Sharing Love: Winning Without Love
Nusantara Cuisine
Early in the winter, Khaira had woken up. Even on college holidays or not, Khaira always has a habit of getting up early.
Instead of curling up under a thick blanket and in the arms of her husband, Khaira prefers activities in the morning such as cleaning herself and making breakfast.
So often, Radit wakes up with a feeling of shock because Khaira has already moved first.
The man woke up, and began to lean back to sit on the head board. Rubbed his eyes and yawned slowly. With a still hoarse voice typical of people waking up, the man called his wife.
"Dear One.." he said while giving a smile to Khaira.
Khaira, who was in the kitchen, turned to her husband. "For Mas .. have you woken up?" saith.
Nodding head. "You have a hobby that makes me hang every morning, baby." he said while still leaning on the head board.
"Hmm, why Mas's hanging?" ask her while walking closer to the bed.
Radit pulled Khaira's wrist, which was still standing on the side of the bed, causing Khaira to sit on her husband's lap. "Every morning you're gone, I wake up with an empty bed that's not good, dear."
Khaira just laughed while shaking her head. "I'm used to waking up in the morning. Yeah, I took a shower, Mom... I'll continue making breakfast first."
Reluctant to let go of his embrace, Radit actually further strengthen his warm embrace of his wife. "Darling, all of a sudden I want to eat Chicken Soup ... It's good to be cold gini eat warm. Nusantara cuisine is delicious."
Hearing her husband who seems to want Nusantara Cuisine, Khaira also has an idea. "Bandi first Mas, this abis to Fresh Market yuk buy vegetables and chicken. I will be sure." he said.
"Yes, I took a shower. You'll cook, I'll do the dishes, honey. Share our duties. I take a shower first yeah, be careful not to look at the stye." The man was still flirting with his wife.
Khaira hit her husband's chest. "You are indeed Mas .. his fit is not responsible. You're the one who likes ngintip and ngrecokin."
Both of them laughed so much that their faces were red because of silly jokes in the morning.
In about 15 minutes, Radit cleaned himself in the bathroom. The man came out with a fresh face.
"Breakfast Mas .." said Khaira while preparing warm chocolate and toast. "I just made this."
Radit took a seat on Kitchen Island. "Udah made breakfast, I thank you very much Darling. So, right to the Fresh Market?" radit asked while chewing his wife's toast.
"Yes so... Cooking at home, Mom. If the Chicken Soup is easy and the cooking is flat-footed." said Khaira who also chewed toast.
"Where did you learn how to cook from Pinter, honey?" Radit asked because the results of Khaira's cooking creations are always delicious and fit on his tongue.
"From Mother Dyah dong Mas, Mother was very cooking pinter. If the holidays usually I help Mother in the kitchen." he replied, "yes it's to the Fresh Market now yuk Mas."
After shopping from Fresh Market, the two returned to the apartment. Khaira took off her thick jacket, piggybacked on her original hair, then began to fight in the kitchen. Fresh vegetables such as Carrots and Potatoes, he peeled first and then cut them in small sizes. Make a spice in the form of garlic and Bombay Onion slices.
Afterwards Khaira began sauteing Garlic and Bombay Onion to give off a fragrant smell. Chicken meat he put, stir-fry for a while and then add water. Wait until it boils, then Carrots and Potatoes are inserted. Added spices such as salt, pepper, a little flavoring, and also a little nutmeg powder.
The fragrant aroma of the Chicken Soup was oozing and tickling Radit's sense of smell. "It smells so good, honey, so I can't wait to try it. What are you doing here again?" radit asked Khaira, because his wife was still struggling with chili and knife.
"Bikin sambal kecap, Mas .. I think if you eat soup without soy sauce taste really nothing is lacking" she replied without looking at her husband, but she said, because now he is slicing chili on the cutting board.
Radit nodded his head. "As I mean, I without you feel there is also less. If there is you, it is perfect" he said while moving his eyebrows.
"That's a big deal ..." Khaira chuckled amusedly at the rumble from her husband. "Where did you learn from Mas?"
Radit spread his shoulders. "I didn't learn, I said it was heartfelt. I'm just expressing my feelings."
While continuing the chat, and Sambal Kecap made by Khaira also has been so. Then, Khaira served the Chicken Soup in two bowls and put it on Kitchen Island.
"Please Mas, Chicken Soup request was already so.." Goda Khaira while giving a bowl of Chicken Soup in front of her husband.
Radit smiles. "Thank you, baby, I'm sure. It's delicious for sure." she replied.
"But not tipped kok already say delicious mas, tasting first dong, less what mas." asked Khaira with a face of anxious hope.
Although she was convinced that the dish was already on her tongue, but hearing the judgment from her husband made Khaira happier. Praise from her husband made her relieved because it could make a breakfast menu that fits on the tongue of her husband.
Slowly Radit began to sip the Chicken Soup sauce, feeling it slowly. "Hem, this is less dear..." Radit sipped the soup back with his spoon. "Lack if you eat only a spoonful."
Relieved. Khaira thought that it would taste bad and not fit on her husband's tongue.
"You are Mas, you can. I wait for your judgment when." muttered Khaira while eyeing her husband.
Radit chuckles amusedly. "Udah is good, I don't need to value your cooking is always delicious. I ate yes... Happy eating" he said by eating the gluttonous Chicken Soup with Sambal Kecap it.
Khaira just shook her head at how greedy her husband was to eat the results of his cooking. "Eat it slowly Mas, in the pot is still a lot. It can be added." said Khaira while reminding her husband to eat slowly.
Both enjoy Nusantara cuisine with happiness. Not on how luxurious and expensive a dish is, but simple cuisine when enjoyed with loved ones, the taste will be special.
Love and love are both.
