Retta put Vanno's change of clothes on the bed. He immediately picked up the dirty basket and took it to the laundry room. When about to put dirty clothes into the washing machine, mbak Asih, who was in charge of washing all dirty clothes in the house, stopped it.
"Let me do the washing, Non."Mbak Asih said while intending to take dirty clothes from Retta's hands.
"No need to mbak, from now on for clothes mas Vanno let me wash." Retta answered with a smile.
Seeing Retta so persistent refused, finally Asih let her do the job. After putting all the dirty clothes into the washing machine, Retta immediately headed to the dining table to see if the in-laws and her husband had been there yet.
"Darling, was this you cooking?" Ask Mommy while coming out of the kitchen and carrying a glass of milk.
"Ti-not all Mom, Retta just helped bi Mar a little." Answer while preparing breakfast. Retta glanced at her in-laws who were carrying a glass of milk. "Mommy used to drink milk in the morning?" tanyakanya.
"Yes dear. Said the family doctor is good for bones, mommy would want to be healthy always. Let's play with the grandkids." He answered while winking at Retta. While Retta was wrong to hear the words of her in-laws. "Your husband isn't awake?" continued again.
Not yet Retta answered, Vanno had replied from behind the Mommy. "Vanno has woken up from dawn Mom, has run early in the morning around the complex as well." He answered while sitting in his chair.
"What if you could wake up at dawn if it wasn't built?. Or, maybe all night you didn't sleep, Van?" Said the Mommy while smiling mischievously.
Hearing her mommy Vanno grunt. "Mommy what the hell, can't mind don't be weird. It's still morning Mom." Vanno said annoyed.
Mommy was just a mangosteen hearing her son's answer. "Okay, mommy will not think strangely because it is still morning, mommy will think about it later when it is noon," mommy tease.
"Yummm!!" Vanno growled in annoyance.
Seeing her only son look upset, mommy smiled and said, "Yes, yes. Mommy will be quiet. Already, now breakfast. After this, mommy wants to talk to you." Vanno and Retta immediately nodded.
When Retta was about to get rice for her in-laws, mommy forbade it. Mommy asks Retta to serve her husband. Retta immediately brought food for her husband. They enjoyed breakfast that morning and told a little story.
"Tumben bi Mar cuisine different Mom, this parchment tastes not like usual. Savory and spicy fit." Vanno said as he continued to chew.
Vanno and Retta turned their heads towards mommy, especially Retta. He was a little confused and worried. Let's not let him put in a spice that shouldn't.
"Well, what's different, the spice must be that." Answer Vanno.
"It's different, this parchment has its secret ingredient." Said mommy.
"What's the secret ingredient?" ask Vanno.
"The spice of love and compassion." Mommy answered with ease. "Perkedel and sambal goreng ati this is what your wife makes." Mommy.
Vanno almost choked on hearing the mother's words. My mom might say something like that. While Retta can only duck while playing her spoon.
"I-sorry if the taste is not right. I'm still learning, I used to help my mom prepare the spices, never tried to cook them." Retta said still while looking down.
"It's okay, baby, it's good enough. Look at that the parchment's been almost spent by your husband." Mommy said while pointing at Vanno's plate.
Hearing his mommy quip, Vanno cleared his throat and said, "Snake the cake and the fried sambal. I like it" he said, trying to hide his smile. She felt ashamed.
Hearing the words of mommy and her husband, Retta smiled happily. Breakfast was continued with small talk.
