The Diary Game 13 Jun 2021: Home Sweet Home Quality Time [50% steem.amal]

Being away from home is something I regularly do for working purposes, once a week I back home to play with my kiddos.

Yesterday, Sunday 13 Jun, I arrive home at about 3:30 AM, no one awake yet, I knocked on the door to wake up my wife, I did not have the spare key because I went away for several days. I went directly to the bedroom for resting my tired body and mind. Take no time for me to be in the other world, the dream.

Woke up almost 8 in the morning because my little daughter Ahya asked me to play with her when she knew I am home. I refuse at once and keep my eyes close tightly. She did not give up easily, another trick she played made me completely woke up; dad I made you a cup of wine arabica coffee. I knew she can make it with the help of her mom.

But, that is the trick, because she needs me to play with her while she is coloring her drawing book. It okay actually, because she needs me after a full week away from home. As she started to start coloring her book, another cute little angle has already wake up too, and no doubt that she attracts me to move my laptop to the bedroom again. I put the laptop on the bed and started to accompany Fathiya (my youngest daughter). Actually, I need to finalize 2 field progress report before lunchtime and submit it to the Jakarta office. And another important thing is monitoring the mountain expedition team while they were on the way back from the top after 11 days deep in the jungle.

Quality time and discussing crypto currency LOL

Fathiya actually needs someone to stay with her, otherwise, she would cry louder and louder calling someone to be there playing with her while her mom was busy with kitchen things. I have no holiday, and I have been busy with various thing over the weekend.

Almost mid day when the notification from the Abong-abong expedition team arrived, they were safe and sound and proceeding to the nearest village after 14 days expedition, then I as the leader of SAR and Tracking division officially close the whole operation and the whole team could relax and stay at ease. I recheck the topographic map and keep it in the achieving folder as the operation document.

I got myself ready to go the coffee shop for another work even on Sunday, sttt I am not working at the coffee shop but the coffee shop is my field office since August 2020. But, before going to the coffee shop I check Fathiya who was paying in the porch with her sister Ahya, I took her photo and then starting my bike heading to coffee shop.

Arriving the coffee shop, I found that the place was little bit empty and that is the ideal place to work. A cup of coffee and a plate of timphan (Traditional Acehnese Cake) serve right in front of me since the waiter of the coffee shop really understand my taste. I don't need to tell him what I would like to order because the coffee shop is the place I sit the most when I need to find some space to relax and doing a few thing at the same time. I worked in the coffee shop to finalize a few things for 3 hours before going back home for lunch and taking a nap.

At the evening my daughter Ahya woke me up again for the promise that this evening I will walk with her and her sister to the rice field cafe for relax and having quality time together, she told me her school activities, her friends and what she like to do the next Monday morning in the school after showing her teacher the coloring book she had finished in the morning. We sit there and enjoying the coconut and some of fresh friend banana before we went home at 18:00.

We arrive home almost dusk completely fallen, I complain came from my older daughter for not including her in the short tour together that evening LOL. She is 13 years old now, and most of her time is helping her mom for cooking and doing her hobbies (cooking, writing and reading book). I checked on Fathiya bedroom to see her while sleeping. She is so cute while sucking her thumb while sleeping without realizing me taking her picture.

I clean myself before having dinner together with my mom, my wife and kiddos while talking about buying a new motor bike, I agree to buy a new motor bike because when I am away from home, at least my wife could transport our kids to the school and pick them back home. That is something I would do when I have enough saving, or at least a good condition second hand motorbike.

Okay, that was my day. Nothing special and look so normal, before I go for another working trip again.

Much love and regards
