The Pineapple Hero
Feel the satiety

“what food do you want Ogika?” Pineapple Hero sits on that tiny chair with both feet hanging off the floor. “whatever, the important thing is that I can eat. Oh yes please give me fresh food. I'm tired of eating stale food. Well.. although the food still feels good in my tongue because it never eats but still my stomach will mules after.” Bright Ogika with mimic moody face.

“Iyana Ogika.”

(well Ogika)

The Pineapple Hero instantly raised both of his hands up and flicked those two hands.

On the floor there was so much food and drink. There was milk, fruit juice, mineral water, and ice cubes in a large bowl. Various fruits that have been cut neatly live eat like watermelon, grapes, apples, oranges, melons, and so forth except pineapple.

There are also some typical Indonesian food menus such as nasi goreng, meatballs, sop, soto, and so forth accompanied by rice in each dish. Do not forget the snack of various cakes and snacks that are not less numerous with all the food and drinks. Not to forget some of the world's food such as Pizza, Burger, Kentucky and others. There are also global drinks such as Cola, Pepsi, and so forth.

“wahhh...” Kirana's eyes sparkled looking at all the food and drink lying on the floor of that room. “what is heaven?” muttered. There was so much food that he saw that the hungry stomach was now full because he saw so much variety of food and drink given by Pineapple Hero.

“Pineapple Hero, I think all these foods are overdone. Can you give me the best meal of all this food. Give one of the most delicious kinds in every type of drink, food, cake and snack it. how?” Ogika glanced at the Pineapple Hero while pulling both corners of her lips with both eyebrows raised upwards to frown her forehead.

“Iyana Iyana, ikomeni onion.”

(alright, whatever you do.)

Instantly all the food and drinks that filled the room were reduced and there were only a few according to Ogika's demand. The food that is left of everything is Coto Makassar and its ketupat which is still smoky because of the heat. The remaining drink is a bottle of mineral water that is next to Coto Makassar. And the remaining cake is a food made of bananas and also wrapped with banana leaves called Barongko.

“what is this?” Ogika looked confused by all the food and drinks and cakes left. Because he hoped that what was left behind by the Pineapple Hero was a popular and delicious food.

“why did you leave only this food Pineapple Hero?” Ogika turned her face from staring at the food to the Pineapple Hero sitting on her chair.

“iko meto makkeda, iyena andre-andre makingsingnge utarongengko.”

(you said yourself that good food is all I have to save.)

Pineapple Hero jumps up and steps up his tiny legs to immediately sit down with Ogika on the floor of the room.

“well I did say like that. but.” Ogika fell silent while thinking.

“andremuijek. Ajakna tappana mi muita.”

(you eat first, don't just look at the outer form.)

“good.” Ogika sahut flat. Then he picked up the spoon that was already available in front of him. He opened the ripe rhombus first, dismembering it using a small knife already available there. Then he put the pieces of ketupat into a bowl that contains the gravy of the Coto Makassar.

Nyam\~

Ogika tried one mouthful first. He chews it slowly with watery eyes. “hm. It's so delicious! Very good indeed.” Ogika's good ranking until she shed tears.

“agehe, iyesi garek Barongkoe.”

(this, you try this Barongko.)

Ogika took the small plate and immediately opened the package of the cake wrapped in banana leaves. After he finished opening it he took a small spoon which had also been on the small plate since.

Nyam\~

“hm... It is also very tasty.” Ogika pulled both corners of her lips smiling broadly with all her teeth in sight.

The slum girl immediately ate the food available in front of her. At the beginning by finishing the Coto Makassar dish and ending with sipping the last droplet of sauce from the bowl. Then he opened and drank the mineral water that was already available on the floor.

After spending Coto Makassar, Ogika continued by eating Barongko who had been tried earlier. Because of the sweet taste given by the Barongko, so that one cake can be used as a dessert for Ogika breakfast today.

Because Ogika really liked the dessert, he even licked his wrapper and spoon in order to feel the remnants of sweetness in the spoon and banana leaves. Then Ogika drank the mineral water until it ran out.

Ergh\~

Ogika burped quite hard after being full of eating all the food and drinks along with the cake left for her.

“thank you Pineapple Hero.” Ogika hugged Pineapple Hero. The magical pineapple rolled both his eyes. Again he had to be short of breath for a while due to the tight embrace given by Ogika.

“messonoga?”

(are you full?)

Pineapple Hero breaks away from Ogika's embrace. “iya I'm full. During my life, only this time I felt the pleasure of eating extraordinary. And this time I felt fullness too. The rest, I'm always hungry.” At once Ogika's face was gloomy as she recalled how difficult it was to live alone and forage for herself. Moreover, she is the slum girl of the unlucky bearer in the society.

“Alhamdulillah, nala hatu deceng.”

(alhamdulillah, thank goodness then.)

Pineapple Hero stand. “where are you going?” ogika asked as she realized the magical pineapple was standing nearby.

“dee, melo toma ha makkede.”

(it's okay, I just want to stand up.)

The Pineapple Hero immediately sat back in his tiny chair. The magical pineapple stayed away because he was afraid that he would be hugged tightly again by Ogika and it made him short of breath.

“oh as it turns out.” Ogika moved from her place. He climbed into his bed again and laid down his body. He looked at the ceiling of the room decorated with yellow stars.

“Pineapple Hero..” call Ogika without turning her face away from staring at the ceiling.

“iek?”

(yeah?)

Pineapple Hero was lying on his tiny chair and staring at the ceiling of his room.

“what when I fall asleep again and then I wake up again will you still be by my side? I really hope this isn't a dream.” Ogika said with a moody face mimic. He was reluctant to return to the real world where he was after being in that beautiful room.

Being in the midst of a society that hated him so much because he was born as the son of a cursed mother made him really suffer.
