In the afternoon, the extended family gathers in the large yard of the house.
The atmosphere felt warm even though the sun was starting to set. Children run around happily, playing ball or chasing each other while laughing. Several parents sat on the terrace chatting, enjoying hot tea and light snacks.
There are also those who are picking fruit from the guava or mango trees that grow in the yard. At the large dining table, simple dishes were prepared, such as fried rice, chicken satay, and various types of traditional cakes. The aroma of delicious food filled the air, making the atmosphere even more lively.
Laughter and warm conversations could be heard from every corner of the house, while the lights started to turn on, giving the impression of peace and togetherness. In another corner, grandparents sit with their grandchildren, telling old stories and reminiscing about childhood.
The atmosphere of this afternoon, which was full of intimacy and togetherness, felt very touching. Even though everyone is often busy, this afternoon is a precious moment to re-strengthen the relationships of a large, loving family.
