The Sunday night they were waiting for arrived. Working eight hours a day makes them even more excited about spending their Sunday nights together.


"You're allowed your husband to join us?" Amanda collects her friends' money to buy tickets to watch.


"Once you can!"


"What about your kids?"


"Together with his father."


"Could you?"


"My husband's used to helping with the kids and also helping with the house cleaning."


"Wow! Dream husband."


"Hey! Not to double up!"


They laugh laugh.


"That's just a sewot!"


"Now this is if not careful. Friends eat friends. Fence eat plants..."


"Stop! Stopit! Your husband is not a copier so don't be afraid to double down. Nor are we friends who don't know which boundaries are right and wrong."


"You're not afraid of your boyfriend cheating on you? Sunday night not with him?"


"Loyalty and a mate cannot be forced."


"How wise!"


"That's a reality no one can deny."


"Wisdom is a reality that must be accepted cheerfully."


"So, this is it, friends. Patient man, his ass is wide!"


They're all chuckling.


Finish watching. They were looking for goat fried rice around the mall.


"I'm gonna eat goat fried rice."


"Hmm, could be your idea. You're not cravings, are you?"


"No. The aroma of goat fried rice as if smelled and imagined delicious. Dancing in my mind."


They went on foot and ordered fried rice sold by the side of the road inside the tent.


Five pieces of warm fresh tea and five dishes of spicy goat fried rice.


"What do you think of the movie?"


"The ending is curious."


"It's called open ending."


"Sokay know!"


"Hell up!"


"I think the story can be made to connect."


"It's probably like that."


"Yeah!"


They walked together towards the rented house of Ratih.


"My room is one. Did we sleep in the room?"


"Do you have a folding mattress?"


"Yes, ada. I'll prepare a folding mattress if anyone wants to stay."


"How about karaoke before going to bed in the living room that seems to also double the living room?"


"Can. Let me light the ac. How do we all sleep in the living room?"


"Can!"


Ratih roll out a folding mattress, cushion, bolster and also blanket.


They continued karaoke until they fell asleep in front of the television with the mic lying down.


The room was deliberately made soundproof so as not to disturb the neighbors.


Ratih woke up at four in the morning. He heads to the kitchen making fried rice for his new friends.


Instant fried rice seasoning, shallots, white and red chili that have been ground and stored in containers in the refrigerator. Adding powdered pepper and chili slices.


Slicing carrots, cabbage, mustard greens and chives for vegetables.


Slicing meatballs and sausages to add a complement to his fried rice while trying to remember the youtube he watched.


Break the egg and after it becomes scrambled egg. Lifting the eggs and moving them to the container.


Then saute the herbs and cayenne pepper, meatballs and sliced sausage. Then insert the soy sauce put the rice sprinkle the mushroom broth and stir the rice evenly.


Fried rice is less than perfect without the accompanying eggs. Five eggs.


Rice is printed into a small bowl and given a plucked egg on top. Sliced tomatoes and cucumbers as the final touch.


Ratih also made tea. Make five glasses of warm sweet tea.


"You awake? Is it dawn?" Sherly opened her eyes smelling the smell of cooking.


"Not yet."


"What are you doing?"


"Make fried rice for all of us breakfast."


"You smell your cooking flirting with my stomach!"


Practice laughing, "If you want to eat, go ahead. It's all ripe."


Later, after dawn prayers. We're in a congregation."


"Whatever!"


One by one they woke up when they heard the dawn. Brush their teeth and prepare to the mosque near the rented house of Ratih which is only two houses apart.


After the mosque. They ate together while chatting and joking.


"What if after we eat we walk in the morning?"


"Agreed!!!" They answered almost simultaneously.


"I'm so lazy to exercise if I don't congregate like this."


"Reason!"
