The Ghost Writers
The Emergence of a Story Idea


When I was stunned in the sweet sour story of High School, suddenly ....


"Hik! Hick!"


"Eh, is the rainbow awake? How crying?" I patted her adorable thigh.


"Mama," her call whined and immediately tilted her body towards me.


Her adorable attitude made me love her even more. I pecked her cheeks and her forehead.


"Mandi yuk's. Rainbow stinks of acem," I asked.


My little girl still looks sleepy from rubbing her eyes and yawning. I carried his body that still felt light to move from a lazy mattress to the bathroom in one room.


I took off her clothes and put them in a basket to collect before they were washed the next morning by Aunt who helped clean the house.


Robby said he wanted me to focus on Rainbow and the novel writing hobby that is now one of my professions.


Robby even often flattered in front of friends, partners, even family who said grateful to be able to marry me.


More or less he always said something like this to them. "I'm very happy because Alia is quite working at home. Spending time with Rainbow, she can still cook and welcome her husband home when he is tired of working. No need to go to the office if it's not an emergency. In addition, his love in the world of novels, brings blessings to the family. I told Alia, the money she earned while writing use it for your personal use. However, if you want to use it for the family it will be better than yourself for being a blessing many times."


Yeah, I think it's true. The money I get for my family outside of daily use is like giving birthday gifts to people I care about, souvenirs when visiting a place, or a family picnic.


While the money given by Robby every month, I use it for important family needs such as monthly shopping, including paying Bibi who helps clean the house, arisan because I join the association of complex mothers, monthly garbage, electricity, and electricity, safety, gallon, gas and other costs.


"hihhihih! Yei! Yay!"


The sound of a carefree laugh Rainbow broke my daydream of household financial expenses.


The joy of the Rainbow echoes in a bathroom dominated by white. Rainbows play with yellow rubber ducks that float on the surface and soak in warm water.


GECK! GECK! GECK!


"Darling? Rainbow bath again huh?" ask from behind the door and I recognize his voice. Yeah, that's Robby.


I immediately went up and opened the door.


"Your train is taking a shower too. Bathe together yuk," he asked flirtatiously.


"Gee! Rainbows are big. Look at your wand, he's not mature yet. Don't want! Out there first" I replied, pushing Robby's body, but I could feel her holding on to the door laughing. Geez, that sucks!


"Father," call our baby cute.


It seems like Rainbow is aware that Dad is in the same room with her, but he may be confused. What are Papa and Mama?


"I was looking for Rainbow to be invited to take a bath together," said Robby managed to enter the bathroom while removing his pants.


"Robby! Ih, that's so naughty!" I shouted furiously because my husband must have done it on purpose because he was happy to have me.


Sure enough, Robby caught my body and wanted to take off the clothes I was wearing. The hysterical me even made Rainbow giggles might be considered funny.


"Yes spoiled mom, Rainbow. Want to take a shower should be papa copotin clothes," said Robby with a big smile.


"Robby!" I yelled loudly, but managed to keep my clothes in place.


GECK! GECK! GECK!


Suddenly, "Robby ... Robby ... This is the sound. Commandant's Writing. Your boss? The chorus was raised," asked the voice of a man with a raucous voice like the Father-in-law.


Practically, the atmosphere that had been stirring in the bathroom became silent instantly.


"Oh, that's Robby's boss. Right, Sir. Don't lift. Robby calls back. A minute!" his mouth screamed while wearing his pants back in a hurry.


"Sukurin," ledekku's.


"Awas. Our fight is not over yet" he threatened with a cruel face, but I was not afraid and laughed.


I tidied up as Robby opened the door and saw Father-in-law standing behind it holding a cell phone.


"No, until death. Didn't you take a shower?" ask the father to look at his son carefully.


"Hehe," Robby just chuckled and grabbed his phone. His eyes turned towards the rainbow.


The rainbow looks fun with the duck while playing water. Then he smiled at me and left. Huff, I survived Robby's attack just now.


When I was about to close the door, I saw my bag on the table. I came and I checked the contents. Looks like Robby took all the stuff out of the suitcase and tidied it up.


I took my cell phone and I took it to the bathroom to capture the cuteness of the Rainbow in the shower.


"You're so funny, son. Mama became gaunt," I said when I managed to get some photos from him.


However, when I looked at the photos and I observed them, an idea suddenly appeared just like it had happened before.


"Hem. I don't think I've ever made a story involving a child" I said slowly as I shifted the photos in the album on my phone where many photos of Rainbow were there with nephews, cousins and others.


I climbed up and sat on the closet that I covered the top while watching the rainbow.


"What if .... the little boy helped reveal the case indirectly? His mother was kidnapped and he recognized her captor. He gets involved with the police and becomes a savior for Mom. Hem, it seems possible too. Okay, try stacking the rough framework first," I muttered while typing my idea on one of the recording applications in the phone.


Who would have thought, my fingers quickly worked.


"Okay, whose main character's name is it? Mm, blanks first. Then ... Who are the characters in this novel? What is clear is that the little boy, his mother, the police, then ...."


Again, my finger quickly moved to pour all the ideas in my head before blurring and getting sidetracked by anything else.


"Further setting of place, or background. Good in Indonesia or abroad? Oh, Indo only, but kidnapped to foreign countries. Hem, okay okay. Just write all the ingredients in the head and then later rearrange them to be tidied up," I muttered again while continuing to type.


Sometimes I glanced at the rainbow to make sure my baby was safe playing in the bathtub.


"OK, next the kidnapping motive. Why was this mother kidnapped? Hem, make a flashback about the mother's past life. Okay, okay," I said to myself as I began to chant in pouring imagination.


While I was busy stringing words together, all of a sudden," Hatchim!"


"Eh, my goodness. Well, your son sneezed. Poor thing, take a shower. Later you wrinkles rich granny," I said as I put the phone on top of the toilet seat.


I immediately bathed the Rainbow with soap, brushed my teeth, washed my hair and rinsed it.


I left my phone and I carried a rainbow with a towel wrapped around his little body on the mat to get dressed.


"Here," point the rainbow at the shirt hung in her favorite pink Helo Kitty patterned closet.


"wear this? Where's the rainbow going? It's a dress for the party" I replied, not expecting the rainbow to know how fashionable it is.


"Here, Mama, here!" the force while coming to the shirt wants to be taken from the hanger.


"Yes. Be beautiful, yes" I replied, taking the shirt and giving it to her.


The rainbow looks happy because his face is so sparkling. Kudandani my little princess who turned into a princess in a fairyland because of her charming clothes.


After I made sure my daughter was ready, I took her out of the room.


"That rainbow is so pretty. It's fragrant! Play the same Auntie Yuk," Jelita asked directly swiftly to take the Rainbow from me and crouch in front of her.


"He hasn't eaten, pity. Eating just played. Mumpung sopnya aja mateng. Yuk, Bude bribe yuk," said Robby's brother who swiftly led Rainbow and Jelita to the dining room.


Really, a harmonious family atmosphere. My smile grew to see my usual quiet house become crowded.


I left the crowd by going back to the bathroom to clean the rainbow toiletries.


However, I remembered the unfinished idea. I closed the door and returned to the toilet seat with the phone in my hand.


"Where did you end up? Oh here it is. Hem, just a conflict resolution and a cover. Sad or happy ending, huh?" gumanku while guessing. "Happy is. Pity the problem at the beginning was already ngenes when the struggle for his mother's sleep," added me who swiftly typed my idea with three fingers moving agile.


Many say including Robby and Fanny if the way I hold my phone is a little strange.


My left hand held the rectangular object, but my thumb swiftly pressed the screen while typing. Then the right hand, index and middle finger move pressing.


If on a computer keyboard or typewriter I use ten fingers, on a mobile phone only three. Hehe, adjust to the size.


I finally managed to complete the idea of the impromptu story. Next I'll copy it on my beloved ancient typewriter. Who would have thought, just from seeing the Rainbow shower, an idea was rushing through my head.
