A woman was chasing her son who ran while carrying away another child's toy. Nimbly the mother passed by several people to catch the little man who was running fast. His breathing began to short due to fatigue. With all his speed and agility he caught the back of the child's shirt.
While carrying the child who was still thrashing in his arms, he returned to his original place. He rebuked his son and told him to return the toy. But the child did not flinch.
"Edo!" the mother's sweat.
"this. Sorry." said Edo not willingly to the child.
"sorry mother because my son has taken a toy mother. Mother can punish my son so that he is aware of his behavior" said the mother to another woman who was holding her son.
Edo looked at his mother with a surprised face. He disagreed with his mother's words. He does not want punishment. He put a protest face on his mother.
"it's okay mom. Mom's son apologized."
"thank you very much ma'am. Excuse me."
A young woman dragged her son out of the mall. He glanced at the child sharply. But Edo's reply only scowled while scratching his head that did not itch.
"sorry ma, but she's deluan ma. He mocked Edo. He said Edo's father didn't care about Edo because he never drove Edo to school." said Edo lowered his head sadly.
"honey, mom and dad never told me why papa never took you, right? Your school and Papa are very far away. Mama's dropping you off anyway, aren't you happy?"
"no mama, but Edo also wants to be escorted by papa once." Edo chirped began to glaze over.
"good. We'll tell papa."
The woman hugged Edo tightly. He also rubbed Edo's head gently. His feelings were also sad when his son felt sad because he had never been taken to school. They did not intend to ignore Edo's request from long ago, but the conditions were not possible.
"why so long, brother? My hands began to ache with Erni's arms." the little sister approached them.
"Gosh Eca, sorry. The brother caught the boy first. He took his friend's toy inside. You don't know your sister's struggle to catch up to her" said Erna taking over Erni from Eca's sling.
"jeez Edo! aunty told me to cut down on the naughtiness!"
"that kid is deluan, aunty can!" obviously Edo did not accept.
"are you parking the car where Eca?"
"it's up ahead. Brother hunt! A lot of endorsans that I have to video this afternoon."
"yes yes. Let's go."
Eca drives the car at moderate speed. He glanced at the glass. There was Erna with Erni and Edo sitting and eating the kebab. He lamented that his condition was like a driver for the three of them.
Arriving in front of Erna's house, Eca helps Edo down. He cleaned Edo's mouth from the leftovers first. While holding Edo, Erna called out to him from the front.
"Eca, you take Edo to your apartment. Later in the afternoon Mas Lintang pick him up."
"why sis?"
"today's sister's permission so no one's looking after her. Brother is unable to keep them both alone." said Erna as she looked at Edo and Erni.
"okay. Edo, we're going to aunty's apartment. But don't be naughty, today's aunty's work."
"hore!!"

"when we get to the aunty unit, we eat first and then you go to the playroom." said Eca while pressing the 7 button in the elevator.
"okay aunty can!"
"eittt wait" said someone scouring the elevator door that was almost closed.
"Ca, do you know if there's a new resident next to your apartment?" she said while pressing the 8 button.
"no, I just found out. When's moving?"
"about 2 hours ago. He was pacing his luggage. He also greeted me downstairs. Crazy one! He's a real handsome! Seriously Ca, his body and face were like gods!"
"haha. . . Overrated!"
"constance Ca. I'm not exaggerating. You'll see if you meet him. You must be straight on with the clamps."
"ngaco you are Dinda." said Eca, shaking her head.
"eh Edo is here!" dinda said hello to Edo.
"from aunty but auntie didn't see Edo! Aunt cool story continues the same aunty can."
"oh cramming. Sorry aunt didn't see you."
Eca and Edo part ways with Dinda. They entered the Eca's apartment. Edo immediately ran towards the playroom. He picked up a toy gun and shot it at an army toy. He also rolled around as if avoiding gunfire.
"eat Edo first!" eca shouted from outside.
"yes aunty!"
Edo and Eca ate voraciously. Occasionally Eca rubbed Edo's cheeks against the food. Eca smiled softly seeing Edo very greedy to eat. After eating, he frees Edo to play in the room.
Eca immediately did her job. She took up makeup tools and filmed herself. He was telling a make up graduation tutorial. Armed with experience and continue to learn from yout*be, Eca finally more adept at using makeup tools. Even some cosmetic brands work with him.
Finish taking video for about an hour and a half. Eca confirmed Edo's presence in the playroom. It turned out that his nephew had already fallen asleep on the bed with a toy gun in hand. Eca takes the toy and corrects Edo's sleeping position.
Eca returned to her study and began editing the video. He seriously edited the video while occasionally receiving phone calls from parties he wanted to work with. Eca really enjoys her job now because she likes it. Although tired, but his fatigue paid when the payment is in the account.
Drrt . . .
"hello Ca, mas already below" said mas Lintang from across there.
"okay mas. Wait a minute."
Eca went back to Edo's room. The nephew was awake and playing ball. He called Edo and told him where his papa was downstairs.
"papa has come Edo. Let's get down."
"okay aunty can!"
In the spirit of Edo holding Eca's hand. Seeing Edo who was still excited made Eca's smile rise. He swung their hands. When he lifted his head because the elevator was open, his eyes widened. He was very surprised to see a figure he had not seen for years.
"h-hi."
"Gian?"
