ANDI LUKMAN HAKIM
DEAREST

Furqan was visiting his grandchildren, namely Amin and Aminah, the man was already 45 years old and the visual increasingly looks handsome and dashing. Coincidentally the day was a holiday, so they were all at home, until this time his uncle Andi was still alone. His face that day looked tired and desperate, his smile only made up in front of his grandchildren. Andi caught the change in his uncle, just last week they met, so the change was obvious and there must be something serious going on. Andi knew that his uncle would not tell him when asked, he was just looking for an escape to have fun with his children.

"Grandfather why??" Amin and Mina asked together, also feeling the unease within Furqan. The four of them were sitting on the living room floor, playing Ludo boards, while Amel was in the kitchen baking cookies.

"Why not" Pinched the cheeks of his two grandchildren, feeling the jubilation of hearing the two of them worrying about him and talking together.

"lik! Grandfather's face was clear once there was a problem" said Amin bluntly, making Furqan hold his face and glanced at Andi who was laughing amusedly.

"Don't you see the girl next to Grandpa ?" Whisper Mina into the ears of her brother, who Amin responded with a ring, Andi saw them and rebuked them, not polite whispers so and in reply Mina with a grin.

Mina kept glancing at the woman, who she saw beside Furqan, Andi also occasionally glanced at her uncle.

The game ended when Amel brought a freshly baked cake, they were engrossed in eating a still-warm cake, with milk while the parents drank soda.

" Cake, Mina, have you never seen Grandma??" Suddenly the boy opened the conversation, all of them staring at Mina in shock. Andi grimaced to his uncle, even he himself never dared to ask.

After overcoming his shock, he smiled.

"Grandmother is in a bad place" Furqan replied, as her hands demonstrated the plane taking off. Amin and Mina thought that her grandfather's intention was, their grandmother was dead, while Andi was unemployed that she was unreachable, because she had heard that her uncle was looking for a woman.

"Pity, when it seems like there is something grandma wants to say" said Mina keceplosan, making others look at him confused. Then the woman who had noticed and followed Furqan, suddenly looked at Mina and slowly approached her. Strangely the boy did not feel afraid, but he felt he already knew the woman and felt familiar. After they close together, Mina realizes that the woman is much younger, like her mother. Then he looked at his grandfather, they looked at each other, Furqan looked at Mina with question marks.

"Grandmother is very beautiful" Mina told the woman.

Furqan thought her granddaughter was talking to him, which was impossible for the little boy to know that his dearest was so beautiful.
