Chapter 34

That night Rinjani accidentally cooks a special meal for her grandfather. This was the first time he had cooked food for his beloved grandfather. He never could cook. Rinjani began to learn to cook when she was married to God. Her husband patiently taught her all about kitchen utensils and cooking spices. 

His first cooking was frying tofu and tempeh. Then, cook beef eggs, egg omelet, and crisscross to cook stir-fry vegetables and vegetables. Every day she breaks down learning to cook so that it tastes better by the day.

Don't ask how the cooking tastes. Of course every time he cooked it didn't taste bad. Sometimes salty because most salt or tasteless because of lack of salt. Sometimes sweetness is an excess of sugar. However, all the dishes were always eaten by the Gods. The man appreciates his efforts. Although the food was not worth eating.

Unlike this time, Rinjani is already proficient in a wide variety of cuisines. He makes tofu pepes and presto milkfish. His grandfather loved to eat fish like Azzam. In addition, he also cooked the favorite spicy sour squid Aqilah and himself.

The fragrant seasoning made by Rinjani directly attacked the entire kitchen room. Of course this makes people who smell the cuisine want to immediately taste the taste.

"Hmm, it's very fragrant" said Grandpa Atmaja as he swallowed his saliva. He really can't wait to feel the first food made by Rinjani for himself.

"Grandfather, you know what? That mom's cooking is the best in the world!" attar said very convincingly.

"Well, really? Then grandfather must often eat your mother's cooking" replied Grandpa Atmaja.

Not long after, Rinjani came with two servants who brought all the food and put it on the dining table. Atmaja's grandfather was impatient to eat pepes of milkfish that had been bought suddenly by one of his employees. Rinjani serves her grandfather as well as Attar. He picked up a little rice and pepes of fish wrapped in banana leaves. 

Meanwhile, Aqilah and Azzam took their own food. Rinjani was delighted when she saw her family enjoying the food she was cooking.

"May I add more, right?" asked Grandpa Atmaja timidly. Only this time did he feel the pleasure of eating after such a long time. It turns out that eating together with his family makes his appetite increase.

"May, but a little. Grandpa don't eat too much rice" said Rinjani, taking a little rice to his grandfather's plate.

It turns out that the three Rinjani children also asked for more. They are very happy to eat good food. Tonight they were very happy and satisfied after dinner together.

"Grandfather wants to stay like this forever" Grandpa Atmaja told Rinjani after he finished eating.

The woman who was staring at the old man only smiled as she nodded. He felt the same tonight. Feelings of happiness can regroup and see a loved one after a long time.

The unexpected thing just before going to bed was that Grandpa Atmaja wanted to sleep with his three grandchildren. Of course it was welcomed by the Rinjani children. Now they are all in a very large bedroom. Fortunately their bodies were small and the size of the mattress was quite large, so it could make everyone.

"here, Cake. Let sister massage," Aqilah said as she massaged the old man's shoulder who was now sitting on the bed.

"Sister also wants Grandpa's massage," Attar said while massaging Grandpa Atmaja's arm and for him felt like he was in elus.

"Then let the legs that are massaged with Brother," continued Azzam did not want to lose. 

"Well, Grandpa's granddaughter is very smart to massage.

Then you can ask for a massage every day on the three of you," said Grandpa Atmaja.

"Can't be every day, Cake. Dad said it was good once a month. But it can also be once a week, not every day, it is not good for the body" explained Aqilah.

"Yes, Cake. Grandpa can soak in hot water. Uh, that means warm water," continued Azzam and closed his mouth accompanied by laughter.

Rinjani who peeked through the doorway smiled happily when she saw the interaction between the grandfather and his three children.

'Alhamdulillah. You have softened the hearts of grandfathers and children, so that they love and love one another.' (Kranjani)

Rinjani deliberately did not join there because he wanted to give space and time so that the four people could interact more freely. Although he had felt anxious about the rejection of the brother against the children. But now it's all unproven. Precisely Grandpa Atmaja felt very happy because of the presence of new members in his family.

In the morning the three children Rinjani invited to walk by Atmaja's grandfather to surround his yard while exercising in the morning. The number of trees and flowers that grow there make the air there feel fresh and fragrant. Aqilah and Azzam were running around here and there, while Attar and Grandpa Atmaja were just walking around chatting. Although Attar spoke sometimes still slurred, but the old man could understand his words.

"Grandfather, we'll play at our house, yeah!" pinta Attar who walked hand in hand with Grandpa Atmaja.

"Anything is there in the village?" ask the 80-year-old.

"much. There are cows that have Mbah Jurig, ducks that belong to Mang Sapri, then there are also large birds that belong to Mr. RT," replied Attar while pointing his finger.

"Sir RT has a big bird? What bird is that?" ask Grandpa Atmaja curious.
