Burhan Said~ Residence
The sound of the friction of spoons and forks was heard in tandem with small twangs produced in the dining room of the Said family who are now doing dinner together.
Only this time a small family can be united in a dining table that is always only occupied by Weva only because of the busyness of both parents.
Weva looks smiling staring one by one the people he loves are in front of him. Although both of her parents seem busy with her phone, but at least tonight Weva is not alone.
This night is a little different from the night before. Tonight there's Mommy, Papi and if Kak Wevo and this is what makes Weva so happy.
Weva still remembers the last time she had dinner together like this. About the time Weva was in elementary school, it was quite a long time ago.
Luxurious and special dishes are clearly displayed on a luxurious dining table accompanied by servants who are ready to serve their hosts.
"Good to enjoy, Non Weva," said Mbok Rosi who put fruits on the table while looking at Weva who seemed to nod.
It looks like Mbok Rosi is also aware of what he is now feeling. Mbok Rosi is already like a family to Weva, so there is no doubt what he knows about Weva even honestly Mbok Rosi knows Weva better than Mita, Mommy Weva.
"Thank you, Mbok."
Mbok Rosi nodded then he stepped up and stood right behind Weva. Stand by if Weva needs anything.
Now the dinner is going on and both eyes of Mita who has been staring at the screen phone now glanced at Weva.
Mita stopped her chewing when Weva was clearly so voraciously chewing food on her plate that it looked full of side dishes available tonight. Well, Weva's appetite is increasing day by day.
Mita glanced at her husband who was also staring at Weva. Burhan stopped his chewing and followed by looking at Mita who was staring at him for a moment with a face that looked uncomfortable.
Wevo who felt something strange began to stop eating. He stared silently at Mita and Burhan who were now looking at each other and then looked at Weva who seemed unconscious had become the center of the spectacle of his parents.
Wevo sighed. Maybe Weva forgot to shrink the sound of chewing and also he seemed to forget to reduce the portion of his meal.
"Yes!" calling Mita made the family turn to look at Mita and Weva in turn.
Weva stopped moving her unrelenting hand to feed her mouth which she always asked to be bribed with food.
Weva glanced at Mommy, Papi and Wevo who were now looking at him. Weva was just now if she was the only one eating.
"Why?" ask Weva.
"Can't you eat by the rules?"
Weva frowned in wonder. He doesn't understand what Mita is saying.
"Mommy doesn't like you eating like that" Mita scolds, making Wevo and Burhan look at each other.
"You know what, you're like a starving person."
"You are no different than children who live on the side of the road who can eat," added Mita.
Weva blinked her eyes several times as if she had not expected, if her Mommy would say such a sentence. Weva was downcast trying to digest her Mommy words that sounded a bit unpleasant.
"Mom, you can't talk like that, dong same Weva," Burhan whispered.
Burhan just did not want to make the heart of his only daughter was offended by Mita's words.
"What, anyway, Pi? Mommy was just talking about what Mommy saw. This is part of the reality" Mita said in self-defense.
"Yes, Papi knows, but, it's Mommy-"
"Come, Pi! Lagian Mommy is also surprised, how can weva have a fat body like gini? Why can't Weva have a slim body like A-yeong?"
"Mommy!" burhan Tegur.
"Well, it is, Pi. Right, that's what Mommy said. Try Weva slim like his cousin, maybe Weva will invite Mommy also to join the family."
Unaware of the tears Weva dripped about the food that was still not finished. How upset his Mommy was.
How could her Mommy equate Weva with her own cousin, A-yeong. It felt Weva was very embarrassed plus the servants who were looking at him so seriously. It was clear that the servants were talking about it in their minds and it was certain that they would make gosipan in the kitchen.
This is not a guess, but Weva has often heard the servants talk bad things about her. Especially if you are in the kitchen. The chefs will gossip about what Weva ordered.
"Why, it's not just A-yeong who is a beautiful, smart and slim Mommy child."
"Not like Weva. Ugly, fat, not smart-style"
Weva closed her eyes tightly. His chest ached as if a sharp object was piercing him so deeply. It hurts!
Weva got up from the chair making Mita, Burhan and Wevo look up at Weva.
Weva immediately stepped away from the dining table making both of Mita's eyes rounded. Burhan patted his eel, it seemed like there was going to be a commotion again.
"Where are you going?!!" yell Mita.
Weva stopped his steps. He tried to hold back his cries so as not to break here.
"We-we-weva is full" Weva replied without looking at her Mommy and immediately stepped away from the dinner table.
"What?"
"Like that you talk to Mommy?!!"
"Weva your food is not finished yet!!!"
Weva didn't stop her steps. He still stepped away ignoring the blind screams of Mita back there.
"Weva stop!!!" yell Mita.
Bruaks
A loud voice rang out behind Weva, it was obvious that Mita threw her spoon and fork at the dinner table.
"Broody brash. Look, Pi! Weva is different from A-yeong who has ethics," the rant was heard back there making Weva who was still stepping was biting her lips trying to hold back her crying.
Upon Weva's arrival in the room, he immediately closed the door with a heart-wrenching cry. Weva was crying so it made no difference what she did yesterday after school.
She rubbed her hair with heavy pressure back. He looked up at the ceiling of his room with a blurry look.
This was the rebuke Mita gave her. A scorching and hurtful reprimand.
Nobody loves this fat girl, nobody.
Weva's crying voice came to a halt when she found her phone ringing the sign of an incoming call. Weva found Wiwi's name there.
Weva took a breath and immediately rubbed a trace of sadness on her cheek and smilingly stared at her phone screen.
"Hay, Wev!" sapa Wiwi is excited while holding a yellow sportswear.
"Wev, you're ready yet clothes that you want to wear tomorrow?"
"Look I'm ready for tomorrow's shirt, but it doesn't fit, does it, Wev?" asked Wiwi while likening himself to his sports clothes.
"Wev, I also have a head binder, uh, what, what's the name?"
"Bando" Weva replied, trying to smile.
"Oh yeah bando, eh right? Ah not times, ah whatever, but we're the same, well let's be compact." Oceh Wiwi endlessly made Weva laugh.
It feels that only makes Weva smile and feel happy only Wiwi, oh yes and also Bobo, his beloved dog who is now on his thighs.
