My Little Prince's
Dango Cake

"It looks like Yuko and I will talk about it again first, Auntie ... Om .." said Haku.

"alright. If you can, don't be long, darling. There's no harm in getting married young." said my mother, staring at me. I just smiled a little and looked down.

After that conversation we immediately eat dinner together in the dining room. Not much chatter when we enjoy dinner, just a few small talk.

"Do you like the cooking, Haku? This is the family's secret recipe." asked my aunt while eating dinner.

"Yes, I like it, Auntie. It's so delicious!" sahut Haku is friendly.

"Ah, Thank goodness. Most men in our family don't like pumpkin vegetables ..."

"Hc ... I like it." said Haku with a smile.

After dinner we go to the living room. This time we enjoyed the movie together and drank red wine.

They were all so excited to watch and talk. And also occasionally sip their red wine.

I came back from the kitchen and brought some Dango and Susuki Cakes. Although autumn is still 2 days away, Bibi insists on making some Dango and Susuki cakes.

Actually, the cakes are usually served during the Tsukimi traditional event (the act of looking at the moon).

This festival has been around since ancient times in Japan. At this festival the Japanese usually enjoy the view of the full moon in the clear sky. The festival is usually held on August 15 according to the lunar calendar. But this time the event was held around mid-September to early October.

Dango cake is one of the delicacies of Japan and is very funny shaped. Cake made from rice flour or wheat flour is one of the favorite snacks in Japan. The shape is small and round with a very soft texture, chewy and some of them have a bland taste. However, Dango has many variants that can be eaten.

One of the most favorite Dango in Japan is Hanami Dango. This dango variant consists of three colors, namely green, white and pink which are then made into one skewer. Green color is the taste of green tea (matcha), white without taste and pink cherry blossom flavor.

Hanami Dango is usually served in spring at hanami celebrations or cherry blossom parties. In addition, the Japanese people used to enjoy it with a glass of green tea. But my aunt made us this too. Ahahaha ...

Dango is another favorite, Mitarashi Dango. This one variant is simple enough to make it, just with a mixture of rice flour, glutinous flour and sugar. Then it was roasted and smeared with sauce.

The sauce that makes this one dango unique. The sauce is made from a mixture of fish sauce, water, cornstarch and sugar. So that this dango has a manih and savory taste that fits on the tongue.

I put the cookies on the table and then I sat down next to Haku. And he welcomed me warmly.

"I don't think you're coming tonight, Haku ... Because your phone isn't active." I said slowly.

"It's because Ken played the game on my phone this afternoon. And I didn't get to charge my phone. Sorry, yes ..." Haku grabbed my finger and grasped it.

It seemed that his magical hand had given me warmth and peace. Seeing all that, all my members seemed to get excited and whispered back to each other. Except my mom and dad were just smiling to see us.

I felt a little embarrassed by their eyes. Slowly I tried to pull my hand from Haku. But Haku grasped it even tighter. And he smiled warmly at me too.

Oh My! Maybe my face is back red.

In the evening, people started lighting firecrackers outside. They heard their voices so loud.

We all sat down and watched a movie together. With Dango cake dishes, ocha tea, there is even red wine.

"My ... Such a good name! And it's great to share this meal at our first meeting. Cheers .." said my uncle by offering a glass of red wine and taking Haku toast.

Haku immediately picked up his drink and toasted with the others as well.

"Thank you, Uncle. But this was the first time Uncle invited me to dinner at home. And I'm a little late. So I'll drink 3 glasses for the penalty." said Haku slowly.

"Well. Okay ..." said my Uncle.

Haku started sipping 2 glasses of red wine quickly and grimaced a little. I tried to flick him, but he just smiled and immediately gulped down the last glass.

"Good man! Good man! I'll drink too!" my uncle then gulped down his drink.

In my nervousness it was as if everything had become unbecoming. I have been preparing and waiting for this meeting. Everything I had prepared seemed to disappear and disappear due to my nervousness.

"I don't know your favorite food. So we're just cooking some of these cookies" my aunt said.

"I like sweet-smelling cakes." My mom said.

"Everything is great. And I love it Auntie, Auntie .." said Haku with a smile.

"Say, Haku. How does your family usually celebrate the autumn welcome festival? Is it with dinner at home? Or dinner outside the house?" ask my aunt again.

"We celebrate at home. Because Dad usually comes home late at night. And I think all festivals are the same. No different than any other day." said Haku.

"Oh, Young man. Obviously when there is a celebration you should spend more time with family" said my aunt.

Their conversation continues. And Haku seems to be getting used to my family.

I kept watching him because I felt a little worried if he felt uncomfortable. But every time I see him, Haku always puts his warm smile on me. It's as if she said "I'm fine, Yuko."

And I can only reply with my smile.

My uncle and Dad are smoking on the balcony. Mom and Aunt are busy in the kitchen. Ayana is busy with her phone.

"I, are you okay?"

"I'm doing fine. Only 3 glasses of red wine! It's not a problem and I won't get drunk!" she smiled at me.

"I'm sorry if my family makes you feel a little uncomfortable .." I said slowly.

"No problem though. I like them."

"My ... You have always been there for me. And if you need a shoulder to lean on ... I will always be there for you." I said slowly.

I've never seen a Haku who's a little nervous and a little depressed like tonight. I always saw the cheerful, strong, warm Haku. I forgot something if also he could be like this ...
