“Hai-hai, Auntie take what,”
Argantara and Shelina's chat is forced to stop as Tina comes along with the housekeeper. Tina carried the food in a bowl that Shelina did not yet know what kind of food it was. While the housekeeper called Aunt brought drinking water.
“Well so be it. Happy to enjoy yes,”
“Yes Allah, sorry to take care of ya, Auntie. Thanks a lot, but Auntie does not need to bother like this, I was allowed to come here aja already very happy,”
“Then yes prospective ghosts are not allowed here and do not eat anything. Yes, please enjoy it, Auntie and Aunt step aside first. There's still work to do,”
Shelina immediately stood up and pulled slowly the waist of the floral dress she wore to improve her appearance after sitting.
“Eh where are you going?”
“Bantuin Aunty Sama Aunty,”
“Oh no, you can't help anything. Mending now you eat only, do not bother helping,”
“Tan, I can help-help work at home,”
“Iya Aunty tau, Darling. But Auntie does not want you to help any of this work in the kitchen. Mending yes, now you eat her pempek. Aunty wants to go to the kitchen again with Aunt because there is still an immature,”
Let's hear Auntie say, Shel. Don't be stubborn. Sit down now and eat the same Arga,”
“Arga you temenin Shelina eat here!”
“Iya, Mother. Can you eat this? Not only cement doang ‘kan?”
“Tany same wall,”
Argantara heard his mother's reply. He just wanted to make sure. Perhaps her Mama just wanted her to accompany Shelina without eating too.
“Look ‘can there be two servings there? Yesterday you did not Mama kasih?”
Argantara immediately looked at the table and he chuckled. He realized there were two bowls. He immediately chuckled “Sorry just realized, Ma. Thanks yes, Ma,”
“Yes you eat with Shelina here, do not allow Shelina anywhere yes,”
“Siap, Ma,”
Tina pressed down on Shelina's shoulders so that Shelina sat back in her place while she stared firmly at Shelina.
“Even so do not need to do anything,” he said gently but firmly.
“Still a lot, Aunt,”
“Mama you are so good. I don't even want to know. Come-come-given food time,”
“Yes guests are like that, Shel. Where there are guests are told to clean the new house fed. Where's the rule like that? Guests ‘kan emang should be well served,”
“Ya—-iya anyway, but very good Mama you. I'm not feeling good,”
“Udah don't have to think about it. Didn't you hear what I said? You have to eat now, do not go anywhere, try to help, and do not ever think that you tuh ngerepotin. Understand no?”
Shelina nodded her head. Then He received the bowl which Argantara extended to him.
“Come to eat,”
“Still yes,”
They both ate together and in the first feed Shelina was immediately made to fall in love with a typical Palembang buata Tina meal that tastes really delicious according to her taste
“Enak really pempeknya geez,”
“Iya emang nyokap never fail if about mass, anything that is held must taste good,”
“I'm confused how are the tips to cook a good one? I learned from Mama can't be as good as Mama, and I'm sure that if I learn from your Mama, it won't be as good as your Mama's, too,”
“Could be sure, just not yet the time to be as good as them. I'm sure you can,”
“Aamiin, but it is difficult to be as good as Mama's cooking, and I am sure it will be difficult also if you want to enjoy the cuisine of Aunt Tina. We are lucky children who can enjoy amazing mama's cooking. Out there many who want Mama's cooking but because one thing and another finally can not,”
“Kok lo so upset gini suddenly?”
“Iya suddenly I think it's the same people outside the same who are not as lucky as we can enjoy the delicious cuisine Mama,”
“Yes we're luckier than them,”
“I always pray that I can enjoy Mama's cooking as long as possible, may Mama be given continued health and longevity so I can enjoy Mama's cooking still long, long time, if I can get old. But in hindsight it might be very difficult times yes because if I am old oromatis Mama I am very old,”
“Same prayers for me too,”
“Sure dong, we have to doain good for parents,”
“Yes because we will be parents too,” replied Argantara while blinking one of his eyes and smilingly looking at Shelina.
“Oh yes actually anyone wants me—eh me. Jeez just realized still like to laugh yes me her. There's actually something I want to talk to you about, Shel,”
