(Still Revised) Grandfather's Green Lake

Snails

“What if Young Master proposes to our daughter? Who knows the human heart. I'm even sure once, the Young Master was interested in Mother's daughter.” Nelma's mother is still arguing.

“As for Mom, Dad just reminded, don't dream too high. We must remember and reflect ourselves.” said Father. Then, he sipped coffee made by Mother.

The manyun-manyun mother pursed her lips forward, annoyed. She no longer wanted to argue with her husband, so she preferred to be quiet.

“What do you want to eat today?” ask Ari Viza.

“So, you make anything.” said, He still sees the file Hasan and Buntoro handed to him.

“Alright Brother. I'll make a banana heart vegetable with anchovies sambal ijo.”

“Ya, don't be spicy.”

“Ready, Sister.” Viza placed her hand on her forehead, as if she was saluting the captain.

“Your work is good.” Ari smiled. Now you rest. I want even better results for tomorrow.” he said smiling meaningfully.

“Good, Brother.” replied Hasan and Buntoro.

The two of them are only a difference of how many months with Ari. However, it remains Ari their first brother, Damrah's only legitimate son. They all obeyed Ari's orders from childhood. Completely obedient.

“Then, how about your duty Rashid?” He looked at his smallest brother.

“The woman does not have a lover Sister, but almost the young man in this village knows her. Mother said in the corner stall, almost all young people in this village are very interested in him, but no one dared to approach him.” said Rashid.

“Why?” ask Ari curious.

“Because they feel less competitive with Pak Lurah's son named Hardi. He is handsome, quite located, he also graduated high school.” explained Rashid.

Ari nodded her head. Then a smile, a deathly smile that was very scary for the sisters who knew him. A smile that is intent on cunning.

“You've worked hard Rashid. Now rest. I'll call you if I need anything.”

“Good, Brother.”

Rashid, Hasan, Buntoro went to rest in their rooms. They were tired, had worked a few days very hard.

Before long, there was a knock from outside the door.

“Kakak, can I come in? I brought this food.” Viza's voice came from outside.

“Just enter.” sahutnya from within.

Viza placed a tray filled with food on the table.

“Didn't you say you were going to cook a banana heart vegetable with green chilli anchovies?” Ari stared at the strange gulai in front of her.

“What is this?” His frown raised the black shell.

“I was interested in snails. So buy this, brother. Not cooking green chili. Hehehe.” replied Viza cengengesan.

“It's weird, I don't like.”

“Cobain first Brother, this is delicious.”

“Ngak!” Refusing Viza's opinion.

“Alright, wait a minute, yes, Kak.” Viza's back out.

“Hey, bring this back!” Ari shouted, but Viza was already far away.

Before long, the girl returned with a menu of fried chicken chili ijo. “Well, if this is delicious.” muttered Ari staring at chicken chili ijo.

Viza took Ari's food, then also scooped for her. “I want to eat here too Brother, okay, right?” tanyanya smiled.

Ari simply nodded back, then ate her food ravenously. Occasionally seeing Viza sucking a snail, it looks like the woman is enjoying it very much, it looks very delicious.

“Enak?” ask Ari.

Viza gave her thumb. Slowly Ari tried one, sucking up the contents of the snail. Then he spits it out.

“What food is this! Get rid! Disgusting food!” angry at first.
