''Yes, Dad. Alia did not enter work. Oh yes Alia greeting no one answered. Where's dad from?''

''So the father of Mr. Rt's house. It is a regular citizen event every month. The event was in Majuin this afternoon, because Mr. Rt later tonight there is a family event.''

''Yes, I've sat down first, the dinner will soon be ready.''

''Oh yes, you cook it a lot. Do you want guests?''

''No. Kok. This is Andra asking Alia to cook for Elvan. Previously Andra wanted to bring it from the cafe and cooked by himself but did not hunt because the cafe again rame and Andra still not pede to masakin others, Yah.''

''Dadasae the boy. Want to have a cafe and even cook not yet pede, said Mr. Samir chuckled.

''Oh yes, you all bring Elvan a fried banana. That's the banana still. I think he likes it. He has been good at repairing Andra's motorbike like new, said Mr. Samir.

''Yes, Father. Alia makein Elvan fried banana.''

''Yes already then I change clothes first huh.''

''Yes, Dad.''

''Father why is it so good the same Elvan, '' muttered Alia in a heart full of wonder. After finishing dinner and Andra was home, Andra and Alia immediately went to Elvan's house. In the middle of the journey Andra and Alia were involved in a conversation.

''Did you say thank you to Elvan? Did Mas Elvan tell us to pay?''

''After Andra. He didn't tell me to pay.''

''It's so good of him, brother. Sorry brother if I trouble Brother to cook.''

''It's nothing. Than you buy mending cook yourself.''

''I was going to make it to Elvan's own sister but I haven't done it yet, hehehe. Especially the cafe was crowded. Oh yes Alia brother got greetings from Mr. Rendra. Mr. Rendra wants Kak Ala to visit his cafe.''

''Yes God willing if it has been payday Brother there.'' Alia.

''I think Mr. Rendra likes you the same brother. He is also very good with me. Even every day always nitip greetings to Brother.''

''You're not making it up.''

''Yes, my real sister. Cook the hell I lied. But Mas Elvan is also good. Well, I'm confused about choosing who deserves to be my sister-in-law said Andra chuckled.

''You don't have to be weird, Andra. There's-There's just you.''

''Actually I also save the taste for Rendra but we have promised to prostrate to each other to get the right soul mate, '' Alia murmured in her heart.

Arriving at Elvan's house, security immediately let Andra and Alia into the living room.

''Assalamualikum,'' said Alia.

''Very big indeed, his house. Kayak palace, said Andra who was so amazed.

''Waalaikumsalam,'' replied Bi Minah who walked closer towards the living room.

''Eh Mbak Alia,'' cried Bi Minah.

''Bi, Elvan is.''

''Oh there is, Ma'am. Please sit down, Ma'am. I call Den Elvan first. From there in the room. Though I have prepared dinner, uh not out too.''

''Yes, Bi.'' Answer Alia. Bi Minah immediately headed for Elvan's room. Elvan was sitting on her bedroom couch staring at her ipad screen, watching the stock market and secretly owned it. Not forgetting a glass of wine was in his grasp.

''Look to tok tok tok! Den Elvan has a guest. There is Mbak Alia downstairs, said Bi Minah from behind the door.

''Alia? Why is he here at this hour, '' muttered Elvan. But somehow hearing Alia's name, made her feel happy.

''Yes, tell me to wait, '' said Elvan.

''Well, Den.'' Said Bi Minah who was leaving immediately. Elvan rushed to the mirror to tidy up her hair and clothes. Not to forget she sprayed perfume all over her. Suddenly he realized something strange he was doing.

''Eh why do I also like gini, '' said Elvan. Elvan hurriedly put back her perfume. He then rushed out to meet Alia who was still waiting in the living room.

''Elo, what's this?'' said Elvan with his cute style.

''Hai, Mas. We're here to give you food with fried bananas. It is not much but this as a thank you because Mas Elvan has improved our bike. And this was made directly the same Kak Alia, said Andra with his plain speech.

''Oh so. Yes Alia, elo ready dinner for me yes. I happen to have not eaten, Elvan pleases.

''Ready? I am a maid, said Alia.

''Yes if you want to do good do not giggle dong.''

''You are thinking of him anyway. I am your sister, whispered Alia.

''It's not okay, brother. Only nyiapin will there be a maid Mas Elvan who helps.''

''Have you whispered?'' ketus Elvan's.

''Yes, yes, I am ready.''

''Andra come to the dining table.'' Take Elvan.

''I-iya, Mas.'' Andra followed Elvan to the dining table. And Alia's headed for the kitchen.

''Lho Mbak Alia why go to the kitchen?'' ask Bi Minah.

''That's Elvan asking at the ready for dinner. I brought you dinner for Elvan, Bi. As a thank you for taking Andra's bike, my sister.''

''Oh so last night the bike's sister Mbak Alia.''

''I mean Bi?''

''Yes, some workshop people were told to go home. They even got banned from resting before the bike was done. Den Elvan has never been good with people up to his side, Bi Minah story.

''Cook the hell, Bi?''

''Yes, Ma'am. Don't-don't Den Elvan likes High School Alia, '' said Bi Minah.

''Ah Auntie, don't be like that. Elvan's taste is not me. Yes Bi I asked for plates yes to ready this food.''

''Yes, Ma'am.'' Alia immediately prepared a dinner for Elvan, which Bi Minah helped.

''Please in tasting. Hope you like it, said Alia.

''What do you want to drink? and you guys have eaten?'' ask Elvan.

''Don't bother, brother. I'm the same brother Alia has eaten kok.''

''Oh that. Elo masakin what Al? there is no poison, right?''

''O Allah, you are Suudzon. What is the benefit of your ngracunin. This is kampung cuisine, sambal petai, tempe orek similar anchovies and fried bananas. Sorry there is no meat and chicken because this is what we have, said Alia who felt annoyed with the words of Elvan who likes to talk.

''It should be if you want to do good it's total dong. Cook a meal like gini, '' Elvan protest.

''Yes, I don't have to eat mending I take it home, '' said Alia while rearranging the food on the table.

''Who told you to bring it home? I have not tried, said Elvan who held Alia's hand. Alia hurriedly released Elvan's hand.

''Sit down!" elvan's orders. Alia was only able to keep quiet and obey Elvan's orders. Elvan started trying. As one mouthful entered his mouth, suddenly Elvan's eyes glazed over.

''Why does Alia's cooking make me miss Mama's cooking? moreover, village cuisine like this is Mama's favorite. Even this is a mandatory menu at the dinner table, Elvan murmured in his heart. Alia looked towards Elvan to see Elvan's expression. But Alia was very surprised when she saw Elvan's eyes looked teary. Angan Elvan soared considering his memory with his mother first. When Elvan didn't know her father didn't have another woman.

Flashbacks

''How do you like to eat that?'' little Elvan said.

''Yes, dong, baby. This is compulsory food. It's better than meat. This food is a historical food for Mom and Dad. When Mama and Papa lived in a household and started a career together, this is our mandatory food. We really have to be irony, baby. So this food is the national food of Mama and Papa. And the mother Lili also likes this food. This food that knows Lili's mother, when we are still in college. So special food kosan children. Although Mama and Papa are in the position now but Mama will never forget the life history of Mama with Papa first. Simple but what we eat tastes very delicious.'' The story of Maya Ma'am to Elvan.

"Yes, El. This is Papa and Mama's favorite food. Food history and memories. Papa and Mama's life was far from the word luxury as it is today. So even if luck is with us now, we do not forget this memory food of ours. Sambal petai, tempe orek and anchovy. We used to eat like this really good, Ma?" remember Mr. Tama.

"Such wisdom, Pa. Let alone eating it with Papa," said Bu Maya.

"Thank you, Ma. Because Mama has been faithful to accompany Papa until we can succeed like this." Said Mr. Tama while holding his wife's hand.

''It's delicious, Ma?'' asked the curious Elvan.

''You try it, baby. Mama sure you'll like it.''

''But later eat petai so stink.''

''Do guys get scared of the smell of petai? eating petai does not make the good looks of Mama's child disappear really, said Bu Maya while gently stroking her son's head. Elvan tasted it.

"A handsome father would dare to eat a petai. The proof is that your mother is more in love with Papa after eating petai," said Mr. Tama with a laugh. Elvan was curious and tried it.

''Mmmm, that's delicious, Ma. It is also not like eating petai. Tempe orek in the same mix of anchovies is delicious, Ma. Which makes this food delicious because Mama is cooking. Tomorrow El will be in this masakin again yes, Ma. But if El asked for the same fried chicken.''

''Ready, boss!" ma'am Maya said with a big smile. Every time Mr. Tama is at home, Ms. Maya always serves the food on the table. Bu Maya wants to always make Mr. Tama remember their struggle from zero and their togetherness first. Although at that time his heart was so sick because he had to be willing to share a husband with another woman.
