In a certain region, there was a family that had a good bond. They understood each other's situations. The family consisted of a father, a mother, three children, and three grandchildren.
One day, within that family, two of the children and one of the grandchildren gathered, chatting. The two children were named Wulan and Faiz, while the grandchild was named Ikha.
At one point, Ikha chided Faiz because the black color of his pants had faded significantly.
“Hey Uncle, why are you still wearing those pants when they look like that? You have plenty of other good pants.” Ikha asked her uncle
“Oh, just let it be. These are my favorite pants.” Faiz replied.
“Oh, is that so? Why don't you just dye them?” Ikha suggested.
“Is there really dye for pants?”
“Well, of course there is...”
“Where can I buy it?” Faiz asked, intrigued by Ikha's idea.
“I don't know, just ask Mom.” Ikha replied.
Then Ikha and Faiz headed to the shop where Wulan worked. Upon arriving at the shop, Ikha asked her mother,
“Mom, do you know where they sell Wantek?”
“Of course I know. How could you not know? It's the one at the intersection before entering our village.” Wulan explained.
“I don't think there's anything there, Mom...” Ikha said, confused by Wulan's explanation.
“Who actually needs to go there?”
“Me, Sis.” Faiz replied.
“Alright then. I'll take you there. And Ikha, can you watch Mom's shop for a bit, okay?”
Finally, Faiz and Wulan hurried to the place Wulan said sold Wantek. Upon arriving, Faiz was confused and stood silently, thinking for a moment.
“Faiz! Why are you just standing there? This is the place.” Wulan asked, surprised to see her brother silent.
“Are you sure this is the place, Sis?” Faiz asked, seeking confirmation.
“Yes, Iz. Go on in.”
“Do you know what this place is called, Sis?”
“Of course I know, Iz. It's an internet cafe, right?”
“Yes, Sis. But what I meant earlier at home wasn't an internet cafe, it was Wantek.”
“Hahaha, my mistake then. I don't know about that one, Iz.”
