"Yes! Please bring salt in the kitchen." Pinta's mother, Ana.
Yuan removed the earphones that were being attached to his ear.
"Let Daisy just bi." Daisy.
Tonight, Ray's family and Ana's family gather at Ray's house for dinner together. They had dinner with a barbeque party in the yard.
Ana who is still grilling barbeque meat on the grill, turns to Daisy at a glance.
"Alright, then please, Daisy." Ana said that refocused on her flesh.
Daisy nodded and walked into the Gavin house.
"She likes to get attention." Yuan whispered, aimed at Nana who was sitting beside him.
Nana pats Yuan on the shoulder,
"He's my brother, how dare you touch him in front of me." Nana.
Yuan exhaled, he re-attached his earphones, listening to the song made by his boyband.
"Yuan, my father said, don't use that thing when there is a dad and mom, you don't understand it yet? You want dad to confiscate it?" Ray came, standing in front of his son who was sitting relaxing.
Yuan hung his hand that just wanted to wear earphones.
"I'm not going to wear it." Yuan Saying.
Nana looked at Yuan melas, the man pity also if he had to relent, let alone this is Yuan's favorite problem.
Nana then stood up from her seat, she ran away from the courtyard of the house, before long she brought back a bluetooth speaker, put it in the middle of their family and turned on the music at medium volume.
Everyone turned their heads towards Nana, the smiling girl who was also reciprocated by the smiles from the women who were there.
Both Ray and Yohan, could only shut up and give in.
Nana again sat down beside Yuan who was staring at her.
"It's better, right?"
"Why play our song? If they recognize my voice how?" Asked Yuan who looked worried.
"Sstt take it easy, only me, you, and my mom know this song. Daisy also just got into our college, maybe she doesn't know yet, if she finds out later, we just have to ask her to keep this a secret." Nana's Brief.
Yuan sighed, he then looked for the figure of Rachel who was staring at him and Nana.
Yuan smiled awkwardly at his aunt. Rachel shrugged her shoulders, as if to say, yes it's up to you, auntie doesn't interfere.
Dreams are like air, you cannot hold them, but you can feel them.
Keep breathing and feeling, open your heart's eyes, see the beautiful world, the millions of colors and flavors. Thisismylife.
"Let's eat! Everything is ready." Ana said, she placed the last plate on the long table.
Dinner began with a small laugh from the extended family, warmth enveloping all hearts, but there were some hearts that felt a sense of emptiness. Someone who has been out of sight for a long time, someone who has never been at a family dinner.
Nana and Calista's grandmother sighed simultaneously, although their seats were a little far apart, but the feeling of their hearts was close to the same. I want a guy named Alex here.
"Yeah." Said Yuan, who saw the sorrow of Nana, the man thrusting barbeque meat at Nana, intending to feed her cousin.
Nana displayed her sad face only at the man, she then opened her mouth, receiving a bribe from Yuan.
"Didn't he call you?" Ask Yuan.
Nana lowered her head, though,
Yuan since childhood already knew the problem of the Nana family, actually it was not a problem, but it had become a choice that changed Nana's destiny. Being separated with a biological father who is so considerate and affectionate to him must be very heavy. Yuan could feel Nana's feelings.
"Why not ask him to meet?"
Nana sighed, she then looked at Yuan softly.
"I don't want to be selfish Yuan, I know the reason papa left this country, and was always alpha at every family event like this. You must understand too, right?"
Yuan nodded, though,
"Yes." Yeah."
•••
The family dinner that took place, was finally over.
After making things right, Rachel and her family say goodbye to going home. So did Ana's father and stepmother.
What about Rio? Rio is married and lives in a neighboring country. Rarely returning home, the man builds his own business and returns Ana's father's department store to his rightful heir, Kenan. Therefore Kenan can not be present here because he is busy with work.
"Sister, I'm home." Rachel said, after her father and mother came home, Rachel also joined the party to go home.
"Well, be careful on the road." Said Ana being embraced by Ray.
"Where's Nana?" Ask Yohan who did not see Nana on the porch of the house.
"Nana's inside with Yuan." Answer grandma Calista.
"Geez, that boy, they're grown up, there's no way Nana's staying over and sleeping with Yuan. I'll call him." Rachel.
"It's okay, after all, Nana also used to sleep in other rooms since they were in junior high school." Ana tries to prevent Rachel from forcing Nana home.
It looks like Rachel took a breath, though,
"I'm sorry if he's troubling you, brother." Rachel.
"No, it's not troublesome at all, Nana is already like our daughter." Said Ana who turned to Ray for support.
"Yes right." Ray's words support Ana's words.
"Then we go home, good night, see you later." Rachel.
"Well, Ana, Ray, we're home." Yohan said in a still stiff tone to her former master and mistress.
Ana and Ray can only smile, laughing at Yohan's attitude.
"Uncle, auntie, Daisy is also welcome home, greetings to Brother Yuan ya." Daisy then got into the car.
"Yes, be careful on the road." Ana waved her hand as the car sped out of their yard.
"Let's go in, it's cold outside." Said Ray's stepmother.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Ray and Ana.
Looking at the old woman who had entered first, the two of them looked at each other.
"You saw him?" Ask Ana.
"Sad face? Yeah, I see it, every time we have an event without Alex, I'm sure you're going to have a face like that." Ray said with his breath.
"Nana too. I feel sorry for the boy, but Alex didn't intend to go home and meet his son, even though he used to call Nana, but still meeting in person was better." Ana.
