Dispute of the Heart (CALYA)

Sweetheart

In front of the two-story minimalist house, a taxi driven by Praba and his parents stopped. The man immediately got down and opened the car door for the two important guests. Next, he grabbed their suitcases and took them.

Calya, who noticed the guests coming, rushed out of the house to greet them.

At the door, Mr. Nugraha and his wife paused for a moment.

"Mr, Mama. I'm Calya, a friend of Praba's contract," said Calya while greeting the couple alternately.

"Oh, is this Calya?" bu Nugraha.

A moment later, the glint of his eyes fell onto the woman's stomach. Its enlarged size definitely brought a question to Bu Nugraha.

"You ... pregnant?" tanyanya.

Calya's speechless. He could feel the tension on the faces of the two Praba parents.

"Ec ... Sir, Ma. Let's just go in first. Just talk inside." Praba takes over the chat, while lifting the suitcase and directing both of his parents to walk into the house.

Praba escorted them into the room that Calya had prepared. The bedroom was previously used by Calya's parents. Calya had changed the matching sheets and curtains, and placed some fresh flower buds on the table. Makes the room feel more comfortable.

"Mom, sir, let's have lunch first" Calya said at the door.

Praba gave a nod as his parents turned to him. Hinted at a question about the Praba agreement.

Now they are at the dining table. Calya swiftly offered food to Praba and his parents.

Bu Nugraha is still not getting a definitive answer about Calya's pregnancy. Therefore, occasionally he still glanced towards the woman's stomach. However, in his heart he did not deny that Calya was a beautiful and kind woman.

"Well, Nak Calya's cooking is delicious. No less the same cuisine of his mother Praba," said Mr. Nugraha.

"Ah, Calya believes that Mother's cooking is much better" said Calya.

"Taste Mom and Calya equally good." Praba.

A few moments later, the lunch was over. Now, Praba and his parents are sitting in the living room. Meanwhile, Calya is in the kitchen with Mbok Darmi to continue his work.

"Praba .. You know, even though this Mother is only a connecting Mother, but Mother loves you very much like Mother's own biological children. I always want what's best for you. Your marriage to Mayla must be separated because of the fate of death. I certainly hope you can find a new companion. Because humans cannot live alone, there must be friends to share their taste. So ... I hope, the life companion you choose is really the best. Not just any woman." Bu Nugraha said to his son.

Praba was silent for a moment. The mother in front of him was not his mother. My mother has been gone since she was a teenager. However, the mother has also been considered as her own birth mother. They love each other like mother and child.

"Yes, Praba knows, Mom," said Praba.

"Say, Son. Tell me that Calya isn't the woman you're going to choose. Tell me you're just regular friends because you live in the same house. Honestly ... Mom saw how you looked at her, and I knew that your eyes on her had meaning, so ... I'm worried."

"okay? Where any good woman is divorced by her husband, then pregnant in the status of a widow." Bu Nugraha gushed softly, completely filled with worry.

"Bus ... Do you want to know why she was divorced by her husband? One reason is because they say Calya can't give offspring. They have been married for more than two years, but Calya is not pregnant. Later, Calya is divorced pregnant, unnoticed by anyone, including Calya herself. Ms. Calya's ex-husband was a friend of Praba's office while on a long-term errand. He has even married another woman since he was married to Calya. Without us knowing it, it was fate that brought us to meet again here. Praba ... Praba loves Calya. Our closeness so far, makes Praba want to always keep it. Trust in Praba. Praba will not disappoint you and your father. Praba wouldn't have picked the wrong one." Praba said with blazing eyes.

"Are you going to marry him?" ask the mother.

Praba. "Yes, but not now. Because Calya can't accept Praba for now."

Bu Nugraha turned to her husband. The husband simply returned the gaze with a nod.

"Do what is good for you, son," said Mr. Nugraha. He signed an agreement on the will of his son.

In the kitchen, Mbok Darmi was washing utensils. While Calya put a few packages of hens into the basket. Myesha has also come to pick up the chicken package that will be delivered again. Bu Nugraha is currently also in the kitchen to see what is done there.

"Mom, this is my sister's Myesha" said Calya introducing her sister. "And this is Mbok Darmi who helped me make this order for the hens" he continued, pointing to Mbok Darmi who was responded with a nod of the head by the middle-aged woman.

"Oh yes. This chicken sale is crowded huh?" ask Bu Nugraha.

"Alhamdulillah, every day the order is always there, even increasing, ma'am," said Calya.

"Well .. great. Besides chicken geprek, is there another menu?" ask Bu Nugraha again.

"Right now it's just a pock, ma'am. You see, Calya is looking for a simple menu, liked, not boring, but the price is affordable for various groups" said Calya.

"Hmm .. Yes, it should be. But ... try to sell other menus that are more varied, but also at an affordable price. Keep the menu is also what is liked by many people," said Bu Nugraha.

"Gee ... Calya hasn't got a new idea yet, ma'am," said Calya.

"Emc .. I have some recipes, how about we test first, who knows if there is a suitable and successful," said Bu Nugraha.

"Gee ... Do you want to teach Calya cooking recipes?" calya asked with a slightly incredulous expression.

Bu Nugraha nodded.

"Oh, Calya's very happy. Thank you, Mom. Then, today as well, we can already test the recipe. For night orders can be handled the same Mbok Darmi, because the chicken just stay fried. Calya the same mother can focus deh," said Calya happy.

Bu Nugraha nodded with a smile.

That afternoon, the two began to experiment in the kitchen. Some recipes are taught by Bu Nugraha, according to the ingredients available in Calya's kitchen. Starting from sauteed fish sauce, balado eggs, to heart potato fried chili.
