Because of Lent

Chapter 47. Strange Galang

****

Vina, Galang and Enzo finally get to enjoy lunch together like a happy family. Enzo's smile had not receded from his lips, though his mouth was occasionally filled with spaghetti.

"Mom, this is the best spaghetti I've ever eaten" Enzo said sincerely, the boy turned to his papa. "Yes, right, Pah?" enzo asked Galang.

"Yes, this is delicious."

"Huh, papa don't praise your cooking half-heartedly so, later mama sad," continued Enzo. The boy had already put on his protest face,

"Yes, honey. Mama Vina's cuisine is the best" said Galang. Galang's words just made Vina's face meet red.

Galang smiled faintly at the face of Vina who met because of her praise. Galang is not the type of man who is easy to throw compliments on others. However, for the sake of Vina, it feels like Galang can if he has to spend all day giving praise to please his future wife.

Now the little family candidate has moved, back to the family room. Enzo plays the toy cars he was carrying, while Vina and Galang sit quietly while watching Enzo play.

Vina glanced towards Galang, She wanted to change clothes, However, Vina was embarrassed to say so.

"Why, Deck?"

"Mas, I'll let you go up to the room first, okay? I'm gonna change clothes first. It stinks of sweat."

"Times, anyway?" Galang half leaned his body towards Vina.

"Ihh, Mum. What, anyway?" Vina rewinds her body, her face reddened again to make Galang actually smile nosy.

"It's still fragrant, really," said Galang.

"Mas, there's Enzo don't be," protested Vina.

"Why? he won't see, he's too busy with his toys."

"Steep, Mas. Don't do this. Shame if anyone sees."

just as Vina shut her mouth, the voices of Rita and Hani startled Galang and Vina. "That's okay, Vin. Let's just say the others contract."

Vina suddenly covered her face with both hands while Rita and Hani giggled.

Kendra, Kemala and Davin approach Enzo. The three sat around Enzo and immediately chatted.

"Ken, Mala, change your clothes there first" said Rita.

"Yes, mom." The two brothers got up they walked limply to their room.

"Generica ...." Just by his name, Davin immediately stood up and walked towards his room.

Vina then rose to her feet and hurried to leave Galang and her two brothers-in-law who continued to look at her with seductive looks. Galang smiled, Rita and Hani threw each other a gestureful look.

"Enzo's having lunch?" rita asked while sitting near the 5-year-old boy.

"Here you go, mama masakin I'm the same papa spaghetti."

"Tante Vina for spaghetti, Mah?" ask Ken excitedly.

"From Enzo's story, it seems so."

"Asik" said Ken with a smile. Rita just shook her head looking at Ken's behavior which was sometimes more childish than her sister. Moreover, since long ago, Ken was very sticky with Vina.

When he saw Vina coming down with her clothes, Galang was again fascinated by the young widow. Vina's appearance is more like a high school girl who just passed her first pubescent.

"Aunty, really aunty today cooking spaghetti?"

"Yes, Ken. If Ken wants to, Ken says it's the same way he's behind him to put manasin in the microwave."

Ken goes to the kitchen. She will not miss the spaghetti made by Vina because it is her favorite food, her tantic cooking never disappoints.

"Vin, said Fahri next week 'Kan the kids are off. We all go on holiday to Japan or Korea. He says it's winter there."

"Yes, no problem, anyway. Just say to brother Fahri, my visa like it needs to be updated deh."

"Just give me your visa, let me help you take care of it."

"Mama, you want a vacation, okay?" enzo asked, the boy immediately stopped his activities and approached Vina.

"It seems, yes."

"Enzo can come?" ask the boy by putting on his innocent face.

"By dong, the more exciting."

"Papa can too, auntie?" ask the boy.

"Of course," Rita replied as she held back a laugh looking at her sister-in-law's irritated face.

"Well, Vin?" rita asked, Vina nodded even though she was actually very embarrassed because her two sisters-in-law were blatantly teasing her.

"Can you really come, Deck?"

"Mas Galang wrongly asked me, I was just invited."

"But if you can, I'll just ask Fahri. So even if I can't come, I'll follow you."

"Terusah mas Galang aja."

"Eh, yes, Brother. It's me nitip dong for the orphanage kids yesterday." Vina opened her bag and then handed her the envelope of money that Pras had given her.

"Well, is this the story?" rita asked while receiving the envelope.

"No, that was .... " Vina glanced at Galang through the tail of her eyes. He was worried that Galang would be offended because he received money from his ex.

"From him, huh?" ask Rita.

"Yeah. It says the money paid off his mother's debt."

"Hahahha .. strange oath. Yesterday you didn't want to make a living now money-loving support," said Hani with an annoyed look. Galang just quietly listened since he actually wanted to touch Vina, but he did not want to make Vina feel uncomfortable being around him.

"It's paying off debt, you know. Not what money."

"Yes, yes" replied Vina's second brother-in-law.

Galang said goodbye and left Enzo to stay at Vina's house. He could not linger near the young widow especially now that his status was officially not owned by anyone.

"Papa Enzo is a bit strange today" said Hani, nodding.

"Yes, really. I thought I was the only one who thought that. He's rich, so calm."

Vina was silent, she actually felt the same way, but she did not know why.

"Well, there's nothing she's hiding."

"Don't suudzon, brother. Maybe he has an important job so stay calm."

"Yes, maybe. Yeah, you took Enzo to take a nap. Ken also ate it long." Rita got up from her seat and went to the kitchen. Kemala and Davin had accompanied Enzo to play after they changed clothes.

"Enzo's taking a nap?"

"Enzo hasn't been sleepy, Mah."

"Yes, that's it. Later if you're sleepy to say, yes." Enzo nodded and returned busy with his toys.

Vina sat leaning against the sofa, she became reminded of her sister-in-law's words, but Vina hurriedly shook her head. Do not let him follow the bad thoughts on Galang.

"Ma, mama. Mama is daydreaming." Enzo approached and sat down next to his future mother.

"Engga, really. Enzo's going to school tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, Ma. Mama's in the delivery, huh?"
