64. Cooking in Campgrounds

" Delete dong Bi, really ugly I was in the photo, again pouting so even uploaded, rese you ah....", I'm trying to get Bian's phone in his pants pocket. But Bian dodged and tried to make it harder for me who was still trying to take his phone.

" Kak Raya, Kak Bian" exclaimed Shaka, who was walking towards the two of us. I had to stop trying to get Bian's phone out of his pants pocket.

" Hey the new idol candidate, really cool your voice earlier, brother Bian sure you will be the champion Ka.", Bian invites Shaka with high five both.

" Bian sister is too quick to give an assessment, the others are also very good voice, sister does not watch other participants anyway, so do not know the others are also cool" said Shaka.

" How many more participants Ka?, will be immediately announced who is the champion, right?", asked enthusiastically.

" There are only two more participants, the jury announced who the champion was. Kak Raya is just the same brother Bian kesininya?", asked Shaka while circulating his gaze, looking for the existence of another mama, but there is no one.

I nodded, "it was mommy, but said mommy wants to go to her tomorrow, see the bonfire. Sorry, brother did not bring anything here, you have eaten yet?, want to eat in front of the camp with sister?, there were also many who sold, there was a bassist, there was a bassist, chicken noodle maker, siomay handyman, a lot of that.... What do you want to eat?", I asked Shaka.

" No, my sister, thank you, it was lunch with friends, still full until now. Not to mention Handi and Danis again participate in the cooking competition, we have promised to eat with the results of their cooking later".

I nodded to hear Shaka's explanation, "then it means let brother and sister Bian eat at home, because the asem vegetable made by Kak Bian is still a lot earlier, dear if not run out", muttered.

Singing contestants have performed all, and the judges are discussing and accumulating the value they provide. All those who participated in the singing competition were waiting for the announcement of the judging result.

And the atmosphere was increasingly tense when one of the teachers who was also a judge of the singing competition went up on stage to read out who the participants were champions.

From the start of champion 3, champion 2, and champion 1 are read in order. As the jury was about to announce the name of the winner, the audience voices shouted Shaka's name together.

" Saka....!".

" Saka....!".

" Saka...!".

Like an idol, all called Shaka's name as the first champion. And it's true what they all hope for. Shaka's name was called by the jury as the first champion of the team singing competition. I'm really excited because my son became the first champion.

" The champion of this year's Scout singing competition is.... Arshaka Saputra!", exclaimed the Jury loudly using a microphone from the stage.

Bian tos with Shaka, as Shaka is about to take the stage. I can only smile proudly at him. Shaka stared at me for a few seconds, just starting to step onto the stage.

I saw Shaka receiving gifts in the form of a gift package, and also a white envelope filled with money. When Shaka stepped off the stage, he accidentally opened the gift he got in front of me and Bian, when we had returned to the tent of Shaka's squad.

The gift contained a snack of chocolate and coconut-studded wafer biscuits, which Shaka shared with his teammates. While the white envelope contains money of 50 thousand rupiah for the first champion, I heard the second champion got 30 thousand rupiah, and the third champion 20 thousand rupiah.

The prize is not much, because this is one of the small race events organized by the school to make its students dare to appear and compete.

" Congratulations ya Ka.. I really already feel that you will win, because your voice if again adhan in the mosque is also good, is it Her?", Danis who participated in the cooking competition but did not get the champion asked for Heru's approval.

" Yes, so I agree that you represent our squad, quite right we can get free snacks like this" said Heru while chuckling.

" If the cooking competition is from the beginning we are not sure, because of all of us no one can cook, which is important to send a team representative, than no one represents. The end of the girl team pinter-pinter really cooking. Understandably, we are boys, so we do not have to cook pinter right?", said Danis who was trying to entertain himself because he lost the cooking match earlier.

" Who said that the guy does not have to cook, nih. kak Raya husband candidates, the cuisine is super delicious, eleven-twelve as chef Juna who is in MasterChef Indonesia", Shaka praises Bian proudly in front of his friends.

Shaka's friends who were gathered next to the tent were staring at Bian as if giving an assessment of his appearance. Bian does not look like the great chefs on television, because the look of Bian is more similar to Korean boy bands who are white and medium posture, not thin, not muscular.

" When the future sister-in-law you want to cook, can you show her skills here?", challenge Danis who does not believe in Shaka's speech.

Danis took the rest of the ingredients are still raw, earlier Danis and Handi was shopping quite a lot, because they are confused what to cook to participate in the race. As a result, there are many unused ingredients.

" You two just cook the rice now, let the stove next to him brother use to cook the side dish".

Bian immediately gave the command to Shaka and Heru to help him, wash the vegetables, cut and others, while Danis and Handi cooked a considerable amount of rice for a one-team dinner.

I just smiled to see all of them who were busy at the moment, I accidentally took a photo of them while I was getting on royong cooking for dinner.

Indeed, all campers are given the freedom to prepare their own food, to train their independence when away from home.

Bian cooked so deftly, and by about half-six, all the dishes were cooked. All of Shaka's friends stared in amazement and sparkling eyes when they saw the results of Bian's cuisine that looked beautiful, with an appetizing aroma, and of course it felt no need to question.

I took some photos of Bian's cooking earlier, as a memento.

" Now wait for the rice is really mature, all can gather, and take the side dishes a little, because the material is just that much, so divided evenly, you are a squad of 10 children, you are a group of 10 children, so these three dishes should be divided equally" Bian said, conveying a little message before they ate.

The rice was ripe, and all were holding their plates, they immediately took the rice and side dishes in turn. Everyone immediately ate so voraciously, enjoying every mouthful they put into their mouths. Including Handi and Danis who had doubted Bian's ability, they both now acknowledge, even praise the prowess of Bian, who although a man, but very good at cooking.

" Well, Kak Raya is very lucky, her future husband is a cook, so want to get a prospective sister-in-law who is good at cooking as well as Shaka, must be seneng every day asking to be cooked food that the ingredients are ordinary, and the ingredients are good, but the results of the cooking are amazing", praise Danis who was challenging Bian.

Since then the team from the tent next door continues to pay attention to the excitement that occurred in the tent owned by Shaka and his team, but they only pay attention, because the tent next door was also cooking, they cooked rice, and they did not do so, instant fried noodles, and an omelet, an easy menu to make and all love the taste.

If the ingredients were a lot, maybe we could share, but unfortunately only a little, even me and Bian just do not eat here, because they are worried about reducing the part of children who are having a taste for food. They are all growing up and have to eat a lot.

Bian and I went home when the Maghrib came. Shaka and his friends also thanked him many times because it has been cooked a very delicious dinner menu by Bian.

Shaka also escorted us to the front of the car.

" Thank you very much, Brother, tonight I and my friends can eat well thanks to Brother Bian who wants to bother cooking for us".

Bian nodded while patting Shaka's arm. " Consider it as a gift from your sister because you have become the winner of the singing competition. Congratulations Ka.., Kak Raya had to cry because she was moved and proud to see your victory".

Shaka nodded.

" Kak Raya went home first, it seems like campers want to pray Maghrib congregate in the field. Take good care of yourself here" I told Shaka as I got into Bian's car.

I saw Shaka walking back into the campground and joining his friends who had taken us, but did not get out of the field, they all waved at us as Bian's car started to drive away from the campground.

" Thank you Bi. You helped Shaka and his friends today. I became more and more like you" I said as I wrestled in Bian's arm.

" It's not free that I do all that, there has to be a fee for what I did earlier. You have to grant me one wish" Bian said with a glance and a mischievous smile.

I flicked my lips and guessed, "Most also want to continue that last afternoon, on can not wait a moment longer?, he continued next week, exhausted ijab qobul", my candlestick, he said, deliberately wanted to upset Bian.

" Not continuein who was in the afternoon, but repeat from the beginning, which we did this afternoon" said Bian while chuckling, but his gaze was still focused ahead because he was driving a car.

" Huh... is the same Bi.., this is dark, we stopped by Maghrib at the mosque that just passed Bi, so until the house was Maghrib, worried not to go to the hunt, he said, maghrib's time is just a minute" I asked.

And Bian immediately pulled his car into the courtyard of the mosque, which at that time had just finished praying Maghrib congregation.

" We're maghrib here?", I asked Bian.

Bian nodded and got out of his car, deftly opening the car door for me. And we entered the mosque together to perform Maghrib prayers.
