Conversations took place in the dining room yesterday. While munching her food, Kak Ngah suddenly opens her mouth and says;
"Ibu, kita nak adik baru lah" selamba je cakap.
"Hah! Kenapa? Itu si Buny (his affectionate name pronounced as boo nee) tuh apa? " I answered slightly surprised.
"Kita tak nak dia. Kita tak suka dia. Buny jahat" she said without hesitation.
"Kenapa? Apa adik buat kat Kak Ngah sampai Kak Ngah tak suka dia?" bertanya aku dengan penuh berhemah.
"Sebab dia suka conteng dinding rumah kita. Dia koyakkan kita punya buku. Pastu dia suka ambik pensil box kita. Pastu dia ambik pensel kita pastu dia conteng dinding. Kita tak suka lah...pot pet pot pet" macam bertih jagung jer mulut Kak Ngah mengomel.
Oh, I get the picture now.
"Ingat senang ke nak buat adik baru. Banyak kerja kena buat tau" I cheekily answered.
"Alah, apa susah. Ibu cium-cium ayah pastu peluk-peluk mesti dapat baby baru" she retorted.
I was taken aback.
"Err, mana Kak Ngah tahu pasal benda-benda nih?" horrified, I tried to squeeze some details from her.
"Ibu yg cakap! Arituh kita tanya Buny datang dari mana ibu yg cakap macam tuh. Takkan ibu tak ingat.." she replied confidently.
Whoops!
"Ohh gitu ya....pasal adik baru tu ibu kena bincang dengan ayah dulu yek tapi buat masa ni pakai jer adik yg ada sekarang ok. Kak Ngah masa baya Buny pon camtuh gak. Tapi takde pon ibu kata nak anak baru ok? Lain kali kalo tak nak adik conteng buku conteng dinding tolong simpan buku dan pensil box dlm beg. Jangan letak merata-rata faham?
"Paham ibu..." a weak reply from Kak Ngah.
And with that answer from moi, Kak Ngah retreats and continues eating her lunch quietly and not a single word about adik baru pops out after that.
