This morning Fanti was very upset with Kenli, because Kenli was invited to work today but he just skidded around at home.


Fanti's face pouted since this morning, when Kenli went to take Kesyi and Dafa to school he was very long back home. He came back at exactly 08:30.


"Why long?" Ask Fanti.


"So help Beni! Make the fuck!" Kenli Kawab.


Rici's a little fussy today because he's had a fever since last night. This morning the fever has gone down but still a bit fussy, probably because it has not fully recovered. Fanti gives back the heat-lowering drug to Rici and feeds him a meal.


"Rici, come eat first baby!" Fanti.


Kenli who was sitting on the sofa did not get a chance to be with Rici. Fanti did not let Rici on Kenli for a while.


Not accidentally, Fanti did that. Fanti didn't give Kenli a chance to get Kenli to go to work.


Shortly afterwards Kenli had prepared to go to work. He knew that Fanti was not in the mood right now.


"Rici, papa go first!" Kenli.


Fanti was silent, not answering Kenli's words. Fanti knows that Kenli left feeling forced. Whatever, the important thing is that he goes to work. Think Fanti.


Kenli had left before long Dafa came home from school. Shoes up to an inch of red colored pants that Dafa wears wet.


"Assalamualaikum," Dafa gave his greetings upon entering the house.


"Getishalight." Answer Fanti. "Home home! Why wet?" Ask Fanti.


"Yes. That was Ma! I walk while eating cake while walking, do not see the road. It turns out that in front there is a watering hole. I went in there, because I didn't see the road. Fortunately I didn't fall down." Obviously Dafa.


"Yes, dadah. Put the shoes behind the fridge." Fanti Pinta.


Dafa took off his school clothes and put them in a dirty basket, then placed them in his shoes and put them behind the fridge.


Rici was sleeping at the moment, so Fanti used the opportunity to start her work.


Not yet finished work Rici has awakened and whines at Fanti. Forced Fanti must take care of Rici first because Rici who is also not healthy.


"Assynnya!" Kesyi's voice greeted. He came home from school.


"Glamma!" Reply Fanti and Dafa.


"Sister, greetings first." Say Dafa because Kesyi went straight into his room.


"Yes. I'm gonna change my clothes first." Kesyi.


"Already Daf. He had forgotten how to respect his parents. Mentang6mang is already big so do as you like." Fanti said to Kesyi.


Kesyi just silence does not change Fanti's words. Fia was scared when Fanti had already spoken like that, in another tone. Kesyi would not dare to refute Fanti.


"Kesyi, keep up the homework. Mama's gonna put Rici to bed again. And you remember Kesyi, respect someone older than you. It's not just your parents that you have to respect, but everyone else older than you all have to respect." Fanti.


Kesyi just listened, without refuting a bit. Then she goes to finish Fanti's pending work after Fanti finishes giving her a look.


After Fanti put Rici to bed again, he started cooking. Take fish from the refrigerator and also the spices that will be used.


Finished Fanti cooking Kesyi immediately take food for him and Rici. Dafa, too, took food for himself. They ate together in front of the TV.

By 03:15 Kenli had come home from work. Fanti awakens from his sleep when Kenli enters.


Rici, who saw Kenli, cried to meet him and Kesyi immediately led Rici home.


"Father! Papa." Pekik Rici on Kesyi, while Kesyi was playing with his friend.


"Come on. We go papa." Take Kesyi to Rici.


Kesyi took Rici and drove him to Kenli who was eating.


"Fia wants to be the same papa, he said!" Kesyi after coming home.


"here! Wanna eat?" Ask Kenli to Rici.


"It's not!" Said Rici asking for fish to Kenli.


"It!" Kenli gave the fish to Rici and he picked it up cheerfully.


"Mama is inside. Come on!" Pinta Kenli, let Rici go to Fanti.


"Ma! Ma!" Call Rici and lie down next to Fanti.


"Hm, what do you want Rici!" Fanti asked as he held his son from the side.


"Deda! The deda!" I don't know what it means Fanti just say yes.


Rici's body warmed up again, it looks like Rici is not well right, thought Fanti.


"True, take Rici's medicine." Fanti Pinta.


Kesyi immediately took a jar containing drugs purchased from pharmacies. Fanti's family rarely went to the doctor, except for sudden circumstances. Fanti will find out the cause of the disease in the google application and look for drugs that fit the disease and its symptoms. And it turned out to be very effective, from the symptoms of Fanti disease will know what disease is caused by the symptoms, then will look for drugs that fit the pain and symptoms. Because it has been since the household Fanti very rarely to the doctor let alone to the hospital. Fia will rely on doctors when she doesn't find what she's looking for to treat their pain. Fanti also likes to use herbal medicines from pills or tablets that he buys at the pharmacy or that he gets from the doctor. Fanti would ask a dozen who knew the medicinal herbs and would concoct them himself. According to Fanti it is a natural remedy and has no side effects.


After giving the medicine to Rici, Fanti rushed over to finish her job.


After finishing work, Fanti returned to accompany Rici. Playing and comforting her, Fanti is very attentive when her children are sick, although some people think that Fanti is excessive and hard children. But in fact Fanti was just assertive, before scolding his children he would see the place and circumstances so that his children were not ashamed, he said, he will not be angry when he is on the road or there are guests at home, even though only neighbors around him who stopped by at his house. Fanti will also be firm when children make mistakes, and will not give tolerance when their mistakes are fatal.


By nightfall, Kenli was already busy looking for food. There is only rice in the penanak no side dishes or anything for friends to eat rice, Kenli thought to buy eggs only.


"Do you want to eat eggs?" Ask Kenli.


"No. There's still one more fish in the fridge!" Fanti.


"There's fish?" Ask Kenli to make sure.


"Yes. I just kept one vegetable mixed up!" Fanti Obviously.


"I think it's over!" Kenli said as he walked towards the refrigerator, confirming what Fanti said.


"There was. Want to make from earlier! But the cab is over." Fanti said, watching Kenli take the fish out of the fridge.


Kenli cooked the fish potluck after that he ate.


Fanti did not eat because he was attacked by drowsiness. Kesyi and Dafa had fallen asleep first. Kenli catches up with them to sleep after eating, and eventually the entire Tama family falls asleep.
