THE STAR OF HEAVEN

PART 33

Many people think that family time is trivial or not too important. There are a lot of families out there who think that way. They don't know that this is really important. Family time can be the key to the success of a harmonious family.

It was always held by Ardhi and Aya. They always gather with their children. Lean and Ina are currently in Jakarta

Barbeque parties are a theme that Ardhi always chooses because in addition to all his children who are mostly men are very fond of meat, when eating is also a time to gather and get closer to each other

Aya notices Zalynda chatting with Ina while preparing dessert for a small barbeque party in the garden next to Al Farobi's family home

"This is Ina bring ya sis." Ina said while lifting a tray of watermelon that had been cut into pieces. Lean who saw him immediately approached him

"Here, the brother who brought. Where are you gonna put Na?"

"At the table there bang. Want all Ina stacking." Ina said as she walked following Lean

Zalynda smiled watching the interaction of the two. In the past Lean seemed a little flamboyant, indifferent and many women around him. But with Ina, Lean looks more loyal, mature and looks more patient

It may be true that crocodiles have met with their handlers will occur submissive and obedient

Zalynda looked towards Ray who was grilling meat and vegetables. Feeling noticed, Ray looked towards Zalynda.

Zalynda immediately lowered her head because she was caught watching Ray. Ray smiled broadly at the red hue of Zalynda's face

And all of that was caught by Aya's eyes. Aya walked over to Zalynda who was now cutting mangoes

"You're smart to cut fruits, too. Neat." Praise Aya when you see the Zalynda cut

"Eh madam.."

Zalynda shifted her seat, giving a place to Aya. He began to peel and cut the fruit. Zalynda noticed the results of Aya's piece. Suddenly Zalynda remembered the provisions that Ray had given.

"Is yesterday Ray's mother's stock?" Zalynda Whisperers

"You learned to cook with your mother, Za?" Aya's question broke the silence

Zalynda shook her head softly "I taught myself, madam."

"Ooh, wow, great you. What kind of work did your mother do?"

"You haven't been around since Za was 8."

"Oh, sorry.."

"If it's your father?"

Zalynda bit her lip, confused as to what she was about to say. The shadow of the illegitimate child's words flashed through his mind.

Seeing that Zalynda was silent, Aya did not continue. Aya slightly regretted asking a question that seemed to offend the girl in front of her

"Let's go there, Za. I think it's in the food." Take Aya while carrying the fruit of the pieces. Zalynda complied and followed Aya towards the long table provided outside

Lean and Ray's grills look appetizing. After reading the prayer led by Ardhi, they began to enjoy the dish while conversing

"Eh brother Za, this Ray bang has a talent that descends from your mother you know." Said Ina suddenly while glancing towards Ray

"Na, you don't want to ah." Said Ray while glaring slightly at Ina.

"What talent?"

"Singing while playing guitar. Yan, pinjem guitar elo." Ina said while asking for the guitar that Ian was picking

"Ah I also have a talent for guitar metic. Want to hear, Brother Za?" Ask Ian

"Don't brother. Bang Ian falsified his voice." Ejek Endra who was immediately thrown pieces of watermelon by Ian

"Don't waste food." Reprimand Ardhi while looking at Ian sharply. Ian immediately stopped his activity pelting Endra.

"Come on Ray, you can all learn to fight." Lean said with a laugh

"Hmm, I learned to fight girls from Elo deh Ndre." Reply Ray flat. Lean immediately coughed while staring at Ina who was also directly staring at him

"No, Na. You never fight girls." Said Lean quickly, worried that Ina was wrong. Ina laughed at Lean's behavior

"Yes, Ina believes the same. Bang Ray don't fish in murky water huh. Let's try singing a song for Brother Za."

Ray finally accepts Ina's request. Ray picks up Ian's guitar and starts strumming it

You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged, oh I realize

It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

The darkness inside you

Can make you feel so small

Zalynda was stunned to hear the lyrics to Ray's song. Ray was still strumming his guitar as he continued to stare gently at Zalynda as if talking to the girl

Show me a smile then

Can't remember when

I last saw you laughing

This world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

Just call me up

'Cause I will always be there

And I see your true colors

Shining through's

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful

Ina also started singing while holding Lean's hand. Lean smiled and kissed the back of Ina's hand

I see your true colors

Shining through (true colors)

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful (they're beautiful)

Aya notices the interaction between Ray and Zalynda. Aya feels the relationship between the two is like exceeding the relationship in general. Looks like Ina and Lean's interaction, considering Ray does not arbitrarily interact with women

Like a rainbow

Oh oh oh oh oh like a rainbow

Ooh can't remember when

I last saw you laughing

Ooh oh oh oh oh oh

This world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

Just call me up

'Cause I will always be there

And I see your true colors

Shining through's

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid (don't be afraid)

To let them show your true colors

True colors are beautiful (you're beautiful, oh)

Ray finished the song. Endra and Ian clapped loudly. Ray's view still leads to Zalynda. The girl bowed

In his heart, Zalynda thanked Ray. Through the song, as if Ray encouraged Zalynda to dare to be herself, dare to show who she really is. Being yourself is not the self-image that others want.

Zalynda looked up at Ray who was sitting opposite her. The girl smiled sweetly towards Ray

"Thank you.." Zalynda said those words without making a sound. Only his lips formed that chain of words

Ray smiled as he nodded and replied to Zalynda's words

"I love you.."

Zalynda rounded her eyes and lowered her head with a blushing face. Ray chuckled slightly at the reaction of his beloved woman

And it all can not be separated from the observation of Aya
