" Aunty Vienna."
Vienna turned, when someone greeted him, "this is the change."
" ah yes, thank you, yes." he told the supermarket cashier who was talking to him, then he took his grocery bag and walked up to the figure who called him earlier.
" Agnes."
Agnes waved her hand and Vienna walked over to her. "
" are you alone ?"
Agnes nodded.
" Aunty in no hurry ?" askalanya.
Vienna looked at him in wonder." Why not?"
" Can we talk for a second.."
" Related..."
" Ehmm .. We can be there for a minute ." Agnes pointed to the side of the supermarket . "there was her cafeteria ."
Vienna nods." oh yes can ."
Then they headed to the cafeteria which was still one location with the supermarket .
Waiters approached them.
" lemon tea 1" said Vienna "What do you want ?" ask him to Agnes.
" just the same." then waiters leave after recording the order.
Vienna put a grocery bag on the bench next to him.
" What's up ? " ask Vienna as soon as they sit facing each other now.
Agnes smiled, this time she was sure that what they were talking about would help her relationship with Rey.
" this is aunt .. I just want to ask .."
" what..?
" is aunt Rosa really married again ?"
Vienna widened his eyes. Surprised by Agnes' question just now. "you know where ?" askalanya.
" My mom is Aunt Rosa's best friend."
Vienna was silent 'cause she was confused as to what to answer ', after all, it was not her right to explain the matter to Agnes.
" doesn't Rey know about this ?" search Agnes again .
Vienna took a deep breath." auntie did not know. "the answer was short.
" aunty does not know about aunt Rosa's marriage, or does not know about Rey already know this news or not ?"
" it'll be my business when it comes to Rey ."
" why can that be ? you guys are friends but not all family matters you should know too right ? "
Agnes snorted in annoyance. "I just don't want to until Rey is sad .."
" sad ..?"
" yes, because if aunty turns out to know about aunt Rosa's marriage, surely aunty will hide it from Rey."
" what do you mean ?!" this time Vienna raised its voice .
" because... auntie would want to keep Rey away from her mother, so that aunt can get close to Rey, right ?! hardiknya not to lose.
" enough !" snarled Vienna , making Agnes jerked. "aunty does not feel the need to continue, because it is not your right to interfere in the affairs of others , ok ." he was about to take his grocery bag and leave this place, before he was completely emotional with the question Agnes kept on looking for him earlier.
" i'll tell Rey then, if her mother is married and she's not told .."
Vienna stopped its steps to take the groceries and sat back down.
" what do you really want ?" asked Vienna more slowly, he had started to hold back his emotions now.
" i'll tell you all the same Rey.."
" continue.."
" if Rey finds out she must be disappointed not to be involved in her mother's important event ."
" it's not like you just said you didn't want to make Rey sad.heeh."
" yeah Rey might indeed be disappointed with all this, but for sure she will hate aunty too ."
Vienna furrowed her brows . "hate me ? why ?"
" Rey will be angry with aunt, because aunt also kept her mother's marriage a secret ."
" i never kept her mother's marriage a secret. "the repeat.
" there's no way, auntie must know all this and deliberately wanted to keep Rey away from her mom ."
Vienna laughed cynically." You were a child, don't interfere in the affairs of adults who are none of your business ."
" aunty must be scared if I tell Rey about this." she won't lose.
" fear ? why should I be afraid?"
" if Rey hated aunty, aunty would not be able to marry her father ."
This time Vienna laughed ." you yes .. Your words are getting worse, it's enough, you should not interfere in other people's affairs."
Vienna stood up, took his grocery bag and put money on the table for the drink they ordered, but had not yet come & turned around and intended to leave.
" aunty. I'm not going to tell this to Rey, if auntie wants to help me. "
Vienna stopped its move.
