TOMB (MAriska AlKAM)
Mommy, I want to have papa...

Mariska is working on a proposal for a client she will meet next week. This time he did it at home, which became his office. When concentrating, the phone screen turns on. A name of Miss Rania came up. His forehead frowned, the tumben was still at school and the twin teacher called him. An uneasy feeling instantly ambushed him, no need to linger he immediately grabbed the flat object located in front of him

the-hello? yes miss.-.

- yes.sorry to interrupt.-.

- not miss..what's up? what are the twins?-

- hmm.begini.arden quarreled with his friend, but this time it was very difficult for me to calm down.so.

- okay, I'm there now miss.-.

Without waiting for an answer from the teacher, Mariska immediately closed the call and moved from her seat, entered the room to change clothes and snatched the car keys.

He drove his sports car at high speed. He can already guess, if Arden must still be bullied by his friends. There was a sense of regret in his heart, why he still had not had time to visit and face the twin teacher to complain about what Arden felt, and what he felt, since his son was telling if he was often ridiculed by his friends.

It didn't take long, the sports car was parked in the school yard of the twins. With a hurried step he ran towards the office.

Tok.dok..

The entire room immediately turned towards the source of the sound. Mariska saw her two children sitting on a sofa, looking Aretha hugged Arden who was still as excited and Miss Rania stroked her son's back. Mariska stepped into the room, looking as Miss Rania stood up to greet her

" brother why darling.kok nangis.." he said softly while bending his knees in front of the twins. Instead of answering, Arden immediately hugged his mother.

" it is normal to be mii.in the same words as faraz.." replied Aretha with a frown. Her little girl looked angry but there was no trace of tears on her pretty face. Mariska seemed to roll her eyes, panted. Faraz again faraz. I want to see the faces of my parents how.

" the brother was in katain if he would not have papa.trus was also hit.tuh his cheeks are red.aretha does not like the brother in gituin.." he continued full of emotion. Mariska didn't say a word, just pulled her daughter into her arms. Shortly after feeling the warmth of the mother's embrace, Aretha pulled her body and looked at the mother's face.

" but.is it true mi..kalo aretha same brother will not have papa? " he asked with teary eyes and soon after his cry exploded. Mariska was only able to hug her two baby tighter. Her heart was sliced, it hurt to see her two children crying. Miss Rania who saw the heartwarming sight, shed tears. It is a struggle for a single parent.

***

The three of them were now in the car, the mother drove the vehicle at medium speed.

" same brother wants ice cream? "

The answer breaks the silence. But both of his hearts were silent. Their eyes still look sad.

" want some candy? want to buy toys? wanna go for a walk?" bargain many times and still with the same answer, head bobble.

" what do you want, dong?" tanyanya gave up

" brother wants to have papa." said Arden slowly while looking down.

" aretha also want mommy..we buy aja papa at the toy store, how?" plain propose.

Mariska scratched her non-itchy head while smiling wryly.

" ngaco ah.masak nyari papa in the toy store.yawah..we eat only first yes.abis eat, we buy toys.oke..."

He said while directing the speed of his vehicle towards the cafe owned by Aktam. It didn't take long, he immediately parked his vehicle. The twins looked at the cafe from the car

" we're buying papa here?" ask Arden plain

" hahaha.did not love.we eat first yes.let have energy for papa nyari for you.." said Mariska so that the twins want to come down and eat. Because this is their meal, Miss Rania had said that the two of them had not had lunch because after the fight Arden just cried and Aretha always accompanied him.

" seriously mommy?? if you eat, you can get papa???"

Mariska choked to hear her son's question.duh.tadi like wrong talk deh.

" hmmm..not that also bang..I mean mommy..we have to eat a lot.biar healthy.biar strong..kan was a brother ama adek belom eat right?"

" if you're healthy and strong, can you find papa? isn't that?" ask aretha

" yes, that's it.yawah yuk.turun yuk.."

Finally the trick worked. The important thing is that now both of his children are going to come down and eat. Next, think along the way.

The three of them went into the cafe, Mariska circulated the view of finding an empty chair that if it was comfortable to sit the three of them. Just at that moment, Aktam came out from the kitchen, checking the food ingredients that had just arrived.

And a moment later came the cheerful cries of the two boys who were able to make everyone in the room turn towards them.

" oooommmmmm alkaaaammmm." cried Arden and Aretha in a maximum voice. The happy faces of the two boys looked at the man in front of them. The owner of the name also raised his face and immediately then his smile expanded, he opened both of his hands wide and the two pairs of small legs in front of him ran with all their might scattering their bodies towards the burly body that was in front.

Because of the hardness of the two small bodies hit him, Alkam also fell down to make the two boys laugh happily.

" wuihhhh..long time no see, the stronger you are. om ampe not strong.."

" yes dong.we have been 5 years om..already big dong.." replied Arden

The chatter had not continued, it seemed that a pair of white legs clad in black flatshoes were already standing in front of the three of them. Crossed her arms in front of her chest and slightly glared at her beautiful eyes.

" im so sorry mommy." said Aretha while releasing a hug and standing up straight.

" brother also sorry mommy.abisnya we were very pleased to see om aktam.."

Seeing the two children looking down in fear, Alkam stood up and tidied his clothes

" don't be angry.the name is also a child.."

" ishh..Who would want to be angry?"

" that's what it is.he's so fierce..."

" ihh...gw shy to know, look at all everyone ngeliatin..noisy anyway.tau that I did not have to invite here.." scolding slowly.

Aktam seemed to circulate his gaze and smile towards the visitors who looked at them. Then his gaze returned to the two boys before him.

" yuk..sit at the end of there yuk..what do you want to eat?" he said while holding the twins in his right and left hands, stepping feet leaving Mariska still in place.

" what are you going to eat?" asked Alkam after the four of them dropped their bodies on a chair in the corner of the room.

" what do you choose, we eat..yes bang?" replied aretha while asking for approval towards Arden who then got a nod of the head from the older brother.

The three of them returned to chat with fun, Mariska felt ignored. He grabbed his phone then casually began to photograph and record the behavior of the three humans in front of him.

Soon their orders came.

" loh.kak Mariska..long time not here brother.." greet Gina while putting various menus of their orders.

" the haloo gina.long time no see..."

" same as brother? kok very familiar with the boss.." he asked while glancing at the boss who was still busy chatting with the two children.

" that's not.that's my son..."

" what?? mariska already has a child? I think it's still single." he said in shock as he closed his mouth with one hand because the other hand was holding the tray.

" yes you are still single." replied Mariska relaxed with a smile. The people who heard their conversation, replied

" oh.real that often makes you long anterin pesenan tuh because you huddle first?"

Gina stammered then smiled wryly and immediately fled back.

" hahahah.galak very much the same employee.."

" it's not fierce, but firm.."

" yeah lah.okelah.but btw thanks yes.has been able to make the twins laugh today." he said slowly while looking at his two children who were eating their lunch greedily. Alkam looked at Mariska not understanding

" today was a hard day for them.gw was actually the thought of ngajak they eat here because according to gw the place is delicious.cuman turned out to even meet elo, elo, which makes them laugh again.."

" emang why? "

" it's normal.gw abis from school, arden in the bully again.."

" is that the old problem?"

" yes.let alone.cuman I've given a warning to the school, if this happens again, I'll move them.."

Alkam looked at the two boys in front of him one by one, they looked voracious. His sturdy hands stretched out stroking their heads one by one. Then he asked

" abis eat, what do you want ? want to walk?"

" when you go, do you want to come?" ask Aretha

" do you want to talk to me?"

" want.mau.mau.." they cried enthusiastically.

" where do you want to go?"

" my brother's going to the toy store.."

" oh yeah? want to buy what?"

" brother wants to buy papa.babang wants to have papa om.."

" aretha too.aretha also wants to have papa.."

Alkam was astonished to hear the funny words of the twins, he turned towards the mother asking for an explanation. Mariska just smiled wryly while scratching her head that did not itch.

" yaudah.makan in abisin, then take you to the toy store.."

" really om???"

" really." she replied with a smile.

" let's bang.eat it in abisin.we walk ama om alkam.." invite aretha.

" hahaha.not lah.ntar I bought a girlfriend first at the toy store.barengan ama arden.."

" haha.shial lo.."

" hmm..trus how's the continuation? if they still have papa at the toy store?"

" ntar lah.pelan-pelan tau.but not today.."

Alkam nodded in agreement. For some reason, seeing the twins sad, his heart was also sad. What is this feeling...
