"Eh, what's Neng Bule going to buy?"
Vay smiles to get a friendly welcome from the owner of the vegetable shop who happens to be the mother of the owner.
"I want to buy..." Vay. The typical amber eyes of the bule stared one by one the vegetable shelves were not full anymore because the day was already noon.
What should he cook? This will be my first time in the kitchen. As the son of a conglomerate, he was always in service. So, when this is difficult, Vay can only scratch his head.
"Neng wants to cook?" ask Juleha's mother.
Vay nodded his head while smiling awkwardly.
"What cooking, Neng?" repeat the Mother.
He couldn't answer, cook meat, right? In short, the money is just a pasan.
Tempe, you know, a kale oseng? Vay grimacing. The life of the same husband from the upper class, would be strange on the menu.
" Neng's... "
Vay tipped from his daydream got a soft pat on his shoulder from Juleha's mother.
"Don't daydream. What would you buy? In the afternoon, mother's trading is a little. Next time, it's morning, Neng. In the fridge there is fish. Wanna?"
The fishes? Well, it was quite nutritious for her husband.
"I want the fish, Mom. Just two tails. Same with one tie. So what's the spice?" Vay kind of asked himself about plants.
Juleha's mother smiled slightly. The motion of this beautiful woman is indeed very legible if it is still foreign things smell of the kitchen. Because of pity, Mother Juleha helped him tell what spices need to be prepared for fried fish according to Vay's words that will be fried only the fish. Not to forget, oseng kale oyster sauce too, the mother explained in detail. Vay records it well on a scrap of paper that was inked on Juleha's mother.
Alhamdulillah ... Can a friendly and unsavory contract mother. Vay is grateful in his heart.
"Everything you want to ask, Neng?"
"Nothing, Mom."
"Surely able?" Juleha's mother still hesitated.
Vay smiled shyly. Honestly, he's a little confused. For some people, cooking is easy. For those who usually do. To him...? Hah .. if he knew of his bitter fate, he first studied at Bi Tina - his family's loyal assistant.
"After mommy runs a few in the stall, I'm into your contract. Ngajarin. That's if Eneng permits mother."
"You want Mom." Vay answered enthusiastically. "Hehehe... Sorry Vay, Mom. Ngerepotin." Vay tipped with a crybaby for not feeling good.
"Look easy."
"Okay, I went back first, Mom. Assalamualaikum."
"Waalaikumsalam salam."
Arriving at his rented, Vay rushed to wash the kale and seasonings that he would slice later. While waiting for Mother Juleha, Vay picked the vegetables. Let it be later, the mother stayed in the cooking way. If the fish, smelling its fishy smell alone, he is reluctant to touch it. Today, he really will trouble Juleha's mother because she intends to teach him to clean the right fish so that the fishy taste is completely lost.
Tok...
Thank God, it must be Mom. Gegas Vay opens the door, and Juleha's mother smiles at him.
"Duh, Neng. Sorry mom, I am here to tell you that I did not teach Neng Bule to cook today. Mother's granddaughter again sick and fussy Neng. Her mother was also sick, so she was told to go there. Sorry, Neng?"
Juleha's mother said she was full of bad taste.
" It's okay, Mom. I understand that." In order to make Mother Juleha's heart innocent of breaking her promise, Vay also widened her sweet smile. "May the mother's children and grandchildren be cured soon."
"Amen." Juleha's mother immediately answered Vay's good prayer. "Gini deh, while I wait for the ojol order to come, I help you for a moment."
Vay agreed. The stove was immediately ignited by Vay. Fortunately, he had already cut the kale first and the roof had been sliced, so only oseng left. Vay was very attentive to learning to cook the show. At this time, oseng also so that according to Vay it feels good because the right teaching of the Mother who said not to be too over cooking it.
"Eh, Vay. The bulge is already ahead. Mom went yes. The fish are still. Surely you can. Assalamualaikum."
Finished greeting Juleha's mother and the thin hijab-wearing woman had left, Vay grimaced while staring at the fish that was still in the plastic.
Toturial he watched while practicing it, but what he saw was difficult to show by his stupid hand who had just first executed the fish. As a result, the smooth hand was injured due to the sharpness of the fin.
Although it took a struggle, he finally finished cleaning it. The pain that was pierced by sharp fins plus got a sharp puncture of the knife, ignored by Vay. For almost an hour, he cleaned the fish and he did not want to, Lightning came home without being greeted with food. That's why he hunted him.
"Say the story save whistles that have been heard, if the cook is not manyun, let it taste delicious. Vice versa. So, let's sing while you cook Vay. Asihaa..."
After lowering the fish to the frying pan, Vay kicked with a frying spatula he used as his mic.
When I look at the stars flickering far away there
I heard the melody of love echoing
I feel the joy of my young soul
Because touched by the song semerdu fried fish. Uh, semerdu coffee dangdut.
Vay patted his head for the wrong lyrics at the end of his sentence. Given that he did not get a job today, Vay entertained himself in his own way. His father thought he would be sad and give up? It won't! As long as Lightning unites as the queen of her heart, she will faithfully stay in this place. Let him be blessed with people outside there with the example of the phrase provocation, 'Emang lo full of eating love?' It is not full, but having love and gratitude that has no limits is its own pride. Life is a choice, right?
"Well, is this ruined?"
Plecikkp...
"Aww..." Vay complained while away from the stove. Just then, as he flipped his sticky fish over, a splash of hot oil hit the back of his hand. But for a second, he did not care about the heat anymore. What he was worried about was the shape of his crushed fish. Where's the other side hut.
Vay's disappointed. She pouted bete because she felt she was an ill-tempered wife.
"Assynn...!"
Duh, how's this? Her husband's voice began to sound greeting.
Even his footsteps were approaching. Vay was disappointed. Surely, her husband is hungry, while he can not serve food that is pleasant to see.
"Mom... Fragrant, Vay." Lightning sniffed like a cat. His body that feels sore evaporated replaced stomach rumbling smell the delicious fried fish.
"Bag a shower first, yeah. We will eat together." Lightning until he forgets that his appearance is dirty, Vay must not see first. Fortunately his wife was still busy turning her back so he could escape quickly into the bathroom which happened to be close to the kitchen. Lightning does not want to make Vay sad if his S2 diploma is not useful at this time.
"Is this worth serving?" his monologue while staring at the crushed fried fish.
Chequek... So busy daydreaming, the sound of the bathroom door open accompanied by the aroma of bath soap. Her husband had finished his bath.
"I missed you!" Lightning hugged Vay from behind. "Let's eat!"
"But..." Vay pointed to his ruined cuisine. And Lightning realized that his wife was sad. He immediately understood when he saw the fish on the plate.
Straight away, Lightning's eyes were also in the hands of Vay who was scuffed. His wife had worked hard to learn to cook. Nah! He would not make this face of his encouragement bend deeply. Every hard work should be appreciated. Therefore, Lightning immediately pulled out a plate that already contained rice. Not forgetting the two side dishes he entered.
Vay raised her sad face, her husband was so greedy to eat her cooking. Is delicious? Definitely not! Crushed and a little charred half.
"Sorry__"
"Aaaa.. open your mouth!"
Vay. Her husband wanted to bribe her.
"Although the fish is ruined, but it tastes good, Vay. Try...!"
Vay according. His eyes were glazed with pure glass as he received a bribe from Lightning. Her husband greatly appreciated her efforts.
"Enak right? Poh... How crying?" Lightning confusion. His wife even shed tears without any sobs.
"It's haru's tears, Bang. During yesterday's luxurious life, no food tasted good other than your first mouthful."
"Then let's eat again." Lightning smile. And back to eating together in one plate.
This new couple understands each other has strengthened without any complaint on each other's lips.
