The Babysitter Belongs to the Duda
Adu Debate

"Hey... What are you guys debating?" nara asked as she pursed her lips.

Anara was so upset to see her two sisters who had been arguing with each other to defend themselves. Surely Anara who felt not involved at all upset even felt like she wanted to pull out the ears of her two sisters. While Abel who was basically quiet also chose to quietly observe. The most important thing for him was that his sisters did not fight.

"Kak Nala ndak ucah itut campul. Ebih aik ita ikin es campul dalipada meddles ulusan olanglain" said Alan wisely.

Anara was so anxious about Alan's words that he was like an adult. Arnold used to be so, but over time it turns out that the boy who still looks puffed up turns a little quiet. Arnold prioritizes his actions rather than arguing with relatives or others.

Haha...

Anara who could not bear the anxiety of the sister then tickled Alan until a crisp laugh came from the lips of the boy. Even Arnold and Abel who saw it also laughed because Alan laughed while showing a narcissistic pose like when going to the photo.

"I'm happy to see children living in harmony and having such an intelligent brain. Hopefully our next life will be like this, baby" said Andre Lirih while hugging his wife from behind.

Andre who just returned from the office directly to his son's room which turned out there was also Nadia who was standing in front of the door. Finally, the two chose to see the interaction of their children who had grown up from behind the door gap. It feels like their lives are so perfect because their children always live in harmony and peace. Nadia always guaranteed her husband's speech which was a good do'a for her second family.

"grandmother... Mother said, grandma wants Arnold a gift?" arnold asked with a curious look.

Even now Mama Anisa who was preparing food for her family dinner was so shocked by the sound of Arnold's scream. Especially with the words of his grandson who asked for the gift. It seems Nadia told the story of the incident in the family room earlier to the granddaughter.

"No, grandma does not have money to love you gifts" said Mama Anisa Jahil.

Hearing the reply from the grandmother, Arnold pursed his lips in annoyance. Then he immediately sat on the dining chair with his grandfather who was drinking coffee there. Arnold had a brilliant idea after seeing his grandfather in front of him. But from earlier his grandfather just silently observed the debate of his wife and granddaughter.

"Stttt... Grandpa.." call Arnold in a whisper.

Papa Reza who heard a whisper from beside him immediately turned his face then looked at his grandson who had displayed his mainstay ignorant grin. Papa Reza believes that his grandson will make his wife upset instead of playing. Papa Reza raised both eyebrows in a sign of asking the grandson.

"Don't give grandma money to shop again. Block all the ATMs, let me know the problem was grandma said she had no money. Means grandma doesn't appreciate what Grandpa does every month that gives her money" Arnold said with a flickering of his eyes repeatedly.

"What did you say, mbul? You want to provoke your grandfather so you don't give me any more monthly money, do you?" mama Anisa said while glaring sharply.

"Whose provocation is it, Grandma? Kan Arnold just said the fact that grandma does not appreciate the gift of grandfather every month. The proof is that Grandma said she did not have money even though every month was given" Arnold said.

"Or not-don't grandma's money run out for jajanin brondong ya" he continued with ignorance.

Mama Anisa glared in disbelief at her grandson's words. Not even hesitant he pointed the rice barrel in front of him in front of Arnold's face so that the boy was afraid. But indeed expectations are not in accordance with reality, Arnold even like challenging him.

"If grandma is angry, it means Arnold's words are right" Arnold said as he stuck out his tongue.

Mama Anisa can no longer struggle with Arnold's scathing remarks. Mama Anisa was silent while lowering the rice pitcher in her hand while Papa Reza could only shake her head at the debate between her wife and granddaughter. Papa Reza even sometimes feels Arnold has a lot of brains to repay people who are julid to him. After all, Papa Reza only considers Arnold's speech as a joke.

"It's been... Stop your debate. Mama better finish the cooking later burnt if left debate here. Arnold also played there with your other brothers" said Papa Reza.

Mama Anisa immediately stepped out her legs in annoyance leaving her granddaughter and husband who were still sitting there. Arnold was still sitting there accompanying his grandfather even though he was just busy eating snacks on the table.

"Don't you play with the others?" papa Reza asked because he saw Arnold still sitting in his place.

"Arnold was lazy to play with a child's toy. Want to play a gun but the real one" said Arnold casually.

Papa Reza's eyes glared as if his eyeballs wanted to come out. He was already explained about the incident today by his wife, but still he was surprised by the request of his grandson. His heart was no longer safe to hear the words that were thrown from Arnold's tiny lips.

"Can't be a real gun toy, son. It can endanger others, if you really want to play with a real gun then it must be a police first or not supervised by someone who is an expert" said Papa Reza advising.

"Arnold does not want to be a police officer, he wants to be himself" said Arnold who then stepped down from his chair.

Even Arnold left the dining room leaving his grandfather looking in disbelief toward the grandson. He was left alone while trying to advise him that his behavior did not exceed the limit. Even sometimes the strange speech Arnold like this is what makes adults have to be extra accompanied by the boy.

It seemed like he had to talk to Nadia and Andre especially regarding the continuation of the little boy's school. If indeed he is still traumatized by school it would be better if Arnold to homeschool. This could also make them keep more eye on the extra Arnold. Now Papa Reza thinks more about his grandson because lately so often be alone or not instead join the adult conversation.
