"Mbak Adel why? Is his face so tangled?" alice asked when she accidentally saw Adel Energi sitting daydreaming on the porch of the house after receiving a call from Zidan.
Alice sat down beside Adel, and spread her head in the lap of her foster sister.
"Nisa's pregnant ...."
"What?" alice straightened back up with wide eyes.
Adel rubbed his hand against Alice's face. "Obviously, it's not done yet."
After gulping her saliva, Alice again looked at Adel carefully ready to listen to his story.
"Nisa's pregnant, only 2 weeks old. Mbak seneng actually, just ...."
"Baby jealous?" cut Alice fast.
Again, Adel scooped up Alice's face, this time with both hands.
"Don't habit nyamber dong ah." Adel scowling.
"Eh, yes, sorry for the blur. Continue to dong part 2."
"No, I'm not jealous anymore, why am I jealous? anyway you'll know for yourself what Mbak asked them before we came here the other day."
Alice nodded quickly because she could not wait to hear Adel's story.
"Continue, continue," he said it should watch the film trailler.
Adel sighed softly. "But our vacation time is still 3 days away, dear dong if you have to go home now. Mbak is still at home here, but Mas Zidan maksa came home because it was already right what Mbak asked for. She said she can't go home and can't break her promise."
Alice laughed out loud at Adel's child-like reasoning.
"Hahahha, Mother ... Mbak .. kirain there is an important thing like not being able to go home. Apparently just because it's still at home. Uh, but really Ma'am, we don't go home yet."
"Why?" it was Adel's turn to look at his foster sister's astonishment.
Which now his face became as red as lamb chili which was fertile-porridge in the side yard.
"Hey, even daydreaming. Why?" urged Adel impatiently because Alice instead daydreamed while smacking a smile.
"Ah, no." Alice dodged Adel and ran into the kitchen.
There, Bu Hanif and grandma seemed to be busy peeling the yam.
"Miss! It's poisonous!" jolt Alice while reaching for her grandmother's hand and trying to keep her away from the yam keladi known can make the itching.
"Eh, what the hell are you doing, Al? poisonous what? What is poisonous?" cecar Nek Hindun while removing the hand of Alice who was still holding it.
"It's not poisonous Neng, it's called yam keladi. Can be eaten, is this father nanem." Ms. Hanif took over the freshly peeled sweet potato from the basin and began washing it with running water.
"But ...."
Alice still could not believe it and wanted to protest.
Jdugs.
"Awww, Grandma! how come Alice's in the shakes anyway?" alice protests after her grandmother's middle finger lands smoothly on her eel.
"You're a doctor, but kok oon. This time just do not know, sweet potatoes that can be eaten the same toxic is different. Not to be confused, you city boy!" oceh Nek Hindun while heading to the bathroom to wash his hands that had been exposed to sticky rubber.
Alice was still grumbling as she stroked her pulsating eel.
Ms. Hanif offered her a piece of clean rice and she had cut it small.
"Try your own grades, you're a doctor. Should know dong, where is the poisonous yam that can still be eaten?"
Alice received the small piece of the yam with fear, the shadow of her clenched and reddened hand as the itching took hold of her head.
Alice began to hold and squeeze the yam to taste the texture and the sap that came out of the flesh. It feels sticky but the smell does not sting indicates that the yam can be consumed after removing all the sap content.
Ms. Hanif who was frying sweet potatoes that were clean and in the flour baluri, gave a small smile to look at Alice who looked so sedentary checking the pieces of yam.
"Oh, this child .. why is that all the raw yam you hold? Later your new leather gatel nangesss!" nek Hindun's nagging teases Alice who is usually very maniacal with what she can and cannot eat.
Nek Hindun is actually upset because Alice always interrupts her meal time and often makes her unable to enjoy her food because of a myriad of health reasons only because Nek Hindun is getting old. And now the grandmother saw a gap to be able to start pranking her granddaughter.
"Here, here kebaliin yam .. want fried mom. You eat this one, it's fried in a delicious guarantee." Ms. Hanif brought the piece of yam that was held by Alice and replaced it with a plate of fried yam that was still hot.
The distinctive aroma of sweet potato is out, the smell is not too stinging but unique makes Alice interested in tasting it. After believing that the yam is safe of course.
Just as he was about to put a piece of yam that he had blown into his mouth, a hand grabbed the yam and ate it deliciously.
"Grandma!" alice's protest was upset because she had blown and fanned the yam until the warm fit to eat but instead slid into her grandmother's stomach.
Nek Hindun laughed and sat back in his place.
"Hahahah, the town boy doesn't have to eat this. Later allergies," kekeh Nek Hindun while fanning again yam keladi which is still on the plate for him to eat again.
"Huh, himself also lives in the city all other people." Alice scowled and re-picked a piece of fried yam because she was very curious about the taste.
Hap
Again the yam that was ready to be tired Alice changed hands quickly, like the wind or maybe like lightning. Who else did it if not Nek Hindun, grandmother is not just any grandmother but she is a grandmother.
"Grandmothers who are fit, so all this grandmother has," Nek Hindun interrupted before Alice opened her voice to protest.
"Mom" call Adel who just came back from the terrace.
"Bak, here eat yam." said Alice while plucking a handful of sweet potatoes that had begun to cool and thrust it on Adel.
"Heh, it's Grandma's!" kelakar Nek Hindun pretended to sulk but his mouth still chewed the yam casually.
Adel took one and started eating it.
"Why, Son?" asked Bu Hanif after putting down another plate of yam that had just matured.
"Lusa Adel came home, yes" said Adel Lirih.
His face implies sadness but also compulsion at the same time.
"Loh why? Is there 3 more days?" cecar Bu Hanif is worried, because he thinks there is an urgent matter that forces Adel to go home sooner than planned.
Adel sighed and sat down at the bamboo hall right beside Alice.
"She's pregnant, Mom."
"What?" exclaimed Mr. Hanif who had just come from behind, even the firewood on his pelvis had fallen so surprised.
"Sir! Don't faint there, sir! Sana's in her room so don't bother to cut it, heavy!"
