Es teh and sugar consumtion

I just dont believe how quickly this year fly away. 💔

 So, whats the update today?

well, most recent trending topic today is someone got legal notice from one drink corporate because his tweet.

this drink called chizu red velvet. This man, tweet how sweet this drink and it make children got diabet sooner. 

I totally agree with this man. 

Actually, i had drink this twice, first when i got FOMO and the second is when i really need sugar after flood hardwork. When i drink this, i cannot consume all in 1 porsion. I used to shared with my husband and ofcourse a lot of drink after that. This drink, in my opinion, Its sweetest drink i ever taste in the world. It is sweet, thick and heavy. And i cant imagine what kind people who can drink this in one day in one portion. 

Because of this trending, I just realise how indonesia people can eat a lot of sugar in one day. And i pretty sure, all we are just cap the climax for sugar consumtions. 

I had searching how many stall selling drink like 'Es Teh Indonesia' in my neighborhood. I got less than 200 meters, we have 3 drink stall in our neighborhood. 

 My interest in this old lady was keenly impasioned. Not something romantic relationship but interest to her story, background or something simple like life lesson. Although always polite in returning my greetings, she never talk more about her more than ask where will i go. She is not rude, friendly enough but i dont have enough brave to ask her more. To all villagers, she did the same way she talk to me. Noone exactly knowing her. just some rumours spread all the time. Mostly is a good rumours. 

I was walking home one afternoon from the convenience store, I was going to buy milk and bread, when I heard a slight sound behind me dragging footsteps. Under the sunset, I saw her, walking alone. She stopped walking after reaching me and started a conversation. After some short conversation about my chili plant, was planted 3 weeks ago, she started some word feel mumbling. 

"This village was changed" 

"how?"

" I still remember what this look like when i first come here"

"What is look like?"

I answered her tried to avoid sound too excited. 

"what i need in that time. Calm and noone asked me more"

She continued 

"After i lost my husband and most of my family, i need new life. No more memories, far away from there"

"Whats happen?"

"Spanish flu, he is lovely husband, charming man. I was happy wife, waiting our first child and he just be appointed employee"

She took a deep breath and stop walk for a while. 

I showed interest for the part her deep breath. 

"I was broke and  broken"

"My child died before he was born. I gave him name Darmono"

"I was grieve longer"

 Some years ago, it was my habit to spend the long vacation in a quiet Magelang village, not far from Borobudur, the well known buddhist temple. I choose this spot for it deafening and peacefully. 

It that time, i just wonder how my life will be.
