The Fading Love
Banana brown

"Aska" I who coolly fold clothes next to Aska who is busy with coloring books from her school also raised her head.

"want to buy ice cream with papah?" zidan said with steps approaching. Both of Zidan's hands were already stalling forward, asking Aska to stand up. I am still silent, this is the first time Zidan invites his son to just buy ice cream, also this is the first time zidan after the last year was at home on weekends. Aksa who is also equally surprised to glance at me for a moment, maybe my child is confused as to what. It seemed that Zidan was sensitive to our confusion, Zidan sat down beside me, folded his legs and lifted Aska's body over his lap, the robot toy that Aska was holding apart.

"You don't buy ice cream the same papah" said Zidan while rubbing Aksa's hair a little dizzy because of sweat.

"Are you scared of Papah?" Aska looked down, Zidan already knew the answer from his son, he also made Aska behave so afraid.

"yeah, mamah come along too, we buy ice cream together" Zidan said again, hearing that made Aska look at me with a look like saying yes, but hesitant to say it.

"do you want baby?" this time Zidan looked at me, I nodded with a smile on my face, for my son to feel comfortable too.

"yeah, let's get ready, let's buy ice cream"

....

Aska had run first into the supermarket, while I walked slowly with hands that were fused with Zidan's hands.

"Tumben ngajak Aska out"

"Why can't you take my wife and kids out?"

"it's not okay, it's weird to know" Aska who has difficulty choosing because her body is still too small, in the carrying of Zidan.

"Who do you want, son?" I show you the ice cream with the watermelon flavor" Aska shook her head with her eyes fixed on the ice cream box.

"brown wants?"

"yes" answered Aska and grabbed the chocolate ice cream with a sprinkling of beans. This time Zidan looked at me.

"Do you have anything to buy?"

"there's no such thing, Zi"

"yes we've come home" Zidan grabbed my hand for a hand, we walked to the cashier's table like a young married couple, in the room Zidan continued to hold my hand.

We did not go home immediately, Zidan took me and Aska to sit in front of the supermarket to spend the ice cream Aska. In front of the supermarket there are also several outlines. I bought a banana chocolate topping cheese that was so abundant, and a real fresh drink of fruit.

"one month I didn't see you, the richness of your body stuffing" The brown banana I just bit stopped me chewing, I looked at Zidan with a dislike look.

"i'm fat, are you max, Zi?" instead of answering, the man in front of me actually showed a smile, his fresh drink on his feet until half was left, his slightly long hair was Zidan sibak to the back.

"Zidan!" call me because Zidan really sucks with all his behavior.

"what's my dear?'

"i'm fat, huh?" Zidan pointed his hand at my lips, with his thumb he cleared the corner of my lips, there might be a chocolate banana there.

"eat ko cemong, rich son only you"

"i'm fat, Zi?" I'm still looking for him with the same questions, wouldn't be silent if Zidan hadn't told me what I wanted.

"A little bit" Zidan said casually.

"Udah, I don't want to eat anymore" I closed the chocolate banana box and I removed it from my face, but fresh drinks in plain sight I couldn't refuse.

"eat again" Zidan pointed a brown banana at my mouth, before the brown banana Zidan bit.

"no, it's chocolate, I'll get fat" I said as I shook my back on the chair. Zidan finished the brown banana in his hand, I really wanted the banana, but Zidan's words that offended my body shape made me willingly resist that urge.

It seems that Zidan realized that if I had been watching him, he was glancing at me.

"surely do not want, it's so good to know" I turned my face.

"Darling, I would have told you that I don't care about your body shape, I also said, you can eat whatever you want" maybe because I ignored it, Zidan brought himself closer to my side, he pulled my hand which had been folded in front of my chest.

"this is eating again, yes, it was you who wanted, it's really good to know" I can't stand all forms of rayunya, I grabbed one brown banana and I spent it, I did, I wrote Zidan, who turned out to smile at me.

"tasty right?" I'm nodding.

"mah" simultaneously me and Zidan who were cool both turned to face Aska.

"yes, son, why?"

"want it" Aska pointed at the brown banana that was still left in the box, God it turns out my son also wanted the banana, because it was too cool with Zidan to forget there was a child who was ignored. I don't want my son's hands to get dirty, so I'll take Aska.

"i brought you crackers from home" I cleaned Aska's mouth with a tissue that Zidan had just pulled out of her car.

"keep where? I don't see" I'm pissed

"who told me when I came home there angry indistinct, the rich craze of the doormat, but I want to immediately fry you the crackers" I feel the hands of zidan now coiled around my waist

"sorry" nods his head in response yes, he smiled so sweetly, this is also the reason I fell in love with him first. Zidan rarely smiled, his face was very firm, but once a smile, the women became amazed including me.

"i'm afraid you're gone and not coming back, Aya. I'm afraid you left me, I don't want you to go, five years you're in Jakarta and suddenly just go home.

"Ali need a vacation, I'm dizzy nyariin you here and there, I can't hear from you stay weekly make me rich crazy people know not" I pause my sentence, first, I looked at him who was also staring at me

"you turned out to be that scared I left, Zi" Zidan nodded with a child-like face.

"i'm not leaving unless you tell me to, baby" I don't know what's on Zidan's mind, but I could really see the regret from the look on his face.

"later friedin crackers yes, I've missed the same souvenirs from your village, last I ate when you came home vacation before we got married"

"yes, I'll fry"

"sad" call me again

"Hem, why?" I looked into his eyes, looking for something that had filled my head all along.

"honey" I gasped at his voice.

"why be dumb, what do you think?" I shook the little

"no ko. Dear.... Sometimes we go to my village yes, mamah papah, nanyain you know"

"yes, later if I have time we go to your village on vacation"

long enough we were outside, we came back home after a short stop for lunch, Zidan who invited us, he said today not to cook and eat out. Aska overslept during the trip, my son was exhausted because half a day was outside, invited papa walk.
