THE NANNY
43. Birthday of Athaya (3)
"We started learning colors first yes.it's red, it's yellow, it's green, it's,...." Andina patiently led Athaya's index finger to each color box while guiding her along to pronounce the mentioned colors."
The sight did not escape the attention of Arya who stole the view from behind Papa Robby's back because his sitting position was behind his papa.
"I went back to the back was hot." said Arya to everyone. He walked towards the back of the house, sitting in a chair facing the swimming pool. He took a cigarette out of his shirt pocket...
"When did you smoke ?" suddenly Ricky was sitting next to him. "Cih.lo ngagetin aja," Arya grimaced.
In the smoking of cigarettes that are embedded in the day, he slowly exhaled the cigarette smoke from his lips. "Since the hammer 3 months ago, since I officially held the title of widower," Arya replied with a heavy breath.
"Gue only smokes when he's nervous..."
"Hmm like when you saw the sight of your son and Andina right.." guess Ricky on target. Arya just turned her face a glance towards Ricky. Cigarettes are just sucked half he turned off by pressing the mouth into the ashtray that is on the table.
"Gue still did not expect to pass the journey of life like this, my heart feels numb bro..." Arya lowered her head by closing both hands to her face.
"Prophey bro.gue sure you can get through it, sooner or later time will heal. You have to cepet move on for your son's sake..." Ricky patted Arya on the shoulder giving her strength.
"Thanks, bro..."
"You guys here it turns out...Ar, Andina and Sifa said back home tuh.kamu anterin them yes.he did not bring a motorbike.tadi here using an onlen taxi," Mama Rita came over.
"But ma..."
"Please son.this is late afternoon mama worried that they took a taxi. Ricky..you also accompany Arya," said Mama Rita. Ricky only replied with a thumbs-up 2.

"Ka.mo follow..." Athaya held back Andina's finished hand saying goodbye to everyone.
"Eh..don't follow ya...sook adek can play to the shophouse same oma..." Andina tried to persuade gently.
"Ikuuuut..hwua hwua.." finally cried Athaya unstoppable. Well how is this...Andina felt so wrong.
"Cup cup dear do not cry.iya can come back and get into the car," Arya holds Athaya to calm her. "Arya invite me to join nganter ma.." said Arya to her mother. "Yuk left.."
"Everything, we say yes, Assalamualaikum." Andina said. "Goddessalam.." Mama Rita drove them up to the front porch.
Along the way Athaya continued to chatter about every thing he saw. He sat on Andina's lap sitting in the middle passenger seat. Patiently Andina answered Athaya's curiosity with a sentence that would be understood by children her age. Once Arya who was driving noticed their interaction through the spy.
Many times Athaya yawned, her eyes began to crumble. "Congratulations on deck.ayo bobo yes.." Andina changed Athaya's seat to the side. He patted the boy's right thigh gently.It didn't take long for Athaya to fall asleep.
"I stop here Mr. Arya." exclaimed Sifa. Arya immediately marginalized her car.
"Whose house is Fa...?" ricky asked, looking back.
"That's the ash paint.I live just across," pointed Sifa towards the road.
"Sometimes I can stop by if I'm thirsty" Ricky said, raising an eyebrow.
"If thirsty to the stall or infomaret aja kak," replied Sifa who answered Ricky's oddity.
"Thank you, Mr. Arya, Mr. Ricky...Din me first yeah."
"Ok" Ricky replied, Arya just nodded her head.
"Be careful about the Fa.." replied Andina.
Arya reapplied her car after Sifa got off. 10 minutes later the car arrived in front of Andina's house.
"Lo's change I want gendomg Athaya," Arya got out of the car and opened the left door beside Andina. Athaya fell asleep slowly from Andina's lap to her lap. Deg. There was a subtle sigh creeping into his heart when his hand accidentally touched Andina's hand.
"Just relax Din down..your feet must be cramping right ?" ask Arya.
Andina nodded, briefly straightening her legs forward that felt numb and dark.
"Ah done it sir.makasih mr. Arya, brother Ricky.had to anterin go home."
"Sama-sama.sorry yes Din has been repotted with my son," said Arya. "The same greeting Mr. Revelation and Miss Desi yes."
Andina simply nodded and immediately got out of the car. He stepped into the courtyard of the house.
