Healing
13. Lunch

For an hour we were at Bian's restaurant, the restaurant where I worked. Shaka seems to enjoy every dish and I'm happy because he's happy.

" The next time Shaka wants to come here again, if Shaka represents school in the race again and wins, Shaka usually gets coaching money, right Shaka usually gets coaching money, later Kak Raya with Mama and Papa will Shaka eat again here. You see the cuisine is very good and the place is also very comfortable, cool", said Shaka while wondering.

I could only smile hearing my son was already able to judge a place was comfortable or not.

" It takes a lot of money to eat here, mama's cooking is no less delicious" I said so that Shaka does not continue to fantasize.

" Kak Raya, this is how the hell, of course, mama's cooking is still the most delicious, but it is rare to cook expensive foods like this, Mama cooks most vegetables and side dishes or tofu, or tofu, eat fish or meat only a few times a month" Shaka murmured.

Now Shaka is very good at arguing, he is indeed a smart and brave child, only sometimes his thoughts still have to be straightened out so as not to stray.

Boys who are teenagers like Shaka are usually more stubborn. And if there is something that strays from a child their age not by violence or by clashing how to handle it. But more precisely with tenderness and deliberation.

I realized my time at home wasn't too much because I had to work. Except for holidays like the current .

But on Friday when I get a holiday, it is usually Shaka always busy with his own activities, after school continued Friday prayers, and after that will leave to play football with his friends. Not to mention when still SD first every Friday there is a standby exercise, maybe later after entering Junior High also the same, because Shaka likes to follow extracurricular activities in his school.

That's why sometimes I can only tell my mama to often invite Shaka to chat and give good input, so that Shaka still runs on the right track.

" Therefore you learn diligently, so the child who is sinter, do not play mostly, so that you can still maintain your rank. If you continue to be the first rank every semester, it will be easier for you to enroll in any school, thankfully you can get to college, kak Raya promises to help you get to college if you keep your ranking Ka...".

" If you can go to high school and have a degree, you can work in a comfortable place, you can be in a big company, or you can be a successful entrepreneur, your life will be enough, want to eat good can every day, do not need to think about money enough what not to do this and that".

" And don't forget, if you become a successful person, happy first your parents, those who have contributed greatly in your life until you achieve success".

I purposely gave Shaka the sense that Shaka was sitting quietly while enjoying his meal. This moment of eating with the family is most appropriate to talk from heart to heart, because rarely can we gather and sit back while eating together like now.

From the first mama who had to leave early in the morning to the factory, now after mama stopped working, replace papa who had to leave narik ojek early in the morning, now after the mama stopped working, papa who had to leave narik ojek early in the morning, because in the morning can be quite a lot of customers who order ojek online. Because in the morning it is time for employees or students to go to school or their workplace.

Sometimes papa has not even left for breakfast, he said dear can nganter one passenger if the time is used for breakfast. Papa usually only eats bread and drinks mother-made sweet tea in the morning.

" Why didn't Kak Raya help Kak Juna to attend college?, did she graduate from high school yesterday, and Kak Juna went to work in a big city?", Shaka's question made me smile.

But when I was about to answer the question, it was my mother who answered Shaka first.

" Kak Raya has offered the same thing, but unfortunately Kak Juna prefers to work in order to earn, and does not continue to be a family dependant. If mama is actually not a problem, want whatever decision is made, the important thing is that your children can be responsible for all of their decisions. There Juna is also trying to be able to make mama and papa happy".

Mama's answer made Shaka round his lips to form the letter 'O'.

We had finished lunch, the longest lunch I had ever done, because usually we employees would be given an early lunch ration, around 10, he said, or all day around 2, where restaurant visitors are not too crowded. Because at lunchtime usually restaurant visitors are crowded. So it is impossible for us employees to relax and join lunch, because the guests are a lot.

Even though we have finished eating, but Shaka looks still at home, because one last treat has not been tasted, namely brown brown brownies that look very delicious gifts from Bian.

" Kak Raya's... Shaka really wants to eat brownies, but saka's stomach is not fit if forced to fill again, can the brownie just be taken home ?, let's have dinner tonight at home, while drinking warm chocolate milk and watching the ball...".

" Of course you can, so later Brother Bian told Rita to make her brownie wrap".

Bian waved a hand to call Rita who was approaching right away.

" Here is the table tidied up, and this brownie please pack, plus two chocolate milkshakes to bring Shaka home".

I saw Rita nodding immediately as she called my other friend to clean up the table full of dirty dishes my family used to eat.

" How are you, Mr. Tono and Mrs Vienna?, sorry to say hello, just finished meeting at the hotel, meet the same prospective client who wants to order cuisine for his wedding next month at the Grand Hill hotel".

Mama and Papa also welcomed a helping hand from Bian. Do not forget to say thank you very much for all the food that has been given as a gift to Shaka.

" It's okay Miss Vienna, Shaka does deserve all that, she reminded me of the time I was her age. It was the first time I met Raya at school, exactly the same age as Shaka".

Bian who is always supple and easy to communicate with anyone, can immediately get familiar with my papa mama, and also with Shaka.

After a casual chat with Bian, my family and I decided to go home, because Papa still had to pick up the motorcycle again. Mama and Papa rushed out first from the restaurant, while Shaka and I walked casually with Bian.

But while walking towards the front parking lot of the restaurant, Shaka's words made me feel really embarrassed and bad for Bian.

" Bian, yesterday afternoon at home, Kak Raya asked Shaka if Shaka had any acquaintance of her age, he said asking to be known who knew there was a good friend of Shaka's, because mama has often protested why Kak Raya is that old and does not want to get married either. Does Brother Bian want to help Shaka, Brother Bian is a good person, would not be Kak Raya's husband?".

I immediately silenced Shaka's mouth that there was no brake, right now I am really ashamed of Bian. But instead I saw Bian smiling broadly at Shaka's words.

" Bian sister is not a problem to help Shaka, but try to ask her Kak Raya will not be sister Bian's wife, because it's like your brother is not interested deh same brother Bian".

This time it was Bian's question that made me even more misbehavior. And I screamed when Shaka suddenly bit my palm that was smothering his mouth.

" Kak Raya what the hell, Shaka so can't breathe know!".

" Bian sister saw for herself that Kak Raya's attitude was like that, so Shaka was worried that no man would want to be like her, want to be an old virgin!".

This time I swapped Shaka's arm which spoke more and more outrageously.

" Already Bi.. don't be horrified by Shaka's words, this child is indeed if there is no brake talk, need to serve his mouth first, so that it can be on the brake".

" Thank you Bi, for everyone, next time do not bother to follow Shaka's wishes, if followed for a long time can visit this child" I said while turning on my motorcycle matik stater.

" Let's hunt Ka home... Bian's sister wants to continue working, do not disturb the time", said I pulled Shaka's hand to go up to my motorbike.

Shaka also complied while on drugs and thanked Bian.

I also came out of Bian's restaurant. When I saw Rita running out to Bian. I don't know what the problem is, but I don't care, today it's my day off work, so let them solve the restaurant problem on their own without me.
