At the Seven Eleven ALif asked me to buy him a toy, a Gekired robot hand. Sure I said no because he has many toys at home and we have no space anymore to keep the new one. Also I said him if he is now 4 years old, time to start saving the money. Alif then asked, money for what? toys or game or milk or chips or the school fee ? I answered it all except the toys and the game hehe. I also answered if the money could be saved to buy the flight ticket to fly to grandma`s house in Bandung. For a moment ALif didn’t ask anymore. He only saw the toy. A second later he said: Mom, Alif ga mau tangan gekired lagi, tapi kita sekarang ke rumah nenek di Bandung ya? (Mom, ALif don’t want anymore the toy, but we re going to grandma`s house in Bandung right now ok?)
Sure I have to answer it soon because Alif would never stop to ask until he get the desired answer! I said, not now Alif, we have to wait Ayah to fly to Bandung. Bandung is so far far away from here. Of course it was not the answer that he want, so all the way home, alif was crying and asking to fly to grandma`s house in Bandung. Last night before he went to bed, he asked it again and again. This morning, soon after he wake up, he asked it again and again. oh no, until when?
Yesterday I called the grandma, Alif had a little conversation too with the grandma, but it didn’t change his mind to fly to Bandung. oh boy!
