Talking to grandchild

Darin Amani (3 months) Email address: darinamani@pasirgudang.yahoo.com


"Good morning, dear. How are you this morning...look so happy...smiling 'sokmo' ( always). Where's  your dad?....pardon, something block tokpa's hearing. Say it again. Oh no...but you still manage to smile, good girl".
Part of my morning talk to little Darin. Both her parents are not at home. Dad is in the dock yard, doing testing on some materials whether they are good or defective. Mummy is in the school teaching English. So somebody got to be nearer to Darin to be her close friend. My wife is ever ready to do that. And I, no exception.
No problem. Both of us like to take that job. And this is not the first time. We did it twice. First in Ampang and followed by Putra Jaya stint. And we are happy to see our grandchildren grow, grow and growing whilst we are maturing.....and we realise that one day we , my grandchild, my son and daughters , in-laws , wife and myself  will part away. So while we are still here,   why not take the most of our time to be close and together.
"Thank you Darin for your smile", nenek and tokpa love you.

Hahahahahaha....are these two siblings so focused on something? Watching tv...Upin and Ipin? Watching tv....yes but not Upin and Ipin. No,definitely not. They look so sad.....and sort of asking why did the bully big man did to his child...dragging his child into a dark room..for what? No, no that is too much of a father. I don't like to be in the dark room....so scary, said Naqib. What about you adik, Fatih? I am not scared but hate darkness. Ok change other channel....which one you prefer, Fatih? Asked Naqib. I would prefer Upin and Ipin but I forgot the channel number. So do I, said Naqib.
In that case let's call tokpa....what is his number? 
0123456789.
Are you sure Fatih?
Ring  ring,, ring..tokpa calling. let me talk first.
Assalamualaikum tokpa, Naqib here. Would you tell us Upin and Ipin number, I mean channel number.
Channel 811? No that is for sport. Please tokpa, we are watching very boring program now, scary.Fatih does not like it..Tut ..tut... tut .. line cut off. Oh no no no. let's switch off tv....better go to sleep.

How are you little boy, fael.......Good? Ok.  How about you big bro yousef?.....So, so?
Never mind....
Tokpa have a story and nenek also has one. Tonight, at bed time one of us will tell you that story but only one story per night. So both of you got to choose...tokpa's story or nenek's. Nenek's story is about the big bad ugly monster fighting against the fiercest lion. The story is so frightening one....only brave kids like both of you like it. Tokpa's is different...so special. It is about a boy....10 months boy like fael who is so timid but intelligent, who has the habit of looking down when some body, especially old man like tokpa look straight at him, he refuses to meet the eyes.....and the rest tokpa will tell you during bed time,
The phone off.....no line.
