The Heart of Old Menjakaka
199. What don't
"Wear beak, sometimes legs, sometimes buttocks" replied Juna honestly.
"What time?" Haven't seen it yet, Steven doesn't believe it.
"Yes. That's why Kevin was invited, let Om see for yourself."
"Hear from Bejo, Kevin can make coffee too, Stev." Angga. Telling the advantages of Kevin that Steven did not know.
"Ah impossible!" Steven doesn't believe it at all. "Jun, there you go to Kevin's cage. Just keep coming here with him, yeah," Steven asked.
"What are you doing? Kevin asked for coffee? What's playing marbles?"
"Call me first."
"Yes, Om." Juna nodded. He got off Steven's lap and ran out of the house.

"Kevin! What are you doing?!" Juna shouted in front of the security guard post. Stare at the cage that Kevin wasn't there.
The parrot is inside the egg-laying house. While making love with Janet, but the behavior of Juna bar-bar that makes the activity stop.
Because the boy made his cage shake.
"What's up, anyway?" Kevin poked his head from the door. "You're just interrupting, Jun!"
"Again what? You're called Steven's Om."
"No way." Kevin shook his head, then his head went back inside the egg-laying house.
"Why? You don't want to come with me, Om Steven just like Opa? We're going to my Mama's restaurant park. Want to burn corn while playing marbles," Juna asked while jumping up and down.
"I'll be in the house. You go first, Jun!"
"What are you doing, anyway?" Juna looked curious. His eyes looked at the bird house. "Janet where to? If you don't want to, I'd like to invite Janet to play the marbles."
"Janet female, she doesn't like playing marbles. You enter the house first, I'll follow." Kevin is in a nangung state, it doesn't feel good that his bravery is not complete.
"Yes already." Juna said he ran back into the house. Then heading towards the kitchen, there was Steven there struggling to make seasoning for his grilled corn.
Since morning, he wanted to make grilled corn, but with the results of his own cooking.
"Where's Kevin, Jun?" steven asked as he watched his nephew climb up onto the chair and gulp down the drinking water he had just poured.
"I think Kevin was busy, Om. But you will come here" replied Juna.
"Busy what? Are there any birds busy?"
Juna pressed his shoulders.
Before long, Sindi and Citra came to them.
"Mama wants to take Citra to the Mall, the same Nella, yes, Stev," Sindi said as she embraced her daughter-in-law's shoulder.
"Dih, Citra wants to follow me to the restaurant park, Ma."
"Would you like Papa, Juna and Kevin? So just image the same Mama. Mama wants to buy her a maternity suit, her stomach's already looking bloated." Sindi stroked her daughter-in-law's stomach.
"Yes, but be careful. Mama same Mr. Jarwo just went. Buy his funny clothes and fit the taste of Citra, yes." Steven drew closer to his wife, then kissed her forehead for a moment.
"Yes, of course." Sindi nodded.
"Get me a sexy dress to sleep in, too, Ma. But the model has the tail is that."
"Lingerie mean? But does anyone wear tail? What tail? The cat?" Kening Sindi flinched.
"Yes already." Sindi kissed Juna on the forehead, then the granddaughter kissed the back of her hand and turned to the back of Citra's hand.
After the departure of Citra and Sindi, Kevin came. He flew up and landed on the kitchen table. Steven's blending the roof, it's almost ready.
"What's Steven's brother?" ask Kevin politely. His head nodded.
"Papa said you can make coffee, keep saying Juna you can play marbles, I want to tell you to peel corn. Can you not?" pinta Stevens. His tone was like commanding. He wanted to see for himself how Kevin was capable.
"Speeling can, but cutting the beach can't." Perhaps what Juna meant was the tip of his corn.
"No problem, later that part let Juna. You want to help, Jun?" Steven rolled his eyes at his nephew. Since long ago, when his nephew was playing, Steven often taught him to cook. And Juna also complied.
But strangely, when in his own house he did not want to. Juna is also very spoiled for Nissa. Understandably, the child is merely puppet.
"You, Om!" Juna raised one of his hands, saluting.
"Yes, Kevin who peels your corn cut off the end."
"Wear what? A knife?"
"No need, just use your hands. Not so hard." Steven pointed towards the pouch that was under the table. There are 10 corn.
Juna got off the chair, and so did Kevin. They both opened the bag.
"How much is peeled?" ask Kevin.
Steven counts people with his fingers. Him, Kevin, Juna, Angga. But one was increased to five.
"5" Steven replied.
Juna picked up the white plastic, he threw it on the floor near the bag. Then take one of the corn so Kevin peels it easier.
"Don't eat the corn, yeah! Going burned!" scold Steven. Kevin nodded quickly.
The tip of the top corn skin was immediately Kevin grip with two sharp-nailed toes, then pull it open. He did it over and over again until all the skin covering the corn was exposed. The corn feathers that were there Kevin poked with his beak, trying to clean it up.
Steven noticed the gestures that Kevin did, his movements also seemed not stiff at all. As he often does.
"In addition to being a pet bird, you used to be Om Tian's maid, huh, Vin?" ask Steven. Either just asking, or just demeaning. But the handsome man was now chuckling.
"What is that helper?" kevin was confused.
Juna who was crouching then looked up at Steven. "Om you know Om Tian too?" Juna failed to focus on hearing the man's name.
"Know, he's Kevin's Papa first" Steven replied. "Indeed, you know him too, Jun?" Turn ask.
The boy nodded quickly. "Yes, he's Mami's high school friend, Om. And last night ... Juna, Kevin, Janet and Mami .. go watch her."
Steven's eyes were somewhat slurred, between shock and astonishment. "Watch what? The cinema?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Can you guys go watch? And why should Om Tian be the same?" Steven was suddenly curious. Moreover, pas knows if Tian is a high school friend from Mbaknya. He thinks it's very dangerous.
"Said Mami, she wanted to come with Om."
'Pengen coming?' Steven was silent for a moment. Suddenly, his chest rumbled. 'Didn't that cool guy want to target my Mbak's treasure?' Both of his hands also clenched, the negative thoughts instantly enveloped his brain contents. 'This can't happen, I have to tell Ms. Nissa, not to get close to her.'
"So fast paring the corn, we're going straight to the restaurant." Steven instantly prepared everything he wanted to carry, putting it into a large bag.
Once everything is ready, they drive the car. Steven was the one driving, next to Angga. Behind Kevin and Juna.
...It's getting harder like Om Tian 🤣 already, back off regularly, Om....
