Dita walked quickly offset El who ran slowly, the streets on Sunday morning were indeed very crowded. Especially those heading to the market. Not only pedestrians who pass by, but bikers, rickshaws, and also ojek are also very crowded.
All have the same goal, namely to the badog market. Where there are some of them who become buyers, there are also some of them who become traders.
All focus on their respective affairs, some are looking for food, some are selling food. Dita and El arrived at the badog market after running slowly for 20 minutes, of course through a breakthrough road so as not to twist too much.
Even though the morning fog is still thick and the sun has not appeared, but the atmosphere in the badog market is so crowded. El stared in amazement at the bustling and noisy atmosphere in the market that used its perfunctory lighting.
" Aunty Dita, it turns out that the market is more crowded than the mall, look at the seller, even to the extent that it does not look grobogan trading because it is in a tangle by small children and even adults", El pointed at the srabi cake seller whose buyers were crowded and were waiting for their orders to mature.
" Will El buy that?, we start from the most end of the seller how?", asked Dita offers first buy serabi. Because the seller of serabi mangkal in the most marginal position.
" Want, want aunty, it looks good", El inhales the savory aroma of the serabi that is being taken from a small frying pan by the serabi seller, then the serabi seller put the new dough in the same pan after applying the oil using a kind of small brush made from coconut fibers. Like white porridge, then poured again like chocolate porridge on it. The savory aroma returned to smell making El seem to want to taste it immediately.
" Okay we order first", Dita immediately queued at the seller serabi.
" Mbah, buy the 10 grand shackles".
The serabi seller who was an old granny nodded, "patience is beautiful, this is for this Mas first, have been waiting since".
Dita nodded in understanding.
After waiting for about 10 minutes, Dita now get the serabi she ordered. El enjoyed waiting in line for the serabi, while watching the seller make the serabi very deftly, let alone the savory aroma every time the serabi seller took the ripe serabi and poured back the dough, especially the savory aroma, there is a thrill of pleasure waiting until their order is ready.
" Have got the first snack, in the meal later in a while, El. because it is still hot, waiting a bit cold, so that his mouth does not burn. After this we buy what else, it's over there there is cilor (beef drawer), does El want?".
Again El looked at the seller shown by Dita, there were also many small children waiting in line. El thinks, every buyer here is all crowded, surely the food and snacks here are delicious. El agreed too.
" Bang cilor his two, five thousand yes bang, one use sweet corn flavor, one spicy balado", said Dita ordered his second snack.
" Okay mba, wait a while", replied the cilor seller.
Soon enough cilor matures, stay in Eri powder sow and flavoring according to the tastes of buyers. Dita spiked her color with a lot of balado powder and chili powder, while Gita was only given sweet corn powder and flavoring.
" Have got two snacks, now what else do you want?, does El want breakfast first?, this morning did eat the rice a long time ago, Aunt Dita is also a very lager, too, how about we eat chicken porridge first?". El seemed to shake his head, El was still feeling full because he had eaten, but because Dita was hungry, they both finally remained in the tent of the chicken porridge seller.
Dita ordered one serving for herself, and half a serving for El.
" Come El darling.try to taste first, later if you still do not like, let Aunt Dita spent, Aunt's stomach still fit to accommodate half a portion of this delicious chicken porridge", Dita kept asking El to taste the chicken porridge from the bowl in front of her.
El did seem reluctant to eat the chicken porridge in front of him, but when tasting in the first feed, it turns out the chicken porridge he ate was very tasty and delicious. I don't know what the difference is with the one in his school cafeteria, sometimes during lunch break El buy chicken porridge in the school cafeteria, but not as good as the chicken porridge he is eating right now.
" How?, good is it...?", Dita again put a spoon filled with chicken porridge into her mouth.
El did the same thing until the chicken porridge in his bowl was eaten clean.
Dita chuckles because El refused to eat breakfast, but after tasting even the chicken porridge runs out first.
" Want again?", El seems to still look at his porridge bowl that lives a little, like still want to add again.
" Has Aunt Dita not finished her chicken porridge?, then let El spend it".
The words made Dita laugh. " Bang half a serving again use soy sauce alone", muttered Dita on the chicken porridge seller.
The second bowl was already in front of El, El again ate chicken porridge greedily, until the sound of belching because El was full.
" Are you full?".
El nodded shyly, initially refusing to eat breakfast, but eventually finished two bowls of chicken porridge, although it was actually just a bowl because the portions were half-and-half.
" The porridge has a Aunt that has been given sambal, so pedes, if El eat porridge has a Aunt guaranteed El does not like, so mending Aunt pesenin again, new. Aunty thought it would not run out, but it turns out El pinter really so", praise Dita, so that El forgot his shame.
" It's full, it must make the road so difficult, we sit in the park that is across the road there is El, there's a little kid's playground too, there's swings, there's slides, there's seesaws too. Does El want us to go there first?", asked Dita for approval.
Currently his stomach is full, not to mention the day is still quite early, only 7 o'clock. Want to go home baby, soon there is usually free gymnastics in the front yard of the park. Tenda want to watch, and follow gymnastics as well, mumpung sunny day.
" Will El follow the morning gymnastics there?".
It sounds like some operator is doing a sound check. Dita and El came out of the tent of the chicken porridge seller after paying for the chicken porridge they ate, walking across the road to the park in front of the market.
Perhaps because of its strategic location right in front of the park, the badog market becomes very crowded every week. From 5 am, after dawn, until 10 pm, usually still crowded with visitors.
" Aunty just go if you want to participate in gymnastics, El wait while sitting here, while eating snacks that were purchased earlier" said El while staring at the package in the plastic that Dita brought.
Dita agrees and leaves El alone sitting on a park chair, enjoying her cilor. Although it was full, but the curiosity because of the aroma of cilor and serabi that continued to burst out and smell El's nose, made El curious to want to taste it.
El sat still with the eyes of Dita who continued to pay attention to him. Although while doing gymnastic movements, but Dita still focused on looking in the direction where El sat.
There was a handsome man who approached El suddenly. At that time Dita was still watching him.
" Hey handsome boy, may I meet you?, I'm a friend of your mother's, meet me, I'm Nino", Nino reached out her hand to invite El to shake hands.
El looked at Nino carefully.
" Om the mother's wedding reception, made the mother cry huh?", it turned out that time secretly El noticed them.
" Wah... child as small as you but his memory is very sharp, it seems right your guess, can Om sit here?", asked Nino who was still standing and reached out because El had not grabbed her since.
" Just sit down, this is a public place" answered El still indifferent and focused on enjoying the cilor he ate.
" Om not evil with your mother, Om also does not know why your mother cried at that time, Om apologized, do you want to be friends with Om?", again Nino invited El shaking hands.
" I'm sorry Mr. Kades, gymnastics will be finished, after this event begins, and Mr. Kades must come forward and deliver a speech for the inauguration of the construction of the badog market".
Nino nodded, "yes, I will go forward when called upon, is it okay if I wait here now?".
" Good Mr. Kades, then excuse me for starting the show".
It turned out that the one who had met Nino was one of the committee from the village who would be the host of the inauguration of the construction of the badog market.
Indeed, at this time the badog market is still very messy and not organized, because that will be built to be more neatly organized.
" So Om is an important person here?, why would Om want to be friends with El?, is it because El is the son of Bu Dila?", asked El innocently.
" If you think like that, it can also be an excuse" said Nino.
" El is not friends with parents, Om is friends with Miss Dila only, but never make Dila's mother cry again, or El will hate Om too" said El while turning his back to Nino.
" El can't talk like that to older people, must speak politely, as Ms. Dila said. Later if Miss Dila knew El like that, surely Miss Dila was disappointed".
" I'm sorry El Mas Nino, he's a kid, and he doesn't know the point".
It turned out that Dita had been there a while ago, because gymnastics was done.
" No papa Dit, just the name of the children, it's adorable to see their innocent behavior" replied Nino with a smile." It turns out you're getting bigger Dit, when I used to play at home, you were a kid, you look like you were in High School".
Nino looked at Dita who was similar to Dila when they were close.
" I'm his sister, it's not wrong if it looks the same mbak itself, Mas Nino is funny too....".
" How are you doing?, is it healthy?".
~ To Mr. Kades, time and place, we welcome....~
The voice of the host called Nino to come forward.
" Healthy Mas, sorry that Mas Nino has been called forward".
Nino nodded, "if not in a hurry to have a real chat later Dit?".
Dita nodded, of course it was not good to refuse the invitation of the father of kades, after all he was not in a hurry, but what would Mas Nino want to obrolin with him, what about Dila?.
