Aulia and Lala are helping mama Benki to prepare dinner interspersed with exciting chats about their respective activities. Then put the food on the dining table.
Benki and Aulia looked at each other with smiles engraved on each other's lips. Dinner started when everyone was at the dinner table and ate solemnly when Melati opened her voice.
"Oh yes ma, pa. There's a pr from college who asked about the meaning of our respective names ?"
"That's the name ?" The father asked confused.
"Yes pa, look at it. The wife of one of the lecturers just gave birth so that the baby may not have a name so we were all asked to ask the meaning of each name. Maybe if it's good he wants to give the name to his son !" Obviously Jasmine.
The two old men looked at each other.
"Ng, your name means Ng... Oh yea.. Holy and fragrant like a jasmine flower !" Obviously the father made the mother smile in embarrassment.
"Your name is taken from the name of the yacht that once papa and mama climbed when you were not born, the name Harum Melati so your name papa mama took from there !" Added the mama.
"Oh, okay !" Melati understands.
"If my name is what does it mean ?" Benki.
Hearing that, the faces of Benki's parents turned red and looked at each other with shame and nervousness.
"Mom, ma. Benjamin Qitela Shine what does it mean ?" Benki is confused to see the reaction of both parents.
Mama Benki looked down embarrassed, not daring to stare at anyone at the table.
"Hmmm... It was..... !" The mother slapped her husband's arm before the old man finished his words.
Everyone was waiting for what the father would say.
"Oh, are you ashamed to say it ?"
"Eh, does the meaning of my name mean shame ?" Benki glaring.
"No, it's not so !".
"Keep ?"
The papa looked one by one at the dinner table and convinced himself that all those who were there were adults. Papa Benki took a breath before saying something.
"You remember our cassava garden that became a legend ? That's the legacy you get !"
"Yes pa, papa will often tell stories since we have a cassava garden that our family's economy is improving and until whenever papa will not sell the cassava garden !" Benki.
"True, in addition to producing a lot of cassava that improves the economy of our family, the cassava garden also helps papa get offspring !" Papa Benki's words are ambiguous.
"I mean ?" Benki and Melati asked simultaneously. Mom and Dad looked at each other in shame.
"When mom and dad were just getting married. Our lives are very simple and mediocre but we are happy, aren't we ma ? And we want to have children soon just not windfall even until the third year of our marriage, until papa got the inheritance of the cassava garden from your grandfather and yes after working on it and has a lot of results and successfully changed the economy of our family !" Papa Benki glares considering that every time the harvest, the garden will produce abundant cassava.
All were speechless at what other words would come out of Papa Benki.
"Actually, you were made in that cassava garden ?" The father dared to say that.
"Huh ?" Benki, Lala and Aulia were shrieking simultaneously.
"What do you mean ?" Benki asked again.
Mama Benki's face is like a boiled crab while the face of the papa is also no less red.
"Yes that time the situation and conditions support so yes. yes.well that's it !"
"That's it !" Benki.
"After that, your mother finally got pregnant. Thank God, the cassava garden has many benefits !"
Aulia and Lala stared at each other and compactly held back the laughter that wanted to spurt out when they understood the direction of this conversation.
"Casskin garden ? So it means that at that time papa and mama did not have a mattress made in the cassava garden !" Benki. He also began to understand the direction of the conversation and immediately did not accept being made in the cassava garden.
"It's not so !" Sela the mama.
"Make it on a cake mattress, even in a cassava garden. Papa and Mama are not really capital !" Omel Benki while the others just desperately held back a laugh.
"Yes papa has tried 3 years in the mattress but not so-so new time in the garden of cassava wah directly so !" Bela the papa.
Jasmine's laughter immediately gushed out hearing that made the brother look at her horror but it made Melati's laughter even louder.
"When you are born and our family economy is getting better so papa take you on vacation on a cruise ship because since marriage papa never take mama for a walk well after returning from the cruise ship your mother is pregnant again, so papa gave Melati's name using the name of the yacht !" Obviously the papa.
Benki's face is not pleasant to look at, he compares made on a cruise ship and the garden makes it unacceptable. He looked back at his sister's horror.
"So what does my name mean ?" Benki is suspicious about the cassava garden.
"That means your name is........!"
"What ?"
"The shining cassava !" Said the steady papa.
DOENGS.
The atmosphere of the dining table boomed for a moment. Aulia and Lala could no longer hold back their laughter after hearing that. The two laughed back and forth without being able to stop even though Benki's face was like a lightning bolt that was ready to strike them both.
Lala even slumped from the chair making the laughter in the room even louder. Lala got up and sat back on the chair with a hard laugh stopped.
For a long time the laughing session lasted, it was very difficult to stop laughing let alone see the face of Benki red yellow green, he seemed injured after knowing the process of his occurrence.
"The cassava garden, until anytime never sold ya. Whatever happens, preserve it and its legacy to our next generation. The garden has a huge impact on our success and hopefully for you and your children. !" The father said seriously after everyone stopped his laughter.
All who heard him smiled.
"If you are married later, try to go to our cassava garden. Who knows if it will be !" He looked at Benki and Aulia alternately.
Hearing it all gawked and joined staring at the object in question.
"What's going on ?" Benki stared in horror at her papa.
"Yes, doing in that open place, adrenaline-pumping and full of challenges. Try if you are married later once tried must be addicted !"
Everyone laughed again while Aulia was downcast very embarrassed to hear that and Benki did not ask, her face was getting more unpleasant to see. Benki and Aulia's views meet and both bow to shame.
"If now you can not om, because satellite cameras are increasingly sophisticated. Ants lined up so he can get a clear and clear image especially Segede's body is definitely a cool spectacle for people who are directly connected to the satellite camera !" Lala.
"Imagine, one of the well-known directors of a large Indonesian company was found to do delicious in the cassava garden, it destroyed the reputation. Hahaha !" Lala again laughed amusedly with her own talk followed by Melati.
"Not to mention, being bitten by ants or other small animals in the garden will certainly damage the atmosphere !" Added Lala.
"Hmmm... Is that so ? Too bad, even though the open is very challenging plus full AC !"
Lala and Melati laughed again. While Benki and Aulia shy abisss. Even so, Benki was quite relieved to see Lala who came back cheerful and laughed like that.
*****
After the spectacular dinner session, Lala decided to stay and head straight to the guest room to watch television while Benki took Aulia to the back garden.
2 The lovebirds stared at the starless night sky with a strong wind blowing through the bodies of both.
"I have something for you !" Benki.
"What brother ?"
Benki fingered her pants pocket and pulled something out of there and showed it to Aulia.
Aulia was initially glued to see the object then smiled looking at the couple ring on Benki's palm. The guy grabbed Aulia's hand and put the ring on the girl's finger making Aulia moved.
Uncommanded, Aulia grabs the other ring and pairs the ring on Benki's finger. After that, the two looked at each other with happy smiles.
Aulia reached out and hugged Benki, hearing the rhythm of the man's heartbeat and enjoying the scent of Benki's excellent perfume. Benki hugged Aulia's body back while peeping the top of the girl's head.
A sense of happiness that cannot be expressed in words makes both of them enjoy a hug that minimizes the cold due to the strong wind.
"Sorry, I give you this cheap ring !" Benki's words made Syifa hit him on the back.
"Don't talk like that, brother, this is great. I really like !" Syifa looked up at Benki.
Syifa again popped her head in Benki's chest enjoying Benki's rather fast heart rhythm.
"Thank you !" Syifa.
"Thank you too !" Benki tightened her embrace after kissing the girl's long forehead.
"I Love You !" Benki said over Aulia's head.
"I Love You too kak !" Replied Aulia was still enjoying Benki's heartbeat.
Lala and Melati, who saw the scene from the balcony upstairs, smiled at the romantic scene.
"Hopefully they could get married soon, it doesn't seem to hold up !" Lala.
"For the cassava garden ?" Jasmine.
The two reflexively shut their mouths as they would laugh out loud again and rush towards their respective rooms before the lovebirds realized their presence.
