Ice cream for Daffa


"Sena, no." Shouted Daffa as the woman stopped the speed of her motorbike, right next to the porch of their home. " Sena down what?" Ask Daffa again, while approaching Sena.


" Ice cream and milk for you." Sena replied, But Daffa stepped back while shaking his head.


" It will not be red-red Daffa, it will hurt again." His speech. Because he himself knew of the allergies he had.


Daffa knew that, not because he told Ningsih, but he knew it himself. At that time Daffa wanted to eat ice cream, but Ningsih refused because there was milk. But Daffa secretly received ice cream given by his friend's mother and finally he felt the pain, Daffa was immediately rushed to the hospital, since then Daffa did not want to try it again.


"It's safe! And the milk is also made from soybeans, it tastes good, there is already a fruit content in it. The ice cream is also made from fresh fruit without any milk mixture. Try it." Sena said to convince her son. But Daffa remained vigilant and hesitated to take it. " Dear, let's go get it. Brother won't hurt you."


Daffa, however, remained unmoved. Until Sena took out a pack of ice cream, opened it and gave it to Daffa.


" Bk_"


" Try it, come on." Urged again, while continuing to mei Daffa, the boy slowly brought his lips closer.


And Daffa could feel the coldness of the ice cream. His tongue. But nothing happened. Daffa tried again and absolutely nothing happened to him.


" Thank you, brother." He said, then continued to enjoy the ice cream gift there.


" Together, if you want more! Take it in the refrigerator, but remember to taste it and do not overdo it." Daffa was a smart and obedient boy! he always remembered what his brother and mother said, and he never even broke their ban, except for the ice cream incident.


Daffa replied with a nod of his head. While following Sena's steps, enter the house.


" Dear what is that?" Ask Ningsih.


" It's just ice cream and milk for Daffa, relax, it's not cow's milk." Sena replied when she realized the change in her mother's face.But a second later Ningsih immediately breathed a sigh of relief.


" Here baby, let mama keep it, you just eat it! Mama has your food ready at the table. " Say Ningsih, while reaching for the plastic bag that Sena brought.


" Yes, ma'am."
