Vibration of the Heart of Nirmala
Barbie Dolls

6 Years Later

It was a fun day off for Kevin. Because today his mother took a walk to the shopping center not far from his home. It's rare that Kevin's mom would take him along when he wanted to go shopping.

Kevin and his mother arrive at the supermarket. The mother bought various household needs. Starting from bath soap, toothpaste, shampoo, and kitchen needs such as oil, salt and other spices. Kevin was happy to spend time with his mother.

He walked from one hallway to the other. In each hallway was written the names of parts of objects or items displayed on each shelf. The hallway that says soap, then when we enter it, we will find a variety of soaps, ranging from dish soap, laundry soap, and bath soap.

They push the trolley from place to place buying everything they need. Kevin passed through a toy hallway. On the shelves there are many toys, there are cars, motorcycles, animal toys are also there. Kevin's gaze then turned to a barbie doll, a doll that is usually played by girls.

"Mommy, can Kevin not buy the doll?" Kevin who now sits in the 6th grade of Elementary School points to a barbie doll.

Her mother felt quite shocked and a little worried, all this time she was not paying attention to her son.

Doesn't Kevin understand that dolls are girls' toys? his inner.

"The toys are baby girls, Kevin should not buy it, if you want Kevin can choose other toys such as motorcycles or cars." Answer Kevin's mother who was busy again looking for groceries.

Kevin still kept looking at the brown-haired barbie doll. Not because he wanted to play it, Kevin was also completely uninterested in keeping or playing the doll. But he wanted to give it to Nirmala. However, Kevin was not forthright to his mother about it. He would rather secretly take the doll and put it in the trolley.

Nirmala must love this doll. Mami also won't know if I secretly put it in the trolley. My mom never paid attention to her groceries.

Kevin's mother who had been busy sorting and choosing whatever items she wanted to buy, did not realize that Kevin put a doll in the trolley. He finished shopping and started pushing his trolley looking for a cashier that wasn't too long.

"Mommy's done shopping, what about Kevin? is there anyone else you want to buy?" Ask Mother.

"No Mommy." Kevin replied while shaking his head.

Hopefully Mami doesn't know about the doll I put on the trolley. Inner Kevin.

"Yes, then let's go to the cashier, just over there yeah, like there's a little queue." His mother said Kevin while pushing his shopping trolley towards the designated cashier.

Kevin helped push the trolley until it reached the cashier queue. There's only three more queues left, Kevin's mom's turn. Until that second, his mother was still unaware of the Barbie doll that Kevin put in the trolley.

Kevin's mother's grocery turn is counted. Kevin pushes his trolley closer to the cashier. As usual, Kevin's mother would tell others to get her groceries out of the trolley to the cashier's desk. He never paid attention again to his groceries, he would prefer to be busy calling and immediately handed a debit card when the cashier asked for his payment.

Kevin already knew the habits of his mother so he felt that the doll he bought would remain safe without his mother knowing.

Thank goodness Mama didn't notice. Mami was used to it like that, never paying attention to her groceries while at the cashier.

Kevin's mother was still busy with her phone, she told others to help her carry groceries into the car. Private driver Kevin waiting in the parking lot saw Kevin and his mother come out of the shopping center, looks Mom Kevin's eyes look at his personal driver and waved.

The driver understood the meaning of his mistress and immediately drove his car closer to Levin and his mother. He stopped his car right in front of Kevin. Get out of the car and rush to pick up all the groceries and put them in the car. He also opens the door for his mistress and also for Kevin. But Kevin says there's no need to help him because he can do it himself.

"No need to open the car door for me, I'm already big and can do it myself." Said Kevin.

The driver followed what Kevin said. After Kevin closed the door, he looked at his mother who was busy with her phone. Kevin sat next to his mother, he wanted to tell a story but unfortunately his mother was too serious with her phone. Kevin also abandoned his intention to tell stories.

He just sat next to the window looking out. He wanted to be able to open the windshield of his car but his mother was always banned, dangerous, his mother said. It didn't feel like they were finally home.

Arriving home, Kevin's mother immediately got out of the car without touching her groceries. He was still busy with his cell phone and stepped inside his house. Kevin also follows his mother inside, he doesn't remember the doll he just bought.

Kevin's mother walks into the kitchen and looks for warm water. He felt thirsty and wanted to drink warm water, not wanting to drink cold water. In the kitchen there were several household assistants who were busy cooking, he told one of them to take the groceries in the car.

"Mba, please take all my groceries in the car, put them in their respective places neatly because I don't like to see something messy." Said Kevin's mother told her housekeeper to pick up groceries in the car.

Housekeeper Kevin was very deft, he quickly headed to the car and picked up the groceries little by little. Finished taking all the groceries in the car, all the groceries are neatly arranged in place. But he was confused when he found a Barbie doll because all this time there was never a doll in the house that was very grand and luxurious. Confused, he intends to meet his employer and ask about the Barbie doll.

He walked towards Kevin's mother's room while carrying the barbie doll. He saw Kevin's mom was busy dressing up, was putting up false eyelashes, it seemed like he was going away again. No time for the housekeeper to ask about the barbie doll, Kevin's mother had gone. Seemed very hasty walking. Out of curiosity, the housekeeper still intended to ask about the doll he brought.

"Mrs!" the housekeeper was trying to chase after his mistress who was walking very fast.

"Oh mba, I'm in a hurry, if anyone wants to talk about it later, yes, if I'm home. Please take care of the house and Kevin's good." Kevin's mother immediately got in the car and told the driver to walk immediately without giving the housekeeper a chance to talk.

Madam has left again, and then this doll will be put where? if you put it wrong, madam would be angry. If it is not placed, it will be even more angry. Dizziness me.

The housekeeper came back home disappointed and worried that he might make a mistake. In his anxiety and because there was a little crowded made Kevin curious.

"What's the mba?" Kevin suddenly appeared in front of the housekeeper while sipping cold water from inside the fridge.

"Here's Ko, where's this doll going to be put?" ask the house assistant.

"nooh." Kevin who was drinking choked to see a barbie doll in the hands of his housekeeper.

"Why Ko?, Koko is okay, right?" the housekeeper panicked.

Koko is Kevin's calling in his family, all the housekeepers, gardeners and drivers call him that.

Kevin chokes while drinking because he sees the housekeeper holding a barbie doll he bought.

Oh my God, I forgot about it. Fortunately, my mom did not know.

The housekeeper then gave up the Barbie doll to Kevin.

"This doll is for Nirmala." Kevin said in his heart.

"Tomorrow I'll give it to you after school." Kevin continued his words still in his heart.

He returned to his room and began to fall down while looking at the doll. She was sure Nirmala would love it, because once she was a girl she usually liked dolls.

***

The next day after Kevin came from school.

"Mba, I'll play out for a second." Kevin, ask his maid for permission.

"Don't go far Ko playnya." said his mba it.

Kevin is used to playing outside the house every time he goes home from school, he can play until the afternoon before Maghrib. Especially if he plays at Nirmala's house, he can forget the time.

Today he wants to meet Nirmala and give her the doll he bought yesterday. He ran to Nirmala's house, at the gate of Nirmala's house guarded by security guards, Kevin knew the security guard because almost every day Kevin came to Nirmala's house. The security guard at Nirmala's house was also very close to him. Not just a security guard, almost everyone in Nirmala's house is close to Kevin.

As soon as he entered the gate, Kevin immediately ran towards the park near the pool. Kevin knows Nirmala is happy to be there. Sure enough, Nirmala was there. He was sitting looking at the calm water. Suddenly Kevin came to surprise her.

"Dor ... !" Kevin surprised the little girl who was daydreaming and held the little girl's shoulder.

Nirmala looked over and was a little surprised.

"Sister Kevin, just startle" said Nirmala.

"See what I brought?" Kevin shows Nirmala a brunette Barbie doll.

Nirmala's expression looked ordinary. It was unexpected that Kevin thought that Nirmala would be so happy to receive a gift from him.

"The Barbie doll" said Nirmala flat.

"Hi, this is funny and pretty. You don't like it?" asked Kevin curiously.

"Like." answered Nirmala briefly.

Nirmala was still daydreaming even though Kevin was desperately trying to comfort her. The silence ensued because Kevin had started to shut up and was not trying to comfort Nirmala again. Kevin sat down and looked around the house.

"Where is Sona?" Kevin tried to break the silence.

Bi Sona who accidentally heard Kevin's words suddenly appeared just like that.

"It seems like someone is talking about aunty," Bi Sona suddenly appeared from inside the room while bringing her own snacks, cat tongue cookies.

Nirmala's favorite cake, do not forget also bi Sona brought fresh and sweet orange juz.

"Let's taste the cake." Bi Sona poked the cake at Kevin and Nirmala.

Without further ado Kevin took the cake and ate it.

"Mmm, the cake is so delicious," Kevin praised the cake made by Bi Sona.

"Thank you." Bi Sona replied gently with a smile.

"Auntie lives first yes, there is still a lot of work in the kitchen." Bi Sona placed the cake and drinks on the table and rushed back to the kitchen.

Nirmala is still daydreaming, while Kevin is fun to enjoy the cake made by Sona. Since she was a baby, Nirmala did not receive attention and affection from her parents. His father who is always busy doing business until out of the country, while his mother in addition to doing business with his father is also a socialite woman who is a hobby arisan. His parents were almost never at home, even if they were in the house just to sleep.

Nirmala suddenly stood up and walked away from Kevin.

"I'm sleepy, I'm going to take a nap" Nirmala told Kevin.

"Owh the sleepy princess? all right, beautiful princess, have a good nap, sweet dreams." Kevin replied to Nirmala.

Nirmala went into her room, in her room she just kept quiet and put the still-wrapped Barbie doll on her bedside table. Kevin is sitting alone by the pool.

He looked at the photos of his parents' faces.

"When mom and dad can have some time to play with Nirmala, Nirmala wants to play in the park like Nirmala's other friends." Nirmala spoke to herself while hugging a photo of her parents.

Both of Nirmala's parents are in London, as usual, taking care of a business.

It wasn't long before Sona came to the room to see Nirmala. Nirmala had fallen asleep hugging a picture of her parents, always like that. Bi Sona took the photo and placed it on the table, right next to Kevin's barbie doll. Bi Sona enveloped Nirmala and closed the door of the room.

Bi Sona went down the stairs one by one, her steps were so slow because she did not want the sound of her footsteps to be heard all the way to Nirmala's room.

Suddenly the rain fell so hard, bi Sona immediately ran to remember her mattress. Fortunately, it turns out that Bi Sona's mattress has been lifted by the Slamet pack. The rain is getting heavy, bi Sona intends to take Kevin home, but Kevin actually does not want to go home because he still wants to enjoy the cat tongue cake made by Sona.
