Dreams of Devi

Getting along Again

This morning I did not leave with Alwi. Because of helping her out the other day, my relationship with Nindi went awry. I can't imagine that today Nindi is still reluctant to talk to me. I hope there is a chance to explain the truth.

I walked slowly after parking the bike. Incidentally today there is a spilled market held on the outskirts of the road to the school. The variety looks so tempting. Unfortunately my money is not enough, I can't buy it.

I stopped on the road for a moment. My shoelace was out of the loop. I crouched down to fix it. I looked up when someone stopped beside me, from his shoes looking like Nindi.

"Eh, Nindi," I said a little awkwardly this time.

"Udah? Come on, I'll help!" Nindi reached out her hand to help me.

"Tumben leaves early in the morning, Nin."

It was like meeting a new person. It's hard to find a suitable topic and it really feels awkward. However, Nindi's arrival this time made me feel a little relieved. That means Nindi is no longer angry with me, right?

"So my grandmother nebeng together to go to the spill market. He's the one who wants to cry, he's the one who told me to hurry." Nindi pouted, she seemed to be really upset.

"Where is your grandmother going?" Nindi sniffed her shoulders.

"Grandma's gone first, I'm still parking."

Me and Nindi were walking leisurely among the passers-by. The spilled market held once a week is indeed crowded. A little irritating, complicating access to school only.

"Well, that's my grandmother buying snacks."

Nindi then called the elderly woman she introduced as her grandmother. The grandmother waved her hand and hinted to come to her. Nindi pulled me and I followed her who was half running.

"Which one do you want?" tanya Nindi's grandmother offers a variety of wet cakes.

"What's that called, Grandma?" Nindi pointed at the brown-colored food with a slightly watery texture.

"That's a lizard, will you?"

"It's sweet, Grandma?"

I once ate that snack. Mother used to make it often during the fasting month. You also really like Mother's chirping, as well as me and Rehan.

The food is made from cassava flour or commonly called steamed tiwul then finely ground or the term Jawa is set. The sweetener is made from grated coconut, sugar, brown sugar, a little salt, and pandan leaves as an aroma enhancer. I miss Mom's lizard, but I think Gatot is more interesting.

Unlike the lizard that has a sweet taste, gatot has a taste tend to be salty savory. Gatot itself is a food made from cassava. Cassava that has been peeled, dried, even deliberately rained until the color becomes blackish because of the presence of mushrooms. Although the color and aroma are strange, gatot is still delicious to eat. Gatot is processed by steaming and for its presentation is quite simple, namely by adding coconut grater.

"I want to, Grandma. Devi want what?" bargain Nindi to me.

"Oh, what do you want your friend? All Grandma bought." So please just say this.

"Gatot only, Nin."

"Which gatot is it?" Nindi was less familiar with traditional food. He's never eaten before.

"Alwi all of you are also like. Grandma, two packs, yeah." Well, I'm glad Nindi said that phrase. That means yesterday's problem is over, right? He got along with me and Alwi again

I was actually curious to ask you about the misunderstanding yesterday. However, it seems that it is no longer important to discuss. I think Nindi has already gotten an explanation from Alwi. Yeah, maybe I'd be a little offended if Nindi started first.

"Okay, thanks, Grandma. Nindi went to school, yeah."

Upon arrival in class, the place is still in closed door condition. That means no students have come yet, me and Nindi are the first. Nindi and I spent a lot of time in the market.

"Nin, sit with me, right?" ask me as I put the bag on the table.

"Yes, lah. Can't do? Yes, that's it." I know he's harassing me.

"I'm sorry princess." I rubbed Nindi's chair and desk, mimicking the clean-up movement using a duster.

"Here, the place is guaranteed clean. I invite you to sit on the throne." Nindi even laughed, even though I had the totality of the drama as if being a royal servant.

"Thank you, my lady." Nindi bowed mimicking Barbie's elegant character. Well, it's becoming more and more evident.

"You go, Nin. I'm tired, early in the morning it's drama."

"You started, didn't you, Dev?"

Nindi was this good, suddenly hating me for the little things that were exaggerated. It's only natural that I keep thinking. Fortunately, yesterday's storm was gone and passed today.

"Dev, I was curious about the food. We're eating, yuk!" Nindi brought out two banana leaf-wrapped foods that her grandmother had bought earlier.

He opened it, but still looked curious. The seller turned out to prepare a skewer used to make it easier when eating it. As a result, the hands will not be sticky exposed to the sauce.

"Oh, gini turns out to be the taste. Cute, Dev. Cobain!" Nindi gave me her prick earlier.

"I've eaten, Nin. It was good, I used to make it often. I want to, yeah." It's nice, but I miss Mom's lizard more.

"Aren't you curious as I asked you to be?" I open a gatot that may look unattractive to some people because the color is not tempting.

"It's like that, anyway. Good one?" Nindi grimaced as I ate the gatot.

"Eh, this is delicious, you know. You don't want to try? One first time." Nindi finally tried.

"Appearance does not reflect the taste. It tastes good." Nindi gave her thumb.

It has been 06.40 WIB, but there have been no additional students who came. I'm a little suspicious, maybe some of them were involved in the spilled market earlier. In addition to various snacks, there also provides attractive accessories at low prices.

"Well, early in the morning what breakfast, tuh." The new Alwi came straight for me and Nindi.

"Still quiet, Al. Didn't you meet your friends?" my many.

"I've seen some kids still in the spilled market just now. Not to rush to school, instead stop by." Alwi devoured one mouthful of Nindi's lizard.

"Enak. Buy where?"

"In the market spilled earlier. I bought it for you, too, this." Nindi handed over the food that was purchased specifically for Alwi earlier.

"Thank you my dear Nindiku. Oh, it's getting pretty now." Alwi pulled Nindi's cheek until the girl complained.

"Don't do it, dong. Sick knows!" nindi Protest.

I cleared my throat and pretended to choke. Well, like a married couple who just got better. I was cast out, O God.

"Dev, bought the same snack as a romantic girlfriend, but never the hell do you have a boyfriend?" Huh, I hate that sentence that Alwi said.
