Chokes

"Well, it smells good!" Alika inhales the aroma of cooking that comes from the kitchen. With a face that had not been rinsed by the water and still wearing sleeping clothes alika approached her grandmother who was cooking.

"What's cooking, grandma? It's still dawn." Ask Alika while taking a glass of water.

"Grandma is cooking shrimp balado, den adnan's favorite." Her legit. Grandma looks exhausted. However, it still remains eager to finish the work it has done from 4am.

Alika wants to help her grandmother. But, he has not performed the dawn prayer.

"Break up prayer first, son. You can help grandma." Said the grandmother.

"Yes, grandma." Alika also went to the bathroom to take ablution. Then he performed morning prayers in his room.

Not until 20 minutes is done. Then, go back to the kitchen to help her grandmother.

Now he looks like he's cooking another meal. Alika volunteered so that she would make it. Tempe favorite seasoning bu lyla to be made by alika.

The first time Alika makes food for people who are already good at her. She was very nervous and was afraid her cooking was not tasty. Even so, he cannot give up.

Grandma Alika was happy to see her favorite granddaughter was willing to help herself. He looked at Alika with a look of hope so that he got a good man who will be his life companion later.

He did not want to demand much of it. Because he is aware that his self cannot provide a decent life like people in general.

Alika is still a teenager. He has to carry the burden of adults. Alika has to split her time for school and work to help herself.

'May one day you meet a man who can make you happy forever. I'm sorry son, for not being able to make your life comfortable and easy. Grandma, it's just old people who can only trouble you.' Deep down he could not bear to see his granddaughter had to live like this.

"Mom, why do you daydream? That's the fish so

charred." Alika tried to resuscitate the grandmother from her daydream.

"Astagfirullohaladzim.." His grandmother was surprised to find a fish that was already charred.

He quickly turned off the stove that was burning.

"Grandmother, what's your mind?" Alika held both of her grandmother's shoulders.

Although her grandmother did not think about Alika's mother. He confirmed his question. Because he did not want his grandson to know what he was thinking.

"Son, did you make the tempe?" Ask her while checking alika's work.

"It's grandma, stay sauteed. The seasoning's been blended too." Alika.

His grandmother replaced the old fish frying pan with a clean frying pan. Not to forget he also put enough cooking oil. And lastly add the seasoning along with tempe that has been diced by alika.

"Let alika continue." Alika tries to take over her grandmother's duties.

"No, let's just granny. You better take a shower because soon we'll be going to Miss Lyla's house. Anyway, all the cooking's almost done." Said her. At that time, Alika directly obeyed the orders of her grandmother.

After everything is ready. The two of them immediately set off for the house of Miss Lyla. The second is a plastic bag that contains food.

"Son, keep it on the dinner table. If the fish keep it in the refrigerator first. Later if bu lola wakes up grandma will fry the fish." Said the grandmother.

"Yes, grandma." Alika keeps her according to what her grandmother ordered.

"Before going help grandma make mango juice mixed with yogurt, yes. About her son, lyla likes to drink it every morning. But, don't use ice." Because he was busy preparing a container that will be used later for food.his grandmother asked for help to make the favorite juice of children bu lyla.

"Good grandma." Alika rushed to the place where the materials were stored.

They are finally busy with their respective duties. After finishing alika pampit to go to school. He was wearing a uniform and bringing school supplies from home.

Just as Alika was about to get out of the place. Adnan who is the son of ma'am Lyla saw her. She watched alika silently from above the balcony of her house.
