Jarum jam menunjukkan tepat jam 8 kurang 10 menit malam hari. Hari itu adalah Senin malam. Keluarga Aziz mempunyai rutinitas yang unik setiap hari Senin malam jam 8, yaitu mengobrol dalam bahasa Inggris sambil duduk di ruang keluarga selama sekitar satu jam. Kadang-kadang, Rina yang mengawali obrolan. Kadang-kadang pula, Aziz yang mengawali obrolan. Namun kali ini, Rina yang mengawali obrolan.

Sambil sibuk menggendong dan menyusui bayi Milla, Rina duduk di depan Aziz, Dilla dan Cilla untuk mengawali obrolan bahasa Inggris pada Senin malam itu. Tema obrolan pada Senin malam itu adalah tentang warna kesukaan.

"Good evening everybody!" kata Rina

"Good evening Mommy!" jawab Aziz, Cilla dan Dilla secara serentak

"How are you doing?" tanya Rina

"I am doing well!" jawab Aziz, Cilla dan Dilla secara serentak

"Before we start our English conversation in this evening, let's pray together. Let me lead the prayer" kata Rina

"In this beautiful evening, we would like to have some conversations in English. The topic of the conversation is about favorite color. Now, you have to tell me about your favorite color. Dilla, you are first" kata Rina

"My favorite color is yellow, because yellow is the symbol of creativity" kata Dilla

"Are you creative, girl?" kata Aziz

"Yes, I am" jawab Dilla

"What is the proof that you are creative, girl?" kata Aziz

"I have drawn many drawings, such as Kakakku Cilla, Ibuku Tersayang and Ayah Tercinta" kata Dilla

"Wow, what a creative kid, girl!" kata Rina

"Thank you, Mommy" kata Dilla

"Cilla, you're turn" kata Rina

"My favorite color is white, because white is the symbol of perfection and benevolence. And I love white flowers, too, because they are very beautiful" kata Cilla

"Are you benevolent, girl?" tanya Aziz

"Yes, I am" jawab Cilla

"What is the proof that you are benevolent, girl?" kata Rina

"When I was studying in kindergarten, I aided one of my schoolmates that suffered from scalp laceration. I used my white handkerchief to press his lacerated scalp, and my white handkerchief turned crimson as it was soaked with his blood" kata Cilla

"Cilla, you should be careful if you aid wounded person, because HIV virus can be transmitted through another person's blood. HIV virus is very deadly. Do you understand, girl?" kata Rina

"Yes, I do understand" jawab Cilla

"Daddy, you're turn" kata Rina

"My favorite color is black. Black is male color, because black is the symbol of dominance, protection, emotionless and strength. Wearing black outfits can make me look more masculine than actually I am" kata Aziz

"Daddy, what is the proof that you are masculine?" tanya Cilla

"As a little boy, my hobbies were playing kites and playing marbles. As a teen boy, my favorite subject was Physics, and my hobby was parkour. As an adult man, my hobby is mountain climbing" kata Aziz

"If you are truly masculine, why do you always apply the beauty products onto your face everyday?" tanya Rina

"Because I want to be more good-looking" kata Aziz

"Oh, I see" kata Rina

Terakhir, Rina pun membahas warna kesukaannya sendiri. Ternyata, warna kesukaan Rina adalah merah.

"Last but not least, let me tell you about my own favorite color. My favorite color is red. Red is the color of our blood. I love red color, because red is the symbol of passion, sacrifice, courage and love. Red color makes me more passionate than before. And I like strawberries and red grapes, too, because they are rich of antioxidants" kata Rina

"Mommy, you have said that red color makes you more passionate than before. What is your biggest passion in your life?" tanya Dilla

"Medical science is my biggest passion in my life" kata Rina

"Mommy, when we were eleventh graders in Northern Light Upper High School, you got the student's report score of one hundred in the subjects of Mathematics. Why were you acing in Mathematics, Mommy? Is Mathematics your passion in your life?" tanya Aziz

"No, Mathematics is not my passion, really. I was acing in Mathematics because God has given me very high ability in Mathematics, and I am very grateful to have that" kata Rina

"Oh, I see" kata Aziz

"Mommy, you have said that red is the color of blood, and you love red color. What is your blood type?" tanya Cilla

"I am O, girl" kata Rina

"How about you, Daddy?" tanya Cilla

"I am AB, girl" jawab Aziz

"Okay, because the time is over, I think that's enough for our conversation in this night. We close our conversation in this night by praying together. Aziz, please lead the prayer" kata Rina

***

"Thank you for your time, good night everybody!" kata Rina

"Good night Mommy, thank you" kata Cilla

"Have a nice dream, Cilla" kata Rina

"Good night, my beautiful wife" kata Aziz

"Have a nice dream, honey" kata Rina

"Good night Mommy" kata Dilla

"Have a nice dream, Dilla" kata Rina

Aziz, Cilla, Dilla dan Rina pun berjalan menuju ke kamar dan langsung tidur.
