He's my son, not my brother
Grandpa Alexander
"It's a tantik.. It's a tantik, too..." Zeline pointed at some of her dresses that she took out of her closet. Her index finger then tapped her forehead as if thinking which dress was better.
"Tantik all. Zel tuh's confusion!" Zeline ruffled waist. Feeling bad cannot drop the choice on a dress that looks prettier in his eyes.
The sound of the door squealing as a result of being pushed by Naina made Zeline turn her eyes to the door that was now open.
"Zeline... Why haven't you used a singlet yet?" Naina's two eyeballs fiddled at the sight of her daughter still wearing a towel wrapped around her body with her hands tracing her waist. "Zeline.." Naina's head shook her head at the number of Zeline's dresses that were now scattered on the floor.
"Where is this beauty, right? Confused Zel tuh." Ask without answering Naina's question.
"All the dresses are beautiful. What did Zel ask for?" Naina's forehead shriveled. Closer to his daughter who is still around his waist.
"To wear tonight to meet Tak Niel." The reply put on a sour face.
"Zeline..." Naina could only shake her head. "Now reinsert the dress because Brother has prepared a dress for Zel to wear." Naina said softly.
"Where?" Both Zeline's eyes sparkled.
"Put in the dress first and Brother will show it."
"Yes, yeah." Zeline hurriedly put her dresses back in the closet.
Naina walked up to her closet and pulled out a new-looking child's dress.
"Here we go." Naina said as she lifted the dress in her hand.
"The beauty..." Zeline hurriedly walked towards Naina then took her dress. "This hammer, isn't it?" Ask Zeline.
Naina nodded and smiled. "Sister just bought it after payday yesterday. Now let's put on the singlet. Brother Daniel will be here soon." Naina's words were taken by Zeline.

The roar of the car engine that was heard in front of her house made Naina's heart beat faster. Naina straightened her body. Looking at the mother who was smiling at him.
"Non't that Niel, Mom?" Ask Zeline who just came out of Amara's room.
"It looks so." Said the mother who was about to get out of her house.
Zeline ran out of her house without waiting for Mom.
His tiny legs ran towards Daniel and hugged Daniel by his tiny hands. "The devil came too." he said so gladly.
Daniel stroked Zeline's head fondly. "Have you been waiting for Brother's arrival?" Ask Daniel.
Zeline nodded innocently. "his length... Zel till this sleepy." His sister. Raised his head until his eyes met Daniel's eyes.
"Zeline.." Mama Hasna's soft voice managed to take Zeline's eyes off Daniel.
"Grandmother? Grandma's playing here too?" Ask with perfectly rounded eyes.
Mama Hasna nodded. "Just like Grandpa too." He pointed to Papa Alexander.
Zeline followed the view of Mama Hasna until now she can see a figure that almost describes the figure of Daniel.
Papa Alexander smiled faintly returning Zeline's gaze.
"This grandfather?" Ask in a frightened tone.
"Yes. Let's salim first with Grandpa." Say Mama Hasna.
Zeline nodded. His little hand was off Daniel's feet.
"Aulelia Zeline here." she said introducing herself after peeping Papa Alexander's hand.
The smile on Papa Alexander's face grew. Her hands stretched out stroking Zeline's blonde hair. "Grandfather Alexander." His words introduced themselves.
"Grandfather Alex.." repeated Zeline's shy smile.
"From now on the name Zeline is not Aurelia Zeline. But Aurelia Zeline Alexander." Papa Alexander.
"Why changed Grandpa?" Asked Zeline with a shriveled forehead.
