“I really can't eat that still looks like rice, Fin. Don't mess around, if I pass out how?”
Epiaode 15: The Strange Phobia
Rafael slowed down his steps when he found Fina standing in front of the kitchen table. At the kitchen table filled with pacitan and various other foods, including rice and the side dishes, Fina was stirring black coffee.
There were five black coffee cups that were still puffing smoke with a strong fragrance, and then Fina placed them on the sheet, before finally being placed on the tray that Rina thrust.
“Already, .. thanks to Mr. Otoy same sir Didin, the rest put on the next table for the fragrant, all later brought the same lemper pacitan as well,” said Fina.
“OK, Mbak,” reply Rina while passing carrying a tray containing coffee carefully.
Lina walked out of the kitchen towards the side door. And out there, some women also still sound together with the sound of water pouring, in addition to the sound of furniture clanking each other. Rafael believes one or more of them is washing the furniture.
“New two days here, Didin and Otoy have been blackened. Don't give them black coffee. Later if their wives do not recognize because Didin and Otoy are getting black, how?” raphael's Reprimand.
Fina simply smiled as she shook her head without looking at Rafael. “Let's not sleepy, Raf.”
“If it is sleepy yes can not be contested. Which is not literate, their stomachs actually added even bloated bloated,” replied Rafael.
“If bloated, surely they will not drink,” reply Fina with relax while cleaning the dishes on the table.
For Fina, although understanding, but Rafael is considered rese. Rafael is a perfectionist.
Fina took a few bags from the box under the table to pocket some of the pacits at the table.
After taking a step back just because he deliberately observed Fina who was so deftly cleaning up, even this time Fina reached for a broom and seemed to be sweeping the kitchen floor which was quite dirty, dirty, Rafael continued his steps to approach the woman.
“This day has been very busy, indeed not tired?” rafael said while keeping both hands on the side of the black material pants worn. He stopped right behind Fina who was starting to sweep.
Fina turned her head and looked up, looking at Rafael as she continued to sweep towards the side door of the kitchen in front of her that was still left open. “Nanggung .. let's quickly set up.”
“Indeed the most complicated, yes, if there is a big event, even just a thanksgiving?” rafael said later while observing the atmosphere of the table that was much neater.
Fina who had finished sweeping, immediately left her broom, then went into the bathroom which was in the hallway opposite the dining table.
“Fin, ... This much food is shared,” said Rafael as he turned and looked at Fina who had just returned from the bathroom with wet hands. Rafael believes his wife has just washed her hands.
“Iya, .. that's all I want to share with the rest of the people,” Fina replied while drying her hand using a piece of tissue she just took from the table. “What do you want to eat?” he looked at Rafael.
Rafael shakes. “I if you see too much food, it becomes immediately full before eating.”
Fina laughed at Rafael's reply. “But yes, anyway. I do that too. But if there are cakes gini it feels good if you do not eat. Nih, .. This is a special moci here. My cake, arem-arem, lemper, lapis, wajik, sempora there bows too. Aphem. And all this is called pacitan.”
Rafael looked carefully at what Fina explained. Even more and more, the look on his face became more and more serious. “You can make all these cakes, too?”
“What's the reason?” reply Fina while eating steamed cake made from glutinous flour and young grated coconut. The cake that Fina said was named sempora has a combination of two colors with a lower color that is much more dominant, while the top is only limited to beautify it.
“Iya. If you can, it could be part of the project at the hotel. Later, mama who will give instructions to you,” explained Rafael who until reaching one by one cake on the plate.
“Oh, so? Can ... can.” Fina became excited to hear Rafael's offer.
“Already, do not just observe, all tasting!” Fina immediately fed a small piece of the spleen cake that was being eaten, to Rafael.
Initially, Rafael chews without any load. But for a long time, the look on the man's face implied discomfort. “Kok feels weird, huh, Fin?”
“Any how? Not good?” reply Fina. “Yes, even glutinous flour, not doyan, just because it is still made from rice?” his inner.
Rafael shuddered and hurriedly pulled out a few strands of tissue to hold the splinter cake from his mouth.
Fina looked at Rafael confusedly.
“This is glutinous flour?” guess Rafael while throwing his splinter cake wipes into the trash can in front of the kitchen side door.
After returning from throwing away the tissue containing his lepeh, a plate of ripe bananas at the table became Rafael's choice. Raphael hurriedly peeled it off and then ate it.
“I really can't eat that still looks like rice, Fin. Don't mess around, if I pass out how?” rafael complains while filling his mouth with bananas.
Rafael's face became very red. There was such a great and real fear emanating there. This made Fina feel very guilty. Fina even put the rest of the pieces of cake that she initially still held using her right hand, on the table just like that.
Fina grabbed onto the banana peel that Rafael was holding, then held onto both of Rafael's arms, which by itself, Fina also leaned on Rafael's body.
With a face filled with annoyance and fear, Rafael did not heed Fina's apology that leaned on him. Rafael even looked straight ahead without even glancing at Fina in the slightest. Making Fina realize Rafael has not been able to forgive him, dropping his banana skin just like that.
“Why is Rafael's phobia so strange? Time he was afraid to rice?” inner Fina.
***
The hasty steps controlled by Ipul's anger gradually swallowed, even completely stopped, when the man found Fina was leaning spoiled on Rafael.
“Mai oil wan!” snapped Ipul later.
Fina gradually ended her backrest. He looked at Ipul quite vigilantly. Rafael did the same thing. Rafael even went back to Fina and stood guard for the woman.
With a hunting breath, Ipul again continued to face Rafael full of anger. Even though in fact, in the second step, he actually stepped on the banana skin and succeeded in making it slip.
“Beched!” yelling Ipul as his body slammed and ended up lying on the kitchen floor that was still oily.
Fina and Raphael were instantly crushed. Even the two hurriedly came out of the kitchen, letting the mothers who were still fretting, ascertaining the state of Ipul.
“Yes Pul Pul .. insyaf why?”
“It's old, instead of thinking, eh make a troublemaker continue.”
“Then you go home there.”
“Iya. Just gohome. His slack will soon begin. If you make a troublemaker, where do I read his prayer.”
“Duh Gusti ... My back is crushed ... encok .. please dong lamented that even to the point of not being able to move.
Inevitably, the four mothers who looked at the state of the Ipul from the door also acted. Although shortly when the four will lift the body of Ipul, Rafael forbids and calls Otoy following Didin who sits on the front porch of Fina's house, to take over.
Didin and Otoy ready to lift the body of Ipul. Didin who has a smaller body deliberately lifted the legs, while Otoy who has a strapping body, entangled to guard from the armpits of Ipul.
Ipul's body was lifted out of the kitchen and still mobbed by the four tenuous mothers, standing in front of the door, following Rafael and Fina who were still accompanying.
However, just as he was leaving the side area of the kitchen, Ipul who suddenly farts with a smell so rotten, successfully making Didin and Otoy who could not stand it, dropped the body of Ipul just like that.
“Yeah rotten shit like this, Pul! What did you eat?!”
“Even more foul than the smell of carrion!”
“We raise our hands, Boss. Not again!”
“Iya, Boss ... My stomach until nausea again!”
Otoy and Didin escape, following a trail to four fickle mothers, following Fina and Rafael who immediately disbanded. Those who compactly fold the nose, gradually pull over. Fina and Rafael went back into the kitchen in the house, while the four mothers who were fussy, chose to pull over to the end of the kitchen impromptu roofed blue tent. The four back shoulder to shoulder wash the furniture that lives a large skillet and pot.
“Pae .... Bue ... Help me!”
Tangis Ipul who roared, making the fathers who will start the penduri busy making sure. Really just make sure because they are fed up with the work of the Pulp who even just rejected their advice.
Even those who got out of the house, just to look at it and rush back into the house.
“Ya pardon .. Why are you so mean?” raung Ipul sounds very bad.
***
Inside the kitchen, Fina who was again standing next to Rafael, became tense. It is not the case of the Ipul that it seems there will be no end point to the act of crazy man. Except for his relationship with Rafael. They're already married. Even the thanksgiving is beginning.
However, will they have a husband and wife relationship next? Their relationship is really going to be real, right? Fina is not just a future partner who has to work as Rafael's wife? Thinking of all that, there was an overwhelming anxiety that accompanied Fina's fear. Hopefully, Fina really becomes Rafael's wife completely.
