Chapter 17 Mami's Punishment
That MORNING, Vladd's mother and father were still fast asleep. Suddenly the phone in their room rang. Papa immediately covered his ears with a pillow. His mother had to answer the phone with her eyes closed.
"Hello? Yes, I'm Vladd's mother," Smirnov's voice was hoarse. Suddenly she shouted while glaring, "WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? HOW?" Eraisuli felt disturbed and curious about Smirnov's screams. He opened the pillow. Meanwhile, Tara Smirnov was still talking to the caller on the other end. Smirnov acted like a schoolboy who was reprimanded by his teacher because he was caught cheating. Only the words came out of his mouth: "Yes, sir. Okay sir. Certainly, sir. Thank you, sir." After answering the phone, Smirnov grumbled. He said it was Mr. Lontoh who called earlier. Perry's father, Vladd's classmate. He was angry because he didn't accept that his son had been punched blue by Vladd.
Vladd punches Perry until he's blue? What's clear is that it's impossible. Perry's cut and knit are similar to Ade Rai. Are you Vladd? Looks like Bart Simpson. But Perry's father himself said that Perry was punched by Vladd. Hey, wait a minute! It wasn't Mr Lontoh who called Smirnov. That's Perry himself! Perry deliberately changed his voice so that it resembled a father's voice. And as a result, the trick was a success!
Perry and James gimme five while giggling.
Meanwhile Smirnov got really annoyed. His drowsiness disappeared. He immediately got out of bed. Rushed to Vladd's room. Eraisuli indifferently continued his interrupted sleep. Still in his nightgown and hair full of rollers, Smirnov knocked excitedly on Vladd's bedroom door, "Vladd! Vladdvanio! Open the door, Vladd! Mami isn't playing around! Quick, open the door! If you don't, Mami break it in!"
Smirnov paused, waiting for Vladd's reaction. When there was no response from inside, Smirnov took steps to break in. When she opened the door, the hem of her nightgown caught on the door. The dress was torn. Meanwhile, the door to Vladd's room remained tightly closed.
Mirna held the torn part of her dress and screamed hysterically, shouting out the names of all the people in the house. Not long after, Eraisuli, Maryati, and their gang (Zuleha, Narsakip, Lukijo, Johan) came rushing in. Because Maryati was too enthusiastic, she slipped,
fall down. Lukijo, Narsakip, Johan, and Zuleha also fell.
Just a series of collisions.
"What else is there, Mi? I'm already hysterical in the morning. Can't you wait a little longer for lunch?" complained Eraisuli irritably.
But Smirnov looked even more annoyed. And showed Eraisuli the torn part of her dress. "This is all because of Vladd, Pi! Look, this cashmere silk dress is torn. So you can't wear it anymore!"
"I'll do it, ma'am!" said Maryati happily. This joke was immediately responded to by a unified response from Maryati's colleagues, fellow students at Vladd's house.
Meanwhile in his room Vladd woke up. He began to be disturbed by the commotion caused by Mirna's screams combined with the roar of the alarm. With half-closed eyes, Vladd reached for the door remote on the small table beside his bed. Vladd pressed the unlock button. The alarm sound stops. And the door slowly opened automatically. Vladd then continued sleeping.
"Did you know? Papa's son is really a troublemaker! Yesterday he punched Perry's eyes until they turned blue. Previously, he made a mess of our dinner. And now, Mami's dress was torn because he didn't want to open the door!"
Eraisuli and all the orblak gawked in unison. They stared at the door to Vladd's room which was wide open.
"Mommy, look at it first, then grumble!" Eraisuli said calmly. Smirnov turned his head and was stunned. Not long after, he immediately stormed into Vladd's room followed by Eraisuli. Smirnov woke Vladd fiercely.
"Wake up, lazy head! You are punished today, Mami! The punishment is, hmm... accompanying Mami. You have to be willing to take Mami anywhere. You can't protest. And there are no questions. Right now you take a shower and don't have to eat breakfast ! How dare you and a weak child, Perry!" Of course, Vladd was stunned, his mother said that Perry was a weak child. But his mother didn't give any further explanation. Smirnov immediately returned
right out of the room. Eraisuli followed Smirnov again after whispering to Vladd. He said Vladd was great. It was clear that Vladd was getting more and more confused. Even though he didn't really understand why he was being punished for carrying his mother, Vladd still obeyed. Go all day with Smirnov. Coincidentally today is Sunday.
The first event of the day was a visit to Smirnov's regular salon. In the truly luxurious salon, Mirna was the only visitor. He was surrounded by a number of salon employees. Someone is doing her hair. Put on her make-up. Massaging his back. Caring for his fingernails and toenails. Anyway, the atmosphere was really excited.
Vladd, who was too tired, left. Suddenly Smirnov screamed for him. "Vladd! Tell Johan, fill up with gas first. Mami doesn't want him to stop at the gas station later. Don't forget."
Vladd agreed. After only a few steps, Smirnov's screams were heard again. "Oh yes, tell Johan to have breakfast first. If he catches a cold, Mami will be the one in trouble!"
"Why bother? Johan was attacked by ammonia gas, right?" said Vladd giggling as he took another step. Smirnov shouted again excitedly, "You also have breakfast, Vladd. But not junk food, roadside fast food. It could give you diarrhea. Don't have cold ones either. Your stomach can't stand it. Don't..."
Before Smirnov finished his sentence, Vladd couldn't take it anymore. He remoted at his mother, "Mom, shut up!"
Suddenly Smirnov's voice disappeared. He screamed but his voice couldn't be heard. Vladd giggled mischievously. Because he was giggling, he didn't see the road and hit the salon window. Vladd suddenly felt dizzy. The whole salon burst into laughter. Vladd grinned embarrassedly. He immediately realized that his mother had cheated on him. Vladd quickly apologized then remoted Smirnov so he was back to normal.
Smirnov is happy to have his voice back. He promised to treat the salon employees to delicious chicken noodles across from the salon. As soon as they heard this promise, all the salon employees joined in
scatter out. Really excited because someone wants to treat me.
Smirnov was left in limbo.
This afternoon Smirnov chaired a meeting in the meeting room of a pan factory. Smirnov spoke passionately. Meanwhile the mothers who were listening sat there nodding off. Vladd, who was sitting in the back corner, was already fast asleep.
Coffee break arrives. The mothers suddenly felt refreshed. They moved towards where the dishes were served. The dining table was close to where Vladd was sleeping. A passing mother poked Vladd's cheek, annoyed.
"Mrs. Mirna's child is cute, isn't she?"
The other mothers were also excited. Some even hold their hair
Vladd stood up. Finally, the group of pranksters gathered around
Vladd. They were excited about pulling hair, poking cheeks, pinching, even
hit Vladd's head. In the crowd of mothers with difficulty
Vladd pressed the remote button. Not long after that Vladd
bounced high and then fell
right in the lap of a mother who is enjoying hot coffee. Coffee spilled onto Vladd's face. Vladd screamed loudly. The mother screamed, shocked. After returning from the meeting, in the car Vladd looked haggard and sad. Meanwhile, Smirnov is still cheerful.
"Mi, let's go home, okay? Vladd is tired..." said Vladd wearily.
Smirnov smiled in amusement. "Going home? This afternoon? Aren't you embarrassed by being laughed at by your child? Mommy still wants to go to the mall first." Vladd looked down even more wearily.
In front of the mall, Smirnov got out of the car while talking on his cellphone. Vladd followed lazily. A pickpocket observes Smirnov from a distance. From his appearance, at a glance, the pickpocket could already guess that Smirnov was a rich young mother. He immediately followed Smirnov. Moments before entering the mall, pickpockets managed to steal Smirnov's cellphone and bag. Smirnov screamed in surprise. Vladd was also surprised.
Meanwhile the cape was running very fast. Bumping into people. No one dared to stop him. Vladd spontaneously ran while taking out his remote. He pointed the remote at the pickpocket who was running. "Mental!" Vladd shouted.
Because the pickpocket was running fast, Vladd's remote ended up hitting someone else. The person was in mental shock while screaming loudly. Vladd continues to chase the pickpocket. He aimed the remote again. "Damn!" Oops! Missed again. This time it was hit by a hawker's son who suddenly swooped in. Once again Vladd pointed the remote while shouting, "Slow motion!"
Success! The pickpocket suddenly ran in slow motion. Very slow. Vladd was happy. He easily chased the pickpocket. Then took back his cellphone and mother's bag. The pickpocket tried to hit Vladd. But his movements were so slow that Vladd easily dodged and kicked the pickpocket in the shin. The pickpocket screamed in annoyance. A few moments later he was arrested by mall security guards.
Smirnov was proud to see Vladd's courage in facing pickpockets. He hugged and kissed Vladd repeatedly. "You're so great, Vladd. It's no wonder you're working on Perry until he's black and blue!"
Vladd was stunned. Obviously he didn't connect. What's the story about Perry, how could he beat him up? Just looking at his body, Vladd feels self-conscious. But, just leave it alone. At this point Vladd didn't care. He was proudly admired by Smirnov.
The pickpocket incident did not deter Smirnov from shopping. He was even more enthusiastic about shopping because he felt protected by Vladd. Now they enter the supermarket aisles in the mall. Vladd pushed a cart loaded with groceries. Meanwhile, Tara Smirnov was nimbly loading various items into the train while chatting happily on the phone.
Vladd groaned heavily. "Mi, if you're shopping monthly, take Maryati, not Vladd!"
"Who does the monthly shopping?" Smirnov smiled in amusement. "That's Maryati's business. And for monthly shopping, you just have to pick up the phone.
Oh yes, the train is full, isn't it, darling? You park near the cashier. Then take another train. There's still a lot that Mami hasn't taken yet!" Vladd was getting more and more upset. He pushed the cart half-way, then stopped in front of the cashier in a transverse position. When he took the new cart he noticed a small child trying to reach a bag of candy on the top shelf. Vladd remoted. towards the candy shelf. "It fell," said Vladd. At that time a visitor who was passing by touched his hand. In an instant, all the candy on the shelf fell on the little boy. The little boy was buried in candy. His mother came to scold him.
"Oops!" Vladd covered his mouth with his palm. He hurriedly pushed the shopping cart. Rushed to look for Smirnov.
The shopping event lasted until evening. Smirnov didn't care that Vladd kept nagging. For Smirnov, the important thing is shopping, shopping and shopping! He was so cheerful going in and out of shops in the mall. Meanwhile, Vladd seemed to be having trouble holding several of Smirnov's shopping bags. Vladd couldn't stand it for a long time either. He threw Smirnov's shopping bag on the floor.
"It looks like Vladd is going to faint, Mi!" said Vladd with his tongue hanging out like a thirsty dog.
"Okay, let's get something to drink first!" persuaded Smirnov while dragging Vladd into the coffee shop at the mall.
While drinking, Smirnov read a women's magazine. Meanwhile, Vladd ate a small cake while watching people passing by. His eyes stopped on a thin, shabby-clothed man outside the coffee shop.
"Mi, Vladd wants to give daddy a cake and money. But Vladd doesn't have any money with him. Use Mami's money, okay?" Vladd said.
"Yes, darling. You can take it yourself in Mami's purse," said Smirnov as he continued reading the magazine.
Vladd rushed to wrap the cake and took money from Smirnov's wallet, then handed it to the skinny man outside the coffee shop. When he returned, Smirnov said that Sapi'i had come to the house. Maryati
just called Smirnov. Vladd was happy because he had a reason to force his mother to come home immediately.
Smirnov told Vladd to go first to the car. Smirnov still wanted to go to the toilet. Without having to be told twice, Vladd immediately sped away. Smirnov opened his wallet. Checking the dollars he was going to deposit for the social gathering at Mrs. Kusno's house. Suddenly Smirnov stared in surprise. The dollars disappeared. He screamed frantically calling Vladd's name. Smirnov got into the car grumbling at Vladd who sat smiling. "You are too much, Vladd! You give Mami dollars to people just like that. That's a thousand dollars, not a little! Mami's social gathering deposit is less! You are too much!"
Vladd remained sitting, smiling. Didn't react. Makes Smirnov even more annoyed. He tried to hit Vladd's arm. But the clap penetrated Vladd's body. Smirnov screamed hysterically.
At that time Sapi'i was being interrogated by Maryati and Lukijo on the terrace. Normally, ask what you need. Why do you come to visit at night? And so on and so on.
Lukijo, with his security guard style, handed him a guest book to be filled in. Sapi'i filled in the guest book. Lukijo and Maryati discuss in the corner of the terrace. It didn't take long for Vladd to arrive by taxi. Vladd immediately invited Sapi'i in. Maryati and Lukijo were stunned.
"How come Mas Vladd is alone? Where is Mrs Mirna?" Maryati asked. "I'm surprised too, Mar!" said Lukijo, scratching his head. "Did Mrs. Vladd tell you to go home first?"
Actually, at that time Smirnov was sobbing at the police station. Next to him, Johan, the driver, also looked panicked.
"Vladd is a good kid, Mr. Betah at home. He doesn't like wandering around. Only yesterday he made the mistake of punching his friend's eyes until they turned blue. But that's all, Mr. Previously, he didn't even have the heart to hit a mosquito!"
"Excuse me, ma'am, what are your child's characteristics? Do you have a photo?" asked the police who received Smirnov's complaint.
Smirnov rummaged through his handbag, pulling out a photo. Then hand it over to the police. The policeman looked at the photo in his hand and at Smirnov's face with a frown. "Mom, this..."
Smirnov nodded with a proud smile. "Yes, Mr Police.
Her skin, her sweet smile. Everyone looks like me!"
The policeman looked back at the photo in his hand, frowning. The jumbo close up photo turned out to be a photo of Smirnov himself smiling broadly.
Meanwhile, in his room, Vladd was telling Sapi'i about his experience of escorting Smirnov. "It turns out this remote is powerful. Not only can it defeat criminals. But it can make holograms too!" said Vladd while cradling his remote.
"So your Mami thought you were still in the car," said Sapi'i in awe.
"Yes, I'. Even though it's a hologram!" Vladd answered.
