Happy reading ..
******************
“A - sk Girl to stay with me in our house here before we go (Min – ta Girl to stay with me in our house which is here before we go )”
“Heeemm?????”
The Son's eyes immediately widened after hearing Anthony's request.
“Wh – at did you say? (Ka – you said what just now?)”
My son doesn't believe what he hears.
While Danny spontaneously chuckles.
And Son glanced irritatedly at Danny. Then back to Anthony.
“I - will miss her (I – will miss her). S – o before we are going back to our house before, Girl can stay with us right? (Ja – in before we all return to our previous home, Girl can stay with us first
right?)”
Anthony is speaking plainly.
Putra rubbed his nape at Anthony's request. “Ca-n you Papa? As-k Girl to stay with us before we go? (Bi-sa isn't Papa? Min-ta Girl stayed with us before we left?)”
“Eum ..”
“Ca-n you? (Bi-sa no?)”
The son is wrong. Anthony's request that he felt was unreasonable made him dizzy himself.
“Anth ..” Son rubbing babe head Anthony. “I’m so sorry if what I will say probably dissapoint you (I'm sorry if what I'm going to say this might disappoint you)”
“.....”
“But Anth, we can’t ask Girl for that”
“(But Anth, we can't just ask Girl to do that)”
“W-hy? (Why?)” Ask Anthony plainly. The son smiled his smile.
“Look, Girl must be has a family. Has her own home. That is also not poly if we ask her like that. Beside, we just know her”
“(Look, Girls definitely have families. Have his own home. And again it's not polite nor should we ask her like that. Besides, we also just know him)”
“B-ut Girl is so nice (Te-but Girl is very nice)” said Anthony plain.
“She is (Yes indeed)” The son nodded surely.
“Then? (Then?)”
“Same with what Girl means to us, new person around us. That’s how the way us for her. You understand what I mean, hem?”
“(Just as we think a Girl is a new person near us, so does she feel for us. You understand what I mean, hem?)”
Putra explained slowly – slowly to Anthony. Sort out a word that Anthony could digest.
But Anthony nodded. Makes the son grimace a little. Rethink the word – words that Anthony can better understand.
“Girl just known us, if we ask her to stay with us, I’m afraid that she will feel offended. You don’t if Girl feel like that to us, don’t you?”
“(Gadis just got to know us, if we ask her if she wants to stay with us, I'm worried if she will be offended later. You don't want him to feel that way at us, do you?)”
“.....”
“A little bit not polyte”
“(Slightly impolite)”
“.....”
“You don’t want Girl avoiding you because she feels offended, right?”
“(You don't want Girl to stay away from you because she feels offended, do you?)”
Anthony shakes.
The son smiled as he rubbed Anthony's head again.
“I know you are a good Boy (I know you're a good boy)”
Anthony smiled, including Danny.
“Don’t be sad (Don't be sad), yes?” Say the Son again. “I promise that I will still to take you to meet Girl every week (I promise that I will still take you to see Girl every week)”
“Re-ally Papa?... (Papa-narkah?).”
The son nodded with a smile.
“Bu-t can I ask Girl to accomplish me everyday before we leave?”
“(Ta-pi can I ask Girl to accompany me every day before we go?)”
The son did not answer. “I am not sure that she had a lot of time to spend with you (I'm not sure if she has a lot of time to be with you)”
“Wh-y? (Why?)”
“She is working, remember?. Beside...”
“(He's working, remember?. Anyway.)”.
The son hung up his sentence.
"Be-side what, Papa? (What's up, Papa?)"
“Beside, Girl is an aspiring nun. So I guess that she has some rules to obey?”
“(After all, the girl is a nun candidate. So I think there are some rules that he has to abide by)”
“Wh-at is.. aspiring nun? (What is a nun candidate?)”
“A God servant (God Servant)”
Anthony mangosteen – mangosteen,
‘Even I really want she won’t (Although I really hope she won't)’
***
Danny's parked his car in the hospital yard. Then the three of them got out of the car and entered the Hospital area. Anthony asked not to be carried, so the Son granted it.
But the Son still holds Anthony's hand while walking.
“Ma-y I walk by myself, Papa? ..... (Should I walk alone, Papa?)....”
“Yes, sure” Sahut Putra. “But don’t run or walk too fast (But don't run or walk too fast)”
“Ye-s, Papa (I-yes, Papa)” Anthony nodded his head.
***
The son and Danny smiled as they watched Anthony walk in front of them excitedly into the nurse's room.
“Anth really likes that nurse (Anth is right – really likes that nurse)” Said Danny and Son of a mangosteen – mangosteen.
“He is”
“Don’t you want to consider it? (Don't you consider it?)”
“Consider about what? (Considering about what?)”
“To get a little bit closer with that nurse (To get close to that nurse)”
The little chuckling son.
“How can I try to get closer with an aspiring nun?”
“(How can I approach a nun candidate?)”
“How if she is not an aspiring nun? (What if she's not a nun candidate?)” Danny asked back.
“Since when you have become a Want To Know person, huh? (Since when did you become the One Who Really Wanted to Know, hem?)”
“But you have fond of her don’t you? (But you like it don't you?)”
The son did not answer Danny's question which was a trick for him.
“Silence means yes (Silence means yes)”
“Mind your own business (More of your own business)”
Danny chuckled again.
***
“By the way, Son (By the way – says, Son)” Danny said.
Putra only replied with hem – man only.
“You really don’t want continue Anth consultation with Doctor Ilse? (You're right – really don't want to continue the Anth consultation session with Doctor Ilse?)”
Danny's question made Putra slow down. “I think Anth don’t need that anymore now (I think Anth no longer needs it now)” Sahut Putra.
“Ya you were right (Yes you were right)” Danny mangosteen – mangosteen.
“Beside, last time I met her she made me a little bit upset of the way she treat Anth (In addition, last time I met her she made me a little upset over her attitude towards Anthony)”
Danny mangosteen – mangosteen.
“And if Anth need consultation, I think Nurse Girl is more suit for Anth (And if indeed Anth need consultation, I think Sister Girl is more suitable for Anth)”
The son raised his eyebrows at Danny to make Danny spontaneously chuckle. “See, you really fond of that nurse (Look, you did like that nurse)” Tweet Danny.
“Hahahaha! ..” The son chuckled as he sped up to chase after Anthony who started running when he was almost to the nurse's room where the ordinary girl was.
***
The son develops his handsome smile automatically on a woman who walks from outside while holding Anthony. The Son's smile grew even more as the woman smiled back at him. Danny was mocked by his dehem.
“Good day Mr. Son, Mr. Danny”
“Good day Miss Girl” Sahut Danny
“How are you?”
“My good news” Sahut Danny “Master Son is even better”
And success makes the Son to lean on him. The girl just smiled.
“I think yesterday we agreed to call each other the name”
Son talking.
“Ah, yes I forgot”
“Also use me”
Little chuckle girl. “It also forgot”
“I'm sorry”
The girl chuckles again.
The son developed his smile again.
“Mari”
The Son invites the girl to walk. And the girl nodded and then she took the first step with Anthony. Son and Danny followed behind Anthony who was taken by the Girl.
Anthony looks so happy to see you again. It was seen that her hand that was linked with the hand of the Girl was swung forward and back as she walked with the Girl. I don't know who swung the hand, which obviously there is a hope that appears in someone's heart to hold the hand of the nurse who was walking with Anthony.
“I know you are thinking about hold her hand (I know you are thinking of holding her hand)”
Danny started again with his plunge on the Son.
“Nosy (Usil)”
“Hahaha!!”
“Putra ..” The son stopped his steps as the girl stopped walking and turned to face him.
“Ya?”
“Where do we want to eat?”
“You determined just”
“I keep the decisive time?”
“I will not know this city very well, including – places that are good places to visit, including Restaurant”
“Looks you ...”
“You”
“Sorry, not used to” yet
“Then get used to”
The girl snorted amusedly but then she nodded.
“Iya”
“Are you not supposed to accompany Doctor Retno to check on the patient Sister Girl?”
A voice made the girl who had been talking to the Son turn to the source of the voice.
“Doctor Ilse, good afternoon”
The girl greeted kindly and politely at Ilse who was already standing in front of her.
But Ilse ignored the greeting of the Girl.
“Putra .. how are you (How are you?)”
Ilse threw her smile at the Son.
“I'm good, Thank you” Sahut Putra naturally.
Ilse still maintained her smile, then crouched down before Anthony.
“Hi Anthony's. How are you? (Hi Anthony's. How are you?)” Ilse asked Anthony very gently, but unfortunately the boy did not answer Ilse's greeting.
“Anthony, Doctor Ilse asked you (Anthony, Doctor Ilse asked you)”
“....”
“You have to answer her (You have to answer her)”
“Girl were right Anth, you need to answer when someone asked you”
“(Girl is right Anth, you have to answer when someone asks you)”
The son chimed in.
“I-m good's... (I'm good ..)”
“Glad to hear it ... (Happy to hear it)”
Anthony took his face off from Doctor Ilse. Making the Doctor look disappointed at a glance, but still pull the corner of his lips.
Then Ilse stood up again.
“Ga-dis.. can we go now? (Ga-dis... can we go now?)”
“Su... (Ten..)”
“I’m afraid she can’t (I don't think she can)”
