Tama And Ratna
99. Picnicking

Today Ratna is a birthday, all celebrating Aksa who has teethed. Maybe because his gums itch or what, Aksa so like to bite. Even when breastfeeding Mother she likes to bite-bites make Ratna in pain. Sometimes, if that's the case, Ratna prefers to hold him a piece of apple, pear or biscuit. The point was that the food he could hold, was not flabby, but not too hard either.

Aksa is able to sit up straight and is learning how to crawl. Several times Ratna tried to teach her and Aksa really absorbed the lessons from her mother well. Aksa also began to actively reach for all the objects in front of his eyes and then put them in his mouth. Last night Aksa almost fell a TV remote that her father put on the table. Ratna always told Tama everything either directly or indirectly. Even now Tama and Ratna chat rooms are almost entirely about Aksa. Whether in the form of videos, pictures, voice notes, or all messages about Ratna who exited with the growth and development of her son.

It may not actually coincide on Ratna's birthday, instead it is closer to Tama's birthday. But since Tama and Ratna just got time together today so they go today. Tuesdays, not weekends or holidays. So they can walk more freely. Tama and Ratna wanted to teach Aksa about various animals so they decided to go to the zoo.

Satisfied they play all day there, not until noon Aksa even slept. She felt comfortable feeling the breeze while sleeping on the stroler pushed by her Mother's Father. Since Aksara who became the main character was sleeping, Tama invited Ratna to eat at the foodcourt. It is not yet lunch hour, but this one busui a day can 5 meals. If Ratna is left hungry, she can frown and the little one can follow the frown as well. Compact true these two Tama's favorite people are indeed.

"Mas, run this out to the baby shop yeah," Ratna said.

"Oiya you said you want to buy a mattress, yes" asked Tama, embraced by Ratna.

"Aksa would have started crawling everywhere, if not used mats pity his knees. While he is wearing knee protection does not want to be uncomfortable. Dipakein protective head that is the shape of a helmet is not willing," confided Ratna.

"But wear the backpack shape you want?"

"You because it's yellow. I happen to buy her favorite color so she wants to wear it" Ratna said.

"Sudden coating of bed linen becomes yellow, dining furniture is also yellow" said Tama.

"So my brother likes yellow. Spoon him if not use the yellow color does not want. His toys are also colorful, but the only thing played is yellow" added Ratna.

Tama and Ratna were just going to continue the conversation, suddenly from the right side of Ratna was heard a whimper. Aksa's eyes were glued to see a helium balloon seller coming over. As a result of Tama likes to tie a balloon to the feet or hands of Aksara when at home, the child so loved the balloon even though Ratna was most horrified by the balloon especially if the balloon exploded. Could limp him.

Tama bought him a helium balloon and then he tied it to the stroller so that Aksara could continue to see it. After the meal, his parents continued their walk. Aksa was carried by his father to approach the tiger cage, but instead of focusing on the tiger he kept turning to look at the balloon that continued to stick in the stroller.

Ratna noticed it and then released the balloon and brought it closer. As soon as the balloon was grasped by Father, Aksa refocused on his father and continued to look up at the balloon. It seems like Aksa is already interested in the others, he already does not want to see animals, he just wants to see the fish-shaped balloon.

As Aksa grew tired, his father and mother decided to leave the zoo. Tama first took them to the baby shop to buy a playmat for Aksara. But the name Adiratna if entering a baby shop at least accepted if not buy this it. The initial intention was only to buy playmat but now he instead bought another one. Ratna bought milk bottles, teeters, shoes, and more. Tama just wait while looking at the cars that are located near the entrance while carrying Aksa who remains fast asleep no matter the surrounding environment is crowded.

"Mas, here anyway I think where," said Ratna.

"If in the pity of Aksa is stuffy, it's rame again" said Tama.

"Hasn't your mother bought it yet? If I pay you," said Tama.

"tag. I paid for it. Abis Dad wanted where not to meet, until the queue pay yaudah I pay you all," Ratna said successfully made Tama gawk.

"God Mother...."

"There are you" said Tama, breaking Ratna's hair.

Ratna replaces Tama holding Aksara, while Tama grabs Ratna's groceries and takes her in the car. In the parking lot, they had met with Mbak Rere, owner of boutique and designer subscription Ratna and several other bhayangkari mothers. Sister Rere came with her husband who is not really familiar Ratna, but had time to say hello because Ratna and Rere were greeting each other.

"Don't look funny. My sister Ratna can carry?" ask Rere.

"Byeah" answered Ratna.

Slowly Ratna handed over Aksara and instantly Rere was happy-tiered. She is pregnant as well and her gestational age has entered its 35th week. Ms Rere said she hoped to introduce her daughter to Aksara, who knew they could be friends and be familiar. Ratna is yes. Let fate answer how someday. After all as long as he was still in Jogja, the possibility to meet would be huge.

"How many months has Ratna been?" ask the husband of Madam Rere named Jevan.

"It's the 7th month" replied Ratna.

"Funny Mas, fat bullet, really jiggling," Ms Rere told her husband.

Tama could only laugh seeing these two mothers talking about their babies. Unfortunately, the conversation could not go on for too long. Tama and Ratna had to leave immediately, after all Mas Jevan and Mbak Rere came to shop not to chat.

"Mother, who was that?" tama asked Ratna who was putting her seatbelt on.

"Mbak Rere, my tailor. Your uniform is also the one that sews Madam Rere" Ratna said.

"Oh yeah? But the one who measured it was Bun's guy."

"Oh that's Doni Ma'am Rere's employee. Ma'am Rere already has an assistant, why do it yourself. Little Sister Rere has since become pregnant so easily sick she said so her husband also looks very protective earlier," Ratna said.

"Yes," answered Tama.

"You know what, Rere once worked at a fashion house in Madrid. Mrs Rere is a successful designer. But all her accomplishments she lives to start a new one with her husband. I salute very much with Mrs Rere," said Ratna.

"You are also great Mother, giving up all your desire to keep living simply as I am. I'm so proud of you" said Tama, grabbing Ratna's hand.

"Because besides you there's no more Dad. You're the only one I want. My request to you is only one Mas, still a Pratama Aji Saputra who came to my graduation 8 years ago. Pratama Aji promised to always love me" Ratna said.

"My promise is still I hold Ratna. The promise of a lifetime is still held tight and I will never let go. Because Adiratna Widiyatna is my only one. My only language" said Tama.
