At four o'clock in the morning, Vivi woke up with enthusiasm.He immediately began to prepare the ingredients of his cooking.While the spices he had prepared last night.This is his first day opening warteg back after his mother died.
He cut vegetables slowly.Memories while selling with his mother and brother filled his mind.
After all the ingredients were sorted out he started cooking.Memories of his childhood continued to fill his mind.
The clock shows at 06:00 am.Food for sale is finished he cooked.Continue cleaning the house and place to sell.He does it while playing music to add to his spirit of cleaning.
After finishing, he took a bath.This morning he used plain clothes.His face was coated with a little powder and a little lipstick scratches on his lips.
He sat in a chair while waiting for the buyer.Waiting for 30 minutes, finally there was also a stop by.A man about in his 40s in neat clothes, like a teacher approached him.
"Son, mix one yah.Telornya two."He said then sat down on the dining table chair.
"Well sir, just a moment, sir."Vivi said kindly and gently.
While waiting for Vivi to prepare the order, the man was engrossed in playing his phone.
"You work here?"Ask the man suddenly.
"This sir."Said Vivi who happened to have finished making food for him.He served food with a little nervousness.
"I'm selling here now sir."Further.
"Ohhh...Kirain was Siska's mom's worker."
Ms. Siska is the contractual owner of Vivi's house during Vivi's stay in Palembang.
"Not sir."The answer was a nervous smile.
"Where is Trus bu Siska now?I've been a customer for a long time, and he's been selling for a month, he's not telling me anything about this either."
"Bu Siska has moved sir.Less knows where he lives now."
"Oh that's it."The father nodded his head.
The man began to taste Vivi.Vivi cuisine walking slowly towards his seat where he waited for the buyer earlier.
Glanced at his customers by squinting his eyes.See how the customer reacts when eating his cooking.Newly eat three mouthfuls, the man put his spoon, then drink and wipe his mouth with a tisue.
"How many brothers?"Ask later.
"Thirteen thousand sir!"Vivi felt bad.
The man gave fifteen thousand.
"The return you take aja.Learn cook again well let the customer is not deterred come."The words were heartbreaking to Vivi.That means Vivi's cooking is really bad.
"Sorry sir if you disappoint.The next day will not be like this again".
"Yes.excite!"He said as he passed from in front of Vivi.
Shortly thereafter, a mother with her child came.The mother who will take her child to school.
"Now you're the one who's contracted here?"Ask the mother.
"Eum...Actually this is my parents' house ma'am.Kemarin-Yesterday I visited so his house was contracted first."
"Dad mom.Sebentar".Vivi's voice is a little awkward.
"It's mom!"Vivi said after a while.
"Thank you!"Answer with a flat face.
Then the two ate the food Vivi served.
"Tok it like gini huh?Tasteless warm, delicious.Beda bangat the same cuisine bu Siska."His protest.
Vivi looked down with teary eyes.After paying for her food, Mom and the child then left with an annoyed face.
"There are already two buyers this morning, and they both say it's not good?"His whisper in his heart.
Vivi mixed feelings now.Feeling bad with disappointed customers, sad with the words of customers, and also afraid to continue selling her food.Vivi sat tasting her dishes.The tasteless taste he felt on his tongue.
"Feel Siska's mom's mama's cuisine.Eat her people on like."He said he was talking to the food on his plate.
"Then Marcel and Zeky said that my cooking is the most delicious food compared to anyone's cuisine.They always praise my cooking in every mouthful.Is that my cooking is not sold?
Marcell...You should be here to me.Let's have a taste and I'm more confident.
Is this food not good because I cook while dreamy well?Means from tomorrow I have to focus on cooking time.Gearah think of this it."He said calm himself.
...****************...
"Oh regional children have returned to this old family business?"There was a woman's voice breaking the silence.Vivi glanced towards the arrival of the voice.There was a Mariana ma'am who was known in the village as a person who likes to interfere with the lives of others.
Vivi did not say to the woman she hated so much.
"Living his life."His whisper in his heart.
"Cock come back again? How was it overseas?Must be destitute, yeah?"He said again.Vivi was still silent.He casually played his HP assume Miss Mariana was not there.
"Your fate will be a village forever."Continue again in an annoyed tone as there was no response from Vivi.Vivi looking at him sharply.
"Would anyone like this still be alive today?"Vivi pointed right in front of Mariana's face.
"Ohh..How dare you now, huh?"
"From the first also dare.But be quiet because there is no point in fighting crazy.But the more here it seems like it needs to be firm as well as crazy."
Ms. Mariana swung her hand and almost slapped Vivi.But Vivi directly held Ms. Mariana's hand and pushed her away.
"Mending home deh bu.Urus family mother there."
"Braveness.Was aja you well.I doain your sales ga salah.Dasar cewe cocky.ga have manners."
"Bad prayers like God's answer.If you want his prayers answered, ask for the good dong bu.And fix yourself first ma'am.Don't be busy ngurusin and hurt people's hearts."Vivi smiling adds to the emotions of Mariana.
Ms. Mariana left with a face full of anger.Vivi sat back on the chair.
"Mom,Zeky,Marcel! I'm really on my own now.How should I be?.Said crying.
"Marcels...You where?Why is there no news?My number is still a long time, never change.Why not call me?Have you also left me like Mama and Zeky?".He said he was questioning.
