Today I had guests from the city of Malang, my older sister and her son, my brother-in-law and his younger brother and also my cousin. Coincidentally, today is the Nyepi holiday, so many shops are closed. They decided to go on holiday to the city of Surabaya. My brother-in-law is known as someone who is strict and doesn't like children. My older sister can't get pregnant anymore because her uterus was removed during a previous cyst operation. So my older sister and her husband couldn't have children, so she adopted an older child. My brother in law's relationship with his son is not very good. He was very cold to his son. Even known for being stingy.

My older sister and I are very close. I often stop by my older sister's house when I'm still in Malang city, we often spend time together. My son is a cheerful and sociable person. He does not hesitate to get to know new people. Most of my nieces and nephews would be afraid of my brother-in-law, because of his strict personality. But not my son. He still ask my brother-in-law to play and chat, even though he is known to be cold. At first, he didn't like doing activities with my son, but over time, my son became his favorite nephew. If he didn't stop by there, He would always ask. They quickly get along very well and joke around with each other. My mother was surprised. My brother-in-law, who is rarely seen laughing, can laugh out loud with my son. See, sincere love can melt a stiff and cold person. Children are like plain canvases, what you draw is what they become. If you teach your child to hate, then that's what happens.
