Hunting Chicken Pecel



Mmh. If he doesn't sell nights, does he only sell during the day? Chicken pecel usually sell it at night? Are there too many night rivals? If he sells during the day, does he not sell also in the morning, because he used rice nasi uduk, earlier. Does he sell breakfast too? Well, tomorrow to the office again. Look tomorrow hopefully he'll be selling breakfast too. Aska turned her car back home. I eat at home, hopefully there's something to eat.


At home, the food is finished. Ijah the cook part helper happens to keep instant noodles for emergencies.


"Well, get me noodles with eggs, vegetables, chili and meatballs."


"The taxi's over, brother."


"Yes, there is."


"Yes, Brother."


"What, what, what are you cooking?" Chris' voice came from behind.


Aska. "That's Pa, I'm hungry to eat instant noodles."


"What kind of instant mi?"


"Papa's time has never eaten?" Aska already felt Chris would try this food.


"Yet. Try it, it looks good."


"Oh, yes sir." Ijah made two for his employer.


Chris and Aska then eat together at the dinner table.


"Mmh, this delicious seasoning noodles instant, plus vegetables, eggs and .. meat possible."


"Usually in the Pa meatballs."


"Oh, so. Mmh, the minya variant must also be a lot huh?"


"Yes, it's so Pa."


"Usually in the meatballs what? A cow?"


"If Indonesians prefer cow Pa."


"Oh, so. Mmh, I have an idea for our frozen food (cold food)."


"So, what are you eating?" Reina exits the room and finds Chris eating with Aska.


"It's honey(honey), I tried instant noodles gravy, it tastes good dear."


"Oh, you've never tried?"


"Yes, I often see people eating in the office cafeteria. I thought cheap food would be bad. Uh, it turned out to be delicious. I was curious because Aska tried it. Try honey, warm in the stomach and it tastes fresh."


Reina tried the sauce. "Eh, this is spicy. Uda must reduce the spicy first, it was yesterday the ulcer relapsed. Yellow noodles also can not, this makes bloating."


"Come honey, just this once." Chris welding.


Aska finished her meal. He does not want to get involved in their fighting drama if they are fighting, because the winner always ... Mammoth. Unless Mamap kindly allows.


"It feels so good when." Chris looks a little sorry, hoping his wife gives him permission.


"Yes, but the gravy is not to drink too much."


"Oh, yeah. I'll spend it without the sauce." Chris immediately ate the rest happily.


"And the waist is also the cab." Reina looked at the chili that had been sliced in the middle of the bowl.


Chris immediately pulled the cab. He lifted his thumb while eating.


"This is the last one, right? After that, fast first."


"I love you honey, so much.(I love you baby, very.)"


Before long Aska said to go back to her apartment. Though helpless, he stepped into his room. Closing the door, putting car keys and watches on the nightstand and slamming her body on the bed.


This is what he does every day, but soon it will change when he finds Leka. Since it is already in Jakarta, the woman can appear at any time and from any direction. The only problem was, when he met her, would he be able to control the situation?


Usually, when stressed like this, he is easily hungry. Good thing to be able to eat instant noodles earlier, but tomorrow morning he must get good food so that his mood (mood) returns.


Ah it feels, only the chicken pecel sambal this afternoon can treat me. I had to eat it again so I could feel comfortable. If you think about the cuisine like the cuisine of the late Mother first while still alive. Every time I lose a ball or lose a fight with a friend, I eat the food and immediately feel comfortable. The anger went away, not knowing why.


And now looking for a favorite food as he likes like the cuisine of his mother is very difficult because at home his appetite is mostly International. Surely I, Bimbimbab, Steak, except when the Mommy cooks at home, but Reina is busy with her flower shop. His tongue does prefer Indonesian food but it is very difficult to get it, so he often hunts the food with the best taste when he is stressed or just pleasing his heart.


------------+++------------


That morning Aska woke up as usual and went to take a bath. After the morning prayer he prepared to go to work. He hunted, got off the elevator into his car and immediately headed to where the chicken pecel trader was yesterday, and it turned out.


Right, he sells breakfast too. That's why he doesn't sell nights. He got down and approached the queue. Only about 15 minutes in line, the queue in front of him dispersed. "What's wrong?"


"Rose up."


"Hhhh ...." Aska brushed her hair back with her finger. "Did it make a little?"


"It's rumored he's alone selling bang."


"Jeez, how reckless are people!"


Aska looked back at the shabby tarpaulin in front of her that was filled with shoppers eating on the spot. People are willing to jostle for breakfast on the spot, it must be amazing. The food must be good.


Aska tightens the grip. Ok, I should be able to get some food later. Any way! He's back in the car.


Leka entered the house, while carrying empty containers. He looked at Runi who was lying on a thin bed. Earlier in the morning his body was a little feverish and to be fussy was invited to take a bath so Leka had not bathed him. The woman began to wash the containers.


At 10 in the office, Aska was already getting restless. He wants to get out of the office right away, but how?


He then stomped his head while grabbing his car keys. "Oh, I'm not feeling well. I'm out to buy some medicine, okay?"


Only his best friend Zaki who was in the other corner smiled looking at him. Yes, not only this once Aska was absent for the sake of pursuing her favorite food, and the reason is always the same, so it is easy to guess where she wants to go.


Outside he immediately ran towards the elevator and waited there. 5 minutes later the Aska car was already on the road.


Leka was serving an order to take home. He lifted some fried chicken and fried catfish into a container and turned off the stove fire. Immediately he put the chicken and catfish into a package that had contained rice and fried tempeh, one-on-one and then tied it with rubber. He stacked it in 2 large plastic packs and handed it to the customer.


The customer gave up the money. "Pas yes mbak."


Leka. "Yes, thank you."


He then went into the house because he wanted to check on Runi who had not been willing to get up and fell weakly on the mattress.


Not too far away, someone called out to him. "Looks."


"The password? You're not working?" Leka twisted her body standing at the open door.


"Sorry, but I really want to eat your homemade food. If it's a little late, I can run out like this morning."


"Oh, were you in bed this morning?"


"That's how in Jakarta Leka, good food is hunted by people."


"Well, what do you want to eat?" Leka then cooks the temple order and makes a drink.


Before long, there was another buyer taking home. He also serves. After that Leka went inside the house and examined Runi. The heat had not yet come down and his face seemed to want to cry but on the ground.


"Why son, is anyone sick?"


Runi.


"Is there anything bad, mmh? Mommy makes milk?"


The little girl nodded.


Leka immediately stood up, but yet nothing Temple called her. "Looks."


The woman sighed. He's coming out soon. "What do you want?"


"Can I have more chili again?" Candi thrust her plate.


Leka took it lazily and filled it with the chili available in the container. He then returned the plate to the temple. The man accepted it but then held Leka's arm.


"You accompany me to eat dong. I was here alone."


"Candi, what the hell are you ...." Leka tried to pull his arm but Candi grasped it tighter.


"Yes at least don't go inside first. I'm alone outside, like everyone else."


"Look?"


Leka and Candi turned to a source of voice in front of her. Leka's surprised.


"What do you want to hold my wife's hand?" Aska stared at the temple sharply.


Leka immediately pulled her hand quickly.


"You too. Oh, so. If there is no husband, you can easily tempt customers under the pretext of selling, right? You want to move to Jakarta. You want to find a guy with more money, right?" Aska mocked Leka.


Leka was about to defend herself when Candi took over the conversation in annoyance. It stands. "Hey, I'm offended to hear what you said! I'm her roommate, so know she's not the girl you were talking about. Compared to you who claimed to be her husband but never there for her. What can you be proud of besides the big talk! What kind of man are you, usually only offending others!" Say the temple roughly.


Aska advanced ferociously pulled the collar of the Temple shirt with rough, but the temple was unmoved. Leka came trying to break up. She pushed her husband away.


"What a bang, he's my customer!" Shouted Leka annoyed.


Candi happy he in bela Leka. She felt that the goddess Fortuna was on her side.


Aska. "Why are you defending him? I'm your husband. Do you want to be with her so much, right?"


Leka closed her eyes for a moment. He was tired of all this. Just wait for a statement from her husband and this will all be over. "If you don't want me anymore, just divorce me Bang!" Irritated shouting.


Aska's blood was boiling. His wife, instead of defending herself, asked for a divorce from him. Even though he struggled to find it until his village did not sleep, but instead was not appreciated by the sentence of wanting a divorce. Is it that easy marriage for his wife all this time? As easy as the divorce? "Alright if that's what you want. We ...."


The sound of the crying of a child. Leka ran into the house. Aska followed him slowly. He saw a little girl being examined by his wife. The little girl cried for help in her cradle and Leka carried her. A tear fell on her tiny cheek.
