's hair because she had to follow her nephew's head which was held to the left and to the right in line with the song sung by her tiny lips.
Elga's singing stopped. Likewise with Kimmy who has managed to pigtail Elga's hair neatly. Their attention caught each other towards the open bathroom door and showed Jasson coming out of it bare-chested and with a towel draped around his neck.
"Uncle is done showering?" ask Elga.
"Yes, I've, baby." Jasson dried her wet flap hair with one side of a towel draped around her neck. Walk closer. However, his eyes were fixed on Kimmy. The two female eyes greeted him very warmly.
"Prepare, we'll take Elga for a walk" he told Kimmy. But the one who was horrendous was even Elga.
Both Elga eyes are patterning, the corneas are increasingly showing the bright color. "Walk?" ask him in disbelief.
"Yes, you don't want to go out with your doctor's aunt and Uncle?" Jasson sat crouching, waving a gentle swipe at one of his nephew's increasingly rounded cheeks. Obviously, because Elga's weight every month always adds one kilo. In her current age of growth, Alana is intensively fulfilling Elga's nutritional intake.
"Of course I want to" he cheered excitedly. Elga sprang into Jasson's arms and left a kiss on her uncle's cheek as thanks escaped on her tiny lips.

For a whole day, Kimmy and Jasson take Elga for a walk, a zoo and an amusement park. Eating chocolate and ice cream has become an obligation for them to enjoy when taking Elga for a walk like this. However, here that looks very amused is Kimmy. The woman was very painstaking looking after Elga and followed her niece who was very active running around to and fro. Maybe it was time for the woman to have a child. That's what Kimmy wants, and so does Jasson.
Kimmy's facial complexion had been relentlessly developing a smile since the morning. It was as if Elga was the only reason the woman had to forget all the troubles and also the burden that lately shook her emotions.
So did Jasson who looked happy to see the scene. The man is now sitting under the shady trees. His eyes could not help but notice Elga and Kimmy who were busy playing throwing bracelets at the end there. The breeze that afternoon tore through the leaves of a tree that some of it had looked dry until it fell on the ground. Not infrequently one or two dry leaves were tucked in Jasson's hair.
A soft smile covered Jasson's lips, barely noticeable, but the man could feel it as the shadows of several small children and Kimmy ran around in his mind. Yes, the man was imagining how he and Kimmy would become parents when they had a child. In fact, before marriage, Jasson never thought to have children in his young age. All he had in mind at that time was just doing business and owning a company, but for some reason, it seemed he was now impatient to want a child from Kimmy. It's probably gonna be a lot of fun. Moreover being able to see his wife smiling like that every time.
Elga is seen running towards Jasson, followed by Kimmy who is walking briskly from behind. Their steps were heard clearly as the scattering of dry foliage surrounding the chair occupied by Jasson was stepped on by their feet.
"Uncle, I'm bored." Elga extended her hand upwards as Jasson's hand lifted and placed the girl's tiny body onto her lap. Both of Elga's tiny hands curled around Jasson's neck and rested her head on one of her shoulders.
"Do you want to go home?" Jasson brushed off the dried leaves that had just fallen off and slipped in Elga's hair.
"Yes, I want to go home. I miss Mami and Bryen's sister." Elga yawned while nodding her head. His nephew looked so tired. How not to get tired. From morning to evening he did not stop playing.
"Elga seems very tired, we better take her home" Kimmy said. His steps just stopped.
"You also seem tired. Let's go home."
***
Jasson and Kimmy are traveling to Alana's house to deliver Elga. His nephew was seen silent on Kimmy's lap, his head leaning against the woman's chest. Very henry and not too much chattering as usual. Maybe because too tired due to a day of playing.
The evening welcomes them to Alana's house. Jasson takes Elga from Kimmy's sling and brings her niece into the house.
"You're back?" Alana welcomes Kimmy and Jasson when the door of the house has just opened before they knock on the door.
"Yes, Elga herself asked to go home. He said he missed you and Bryen" Jasson replied.
"Mommy's Child ...." Alana takes Elga from Jasson's hands, landing a kiss on her daughter's cheek that appears to be awake but has no voice. Alana tells Jasson and Kimmy to go inside the house, allowing them to sit there. Shortly after that. Ken and Daven are seen coming out of the room and sitting down.
"Why does Bryen live alone?" exciting Alana.
"He just went to sleep." Ken landed his body to sit next to Alana. So did Daven who sat next to Ken; exactly opposite Kimmy, to make Jasson's mood did not improve as before.
Like watching a thief. Jasson's eyes did not let Daven and Kimmy out of his sight.
"Ehm, Alana, Sister ... Then Kimmy and I go home" said Jasson.
"Why so rushed. Let's have dinner first," Alana asked.
"Aunt Doctor and Uncle stay here only," Elga's request undoes their intentions of barely leaving her seat.
"Yes, you guys just stay here. Tomorrow is sunday. You guys never stay here either" Ken said.
"Once in a while you stay here." - Daven. His gaze and smile pointed towards Kimmy. Makes Jasson even less fond of her.
"Yes, Jasson. We'll just stay here." Kimmy asked expectantly while holding Jasson's arm. However, Jasson instead returned it with a cold look. Is it because there's Daven he's so excited to stay here? his inner.
"Well, why look at me like that." Kimmy's smile shrunk. The woman was frozen. He took his hands away from Jasson, and turned his eyes away until he dared no longer speak his opinion.
"Next time we stayed here. We don't want to trouble you all" Jasson said.
"Absolutely not a hassle, are you, Daddy?" elga timpal. His gaze was waiting for a response from Ken.
"What are you talking about?" exclaim Ken. "We're a family, so there's no such thing as a hassle" Ken said.
"Come ... Uncle and Aunt stay here." Elga whining. His two little hands clenched with full supplication. Actually Jasson was really reluctant. The reason may be that there was Daven there, though the man's heart denied it. However, not having the heart to see Elga who almost cried. Jasson had to obey his nephew to stay there.
***
After dinner with Alana's family. Jasson and Kimmy went to the guest room that Bi Ester had prepared earlier. Kimmy was seen just coming out of the bathroom wearing the clothes Alana had lent her. He immediately dropped his body on the bed, precisely next to Jasson who is now reading a book that he had borrowed from Daven.
"You're so tired?" ask Jasson.
"Maybe carrying Elga too much."
"No" Kimmy argued. "I just don't rest."
"Yes, then get some rest quickly." Jasson rubbed Kimmy in the head. The woman nodded and immediately closed her eyes.
"Aunt Doctor ...." Elga's voice instantly shut Kimmy's eyes, who just wanted to rest her body. His and Jasson's attention turned to the partially open door of the room and presented Elga's head with a smile.
"Dear." Kimmy smile. He immediately got up to sit down. "Come in" Kimmy ordered, ignoring his hand.
Elga's coming in. He walked quickly towards Kimmy. His hands are seen carrying picture books and also dozens of crayons neatly arranged in a box. The girl wrapped her strings onto the bed and sat down in front of Kimmy, her smile still painting her adorable innocent face.
"What's up, honey?" Kimmy rubbed Elga's cheeks very gently, the smile that was on her lips did not reveal that she was very tired.
"Auntie, let's play picture-drawing." Elga's request could not make Kimmy refuse. He gladly accepted Elga's request. Although, in fact, he was very tired and sleepy. However, he really could not bear to refuse the request of his favorite nephew.
"All right, let's play."
Jasson was disturbed by Elga's request to invite Kimamy to play. The book he had opened since then was now neglected by him. He could see that Kimmy was really very tired, and he wasn't quite that tired.
"Elga, come with Uncle for a second." Jasson closed the book he was holding and placed it on the nightstand.
"Where are you taking Elga, Jasson?" ask Kimmy.
"Just wait here!"
"Where would the uncle take me? I want to play with Doctor's Aunt."
"Here you go, come with Uncle for a second." Jasson got out of bed. He took Elga by force and took her out of the room. Jasson shut the door and pulled Elga down from her cradle in front of the room.
"Why did Uncle bring Elga here? I want to play with Doctor's Aunt."
"Darling ... play it tomorrow again, only, yes." Jasson rubbed Elga's head, wanting to make her understand.
"No way, Elga wants to play with Aunt Doctor now," Elga said. His face was grouchy.
"She said Elga wanted a baby sister?"
"Baby sister?" both Elga's silver eyes were rounded. His red cheeks stood out even more.
"Yes, baby sister. Does Elga want to make a baby sister?"
"Of course you want to, Uncle." Elga's body tiptoed vigorously.
"If you want to make a baby sister. Play tomorrow, yeah, honey. Let Auntie Doctor in the room to rest" Jasson said.
"Alright, Elga won't take Aunt Doctor to play. But, can Elga accompany Doctor's Aunt in the room?"
"No, my Aunt the doctor must not be disturbed. So, Elga is now back in Mami's and Daddy's room, yes" she said.
"Well, for the baby's sister .. for the baby's sister ...."
"Sst ... Don't be hard."
"Why, Uncle?"
"It's a secret, don't tell anyone." Elga clenched her tiny lips and smothered them tightly. Think of his head as the answer to Jasson's request.
"Secret" whispered Elga as she ran away leaving Jasson. Jasson joked about his niece's adorable behavior. Unexpectedly, his nephew could be persuaded easily just because of the baby sister.
***
Elga ran to go back to Alana's room. However, her steps came to a halt as she saw Alea sitting alone in the living room, her eyes twisting around the house as if looking for someone. Elga was astonished at the presence of the woman known as her uncle's friend. Until Elga undoes her intention to return to the room, and prefers to approach Alea there.
"Aunt Alea?"
"Hi Elga, honey." Alea stretched out both hands and pulled Elga's body into his arms. Lifting the girl's body onto her lap.
"Why is Aunt in my house?"
"Yes, Auntie's dropping off Aunt Chelia here because there's an affair with Uncle Daven."
"Then where's Aunt Chelia?" ask Elga. He found no one but Alea.
"Aunt Chelia and Uncle Daven are talking together in the back garden, honey."
"Oh ...." Elga nodded her head like an adult who seemed to have been able to digest well Alea said.
"Oh, yes, dear. Is Uncle Jasson here?" aela asked, shrinking the volume of her voice. Because when he came with Chelia, he was so surprised to see Jasson's car parked in the courtyard of Daven's house. He was wondering and curious.
"Yes, Uncle Jasson is now staying at my house."
"Where is Uncle Jasson now?" Alea circulated her gaze to every corner of the room she reached inside Alana's house. It was like she had met Jasson. "Can you get Uncle Jasson for Auntie, honey?"
"Can't!" firmly Elga. His hands were full of rejection.
"Why?" Alea's forehead wrinkled deep.
"Aunt Doctor and Uncle Jasson are in the room. No one can disturb him."
Elga looked left and right. Making sure no one was there except her and Alea. When it feels safe. Elga put her tiny lips close to Alea's ears.
"Auntie and Uncle are making me a baby sister, so no one should bother him including Auntie! It's top-secret. Aunty can't tell anyone" she whispered carefully.
Alea's heart instantly shrank upon hearing Elga's words. "Didn't Jasson always tell me that she didn't want to have children before she was 35? This is impossible."
But it is also impossible for a child as small as Elga to lie, he thought. Something seemed to be stuck in Alea's throat until she had trouble speaking. His chest felt tight of rebuttal which he now justified.
