Real Or Fake

BROF #52

Nana poured a spoonful of capcay onto her plate.

"Your carrot pieces remind aunty of her late friend Aunt. If he cooks capcay chunks of carrots just like you." Said Nana who pierced a piece of carrot with a fork.

"My mom also likes to cut carrots that way. Mama said her intention was to form flowers but it became chaotic. As a result, I also joined the cake cut."

"Your mother must be very proud of you. It's beautiful, it's smart to cook again." Puji Winjaya's.

Gladys simply responded with a smile. He did not know what he said Winjaya was right that his mother was proud of him because he himself had never met his mother for a dozen years.

Finished eating they sat relaxing in the living room while watching a barbie movie on TV.

"It's not just watching together, it's just you watching." Mikael protests at his nephew focusing on the TV screen.

"Uncle watch it. Look at Oma and Opa they're older than Uncle but watch. No protest like Uncle." Said Yulin with his slightly slurred voice.

Nana and winjaya who heard it just smiled.

Mikael can only step down with his nephew. He approached Yulin and lifted the little girl into his lap to hug Yulin from behind while Yulin just stayed still and remained focused on the TV screen, the little girl seemed to be resigned to his Uncle's lift.

"Honey you like it so much, Barbie to seriously watch it." Mikael who saw Gladys just kept watching Barbie movie.

"Barbie's movie is one of my favorite movies. Although watching it over and over again is also not bored." Gladys.

"Yulin likes Aunt Gladys more and more." Said Yulin who was now looking towards Gladys who was sitting right beside Mikael.

"It turns out the niece is the same boyfriend." Said Mikael pretending to be upset.

"Look at them like a happy family." Said Winjaya to his wife. But Mikael and Gladys did not hear it.

"Yes. I agree that they are married." Nana who supports her husband.

"Oh, honey, who called you?"

"Bu Beno, his son will marry Bu Beno and his sister wants to wear a uniform cloth but different models so I and Bu Beno video call with his brothers."Obviously Nana.

Nana often told her husband nothing, nothing she hid from the unimportant to the really important thing.

"How about your fellow Arisan that you and your other friends are going to help him?" Ask Winjaya.

"Oh him. At that time, my friends and I had collected money and we wanted to give it to him. But Papa knows he's angry with us and says we're degrading him. Padakan our good intentions to help reduce the cost of her husband's treatment in addition to her husband's company that has been rocking." Replied Nana who remembered the incident when she and one more friend gave money from a collection of his fellow tourists.

"How are the boys?" Ask Winjaya again.

"I don't know where. He said at that time his son had come to Indonesia but I heard the existence of his son as if in the swallow of the earth, suddenly saying. There's no news. I also heard that his son actually did not want to continue his papa business."

"When you guys got together yesterday he came?" Tanya Winjaya again who was quite curious about the story of his wife's friend, plus Winjaya did like when his wife was talking to him because Nana likes to look at the interlocutor with a serious look.

"He's coming Pa. Papa knows how it looks. He wears a new feeling, new branded bag anyway appearance is not like before when gathering arisan. My friends and I were astonished. My friends even said maybe he sped it out." Obviously Nana who was very enthusiastic about telling it until unconsciously Gladys and Mikael continued to look at him to listen to the story.

"Aunte Nana's story seems exciting." Said Gladys who was more interested in hearing Nana's story compared to the barbie film that was being watched earlier.

Nana simply responded with a timid smile.

"Kids don't have to eavesdrop on parents' conversations, just focus on watching." Said Winjaya who saw his wife who was embarrassed because she was caught telling the disgrace of others.

"Watch what Pah, barbie mulu." Mikael's Protest.

"Oh yes, I bought fruit, I took it first." Said Gladys who just remembered the fruits he bought earlier in the supermarket.

"Don't you take it long, darling." Mikael Canda.

***

Finished cutting the fruits in the kitchen Gladys immediately headed to the living room. But suddenly his steps stopped when his eyes saw the contents of the wall shelf in the corner of the room.

Wall shelves containing various forms of animals from wooden statues.

Gladys wanted to take a cat-shaped statue for a closer look.

"Non don't." Said Bi Yuyun who had come out of nowhere.

Gladys who heard it instantly angered his intentions.

"Mrs forbid anyone to hold these wooden statues except the Madam herself, even when cleaning them." Bi Yuyun.

"But why Bi?" Ask Gladys in wonder.

"If you ever heard from the Madam, she said these statues were the work of her best friend. So the Madam wanted to reminisce about it by displaying these statues."

What is the friend of Aunt Nana the same person as the person who made the carrot pieces in the capcay that Aunt Nana talked about earlier with the person who made these statues. Thought Gladys.

"Auntie know what is the name of Aunt Nana's best friend who made these statues?" Ask Gladys again.

"his name.... Who is it." Said Yuyun who tried to remember the name of the person who had mentioned Nana to her.

"Oh Auntie remembers Non. Name's...."

"Dear." Call Mikael who made Bi Yuyun's words cut off

"You were waiting for Bi Yuyun to talk here." Mikael then took the fruit plate from Gladys' hand.

They then left Bi Yuyun heading to the middle room.

"The fruits have come." Mikael then put the fruit plate he carried onto the table.

"Yulin want strawberries." Yulin said enthusiastically.

"Take it easy Yulin, Aunt Gladys cut strawberry fruit many kok specifically for Yulin." Said Gladys who gave Yulin a small fork.

Yulin stuffed a piece of strawberry into his mouth.

"hmm. Yulin likes." Yulin was pleased.

"Where to eat Opa strawberries?" Tanya Winjaya who was piercing the kiwi fruit that will be eaten.

"Opa strawberry fruit is delicious, but Yulin prefers strawberry fruit cut by Aunt Gladys." Yulin replied after swallowing a piece of strawberry fruit in his mouth

Winjaya who heard it pretended to have a sad face in front of her grandson.

"Opa don't be sad, did Yulin not say that the Opa strawberry fruit is not good. Yulin likes coke with strawberry fruit Opa." Said Yulin who didn't want his eyes to feel sad.

"You're a smart kid." Said Winjaya then gently rubbed his grandson's head. He felt proud of his granddaughter who did not want him to feel sad.
