Nico
Three months later.
A small whimper at 6 am made him immediately put the laptop on the table. With wide but cautious strides in order not to awaken the Saint, he drew closer to the source of the sound. It was the baby box where the little girl slept.
Amanda Molek's. Droplet his face. The combination of the beautiful face of the mother and the handsome face of the papa. Baby Manda, as soon as the cute baby was called, who was born 5 weeks ago it seemed to squirm, twitch uncomfortably.
"Shhhh...." He patted slowly so that the little one did not whine when his eyes closed tightly.
"Honey, why hmm.kan was already mimi..." He said slowly so as not to awaken the Saint who had just fallen asleep 1 hour ago. Last night the wife woke up twice, at 11 and 3 in the morning because baby Manda was crying to suckle. And I can sleep again at 5 in the morning.
He felt the bottom of the cloth diaper. "Hm, pantesans. Papa's son's wetting..."
He had learned from the Saints how to change and put on new diapers. Until the next two weeks the plan is still to wear cloth diapers because it looks like the baby's skin is still sentisitf if wearing disposable diapers. Always rash.
He smiled with relief. After changing diapers, the cute baby returns to life with both hands raised past his tiny shoulders. Free free.
Tok to tok.
His gaze was now turned to the door of the room that was knocked on.
"Holy Aunt...About Nico....Naura can come in?"
He rushed to the door so that there would be no second cry from his nephew.
Naura smiled broadly with her two toothless front teeth as soon as she opened the door.
"Don't be noisy. Holy aunt again bobo." He put his index finger in front of his lips as Naura was about to speak.
"Naura wants to meet baby Manda," said the beautiful child who is now in 1st grade SD said half a whisper. Yesterday Naura and her parents bari arrived in Jakarta because they were waiting for a long weekend break so they could stay at their grandparents' house.
"Manda is still bobo. Yes, yes!" He looked at Naura's lips which suddenly conical along 5 cm.
"Om gubin on his lips." He teased Naura who was still sulking with those pursed lips.
Baby Manda's cry sounded loud. Naura instantly sparkled and barged in as soon as she scruffily turned her head into the room.
"Hi..adek Manda..ayo we sunbathe with brother..." Naura swiftly opened the lock on the left and right so that the bulkhead box could be lowered and she freely kissed the cheek of her cousin's chubby sister.
He was only able to shake his head at the behavior of his nephew.
The sound of baby Manda's cry and Naura's commotion made Saints wake up.
"Sleep again, baby. Let Manda take me out." He looked pityfully at the panda eyes of the wife who was deprived of sleep.
"Manda thirsty, Mas. Let me milk it first. I'll bring you some sunbathing." Saints slowly woke up and sat down for a moment gathering the lives that were still scattered.
Anita appears in the doorway and invites Naura down to the dining room for breakfast. But Naura refused by shaking her head.
"Adek Manda wants to suckle first, sister Naura also has to have breakfast first. Later accompany the sun."
The Holy Speech was able to make Naura melt and follow the mother down.
He smiled at his nursing daughter with a quick mouth movement as if afraid of running out.
"Ish, Papa's son is greedy. The rest for Papa, baby."
"MAS."
He smiled at the look of his wife's death.
****
Holier
The bustling sound in the living room, made him look up. Apparently baby Manda has finished sunbathing and now people with cheerful faces are crowding the adorable baby. There was a noisy Naura himself invited to talk to the baby who did not understand. Nico and the others watched as they chatted casually with Mother's Father and Anita. He smiles.
Her husband's family was so warm to her. Except with Mami Devi, he does not like it because of his hobbies are poya-foya, do not remember the age and do not remember to pay the debt. Fortunately there is now nothing, go back to Surabaya.
"Mas, have you had breakfast?"
"So I was copying. Eat it at 9."
"Holy, you should eat right away. Aunt masakin greens katuk. Let the ASI is swift." said Mother reminded.
He nodded and left the room.
Mother is attention. Food and nutritional support fruits are available in the kitchen that one access with a dining room.
"Your parents are very good. Umi's calm." He rang the words of the mother at the beginning of childbirth and stay at this bssar house for a week.
He looked up as soon as he heard the chair in front of him being pulled. It turned out that her brother-in-law was coming.
"Mas Jimmy, breakfast." He offered by giving a code of eye gaze towards his plate.
"It was with Naura. Just want to make a coffee."
He just nodded at his sister-in-law's answer and continued eating.
Not long after, Auntie came to bring Jimmy a cup of black coffee.
"When to go to Bali?" Jimmy asked while stirring his coffee that smokes smoke and emits a special aroma.
"It depends on Nico." He smiled thinly as he chewed the food that was covered in his mouth. Didn't know Jimmy was gonna take her for a chat.
Jimmy looked to the left and to the right. "No need to go with Nico if you want to go to Bali. He's always busy."
Jimmy moved his body until it was close to the side of the table. "You and your son can play in Bali at any time. Later I can pick up at the airport." he said by lowering his voice.
He felt uncomfortable being stared at at at close range by Jimmy. And what does that look mean? He knitted his eyebrows together, feeling that the gaze was unusual. I don't know the meaning of that look either. Just feeling awkward.
"God willing, I will visit Mas Nico." He cut the potato paste on the plate and fed it with the rice.
During the 18 months of marriage until now, only 1 time Nico invited her to visit her brother's house. Though they had several times a vacation to Bali, but Nico felt lazy to stop by and chose to keep it a secret if he and Nico were in Bali.
A bowl of vegetables katuk already toilet as a cover for his meal. He immediately went to clean his old dirty dishes into the kitchen. Although there is actually Sri one of the household assistants in charge of cleaning the dining table, but she prefers to do it herself. It's habitual.
"Abis gave birth to you even more beautiful. The aura's getting out."
He was shocked to hear Jimmy's voice behind him. I never thought I would follow him into the kitchen. After storing the dirty dishes in the sink, he turned his body. And Jimmy still stared at him intensely holding his empty glass of coffee.
"Usually a month abis lahiran still stretched, still fat. But you even look singset, contained and sexier." Jimmy spoke while looking at him from bottom to top as if he was scanning with a smile that I don't know.
Really, he did not feel flattered to be praised in such a way. Precisely the feathers bristled because the man who blocked his path was staring long at the chest with jakun down and up.
Amanda's crying sounds loud. The sound of Nico trying to calm down.
"Ah, Manda is crying. Excuse me, Mas." He felt there was a way to escape. Rush past Jimmy's side. He could sense that Jimmy was still following him through the eye.
Spontaneous shudder of his shoulders.
