It's Not Sleep That Makes Me Dream, But You
Chapter 25: Meat Soup

One by one they took out the luggage they were referring to. Flowers remove some raw food packages packed with sterophom containers wrapped in thin plastic. I do not know what kind of packing model is called, anyway if you buy vegetables, fruit, or meat and others in the supermarket or minimarket will usually find a packaging model like that.

"Gue take this." Flowers put it on a one-on-one table.

Flowers carry sausages that are large in size, the number is three packages, per package contains five sausages, meaning there are fifteen sausages in total. Trus, Adit bring meat with various slices, some are thinly sliced in square slices, some are in rectangular flat slices and so on. While Olivia took out various vegetables from a white plastic bag that she had brought, Olivia brought macems, there was lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage, toge, broccoli, long beans and others. I was silent for a while, realising that their preparations for this mallem turned out to be more mateng than me.

"You're so intent, so take it home."  I said.

"Don't say 'so' dong, Riyan!" Olivia suddenly warned me. "It's all unsourced food." Continue with a pouting face.

"I was the same flower no intention to burn meat and wait for the change of year with usual, anyway." Adit looked at Olivia and I followed Adit.

Oh, so the kindest lady is the one planning the dinner tonight. All the groceries they will be processing also look luxurious, I'm sure all result from a joint venture of their money. I did not join the joint venture because I was not told, and that does not mean I have to pay the joint venture now, if I am asked also I do not want to. But, I also have the right to enjoy eating later even though I did not join the joint venture, because I already willing the place, so for me it is free. I'm sure, the one who gives the most joint money to buy everything is Olivia.

Not long after, Rangga also took out something from the plastic bag next to him. He mengeluarin a packet of white mushrooms that can be cooked and have a good taste, I forget what the name of the mushroom is, anyway it's ordinary mushrooms in the same vegetable made chrispy menu. Rangga also mengeluarin other ingredients such as instant spices and others.

"That's all, right?" Ask Olivia who made everyone nod except me.

I stared at all the things on the long table of the living room in front of the five of us. It's totally unexpected. How huh? Actually it is said to be seneng because the friends are not so in my house. Because I think the cooking show as big as kayak gini it must be troublesome, males. Said to hate also not, because I can eat good free malem, bother little because help cook no problem deh, because anyway in the end I will enjoy the hinya too, rarely nih, because, eat good quality meat, itung-itung nutritional improvement.

"Ah, yes, seinget me, you have a portable electric stove right, yan?"

"???" I fell silent buried in question marks on the head when Adit said that. She knows where it came from?

Actually, in this house there is a potable electric stove. That stove's got my sister, a birthday present from her friend. Seinget me, both my brother and I myself have never used the stove to cook, in fact, the stove is still wrapped neatly in the glass cabinet in the kitchen.

"Do you know where I have a portable electric stove?" I looked at Adit. "Suspicious."

Instead of feeling cornered because I suspected it, he proudly said, "hehe."

"Know where?" Ask me casually. I was curious, as far as I know he never played in the kitchen when visiting here.

"Inget no, about two weeks ago I fit in here, I went to the bathroom daft?"

I nodded in horror Adit.

"Well, at that time I fit through the kitchen squirming there is an electric stove one furnace is still not open."

Jeli was also he when I put it with a position stacked by other items neatly arranged vertically, so he was definitely just able to see the side of the box from outside the glass furniture cabinet.

Adit was very thorough as it turned out, I'm sure other people would not know if the object in the box was an electric stove if he squirmed it from the side as Adit did, the picture of the stove is only in the bag above the box, while in each corner is only plain white. It's amazing Adit can know that the one in the box is the stove.

"Gue let's take that stove to the kitchen no problem, right?"

"Please, but be careful."

Adit moved from his sitting position to walk to the kitchen.

Bunga turned on a TV that broadcast a music concert in the capital, which would later also feature a year-over-year countdown. New year's cliche and special events. Almost every year surely television stations will not show music concerts and countdowns, keep fireworks, for the sake of rating.

The five of us savored the meat soup and the chrispy mushroom voraciously. Once in a while Adit took rice from the magic jar that I moved from the kitchen, to the living room. Thin smoke coming out of the dalem magic jar indicates that the rice is still anget. Eating meat soup accompanied by syrup and ice cream together can feel pleasant and heartwarming despite the jealousy of his ex-girlfriend.

After eating, Adit burps because of the satiety. Among us he seemed to be the one who ate the most.

"Alhamdulilah." Said Adit while holding his stomach.

"Enak, right, dit?" Ask Olivia to Adit.

"Yes, sally, bwngeyt luivv." Flowers while chewing.

"Telen just talked!" I'm advising.

Then Olivia continued to say, "Thank God that you like the menu from me." Olivia smiled happily.

But really, our cooking is delicious. This is all thanks to Olivia's recipe guide. I know from pas still dating if he likes to cook, but I did not think it would be as good as it was.

I looked at the pot containing meat soup, on the electric stove money still raises thin smoke. Honestly, this is the first time I have ever eaten a recipe from my ex. From the first pas still dating I never menggerasain cuisine him because half of our relationship is LDR, because different schools. Uh, no idea obedience can ngrasain cooking he fit already the other. Although delicious, but there is a little bland, maybe mixed with jealousy.

"Yes?"

"Hmm?" I answered Adit's call.

"There's something I want to break." Said Adit.

"By the way." I hold my chin up, ready to listen.

Olivia and Rangga who are still eating for a moment stop their activities and pay attention to me and Adit, as if waiting for a romantic scene from a romantic gay couple. (WHICH OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT HOMO, IF ADIT SHOOTS ME, IT'S A DISASTER FOR ME, I SWEAR NORMAL.)

"It can't be here, we'll go to your room." Reply Adit.

"Om not to." I tried to joke.

Olivia and Rangga are increasingly looking at us with suspicious looks.

Adit stood up while carrying his backpack. He started to walk to my room. I think there's something serious he wants to talk about.

Damn, Rangga same Olivia even mengeliatin me and Adit with serious eyes, as if thinking I and Adit are actually a gay couple. God fucking.

I don't know what Adit wants to say. I think it's about comics. Because it's just that, which Adit will take seriously. I'M NOT HOMO, I'M NORMAL. IF ADIT IS TURNING I'M WRONG MILIH TEMEN AND NOW I'M DALEM DANGER!

Seriate…
