The Babysitter Belongs to the Duda
Scrumptiousness


Hulim's grandmother walked haughtily into the hospital lobby followed by her son and father-in-law. Even both of them can only slightly lower their heads when entering the hospital because their cheeks are still flushed.


Mama Fikri had tried to cover it with powder but was unsuccessful. Still, both of his cheeks flushed and even seen his slap marks in the form of five fingers. Indeed, his father-in-law, if angry, he better be silent than sprayed all-out.


"The road is rich in snails, next year only until this in my grandson's room" said Granny Hulim.


Because the two of them were walking while looking down so they stepped their feet carefully. They are so embarrassed when they get caught by the crowd if their cheeks get slapped. Both had not had time to shower but had to go back to the hospital.


Chequek...


Everyone in the room turned to see who was coming. Fikri rounded his eyes in disbelief at the arrival of someone who since childhood gave him affection. He had not seen her for a long time because his parents had no time to accompany him to visit his grandmother.


Although it has not met for several years, but Fikri can still recognize how the face of the grandmother. The eyes of Fikri and Grandma Hulim glazed over because of the longing that was so intense.


"Grandmother.." exclaimed Fikri.


Nadia and her two children who did not know who came were so surprised to hear the call from Fikri. But their shock changed with the presence of two people who all knew as the parents of Fikri. Means it is true if this brought is the brother of Fikri, proved the parents of the boy.


Grandma Hulim immediately walked quickly towards the grandchild's gurney. After successfully approaching the gurney, Grandma Hulim immediately hugged and kissed her grandson's forehead for so long. Nadia also immediately dropped off her two children who were still sitting on top of Fikri's gurney.


"My grandchildren... My granddaughter.." call Grandma Hulim down.


"Grandma where are you? Why don't you bring Fikri here? Fikri can never look at grandma in the village because papa and mama are busy" said Fikri while crying in his grandmother's arms.


While Fikri's parents who feel touted feel upset. Surely soon Fikri will complain about the actions of the two as long as the boy is in their care. Of course they don't want the cover all this time to be open from the little boy's mouth.


"Grandmother is still either in the city where we used to live. Now Fikri will continue to be near Grandma" said Grandma Hulim to calm her grandson.


It seems this Fikri does have its own fears if left by someone who is close to him. Both Fikri parents immediately approached the child and their mother as if everything that happened was a misunderstanding.


"What mother mean? You're gonna stay with us?" papa Fikri asked confused by his mother's words.


"Yes, I'll stay here forever. Wh why? Wanna protest?" ketus Grandma Halim who then release her embrace from the grandson.


Both of Fikri's parents stood clumsily near them. It seems that they do not praise Grandma Hulim if they will live together in this city. It could be that the plans they put together will fall apart because of Grandma Hulim. Moreover, Fikri is a valuable asset that could later complain everything to the grandmother to make everything chaotic.


"No, ma'am. We're happy that you want to stay here with us, but will you not miss your father? Dad's grave is far from here, surely later you will rarely visit him" alibi Papa Fikri.


Nadia, Arnold, and Alan were still there but stood some distance away from the family. However, they are watching the movements of Fikri's suspicious parents. Even his face looked insincere and wanted to protest about the whereabouts of Fikri's grandmother.


"Yes, let's say tamite tomatoes. Ungkin aca mantla taya ukun" accused Alan of confirming his brother's speech.


Hulim's grandmother was surprised by the words of the two little boys who were there. Even he just realized that there are not only family members. Hulim's grandmother looked directly at all the unknown people. While both of Fikri's parents had looked intently at the two little boys who had complained to their mother-in-law.


"That's it... Matana muscled here and there" said Alan with a sharp look back.


Hearing that, of course, Grandma Hulim looked directly at her daughter-in-law. Mama Fikri even immediately changed the look of her face to smile sweetly towards the mother-in-law.


"You better get out of this room. Besides, Fikri doesn't seem to need you guys, after all, who took care of them too" said Granny Hulim.


Feeling annoyed because it continues to be cornered eventually both Fikri's parents prefer to leave. Fikri saw both her parents leave with a sad look. Even Fikri thought if both parents were aware of his obligation to care for a sick child.

"I'm sorry grandma until she doesn't know if you're here because of the same focus Fikri. What are you called?" asked Grandma Hulim with her gentle smile.


"That's Alan. It's Anol bang, it's for Nadia" said Alan introduced everything.


Hulim's grandmother was so amazed by the courage of Alan who introduced himself. Even though children the age of Alan will usually be embarrassed by the presence of new people. Even then dared to corner his daughter-in-law.


"The one who helped Fikri was her husband Nadia's mother, Grandma. Om Andre his name, but he is working for help his wife and child to take care of Fikri" said Fikri explained.


Grandma Hulim nodded her head then hugged Nadia tightly while saying thanks. He was grateful that his grandson was surrounded by good people. He could not imagine the fate of his grandson if there were no good people to help.


"Grandmother, no eluk Alan uga?" tanya Alan looked at Grandma Hulim innocently.


Hulim's grandmother chuckled at Alan's question and then released her arms from Nadia. Hulim's grandmother immediately held Alan and kissed him repeatedly until the boy laughed.


"Grandma don't be too long carrying Alan, it could be his back gout you know" Arnold warned.


"Although it is old, but the body of the grandmother is still strong, you know if for even a sling Fikri" joked Grandma Hulim.


Nadia could only smile at the babbling of her son with Grandma Hulim. They even talked as if they had known him for a long time. Fikri also huddled until the conversation became more exciting.
