Corn Flavors Egg Flavors


Morning in a boisterous atmosphere as usual. Actually the boisterous only girls anyway. The guys are very nice, just sit still knowing the food is ready to be served. But if the guys offer themselves to cook also surely we refuse. Minimize the risk of a messy kitchen as well as food poisoning of course.


Like working in a restaurant, the nine of us gather in the kitchen. With Salma as the head chef who briefs his assistants.


"Okay, just go straight. Later I, Rere, and Puput the part that cooked the vegetables. Then Nala same Iren who cooked the side dish, then Gea the same Tika who nanaknya. Astri readyin same place equipment huh?"


"OK" Astri answered briefly. It's short, Astri where ever talk long and wide.


"Ren, sit in the middle room yuk!" Take me to Iren. If everyone wants to act in the kitchen it does not fit. Mending choose in the middle room only, which is spacious and comfortable.


"Eh Na, I made the omelet. I can't make cornstarch"


"Happy three years you've been cooking, what the hell is Ren? Time only corn parchment can't?"


"Yes during this time if you eat to buy, no need to make a fuss to cook. Hehehe" chen. Laugh again.


"Judah yes" I finally took over the corn that was in Iren's hands.


First I buy spices that will be mixed with corn that has been separated from the middle. Then stir the two in one container and lastly put flour and then water.


"Na, this is keba-..."


Pluck up!


The egg Iren made spilled slightly onto the dough of my cornstarch parchment as he thrust it towards me.


"Iren?! Careful dong!" My misery.


"Hehehe.. Sorry Na! Not intentionally" he replied while grinning innocence.


"How is this going?"


"You are nothing. Just mixed up. It's delicious corn parchment mixed with eggs" hmm. It also feels connected.


"Yaudah, I'm done here just to fry" I said as I handed the dough to Iren.


"I'm that fried?"


"It's Ren, the frying pan's only one that fries two kids" squeamish! I want to pinch his kidney!


"No need for Na. What kind of splash later?"


"Emm. gini deh Ren. I want it to be the same as you. Do you want to get married tomorrow?"


"Yes, I want to. It's crazy if I want to be a virgin to old"


"Well that. Tomorrow, if you're married, what would your husband want to eat?"


"Yes eat rice. Crazy if I want to feed the stone"


Yoke!


I hit him on the forehead he used a spoon stirring corn paste dough earlier.


"That's know! If you want to eat rice, you should be able to cook first. If you don't learn when?"


"Yes, yeah. No need to wear a knock too. So dirty is my jidat" he complained while rubbing the forehead of the former kuktuk earlier.


"Jude, go to the kitchen. Fried eggs with the same cornstarch. Think of it as an exercise to be a good wife, a smart cook"


"Yes, yes"


"Diddeliver! Ogah the time I have your rich son" I end with a satisfied laugh.


Iren could only frown in annoyance while stomping his feet on the floor.


About an hour later we were all done with the kitchen. Time to call the guy for breakfast. While the girls queue up to make a bath, so use the turn system.


Before the shower I had a glance at the living room where the boys had breakfast. I looked at Alif with passion to scoop up my corn parchment. I hope he likes it.


"Well?"


"Gee!" I almost screamed. Salma when talking directly beside the ear, from behind again. How not surprised to try?


"Hayoo... What's in here? Who else is it?" Salma's question made me laugh at myself. Time wants me to answer 'again ngintip gebetan you Sal'. It's not possible.


"Look what the hell Sal, people I want to go to the toilet too" obviously I'm a person who is not good at alibi.


Rather than lingering here which could add to Salma's suspicions, I immediately slid back. To take a shower of course.


Fates. In response to Alif again eating, the reply can even queue the back of the shower. If you get the end of this you have to take a duck bath, shower at lightning speed.


Ten minutes is enough for me to take a shower. After changing clothes and coming out of the bathroom, I smelled strange odors.


This is why everyone's face panics like this?!!


Some go back and forth in and out of the room, there is a path that is not clear muters. It makes my brain think more. I immediately approached the source of the panic, which was in the living room.


"Put, what's wrong? How do you panic like this?"


I who do not know anything directly asked Puput who is closest to me.


"That's Na! Alif! Allergies recur"


WHAT'S?!!


I immediately infiltrated the crowd. My mind is in a state of turmoil at this moment.


Alif has allergies? Is that severe?


The questions were mixed into one in my mind. And when I managed to escape the crowd, I found Alif lying weakly on the sofa. His body was flushed, a sort of freckle or rash filled his face. Then the roar of a motorcycle engine was heard from the terrace of the house. Fahmi and Radit enter with their worried faces, then they bring Alif out. Maybe to Puskesmas.


Tests.


When I felt my tears drip, I immediately went to the bathroom. Letting my tears spill there. Moments later, I felt a gentle rub on my back. It made me turn around.


"You are calm Na. Alif must be okay"


"I. hiks!  no hiks.. hiks.. can calm down Sal!" Immediately I threw myself at him.


As my current seat.


Salma seemed to understand my current feelings, she just silently hugged me as her hands continued to rub my back. Give tranquility.


After I thought I was better and my tears were dry, I took off our embrace. I saw his face, there also implied worry. And it made me smile. Here it is as if I am in excruciating pain, whereas Salma must have felt a deeper pain when she saw her loved ones lying weak.


"Why?" Ask. It might be surprising to see me suddenly smiling.


"It's okay. We're going to Puskesmas yuk!" Take me.


"Can't Na, we're going to go. There were other friends there"


Though my mind has been fucked up not because of. But what can I do? I may not want to deny responsibility either.


"Judek. Come on ahead!" Take it while holding my hand.


I see in the living room friends are still gathering. Although their faces were not as sweet as before, but still the tense atmosphere still felt enveloping.


"Sita.." call me soft if she can hear it.


"Why Na?"


"You think Alif's allergy was severe?" Ask a little bit of questions. Afraid that the answer would be as I thought.


"If judging from the reaction of his body earlier it was quite severe Na, because the allergy was immediately arising with a little pause time"


Deg.


It felt like a big hammer was hitting right in my heart.


Crushed. Be ill.


"God! The nala! Did you give her a cornstarch until Alif got rich?!"


But... what not-don't? 


"What did Mas Alif eat?" Salma asked, maybe she knew the cause of Alif's allergy to relapse.


"Looks, he was just eating a capcay with corn" Bayu replied.


"If you only eat it is not possible until the allergy is crushed. Mas Alif is allergic to eggs" 


It's true!


Salma's words successfully made my tears come back. My body slumped to the floor, unable to bear the taste anymore. I feel more guilty.


"Sorry. hiks!"


"Why Na?"


"So. hiks! Noddy.. Deliberately hiks!. dough paste mixed with eggs. hiks!.."


"That's right! Nala is the culprit!"


"That's Ge! Don't make things worse" Rendi brushed off Gea's hand pointing at my face.


"So Nala had ngaku and said not intentionally. The important thing is that Alif has been brought to Puskesmas. And now that there is no task can go to the Puskesmas keep the others back to their respective duties" said Rendi sage.


They started to leave this room. Now it's just me, Salma, and Rendi.


"Udah, calm Na! Mas Alif must be all right" the sedative phrase just kept coming out of Salma's mouth. Though I know for sure his heart can not be calm.


"You guys get ready there! And pretty dandan. The time of the teacher's mother looks cool, it's that snot again" fucking Rendi!.


"What hell! Go there!" Get rid of me while hitting his arm.


My best friend is always reliable when I am sad. There is always a way to make me smile.


As agreed, finally I, Salma, Rangga, and Abdul went to school. Although my body left for school, but my mind clearly drifted to Alif. Rangga who like I already know my mind is a bit upset so take over the lesson. Let me rest my brain for a moment.


I dropped out of class, and the break bell sounded soon. In the office the atmosphere is still quiet. All teachers have hours of teaching. Thank God, I can calm things down for a moment. Just sitting on my stool and drinking out my innate mineral water, a man in a dark blue shirt came up to me.


"Why is it here?"


"It's all right, let's drink first. So what's going on here?"


"Oh that. I need to be the same principal" I nodded. "You sick Na?"


"Eh? Not really" who hurt just the heart.


"You pale is his face? Sure it doesn't hurt?" He took the chair next to him, and sat down to face me.


"No. Just a little thought maybe?"


"What thoughts?"


"Friends. He's sick now"


"Have you been taken to Puskesmas?"


"It has. But I still don't know the condition now" so it's still thinking. Where the guilt still continues to struggle spoiled again.


"Not visited?" Yes if you do not know it means not yet visited Mas.


I think this time Mas Pandu asked a lot like a journalist. Either it is interested in this conversation or maybe it is deliberately stalling time to continue talking to me.


"Still later" he understood. Then he took the phone out of his pocket.


"Solicit your number?" Ohh. end-to-end ask for an HP number. But nothing is yes. Counting connecting the cord.


I picked up the phone that was in his grasp, then typed in my number that I had already dropped out of my head.


"What name do you give me?"


"Dear nala" finished being given what treats in the secretary room? So it's kind of got a brain problem.


"Seriously dong Mas" I said. If only my mood was good, I would have blushed from earlier.


"Do you want me to be serious?" Lah. Misfocusing of people.


"Yaudah if that is so, Mas Pandu give his own name" I said while handing over his phone.


"Don't pout dong! I was just kidding. Sorry yes!"


"Yes" ketusku.


"Judah I go home first!"


After he disappeared behind the door, the sound of a bell rang out. I let out a tired breath, still a few hours away.


Finally the time I was waiting for came. When I got home from school, I immediately pulled Salma's arm to go to Puskesmas. Buy the hand first. Maybe bread and fruit. But before that I asked first if Alif had any other allergies.


I don't want my carelessness to endanger him anymore. Alif has an egg allergy.


In front of the room where he was treated there were already several children waiting. There's Rendi, Ucup, and Nopal.


"Ren, been here a long time?" My bases on Rendi.


"Lumayanlah"


"Why didn't you come in?"


"Can't be much. Even inside there are still many girls" I understand.


He then shifted somewhat towards Ucup and Nopal who were still focused on the phone. Take an empty chair.


"Salma, come sit down!"


Whats? So make Salma?


Am I whose best friend this is in company?


As if understanding my confused and dislike face, Rendi then smiled then stood up and walked towards me.


"You sit down too, I know you're tired too" she dragged me to sit in her chair.


"Don't be that mangy! Ugly know not!" In my heart, I have the intention to say thank you. Eh immediately plummeted again my mood. Basic Rendi.


"Cup" called.


"Hmm" the Ucup just dehem.


"Keep his mouth, toxicnya not all out! There were noh girls on the side" said Rendi turned out to make Ucup distract him.


When facing to the left side, precisely towards me his face looks so shocked. Rich look at the devil. And the Rendi walked somewhere.


"Where'd Ren go?"


"Cantin. Fahmi's Nyusul" oohh. His shadow got further and disappeared after turning from the passageway.


"When are you here?" Ask Ucup.


"From now" I answered.


"Ucup if you play dhikr same sholawat aja, Insha Allah will win" is Salma.


But really what he said. Of all the animals coming out of the mouth of the Ucup, mending also sholawatan.


The door of the room opens. One by one they started to come out. They greeted me and then said goodbye to go home. And now it's my turn and the others to come in. The smell of typical medicines instantly rattled. My eyes were immediately fixed on someone lying in the sickle.


Deg.


Prowf...
