A few days later, at the breakfast table that day, Belva was ready with her work clothes. Navy blue shirt, combined with material pants. The young Papa and CEO of Agastya Property is like a young executive. Although already wearing full work clothes, apparently Belva who is neat still want to go down to the kitchen.
“This .. strawberry-flavored milk as usual Mama's favorite,” said Belva as she offered a glass of warm milk with strawberry flavor and handed it to Sara.
“Papa,” Sara replied by receiving the milk from her husband's hand.
“Mama ... grandson .. au grandson Ma (Mama .. Milk, want milk, Ma.),” apparently Elkan was pointing to the glass held by Sara. Hearing the word milk, Elkan quickly asked for the milk from his mother.
“Susu this is only for Mama, Dik Elkan .. Mama drink milk let her baby in the stomach Mama healthy,” he explained to Elkan.
Elkan's age is already more than 2 years, only his speaking ability is still slurred. Like babies who talk with words that make people who hear them laugh.
“Auu .. Ma,” pinta Elkan again who wants milk.
“Adik El .. cannot. That's milk for Mama. El's sister wants milk? Here, let Brother make it in.” said Evan.
Presumably Evan also fully understood that the milk that his father had just given to his mother was special milk for pregnant women. Instead of Elkan whining and continuing to ask for the milk, Evan who this time immediately stood up and made milk for Elkan in the milk dodot.
From the dining table, Sara seemed to observe Evan who was trying to make milk for his sister. Sara did not prevent Evan, because for Sara a child also needs to be given the trust to do something so that her confidence is also honed. Therefore, Sara gave Evan a chance to make milk in a dodot for his sister. It only took a few minutes, Evan who was already in his SD uniform seemed to smile with satisfaction and gave an ASI dodot that already contained milk for Elkan.
"This is Sister El, you drink this milk only. The one in the glass is special for Mama," he said.
Sara smiled, the woman stretched out her hand and rubbed the top of Evan's head, "Thank you Brother Evan is already willing to make milk for Sister," Sara replied. He was really grateful to Evan, not because Evan made milk for his sister. However, Sara thanked Evan for being a figure of concern and affection to his sister. In her heart, Sara was sure that Elkan would be very happy to have an older sister like Evan.
"Aciihhh Kak," replied Elkan who immediately drank a dodot filled with milk with vanilla flavor.
"Together El's sister," replied Evan and the boy again sat down and finished his breakfast.
"Sister Evan can make milk in a dodot for Sister anyway?" ask Sara to Evan.
"Can dong Ma, Evan often see Mama and Papa who make milk. So Evan can. Mama told Evan to do what, as long as he was told that Evan could do it, Ma," Evan replied with confidence.
"Well, great .. Evan's brother is getting older, getting cooler. Thank you so much Sister Evan has cared and loved Sister by making milk," replied Sara.
There is a principle that parents must say to children about thanking is to say thank you for what the child has done and done. Praise process. Because, children also need appreciation from parents who can increase their confidence.
These parenting principles and patterns that Sara and Belva apply at home. Both want Evan, Elkan, and of course the baby will grow up with good character and believe in himself that everyone can do many good and useful things.
"Please Brother Evan, love Sister yah .. only if Sister Elkan is wrong, you can reprimand her," replied Belva.
"Yes Papa, that's just a little sister who likes to ngeyel, Pa. If you're crying," Evan grumbled this time to his Papa.
"El's sister is still a child Kak Evan .. later slowly he will also become obedient and not crybaby. Okay?" sara's reply to her son.
"Yes Ma, yes already .. Evan left for school yes Ma, that Mr. Heri (driver of the Agastya family) is ready. Later fear Evan is late," he said to his family.
Evan immediately stood up and kissed his parents' hands before leaving for school. While Sara stops her breakfast first, and helps Evan put on his backpack, carry his provisions, then Sara takes Evan to the doorstep.
"A diligent school, Evan. Mama dear Brother!"
It was a sentence that Sara always said 5 times a week almost every morning. Her son is growing, Sara wants her son to go to school and get the highest education possible. Sara herself is only a High School graduate, but she wants all her children to attend a minimum of Bachelor's school. Wanting to pursue even a graduate, Sara wouldn't mind. For the education of her children, Sara did not mind to spend some money.
After Evan left, it was not long before Belva's turn to go to work, "I also went to the office first, dear. Be careful at home. Don't tire. Try to play the same Elkan that does not drain energy. Your husband went for sustenance first yah," replied Belva.
Sara chuckled amusedly at the saying from her husband, "Be careful in Mr.'s way. CEO. Waiting for the afternoon to go home well," replied Sara.

Throughout the day Sara passed by babysitting Elkan. Fortunately Elkan could be told that his mother was pregnant, so Sara did take care of her child with more sitting, chanting, or reading a book alone.
In the late afternoon, Sara also bathed her own children. Although rich, the business of taking care of children is still done Sara herself. Taking care of the main parenting duties in the family, it is precisely Sara feels happy to be able to nurture her own sons.
"His afternoon ... Kak Evan played with Sister Elkan first huh? Mama wants to eat bread first yes, hungry," he said this time.
Even this pregnancy, Sara felt that she was more hungry. So that snacks and fruit at home stock more.
"Yes Ma, what bread do you want? Evan wants dong, Ma," Evan replies.
Sara smiled and nodded her head, "May, surely Mama will share with her sons this Mama," Sara replied.
Just walking towards the kitchen, apparently the door of the house is open. Her husband came with a paper bag in his hand.
"Papa's coming home" exclaimed every afternoon when he came home from work.
"Yeah!"
Duo E was both shouting. When the Papa comes home, it's time to play with the Papa.
Belva then walked over to Sara and gave a paper bag to his wife, "Make Mama .. Papa see Mama want to like a snack of cake right? Macarons and Pluffy for Mama" said Belva.
"Well, thank you Papa. Mama just went to the kitchen to get a cake because her stomach was hungry. Now even get a gift from Papa. Though I did not ask for souvenirs, which I asked Papa to go home," answered Sara smilingly looking at her husband's face.
