“Mama. Why didn't they come last weekend?”
Devano sulked at the mother, who was in the car heading home after school.
“Darling, papa is busy. Much work. They will definitely visit us.” Felisha tried to give understanding, if the older sister was just busy taking care of the office, now the busyness of the man increased. Ngorus his young wife.
“Then mami? Why didn't mommy come? Mami's school holiday yesterday, right?”
Felisha gulped her saliva roughly. He scratched his forehead, looking for answers.
“Honey maybe mom is doing a lot of college work. My mom wants to graduate from college, baby. So mommy has a lot to learn.”
“I want to call mami.”
“Iya later arrive at home we contact your mom yes.” Felisha stroked her son's head. Often the woman feels that the child has the same traits as her twin sister. All desires must be followed, otherwise the child will continue to sulk.
The car is traveling at a moderate speed, according to Edward's orders the driver who works accompanied wherever Felisha went, should not drive the car above average speed.
So wherever Felisha went, he would prepare first, so as not to be late.
After nearly half an hour on the way home, the car they were riding in arrived at the Hugo's courtyard.
Devano came down in a hurry. He ran into the house, impatient to contact the mother, who did not come last weekend.
Devano is just a kid who, if promised, would demand that promise.
Laura once promised to always come on her day off, but yesterday the woman did not visit her.
“Dev, be careful.” Felisha ran after the son. But Devano has disappeared at the end of the stairs.
Fortunately, the mother was not at home, if there was, it could be confirmed that Felisha would be lectured by Devano's grandmother.
Arriving at the room, he found the son was changing his school clothes with casual clothes. It made him breathe a sigh of relief.
“Come mama, contact mami.” Devano pulled the mother towards the bed.
Although she can use a mobile phone, Felisha has not given the smart flat object to her son. He does not want to focus on learning Devano become divided.
Especially at this time, so many things can be explored through the smart object. He did not want his son to go to the wrong place.
“Iya, we will contact. Now Devano have lunch first yes.”
“No! I don't want to eat, before I talk to mami.”
Jesus, Felisha's mind jumped. The son was a duplicate of Edward.
Felisha had to pick up her phone in her bag and call Laura's contact number.
“Video call, mom.”
“Good.”
Not to spoil Devano, but Felisha did not want a commotion. The child will go berserk if not followed.
The first call escaped. No one is lifting. Devano asked the mother to repeat.
And on the fourth call, then the face appears on the phone screen. Not Laura, but her husband.
“What's up, Fel?” Edward asked in a hoarse voice. His eyes still seemed a little closed.
“Where's Laura? Why did you answer?”
Seen on the phone screen Edward's lips cut, then the screen came down and revealed the face of Laura who was sleeping on the man's chest.
“Gosh.” Felisha. Fortunately, Devano hasn't seen it.
“It's still daytime, don't you guys have any other jobs?” The woman grumbled when she saw her brother and his wife, without clothes on.
“What's up? We were in a neighboring country, we had a work visit. So I used all of you for the honeymoon.” Edward obviously.
“Devano wants to talk to Laura. You didn't come home yesterday. And make the boy sulk.” Felisha looked at the son sitting on the bed. While he was by the window.
“Mama, give me the phone.” Shouted the son.
“You hear? He doesn't even want to have lunch before talking to his mom.”
Felisha wastes her breath in frustration.
“Awhile, I wake him up first. I'll call you back later. Tell Devan, if his mama will talk, if she's already at the dinner table.”
“Mami won't talk to you, if you don't want to eat. He wants to talk if you're already at the dinner table.” Felisha hands Devano a cell phone.
The boy snorted in annoyance. He had to obey the words of his mother, go down to the dining table. To talk to her mom.

Meanwhile, in a hotel room, Edward awakens his wandering wife in a dream.
Edward gently rubbed his wife's cheek. Disturb the woman so she is not surprised.
Laura squirms small. He felt his sleep start to be disturbed.
“Baby, baby. Build.” Edward says. Then put a kiss on Laura's forehead.
“I'm still sleepy, pi. It's still daytime anyway, right?” The woman called her face to the husband's neck.
“Honey, sleep later, yes. Devano wants to talk to you. He sulks because we didn't come home yesterday.”
Hearing the row of words spoken from the husband's lips, made Laura's eyes open perfectly.
How he forgot to tell Devano if last weekend he was busy doing college assignments because he had too many holidays.
“Where's the phone, pi?” Laura got up and grabbed the phone that was on the nightstand.
“Honey, use your clothes first. Do you want Devano to see you that way?” Edward, whose position is now sitting leaning on the head of the bed, pointed towards Laura's upper body which is beautifully displayed without obstructions.
“Gosh?” The woman was shocked to see how she looked. Quickly, Edward's wife grabbed the shirt that was lying on the fur carpet, put it on and straightened her hair.
“Yang down no?” Edward stared greedily at the beautiful bottom.
Laura quickly got into the blanket. Covering his lower body. And get back to the phone, to call Felisha.
“Do a video call.” Edward whispered in his ear.
Laura according. Moments later, Devano was eating his lunch.
“Sayang.. mami kangen.” Laura said for the first time. But Devano was indifferent, and kept chewing his food.
“I've told you she sulks.” Edward is back.
“Darling, sorry mommy, yes. My mom did a lot of college work yesterday. Mami forgot to tell Devano. Forgive mami, dear.”
Laura said something sad. Although he only knew Devano, he loved the boy very much.
It looks like Devano put his cutlery down, drinking the available water. Then his hand took over the cell phone from his mother's hand.
“Then, when will mommy come home?” Ask by pursing lips.
“Didn't you miss papa, boy?” Edward interrupted between them. He placed his chin on his wife's shoulder so he could see her son's face.
“No. There is mama. Papa is not important.” Tukas Devano was upset.
“Im sorry, boy. Papa and Mami don't mean to forget you. Papa is outside now. You want to get what? Later papa buy.”
The way that Edward always used to seduce the 8-year-old boy, especially if not a toy.
“Really, pa? I want lots of toys. Otherwise, I don't want to meet papa and mami.”
Laura smiled hearing the ultimatum coming out of Devano's lips. The boy was very fond of his husband.
“Iya, darling. Mom bought a toy. Later Devan send us pictures of what toys Dev wants.” Laura also seduced the son to stop sulking.
“Yey. makasi mami, makasi papa. I'll send you a picture. I love you guys.”
“We love you too, Dev.” Said Edward and Laura. It made them look at each other and then laugh together.
As the conversation continued, Devano carried the mother's phone everywhere. Even when playing, the phone connection is still connected.
Laura and Edward could only smile from across the call. Imagine someday they have children, maybe it will be the same as Devano.
