12. Cook rendang

Cooking activities are still ongoing, Nata chooses to return to the living room leaving Nia and her mother who is cooking.

"Neng, where does Jakarta live?" ask Mak Leha.

"I contracted near the factory." Reply Nia While stirring her rendition.

"alone?" Ask Mak Leha while preparing the dishes for them to eat

"Two friends" Mom." Answer Nia

Mak Leha asked Nia a lot of things.

About him, even his family.

Nia answered as is.

About his mother who was just a laundry worker and his father who left a long time ago.

"The window is ripe. Let's eat." Take Mak Leha

Nia simply smiled as she helped bring the food to the dining table.

"Tong, let's eat first." Shouted Mak Leha calling Nata.

"Yes Mak" replied Nata from inside the room.

Because of waiting too long for Nia and her mother to cook, Nata felt very bored and chose to move to the room.

Nata also came to the dining table.

"Well, well, the cooking looks really good." Nata said when he saw the food

"It's Nia's cooking, she's good at cooking it turns out."Mak Leha praised.

"Mom could have. It just helps." Replied Nia who did not feel good to be praised excessively.

"The windows are so good." Nia said while eating.

"This is a hereditary recipe from my grandmother who was originally a Padang person. You have to come here often to learn to make this rendang." Nata

After finishing eating and helping Mak Leha beberes and relax for a while, Nia said goodbye to go home.

"Mom, I'm going home." Nia.

"Kok Very rushed. You stay over, and sleep with your mother."

Nia just smiled awkwardly and did not know how to refuse.

"Yes Ma'am" answered Nia

"What does Mom say, you should stay over" Nata said with a smile.

Nia did not answer just slightly rounding her eyes as a sign of unwillingness.

Mak Leha returned with a package in her hand.

"This is the shawl we cooked. You brought yes!" Said Mom giving a pack of lunch box containing the rendang to Nia.

"No, ma'am, I've eaten here"

"It's okay. You like it, it's for rent. You can eat with your friends." Mak Leha was forced.

"Udah take it. My mother likes maksha." Whisper Nata to Nia.

Nia finally accepted it.

After saying goodbye and shaking hands, Nia went home with being delivered back by Nata.

"Thank you." Nata said when he arrived in front of Nia's rented alley.

"Thank you for what?" nia replied while opening the helmet.

"Yes, for today." Answer Nata.

"By the way you didn't make me stop by?" Nata said when Nia gave the helmet she had worn to Nata.

"Will you stop by?" Nia

"Yes, if I'm offered to." Nata

"Go on." Nia also returned to ride the Nata motorbike because Nata wanted to stop by his contract.

"That's my contract." Point Nia at a lined tenement.

Nia came back down.

"Come on. He said he'd stop by. There's Laila inside" said Nia who saw Nata not get off his bike.

"No need, I just want to know which contract you are, so that if you pick up can come and knock on the door." Say Nata with Nada jokingly.

"Then I go home." Pamit Nata waved her hand.

while Nia only replied with a nod.
