(Still Revised) Grandfather's Green Lake

Meet Uncle Yangki

"How are things? I never heard anything else after the twins died. At that time I had to leave the country" asked Hasan.

"Now there's only me, Syafrial, and Yoshri left."

"Is Yoshri still busy at his job, tinkering with the lab?" Hasan asked back.

"That was his favorite from the past, he was too obsessed, not aware of time sometimes."

"That's all because you're an old man, if you hadn't forced him long ago, he wouldn't have been so obsessed. Huh!" maki Hasan's.

Grandpa Ari just chuckled at hearing Hasan.

"What about Syafiral?" Hasan asked back.

"The two rascals, still crazy chasing the world and playing women, I don't know how many wives he has now. He only wears 3 people as far as I know, even the last one he introduced me was young, maybe his wife is as big as your daughter Wanda."

"Basar old bangka, already smelled of earth. Hahaahaha. It's crazy!" Hasan laughed out loud until his neatly arranged whiskers in white also swayed.

"Maybe it's just the two of us who are loyal" Grandpa Ari said with a serious face.

"Maybe... but in fact they are all also lonely like us, they vent with busyness, while we can not vent it, because it is too beautiful to forget, or replaced with an outlet is not it?" hasan.

Their conversation came to a halt upon Humaira's arrival.

"Grandfather, all the dishes are ready to serve, let's go to the dining room," Humaira asked.

They all gathered at the dinner table, the last to join were Alex, Ronald, and Agung. They were already looking a little close by now, although it still looked a little awkward.

They ate voraciously until all the food was gone, leaving behind dirty dishes. The men returned with their respective activities, now Aira, Wanda and Humaira were cleaning in the kitchen with Bi Mona.

Once neat, the three of them sat in the TV room, sitting there relaxing, watching and enjoying a snack.

"Ma, Bi Wanda, did you guys finish high school not see uncle Yangki again? when I asked Grandpa and Papa, they switched the conversation."

"I was very curious about uncle Yangki, wanting to meet him," Humaira said.

"We never saw each other again" replied Wanda.

"Oh, aren't you all very close to uncle huh? didn't you hear any news?"

"If you ask a more familiar about uncle Yangki, who more clearly asked your mama aja, son," replied Wanda.

Humaira stared with a pleading gaze towards Aira. He was very eager to meet with people named Yangki, even the gate to the 5 artificial green lakes I just remembered for him. Isn't it so important?

"Well, tomorrow mama will take you to meet her."

The next day, Aira invites Humaira to visit the house of the Admaja family. He is greeted warmly by Selly, and Yuhen.

"Hi Humaira, hey Auntie, please come in."

"How are you Ra," said Yuhen.

"Alhamdulillah, I am good brother. How's brother doing?"

"Yes, it's still as usual. This is your daughter with Arnel?"

"Yes, brother."

"Beautiful as you."

Well, flirtatious too is his papa Selly. It's only natural that papa likes to be angry when he sees mama secretly going here alone, his brother is aja seduced mama like this, what about the temptation of Uncle Yangki? definitely more! Humaira monologues in heart.

"Can't you, how's your sister's wife? I haven't seen him since we met."

"Oh, he's good. He's out of the country."

Selly brought cold drinks for them and served them, then sat down beside Humaira.

"Do you want to see Alex too?" ask Selly.

Yuhen's countenance, Selly changed upon hearing Humaira's reply.

"You sure? do you know my uncle? ask Selly cynically.

"Not yet, so want to know uncle Yangki," Humaira replied with a carefree smile.

"Oh, so yeah. All right, finish the drink first. Uncle will take you to meet uncle Yangki." explains Yuhen.

"Alright Uncle," Humaira exclaimed ria.

Moments later, Yuhen led them to the back of the house, he opened a small gate, then at the gate there was a small road with small stones, it was filled with red and white roses.

Humaira recalled, the red and white roses were very similar to the roses in her papa's private pond, the plan is that the pool will be one of the tourism spots at the gate to 5 artificial green lakes.

He looked around, the running water, and so many other plants, the place was so well preserved. So beautiful, Humaira muttered.

Then he came to a greenhouse, where there were so many paintings, so many gifts, and so many letters.

"Come, uncle will take you to see Uncle Yangki's greenhouse first, before meeting him," Yuhen asked.

Humaira and the others followed Yuhen, after entering the greenhouse, Aira and Selly just sat on a bench near the rose, they did not come to walk around the greenhouse, because they often visited here.

Unlike Humaira, he was very enthusiastic. He walked around the greenhouse, he was amazed.

"Beautiful, what a beautiful uncle" she exclaimed.

"Do you want to read these letters" asked Yuhen.

Humaira approached the stack of neatly arranged letters, so many love letters, not even opened at all. There are some that are open, it is very funny, so many gifts from fans.

"Well, Uncle Yangki's a cool guy yeah, got a lot of love letters."

Humaira read some letters, she laughed out loud, people in the past if writing love should use pantun and poetry. Even the pantun is very funny.

"This is a special letter," pointed out Yuhen.

Humaira opened and looked at the letter, the letter was only addressed to her mama. Humaira read the letter, without feeling her tears flowing.

"Did Uncle Yangki love my Mama so much, Uncle?"

Yuhen nodded.

"Did Uncle Yangki not dare to express his love, so that my Mama's attitude with my Papa together?"

Yuhen then smiled, and let out a deep long breath. Instantly there was a heavy object that hit his chest, so he felt heavy in taking a breath.

"He said it, son."

"Then, my mother refused because she loved my father?

"Maybe, it could be yes, it could be non-existent."

"Are you uncle?"

"In reality, Aira did not refuse and did not accept it either."

Humaira's two eyebrows were adrift, implying astonishment.

"So, the point is Uncle Yangki hanging my mother, continues to be married? cruel to my mother!"

'Heheheheh', Yuhen chuckled. "Not cruel, if curious, let's meet Uncle Yangki." take Yuhen.

They came out of the greenhouse, then to where Yangki was, Humaira's whole body shook, her legs felt weak to support her.

"Uncle, what is all this?" lirih Humaira's.

Aira hugged Humaira who suddenly shed her tears.

"Calm down baby, listen to Mama and Uncle yes, we will tell you everything.
