The Babysitter Belongs to the Duda
Demeaned


Alan and Fikri turned their eyes towards someone who seemed to be talking to them. The two stared at the waiter in his SPG-typical raincoat with a strange look. They just look and want to make sure whether the item is suitable or not but a voice like degrading turns out to be obtained.


"What's up, mbak?" ask Fikri politely.


"What are you guys doing here? That expensive bag, you know, later his bag was salivated by his sister who was still wearing diapers was going to be damaged" said the waiter.


It is true that near Alan's lips there was saliva because it was after eating and drinking. This according to them is reasonable again the age of Alan is still below 2 years. Finally Fikri took the tissue in his pants pocket and wiped the cheeks and the area around Alan's lips. After it was confirmed clean and dry, Alan wanted to see it immediately because he thought the bag was very interesting.


"Eits... Don't hold it" he jolted.


Fikri closed his eyes as he again had to get a snatch from the servant. While Alan was confused because he saw Fikri who was silent while clenching both hands. Though the intention of Alan will buy the bag and his face is clean as well but still can not hold it.


"Why cih? Alan tu au eli bag ni akana before delicately eli in tek ulu" exclaimed Alan did not accept because since it was held-hold continuously.


The servant looked at Alan with a judging look. He looked at Alan's appearance as well as Fikri from top to bottom alternately. Indeed, they do not use branded clothes like other businessmen's children because for their families it is important to be comfortable.


This certainly makes Fikri angry because he felt humbled by the servant in front of him. Moreover, the servant's behavior that rewinded his steps because Alan who seemed to speak with saliva. Alan looked cynically at the waiter and was lucky there was not a crowded position of visitors.


"Don't dream, deck. Mending money to buy diapers instead of buying bags" led by the waiter.


Alan was upset that he felt mocked by the waiter because he was still using diapers. Even though wearing and buying diapers is also not the business of the waiter but did not expect if it would be a trick of people he did not know. Alan looked around the whole store, but he didn't see his grandmother and the others. This store is indeed spacious so even though they are in one room they may not see someone who is known if separated.


"Don't bully my sister. We are here with our parents and brothers and intend to buy some bags. But the service here is not good. Let's find grandma and mother, let's not buy it here" invite Fikri then pull Alan's hand.


Alan who was pulled followed his brother immediately but before leaving he raised his cynical gaze towards the servant. The waiter was indifferent to Fikri and Alan's response to thinking that they were just children who had lost their way in. The waiter even directly checked the bag that was wanted to be held by Alan to make sure that the object was not damaged.

"Mr, ndak ucah adi eli bag dicini. Yo repeat" cried Alan with his upset face.


"Lho... He said he wanted to buy a bag, where was the bag? Let all the grandmothers pay" said Mama Anisa astonished.


"Ndak. Tu uga ndak ucah adi eli dicini, his ogang ahat. Au egang and aja ndak by huaaaaa" exclaimed Alan who ended up crying hysterically.


Alan had harbored his frustration since then so that when everyone asked about the incident made him cry immediately. This made Mama Anisa, Granny Hulim, and Nadia panic. Nadia was immediately carrying Alan who was still crying even though he had been calmed by his mother.


"Fikri, what happened to Alan?" asked Grandma Hulim curiously.


"So Alan wanted to check the bag he wanted to buy. Haven't had time to check it out eh same server directly reprimanded can't hold it. The reason is afraid that later the bag is damaged due to drool dripping on Alan's lips. Fikri has been clean using tisue but still should not stiff because of fear of not being able to pay. Ask to buy diapers instead of bags" said Fikri with teary eyes.


Actually, he was eager to defend Alan so as not to continue to be scolded by the servant, but he saw that the woman's legs were ready to kick him. It was like an order so that he did not do something or fight, finally Fikri chose silence and then took Alan away. He did not want if later when fighting would even make Alan hurt.


Everyone who heard it certainly widened their eyes. Even the other waiters in the shop were also shocked by the statement from Fikri. Even there is the owner of the shop as well who immediately ketar-ketir because Granny Hulim and Mama Anisa are loyal customers. If until the store has a problem with both people there will certainly have an impact on the reputation of the place.


"Maybe this is a misunderstanding. Let me call the waiter who was going to serve them to explain" the shopkeeper interrupted in a panic.


"My brother and sister can't lie. This is not a misunderstanding like it but indeed the service here is not good. How can we check the CCTV in this store to prove it because the human mouth can lie" Arnold said firmly.


Mama Anisa is upset that her granddaughter is treated like this just out of fear that her saliva will drip. Nadia had already taken Alan out of the store as well as Fikri and Nilam. Arnold wants to join Grandma Hulim and Mama Anisa in solving this problem.


"Don't be pretentious" the shopkeeper jolted suddenly.


Of course this made them surprised by that high-pitched jolt. Even the shopkeeper immediately shut his mouth, it seemed like he was letting go of doing this because he felt cornered. Mama Anisa and Grandma Hulim stared intently at the owner of the store and both of them immediately shook their waists.


"Arnold, you get out of the store first. Let this be a grandmother's business" said Mama Anisa.


Arnold shook his head. With this incident he wants to be able to cure his trauma by not fearing the clash or related to violence. To be able to defend his brother and family, he must be brave to fight his trauma and fear.
