Mai looked up at the sky. The sky in Bandung looks clearer than in Jakarta, maybe because in Jakarta the sky is already contaminated with pollution.
Mai could see the moon and stars around her. She remembered that when she was a child she loved to look at the stars, sometimes she even slept on the grass while looking at the stars in the sky. She imagined what it would be like to be in outer space. A feeling of dread, mysterious but also pleasant.
Her friends are preparing a barbecue party this is just a fish and chicken cooking event for dinner. They gathered in the side yard, by the pool.
Mai, accompanied by Ivani and Nica, went to Aunt Puspa's house this afternoon. Aunt Puspa wanted her to stay for dinner but Mai refused. Mai just took a few items from her mother and of course chatted for a while.
