"Are you sure you don't need to rest more?" Zein asked the Eiyuta ladies, who proclaimed they would return to their home instead of staying in the lakehouse. "I know it's not fully furnished yet, but--"
"Oh, it's not that," Ria shook her head swiftly. "It's terribly nice here, and I--we--would like to stay here sometimes, but..." she patted her daughter's arm and smiled at Zein. "Hana had to return to work."
"Ah..."
"And Grandma will grumble from loneliness," Hana added with a mischievous smile. "Although she would never admit it."
Zein chuckled as he recalled the fussy and nosy grandma who easily invited them to lunch and even gave Bassena a short cooking lesson alongside her own recipes. "Bassena said he had something for her--some ingredients, I think. Please relay it to her."
"Of course," Ria patted the younger guide with a fond smile, before a loud voice compelled her attention to the front--the lake.
