ANDRE'S CHANGE

“Says today on bring one kind huh? Not bring each of them as usual?” the question came out of Andre's lips.

“Yes if Harry does not come we are confused because he is the one who brought rice,” replied Tria.

“Actually this is a special menu for you from Tin,” Herry said. He gave the provisions brought to Andre.

“What is this?” ask Andre. He opened it without being told.

“Wow this is called genjer flower? Wow amazing!” said Andre. Without delay Andre immediately took a spoon and tasted the dish.

“It feels special yes. Like kale but different. Well thank you. I will immediately say thank you to my beautiful sister,” said Andre excited like getting a very valuable gift.

Tria opened the provision of tempe and krupuk.

“Today I brought something special too,” Andre said.

“What is it?”

“This is what I cooked. Maybe you'll feel weird. This is called mashed cassava leaves. Unlike yesterday made by Gendis' mother, Herry's mother,” Andre said.

“Who is the same?” ask Harry.

“Looks like the same spice made by his mother Herry. Can be made with spicy spices or made not spicy. Just like people. I think the basics are the same. It's only in us that it's pounded first. Like a porridge. Maybe, sorry there is ji-jik because of the shape like this. But it must be delicious if for those who are used to eating,” explained Andre.

“Who said ji-jik? It must be a pleasure,” said Herry. They also started eating the menu they brought. There is no luxury side dishes only tempeh and crackers when they are not children of the lower middle class. They are all middle to upper class.

Even if for money, Herry can buy a house and car from his own business. Not from his parents.

Simplicity is ingrained for them. And Andre has never been extravagant. His son Gultom Situmorang is indeed unpretentious even Andra who has been given a car every day to the campus still uses ordinary motorcycles. Very different from Eka when the wealth of Husein far below Gultom.

“Wah, scrumptious .. scrumptious,” said Harry felt the freshly mashed cassava leaf vegetable they had once tasted. If Tria yes of course it has been often. Since childhood he often stayed at his budenya house and he was used to opung. Make Tria opung also granddaughter, because in the opung family there are no granddaughters as well. So make Riana and Tria's opung special.

“Actually it's better if you cook mama Riana. Although this is original cuisine of the field. But mama Riana is better at this cook,” explained Tria.

“Iya?” ask Herry.

“Bener Mas's. Mama is cooking. Cook arsik was better mama than opung.”

“That's fish Mas but in seasoning with menu from Medan,” explains Tria.

“Tria you sometime make dong. I'm not curious,” pinta Harry.

“Luckily there is no Satrio yes, if there is Satrio you are out. You were embarrassed at first. Turns coy. Mealer,” said Herry.

“If you have known me since long ago, since Junior High we are together so you are not strange right?” answer Harry.

“Iya Satrio just knew you,” reply Herry.

“If I have known him since last week, I already know this guy is greedy,” Andre said of course with his typical laugh. A very loud laugh.

Teachers like to be confused to see the familiarity of the children of rich people. They were not ashamed to bring rice from home unlike the other disciples who were so rested directly invaders the canteen.

“Tomorrow it as it is now yes. I'll bring you another special menu. I brought vegetables. Harry kept the rice or it could be barren or ketupat. Tria like today the side dish can be tempe or tofu or crackers and Andre like today also that passion fruit juice from Medan,”, said Herry while cleaning his cutlery.

It was not actually juice in the form of juice that Andre brought along. It's bottled syrup from Medan but it's written juice. So cold syrup alone is not thick as fruit juice that Tria used to make. Never drink only syrup.

“What special menu do you want to bring tomorrow?” ask Harry.

“I want to bring pecel. This pecel is special as usual. Usually it's just eating with bakwan alone not with rice was delicious.

That's why I told you that Harry will bring ketupat tomorrow or just not need rice.

“Then I brought bakwan,” said Tria.

“I tomorrow bring bakwan and crackers.”

“Well okay I make sure I bring the pecel, but I bring the spicy spice yes,” replied Herry.

“Kan we all like spicy. So don't ask that,” Andre said. He can't wait to get a new menu again.

“Truly hanging out with you guys I'm becoming happier. No need to bother with snacks and fuss in the canteen because it precedes each other,” said Andre.

“Actually precede each other ordinary. You are too hot to make a fuss,” said Harry.

Andre just grinned because that was the fact that little nagging he would instantly rampage and his fist immediately floated. He was feared for his brutality besides being a futsal whiz.
