Chapter 1 The Spilt Meatball Tragedy
Beautiful girl Abah Anwar and Rumini's mother, many men are crazy about the beautiful face of Elah.
The economic situation of the Elah family is simple, tends to be incapable. The house is made of rooms, and wood. With a hole here and there. When the rainy season comes, it leaks everywhere. The paint color has faded.
The state of the house of Elah did not discourage the Adam to ask for Elah.
"God, don't want to be my girlfriend, keep getting married". Adam made his intentions direct.
"Just like me. Car, house I'll buy". Hamdi also made the same point to Elah that night.
"Lied, I'm all". Oni nyolot from the back bench.
Every night that visits Elah's house a lot. They were vying to capture Elah's heart.
Enchantment is done by the Adam who visited the house Elah in the style of each there is an American, Japanese, or Chinese style. (Car, motorbike, food as a hand).
Meanwhile, of all who came, not one was able to captivate the heart of Elah. Elah's parents were confused by Elah's choice. "You know what your future husband looks like? " Abah asked Elah.
"According to Abah, all the men who came were good all of them, the good Adam, bring Abah's favorite cigarette. Others only carry foreign food on Abah's tongue with mother. Abah's foreign food can't be called it either, it's hard".
"Otherwise it's Roni... Like to bring food wrapped in brown cardboard, keep the model round on it the food there is sausage, meat, and others. Abah mah ngedenger name sausage aja strange. Where is the food from".
"That's called Pizza bah, don't know what the food comes from England, Italy what America, I don't know". Elah answered Abah's question with a smile and said, "it's funny that the abahmah, the present times do not know Pizza, many now mah in Indonesia as well, do not have to go abroad". " Oooh kirain abahmah the Roni before coming abroad first". Elah was dumbstruck by Abah's words that made no sense.
In the same sense Elah Abah has never eaten such food, we say delicious too but said Abah it does not taste good, mending cassava or taras Bogor.
Abah has a tendency towards Adam. Adam son of a rich man, his car is luxurious when playing to Abah's house as well as mothers like to buy clothes, bags for Elah are always special, in addition to clothes and bags of dolls, flowers.
Oni, Toni, Hamdi, Dani, Roni, Tino, Jaka, and others regularly visit Elah's house.
Elah did not like Adam because he was arrogant, arrogant with the wealth of his parents, Toni was too proud of his success, Oni was arrogant with the grace of his handsome, Hamdi was arrogant with many relations from among officials and national artists, Hamdi was proud of his many relations, he even said that he was also familiar with overseas artists.
While Dani, speaking is not polite, too slippery, and bring feelings (paper). Roni always prides himself on his parents' possessions, Tino always tries to vilify his rivals, and does not care about the feelings of others.
His talk was always about his favorite animals, birds with expensive prices. Not just one he said his collection of birds.

"Damn, basic".
"Sorry," the man who was not recognized by Elah apologized for spilling meatballs that were ready to be enjoyed after a long wait.
"I didn't intentionally". The man replied.
"But that's a big deal". Elah grew furious. "Just change, so two bowls of meatballs". Elah forced.
"No way, I changed one bowl, but the one that spilled was also one bowl".
"If not two bowls, here KTP or STNK or KK or whatever, later I come to your house according to the address, keep asking for change to your father and mother". Add to ride the apoplexy.
"Don't! Later I was angry at my mother and father at home, due to a bowl of meatballs KTP, KK, SIM, taken, anyways I did not have everything, at most KTP, ". In an innocent tone the man replied to Elah's anger.
"All land certificates". Instead of silence Elah even increased his negotiations.
"Wow, very bad. That's so... Boro-boro land certificate, land bowl only I do not have".
"Yes has been mopping up his meatballs, you don't know what it feels like to have a long time, the meatballs are ready at the meal eeeh, even spilled, not restless again".
"Mas, one bowl of meatballs for this woman, I'll pay for it". The man eventually relented and ordered meatballs for Elah.
"Well, from that cake!. Don't be complicated anymore". Elah came back for the second time. "You're based, it's unclear". Elah was still in a state of annoyance staring at the man who had spilled his meatballs.
"I'm sorry. I've changed". This man is indeed a geeky figure and hick. The clothes are not like men in general, short-sleeved shirts are not good, very ordinary. Trouser suit but bottom width, cutbray model. Not Levis material but ordinary cloth. Stitched simply.
Not Elah type, her figure according to Elah tacky not fashionable. The man passed by and Elah enjoyed the meatballs that had been delayed. "But it doesn't taste good". Elah keeps a fork and spoon in his meatball bowl. Not because the meat is not tasty, but because the appetite has faded. So, it's not good to eat. The meatballs in the bowl were not consumed by Elah. Then he took a sip of warm tea water, which was provided on the table, after which he went home.
On the way Elah still felt a sprain over the events of today. The distance between the meatballs and the lumyan house is far. Elah's subscription base store many buyers. Every day is always running out of stock.

Elah was pensively accompanied by her favorite cat Puti, her color was smooth white.
The rain outside is very heavy, February at the end of the date still brings rain. Mother served the bean porridge, "let the body temperature drag," Abah began to slowly eat the chicken porridge that mother made this morning. "Come on, let's eat the bean porridge!". Mother broke Elah's daydream. "Yes, Mom, it's gonna be a minute". He approached Abah and his mother and sat down beside them.
*****
It was unexpected that Elah was reunited with the geeky man at the end of the road, with cutbray pants dangling to the ground.
"The world feels narrow" Desis Elah.
