"Assalamu'alaikum!" Ara's voice rang out until the dining hall. Ummi answered his greetings and let his daughter-in-law go to the kitchen
"Well, can it be Abi?" Ummi saw her husband was also with Ara
"So I met you on the street, Mi. These nights let his son walk alone!" abi said as if he did not like his wife to let Ara go alone
"It's okay, Abi. It's not too dark either. Ara who wants to, kangen also want to go to the shop bu Ros" said Ara mentioned the name of the owner of the stall. After all Ara was once a citizen there, so there must be a sense of kangen.
"Yes, Abi want to eat or clean first? Ara fry the crackers for a second huh, Bi!" Ara remembered the plastic contents of the crackle from earlier he was still holding
"Tell me to take a shower first. Uh, who is this?" Ye Jun who had been playing around the glass felt that his existence had been made aware by the three of them
"Hallo, Sir. I'm Ye Jun." Ye Jun extended his hand, Abi greeted him kindly
"Oh ... Yeah, forgot to go to Abi. Ye Jun is the boss where Ara works, Bi" explained Ara, while Abi only 'o' only
"Let's continue eating, I clean first" Abi said patting Ye Jun on the shoulder and leaving
"Ummy! Could you help Abi for a minute!" abi said looking at Ummi, the woman who was dynamic immediately agreed
After the parents died, Ye Jun approached Ara who was inserting a round object with a hard textured white.
As it was stuffed into the hot oil, Ye Jun glared.
"Wow! Why could that be? Is this edible? It's hard!" Ye Jun put down the raw mackerel fish crackers, directly taking the fried crackers that Ara had just lifted from the frying pan
"Belg ... It's hot!" Ye Jun put the criuk back into place
"Oh my God, it's still Ye Jun's arrow! You never saw crackers?" chirps Ara
"Go wash your hands in the running water, after finishing frying this I will give you oil to apply and your hands are exposed to heat earlier!" said Ara nagging like a mother nagging her child
Ye Jun according to, opened the sink faucet and let his hot hand gush with water.
Ara drain all the finished crackers fried onto the medium plug that has been coated with tissue.
"Sit there! Don't take this cracker! If it gets cold, I'll give it to you!" Ara wiped her hands with a cloth hanging above near the plate rack. Then take the medicine box in the usual place Ummi put it
Still nothing changed from this house, thought Ara once found the medicine box where she used to find it there.
"It's dabbing on your hot hands" Ara gave a green bottle with a picture of a bird on the packaging
"It's herbal medicine, God willing. Later the heat will soon disappear after you apply it" Ara said, then after putting the bottle on the table near Ye Jun sat down.
Ara put all the crackers in the jar and placed them on the table.
"It can already be eaten. Try it, it's delicious!" Ara took out one cracker as soon as the sound of criuk could be heard breaking the atmosphere
Not enough one, Ara took back the typical Palembang shrimp crackers.
Ummi and Abi were already there, seeing the bottle of medicinal liquid outside on the dining table made them ask almost simultaneously.
"Why, Ra?" ask Abi
"Why, Son?" ask Ummi
"Ye Jun, Ummi ... Abi! Never seen a man fried crackers! Can't believe he's a hard object can be a crunch if he gets hot oil. Sangkin curious new crackers diangakat play comot only!" ara clear
Abi laughed while Ummi was ordinary, Ummi took rice and side dishes for her husband to eat.
"I've gone first, sir. I was so hungry!" heed
"Call Abi alone" said Abi taking crackers
"Yes, Abi"
A few moments even the room began to be quiet, only the sound of crisps when they spent the cracker setoples earlier.
\=\=\=\=
Still at the dining table, the kitchen room is not too large it is quite comfortable to use for chatting.
Now a cup of tea and coffee accompanied Ye Jun and Abi, while Ummi with warm honey water and coconut bread, only Ara was different, the girl chose to clean the dirty dishes.
"How's your dad doing, son?" ask Abi
Ara stopped the water splash that cleaned the remaining soap on her plate
"Appa ... Baaik, Bi" replied Ara hesitantly
"Don't you know Appa is here, son?" ask Ummi to guess
This time Ara completely stopped her unfinished activities. Drying his hands and sitting together with his two in-laws was also Ye Jun.
"Why does everything Ara does have to tell Appa, Ummi? Was Ara wrong to act like this, Abi?" ara's gaze was so sad, it was very difficult to master emotions when talking about her father
"Be nice to anyone, son. Especially this is your real father. You wouldn't be in this world, we wouldn't even have met if it wasn't for her, honey" Ummi stroked Ara's shoulder lovingly, she said, the woman was not as Ara's in-laws but as her mother
"Until now, Ara still can not be sincere and behave like Ara to Abi and Ummi. Forgive Ara" those tears spilled too
"It's God's destiny, son. The death of your husband Razi, the passing of your real father. Everything must be the best.
There is no destiny that escapes the will of the creator, son." said Abi gave advice
"Ara's been asking what made your father never come back to Indonesia?" asked Ummi, Ara shook her head
"Ara is not ready to hear Appa's explanation, Ummi. Ara was afraid that all this time Ara assumed to be true, Ummi. But ... Ara thinks that's the truth. Ara had seen once Appa's room, in the room there was a photo of a woman and a boy. That must be the reason why Appa forgot us right, Ummi" said Ara
"It wouldn't be clear if Ara didn't ask, son. Isn't that right, Ye Jun?" said Ummi, Ye Jun who had just been silent was surprised, confused to answer what
"I'm sorry, not to interfere. But because Ummi asked maybe what Abi and Ummi just said was right, Ra. Do not make your own conclusions. And as always ... You always give me the answers to every question I ask with your trust.
Is not in Islam being polite to parents is the main thing? Why do you seem to have mastered the theory this time?" said Ye Jun, Ara who had been bowed earlier raised her face to look at Ye Jun
"Ops! I just answered Ummi's question. Sorry are! Gawat Ummi it looks like Sahara is showing off the heat!" ye Jun said with a forced laugh
