6. Betawi Goat Sop
The atmosphere of the night was quite crowded, many cars and motorcycles passed on the highway. Dining places are crowded with visitors.
“Where do you want to eat?” tanya broke the silence between them.
Poppy silently did not answer Budi's question, she still seemed to be angry.
“I'm sorry,” said Budi, his gaze fixed to the highway.
Poppy turned to Budi.
“I'm sorry I did a sassy thing to Mom. I did it all so Mom didn't go alone.”
“Women go alone at night too dangerous, many bad guys lurk. Moreover, Mother is pregnant, becomes an easy prey for men who have evil intentions.”
Budi turned his head towards Poppy, their sight meeting. Poppy didn't say anything she just looked at Budi.
“What mom wants to eat?” ask Budi.
Poppy hasn't answered Budi's back looking ahead.
“I want to eat Betawi goat soup,” replied Poppy while continuing to look at Budi.
“OK, I already know the place?” ask Budi .
“Hmmm me and Kang Rangga used to eat on the road...”.
Budi directly directs the car to the road referred by Poppy.
Arriving on the road…….Budi did not find a restaurant just a place to eat with five feet that lined up along the road.
“Where is the seller of Betawi goat sop?” ask Budi while glancing to the right and to the left of the road.
“Tuh, in front of which there is a car out, "Poppy pointed in the direction in question.
“Parking on the street is okay, Mom?” budi asked uncertainly, because Poppy's car is a luxury sedan that costs fantastic.
“Nothing, Mr. Budi. Kang Rangga and Kang Reno also often park here.”
Park the car on the side of the road.
“Let's go down,” take Poppy with you while slinging the bag strap to the shoulder and about to get out of the car.
“Wait a minute, Mom,” said Budi held Poppy to get out of the car.
“Why?” ask Poppy confused.
Budi got out of the car and turned to open the car door for Poppy.
“Be careful, Mom,” says Budi.
“Thank you,” Poppy said as she got out of the car and stood on the side of the car waiting for Budi to close and lock the car.
Then they walked together to the tent of a Betawi goat soup seller. The atmosphere in the Betawi goat sop tent is a bit quiet maybe because it is night.
The clock in Budi's hand has been pointed at eight more than a quarter.
Poppy approached the goat soup seller who was concocting the soup,
“The goat soup pack is two mixed do not use offal, the rice is two."
“Drink what, Bu?” ask the seller.
Poppy looked back to look for Budi, it turned out that the employee was really protective he was still keeping him standing behind.
“Pak Budi want to drink what?” ask Poppy.
“Teh hot bargain, Bu,” reply Budi.
“Tea hot bargain 2, Sir,” said Poppy to the seller.
“Good, Bu.”
After ordering food they looked for a seat. Choose a safe place to sit and the seat is safe to sit in. After finding a safe place and chair, Budi invited Poppy to sit down.
The visitors shook their heads to see Budi very selective in choosing places and chairs.
“How, the chair is rocking?” ask Budi with a slightly tense face.
“Aman, Sir. Don't worry,” replied Poppy calmly.
“Or want to sit in front of your brother? That's the chair from wood,” Budi pointed towards the seller who was concocting spices.
“It's here, sir. I'm okay.”
“If you want to fall hold my hand, yes!” exclaim Budi.
“Iya, Mr. Budi.”
Finally their order came, so Poppy could calm down because Budi did not fuss about the problem of the rocking bench. They can enjoy food comfortably.
“Goodnight ladies and gentlemen, please allow us to present a song to entertain everyone,”
There was the sound of a loud guitar
I've never asked
Perfect companion figure
Enough of him always
Patience accompanies in my shortcomings
But God presents
You're the greatest woman
Strong 'never complain
My happiness is always with you
If there was a miracle
I want to engrave
Your name is above the stars of space
To let everyone know
You mean to me
S'long and ever you're mine
Now I have proven it
You are a loyal companion
Strong 'never complain
Happy to be with you
If there was a miracle
I want to engrave
Your name is above the stars of space
To let everyone know
You mean to me
S'long and ever you're mine
Cannot always
Happy you
But I'll fight
For the greatest of you
Dream lover
If there was a miracle
(If there is a miracle)
I want to engrave
Your name is above the stars of space
So that everyone knows
You mean to me
S'old forever
S'long and ever you're mine
(Lover of dreams by
Natta Reza )
It turns out that following a pregnant desire is not just enough to eat Betawi goat soup.
Along the way home Poppy asked Budi to stop to buy sweet martabak, salted martabak, toast, cheese banana, cakwe, onde-onde and molen. Justjust be
shaking their heads looking
poppy behavior that does not take his eyes off the typical snack seller at night.
“Kok nobody sells rujak, anyway?” poppy complained.
Budi immediately turned to Poppy when he heard Poppy's complaint.
WHATS? RUJAK'S? be in the heart.
Come on, really look for a night out.
“No one sells rujak night-night, Bu,” said Budi carefully.
“Nothing, huh? Though I want to rejak,” said Poppy with disappointment.
Budi sighed.
“How about buy the spoon tomorrow only?” budi Suggestion.
“Tomorrow? Is there early in the morning?” ask Poppy.
‘Iya, early in the morning already there. Later I will take her friends home,” replied Budi who tried to believe Poppy.
“Do not drive home, I want to see for myself how to make it,” said Poppy.
“OK, I will pick up later, if the contractor has sold.”
“Bener, yes ? I wait !”
“Ready, Ms boss.”
The next day when the dawn of the Adhan has not
reverberating Bu Tiara was shocked to see many food parcels on the dining table.
“Who buys this much food,” whispered bu Tiara .
The sound of the open door can be seen Mr. Aep who is getting ready to go to the mosque.
“Dad, this who brought this much food?” ask Bu Tiara.
Mr. Aep looked up at the dining table,
“Maybe, Mah,” replied Mr. Aep.
One of the doors of the room above opened, looking like a teenage boy coming out of the room while yawning and raising both hands.
“Ayo Farhan fast wudhu, soon adzan. So wake up your brother,” Daddy's orders.
“Iya, Dad,” replied Farhan while sleepy he knocked on his sister's room door.
“Aa. It's noon.”
The sound of people waking up from the room,
“Iya.”
The connecting door with the house next door is open, a young man who has been wearing a sarong, a cocoa shirt and a kopeyah walk while dragging his feet and sitting at the table
eat with your head on the dining table.
“What time are you sleeping? I want the dawn Adhan still sleepy,” asked Bu Tiara to his nephew Fadlan.
“No idea, Bi sleep what time. Train lots of college assignments,” replied Fadlan while sleeping on the table.
“So don't know also dong who brings this much food?”
Fadlan immediately woke up from his sleep,
“Hah…. Food ????Where, Bi????" Fadlan immediately woke up from sleep.
“This, who brought it?” Bu Tiara showed me many parcels on the table.
“From Bu Poppy, Mah,” replied Budi who just came down the stairs and approached the dining table and sipped a glass of water.
“Bu Poppy?” You were last night at Miss Poppy's house?” asked Bu Tiara in full
inquiringly.
“Not intentionally, Mah. Time .....”
Suddenly we heard the sound of dawn.
“We have been to the mosque first, the story continues later,” said Mr. Aep while walking to the mosque followed by 3 handsome young men behind him.
