Beautiful That's Me
Mama's Cake Shop
I'm so sleepy today. All I do is listen to sad songs and spiritual songs. Purposefully
I minimize listening to rock songs and dangdut koplo, so what? So that my heart is cleaner. Huh! But it has nothing to do with it anyway. Mama makes cakes every day, my job is only to buy cake ingredients at Bu Nur's place. Maybe mama is interested in making a cake business, I really support it as long as mama is still able.
I went out of the room and got mineral water in the fridge. Mom was busy with her mixer. Bored in my room, I approached my mother.
“Make this much cake for what the hell is Ma?”
Mama turned her head, then refocused on the dough.
“Make guest.”
“Hah, who?”
“Later malem you also know Can.”
I just nodded, no matter.
“Things of yesterday wearing that shirt? How come his clothes are changed? Two days ga shower Can?”
I looked at my shirt.
“Why lo? Gan ga everywhere.”
“Ya bathe dong.. You are an adult, just a lecture. Childhood virgin can not digrawat body.”
“Ih, college is also still a long time.”
“Yes, can be prepared from now”
I snorted softly, picked up the towel and stepped towards the bathroom door. From the bathroom, I heard my mom calling someone. I shrugged my shoulders and did not care about my parents.
“Let's wear a beautiful shirt yes Can.”
I looked at my mother in wonder. Mama's been weird ever since the mixer arrived. I'm so overthingking, don't mama already have a boyfriend? The mixer's from mama's cup, right? Don't you want to get married again? I immediately shook my head. No, hopefully not yet. I'm not ready to have a new father yet, I mean I still can't accept anyone else in this family. Candra is enough to be annoying, don't add
personnel again.
At exactly 8pm, the door was knocked. The voice of an adult man said his greetings. I stared at the door vigilantly.
“Open the door Can”
“Who the hell is Ma?”
“Open aja”
Mama is still cleaning the kitchen, and Candra is engrossed in playing online games. I rushed towards the source of the sound.
“Assalamualaikum”
The voice was getting clearer and clearer, I carefully opened the door. I wonder who my mom's boyfriend is
actually was. When I opened it, a man wearing black jeans and a green jacket stood firmly in front of me.
“At the name of mbak Cantika?”
I gawk. Mr. ojol already smiled widely while handing over a packet of food.
“This news is yes mbak. thank you”
I'm still stuck at the door. Oh, so not your mom's boyfriend who's coming, huft thank goodness.
“Caan!! Bring here!”
I turned around and handed the martabak to the dining table.
“Mama pesen food a lot for whom anyway?”
“Adadeh, look aja bentar again.”
Sure enough, a few minutes later the door was knocked by someone. I hurried to open the door. A mother figure with a wide rectangular hijab looked at me with white teeth radiating. Behind him, there was a man with ears like a pan also grinning towards me. Hah, Miss Nur, what are you doing?
“Eh Bu Nur's.. Please enter Bu”
Mama let Bu Nur and this scurvy into the house. Shortly after, a black car came in
home page. Someone with shoes conversed out of the car, followed by a woman in her 40s with a branded bag in her hand.
“Halo, Can”
That smile made me mute for a moment, A-Alvi!!! Alvi is coming home!! Oh my god what dream am I today!!
“Eh, hi vi.”
“S-please enter aunt.please enter Vi” With clumsily I come into the living room with them.
I looked at the four guests who were coming. They looked at me with happy faces. Not until I was confused by this situation, a bunch of mothers and their children had entered the living room.
“This is what event is Ma?”
“It's your birthday Can”
I glared straight away.
“Heh!! My birthday is still two months away!!”
“Hah? Who's birthday is that?” Mama saw me panic.
“Ne-no, it's mama who made the event.”
“No, as I recall you are birthday today”
Mama still rattled with her argument. All the guests were confused.
“Not Ma.. I'm two months away.”
Mama was silent for a moment, before long moved and called Candra who was engrossed in playing online games.
“It turns out Candra's birthday, hahaha”
Mama let off a happy laugh. Surprisingly, the mothers there also laughed at the sight of mama. I just stared at Wawan and Alvi with a bit of embarrassment. They just laugh. Later that night, mama asked do’a so that I can also enter the university easily and become a useful woman for Nusa and Bangsa. I just did’a hope mama is happy and Alvi is fooling with me. That night, Alvi said that three more days SBMPTN announcement. I just nodded and thanked him. While Wawan said that the cake made by my mother was delicious. Even if I told you to bring home another cake that she likes, my house is full of cakes
mama's experiment, so I had to share it with people. It turned out to be true my guess, soon mama opened a cake shop near the Senen Market. Its name is “Bakery” algebra is really a cake shop that is not interesting at all.
