The Museum of Modern Art Manhattan New York...
"Mass?" ask Abi to Gandari. "Keep I call you 'Dik' that?"
Gandari laughing. "Waduh yeah don't dong. How does that effect. If I call 'Mas' isn't that common huh? Did I call 'Sir Abi'?"
Abi is just a manyun. "Sir, it's old. It's okay to be like my sisters when you call."
Gandari walked with Abi next to him.
"Are you still related to Miss Yuna Pratomo?" gandari asked Abi and now they were both in the area where the great painting was on display.
"He was Oma buyutku. Why?" Abi turned towards the girl whose height was only as high as his should.
"Let me show you something." Gandari walked into a room that read 'Staff Only' and opened the password in the door handle. Abi followed the girl and was stunned to see a large photo of his great-grandfather Oma there along with other people's photos.
Yuna Pratomo Blair's
"Mak... What does Gandari mean?" abi asked confusedly while stroking Yuna's photo. My oma is beautiful! No wonder Opa Edward got to bucin like that.
"Miss Pratomo was also the director of this gallery and for me, he was a role model because he could break down as the first Indonesian who could become the director of this museum. And I am now proud as an Indonesian who can follow in the footsteps of Miss Pratomo" said Gandari. "I just want to show you, Mas Abi. I was about to show Mrs O'Grady but unfortunately he was unable to attend. So there's a granddaughter, why don't you."
"If my mom sees a picture of Oma, it can be emotional. My mother was a very affectionate person and adored our Oma in such a way." Abi looked at Yuna's pretty face. "Honey, this great-grandson is art blind like his eyes."
"Mr Edward Blair?" ask Gandari.
"Yup. If you tell a story, Opa only knows business, luxury cars and branded goods but not artwork. Do you know what? The two of them first met because Opa got a painting of Degas and Oma who became his curator."
Gandari seemed amazed to hear the story of the famous Blair couple.
"It seems like their story is very romantic" Gandari smiled.
"Oh yeah. They were the most romantic couple in their own style" Abi recalled some family videos that contained even more often the absurdity of Edward and Yuna.
"Let's get out, Mas Abi. I'd just like to show you." Gandari walked ahead of Abi who was still staring at the photo of Omanya.
"Abi get out first Oma. Mami Kangen Oma. Once - times come to dream mami ya" he said a little choked. Abi never saw both opa and oma because they were gone when her mother was a teenager. Abi knew how they were gone and allowed the actions of Kaia to repay in such a way. (Read Bonchap My Rey chapter Kill The Velvet ).
"Are you okay mas Abi?" ask Gandari.
"Just say goodbye to Oma" Abi's bumbling smile.

The evening event ended with many entrepreneurs and potential investors who promised to talk at the office of MB Enterprise, making Abi satisfied. It's not free that her mom told her to attend this event. Get clients and get acquainted with beautiful Indonesian girls too!
Only this time Abi was very interested in a girl even though at MIT used to be many girls who chased after her but nothing could make him turn his head twice like himself to Gandari.
Abi waits until Gandari finishes chatting with a new invited guest.
"Sorry, Gandaria. Can we exchange mobile numbers? I'm sure my mom would be excited to come here to see Oma."
"Oh sure!" Gandari took his business card and wrote something there. "This is my business number and behind it is a personal number. Mas Abi can call whichever is up."
Abi took his cell phone and called Gandari's personal number. "That's my personal number."
"Okay, I'm saving it now."
"I'll go home first. Thank you for showing Omaku" Abi smiled.
"Sama-sama mas Abi's. Careful."

Kaia and Rhett who had just come and sat in the living room were just staring confusedly at their son looking sumringah.
"You why Bi? Happy looking?" ask Kaia.
Abi said nothing but immediately sat down next to his mother and hugged her tightly.
"I saw Oma Yuna."
Kaia's blue eyes immediately glared perfectly. "Where?"
"At The Museum of Modern Art Manhattan. Did you know that Oma Yuna was a director there?"
Rhett and Kaia gawked. "Seriously?"
"Serious mommy. The director himself showed it to me. And I saw a big photo of Oma there."
Kaia seemed very emotional hearing her son's words which made Rhett embrace his wife. "Mommy doesn't know that, Bi."
"Said Gandari, if mami wants to see can but make a pact first."
"Wait on! Who's Gandari?" Rhett's blue eyes looked at Abi with a probing look.
"From that director of The Museum Of Modern Art now, papi" Abi replied. I am talking about Gandari.
"What is the name of Indonesia once? What's his full name?" ask Kaia who became curious.
"Gandari Pramudhita's. This is on why the hell?" Abi looked at his parents in confusion.
"Just this time you call the name of the girl using the first name, because all this time use the last name you call" Kekeh Kaia.
"Huh?! Any calls for whistling?" Abi is not thinking about his parents. How many glasses of champagne did they drink?
"Is she pretty?" ask Rhett who got Kaia's copy. "Lho, his friends Abi many beautiful - just beautiful he did not look. It's only been a few hours since I called you first name."
"Beauty is relative, papi" Abi replied diplomatically.
Kaia picks up her iPad at the table and starts searching Gandari Pramudhita's data.
"Rhett, she's beautiful." Kaia showed her ipad to her husband.
"Easily Abi immediately said first name." Rhett looked at his son. "Have you exchanged mobile numbers yet?"
"Easy! I want to show you a picture of Oma. This is on why the hell is it so excited?" grouse Abi.
"Bi, tell Gandari the same, tomorrow we're going to see a picture of Oma." Kaia also stood towards her bedroom.
"Haaaaahhh?" Abi gawking.
"Tomorrow Papi will ask Bryan to screen Gandari." Rhett stood up to his wife.
"Lhooo's? Why bring it - take Oom Bryan anyway?"
