He's my son, not my brother
Why not the same?
"Zeline, let's eat first." Naina said softly to Zeline who was still cool playing the doll given by Daniel.
Zeline shook her head without answering Naina's words.
Naina's breathing slowed down. Today his body is already quite tired of cooking quite a lot for the event later tonight. And now he was faced with his daughter who did not want to eat since morning.
"Zeline..." Naina climbed into the bed and crawled closer to her daughter. "Let's eat first. Mama's been cooking Zel's favorite food." He spoke softly while stroking his daughter's head.
"Zel Inda wants to eat Mah." Reply to Zeline without looking at Naina.
"Wouldn't eat how? Is Zel not hungry? It's been since morning Zel hasn't eaten at all." Naina's tone of voice sounded weak.
Zeline shakes her head to look at Naina's face. "Mad Ja ate it. Zel inda lapal." The reply.
Naina nibbled at the base of her nose. He chose to get back out of bed and took his cell phone lying on the nightstand. Soon the sound of an outgoing call was heard from Naina's phone.
Zeline still feels at home in her position without caring about the sound of Naina's phone ringing. Until the moment the voice she missed was heard, Zeline turned her body and crawled down to get out of bed.
"Fuck!" He exclaimed as Daniel questioned if Naina had called him. "This father!" Zeline raises her hand to ask Naina for a cell phone.
Before giving her phone to Zeline, Naina first asked Daniel to read the message he sent.
Daniel. I beg you to persuade Zeline to eat. Since morning he has not eaten because of his bad mood.
"You Papah, Mah." Zeline said because Naina hasn't given her a cell phone yet.
"It's..." Naina gives Zeline her phone.
"This father!" Zeline exclaimed after putting the phone on her earlobe.
"Zelines... Mom get out first." Naina said she intended to let her daughter talk to Daniel as she prepared food for Zeline. Naina believes that with Daniel's help, Zeline will eat the food she gives later.
And sure enough, after he returned to the room with a plate of rice in his hand, Zeline seemed eager to eat his food.
"Hurry up here, Mah. Zel wants to eat this." He said, sitting on the floor with his legs crossed.
Thanks Daniel. Inner Naina while looking at her daughter who looked so greedy eating her food.

"Sir Nai, is this sister's twin shirt with Kak Aga later?" Amara asked looking at Naina who was already wearing a kebaya on her body.
"Yes. This is the dress that Kak Aga gave me for the event tonight." Reply Naina.
"The book is so pretty." Praise Amara while paying attention to Naina's appearance from top to bottom.
"Thank you Amara." Reply Naina.
Before long Zeline appeared out of the room wearing the same patterned clothes that Naina was wearing.
"Zeline. You're wearing the same clothes as Mama." Said Amara staring anxiously at her nephew.
"Yes Nty. Mamah shul wear this." The reply was not excited.
The smile on Amara's face faded away at the lackluster look of his nephew. While Naina could only sigh at the attitude of her daughter.
Until nightfall, the look on Zeline's face was still the same as it was this afternoon. Naina can only resign to her daughter's circumstances because Naina is aware of Zeline's current attitude with regards to her show tonight.
"Kak Nai, Kak Aga's family has arrived." Amara's words made Naina immediately rise from her seat. Naina, Mom and Dad immediately walked to the front of the house to welcome the arrival of Aga.
When she saw Aga walking towards her, Naina was confused to see Aga who was not wearing the same uniform as her.
