"Today Navya met father."

The faces of Mbak Rina and Mak Tum were immediately shocked by Navya's statement.

"Dad's home. I went to the boutique. I bought Navya ice cream, too." A smile never escaped Navya's face.

Rina and Mak Tum's parents looked at Himeka, as if looking for an explanation of Navya's meaning. Himeka just smiled wryly.
