Loving You for Being Ordinary
Soto Bowl

"Almost, if we stand there longer, it'll be drenched." Hana looked out the window, it was raining very hard. Many bikers who stop and take shelter wait either until when the rain will subside, some are looking for shelter to wear the coat they have. The cars are traveling at moderate to low speeds, as rain interferes with vision while driving.

"Yes, it's raining so hard."

Navya how is it!? He's home alone.

"I'm so happy. Tonight can be the same, my dear. I want to be with you every day."

Only responded with a smile by Dafin while holding Hana's hand. They had just five minutes into the car Dafin was driving to his apartment. The rain fell suddenly, as if describing the sadness of one's heart.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Hmm... What is it... ? I want to eat soto rice that is given a squeeze of lime, keep mango ice cream. Duhhh still mention it, the favor is already felt in my mouth."

"Why suddenly want soto? Usually you don't like to eat rice when it's this night!? Because the weather is cold, are you sure you want to eat ice cream?"

"It's okay, baby, sometimes it doesn't matter. Wh why? You're afraid I'm fat, aren't you?" Direct pout mode.

"It's not... You are the one who always limit your appetite for fear of your weight going up. I never forced you to go on a strict diet."

But the girl's expression still hasn't changed. "Try you search on the internet, where soto stalls still open at this hour. We'll go straight there."

"Okee's.." It changes very quickly. "The same ice cream shop as well.."

"Yeah..."

Hana was excited, Dafin was willing to obey his wishes.

Fifteen minutes later they had arrived at a shophouse selling soto and several other menus before they had stopped by the ice cream shop and bought a cup of mango ice cream that Hana asked for. Actually it's almost closed, some employees are cleaning the table and composing chairs.

Dafin and Hana got out of the car and walked over to someone who was cleaning a few bowls on the table, some customers had just left the stall. Treating their hunger.

"Good night, Ma'am.." Was friendly.

"Mas, is it still open?" Dafin asked because he saw that some chairs were already stacked.

"Sorry Mas actually wanted to close, Alhamdulillah was the race that stopped by." Naturally, the weather after the rain is perfect for enjoying a bowl of warm soto. With a rice filling or with a plate of warm rice. "Can I help you?" ask him politely.

Hana is almost dashed hope to enjoy a bowl of soto with a feeling of lime. Fresh and savory...

"Is there anything left? want to order soto? My wife's cravings, she's eating sota now." Hana was of course surprised by Dafin's statement. Could be using the reason for cravings. The young man then turned to look at Hana for a bit. His face was very much expecting to be able to enjoy soto this time as well.

A woman who looked the same age as the man had come closer to them.

"Sir, sorry in advance. Actually there is still a sotoya, but the filling is not complete. Only the choice of beef and chicken, sprouts and vermicelli is exhausted. Does she still want to?" Only women can understand women.

"I'm also pregnant young mbak, it feels when we want something will be more delicious if we get it right then and there." He smiled as he stroked his stomach which had begun to bulge but had not been seen if only a glance.

Hana was a little hesitant, feeling a bit uneasy actually at the woman. Because Dafin lied just so he could enjoy soto.

"It's okay, Ma'am. I just want to use beef. Don't forget the lime cut, Ma'am "

"good. Please sit down first, Ma and Mas. I'll heat the sauce first." The woman and her husband then agreed to prepare the order requested by Hana.

They sit waiting for soto to be served. He approached Dafin and struck Dafin in the hand. "Darling, you don't have to lie. Could use the reason I'm craving."

Dafin laughs. He also had a reflex on why he could say that. "Well if I don't make excuses you're craving, do you think they'll serve us. While you're looking at it for yourself, they're already going to close the stall."

True too, some of the chairs have been stacked onto the table. The floor was already on a clean sweep, an employee prepared to mop it up. Caused because the two of them suddenly came.

It was not until ten minutes that two bowls of soto were already available in front of them. Hana was impatient to eat it, immediately took the spoon and fork. "Be careful it's still hot Mommy." The woman who owned the stall smiled cutely at Hana's behavior. Hana was ashamed of herself.

"Please enjoy it, Ma'am." This time her husband spoke. Then they went inside.

Dafin gave five hundred thousand bills to the shop owner.

"It's mostly Mas." Confused he accepted the money.

"Nothing Mas, this is the sustenance of Mas as Mbaknya, also for the prospective baby." Dafin.

"Alhamdulillah... Thank you very much, my. May the content of Mas's wife is also healthy always." Hana funny herself heard the prayer from Siang Soto seller.

"Thank you Ma'am, the soto is delicious." This time Han spoke to his wife.

"Same-sama Ma'am, thank you very much "

Then they moved from the soto shop. Go home to the apartment that Hana lives in. Tonight according to his promise to Hana, he's staying there. Actually he was still confused, what reason would he give Navya. Because the girl only knows that she and Hana are dating.

Almost one in the morning they arrived at the door of the apartment. Dafin forgot that his phone was left in the car. "Darling, hp I missed. You go in first yes, I go down first. "

Hana who is sleepy just say yes.

Picked up his phone from the car, and Dafin checked it. There were several calls and a message from Alvi.

So surprised he saw the photo that Alvi sent. How can Navya be in the hospital. With Alvi.

Breath roaring. He doesn't accept. Called Navya but was not picked up. Then he called Alvi directly.

"What's going on?"

"Do you not want to thank me, I saved your wife.

Oh but it doesn't seem necessary, I did it out of concern for Navya, not because she's my cousin's sister's wife."

"Sister? Why is he in the hospital."

"He saw you and Hana."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, maybe he followed you all the way to that place."

"......."

"Actually Navya doesn't want me to tell you. I should have been happy. But I don't want to be a bad man, you still have the right to know the state of Navya.

All right, I'm hanging up."

The phone connection was cut off by Alvi without waiting for Dafin's answer. The man was still leaning on the door of his car.

I'm sure Navya was asleep. How could he be there. What if Al contacts Mami to let Navya know.

The sound of the ringing of the cell phone scattered his daydream. Hana calls him and asks him why he's been so long.

"Dear, I'm going up now. I was still looking around, forgetting where to put it."
