After a few days Nur Laily was in the capital city of Samarinda, she showed her ability in cooking. He really wanted to prove that he really wanted to be like Habibah.
Like this morning, when Habibah came down from his room to prepare Zain breakfast. Nur Laily has prepared three types of dishes at the dining table.
Habibah stared in amazement at what the little girl was doing in front of him. If it was done by a mature woman, maybe she would be ordinary. But this is done by a twelve-year-old girl who is just a teenager.
" dear... This is all you cooking?" he asked Habibah not to believe what he had seen.
" Yes, Uma. I practice cooking for us breakfast. Hopefully the results do not fuss, Uma. But if there's something wrong, Uma will tell me, Uma?" nur Laily said with anxious hope
He was worried that the results of his cooking would not match the tongue of Habibah and Zelly. Because the most important thing to him was the judgment of those two people. If the others he still won't bother.
" Why do you bother, baby..? Kids your age shouldn't do all that work. There is a train of rabbi. Why do you have to cook?" tanya hai ah worried.
" I just want to know, Uma. Do I have a talent for cooking or not? I have aspirations to become a Uma kayak. Pinter cooks, pinter makes cookies, so strong and great women like Uma.
I want, papa used to love the story of how Uma was still my age now. Uma is a diligent and independent person, therefore papa likes Uma.
So, it's okay if I have a dream to become a Uma kayak. Who can be many things and independent?" nur Laily replied at length, he was still trying to justify what he had in mind and what he had done at this moment.
Habibah was stunned to hear the words from the tiny mouth of the girl who is now a teenager in front of her.
She never thought if her late husband ever told her about his childhood in Duku. What is more unexpected is if the late husband showed himself from the time he was still a teenager.
Which means it happened before she knew her late husband in his early teens.
" dear... Uma is not forbidden if you want to cook. But Uma was worried that you were just as hurt. What if you get a knife later, or get hot oil or fire?"said Habibah finally to dismiss the memory of his past.
" Well, said Uma, if we want to be successful and successful people. We must be prepared to be sick and hurt..."
" Yes, honey. But you shouldn't do it alone. At least be accompanied by either Radih's mom or Susan's aunt. Next time no longer go into the kitchen alone, dear." said Habibah while embracing her little girl who looks very earnest with her wishes.
" Okay, let's have breakfast first. Uma also wants to know how the cuisine of Uma's daughter Sholeha is." said Habibah while holding the hand of Nur Laily's dining shirt.
When Habibah was just about to prepare, Zelly who had been neat with her work clothes came to them.
" Waahh's... From above already smelled fragrant cuisine that makes the stomach hungry. It seems to be here. And you have no heart to call me to taste it." said Zelly as he approached Habibah while hugging her from the side and kissing her forehead gently.
" Ih, it's early in the morning too.. Abah is mesraan mulu. Don't you see if there's any minors here?" nur Laily grumbled while pouting at Zelly's behavior just now.
" Oh, yes, my.. This is the cooking of our daughter.. The smell must be delicious.. And cobain.. Here let me get you.." said Habibah to divert the conversation that made awkward earlier
" oh, huh? Seriously, you cooked Nur? Waaahhh, I don't think Abah's daughter is good at cooking. But if you want to cook must be careful, do not get hurt.
Because your safety is more important. Later if you get hurt right serious, later can "your luck money "decreased a lot you know..?" said Zelly advised and ended with a joke that made Nur Laily blush.
" Yes, Abah.. Thanks for reminding me. If only my brother were still around, maybe my brother was the one who first tasted all of my cooking.
But with Abah here, I'm also very happy. Thank you, Abah and Uma have wanted to taste the results of my cooking." said Nur Laily teary eyes.
" Aish, dear Uma.. Uma is sure that Abah you have seen the results of your cooking and are proud of you. You are a great and talented boy. Uma is sure that someday you will be better than Uma now.
Habibah does not want to discuss people in his past anymore, not because he feels it does not matter anymore, but he does not want his efforts to be able to accept Zelly with all his heart will be disturbed again because of it.
He really wanted to keep all of his past in the deepest corner of his heart and lock it tight.
" waaahhh.. Is your cooking delicious too? Not for long Uma cuisine you can taste delicious. But, you do not cook often for me to eat, I'm afraid later I prefer your cooking rather than your Uma cuisine.
If so, it could be dangerous. Hahaha.." sloppy Zelly broke the silence that suddenly occurred at the dinner table.
" Right, your cooking turned out to be amazing for a beginner size like you. You are really talented, baby." said Habibah chimed in to praise the results of Nur Laily's cooking.
" really? That nice? Uma's the same Abah didn't lie, did she?" tanya Nur Laily doesn't believe it.
" Bener dong darling. You try it yourself." said Habibah again.
Nur Laily also began to feed the food that he had taken on his plate and slowly began to enjoy it.
*It turns out what Abah and Uma really said. My cooking is pretty good and can even be said to be good for beginners like me.
Ah, it seems that later I continue to school in the department of guru boga, let my cooking talent more honed.
But, is there not a school of conduct for a child of my age? While the average child my age is still prohibited from playing the stove.
I'll ask you about Uma or Abah. Who knows if there really is a*.
Nur Laily was seen smiling to himself while enjoying his food. Making Habibah and Zelly who saw him frown.
" Why are you smiling to yourself? Uma saw it serem tau." said Habibah while shaking the shoulders of horrifying omens.
" Hehe... That's Uma, I think my cooking is really good. Make me really talented. So there is no cooking school for umuran like I gini? If there is, I want to continue school to cook school later." said Nur Laily full of enthusiasm.
" Cooking school?" zelly and Habibah said together.
" Yes, cooking school? Didn't Uma ever hear of a cooking school?" tanyanya.
" Not that, Uma knew there was a cooking school. But is it not too fast if you immediately choose a cooking school, baby? Why not if you already have High School. Why is it so fast?" habibah asked in disbelief hearing the wishes of his daughter.
" I think if I could learn faster it's better Uma. Let me really be as good as Uma. Even if it could be even more powerful than Uma." Nur Laily replied with great enthusiasm.
" Oh, okay. We'll talk about this again. Now finish the meal." Habibah ended the conversation at the dinner table.
After the conversation at the dinner table, Habibah spent most of his time in his room without being disturbed by anyone. Not even Zain was allowed in.
*I have to how is this? How could that kid really want to make himself like me? Even better than me?
What will the Pur family say there? It would be assumed that I wanted the boy to follow in my footsteps.
Do I have to talk to them about their wishes? So that they know early and will not misunderstand me. About what their response will be yes, if you know the child has a different dream than what they imagined*.
