My Cold Chef's

My Cold Chef's
Rice Padang



Sabine felt weak after having to vomit every once in a while. Karl, her husband, was in the office while she was stranded in the room alone. Sabine's gestational age has stepped on three months but morning sickness is not disappearing but increasingly becoming.


"Haaaiiisshh, mending I was told by a sniper rather than vomiting like this!" nagging Sabine while eating biscuits and mint tea made by the waiter.


After marrying Karl Schumacher, Sabine moved to London and met Thara several times. Her culinary school in Dubai is still running and every month, Sabine checks while looking at her parents.


"Call Thara ah..." Sabine took her phone. Sabine and Thara's pregnancy is only three months away.


"Assalamualaikum" said Thara.


"Wa'alaikum salam. Where are you again?" ask Sabine.


"In the kitchen again prepare the ingredients to make pastry later. Why Bine?"


"What do you want to do?" ask Sabine. Who knows, you could ask for a chip.


"Lupis, klepon and cenil. I have to eat that at least twice a month" chuckled Thara, now six months pregnant.


"Mauuu!" shout Sabine. "Keep the theme of RR's what's this Week?"


"Makasa Indonesia, from Padang this Sunday There is rendang, green sambal, cassava vegetables that must ask Aksara Lewis to find, egg balado, shrimp and eggplant. Dessert the three earlier."


"I'm going to RR's now! Lapaar!"


"Is your morning sickness still bad Bine?" ask Thara.


"Still but hearing the rice Padang plus his dessert, I drool."


"Yes, I'll be here later and I'll say that Ai has an addition for you and Karl."

Karl was still checking files when his phone rang and his wife's name was there. Karl smiled broadly at who was calling and still imagined the events of last night when Sabine who led the game and made Karl increasingly fall in love with his wife.


Sabine once told her that if outside the room, she would be a graceful and honorable wife but in the room, she would be a j4l4ng to satisfy her husband. Although Karl liked it very much but the words j4l4ng for him including rough. Karl always talked about the best bed partner.


"Yes dear" said Karl.


"Honey, we're having lunch at RR's Meal yuk!" bring Sabine.


"What's the theme there now?" ask Karl.


"Fields Rice!"

Karl and Aidan could only gawk at Sabine so badly eating Padang full squad rice. Even the pregnant woman with his chuckles eat with his hands, still fortunately his feet do not stretch one like in warteg.



"What's the same about you, Karl?" asked Aidan who could only shake his head looking at his cousin like he hadn't eaten a century.


"He's a severe morning sick, Ai. So immediately he caught sight of the food he wanted" replied Karl who grimaced to see his wife eating without his jaims.


"Aaaiiii, my legs are stiff, right? Don't ask me why, this is what the orok wants!" And Sabine raised one leg on the chair while eating.


"Astaghfiullah! Cumiiiii, this isn't a warteg!" hardik Aidan's.


Karl could only cover his face embarrassed to see his wife's behavior.

"Aaahhh full!" sabine exclaimed as she rubbed her stomach which looked bloated.


Thara who followed could only be silent to see her brother-in-law who spent a serving of complete Padang rice, four klepon, two lupis and a handful of pennies.


"Heeekkk... Oopss!" Sabine burped hard enough to make everyone turn their heads judes including her husband and cousin who stared intently while Thara laughed out loud.


"Sorry... The hormones of pregnant women can't be controlled" Sabine said as she showed her stomach to the visitors of RR's Meal. Want to be angry but still his onwer cousin so the visitors understand it.


"Geez Sabiiinneee!" his Aidan was upset.

Sabine still ate a dish of Indonesian dessert while busy chatting with Thara.


Thara who heard could only gawk. "Is your baby okay?"


"My obstetrician's words are strong but it can't be gedubrakan like the era has not been pregnant anyway but the important thing is equally satisfied!"


Thara holds her temple. "Oh my goodness Sabine... Is the gender known? Because my son just wanted to see when yesterday we control."


"It looks like a guy if he sees his behavior makes his momm darting vomiting every morning. That you?"


"Cowok and Aidan have already prepared the name" Thara replied.


"I'm not even afraid of tomorrow it's different to mess up" Sabine said.

"Happy Karl?" ask Aidan to the enemies of adolescence, friends after adulthood and becoming a brother-in-law.


"Happy Ai. Thank God get Sabine a complete package even though sometimes his mouth does not filter" Karl muck.


"Ah she'd consider it Levi chick" said Aidan.


"Ohya yesterday Bara's wedding event, we can't come because of Sabine's severe morning sickness. Why is boy julid the same momm?" Karl Mumam.


"Si boy?" Aidan raised his eyebrows.


"Hu um's. I feel like my baby's a boy, Ai."


Aidan smiled. "Good, let there be a compact with my boy."


"Whoahs! Your son boy too?" exclaim Karl enthusiastically.


"Yoi after hiding her gender in USG finally found out that our boy." Aidan smiled broadly.


"Add more generations of Blair, Schumacher, Giandra, Al Azzam and Al Jordan."


"Hopefully our boy can be strong to carry a family name that is already heavy." Aidan looked at Thara who was still engrossed in chatting with Sabine.


"They will be strong with our guidance. Our parents are able to educate us like what, how can we not?" Karl looked at his best friend.


"You're right."

Today is Thara's control schedule let alone her birth has entered the age of 8.5 months. Accompanied by Aidan, Thara walked a little hard especially with her stomach is already big and feet swollen, making herself easily tired.


Aidan himself forbade Thara to stand a lot in the pastry room and he sat more often if making snacks. And already this week, Thara complained aches everywhere so he prefers to rest at home. All the pastries she gave to Stacy and for the sake of the chef Thara chose to help the girl as long as she was not at the restaurant.


"Why baby?" asked Aidan saw Thara furrowing her brows.


"It doesn't feel good" she whispered. Aidan rubbed his wife's back gently. In front of them, a janitor was mopping. Thara and Aidan are waiting outside the doctor's office.


"Prophe Yaaa. Kan next month the boy brojol" kekeh Aidan.


"Brojol, brojol... The cat!" thara's sonny while a manyun.


"Birth, baby. Born" errat Aidan rather than pinch his wife.


"Mrs Thara Blair" call a nun.


"Yuk in." Aidan also took Thara. As she walked into the practice room, Thara slipped on the newly-peled floor and fell down. The woman felt extreme pain and red liquid came out from between her legs.


"Tharaaay!"
