Gabriel glanced at the people around him who were currently enjoying a dish from the condangan, there was a plate of rice full, there was fried chicken, there was satay, there was crackers, there was sambal. Gabriel grimaced at that.
"Why silence? Want to eat no?" ask Firda while thrusting an empty plate for Gabriel.
Gabriel shook his head but heard his stomach rumbling, making Firda chuckle.
"There is no shame in being hungry. Just eat a lot" Firda said then he picked up some rice for Gabriel, adding vegetables and fried chicken.
"You again?" ask her and Gabriel shakes. Firda also took more food than Gabriel. Because eating her is a lot of what's more now she's pregnant.
After which, Firda carried Gabriel sitting on a chair.
"Grandpa didn't eat Abi?" gabriel asked as he watched the people who ate using his hands, again making Gabriel grimace even though there are some who use spoons but no forks
"They eat inside." replied Firda, of course because Kiai always get different services and the menu must also be different. Actually after his Grandfather spoke earlier with the theme of life after the wedding, Firda and Gabriel were called to join but Firda refused. He wanted Gabriel to adapt to the environment in his village as an ordinary person, wanting to make Gabriel familiar with the customs and customs of his village people. What else they intend will stay in the village of Firda later.
"Darling, no spoons and forks?" ask Gabriel.
"Wear your hands, Bang" replied Firda who made Gabriel immediately put on his sour face.
"Why? Don't wanna?" firda asked looking at her husband.
"Boat ya.." her pinta that makes Firda's eye pupils instantly widened.
"Bang, ashamed of the same people." whispered Firda to her husband who made her never mind it. Gabriel let out a long sigh as Firda pulled her hand to wash her hands.
Gabriel immediately took out a piece of his fried chicken but he grimaced as he bit his chicken.
"Why?" ask Firda wonder.
"The chicken was hard." whining Gabriel made Firda chuckle.
"Slightly spicy as well" he returned a whine that made Firda cluck.
"Things can be brought again by the condition of the husband.." his mind cried out lethargic.
"Eat the vegetables then, Bang.." pinta Firda then.
She's bringing her husband, why even like bringing her fussy son?
"The egg is salty..." Gabriel whined again, and his sense of Firda's patience was exhausted.
"Yes, don't eat" said Firda
"What's up, Ning Firda?" ask a middle-aged woman who is the host of the event.
"It's okay, Bi" Firda replied with a wide smile.
"Why doesn't your husband eat?" ask the woman.
"That's the word, Bi. Before coming here to eat" he answered, it is impossible for Firda to be honest if Gabriel complains of his hard fried chicken and salted vegetables. Gabriel grimaced because his wife was lying.
"At least eat though a little, sataynya delicious you know" said the woman.
"Oh yes, Bang Gabriel ate satay alone" exclaimed Firda and he was sure Gabriel had no reason to complain about his satay. While Gabriel just nodded. The woman also took satay for Gabriel did not forget with three rice pangs that made Gabriel glare in surprise.
Firda who knows the portion of her husband's meal is very little if it's a carbo can only hold a smile, she said, he asks Gabriel to eat it in honor of the host who even takes his rice and Gabriel eats his.
"When is Ning Firda going back to town?" ask the woman again.
"Still don't know, Bi. We still want to be here." replied Firda with her gentle smile.
"Hem so.." he muttered as he glanced at Gabriel and smiled "Suami Ning Firda rarely smiled yes" he said which made Firda chuckle. Gabriel was not rarely smiling, but his face was always cold. Like her birth.
"Still not familiar, Bi. The people are friendly" Firda replied, which made Gabriel smile faintly, Firda always talks good things about her everywhere and to anyone. To make Gabriel touched by his wife's sincerity and kindness.
..........
Angeline entered the room Firda and Gabriel had been in all this time. The room was very spacious and luxurious, making Angeline remember her past with Gabriel. Once Gabriel's wife, Angeline and Gabriel lived in an ordinary house despite being big and luxurious. But certainly not as big and not as luxurious as this mansion. Making Angeline smile faintly, if only she would have survived and would have accepted Gabriel, maybe now she would have become Gabriel's queen.
Angeline stared at the wedding photos of Firda and Gabriel, just as their marriage was held in a simple manner.
"Mrs Angeline..."
Angeline flinched as a waiter came into the room "Sorry, madam is disturbing but..."
"What's wrong?" ask Angeline.
"Sorry, but usually Madame Firda does not like anyone to enter her room without permission." she said softly, afraid to make Angeline offended and angry "Even during this time Madam Firda cleaned her own room" he continued.
Angeline was silent for a moment before she finally nodded in understanding and rushed out of the room. Although there was a little envy in his heart with Firda, with what Firda had even all the servants and bodyguards Gabriel still respected Firda even though Firda was not in front of them.
