On a clear Sunday, the cool and cold air struck the senses of Ismalia. Has been neatly carrying a basket bag. As said yesterday Ismalia invites the Mother Mastiara to go to the market to buy the need to make chicken stews Erika requests.
Only using Ismalia motor vehicle to piggyback on the mother. In the morning market Ismalia parked its motorbike not far from the market. Ismalia walks with her mother. Ismalia chooses fresh chicken breast and thighs. While the mother chose vegetables to be cooked later in the afternoon. Where the position of chicken and vegetable stalls are close together.
This time Ismalia will cook chicken stew. Ismalia had studied with her father and practiced it. Alhamdulillah taste quite good even though not as good as the cuisine of the father Mardian. Ismalia finished choosing chicken and continued to buy spices such as
turmeric, ginger, galangal, and others.
The mother and Ismalia after getting what they needed began to browse through each stall. His eyes looked left and right. He thinks it's enough. They finally came home with a lot of their groceries.
Arriving at Ismalia's house and the mother entered putting groceries on the dining table. The restaurant place today every Sunday is not open because for the father Mardian Sunday, Sunday time for family.
Ismalia washed the chicken that had been cut. Then it was revealed for a while while waiting for Ismalia to mix spices. Seasoning after smooth in mash. The chicken raised was placed on a bowl.
Start sauteing the already smooth seasoning earlier into the hot oil. Saute until you have to continue to add sweet and salty soy sauce to taste and then stir again. The aroma has smelled fragrant then enter the chicken that was revealed briefly stir until evenly distributed.
Then enter enough water not to forget to give flavoring seasoning then let it dry somewhat. While waiting for the chicken stew to ripen. Ismalia who helped the mother cook the vegetables purchased earlier.
After 30 minutes, all the cooking is ready. Ismalia glanced at the clock on her phone already entering at 10:15 wib. Ismalia immediately took a bath and dressed neatly with an olive green robe. The mother Mastiara in the kitchen helped put the chicken stew into the jar container.
Ismalia who is ready to say goodbye to her mother and father is watching tv. Ismalia traced the alley to the base of the ojek not far from the alley. Not long after, Ismalia arrived at the gate of Erika's house. Ismalia took out a twenty thousand note to the carpenter.
Before entering Ismalia first contact Erika.
Tut tut tut tut
The first call is no valid and then the second call is continued.
Tut tut tut tut
As with the first call, the second call is also invalid even though whatsapp calls ring actively.
Surrender finally Ismalia advanced her steps to meet the security guard at the gate.
"Assalamualaikum, sir."
"Wa'alaikumussalam, yes. Who's neng looking for?" ask the security guard.
"The iron exists."
"This ring is a greeting?"
"I'm Ismalia Erika's schoolmate, sir." Ismalia.
"Oh yeah. Non Erika no neng." the security guard opened the door to let in. "Let's go neng."
"Thank you sir." nodded politely as he passed.
"Sama-sama neng." no less polite.
...๐น๐น๐น...
Ismalia walked towards the main door and rang the bell. Shortly heard the sound of the door opening looking the maid Bik Inah.
"Assalamualaikum, brother?"
"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Uh. non Ismalian. Let's go in non. Please sit." please sit.
"Yes, bik. Erika's order please move it to the plate?"
Bil Inah took the container bag to the kitchen. Bik Inah's steps stopped turning around when Ismalia asked again.
"Oh yes bik. Erika's there?"
"Non Erika is out, non, she said she wants to go to her grandmother's house?"
"Alone, bik?"
"Yes, non alone. If you have a non in his room is not feeling well."
Ismalia is just mangut. Ismalia asked again "Are Mandala's breakfast bik?"
"Yet, non. Bibik just wanted to cook uh non Ismalia came." replied Bik Inah smiling amusedly.
"Yes, help me cook that."
"That is not non. Masa' guests who cook non."
"Sir papa bik. Let me help you."
Ismalia and Bik Inah also headed to the cooking kitchen. Long enough food is ready to be served directly to the dining table. Bik Inah went upstairs knocking on Mandala's door.
Tok tok tok tok
"Master, lunch is ready." no word at all.
Tok tok tok tok
Bik Inah also changed position towards Mandala. Bik Inah was shocked to see Mandala shivering with pale lips. Bik Inah holding the forehead Mandala felt hot and frantically rushed down to the bottom taking medication and compresses.
Ismalia who was washing the dishes turned to the aunt who came down the stairs in a state of panic. Bik Inah looked around for the medicine box and took out a bowl of ice water and a handkerchief.
"Sir, what's the reason for that panic."
"Anu, Is. The master of his body pain is very hot." said Bik Inah while taking a bowl and water.
Ismalia stopped its activities.
"Oh Allah bik. Let me help you." said Ismalia who so follow panic follow Bik Inah.
The two of them took their hands together towards Mandala's room. Arriving at Mandala's room, Ismalia sat on the edge of the bed approaching Mandala. Holding the right Mandala forehead does feel very hot.
Ismalia took a bowl of handkerchief water from Bik Inah's hand. Ismalia then reddened the handkerchief and placed it on Mandala's forehead.
Mandala did not realize that the one who compressed it was Ismalia. Because it was so hot and dizzy he just closed his eyes. Remember the words of Bik Inah that Mandala has not eaten. Ismalia asked Bik Inah to take care of her for a while because she was going to the kitchen to make porridge for Mandala.
Ismalia came down the stairs in a hurry. Take a pot of rice and wash it and cook it. Ismalia opens the refrigerator looking for chicken pieces. Ismalia washed it and boiled it until it was cooked. Not to forget also he made lime ginger tea for Mandala.
His hands were so shrewd when wrestling in the kitchen. A while waiting for the porridge and the chicken was ripe. The chicken is put on top of the porridge that has been served in a bowl. Ismalia arranged it into a tray and took it to Mandala's room.
Ismalia knocked on the door, Bik Inah approached to open the door, looking Ismalia carrying a tray containing chicken porridge and lime tea. I feel bad and a little amazed. Ismalia approached the bed Mandala put a tray on the nightstand.
"Out non. Non Ismalians bother to make porridge. Just say to aunt let auntie make it." said Bik Inah felt bad.
"No papa bik not troublesome at all" said Ismalia sitting on the edge of the bed while holding a bowl.
Ismalia stirred the porridge which was still a little hot to cool. When it is no longer hot and then spooning the porridge feed Mandala little by little. Mandala opened her mouth. There are enough Mandalas to eat. Ismalia drinking Mandala using a straw to the mouth of Mandala.
Then take the heat reliever taken Bik Inah drink to Mandala. Ismalia again covers the Mandala up to the neck. The position of the Mandala becomes recumbent and the shivering is slightly reduced. The mandala fell asleep after taking the medicine.
Bik Inah smiled to see Ismalia's treatment in serving like a wife serving a husband. Staring fixed Bik Inah just realized that the face of Ismalia is very similar to the late wife of her master Mandala when seen when smiling.
Mandala was sleeping well. Ismalia and Bik Inah leave Mandala to rest. As Ismalia was about to move from her seat. A hand catches Ismalia's wrist. And I saw him looking at each other.
Mandala's eyes closed while her mouth was delirious.
"Don't go. Stay here." Mandala said, eyes closed while holding Ismalia's wrist.
Ismalia turned to Bik Inah. Bik Inah nodded her head. Ismalia eventually remained sitting on the edge of the bed accompanying Mandala to sleep. Before long Ismalia also fell asleep head leaning to the edge of the bed. Bik Inah previously contacted Erika that her body Mandala was hot again.
...๐น๐น๐น...
About 1 hour later, Mandala woke up her body temperature had started to fall even though she still felt a little dizzy. Mandala glanced in amazement and was shocked Ismalia was on the floor head leaning on the edge of the bed. His hand holding Ismalia's wrist was asleep.
The mandala slowly withdrew her hand without waking the slumbering Ismalia. Mandala looked fixed Ismalia face looks sad, calm, and looks beautiful. Unknowingly his face resembled that of his deceased wife.
Mandala spread her gaze shifting slightly leaning towards the bed. The movement that slightly shook the bed made Ismalia awake turned to Mandala. Ismalia confirmed her standing face down.
Mandala continued to look at him and at a glance turned towards the nightstand there are porridge trays, tea, heat relievers, and compress bowls. Mandala looked back at Ismalia who was still bowed. Still with a cold and flat look.
"Ekhem.... What are you doing here?" tanya Mandala is cold and flat.
"Emmm.a.anu om. Sa... I." answered nervously still down. "Sa. I was delivering a chicken stew for Erika om but it turns out that Erika there is no truck I saw aunty want to cook lunch so I help her. When I was ready I saw bibik panic because of hot fever so Is help." explained Ismalia nervous tampa staring at Mandala.
He looked at the nightstand and looked at Ismalia "That's what you made her?" ask Mandala again.
Ismalia simply replied with a nod of her head.
"Thank you." said Mandala in a flat tone.
Ismalia directly raised her head to look at Mandala frowning. Ismalia then bailed out.
"Together, om. If so I want to go home first. Assalamualaikum." said Ismalia pamit lowered his gaze.
"Wa'alaikumussalam." replied Mandala.
Mandala looked at Ismalia's back who approached the door and exited. He actually realized what Mandala said when he was thought to be delirious. The mandala who asked him to stay in the room accompanied him.
Recalling the incident Mandala slightly drew a smile on her lips and daydreamed. Before long the sound of knocking on the door made Mandala flinch. Bik Inah bring a glass of lime tea then put it on the nightstand. The former bowl Bik Inah brought it back for washing.
"Sir, has Erika been contacted?" ask Mandala.
"Already, sir. Maybe it's on its way."
Bik Inah went straight out of the Mandala room and continued the activity in the kitchen. Mandala took a glass of lime tea sipping little by little then went back to rest.
While Ismalia who was saying goodbye has returned home to order an online motorcycle taxi.
