Love At The End of the Road
Ballad Ote-ote

January opened his eyes this morning casually, the end of the week is a time to rest, he thought.

Last night somehow he could close his eyes, he had asked Tiwi for help to ask a reliable lawyer to court Naya tomorrow, indeed Elis had asked his best friend who is a lawyer to help but January insisted on still asking Tiwi to prepare the best lawyer to take care of Naya's problems.

Samar heard the sound of activity in the kitchen making January rush up from his bed.

Chequek.

"Lho Mas Jan, at home? I thought Mom, Jan mas went with Nay to Vega's morning walk."

"No, Mom, I just woke up?when are they leaving?"

"Maybe half an hour ago, I passed each other when I bought vegetables."

By January looking at the clock on the wall, thirty minutes was long enough, even if he followed, they would have been far away.

January also took a sip of water.

"What do you want Heni to cook?"at the sight of Mrs Heni taking out her groceries.

"You make ote-ote, Nay's favorite mbak, mumpung holidays and a lot of time, it just so happens that I buy vegetables and fresh shrimp."

"Ote-ote what's mom?"tanya January was curious because she had just heard it.

"This is a mas, fried flour filled with vegetables, a kind of bakwan but in the love of shrimp" explained Mrs Heni.

"May I help you, ma'am?"pinta January, making Bu Heni's forehead shrivel.

"Can Jan cook?"

"My time in KL was often at home alone Mom, dad and mom in the hospital, so I often cook by myself" he explained.

"Hm good, let's make a mas, but be careful with the oil of his hands yes mas."

"What if you get oil mom, that little thing is a big deal."

"Yes, Jan's hand is white smoothly will be wound later imprinted if the scar is hot oil mah."

"Nothing ma'am, all of you I learned to cook for a future wife."

"Uhukk uhukk."

Bu Heni looked at January with round eyes, no wind no rain, never the handsome man offended his girlfriend eh once confided even already have a wife.

"Drink mom, why do you seem surprised."

"Yes yes, did Jan really have a lover" asked Bu Heni curious.

January nodded for sure.

"Still in the process of ma'am" he replied with a smile.

"Waah congratulations yes, lucky girl who will be a boyfriend mas Jan, spirit yes mas, hopefully mas Jan quickly soan same girl who mas like."

January nodded happily.

Not the girl mom, her inner.

Bu Heni was stunned, January was so painstaking and so focused with his intentions, that even an hour had the handsome man struggling in the kitchen helping him.

"How does mom feel?" tanya January after successfully frying his ote-ore.

"Hm mantul mas, surely Mbak Nay likes.enak, even mother's cooking was equally made by Jan mas" Bu Heni repeatedly gave a thumbs-up in January, even mother's cooking was lost, the taste of January-made ote-ote really fits on the tongue.

"Hm I take a shower, ma'am, maybe they'll be home soon, we'll eat together."

Bu Heni nodded with a smile then prepared the food at the table.

And it was true that a few minutes later Naya and Vega appeared with Vega's face full of sweat.

Vega's breath still seemed to hunt with a kempis chest.

"Hmm Ma'am Heni cooked what? The money is still kissed" said Naya while sniffing her nostrils funny, Vega who did not realize was finally following Naya also penggeluskan nose looking for a source of fragrant cuisine.

"You take a shower first, we'll eat together" Naya and Vega nodded and went to the room.

Chequek.

January appeared with a fresh face and half-wet hair, shorts and a navy blue T-shirt that he was wearing looked fitting on his sturdy body with his chest that was fielded.

"Where are they?"ask her.

With thumping chest January sat waiting impatiently.

Chequek.

With all her might January grasped her nervous heart upon seeing Naya and Vega emerge from the room.

"Hmm you're not out, brother Jan? Is this the weekend?"ask Vega.

January only shook his head but had time to glance at Naya from the corner of his eyes.

Naya casually took the ote-ote and dipped it in the sambal that Bu Heni made.

"Hmm Ma'am Hen, just this time I eat ote-ote as delicious as this" said Naya while rem melek shook his head, January just smiled thinly, just a thin smile, his heart felt happy even his chest like a colorful flower, relieved it felt if Naya liked his cooking.

"Well right.mantul Bu Hen" timpal Vega gave his thumbs up.

"It's made in January, you guys are lucky to enjoy a special cuisine made by his hands,."

"Uhukk..." Naya closes her mouth because the ote-ote inside her mouth is choking in her throat.

"Don't quickly chew it, drink it" January thrusting a glass of water into Naya.

Glek.

I want Naya to disappear from the face of this earth right now, a great shame, when she saw January smiling thinly at her.

"Mbak Nay sprained so good eating ote-ote made by kak January, right mbak?" ask Vega.

Naya nodded slowly.

"Yes, the mother is also surprised that mas Jan was smart to cook, only once taught directly can, he said he would learn to cook for his future wife later" explained Bu Heni.

Naya's eyes became more and more rounded when she saw January just smiled faintly at him.

"J so brother Jan already has a wife?"ask Vega enthusiastically.

"In the process, do'a course hopefully we can unite soon" replied January full of confidence.

"Aamiin.."

"Aamiin.."

Naya looked back at January cynically but finally spoke loudly.

"Aamiin.."

"Naah that"in January's heart cheered with excitement.

"I'm sorry I'm going to my room first, I have something to do" she said to her study.

Naya now feels a little relieved, the appetite that was dusty because of the delicious ote-ote now her mouth feels bitter, gone was her appetite.

Vega and Bu Heni are now cool to enjoy the delicious January cuisine.

"Mbak Nay, I'm sorry tomorrow I can not accompany you the trial, I will have started to enter work, not good at the same feet.eh Mr. January if the first day is truant."

"It's okay Ga, I just ask his do'a so that tomorrow's hearing is smooth."

"Yes mbak, my prayers are always for you, oiya I go home first yes, afraid Dad wait at home."

Vega left after kissing Naya and Heni's left cheek.

"Sunday mbak Vega, along with Mother too, there is something you have to buy in the mini market below"Bu Heni rushed to take a wallet in his room and two other women of that generation went together.

Finished cleaning Naya's equipment and washing their used dishes, the atmosphere of the apartment was quiet again, but suddenly..
