TWELVE AND NOT STUPID BY ZURAIDAH OMAR
The short stories that i choose to read is "Twelve and not stupid by Zuraidah Omar". My first impression when i am reading this story is i feel pity to the writer who need to waited for her father for so long. Her father shouldn't left her alone for wait for him. For me,it is really dangerous for a young girl to be alone in front of the place that have so many strangers. And then, after i read more on this story i saw the character named Auntie May and i am wondering who is she? what is she doing inside the car with the writer's father?and why did the writer's father told her to lie to her mother about auntie May? Is the writer's father had a scandal with auntie May? This questions is really grind my gear. Moreover, her father also had a weird attitude which her father became a reserved and doesn't talked much with his family and relative while when he is with his friends,he became a talkative and not reserved at all. Finally i know what is going on between auntie May and the writer's father. One night, the writer's family had a family dinner and the writer's kinda surprised about their dinner guest. I am so suspicious and excited to know what happened next. Then the guest is auntie May and one young boy around ten years old named Kassim was there as the writer's family dinner guest. Kassim is actually auntie May's son and auntie May is actually the writer's uncle second wife. Now i know that they actually need the writer's family helped. And the moral that i get from this short story is not to think bad about person until we know the real story about what is really going on. And as a father, he should not to ask his children to lie. Its always better to tell the truth to everybody. So i would like to rate this story and i give 5 stars because this story is really makes we suspicious and give us lesson.
