Mommy lagi suka ikan koi... kolam dibelakang rumah rame lagi dengan suara gemericik air dari filter dan gelembung udara.
Pagi hari, begitu bangun tidur, mommy pasti bergegas ke kolam, celingak-celinguk ngitung koi.
" ngapain sich Mom.." tanya Gallo
" ngitung koi yang mati ya...?" Gallo cekikikan.
Mommy pasti segera mendelik jengkel.
Habis mommy nggak bosan-bosan 'dikerjain' si koi, sudah berapa kali mommy beli koi dan satu per satu mati, ada yang sakit tapi ada juga yang dimakan kucing tetangga.
Pernah juga saking jengkelnya penghuni kolam diganti gurameh..!!!!
Ih.. mommy ada-ada saja, apanya yang keren dilihat dari ikan yang biasanya digoreng mbok Sum..!!
Akhirnya gurameh-gurameh itu diungsikan ke kolam Om Bondan, karena Mommy mulai lagi hunting si koi.
Seperti sore itu Mommy bawa lagi kantong plastik berisi 5 ekor koi.
" Gallo, ini koi jenis Tancho.." ucap Mommy sambil menunjuk seekor ikan warna putih dan ada bulatan merah di kepalanya.
" Nah yang ini kesayangan Mommy, si Bekko.., putih dengan totol-totol hitam"
" banyak toh Mom jenisnya..?" tanya Gallo.
" iya sayang.."
" seperti bunga adenium mommy juga banyak macem-macemnya.." lanjut Gallo.
Mommy tersenyum dan mengangguk.
