Ai, Love Me
Eps 72, Warmth to the Village

Johan entered the living room of the house along with Callysta and 3 friends. At that time Johan's face began to blush because he was the only one who was in a room full of women younger than him.

“what's your boyfriend?” ask one of Callysta's friends.

“bu-no, only kasut” Johan said.

“ehh, so now you are single?” ask one of Callysta's parks to Johan.

“yaahh, it's a pity, replied Johan.

“I thought you were Callysta's girlfriend. As long as you know, Callysta if at school, he really anti with men. He even stayed away from men. Just this time I saw Callysta can be familiar with men” is obviously wrong friend Callysta.

“ja-don't say that in front of Johan, make malu” says Callysta.

“ehh, his face reddened” said one of Callysta's friends heading towards Callysta's face that began to blush.

“ki-we have nothing to do with him. I'm just gonna teach him how to cook. His face told me to teach him to cook today. So, sorry you have borrowed Callysta briefly” said Johan.

“gapapa really, even we also want to learn to cook” replied the three of them.

“you just need to listen to me and see me while cooking. Another day you can practice by yourself” explained Johan.

“baik” answer them all.

“btw, what class are you in?” ask Callysta's friend to Johan.

“aku? I am still in High School, I am just 16 years old and will be 17 years” replied Johan.

“the four of us are still 15 years old and the four of us are still Junior High. So, you're our senior” obviously Callysta's friend.

“whatever you guys think of me as. To be sure, have you ever tasted Callysta before?” ask Johan.

“ever” replied the three of them.

“how does it feel?” ask Johan.

“taste, like you became ironman” replied one of Callysta's friends followed by the laughter of them all.

“ really destroyed isn't it?” ask Johan back.

“iya” answer them all.

“so, I just tried to fix Callysta's cooking. And the result is good. You can try Callysta cuisine that I have improvised” explained Johan.

“ba-baik” answer them all.

One by one they all tasted the food that Johan brought. All of them were stunned and amazed by what Johan brought. Gawking was an expression that described how shocked they would be to Johan's cooking.

“wooaaahhhh, this is delicious buangggeettt parahhhh” said they all.

“right? Then I will practice a very simple cuisine for you. You may also want to cook for yourself. I will also provide tips and tricks to make it easier to cook” explained Johan.

“then, how about we quickly go to the kitchen. I can't wait” said Callysta.

“hmm, baik” answer them all simultaneously.

They all start to see Johan preparing all the ingredients. Johan tied his aprons and started peeling the onion skin so quickly. Johan did it all himself so quickly.

They took Johan very seriously. For a full 30 minutes, Johan completed more than 4 meals. Johan cooks fried rice, mushroom stews, kale vegetables, bakmie java, and some other fried foods.

During that time, they only saw the back of Johan who was busy cooking. They can only see Johan's working hand and hear Johan's voice of instruction.

“so, tips when you want to cook mushrooms, make sure not exposed to water or mushrooms you will shrink when cooked and will remove the distinctive aroma of the mushroom”

“and also if you cook kale, do not wear too much oyster sauce. Estimate enough. If it is too much, it is afraid that it will become too fishy. If it is already, add brown sugar or just sweet soy sauce to slightly neutralize the fishy aroma of the”

“make sure do not remove oil that has just been used to fry onions. Because the aroma of onions has been mixed into one in the oil. So if you are cooking a certain fried food and you want to get the sensation of the onion scent, use that oil”

“be careful when holding knife”

“give a little water if you guys taste the stew is too salty”

“api that is too big will make the mature parts imperfect. Especially directly in contact with the pan. Make sure if you fry the eggs, the fire is not too big. But if it's just to boil water, it's up to you”

All the instructions Johan had given so dense and clear that they all understood and understood the points conveyed by Johan.

“btw, where can you cook from? Are you a cooking school?” ask one of Callysta's friends.

“i used to live in the village. I often helped my grandmother cook. I can say that all my family members can cook. Even all my family members are smarter than me. Therefore, until now I still remember all the teachings of all of them” replied Johan while sucking the mushroom stew.

“waahh, I want to meet your grandmother” said one of Callysta's friends.

“sadly my grandmother passed away” replied Johan.

“ohh sorry, I don't know” said Callysta's friend.

“it's okay” replied Johan.

“then I would like to see your grandfather”, said Callysta.

“he has also died” replied Johan.

“ehh? Ma-maaf” sahut Cilysta.

“that's okay” replied Johan.

“so, where is your home? I want to meet your mom so I can learn from them” said one of Callysta's friends.

“my father and mother have died” replied Johan.

“ma-forgive me, I really don't know” said the woman.

“if you can know, they all died when?” ask Callysta.

“mamahku died 3 months ago, while my grandmother died a few weeks ago. My grandfather died the day before my grandmother died while my papah died a few days ago” Johan said.

“in just 3 months, they all died. And I can't do anything but accept it” Johan said.

“ma-sorry, I would be very lost if I was in a position like that” said one of Callysta's friends.

“just right, he lost his family in an instant. Even a grown man will not be able to hide his tears when he loses everything, Callysta replied.

“that's right. A few days ago, I was really devastated. I don't even have a spirit anymore. But ever since I met Odessa, she comforted me and made me forget everything” Johan said.

“ehh? Odessa's? What is it?” ask them all.

“ma-sorry, that's nothing. I mean I only see the scenery in the city of Odessa in the country of Ukraine” Johan said.

“ohhh” answer them all.

“now it's ready. We can eat together” Johan said as he turned his back and took off his aprons.

Just then, they were all a little surprised by Johan who was shedding tears and glimmering on the cheeks. Seeing that, they were all a little uneasy to Johan as they discussed things that Johan did not actually want to hear.

“Johan? Why are you crying?” ask Callysta.

“crying? Huh huh? CRYING?” johan shouted slightly surprised and spontaneously wiped her tears.

“ma-sorry, this may be because I cut the onion earlier, so I am not so aware” said Johan.

“naahh, now I will bring this to the living room.all of you eat as much as you” said Johan.

“baik” answer them all.

At that time Johan also brought some of the dishes to the living room table while they were all washing their hands in the kitchen sink. They sat on the living room couch and then started bribing their food.

So voraciously, Callysta and his friends bribed his food. In fact, they are really impressed by the ability of Johan who can cook so delicious. On the other hand, Johan, who had just washed his hands, wiped his palms with a tissue. Johan saw the four of them eating so voraciously were also happy to see him.

“how? Is my cooking good?” ask Johan.

“less” reply Callysta.

“eh? Still less what?” ask Johan.

“lessmany” answer them all.

“well, mending you cook yourself and eat your own food. If you can cook yourself, you can enjoy your own cuisine” replied Johan.

“aku want to be able to cook” said friend Callysta.

“aku also” said one of Callysta's friends.

“then, next week we cook together. During the week, you have a lot to learn. Next week, it's my turn to try the cuisine of the four” said Johan.

“where are you going now?” ask Callysta.

“you go back, you want to sleep here” said Johan.

“then, thank you so much Yaa” said Callysta.

“same” replied Johan.

“I go home first, excuse me Johan said walking out of the house.

“heart on jalan” says they all.

Johan also came out of the house of Uncle Surya and then walked towards the car of Mr. Abdi who was parked across the road. At that time Johan also opened the car door and found that Uncle Surya was smoking and playing his cellphone.

“what we're going to leave now?” ask Johan.

“important notice. My friend broke his promise because of his business. So now, I'm free and I have no appointments with anyone. If we leave now, it does not matter” replied Mr. Abdi.

“really? Syukurlaahhh. Can we leave now?” ask Johan.

“asikan hayuuk glide” replied Pak Abdi throwing away his dead cigarette butt.

“we're only briefly in the village. So I won't be carrying anything heavy. But please take me home for a minute. I'll take some of my stuff in room” Johan said.

“siapp” replied Mr. Abdi.

They both returned home and entered the house. In fact, Surya's uncle and Johan's mother were still sitting in the living room while drinking a cup of warm tea made by Uncle Surya. At that time Johan ran towards the upper warehouse and then took a box full of used toys as a child. At that time Johan took her downstairs and intended to put her in the trunk of the car.

“where are you going?” ask the mother.

“my toy is no longer used. And his condition is still good. I will give it to the children in Panti” Johan said.

“but Johan, who are you off with?” ask uncle Surya.

“I will take him” replied Abdi.

“aku in interracial sir Abdi. So you guys just calm down. And also for Uncle Surya, do not be naughty yaa, this house has no CCTV and also no one other than the two of you. Keep your voice down while playing” Johan said a little teasingly.

“basic bratty!” shouted uncle Surya ngegas.

“hihhih” laughter Johan ran to the outside of the house and put the cardboard into the trunk of the car.

After that, Johan closed the luggage door and then walked into the house. Johan also said goodbye to his mother and uncle Surya by peeping their hands together. After that, Johan came back out of his house.

“aku to leave” said Johan.

“caution” replied uncle Surya.
