Don Gabriel Emerson lantern
Eps 8 - Gara Gara Pentol
In the morning, Gabriel was holding his tummy. He felt hungry because the last time he ate was only at Firda's house.
The sound of knocking on the door outside, Gabriel knew it must be Bi May who would clean the house and would cook for her.
Gabriel opened the door wide and then walked in without even talking to Bi May. That's how he is, never say hello never trite. Bi May herself felt awkward and confused, because Gabriel was just hostile. There was no friendly look or smile even just a little.
While in his room, Gabriel suddenly remembered Firda who bought him food yesterday at the market. He also took one hundred thousand pieces of money and went to Bi May who was currently in the kitchen preparing foodstuffs.
"I want to eat beef meatballs" exclaimed Gabriel right without a stale that even the sound arrived it surprised Bi May.
"Cow meatballs?" ask Bi May to clarify.
"Yes, here's the money. Buy me two packs" Gabriel said, and after Bi May received the money, Gabriel went back into her room.
It's just messing around there, it's so boring. He contacted John, and when his call was answered, he immediately pulled out his uncle.
"This is so boring, John. Nothing here, I think I'll die of boredom here. Stop this hideout and send me my jet right now!" gabriel held all his frustration.
"Sir, we're trying to figure out who attacked you at the hotel 6 months ago. Since our enemy's enemy no one does that, this must be done by an insider. So just be patient there for a second, or maybe you'll be killed while you're asleep in your room"
"But, John..."
"Sir, I am busy at the moment. Enjoy your time there, I promise you'll get out of the village soon and get back into town"
Gabriel immediately threw the phone in annoyance, even the old-fashioned phone was broken. Now Gabriel's getting pissed off, that's the only one of his concoction tools with John.
Gabriel came out of his room, and at the same time Bi May came with two packs of beef meatballs but it looked different to what Gabriel wanted.
"What's this?" ask Gabriel.
"It's a beef meatball" Bi May replied "I'll prepare it in the bowl, sir"
"Not this meatball I want" said Gabriel coldly "His meatballs without sauce and without anything" said Gabriel again "Belikan again" his decree that made Bi May sigh heavily.
"Yes, sir" said Bi May trying to be patient. He goes back to buy the meatballs Gabriel wants and Gabriel waits in the dining room.
And when Bi May came, Gabriel again felt that what Bi May brought was not the meatballs he wanted. Because it's just meatballs without anything, without sausage and without bamboo skewers like the one Firda bought.
"It's his beef meatballs, sir" Bi May said.
"It's not like this" furious Gabriel was restrained, he was already very upset because of boredom, and now what he wanted he did not get. While Bi May looked very confused and a little scared, what else saw the gaze of Gabriel who just wanted to exterminate her.
"So what kind of meatballs, sir?" Bi May ventured to ask. Because back and forth buying meatballs is also tiring, what else he has not cooked and has not been clean.
"His meatballs in the same small plastic wrap, mix with spicy sauces and love bamboo skewers. Like a toothpick but a big one" explained Gabriel who made Bi May more confused "Why even keep quiet? Let's go find it" said Gabriel and Bi May immediately ran out.
On the way, he grumbled in annoyance.
"Based on our people, you can't talk good. Oddly enough, what meatballs are put in plastic, mixed sausage and and in love bamboo punctures? Huf, it's getting late, I have to clean three houses today"
While grumbling, Bi May accidentally crossed paths with Firda who walked alone while eating a snack in her hold.
"Why upset it's morning, Bi?" ask Firda while licking her finger that was exposed to the rest of the snack.
"This, Neng. The family of his wife Mr. Mansur..."
"Of Gabriel?" ask Firda to interrupt.
"Auntie doesn't know his name, Neng. But it looks like it is, Gabriel, Mr Gabriel"
"Why Gabriel?" asked Firda and he continued to enjoy his snacks.
"What meatballs do you want?"
"She said the beef meatballs were put into small plastic, mixed in sausage continue to be given bamboo skewers" Bi May explained with a frowning face.
"That's mah Pentol times, Bi. Meat pentol" Firda said while laughing amusedly and immediately Bi May immediately patted her own eel while saying
"Oh yes... Why don't you think about it?"
"No, in sono noh earlier there was a passing Pentol mamang" Firda pointed towards his back.
"Where?" ask Bi May.
"There, come on..." Firda took Bi May away to buy meat pentols for Gabriel.
Even Firda went with Bi May to Gabriel's house because Bi May told him that Gabriel was very creepy. While Firda had told him that he knew Gabriel and yesterday did buy him a pentol and tiny Gabriel wanted to go back to eating it.
Arriving at home, Bi May encouraged Firda to walk first. Firda said his greetings and called Gabriel before entering the house.
"Assalamualaikum, Om Gabriel.." exclaimed like a child calling his friend to play.
While Gabriel who was currently in his room immediately came out when he heard Firda's voice.
"Waalaikum greetings, Firda" Gabriel replied and Firda immediately revealed his wide smile.
"It's pentol Om already got" exclaimed Firda while handing over the pentol "That's what Om wants?"
"Yes" Gabriel replied quickly.
"That's called pentol, Om. Not meatballs, if here Om says meatballs, om will be given meatballs full of soup, vegetables and fried dumplings" explained Firda and Gabriel nodded in understanding. Now his face was no longer cold as before and it managed to make Bi May confused, because obviously it was Gabriel like the kind who was achy sore. Very creepy.
"Yes, Firda go first huh, Om"
"Where's breakfast here, Fir?" ask Gabriel.
"Engga, Um. Thanks, Bi May hasn't cooked yet" either"
And Bay just smiled thinly "Em, actually I'm bored at home" Gabriel said again.
"How serious? Cook does Firda have to take Om on the road?"
"Yes, that's a good idea" Gabriel said.
"That's the question, Om. Not a statement" exclaimed Firda who made Gabriel grimace "But kasian too, yes already, follow Firda home, Om. In the home of many people, in the guarantee om will not be bored"
"When he wants to walk both ways" Gabriel was disappointed.
"That's not good with your family, Fir"
"Em yes already, Om at home, Firda pick up people first, so Om can walk the road"
"Whose people?"
"Later Om knows too"
"Okey, I'm waiting"
"Good fun with the pentol, Om"
