Little Alicia is running around in the warung, minding her own business. Weaving in and out of the tables and chairs sprawling in the warung, she occassionally runs back to the table where her father, mother and two brothers are sitting quietly, enjoying their dinner.
After taking another morsel of food from her mother’s plate, off Little Alicia goes to explore the warung. For a 2 year-old, the warung seems a fascinating place for Little Alicia to explore. One never knows what one will encounter at the corner of that table or behind that pakcik carrying food and drinks to the other patrons in the warung.
Dress in a navy blue and white frock with pink shoes and dangling earrings, Little Alicia continues to weave her way around the warung and its patrons, occassionally stopping to stare at a cat or a person that catches her attention. One of her brothers will sometimes join her in her explorations.
Little Alicia is running from the cash register of the warung towards the table where her parents and brothers are seated when she sees another girl who has walked into the warung and is standing a few feet away from her. Little Alicia stops and stares at this other little girl with curly hair and pink shirt and wonders where she came from.
She approaches this other little girl cautiously, looking her up and down while trying to decide if she is a threat or a friend. Unsure of the whole situation, Little Alicia starts moving her arms around, which looks pretty threatening. Any normal girly little girl would have run as far as they can from Little Alicia with her arms waving around looking like tentacles but this particular little girl, Little Alyssa her name is, stand her ground and continue looking at Little Alicia with her head cocked to the right.
At the blink of an eye, in the most unexpected moment, Little Alyssa reaches out and pushes Little Alicia for attempting to bully her away from the warung!Little Alicia took a few steps back, shocked at what just happened! The look on Little Alicia’s face is priceless!
“I will not have this!”, Little Alicia thinks in her little mind. “I’m not going to have another girl push me and walk away scot free!”
Little Alicia is plotting to push Little Alyssa, the same way she was pushed seconds earlier. She takes a step forward with her hand gradually reaching out when her brother, who is smitten with Little Alyssa, steps forward and places himself between the two little girls. He spreads out his arms, preventing Little Alicia from moving forward and executing her plan. During this minor commotion, Little Alyssa turns around and nimbly moves away from the siblings.
When both Little Alicia and her brother realise that Little Alyssa is not around anymore, Little Alicia continue on exploring the warung while her brother look around forlornly, since he lost sight of the little girl who stole his heart. Life it seems, is back to normal once more.
The above is just a little story I thought up after witnessing a few toddlers running around the warung and pushing each other around a few weeks back. I am not too sure if the story was what really happened in their cute little heads but the scenario is too cute not to be shared.
Oi! Update mana?
