Miss Yeti is No Ordinary PSK

Dinner in the Village

Tok tok!

Tok tok!

"Yes a minute!"

From inside the house, there was a voice mbok Minah who said to wait, for those who came to her house.

Yati's car, which stopped in front of Mbok Minah's house, was not heard from inside. Because the car does not sound loudly, and mbok Minah, also has somewhat impaired hearing.

Cleks!

The door opened, Mbok Minah emerged from inside the house.

"O Allah is Nduk! You know. Kirain who was visiting last night, just finished magrib."

Mbok Minah was shocked. He did not expect that, Yati who came to his house. He had no news, if his grandson was going home.

He also had no news from Yati, about his mother who is now dead.

"Lho, your mother dhi? jare arep was invited muleh to the village," asked Mbok Minah, asking about the whereabouts of his mother Yati. Her real mother Yati.

But Yati did not immediately answer the question from mbok Minah. He just smiled and asked with joking intent. "I wasn't told to go into this house, Mbok?"

"Eh, uh. Come on in!"

Mbok Minah became nervous, because they were both still standing at the door, and had not yet entered the house.

Yati also smiled at the answer from Minah, who looked nervous, because she forgot to invite him into the house. He immediately embraces Minah mbok, once it has entered along with Minah mbok.

"Sorry Mbok. Sorry."

Only an apology can Yati say. And this makes mbok Minah confused.

"Lenggah dikah, (sit first) What's wrong? I'm sorry" asked Mbok Minah, who was still confused by what her grandson, who had just come from the city, said.

Yati releases her hug on Minah's mbok. He followed what Mbok Minah said, leading him to sit down first.

Yati sobbed herself, even though she did not want to show tears to Minah's mom.

But her tears flowed by themselves, without her being able to hold back.

Mbok Minah just patted the back of her grandson's hand, without saying anything. She wanted, that granddaughter to stop crying by herself, because if she asked or asked Yati not to cry anymore, she said, it was precisely his grandson who would sob even more with his tears flowing even more.

After a while later, Yati's cries and tears gradually stopped. Only a small sobbing sounded, with his efforts Yati, who wanted to immediately stop herself.

Because it was more relieved when finished crying, Yati can only talk to Mbok Minah well.

She told me about her mother's circumstances, and what happened in Singapore there, as she waited for her mother yesterday.

Only in Minah, Yati can tell you about anything, without anything covered up. Because only on Mbok Minah too, Yati believes, that mbok Minah accepts herself as she is without any conditions.

Mbok Minah is the only person, whom Yati has believed all along. No Mr. Akihiko, miss Marisa, or Mr. Andre, who has brought his heart. All of them, just know if Yati is okay. Never felt sadness, or complaints.

But of course not to mbok Minah. He was the first person, who would know how Yati felt.

Sadness and disappointment, as well as the taste of what is being felt by his grandson, mbok Minah will certainly know, without having Yati say it first.

Because mbok Minah too, who has been taking care of Yati since childhood. So he was very understanding, with what Yati felt at the moment.

After the story, Yati came back crying. Moreover, from yesterday-yesterday, the sadness and sorrow he experienced.

Starting from the fact about his marriage and separation with Mr. Ginting. The circumstances of his mother he had just known. And what about after his mother, after that.

With the death of Miss Marisa.

Mbok Minah knows, Yati needs time to rest and calm himself.

"Now, you take a shower first. Prepare the food first. After that, we eat together."

Yati nodded in agreement with the words of Minah mbok. He stood up from his seat, along with Mbok Minah.

The two of them, walking in different directions. Yati went into her own room, before going to take a shower. While Mbok Minah, walking towards the kitchen. Prepare food for both of them.

*****

News of Yati's return soon spread to some close neighbors. Moreover, they also saw a nice car, which Yati used to bring back to the village.

Some neighbors, come to visit Mbok Minah's house. They all wanted to know how his grandson was doing.

There were also those who intended to ask Yati for help, in order to find a job in the city. Just like Yati used to do, when helping Bu Lek, whose husband is lazy to work.

"Yati just came. She just took a shower. How about you guys come in the morning. He needs to rest too" said Mbok Minah, who objected to their arrival. Those neighbors.

Actually, Mbok Minah was happy, they all came, just like usual, if Yati came back to the village.

But because at this time Yati's heart is not fine, so very forced, mbok Minah asked her neighbors to go home first.

"But say the same Yati yes Mbok. We're coming tonight" said one of them.

"Yes-yes. I'll tell him later. Not absent anyway. hehehe.." sahut mbok Minah, while chuckling small. Because he knew what his neighbor meant.

"Haha... Mbok Minah could have," said one of them again.

But because they did not want to if mbok Minah drove out violently, they all obeyed and paid their way home.

"Yes already. We go home first, Mbok. Tomorrow we come here again."

"Tuk riyen Njeh Mbok."

"Tak melu kundur mawon nek ngoten."

Mbok Minah just nodded, when the neighbors were saying goodbye to go home first.

He was relieved when the door to his house closed.

After dealing with some of his neighbors, Mbok Minah returned to the kitchen, to finish all the cooking work she had just stayed.

Yati came out of the bathroom. He inhaled the aroma of cooking prepared by Mbok Minah.

"Hemmm.. always delicious."

"Hehehe. Come sit. We'll eat after everything's done."

Soon, the two, both of them, sat down, enjoying the finished meal.

Voraciously, Yati eat these foods, because it has long not enjoyed the same food as cooked by Mbok Minah.

Mbok Minah also ate well. Because there are friends, to enjoy the food he cooks.

Especially when he saw Yati who was eating voraciously. Mbok Minah, of course, was even more pleased in her heart.

It was a sign that, Yati was not affected by the city, because he still wanted to eat the village food, which he cooked simply.

"Eh, this is the rice cracker, forgot piye to Nduk."

Mbok Minah took the rice crackers, from inside the big jars, specifically for the crackers she used to make herself.

He handed some of the crackers over to Yati, as a dinner companion.
