"Welcome to our home... Uncle Vitto, Aunty Rana, Sanne and Vineet..." Gienka said as she opened the door to her house. He then let his guests in, while Kyros still parked the car in the garage.
"You're alone in a house this big???" Ask Vitto.
"Yes Uncle... Next week there is an ART coming to clean the house... If you cook, Gie will do it himself.." Answer Gienka.
"You got a nice wedding present from your parents... Must be well taken care of... "
Gienka smile. "A pretty exaggerated gift in fact... Because we don't want a big wounded house like this, it wants an ordinary apartment, which is important to be comfortable in both... But we can't resist Papa and Apap's decision... "
Vitto chuckles. "They want the best for you.. Your comfort is also important... "
"Yes Uncle... Hehe.. Let's go up to the second floor, we've prepared a room for you... Oh yes, Neet... Do you want to sleep in your own room or with Sanne?" Ask Gienka while taking them to the elevator to get to the second floor faster and do not have to tire of climbing the stairs.
"Ah no sister Gie, I'm with sister Sanne only.. It's better if there's a friend.. " Answer Vineet.
"Okay, then.. " They got into the elevator and it didn't take long, they got out. Gienka immediately showed them their room, and told them to clean up and rest.
"Oh yeah, want to rest first or have lunch??? Let Gienka get ready...." Ask Gienka.
"No need, dear.... We'll just order some food outside, we've been a lot of trouble for you... Maybe now it is better to clean and rest for a while, only after that eat... " Answer Rana.
"OK fine... You guys clean up and rest first... Gie please don't hesitate, consider this your own home... " Gienka opened the door of the guest room, and allowed them to choose the wish in this room or the next guest room.
Vitto and Rana choose the first room, while Sanne and Vineet in the next room. They also went into their own rooms. Gienka left them to rest. And back down to the first floor.
Gienka exited the elevator and headed straight for the kitchen. It turned out that Kyros had already entered and looked busy in the kitchen. Gienka smiled and approached her husband. "What are you doing???" Ask Gienka.
"Make lemon juice.. That could reduce their jetlag... " Answer Kyros.
"I just made it, but you're sprightly... Here let me just...." Gienka took the lemon in her husband's hand and clamped it down to bring out her juice. "What time are you coming back!??" Ask Gienka.
Kyros saw his watch. "Like her in a minute..."
"Why is it still here??? Get ready soon, I'll prepare lunch for you, eat before going to the office.. Let me take care of this... I've prepared your clothes on your watch case... Seoetu and her socks are also on the chair.. You just wear it... "
Kyros kissed Gienka's forehead. "You're best... Ilove you... I take a shower and get ready... " Kyros left Gienka. Gienka went on to make lemon juice for her guests. She also had time to make a peanut cake yesterday, a recipe from Kyros' grandmother, because Kyros really liked her, so she made it for Kyros and will also give the cake to her guests.
****
Gienka knocks on the door of the room, where Rana and Vitto are inside. The door was opened by Rana. "Eh Gienka dear.." Rana Saying.
Gienka smile. "Gie makes lemon juice for Aunty and Uncle, this is quite a potent eliminating jetlag... " Gienka offered a tray of two glasses of lemon juice, a small jar of peanut cake and a bowl of fruits such as fruit orchids, oranges, apples, bananas and strawberries.
"You're this... Shouldn't bother.. "
"It's okay aunty, just juice, cake and fruit..."
"Thank you, yeah... You're so sweet... "
Gienka smile. "Together Aunty... Have a good rest, hope you're here... Gie, excuse me, take this to Sanne and Vineet... "
"Yes... Again, thank you..."
Gienka nodded and uttered an excuse, then walked towards the room of Sanne and Vineet who were next door. Rana brought in the tray Gienka gave her and closed the door again.
Vineet, unpack his suitcase, and take out his clothes from inside. But he suddenly fell silent staring at something in his suitcase. Vineet took it and held it and stared at a paper that turned out to contain a photo. Vineet's eyes glazed over, and he began to cry. It always happened when he saw the photo. Photos that he always carries everywhere, a photo that means a lot to his sskali.
The sound of knocking on the door, made Vineet jump out of his daydream. He stood up and opened it. Gienka smiled at him. "This isfor you... " Say Gienka offered a tray of drinks and food.
Vineet. returned Gienka's smile. "Thanks yes brother... " Say Vineet and pick up the tray that Rana is holding. That second is also the photo that on 9egang Vineet fell. Gienka who saw it immediately bowed to pick it up
Gienka bowed and looked at the photo. A picture of a little boy, his age. Gienka knew who the boy was. He knew it from his parents. And the boy was also his childhood friend long ago.
"You brought this picture???" ask Gienka.
Vineet smiles. "Yes, I always carry it with me... "
"You must miss her so much...???" Ask Gienka again.
"Not longing anymore, I haven't had time to meet her, even I used to imagine how exciting it was to have a sister... But I can't and will never have a sister again... "
Gienka smile. "You have a lot of Neet's brother, there's Sanne, there's me, there's Kyra, there's Louis.... We are all your brothers... Wherever Naufal is, may he be blessed by God... Whether he is still in this world or if he is gone, God will always take care of him.... Whatever his condition, he must be very affectionate with you and proud, because you are the best brother he has... " Gienka said as she wiped the tears of Vineet dripping down her cheek. He deeply understood the sadness of Vineet and his parents, all this time they lived in grief. Living years without their child, who never knew how his fate would be. Gienka herself does not remember how she used to be when she became friends with Vineet's sister, because they were still too small at the time. That memory is also not so clear. He had only heard from his parents about Vineet's older brother.
The trauma experienced by the Vineet family is so deep, that both parents are quite protective of Vineet, not willing to lose for both times. Even Vineet had to ditch his dream to study abroad, because it was not allowed by his parents.
