Demians

CHAPTER 11 - Fried Rice

I woke up after hearing I saw the sound of dawn, “Jihan, woke Ji...Had dawn” I poked Jihan's arm that was still asleep beside me.

“eugh..iya Dem...” I immediately sat down after hearing the raucous voice of Jihan who was awake.

“ayo don't take long to feed his life, we take ablution together, I'm afraid if alone” my message while collecting awareness by sitting down.

I turned on the room lights to see more clearly. Fortunately Ines did not feel disturbed sleep with the lights on. I saw Jihan sitting down immediately when the room lights were on. I rubbed my face rough to relieve drowsiness and immediately smeared the hair original using a hair tie that I put on the dressing table. Looking at myself in the vanity mirror, I smiled as I looked at the compress plaster stuck to my forehead.

The Flashback

“nih drink first wedang gahenya let's enjoy your body” said Bian while handing a cup containing wedang ginger taken from the dressing table after spending our dinner.

I felt the sweet, spicy, and warm taste of the ginger that I drank when I entered my mouth and went down to my stomach. I immediately spent it because if left too long, wedang jahenya will quickly cool considering the temperature here penetrates the number 14⁰ celsius. I handed the empty cup to Bian and he immediately handed me the fever-relieving medicine to drink.

“I want to pray first Bi..I have not prayed the problem. Later I take medicine after prayer” Bian again put the medicine he held onto the dressing table.

“want me anterin take wudhu?” bargain Bian when I'm about to get out of bed.

“business Bi..I same as Jihan. Which jihan is it?” I opened the door and saw no one in the living room.

“they're like in the next room to play cards. Alfi bring Uno from home because” replied Bian, “ayo I anterin all I naro same plate cup at the back table” he continued.

Finally I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth, wash my face, and take ablution accompanied by Bian. Bian faithfully waited for me in front of the bathroom until when I prayed he still followed me into the room. I wanted to prevent Bian from following me, but there must be a reason he gave me.

“you use kayak ntar plaster nempelnya not?” ask Bian who is currently sitting next to the dresser while watching me do skin care routine finished praying.

I laughed at her funny question in my opinion. Basic guys..everything is the same, do not understand anything about girls, murmured me in the heart. “ya nempel lah Bi...ini water based really, so quickly mengerap” said while applying gel on the face.

Bian did not respond to my words. He only looked at me while occasionally taking my skin care equipment to look at. Even now my makeup equipment that is in the same pouch but different compartments are also restrained by it.

“awas ya Bi if not machined again. I have to go back to the beginning. I'm tired of the natanya” I said with a warning tone, while the one who was warned was cool to open the lid of my lipcream.

Sometimes I see Bian's eyebrows furrowing at my makeup tools. Even at this time she raised both her eyebrows and slightly widened her eyes looking at my makeup brush with mermaid models. He tried to apply the brush on his face.

“feels like megang fish” burst my laughter heard Bian's words that passed plain.

“udah ah Bi..berengar again his goods. That poor Jihan and Ines waited next door. Ntar even overslept there later they” said after finishing with the face business, then began cleaning my equipment which was assisted by Bian.

Bian also took care of my equipment that had been restrained by him. After I finished, I immediately took the medicine that Bian had prepared and Bian placed a fever-reducing compress tape on my forehead. I lay on the bed after and was immediately enveloped by Bian.

“good sleep, hopefully tomorrow you're fresh again” Bian's message while looking at me.

For a while Bian and I looked at each other with Bian's face not far from my face lying down. I felt like Bian wanted to do something but was arrested.

“thanks Bi..good night then” I said who then lay sideways back to Bian and immediately closed his eyes. The last sound I heard was the sound of the room door being opened and closed by Bian.

End Flashback

“you still sick Dem?” jihan asked after being fully conscious.

“engga..my body is already search. Yesterday I had a lot of rest so quickly recovered” answered me while removing the plaster attached to my forehead.

“other than rest also last night will be treated intensively sir doctor special” said Ines who suddenly joined my conversation with Jihan while keeping his eyes closed.

“apasih Nes..alah ah even not kelar-kelar if you have already chatted this. Come Ji...buru abis timed” refuted me while moving towards the door of the room to open it.

“ikuuutt” said Ines was spoiled while getting out of bed and walking around following me and Jihan.

Finally the three of us went into the bathroom together for fear of having to change and wait for each other. The position of the bathroom in Bu Rima's house is behind the house which directly penetrates the empty yard and is not illuminated in the yard. Fortunately, the bathroom of Bu Rima is very spacious, if said Alfi can play football, ck-there is only that person.

Me, Jihan, and Ines went back to the room after urinating and took ablution. Jihan and I took turns at dawn because the prayer room only fit one person, while Ines lay on the bed playing HP. Jihan and I are not strong if you have to pray in the middle room because they cannot stand the cold air temperature in the morning which after checked by Ines reaches 13⁰ celsius.

“what time are you sleeping?” ask after I finish the prayer.

“jam 12..eh Yes Ji?” ask Ines to Jihan.

“jam 12 tuh we just came out of the boy's room, and then went to the bathroom first to clean up..jam half 1an we just slept” said Jihan who corrected Ines' answer, “i fit hold your cheek has started to drop fever. Maybe the medicine given by Mas Bian is effective for you Dem, do you love him full of love, yes Nes?” I immediately pouted hearing Jihan and Ines who started teasing me again. Ines only responded with a meaningful smile.

“start deh...got like ah me if already gini. Anyway how come you guys lost anyway Bian to bring my dinner?” ask me who is curious.

“nih ya Dem, Bian tuh worried very fitting you drop again last night. Trus you know from before Maghrib it was raining, then the rain just subsided at 9am if gasalah. That Bian out buy medicine you fit again profusely loh.he out using his car Alfi, because your car gasoline off limit. He even forgot to make dinner with us because he had to go out and buy your medicine. Finally he said dinner with you when you wake up. Eh wait until 9 you do not wake up, and then built up with him finally” explained Jihan who told me about last night.

“ihhh very severe anyway you guys nguping..” annoyed me, “gue not assortment with him times Nes..we just eat together really. Maybe he led you to the room because I was embarrassed last night eating a plate together. Where's the spoon he deliberately brought one more doang. Abis drank both of them. Gatau lah..gue was also dizzy thinking of him who was magical gitu” Ines and Jihan immediately shouted excited when hearing my story.

“trus trus, he had a weird conversation that is not it?? Wow, like my abis hajatan, you immediately followed Dem” said Ines giggled. I just rolled my lazy eyeball.

“not saying anything.Yes you know for yourself Bian how the person. Flat so gabisa open the topic chat” reply cuek.

“but Dem, how did I hear you laugh so fast huh??” I guess what Jihan meant was when I laughed at Bian's innocence at my makeup brush. I finally explained all my conversations with Bian last night so that Jihan and Ines wouldn't suspect anything strange about me and Bian.

“Dem, does that Bian have a double personality? How can I not believe that Bian will care as much as lo” asked Ines who still does not believe my story last night about the treatment of bian to me. Jihan wasn't too surprised to hear my story because I told her how Bian would behave if only with me.

“maybe. I have until now gabisa nebak mind tuh people. Only he and God know how his heart and mind are.

Suddenly the room door was knocked by Devan who called us to immediately exit the room to help Bu Rima prepare breakfast. Jihan and Ines I told you to get out first because I had to tidy up our beds and clean the room. Finished with the affairs of the room, I immediately went out to the kitchen located in the front stall of the house using long-sleeved shirts coated with pastel pink hoodie and navy long training pants. My long hair was deliberately broken so that my head would not get dizzy anymore and instead, I put on a bando so as not to cover my face.

When I opened the room door, I met Mas Bagas who was sitting while playing HP.

“eh Mbak Demi..gimana mbak, is it better?” ask when I see him.

“alhamdulillah already mas.maaf yes last night did not have time to join” I replied while putting on a sorry look.

“gapapa kok mbak.lagian there are still 3 days left Mbak Demi get-together with others” replied Mas Bagas with a smile.

“hehe yes..yeah then I go to the kitchen first yes mas, want to help-help” said me while nodding politely and directly walk out of the house to the stall without waiting for an answer from Mas Bagas. I don't know if I feel uncomfortable having to talk to him for too long since our last meeting.

I immediately joined Bu Rima, Jihan, and Ines in the kitchen to prepare breakfast. The breakfast menu this morning is fried rice. I saw Jihan was cutting vegetables and Ines was suwir-suwir chicken meat used as a complement to fried rice, while Bu Rima was preparing the seasoning to be used.

“eh Mbak Demi..has been healthy mbak?” mama asked when she saw me standing in front of the kitchen door.

“alhamdulillah already ma'am..this what is still lacking bu? Let me help” asku offer help.

“ini mbak not yet made the drink. Please make tea yes Mbak Demi..” pinta Bu Rima which I immediately replied with a nod.

I directly filled the water into the kettle and heated it on the stove. I also took a frying pan and placed it on the stove when I saw the equipment for cooking fried rice had not been prepared. Then I poured enough cooking oil in the pan. The stove for cooking fried rice deliberately has not been lit because of the seasoning that is still prepared by Bu Rima.

While waiting for the water to boil, I prepared a thermos and poured the tea into it. I immediately turned off the stove when the water had boiled and raised the kettle to pour the water into the flask. While waiting for the tea in the thermos to change color, I poured the sugar into the glass I had prepared. After waiting for a few minutes, I immediately poured the tea into a glass located on the tray.

“Mbak Demi, tea so that you can bring it in all you want to go to the room first” said Bu Rima when I will bring tea into the house.

“oh yes ma'am..later nasi gorengnya let me cook. Is the roof ready?” ask me when I see the seasoning that has been mashed.

“udah mbak..it just enter the skillet. Oiya same rice is also cooked so it can be cooked now” explained Bu Rima.

I opened the rice cooker to take out the rice. Turn on the stove to heat the oil in the pan. After being ready with everything, I immediately cooked fried rice in large portions for 8 people. Assisted with Ines, I lifted a frying pan of cooked rice while Jihan brought a plate and a spoon to bring into the house.

“wii steady this fried rice” said Alfi when I saw me and Ines brought a frying pan filled with fried rice.

“the blue until here weh fit cook earlier” continued Devan with sparkling eyes.

Alternately, we take the fried rice from the pan into the dish. Before the meal, Bian led prayers for me, Jihan, Alfi, Bu Rima, and Mas Bagas, while Ines and Devan began to move his right hand touching his forehead, chest, and chest, and his two shoulders formed the sign of the cross to perform prayer. After praying, we started to eat breakfast.

“this who cooked?? Very nice..mau deh have a wife who can cook as well as this” comments Alfi who praised my cooking when finished swallowing his first feed, “pedasnya tuh pas this…for the spicy gasuka would still be able to eat this” he continued.

“ful very..but certainly not Ines this anyway..gue memorized because” said Devan co-cited the comments of Alfi because Devan is the same as me, does not like spicy food.

“lo want to have a wife who can cook as well as this, indeed Demi want to be lo Al?” tanya Jihan responded to Alfi's question. I just smiled as I shook my head at this conversation.

“yaakk no hot tuh Al” chirps Ines who invites laughter for us. Jihan scowled at Ines's teasing speech, while Alfi laughed at Jihan.

“quiet beb...kasakan you remain a champion for me kok” said Alfi while winking one eye towards Jihan who rolled lazy eyeballs, said Alfi, “lagian who will continue to enjoy the cuisine Demi until old Bian just like. The proof is.difficult to use direct comments gas aja ngabisin nasgor made by Demi” Bian immediately choked when Alfi offended him. I who happened to be sitting next to Bian immediately took a drink of his and helped him drink while patting slowly on his back.

“duhh last night still not satisfied uwu-uwunya” chirps Alfi who increasingly teasing me and Bian.

I glared my eyes at Alfi, “ck could not use his mouth to eat!!” grunt me at him.

His name is also Alfi still teases me with Bian during breakfast. I finally finished my breakfast staring hard at him. Once I saw Mas Bagas sitting next to Alfi looking at me and Bian with a hard to interpret look.
