Papa's alarm clock

-PLAK, pluk, tak, kelonteng, gubrak, brake. "Au!" Thump, thud!
Recently, strange noises have often been heard at Vanya's house. Precisely above Vanya's house. Like that afternoon, the strange sounds blared again. Uh, it's a good thing Vanya isn't home. If there is? Wow, your child will respond with even more exciting voices. For example, by throwing his study table or slamming his bunk bed. We know that Vanya is very sensitive to loud noises.
-This is actually the work of Papa, who has been busy dressing up the empty room in the attic of the house for the past few days. For several days, Papa didn't sleep in the same room with Mami anymore. Separate beds? No. Enemies? No. But Papi was just like that, he just wanted to fill the empty room in the attic, which was originally just for storage. What is clear is that poor rats were forced to flee. Because for the rats, instead of sleeping with Papa, it's better to find a new place! Hihihi.
For the sake of the empty room, Papi took the time to clean it up, paint it and decorate it. Like this afternoon...
Plak, pluk, tak, keloteng, brake. "Au!" No, bang!
Strange noises will continue to be heard until Papi feels satisfied with his new place. But why is the sound so loud? Actually, what Papa is currently doing is not just nailing the bed. But to make it seem fun, Papi deliberately threw whatever was there! Wow, no wonder his son took him down.
Eh, what's even more chaotic is that Papi actually furnished his room with all the furniture, most of which was saved from Vanya's room. Vanya was clearly hostile. Because it's not uncommon that when you get home from broadcasting, the next thing you know, the Miki Mos pillow has moved to the attic. Also fans, New Kids on the Block calendar, and more.
Eh, why is that strange? Why is Papi so sassy? Want to have your own room. Want to decorate it yourself? This is a strange symptom. Maybe if most other men of a certain age are experiencing their second puberty, Papi, according to Vanya, is even experiencing his second toddler.
I'm really annoyed. After all, how can you not be annoyed? Just imagine, apart from sabotaging the furniture to decorate his room, Papi also often entrusts Vanya with buying posters of Guns 'n Roses, Skid Row, Iwan Fals. Papi's goal is clear, to make his room look cool.
Meanwhile, Mami is a cool duck. Doi is even happy to sleep alone. When I sleep, Papa really likes to snore. And the sound is like a diesel engine. Annoying buzzing.
Now, after Papi's move, Mami can sleep in peace.
But will Papi's moving away make the relationship between the two parents less intimate? I don't think so. The thing is, yesterday evening Mami as usual provided Papi's favorite coffee with milk. Sitting alone while enjoying watching RCTI. And play tricks along with the guesses they make.
"Come on, what's the event after this?" asked Papa.
"Comedy movie!" Mami answered quickly.
"Wrong. The truth is it's a shampoo advertisement," answered Papi while smacking Mami's nutmeg. Yes, and so on. Until satisfied. Until the new bumps stopped and went into their respective rooms. Strange, right?
That was the case this afternoon too. When Vanya was busy practicing roller skating while dingkring (eh, don't you know dingkring? That's English for: drinking! Hehe), Papi promised to go for a run the next morning with Mami.
"Pi, the main thing is to wake Mami at five o'clock, okay? Just knock on the door, and someone will knock and reply. Eh, Mami means, Papi keeps knocking on the bedroom door, and then Mami will definitely wake up. OK?"
Papi nodded, while still engrossed in reading the evening paper.
The next morning, it turns out Papi forgot. Yes, Papi is indeed forgetful. But Papi didn't forget to run in the morning. At about five o'clock he woke up. Wear shoes. A little movement in the attic. Incidentally, Papi is quite aware of the Body in Motion movement which is broadcast by RCTI in the afternoon. After taking a deep breath, and being forgetful, instead of waking up Mami, who had been alerting me since yesterday afternoon, the man who now looked more coquettish actually went straight out. And jogging alone.
Next, Papi went around the complex, wearing Vanya's Hawaiian pants and a white T-shirt that said Megadeth! It was so nice to breathe in the morning air.
At exactly six o'clock Papi came back, he was already panting and sweating. At that time the house was still quiet. Vanya hasn't seen her brain yet. Mom too. There was only Bibik who was busy opening the windows of the house.
"Good morning, sir," Bibik said to Papi.
"Morning. Eh, haven't the others woken up yet?"
"Bellon, sir."
"Please make sweet tea, okay?"
"Use sugar, sir?"
"Nope!"
Papi then went straight to Mami's room and knocked, "Mi... wake up!"
Papi woke Mami up because he wanted to get clothes for copying from the cupboard in Mami's room. This morning Papa has a meeting at the office.
"Yes, wait a moment," came Mami's sleepy voice from inside. Then there was a thud-thud sound. Mami is busy putting on her training which is already limited. So he fell and fell.
"Hurry up, Mi. You'll be late, right?" said Papi who was waiting on the sofa. Really tired, he just jogged around the complex in the morning. Previously, Papi rarely ran. Once, that was when he was chased by a neighbor's dog because he thought he was trying to steal a mango. So for sure this time, Papi will be weak be'eng. Even though the running event is half mixed with walking.
A few minutes later, Mami's bedroom door opened. Mami appears with white training for sports. But the bottom is replaced with a skirt that sports a mini skirt and is full of lace.
"After all, the trousers don't fit. It's okay to wear a skirt, isn't it, Pi?"
Papi turned and nodded slowly. Understandably tired.
"Come on, Pi, let's get straight to it," said Mami as she took the starting position.
Dad was surprised. "Hey, where are you going, Mommy?"
"Pretending to be a pilon. You said you wanted to run in the morning?"
Hihihi. Dad laughed. And wandered nonchalantly into the room.
"Dad woke Mami up just to get some coffee. Dad already ran in the morning."
Mum was shocked. Put your hands on your hips and put on an annoyed face. "DADDY WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?"
-"Sari-sori..."
"Mom thought I was knocking on the door to wake up for a morning run. Mami was already in a hurry to copy it. Used training until it all bounced around!" Mami was hysterical as she dropped her butt on the sofa. He protested heavily.
"Sorry, Papa forgot to wake me up. But if Mami wants to run, then run there... while she's still enthusiastic!"
"It's clear. Shame! Then Mami will be thought to be a stray pom-pom girl, again," said Mami curtly.
"Not pom-pom girl, Mi."
"What?"
"Ondel-ondel! Hihihi."
Mami is getting tighter. I ran away and wasn't built, I was criticized by ondel-ondel again. Mami is clearly keki, because they really look alike! Haha...
"Yesterday Dad promised to wake me up...," said Mami annoyed, glancing at the sunlight that was starting to peek through the curtains.
Meanwhile, Bibik, who was ready with her sweet tea without sugar, went straight back to the kitchen. He was afraid of being sprayed by Mami. And instead of wasting it, Bibik drank the tea Papi ordered earlier.
And Vanya, who was still interested in snoring, was forced to wake up when she heard the noise.
-Vanya glanced at her wall clock. Wow, almost half past seven. Luckily I wasn't late. This means Vanya still has a little time to fuss in bed.
"Nice...," sighed Vanya.
Suddenly Bibik's face went blank. "How does it feel, Miss?"
"Obviously it's better. Hihihi," said Vanya, imitating an advertisement.
If that noise could be there every morning, of course Vanya could also be struggling like this every day...
Vanya rushed to the bathroom to splash around. At first, Vanya just wanted to take a cowboy shower, but she couldn't bear to remember that she didn't take a shower yesterday. Finally, Vanya decided to take a shower even though it was bitterly cold this morning. Rubbing soap all over his body.
After showering and changing neatly, Vanya immediately sat at the dining table. Eating a sandwich while doing chemistry. He had a test during the first period. And since last night it's been really hard for chemical formulas to enter the brain.
"Pi, hurry up, bro!" Vanya finally said as she put the chemistry book into her bag. Vanya really asked to be taken to school. The problem is that even on the street, in the middle of traffic jams, he still has time to try out the formula again. Who knows, maybe some of these complicated formulas might be caught in pieces.
Meanwhile, Mami still looks annoyed.
Still showing a face as wrinkled as arumanis, Mami was indeed protesting. He didn't want to tie Papa's tie like usual. Mami still hasn't taken off her sports clothes. And as an outlet, he jogged around the living room.
Vanya at that time was already starting to curl. Waiting for Papi who never appeared from the room. Even though it was almost seven o'clock. Even though Papi's VW Combi has been heating up since dawn.
Sigh! Finally Vanya couldn't stand it either.
"Mi, where's Papa?" Vanya asked nervously.
"I don't know. In the room, maybe!" Mami answered without stopping her activities on the floor.
"Look, Mi, have you finished getting dressed? Didn't Papa know? It's school start time soon. Vanya could be late!"
Vanya started grumbling.
Mami is no less fierce. While shaking her hips, Mami repelled Vanya's orders. "That's delicious! Just see for yourself, there!"
-"Oh, isn't Vanya studying chemistry?" Vanya took out her notes again. "Mommy will help you first, grandpa. You said Vanya has to improve her grades?"
Mami stopped her gymnastics activities. Then peeked into the room. Maybe Papa is having trouble wearing a tie? Feel it, so don't mess with Mami.
But Mami was shocked when she saw Papi in the room. You know, Papi is fast asleep in bed. Complete with a tie around his neck, wearing an office shirt and work files lying on the dressing table.
"What's the matter with Papa? Why are you even late? Oh, Vanya is already angry!" Mami screamed, annoyed.
Dad was shocked. Get up straight away. Sat for a moment on the edge of the bed, rubbing his eyes.
"What's wrong, Mi?" asked stupid Papi.
"What's wrong? Papa has to go to the office. Why are you sleeping instead? Vanya has also asked to be taken to school. So, if you don't usually run, don't be so reckless and go for a run in the morning. If you're sleepy at the office, what will you do?"
Then Mami left the room with her hands on her hips. Called Vanya who was tickling her ears on the sofa.
-"Vanya, look at your father. No wonder he's not coming out, man, he's fallen asleep again!" Mami screamed in annoyance.
Vanya giggled at Mami's behavior. Meanwhile, Papi hurriedly grabbed office papers for the meeting later. Then grabbed the bag that was buried under the file.
"Come onVanya. Go!" invite Papi as soon as you leave the room.
Vanya immediately moved away with an amused smile.
Mami could only shake her head.
***
-On the way, Vanya threw away the chicken feather that she had been using to pick at her ears. Then go back to trying to deal with the complicated chemical rum-us-rum-s. But it's also hard to learn in the car. Where there is no air conditioning, where the roads are congested. So it's hot and noisy. Other vehicles racing towards each other honked their horns.
Vanya could only stare in front of her chemistry book. Not one thing he managed to memorize.
The difference with Papi, Papi actually takes advantage of the traffic jam by sleeping with the chickens. His eyes already looked heavy. Papi's head likes to nod occasionally. Luckily Vanya's loud voice was able to make Papi's sleepiness disappear.
"Pi, give me some pocket money, bro. Vanya has fallen into poverty again, here!" Vanya asked suddenly.
Dad was confused.
"WhatVanya?"
"Asking for money for snacks!" Vanya answered loudly in Papi's ear.
"Just take it in Papa's bag in the back seat. But don't listen too loud, Papa," said Papa.
Vanya immediately rummaged through the back seat. Looking for a Papi bag made from crocodile skin. But I couldn't find it.
"Which bag, Pi?" Vanya finally lost her patience.
"Yes, that one over there. Papi's bag. Mami's bag?"
"But what was there was Mami's bag, Pi."
"Ah, really?" Papa was a bit surprised.
"It's?" Vanya turned around, carrying the bag she had picked up from the back seat. "Just look at what's inside, it's just cosmetics!" said Vanya as she shoved the bag into Papi's mind. Until Papi was lined up to the back.
Dad was shocked. Ah, this really is Mami's bag. It contains lipstick, powder, mascara, handkerchief, body lotion, and what is that...? Toothpick!'So where's Papi's bag?
"Wow, Papi must have taken it wrong," said Papi, realizing his mistake.
"How could you take it so wrong, Pi?" Vanya asked, throwing Mami's bag into the back seat.
"This is because Dad was in a hurry. Just now when Dad had finished reading the work files, Dad put the files on top of Mami's bag. So when he left, Mami took his bag with him."
"So, what?" Vanya started to look worried.
"Yes, Papi had to go home first to get the bag."
Vanya was immediately shocked.
"Ha? Home?" Vanya asked nervously.
"Yeah, why?"
"Vanya, you might be late, Pi. There's a chemistry test in the first hour."
"Then you can just take a taxi "
"Well, where's the money?"
"Just use your money first. Later, Dad. eh, Mommy, change!"
"It's said that Vanya has fallen into poverty. Where does Vanya get the money from?" said Vanya sullenly.
"But Papi doesn't have any money right now. Papi's money is all put in his bag. That's why he has to go home first to get it," Papi also started to panic.
"Oh, Papi, there's no need to go all the way home. Just take Vanya to school first. So Vanya doesn't have to eat snacks!"
"Wow, I can'tVanya. Because in Papi's bag there are important files for Papi's meeting this morning."
"Oh, what about Papa?" Vanya scoffed. I was also annoyed to see that Papi was still adamant. Even though Papi was actually panicking. Without realizing it, Papi reached into his pocket, eh, it turned out there was a hundred silver coins.
"Well, what a coincidence, there's hundreds of dollars lying around, used as change to buy ear buds. If that's the case, you can just take the bus and let Papi go home."
Papi thrust the hundred pieces of metal into Vanya's mind. Vanya received the money and immediately threw it into the back seat.
"Ha?" Papa gaped. "Why did you throw it awayVanya?"
"If you take the bus, it's the same as lying. There's no waiting, there's no traffic jam. You'll be late at school."
"So what do you want Vanya to do?"
"Let's just go home!" Vanya answered curtly.
"You know? You want to skip class?"
"Whatever. Anyway, Vanya doesn't want to go to school today. It's no use not being able to take the test," Vanya sulked. Papa was confused. But Vanya didn't want to be persuaded anymore. Finally, Papi was forced to take Vanya home. Unfortunately, when he got home, Mami immediately greeted him with a scolding.
"What else is there? Why are you coming back again?" Mami shouted fiercely.
"Vanya is sulking and doesn't want to go to schoVanya," answered Papi briefly.
"What? Don't want to go to school?" Mami screamed in surprise.
"After all, Papi is the one causing trouble. Vanya wants to be dropped off on the street. He doesn't want to take Vanya to school. Just imagine, Mi," explained Vanya, half making up a fictional story.
Mami just went crazy.
"0, so that's how it is, huh?" Mami said sarcastically. "No wonder Vanya doesn't want to go to school. If Vanya doesn't go to class, watch out, Pi!" Mami threatened.
Dad looked away. Confused about what to do. I can't even deny it. After that, the position was already stuck. In the end, Papi just kept quiet. Meanwhile, Mami was still continuously snorting.
"That's why you don't need to jog in the morning. As a result, everything becomes chaotic like this. It's really annoying, Papi!" ,
Papi swallowed the saliva that was stuck in his throat. Papa really feels bad.
On the way to the office, Papi decided to atone for his sins. Papi wants to buy an alarm whose ringing can wake Papi up the next morning at six in the morning. And Papa promised not to be late again to accompany Vanya to school. It's not nice. As a father, he has to be responsible too.
***
At the clock shop, Papi chooses a suitable alarm clock. After searching hard, Papi finally found an alarm clock that interested him. A round alarm clock with a picture of a chicken on it. The chicken's head can peck according to the movement of the second hand. The important thing is that the clock can ring very loudly to wake Papi up every morning.
At home, Papi immediately put the alarm in his emergency room. Papa didn't tell Mami about the new thing. It's not that Papi wants to make a splash, but since yesterday's incident, Mami always has a wrinkled face when she meets Papi. Papi didn't protest, the only thing that made Papi annoyed was that Mami didn't take care of Papi's needs. Until Papi was forced to cook salted fish himself. Auntie has also been threatened by Mami not to provide help.
But Papi is a steadfast person. Papi thought, just let them get angry. Tomorrow it will be better again. Especially if Papa is ready early tomorrow morning in an office shirt, and wakes Vanya up to go to school. Papi also prepared his shirt in the attic room.
***
The next morning, as soon as Papi's new alarm rang at exactly six o'clock, Papi hurriedly jumped out of bed. Then take a shower, put on office clothes, and be ready
knocked on Mami's room. Last night Vanya happened to sleep in Mami's room too.
"Mi, wake up, Mi. Vanya, wake upVanya. Do you want to go to schoVanya, or not?" said Papi while knocking loudly on the room.
Mami and Vanya wake up. Squatted for a while on the edge of the bed, then rushed towards the door.
"What's wrong with waking people up from sleep?" Mami asked fiercely when she saw Papi behind the door, already neatly wearing a tie and briefcase.
-Papa grinned.
"Ng... anu, Mi. Pan wants to wake up the school team. Also, Mami wants to go for a jog again like yesterday. "
"You senile bastard!" Mami sprayed while banging on the door.
"Why, what's wrong? Mi? How come you suddenly get angry," Papi was shocked to death.
"What do you want, Papa? Who told you to wake Mami? Who told you to wake Vanya up for school? It's Sunday. Go!"
Papi just stared at the door. Confused about what to do....
