Family Monthly Meeting

November 6th, 2019

Author: Tito’

Today the Husain family's monthly meeting was held. Although this meeting is a family routine activity, this time it displays a different atmosphere.

The presence of two children who are very contrasting in the middle of adults is unique. Especially if the conversation about the economic arrangement of the community is broad.

Usually in monthly family meetings, only present the chosen family leader from the next generation. But this time, the rule seems to have been abolished.

The presence of Ari in the room as a vice leader signifies this.

“Nak Ari, do you have any business here?” The question of doubt with great caution from Mr. Arif was thrown away when he saw Ari sitting sweetly on one of the participants' chairs beside Ali.

“Of course.” The answer is a typical carefree child his age.

“I mean, Do you know what activities will take place at this time son?” Asked Mr. Arif back awkwardly.

I smiled to see him in this manner in front of a child.

“Of course I know.” Ari answered back briefly without reducing the slightest bit of her carefree attitude.

His attitude makes Mr. Arif look covetous. With a questionable face he turned towards Ali hoping for an explanation. I know very clearly that the family's deputy leader never participated in this meeting.

Someone from us must have invited him. Our accusations were all ultimately focused on Ali.

With a relaxed Ali stood up and handed a map to Mr. Arif. Mr. Arif took a look at the contents of the map. In an instant he could only look at the two children with a look of disbelief.

For a moment he was unable to say anything. Out of curiosity, we all ended up scrambling to see the contents of the map. Unexpectedly, we were only able to respond with the same attitude.

“Now I know why my dad got hit with the.” case Ari said furiously while looking at us with a look of hate.

His carefree attitude had disappeared in an instant.

None of us responded. The contents of the map have provided more than enough information for the two children about the great crime that has taken place in their extended family.

“Well, the monthly meeting of the family should discuss the evaluation of the agenda last month and the agenda for the next month. How about we just start?” Ali said casually.

His attitude somehow adds more anxiety to us.

Mr. Arif opened the meeting awkwardly. An attitude he never showed as long as I joined the advisory board. Honestly, that's a funny attitude. If only the situation were other, I would probably laugh amusedly.

I looked at Ali with admiration. Who would have thought that a child like him would be able to make someone famous firmly look like that.

The meeting finally took place with a stiff atmosphere. Each one of us was very awkward when giving our opinions. I do not think, why do all of us who have felt mature and experienced, behave like this in front of two children who we always doubted his ability?

Now I'm sober and proud of the Judge. His controversial decision to make ‘anak small’ into the family leadership which is the highest position deserves thumbs up.

The skill of the two children in mastering the meeting proved to us our naivety all along.

The plan of the meeting agenda that we have arranged well to set the two children to be in accordance with the wishes of the extinct perpetrators has been. We could only look at them as they casually left the meeting room when the meeting was over.

I laughed amusedly due to the information Tito’ shared with me. I feel very happy. Feelings of anxiety about the fate of the Husain family and the gold mines belonging to the people were dashed already. My hope has risen again and everything now focuses on Ali and Ari. I believe they are capable of doing so.

Tito’ printed the information for me with a smile. The happy expression he just showed this time when sharing information with me. The Little Book followed with a smile as it glanced at me.
