Bougenville of Love
42 - Regional Specialty Food.

Despite refusing and saying that he was bad at exercising, Damia seemed to feel happy when taught to play basketball by Angga to successfully perform basic techniques in several experiments.

"It feels tiring and I still suck at exercising" Damia said

"That's because you're not used to doing sports like this, but you're a great beginner after just a few tries and you look happy" Angga said

"This is because you taught me well. Thank ye. I feel good" Damia said

"Yes, equally. Let's just rest. Come on, let's eat" said Angga

"alright. Come on," Damia said

Damia and Angga also switched to the Lenggang area of Jakarta, which is a place to eat around the Monas area.

"Damia, what do you want to eat?" ask Angga

"Just whatever. You choose" Damia replied

Angga nodded and immediately grabbed Damia's hand to enter one of the eating places.

Angga also invited Damia to sit on the chair she had been looking for. Then, the man sat across from the seat of the beautiful nun who separated the two with the table in the middle.

"Mom, rice 2, roasted chicken taliwang 2, and peleking kale only one, yes .." Angga message.

"Here ... Lombok typical dining, huh? That's your parents' hometown, right?" ask Damia

"Absolutely. I told you about my mom and dad's place of origin, huh?" ask back Angga

Damia simply nodded as a justification for the question from Angga.

"The taliwang and peleking kale is my favorite Lombok food" said Angga

"What is the difference between chicken taliwang and ordinary processed chicken dishes? Then, the difference is that the kale pelecing is the same as ordinary kale?" ask Damia

"Typical food Lombok that makes a difference from the taste and flavor. On average, most typical Lombok food is always watered with lime juice and must taste spicy because there is always a sauce" explained Angga

"Wait, before you buy egg crust with a little spicy .. what because you can not eat spicy? Did I choose the wrong place to eat?" tanya Angga continued.

"No problem though. I can eat everything. I usually limit spicy food, but not because I can't eat spicy. I just don't want to eat anything too much because what's happening is not good for health" Damia replied

"Do we cancel the order and just move to a place to eat?" ask Angga

"We eat here, it's okay. The order must be almost done" Damia replied

"Sorry, yes .. I should make sure and ask first" said Angga

"Can, it is I who asked you to determine the place to eat" Damia said

"Canceled is okay too. The finished food I could have asked for was wrapped for me to take home and we could have eaten somewhere else" Angga said

"It's okay, Angga. Look, tuh ... the food is ready and ready to be delivered," Damia said

Justright. Soon the mother of the owner of the restaurant delivered the order to the dining table.

"What is the drink for?"

"yes too. We haven't ordered a drink yet. Then, I order one warm orange aur. What do you want to order, Angga?" ask Damia

"Es one sweet tea," answered Angga

"For the drink, please wait a minute."

The mother of the owner of the restaurant switched to make drinks and then returned to deliver two drinks that had been ordered by Damia and Angga.

"Good fun." After that, the mother of the owner of the place to eat passed away from there.

"Come, eat!" damia

"Don't eat all the sauce if you feel it's too much" Angga said

"I understand, but don't think about taking the chili from my plate even if I don't finish it. You should not eat sambal excessively" Damia said

"Other times there are many stories about yourself so that I can remember them well" Pinta Angga

"Yes, I will tell you everything, but I also prefer it when you tell me about yourself with pleasure" Damia said

"What good would it be if I couldn't remember anything about you?" ask Angga

"I'll tell you about it and you'll remember. That's enough. Why are you even confused about what you can't remember? You better focus on what makes you feel good" Damia said

Angga just nodded. The man and Damia began to eat the dishes that had been ordered.

"This taliwang chicken can be served fried or burned. This time I ordered the roasted chicken." Angga again discussed about the typical food of his parents' hometown. The man wanted to follow Damia's words to only discuss the ongoing fun.

"Where's the smile? Why don't you smile again when you tell stories like before?" ask Damia

"I can't smile when I eat spicy food. There I will cry when trying to smile because it feels spicy," replied Angga

"Don't cry. If that happens, then I'll wipe away your tears" Damia said

"The words you said should be me as the man who said them" Angga said

"What age is it now? Men and women are the same. It doesn't matter who says it" Damia said

Both continue to eat.

..."Apparently, Damia was also able to speak sweet words. Then, didn't those words also include a declaration of love? I'm not wrong, am I? Damia must have loved me just as much as I loved her, "inner Angga...

"There are still many Lombok cash foods that certainly taste good. I can tell you one by one. It would be even better if you can come to Lombok directly. Next time you can go with me there," said Angga

Hearing the man's words made Damia almost choke. If only the beautiful sister could not control herself, she would have coughed by now.

Damia immediately took a drink to smooth her slightly choked throat. Since there was no water, the beautiful sister could only directly drink her warm orange juice.

..."Are you aware of the meaning of the words you just said, Angga? It sounds like you're taking me to your parents' hometown to do a family meeting there. You're like you're proposing to me! I do not intend to misunderstand your intentions so that I can see the beauty and feel the culinary wusata in Lombok directly. But, still .. If I don't understand what you mean, I could be misunderstood. Please don't say ambiguous words" Damia said...

"You mean, I went to the city of Lombok? What's for?" ask Damia

"It's very far there. Maybe it'll be very difficult for me to get there" Damia continued

"Why can't it? There will be a chance for you to go there. I can show you a beautiful view and introduce a delicious special food there," said Angga

"Yes, it will be so beautiful and fun. From what I know, the beauty of the city of Lombok is no less than the beauty of the city of Bali" said Damia

"That's exactly right. If you have a chance, do you want to go there?" ask Angga

"of course. You must remember your own words. I'll charge it later. If the time comes, we should go together" Angga said

..."Because if that time came, we would have already become one family. I'm looking forward to it, "inner Angga...

Damia and Angga continued to eat together. After finishing eating and making payments, both of them left the place to eat.

Before eating, it had entered the twilight and now the sky had darkened.

"At night, Monas looks really beautiful" Damia said with a smile.

"really. When I went with you here, I was a little worried that the visit to the monument of Monas was closed because it was closed in the afternoon and the tickets we bought were only a few last tickets left," angga

"But, in fact, we can still enter and thanks to you I can so see the beauty at night today" said Damia

"Damia, how about before we go home, we take a short walk to improve digestion while taking pictures?" ask Angga

"alright. It's up to you" Damia replied

Damia and Angga walked back to the National Monument page to take pictures. The two seemed not to want to miss to capture the moment and the beauty of the moment together while looking at the glitter of light on the National Monument at night that looked so beautiful.

Feeling quite photographed, Damia and Angga went to go back home. Of course, Angga would drive Damia home safely.

"Damia, are you back at work tomorrow? When did you go to work?" asked Angga while on the way in the car with Damia.

"Yes. Tomorrow I go to night shift work" Damia replied

"That means you'll stay in the hospital until morning? What time do you work?" ask Angga

"I'm in at 9 p.m. Departing at 8 past 20 minutes from home and will be home at 7 past 30 in the morning" Damia said

"How about tomorrow I'll pick you up at home to take you to work?" ask Angga

"But it's night. You better rest at home" Damia replied

"It's okay. If at that hour, I can still," said Angga

"If I refuse and forbid you, you will insist. Not much different from when you came home. It's up to you. You must always be careful" Damia said

"alright. Tomorrow I'll definitely pick you up for work. I won't be late" said Angga

Angga's car continued to drive until it finally arrived in front of Damia's house after passing through the entrance gate opened by the guard. The man stopped his car.

"We have arrived" said Angga

Damia just nodded and immediately moved out of the car owned by the lover. Angga also went outside from his car and approached the beautiful sister of his heart.

"I won't bother you until I pick you up to drop off for work tomorrow night. So you need to rest well. Don't just remind me" said Angga

"Yes, I get it. Be careful on the road. Don't speed when driving a car" Damia said

"Right, it's night. I gotta go home. I say goodbye, yes," said Angga

"Thank you for today" Damia said

"No problem. I was also happy to be with you earlier," Angga said

Damia and Angga waved each other as farewells. Until finally Angga got into his car which then drove around out of the housing complex to return home.

Shortly thereafter, Damia sees her father returning home on a matic motorcycle.

"Dad, come home .. "greet Damia

"Yes, Damia. You're gone, aren't you? Just come home too?" ask the father. Dad Dodi.

"Yes, Dad. I went with a friend and just came home" Damia replied

"So you see there's a car out of here? Did the car have your friend?" ask Dad Dodi.

"Yes. I was taken home to my friend's house" Damia replied

"Come on, get in the house, Dad. Don't sit on the bike anymore" Damia continued before the father asked for more.

"OK, okay .. " said Dodi's father

Dodi's father got off the bike and walked into the house with Damia.

"Father with Damia, already home .. "welcome Mother Rita

"Yes, Mom. Damia was outside the house" Dodi's father said

"Come, I'll take a shower. After that we eat," said Rita's mother

"I don't eat, yes, Mom, Dad. I ate out with friends. Mom and Dad ate alone. The dirty dishes will let me wash them. I want to go into the room first" Damia said

"Yes, you rest first. You must feel tired because you just came home after leaving earlier," said Rita's mother

Damia just nodded. The beautiful sister turned from there to go to her room and into it.

After feeling well rested inside the room, Damia returned outside to wash the dishes as she had said before. The mother was apparently washing dishes in the kitchen.

"Mom, did you finish eating with Dad earlier? Why not just rest? Let me do the dishes" Damia said

"It's okay. Mom's hands are wet, right. You're the one who keeps resting. Otherwise, you accompany me to chat. He said there's something I want to talk to you about" Rita's mother said

"Later on, .. I want to help you wash the dishes first" Damia said

"Let your own mother do the dishes. You just meet Dad," said Rita's mother

"Mom sure I don't want to help wash the dishes?" ask Damia

"Yes, no need .. " replied Ms. Rita

"Yes already. I lived first, yes, Mom . " said Damia

Rita's mother just nodded. Then, Damia approached her father while watching television while looking for a news channel.

"Damia, sinj ... sit with Dad," Dodi's father asked

Damia nodded and approached the father to sit next to the man.
