FROM THE HEART

Episode 4

To fill my void, I came to see my parents. The residence is not far from where I live by driving a car only takes 1 hour I can get there.

"Assalamualaikum, ma, pa." I said as I shook hands with them. They look wild looking for the whereabouts of Rendi.

"Rendi's not coming anymore, baby?" mama asked me, looking a little disappointed in her face when she saw that I was not with Rendi.

"Yes ma, he sends greetings to mama and papa, he's sorry he hasn't had time to come here, understand ma he has to get out of town there is a problem with the branch office there." I explained.

"Yes time has to be out of town every month, mama noticed for a year and a half this Rendi every month had to go out of town, she was never as busy as that." said my mama it seems like she's starting to get upset with Rendi.

"Yes ma because this year his business is on the rise, so he has to be extra diligent to work. I'm used to being left like this anyway he's gone not long, just a week." I replied.

"It's only been a week, but every month she leaves you alone." It seems like my mama is very upset with Rendi, she said, it's true that for 1 and a half years Rendi was super busy but I understand as long as her attitude doesn't change I don't feel suspicious of her.

"Ma, there's bi Rika and Mr. Ucup at home so I'm not alone" I said with a smile trying to get rid of my mother's annoyance but she was still upset.

"Oh, yes ma, today mama cook what, mama has not cooked yes, we cook together yes ma long ago Clara did not cook with mama." I said to melt the atmosphere but mama was silent still pouting.

"Pa, look at mommy her face became wrinkled like that." I glanced at papa while teasing my mama.

"Yes go ngaca there your face is getting wrinkled" said papa teasing mama so that mama does not think about Rendi continue.

"Ih.. what the hell is the same papa son." finally mama smiled again and stopped thinking about Rendi.

My mom and I started cooking in the kitchen. Today mom taught me how to make bone soup, Rendi's favorite food but I can't make it, well this time I want to learn so that my husband loves me more...

How to make bone soup version of my mother, first provide all the ingredients we need according to taste yes, most importantly the cow bone must be there😁

How to Make:

1.Cook the water until it boils.

2.Insert the bone and boil for five minutes.3.Strain the bones and remove the water.

4.Cook the water again until it boils, put the bone and seasoning.

5.Boil the meat until tender with a small fire.6.Put carrots, celery, potatoes, and chives.

7.Once mature, serve.

"Thank you mom for the recipe, later if Rendi comes Clara wants to make her ma, surely Rendi likes this is her favorite food." I said.

"Mommy's son is strange, her husband likes it but he does not know how to cook it" said mama mocked me.

"You know my beautiful mother, but now she has taught me. Cup.." I hugged my mama from behind and kissed her cheek.

"We ate lunch yuk ma stomach Clara worms had been on the yell but Clara call papa first yes, ma."

"Here call your papa." tell mama, I go to my papa.

The three of us ate together, facing this kind of atmosphere I remembered my childhood. I feel like I'm still their little daughter who used to be in their midst but I realize now Clara is an adult, Clara who now has a husband is not my mom and dad's little daughter anymore.

"You why, baby grin is not clear." asked Mama turned out to see me smiling alone.

"Clara remembered the childhood ma, at the dining table this mama and papa always nyuapin Clara eat, used to be spoiled Clara ya ma until the teenage Clara eat also had to be bribed" I said to remember my past.

"Although now Clara is an adult but Clara is still a little daughter of mama and papa, Clara wants mama bribe" said my mother.

"No need ma, shame. Clara already has a husband, Clara just misses the moments can always be with mom and dad." I said.

"When Clara misses, Clara comes to see mom and dad the door will always be open to this beautiful and spoiled mama's boy, after all, this house is also Clara's house where little Clara lived and grew up." said mama made me cry when I was late in the atmosphere. I hugged my mother tightly, I miss them so much since I got married I rarely come to see them even those who visit often see me. I felt so guilty as a child I couldn't pay more attention to them.
