Lenka's Dish
30

"Hola honey, how are you?" Ask Grandmom to Lenka.

"Good grandmom."

"I'm tired of living in the Sky, so early in the morning I want to invite you to exclamations."

"Call-outs, like?" Helena did not understand.

"Cooking? Then later after lunch we go to the boutique to order clothes for your wedding. We went to see Rigel. How's it?"

"Hm. okay. Let's have a grandmom breakfast. I made steamed brownies almonds and fruit smoothies, and then we went to the market, yeah grandmom, I ran out of ingredients."

"All right."

By riding his matic scooter Helena hogs the grandmom towards a traditional market that is not far from its residential complex.

After shopping, the two rushed home.

From afar a crowd of people appeared, making Helena alert and stopping her vehicle.

"What's up, sir?" Helena asked as she passed the horde of people.

"But run, non." Sahut one of the people while pointing towards the motor that has been speeding.

"Ok, take care of the victim sir, I'll go after the hitter." Sahut Helena while spurring the pace of his vehicle.

Grandmom hugged Lenka who sat in front of him and closed his eyes, it was scary for the grandmother when Lenka drove her motorbike through the road, felt like flying.

"Be careful Lenka, don't let us be the next victim." Grandmom's worries.

"Just calm down, grandmom a little more we will equalize the position with the impactor.

"Heiii.. cease to..."

Tin.. Tin.. Tiiinn.

Helena honked her motor horn.

"Hey..."

Tiiinnn..

"Kamuuuu's.. Please stop."

Siiiuut..

Helena managed to get ahead of the young man's bike and instantly blocked his path.

"Reverse, mas. So the man in charge dong." Helena said so faced with the biker.

"What is your business, miss?" The young man was emotional.

"My business is because you've hurt someone else."

"I was in a hurry and anyway if I didn't leave quickly, I could have been judged by the masses." Answer the young man.

Helena glared her eyes and patted the young man on the shoulder 3 times.

"Reverse. There is no mass judgment if your intentions are good, let me accompany." Helena.

Instead of making a protest sound, the young man immediately obeyed Helena's words like a buffalo poked by his nostrils towards the scene.

Helena accompanied the young man to negotiate because his goal was to solve the problem in a family as long as he would bear all the damage to the motor as well as the treatment of the person he hit.

Beres.

After finishing his affairs Helena and grandmom took the young man to a coffee shop not far from the scene.

"Rest for a minute, what exactly makes you rush?" Ask Helena.

"Owh so." Helena reached into something from inside her bag.

"Here, my own homemade banana chips and steamed brownies. Please eat to restore your strength as well for your sister, may the delivery be smooth." Helena put a small food box on the table.

The young man looked at the strange piece of cake Helena had loved for him, hesitantly accepting his gift and starting to eat it.

"Next time don't be like that. Don't want to save one life, so ignore the safety of the other." Helena's Advice.

"Aw.. Thank you for reminding me, Miss. Thanks for the cake, I feel so much better now. Um.. Can we get acquainted? I'm Jeff, I'm.."

"Aren't you in a hurry to get to the hospital?" Grandmom's great-grandson saw the admiration of the young man.

"Ah, yes. Well, excuse me. Thank you and. si.. What's your name?"

"Linka." Answer Helena.

"Nice name, nice to meet you Lenka. See you next time." Pamit Jeff's.

As soon as she got home, Helena and the grandmom were struggling in the kitchen. Tidying up groceries, putting certain food ingredients in the collars, concocting spices, this time the grandmom taught dishes that Lenka had never cooked before.

Helena is very happy even though looking bule, grandmom turned out to be very good at processing a variety of Indonesian specialties.

"When you were close to my grandson, he never said that we have the same passion in cooking. All I know is, you're a cold, indifferent girl. The sky always tells me about your relationship. Time and again Heaven almost gave up because it felt like a lover who was not considered by you, even had to break up right?"

"Yes grandmom, I just.. Ah, I don't know how to be a good lover, because I've never had a boyfriend before. After Sky told me about his past lover, I suddenly felt disappointed because it was just an escape for Heaven. I'm sorry, it even took me 3 years to believe that I misjudged Heaven."

"But you really don't mind the past, do you, dear?"

"Yes, grandmom. Now that I understand, no one is perfect, I'm just proud Heaven doesn't try to cover up to look good. That's what I didn't realize from the beginning because I just saw our relationship as an arranged marriage, just appreciating the good relationship of father and father Surya, hehe."

"Hm. thank goodness Lenka, now you are really ready to be my granddaughter's companion. People who love us would love to know we need them, and feel their existence means something to us, Sky is that kind of person, Lenka."

Lenka smiled.

"And I need the Sky more than I need, he's an amazing supporter for me. I want to get to know the Sky and always want to be the best for the Sky, grandmom."

"Introduction with our partner, will not stop even though we have lived many years with him and marriage will actually open your eyes more about love, understanding makes you always survive in all obstacles. The real sky is a fragile person, he needs your love to keep him strong."

"I lamaaaaang." Shouted the sky that was already in the dining table area.

"Heiii, don't you work this hour already home?" Grandmom.

"The aroma of cooking from this kitchen calls me home for lunch and it makes me hungry, I'm sure my 2 favorite women must have made something special, huh kaaannn?" Sky Sahut.

"Isa.. Long time I can diabetes often hear the talk of your sweet mouth." Tukas.

"Honey, while lunch is ready, please call father and papa, yes. They're making something on the side." Pinta Helena's.

"Ready, carry out my love immediately." The sky answered while stealing a kiss on Lenka's cheek.

"Ishh.."

"But shuka kaaan, meet your cheeks red." Tempt the Sky again.

The sky was happy now that he felt he had an actual lover. Especially when looking at papa and Pak Kasan getting familiar. Sky grateful, his future father-in-law could also accept his embarrassing past.

"Because of your love I'm strong." He muttered while smiling.

Over and over again, the Sky still gets temptation from Mayleen who honestly has the potential to shake her faith as an adult man let alone indeed the Sky still holds 'flavor' against Mayleen, which is very potentially shaky, especially if they remember when they were still living together, duuuhhh..

"Gee.. This special." The sky adds sprouts over the rice that has been doused in rawon sauce. Don't forget he added a squeeze of grapefruit and sambel tomato."

"Happy Lang, enjoy our special 2-woman collaboration meal this afternoon." Mr. Surya chimed while picking tempe mendoan.

"Yes, make me always want to go home to eat together, hehe." Answer the Sky.
