The Other Side's

See You Soon's

On the other hand, Aunt Sinta and Netra were having dinner. Netra accidentally opened her mirror and placed it on the table.

"Tante, there's something I want to ask" Netra said as she picked up the piece of meat in front of her.

"Yes, just ask," replied Aunt Sinta as she held her glass and prepared to drink.

"Did aunty like my dad?" ask Netra. Aunt Sinta choked on hearing the question and Netra's reflection in the mirror was also shocked to hear it.

"Uhuk, what do you mean?"

Aunt Sinta immediately stared intently at Netra. While his reflection in the mirror only pay attention to their chatter.

"Ah no, I was just wondering why my aunt wanted to save me when my aunt didn't care about me or grandma first" Netra replied casually.

"Yes, you're a aunt's nephew. It's the duty of aunty to nolong you," replied Aunt Sinta trying to cool back and eat the pieces of meat in front of her.

"What does that mean? Why is he suddenly talking about it. I think I've been dreaming. Yes I remember Aunt Sinta was jealous of my mother until she slapped her. What, was that dream because of him? Is this what he meant by his plan so he purposely let me listen to everything?" think that reflection.

"Oh yeah auntie, does auntie know about Aunt Ira?" ask Netra back.

"This child, actually he knows how much," inner Aunt Sinta.

"Aunty?" call Netra because Aunt Sinta just fell silent.

"What business do you ask that?' answer Aunt Sinta.

"Yes, I'm just asking. I heard that Aunt Sinta was friends with Aunt Ira" Netra said.

"What's? Aunt Sinta and Aunt Ira are friends? What does it mean Aunt Sinta knows where her son Aunt Ira is? I'm sure this is his plan. He purposely asked a lot and let me know by myself what was happening, "the inner reflection of Netra.

"Yes, it's true. You know where you are?" tanya Aunty Sinta is suspicious.

"Ah good eavesdropper turned out. Yeah, you're right. Anna and her husband, Pras, came to see me to question Ira. But why do I answer the questions of people I don't know. Ah no-no, I was wrong. I know Pras well. Who would have thought that he was the person I met when I liked Mas Salman, your father," said Aunt Sinta confidently.

A sense of tightness filled Netra's chest. He couldn't hear that. Netra remembers the dream where Aunt Sinta and her mother had a fight. It turns out it was reality.

"Pacify yourself, Netra,"

"Rara? Wh why? Are you surprised that I, your own daughter, liked your father?" said Aunt Sinta again with more pressure Netra.

"No, I've known it before" Netra said trying to calm down.

"What's? Did that old granny tell you too?" tanya Aunty Sinta.

"No, grandma never even told me anything about my past. For my good, he said. Oh yeah, I seem to understand why aunty hates my mother and grandmother so much" Netra said.

"Tante was burning with jealousy because my father preferred to marry his mother and grandmother also agreed to it. Aunty thought that the aunt had liked my father first and thought that mother had taken him away from the aunt. But grandmother defended mother, so aunt also hated grandmother very much and considered grandmother to be unfair to aunt. Are all my deductions right?" ask Netra casually.

Aunt Sinta just fell silent while holding back her emotions.

"Ah yes and one more thing. I understand why auntie saved me. It's not just because I'm the only niece my aunt has. But because my face reminds my aunt of my father. Aunty saved me, lived with me, and felt that my father was on my aunt's side now" she continued.

"And" Netra was silent for a moment. Aunt Sinta started glancing at him.

"Another reason aunt saved me was," Netra purposely put some distance between her words.

"Tante knew the mastermind behind the shooting" Netra said.

Aunt Sinta's face showed a startled emotion. He did not expect Netra to say that. From where Netra knew of herself to where she could deduce such a thing, she thought. On the other hand the reflection in the mirror Netra also shows the same thing.
