DEW PURITY

Simple Breakfast

"Where are Nur and Dewun? They're not going to dinner with us!" Indira, Abra and Ibra speak a thousand languages. Indira sighed, clearly Abra and Ibra were afraid to call the two companions.

"One village woman is enough to piss me off. Now there's more, it's a house or an orphanage!" Haykal said softly, Indira immediately stared intently at Haykal. Clearly Indira was angry and did not like to hear Haykal's way of speaking.

Tap Tap Tap

The sound of the footsteps of Dewun and Indira, rhymed down the stairs. Two friends who meet again in the house of Abimata's family. Abra and Ibra immediately turned their heads, staring in astonishment at Dewun and Nur. Two friends who are wearing matching gamis and combined with the same hijab. Seemed to make both, like a betel on the two sides. Dewun and Nur, like two twins. Their beauty and aura emanate markedly behind the hijab.

"Look at that, they definitely wouldn't miss out on a fancy breakfast!" Haykal said, Abra and Ibra can only remain silent. Both of them were too tired to respond to Haykal's attitude. Perhaps more precisely, they were getting used to Haykal's arrogance.

"If you keep talking, you'll be out of the house right now!" Threaten Indira with a firm tone and emotion. Haykal immediately fell silent, Indira clearly showed her anger.

Ibra lowered her head in laughter, while Abra seemed to be indifferent to Haykal's anger and fear. Abra only cares about Dew. Since last night, he hasn't spoken or looked at Dew's face. Abra was completely muddled, his heart agitated in fear of the problem with Dew continuing to drag on.

"Good morning everyone!" Said Clara with a laugh that was so bright. Abra sighed, he was confused to see Clara coming. Only Haykal smiled happily, he was so expecting Clara to be in his house.

"Good morning, dear Clara!" Sahut Haykal friendly, Indira glared towards Haykal. Clearly Indira did not like Haykal's hospitality. A friendly attitude that seems to want to make fun of Dewun.

"Abra, you're ready. We have to arrive at the location in two hours!" Clara said, Abra was silent.

"Ibra, you replace brother. Come with Clara, today you're taking Dew to the hospital!" Abra said firmly, Clara was immediately silent. There was pain, when he accepted Abra's rejection. The hope that originally shone, instantly dimmed.

"But, the meeting must be led directly by you. If Ibra comes with me, who will lead the meeting?"

"Clara, Ibra can take my place. All meeting details are in this file. You just need to see that!" Abra said firmly, Clara immediately fell silent.

"Abra, you're the leader of this company. So you have to take responsibility. You don't deserve to be concerned about anything else. Work should take precedence!" Haykal said, Abra shook her head rejecting Haykal's request.

"But I'm a husband. There are more important responsibilities than my job. Dew is the single most important thing in my life!" Abra said firmly, Indira nodded in agreement. Clara and Haykal were no longer able to speak. They were silent to Abra's assertiveness. A final decision that no one can dispute?

"That means, papa will never hear my pain. I'll go to the hospital myself. If you think work is more important than me!" Indira said coldly, Haykal immediately turned his head.

"That's not what I mean!" Haykal said, Ibra closed her mouth holding back a laugh. Just this time, he saw Haykal lose his talk to Indira. Haykal's weak point was in fact under Indira's control.

"Then, what do you mean?" Indira said, Haykal immediately fell silent.

"Why are we fighting?" Haykal said softly, Indira silently stared intently at Haykal.

"Parents started it!" Indira is cold.

"Clara, sit down baby. We have breakfast together!" Pinta Haykal, Clara nodded slowly.

Clara sat right next to Ibra, directly opposite Abra. At the same time, Dewun and Nur arrived at the dining table. Abra fell silent, he did not want to see the pain of Dew. Clara's arrival wasn't her asking. But the past between himself and Clara, already exists and has happened.

"Grow baby, we have breakfast!" Pinta Indira, Dewun shook his head slowly. Abra's breath was heard, a signal he had expected Dew's refusal.

"Tante, Dewun and Nur will have breakfast in the back. That's if aunt and brother Abra allow it!" Dew said softly, Indira scrunched her forehead did not understand.

"Sister, don't eat breakfast in the back with Nur!" Dew said softly, his weak voice was still clearly heard.

Abra flinched, she was shocked to hear the sound of Dew. Abra immediately stood up, he stared fixedly at the Dew. The pale face of Dew, instantly tormenting Abra. Dew pain is real, either because of the pregnancy or the pressure that is in the heart of the Dew?

"Why should I be behind?" Abra said softly, Dew lowered his head.

"Darling, I won't ban you. As long as you're ready for breakfast!" Abra said, grasping tightly the cold hand of Dewun.

"Thank you!" Sahut Dewun, then go to the back with Nur.

"Nur!"

"What's Ibra?" Sahut Nur friendly.

"The food you're making, isn't enough for 4 people?"

"How do you know we make food?" Nur Sahut lirih, Ibra smiled knot.

"I heard your commotion. Only you dare to make a row in the kitchen of the Abimata family. Actually, you can't cook!" Ibra said, Nur leaned towards Ibra.

"If this wasn't your house. I taught you a lesson!" Inner Nur was upset, shortly after seeing Ibra's laughter as if mocking him

"We had breakfast with them. When else could you taste their strange cooking? The opportunity didn't come twice!" Said Ibra, as if to bring Abra closer to Dewun.

"Sister-in-law, may we join!" Ibra said, Dew nodded slowly.

"Sorry papa, your fancy cooking no longer makes me taste. I'm more interested in the village's affectionate cuisine!" Ibra said, then drew Abra's hand. Walk following the steps of Dewun and Nur towards the back of the house. More precisely the dining table for ART.

"Wait, mama's coming with you. Why don't you want this fancy food?" Shouted Indira, then chased after Ibra and Abra. Everyone wants to tell Haykal. The treasure he possessed, the luxury he offered. Can't make them comfortable. For they are happier, living simply with love and affection.

"Haykal, look at this dining table. There's no one? There is only you and the luxury you are always proud of. Maybe this morning you have not felt lonely, but later when your weak and fragile. They are the only ones you would expect. If you continue to be arrogant, it is not impossible that Abra and Ibra will stay away from you. I chose breakfast with you. Not because I don't want to have breakfast with them. I'm staying, so I can tell you. The treasure will be worth nothing, without family with us. So learn to understand, before your understanding is too late and everyone has moved away from you!"

"Father!" Haykal said, Ardi nodded slowly.

"Papa won't blame you. Your current attitude, none other than my fault in educating you. So my papa keeps you company. As a way papa makes up for all the time lost in your childhood and youth. I'm sorry Papa Haykal, it's papa who makes you think the treasure of everything and affection is only temporary!" Ardi said, then started eating his breakfast. Haykal looked down, he looked to the right and to the left. No one is accompanying him now. There is only Clara, the daughter she once hoped to be her ideal daughter-in-law.

...☆☆☆☆☆...

In a different place, more precisely the ART dining table. There was an unusual uproar, when almost all ART gathered to have breakfast together. Suddenly the young master of the Abimata family entered. They backtracked, choosing to stay away from the dining table. It was as if they were asking the young masters to have breakfast first.

"Why are you backing out? We had breakfast this morning. No employer and ART, no one should feel awkward!" Indira said, Dewun and Nur nodded. However, some ARTs prefer to stay still and not approach the dining table.

"Are you hungry?" Said Abra firmly and loudly, Dewun turned his head in wonder. While some ART shook their heads. They want to tell me they're actually hungry.

"If you're hungry, why stay away? Fast breakfast, do not let you get sick and permission not to go to work!"

"Okay, Mr. Abra!" Replied them in unison, Ibra smiled knotfully. Everyone was very afraid of Abra. Abra's charisma and decisiveness, made all ART afraid and reluctant of Abra.

Everyone came to the dining table. Take food according to their taste. Then, sit under the mat. Breakfast full of warmth. Not a luxury food served, there is only simple cuisine of the village. Not foreign and fancy cuisine.

Looks fried tempeh and tofu. Sambal that looks so spicy.a plate full of fried eggs. A pot full of artificial vegetable acids Dewun. Plus the fried salted fish is very crisp. Not to forget the white rice mixed with a little corn. Village-style home cooking, served perfectly at the dining table. Cuisine that is obviously rare, maybe even never eaten Abra and Ibra.

"Sister, we're eating there!" Dew said softly, while pointing towards the corner. Abra nodded softly, he saw the Dew was carrying only one plate. Tucked into a sense of wonder, why Dew only bring a plate of rice without a spoon?

"Yeah!" Dew said, Abra silently stared in wonder.

"Open your mouth, I want to feed you with my hands!" Dew said, Abra opened his mouth. Dew feeds Abra with his right hand. Indira smiled seeing the warmth that was happening between Abra and Dewun. The warmth momentarily erased the discord between them.

"You don't eat!" Abra said, Dew shook his head.

"Why? You haven't eaten anything since last night!"

"I just want to bribe you. Seeing you eat, that's enough for me. I'm not hungry anyway!" Dew said, while continuing to feed Abra.

"You still have to eat!"

"Later, when I'm hungry. Now your fill is the most important!" Sahut Dewun relaxing.

"You have to eat or I'll stop eating!"

"I'll eat, but not now. My stomach is still nauseous, afraid even limp. Eat, Clara is waiting for you!" The final Dew, Abra chose silence. If there will be no endless debate.

"Sister can stay awake, to make sure I sleep. Why can't I hold on to hunger? To make sure you're full!" Dew Whispers.

"Darling!"

"I know, all night brother woke up waiting for me. My brother chose to watch me without speaking!"

"I'm sorry!" Abra said, Dew circulates her two beautiful eyes.

"I'm sorry brother, only this simple dish can I make for you. Because I'm a simple woman, but my race is sincere to you. If it is difficult to understand at this time, time will make us understand each other!" Tutur Dewun.

"Nur!" Shouted Ibra, Nur turned towards Ibra.

"Rather than eating alone, how about we eat a plate together?" Said Ibra teasing Nur, Sumput Nur shudder goosebumps. Ibra smiled looking at Nur who was amused. While Indira shook her head to hear Ibra's joke, as if to insinuate Embun and Abra.

"Lazy!" Sahut Nur cold.
