Dusk Sky
The Dilemma of Parents 2

"Daddy lanaaang..."

Anna immediately left her toy as soon as she heard her father's voice. Running as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Dusk could only shake his daughter's behavior. Holding the Emperor's hand to join the father and son who were hugging in the family room.

"Tumben, ma'am, is it still noon?" Dusk helped her husband take off his suit and pick up the bag lying on the sofa. Ask their domestic worker to take her to the room. "What's the guilt of running out of dates?"

Baskara chuckles and kisses his wife's forehead. "Something is jealous. Tomorrow's another date ah let's be jealous." God.

The harsh pinching of the stomach made Baskara complain and ask for forgiveness. "Dare you walk with women again? I'm going home to papa's!"

Anna had wanted to help her father from his mother's torment, but his hand was blocked by the Emperor who shook his head at her.

"Please.. Forgive darling.." Baskara held the hand of his wife who was still pinching him strongly. "How dare I leave this diamond for the dust of the streets."

Dusk still glanced at him sharply before releasing the fingers from the stomach of the husband.

"I want to go home to play with the kids." added Baskara who took a paperbag that was also on the sofa. "Look, what's daddy carrying? Taraaa." handed it to their children, one toy each. Anna exclaimed enthusiastically as well as the Emperor who despite not being as excited as her brother, but a happy look was clearly visible on her innocent face.

"When you do the job, there will never be an end, dear." Baskara approached the wife. Embracing the waist of the already seated Dusk. Leaving both of their children who were busy opening the toys that Baskara asked to be wrapped in gifts. "But the children's time will run out. You know they're big and we're gonna regret missing their kids."

The look of the Dusk changed softly. What her husband said was absolutely true. They cannot repeat the time when children are still as adorable as they are today. Still need their attention. Still want to kiss them without protest because the shame is as big as he was.

The time they have is only a weekend that is not uncommon is also still used to work at home. Every night after work, they only have a little time before the kids go to bed after dinner.

"Even if we can't go home every day like this. As a matter of fact, we could spare a moment when we could." this time Baskara actually hugged his wife from the side.

"You're right. I should be a mother who has more time to spend on them." lamented Dusk. He promised in his heart, when the new place is finished, he will work more from home. At least be able to pick up the kids home from school and play with them before the two take a nap. "I'll work a lot at home."

"No need to be forced, the rest of you are, ayy."

"Daddy.. This what?" anna exclaimed away the toy Baskara had bought. "Anna doesn't like it! Anna doesn't want a baby sister!"

Dusk looked at her husband and shook his head. Already knew their daughter least wanted to have a sister. Her husband could buy a baby reborn doll.

"It's funny, baby." Baskara picked up the doll, which resembled the baby, and knelt in front of her son. "Anna can play baby. Anna mandiin, Anna give milk. Anna put on Barbie's rich dress, Anna."

Anna shakes. "Barbie Anna beautiful. It's not pretty."

"But funny." said the Emperor took the doll in his father's hand. "You look like you fit a baby."

The little girl was shaking her waist. "I'm beautiful! not as ugly as he is!" Anna was about to throw the doll in her sister's hand when her mother's voice sounded.

"Anna. Can't be rude dear.." interrupt Dusk gently and bring his daughter before him. Staring at those small clear eyes.The eyes that look very beautiful when sparkling happy. "How does Anna feel if Anna's friends don't want to play with Anna?"

"Anna will be sad, mom." replied Anna with the remnants of her annoyance.

"That's also what felt the same doll that daddy bought. He would be sad because Anna yelled dislike towards him. Anna doesn't want to play with him. What else if Anna throws him. She must be very sad."

"But Anna doesn't like it, mom." - the great-grandson. "Anna doesn't want a baby sister."

"That's not a baby sister. It was just a doll to accompany Anna to play." Dusk take the little body of his daughter who looked down sadly into the embrace.

"But daddy's gonna bring a baby sister who's alive if Anna likes the doll." Anna's eyes and nose start blushing. The child is very sensitive when it comes to the baby's sister.

"Mommy won't force Anna to be the sister of a baby sister." said Dusk still with tenderness. "If Anna doesn't want to, mommy same daddy won't give Anna a baby sister, baby."

Anna took off their arms to look at her mother's face. "Mommy promise?"

Dusk nodded with a smile. "Mommy promised." he said. "Now, say thanks to daddy and take care of the toys."

Anna rubbed her already glazed eyes. Not shed her tears.

From her mother's arms, Anna hugged and kissed her father's cheek. "Thankyou daddydy.. Anna promised to play with baby Elika."

"Elika?" beo Baskara and Dusk together.

Their daughter nodded and pointed at the doll that Kai was now giving an empty milk bottle.

"Name Elika. Eliana and the Emperor."

Both adults laughed. After balking, Anna had already prepared a name for the doll.

It was the little girl's custom to name every doll she had.

"But Kai wants a sister, mom." said the Emperor unexpectedly. "It's funny" he added, looking anxious with his brother's new toy.

"Why are you always so compact!" exclaimed Anna back in a waistline and looks fierce. Just dusk when it was still bar-bar.

"Why? it's funny." The Emperor looked at Anna confusedly. "What more if you live and move. It must be funnier."

Anna clucking. "You don't know, Kai!" protest the girl. "Later if mommy and daddy had a baby sister, we wouldn't be loved anymore. Just like Jiel when his sister was brought home." Anna mentioned the name of one of her friends at the school who had a baby sister.

"Said Jiel, his mom and dad hold his baby sister more often! what if her sister was crying. Jiel asked for food not to be heard and only accompanied by a nurse. I don't want to!"

Anna hugged Baskara. "Anna always wants daddy fat! daddy can't carry another one! Anna also wants to play with mommy and daddy. Want to be accompanied to sleep by reading a fairy tale or singing as usual" said the little girl who did not know what to answer Baskara.

"Anna doesn't want to be like Jiel who is sad because her mom and dad can't keep her company playing and have to sleep by themselves. Anna always wanted to be like this. With mommy, daddy, Kai. Always four."

From the princess, making Dusk more confident to decide to work from home after being conducive later.
