The Creak of my Friend's Bed
Missing the Father
Hendrik gave advice to Rindi," mbak Rindi, do not have to think about this during the race. One thing I think about is Airin. Just focus on running the race so we don't let Airin down."
"To this day we have to be really compact, because this race is the most important thing is compactness. Don't be awkward with me during this race. I'm willing to come also for Airin, because I love him and don't want to see the sadness on his face."
Rindi was so moved, she could only say one word, "thank you mas.'
A few minutes later...
The race began, Airin looks very happy because this time he feels complete with Hendrik. It felt like he was with his parents.
Race after race is so good. Rindi also tried not to be awkward with Hendrik beside her. Likewise with Hendrik, he also tried not to be awkward with Rindi.
The moment was really used by Rindi and Hendrik to please Airin.
It didn't feel like two hours had been the race. And finally finished too. Who is judged is not who first finished in the race without heeding the compactness. The most important thing in the race is the cohesiveness between the child and his parents.
And this was obtained by Airin. He was so happy without stopping in the jubilation, "horeeee won. .. thank you mother-Sister Hendrik."
Both Hendrik and Rindi responded to Airin's words with a smile. They also did not expect that they would actually win.
Rindi kept staring at Airin, "Oh my God, I just saw Airin this happy time. It was cheerful before but not this cheerful."
A Few Hours Later...
Hendrik deliberately invited Airin and Rindi to eat at a cafe to celebrate the victory of the race. Airin was getting happier, but the smile disappeared. He was gloomy, his eyes glaring into the streets.
The nature of Airin is seen by Hendrik from behind his wheel, he also reprimanded," If Airin cape, brother and sister just go home? eat in the cafe another time."
Airin glanced at Hendrik who was driving, "it's not like that big brother. I am sad because this time together is only now. Tomorrow brother is no longer my father."
Rindi heard Airin's words, she advised him, "Airin can't be like that to Brother Hendrik. He was very good with Airin. Until he does not go to the office to obey your will to follow the race."
Airin just and bowed down, he did not say anymore. And after arriving at the cafe dos felt sad. He always wanted to feel that togetherness.
Hendrik did not want to see the sadness that emanated on Airin's face. Until he took the initiative to say something, "Airin don't be sad anymore. Later if every Sunday we go for a walk with Mother also yes?"
Suddenly Airin sumringah again," Brother Hendrik, do not lie right? seriously right?"
Hendrik stroked the little guy's black mane, "seriously, when did you ever lie to Airin?"
