Shame or Starving?

"Believe meek talk to the woman far better than sweet talk."

"It turns out baby Jane has already considered Tar as her mother." Grandma saw and heard baby Jane calling Tary as mama in baby language.

"The bill that my grandmother said, but she didn't want to be called mama by baby Jane's grandma."

"Is that really Tar?"

"Who said kayak is that Grandma?"

"You said you were like me."

"When did I say it was like you?"

"There was that time." Zainel spoke while looking at Tary.

"Then anyway? but I don't remember."

"Switch, don't pretend to forget." Zainel spoke while climbing up next to his eyebrows.

"I don't forget, I don't remember."

"Ah, forgetting is the same don't remember it is the same." Zainel was so frustrated that she pulled her hair back.

"Why are you still here?let's get inside the house." Grandpa just came out of the bathroom hearing a noise so he walked over to them. Grandpa was at the door of the rented house.

"Eh there's grandfather, here we're coming in, too." Zainel took a step closer to grandfather and then he slapped the back of his hand.

They were already sitting on the floor with mats in the living room.

"Tar just put baby Jane on this pillow." Grandma gave Tary a pillow.

"Yes grandma." Tary took the pillow that grandma gave Tary put a pillow on the mat. Tary put baby Jane on the pillow.

Not a minute Tary put baby Jane on the pillow baby Jane was crying.

"Baby Jane doesn't want to be put on a pillow." Tary's back with baby Jane.

"It looks like baby Jane's already bawled Tar."

"Yes grandma."

"So how was dinner with her?" Grandfather spoke while looking at Tary.

"Well, you get rice and side dishes for me." Grandma had held an empty plate and grandma filled rice into the plate.

"The rice is enough." Grandpa saw grandma who was about to add rice to the plate, Grandpa immediately told grandma not to add rice again because grandfather felt it was enough.

"It's dad." Grandma gave the dishes that already had rice and side dishes to grandfather.

"Thank you mother, you also get Zainel."Grandpa took the plate that was in Grandma's hand.

" Don't let grandma take it myself."Zainel felt bad for grandma so she refused grandma to take food for her.

Their plate was filled with food and they read the prayer before eating first led by grandfather . They began to eat quietly without any sound only heard the clang of a spoon inside the plate.

Seeing them eating made Tary's stomach rumble make a sound.

Crew........Crew

They heard a rumbling sound from the stomach, they turned to the direction of the sound. They found that the sound came from Tary's stomach.

"Are you hungry?"Zainel turned to look at Tary.

"It's a pulpwood sandalwood, already know asking pulak." Tary spoke grumblingly to Zainel.

"Do you want me to bribe you?"

"Don't want to." Tary shook her head.

"Why don't you want to?"

"I'm ashamed."

"Do you want to be ashamed or starving?"

"Tar was willing to take Zainel's bribe instead of starvation."Grandma persuades Tary to be bribed by Zainel.

"You better eat in bribe with Zainel than you starve." Grandfather also coaxed Tary to eat at a bribe by Zainel.

Tary fell silent while thinking about the words of grandfather and grandmother. Tary also feels hungry because Tary has not had dinner with two choices that make her confused. If Tary wants to be bribed by Zainel to eat he will feel embarrassed because he was seen by grandparents. But if Tary doesn't want to be bribed by Zainel, he's going hungry.

What do you think Readers did Tary choose?
