LOVED MY STEPFATHER

TRYING TO OPEN THE HEART

The dawn has begun to peek behind the clouds. The moonlight is still shining brightly. The rest of the rays are still clearly visible giving the dark light of the still quiet nature. Not all are awake and awake from their sleep. The blanket was still attached in his body. But different from Sinta who was awake from her sleep. He woke up early to make food for Bang Radit. Sinta wants to give her special food. Nasi uuk is equipped with its side dishes. Sinta has made the concept to make anything.

Sinta was already busy opening the fridge. There Sinta makes sure there is still any stock. The housekeeper's aunt at Grandma's house hasn't come out of her room yet. And also Grandma Wati was seen still in her room. Sinta steals the start to make breakfast as well for them, and sets aside also for Bang Radit.

Sinta is very much in hiding to make a special meal for Bang Radit. Not realizing it, Sinta just smiled to herself. Especially when reading a reply from Bang Radit who was just opened by Sinta after opening her eyes alias waking up from her sleep.

The rice is ready. Sinta is now starting to make some of her side dishes. Sinta is just starting to learn to cook by looking at some recipes and how to cook them on social media. Added by learning to cook with Grandma Wati.

After a few hours, Sinta had finally finished her cooking. Some had Sinta prepared on the dining table and some Sinta prepared for Bang Radit to be taken later when he went to campus and stopped by briefly to the branch office of the student organization.

Sinta returned to her room and dropped her body on her bed. Sinta re-opened her phone screen and saw her reply from Bang Radit for her.

📱📲 "What time to branch office of student organization? But today I'm not there anymore, Sinta. What's the need anyway? Do you miss me, huh?" chat messages from Bang Radit.

📱📲 "Oh again not in the branch office of student organizations well? Yes already! 😔." reply chat message Sinta.

📱📲 " Hi what's up? But I haven't been able to go anywhere. Sorry, Sinta! Actually I'm not feeling well anymore." Radit chatted.

📱📲 "Loh brother sick what? Why didn't you tell me my brother was sick? 😌. Then later before I go to college, I stop by your brother's house, deh." chat Sinta.

📱📲 " Really? Okay, I'm waiting, Dad!😘" chat messages Radit.

Sinta smilingly read reply chat message from bang Radit. Sinta rushed to the bathroom and began flushing her body with a shower. This morning Sinta was very excited to climb this day full of joy.

Sinta was already sitting at the dining table together with Wati's grandmother and also the household assistant in the house. They had breakfast with Sinta. Grandma Wati was so greedy to enjoy the cuisine of her grandson.

" From the results of your cooking, it seems you are very ready if you have to marry and become a wife. Grandma would love to have a great-granddaughter of mine." said Grandma Wati.

" Granny, I don't want to get married soon." said Sinta.

" why? If you have found a man who is responsible and loves you sincerely, there is no need to delay anymore" said Wati's grandmother.

" Granny, I'm still in college and after college I want to focus on working and enjoying being a girl first. If I get married, I have to follow what my husband says, then get pregnant and take care of my children and home. Well like her the world is getting narrower when you are married and have a husband" said Sinta.

" That's because you haven't found the man who asked you to get married. And one more thing, you may not have been exposed to the goddess of romance aka the arrow of love. Try you've fallen in love, surely you will be different to talk about it." said Grandma Wati.

"Ah grandma! Even though I'm in love, I don't want to rush into marriage. I'll enjoy dating first, Grandma." said Sinta.

" Well, be careful if you're dating, Sinta. Grandma doesn't want you to go crazy." said Grandma Wati.

" No grandma!" say Sinta with complete confidence.

" good! You must continue to maintain your pride and honor until you get married. The offerings are all for your husband later." said Grandma Wati. Sinta was saddened by her grandmother's words. Sinta was silent while finishing her meal.

" Grandma said, I should have given everything to my husband. I even gave it to Om Mukid. He has opened this seal. What about my husband?" I thought Sinta was sad to remember that.

Sinta has now arrived at Bang Radit's house. The food that has been prepared for Bang Radit has been brought. Arriving in front of the house, it just so happened that Radit's mama, Pomegranate's mama was cleaning the yard. Mama Pomegranate who knew Sinta's arrival, immediately welcomed her warmly.

" Love! Tumben early in the morning to aunt's house? Hey, what the hell is this?" said Mama Pomegranate with friendly and full of joy. Sinta handed over the tupperware containing the results of her cooking this morning.

" This is for aunt and also Bang Radit" said Sinta. Mama Pomegranate receives tupperware from Sinta.

" Come on, come on in! Oh yeah, Radit's still in his room. Yesterday Radit had a high fever and his head was dizzy. Today he said he was light, but still lemes his body. That's what Radit said." explained Mama Pomegranate.

" What do you want to drink?" ask mama Pomegranate.

" No, aunt! Um I just want to go straight to campus" said Sinta.

" What's the rush anyway?" ask mama Pomegranate.

" Sorry aunt, there is a lecture this morning." said Sinta. Sinta stood up from her seat and greeted the pomegranate.

" Thank you, Sinta! Tomorrow the tupperware will fill with others well." said mama Pomegranate.

" No need, auntie!" said Sinta. Mama Pomegranate just smiled.

" It's okay, your grandmother and aunt are also used to exchange dishes." said mama Pomegranate.

Sinta leaves Radit's house with his matic motorbike to the campus. There's a lecture this morning. Although he did not have time to meet Radit, Sinta was happy enough to deliver the results of his cooking to the Radit family. At least Radit will be tasting the food that Sinta brought.

" What, Sinta has come here? Ooh mama! Mama, why didn't you tell her to go up to my room? He must be sad not to be able to see me." said Radit with a disappointed expression.

" Radit, Sinta had a lecture this morning, so hurry. Mama did not offer Sinta to visit you." said Mama Pomegranate.

" Yes, where is the rice made by Sinta?" radit asked while taking the plate that had been in the hands of Mama Pomegranate. Mama Pomegranate shook her head.

" Cie. cie.. My mother's son fell in love apparently. Uh, but Sinta's good. He is also good at cooking. Mama likes girls who cook well." said Mama Pomegranate. Radit remains indifferent to his mama's babble. He was busy eating food from Sinta's cooking. The girl who these few days made him miss.
