Breakfast with hope

Sit at the dining table. Raden Haryo Atmojo sat first at the end of the oval table carving black-brown shiny teak, waiting for the other members to have breakfast together. The atmosphere of silence adds to the charisma of Raden Haryo Atmojo as the leader or head of a household that is reluctant and respected.

To her left Raden Ayu Tri Hapsari sits gracefully ready to serve her husband's breakfast.

To his right sits Dimas Sastro Atmojo, Retno who came later with dr Prabu directly in the resting place.

Retno was sitting next to her sister Dimas, actually Retno should be the first child to sit next to her Father.

Dimas felt guilty because Retno was not present in the family for a long time, so he occupied the usual seat in Retno since childhood.

Dimas stood up and offered his seat as a courtesy to his brother, but Retno instead let Dimas sit back.

Raden Haryo Atmojo smiled as well as Raden Ayu Tri Hapsari, seeing the behavior of his two children. Dimas who so appreciates Retno as his brother.

"Please Nak Prabu, think of it as your home." Raden Ayu Tri Hapsari smiled seeing Dr Prabu still a bit stiff.

"Thank you Mother."

Breakfast began with Raden Haryo Atmojo in the following with others, pouring their favorite drinks, after first drinking water. There are many choices of drinks to choose which one you like. Red ginger tea, milk, lemon tea, sweet tea etc.

Mbok Sum stood not far from the dining table, waiting for orders just in case the family member needed something and his help.

A happiness for Mbok Sum, can accompany the family of Raden Haryo Atmojo until his current age.

The loyalty of Mbok Sum and her husband Pakde Boyo is quite appreciated by Raden Haryo Atmojo's family, so his benefactor Raden Haryo Atmojo, all his needs are sufficient even the guarantee of his old days is also in the dependents of Raden Haryo Atmojo.

A plot of land and a house building has been donated Raden Haryo Atmojo to the family of Pakde Boyo, and all that has been conveyed to his children so that all in his knowledge, he said, also do not consider the family of Pakde Boyo others but consider his own family.

Breakfast was relaxing, but tense according to Dr Prabu. Everything is orderly and orderly but all ordinary families go through it all. Except Dr. Prabu everything is rigid.

The breakfast menu Nasi megono, is a typical culinary of Pekalongan which is delicious eaten as a breakfast menu.

Megono rice is a dish in the form of rice and vegetables megono from the rice of young jackfruit seasoned spices.

Megono rice is also good to serve with other side dishes.

There are many varieties of breakfast besides megono rice at the dining table that can be tasted in the morning.

Dr. Prabu chose from some rather unfamiliar foods in his view, without asking Retno much.

In addition to the rice megono on the table that is served may be commonly served with tempe mendoan and garang asem.

In addition to vegetables megono, there are various choices of side dishes such as rendang, eggs, chicken milk and many more.

"Mas Prabu, in addition to this megono rice, in Pekalongan there is also a good breakfast menu that must be tried, namely soto tauto, have you heard or tasted?" Retno so sparkling offer and ask dr. Prabu.

"May, I chose this fruitful soto, it looks interesting like you." Dr. Prabu whispered to Retno.

"Ish.not to talk."

"See the broth and tautya sauce is very thick and the spice is abundant so that it tastes so 'sticky' on the tongue, try yes, although it is suitable for lunch, but I like it so much in the use of breakfast as well."

Dr. Prabu nodded in agreement, with his breakfast menu choice.

"It may seem strange to the first to eat, but will enjoy it for a long time too." Retno's mother smiled to see her daughter introduce her favorite food.

"Whoever if in Bandung or Tasikmalaya lontong vegetable heee..."

"Yes." Yeah."

But if the vegetable meat is not there is pure vegetable meat just like lontong, but soto tauto is meat that the texture of the meat is tender and soft, the more delicious eaten with miso or boiled vermicelli."

Dr. Prabu tasted what became Retno's favorite.

"Hemght..enak too,"

"In addition to savory soto tauto sauce a little fresh sweet sour, Soto tauto can choose topping meat and offal or mix kayak gini nih Mas." Retno showed the food in front of her with separate containers.

"Enough first, let later add deh." Dr. Prabu prevents Retno from taking it for herself a lot.

"Dear enough, I'll taste everything thanks."

Raden Haryo Atmojo and Raden Ayu Tri Hapsari smiled. Seeing her daughter so busy offering all the food to her guests, to the point that she forgot to take her share of the food.

After everything takes its share according to the taste of each there is rice megono and also there is rice soto tauto.

They started to enjoy their breakfast.

"How's your family doing, Nak Prabu?" raden Haryo Atmojo's voice begins a question on the sidelines of his feed. His voice was heavy and charismatic.

"All is well Alhamdulillah Romo, the same father My mother sends greetings to the family here."

"Waalaikum salaam, thank God that everything is healthy, the greeting is received."

Dr Prabu stopped for a while to enjoy his new breakfast menu. All the service members listened, none of them interjected before the Father finished speaking.

"Romo apologizes to Nak Prabu's family, for the attitude of Romo who a few years ago, Romo did not intend to offend the Prabu Nak family, but Romo wants to convey Romo's desire as a parent to his own daughter."

All quiet, just the sound of a spoon clashing against a plate or sip of a drink as well as a glass in carefully stored on the dining table.

"Parent expectations all want the best for their children, want to follow the wishes of their parents, but in reality it is not the best."

Romo took a sip of his drink and looked at his beautiful daughter, alternating at Dr. Prabu who slightly lowered his head, then turned to his youngest son Dimas Sastro Atmojo and smiled as he continued to speak.

"Romo to forget, if the children of Rome all Ajeng the same Dimas did not live in a cage also 24 hours in supervision and rules Romo. They're a school out there, getting to know different walks of life, cultures and influences beyond the other sciences."

"Yes Romo." Dr. Prabu nodded his head assuringly, Retno lowered her head feeling like she was the object of conversation.

"Mistakes for Romo, manage their lives, and that realization comes when Ajeng protests against Romo, moves to college and does not want to go home, survive without charge from Romo, and then they will not go home, the family hopes Retno gives up and goes home. But his desire was so strong that he was finally reunited with Nak Prabu."

Dr. Prabu smiled also Raden Ayu Tri Hapsari also Dimas. Retno blushed red face embarrassed too even in front of her own family.

"Fortunately You are Nak Prabu, and Romo left from now on Ajeng on Nak Prabu's shoulders, he said, accompany the happy steps of Ajeng like Romo who always want to give happiness and smiles on the faces of those who love Romo."

"Thank God Romo, thank you for your trust, hopefully I can be a person who can make Ajeng happy throughout my life." Dr. Prabu said stammeringly.

"Yes, hopefully. When will Nak Prabu propose to Ajeng to be your wife?"

"A-i? now it's Romo"

"Haaaaa..pada proposing to Father's son at the dinner table? wait till night, let there be witnesses from the Romo family."

"I-iya Romo, I mean today as well." Dr. Prabu was so embarrassed by his spirit.

"Mom, prepare a proposal event later tonight, Dimas invite Kangjeng's relatives Mother and Father for the show later."

"Yes, Romo." Dimas answered with a happy look on his face.

"Ajeng, is this what you want? Father has granted, forgive this Father of yours, feels Romo wants to make amends for what Romo has done."

Retno, who had finished her breakfast, rose to kiss her Father's cheek and embraced affectionately, also to her mother and lastly to her sister Dimas.

Dr. Prabu slightly pouted because he was not part of the hug, Retno smiled and sat back in his place.
