My dear Siomay

New day, in broad daylight.
Afternoon in my dear Siomay tavern. The heat is starting to bite. The temperature in the room becomes hotter than in the morning. The sun continues to rise, looking like it is in the middle of the earth. Thank goodness this break time many who come to the store makes the atmosphere of the store look crowded. In the kitchen, Tio and I were preparing an order for a grandfather to order 500 servings of siomay. We have finished boiling siomay and it has been drained. Vegetables are also seasoning beans are ready to be inserted with the others in one container.
"Let's start packing!", I'm in charge of packing and Tio is counting the number of siomay already packed. While Rendi served at the cashier serving buyers who came to the store.
"Mas, it's two" a girl ordered through the cashier.
"Medas?", Rendi asked.
"Yes" the girl replied.
"Eat here or get wrapped up?".
"Eat here", the girl while giving a piece of money twenty thousand.
"Wait ya!", Rendi invited the girl to sit on the chair.
The girl sat down while looking to the right and to the left. The watch in his hand never escaped his sight, he was like waiting for someone.
After a while, a young man came and entered the tavern. He looked around the shop and saw the girl. He immediately approached her.
"You've been since?", heard the young man say hello.
"It's only been 15 minutes" he answered.
Next they chatted in a soft voice.
Tio and I have finished preparing the order. Half an hour to 2 o'clock, half an hour seems like it will be enough to deliver the order to the place, since the place is not too far from here. The rendition will deliver the order later. Because Tio now does not have a car and Rendi motorbike will not be enough to carry 500 orders, so I ordered an online taxi for Rendi. The taxi came too. We immediately moved all orders to the car.
"Sir, the address is already written on the application yes!", I while paying the bill.
The driver nodded with a smile. Rendi got in the car. I ordered for the purpose of going and going home to the store.
"I'm leaving first!", Rendi said goodbye.
"Yes, be careful!", I waved my hand.
The online taxi went and stayed away.
Thank God, I say in my heart, one task has been completed, may the buyer re-order for the next event.
From the outside, a mother runs into the store. He came in and looked for someone.
"Adit!", he yelled.
"Mother?", the young man looked shocked.
"Where have you been?it's been a week for mom to look, so your homeroom teacher called mom because you didn't go to school" she held her son's hand. But the young man threw out his mother's hand.
"Mom, I cape learning and school continues, must fulfill all the wishes of the mother, have perfect grades and if the grades drop a little mother will blame me. I just want to get out of school" the young man told his mother.
"Did your friend do you any harm?or you want me to find a better school" her mother asked with glass.
"No, Mom, not at all, my friend is very good, only my mother always presses me to have perfect grades, I'm not strong" the young man looks so depressed.
"Mother did it for your good", her mother felt right.
"What kindness?I'm stressed because I can't fulfill what I want, if my grades are bad, I start to feel scared until I can't sleep every night", the young man expressed his feelings.
All eyes are on them. The people in the store made them a spectacle like they were watching a soap opera.
"Mother wants your future to be as brilliant as your sister's".
"But I'm not a big brother, don't compare us, we are two different people, me and brother each have different advantages and disadvantages".
"No, you have to succeed as a child who has the same high achievements as your brother".
"But brother is gone, Mom. Do you want me to die like a sister?".
"No, don't!, well mother will obey what you want as long as you don't end life like your sister" the mother cried bitterly.
His mother was crying. I felt unbearable, I approached the mother and I took her to sit down.
"Yes, the mother confessed the mother's guilt, now go home, the mother will obey all you want", the mother tearfully.
"No, I want to be free. Being free from mother is also from all the perfection that mother wants!", the young man seemed to want to escape.
"Don't!don't go!", as soon as the mother fainted on my lap.
His son who would run back to his mother again.
"Mother!mama!I'm sorry, Mom!", the young man cried.
I asked Tio for eucalyptus oil to make her sober. I rubbed it on his nose and it worked.
"Adit, don't go again, please mother!", the mother immediately clasped her son's hand.
"Yes, Mom, forgive me. I won't make you cry again", Addi held her mother's hand.
Everyone was happy, finally the mother and child showed each other affection.
"Adit, don't worry your mother anymore!", I said as if I knew the boy, when we had just met. The dialogue between mother and son made me seem to know Adit.
Adit nodded and helped his mother stand up, but her mother was so weak that she fell down again.
"heart, Mom!. Did you eat?", I asked.
"I haven't eaten since morning, because I keep looking for Adit" the mother replied.
"I'm sorry Adit, Bu!it has made mom so this way!", Addit with eyes glistening.
The mother just nodded weakly. I immediately asked Tio to take siomay in the kitchen. Tio immediately took a serving of siomay and gave it to me.
"This is Mom, eat it, that you may have energy!", and I give you the plate containing the siomay.
The mother took it and ate a spoonful of siomay. After chewing it, he cried and let out tears. I felt shocked because I was afraid that the siomay I gave was not good.
"Why,Bu?not feeling good?".
"This siomay reminds me of my late husband, he really likes siomay. This Siomay is so delicious", he greedily ate and consumed the siomay.
I am very happy, because my siomay can make the mother remember the person she loves also likes this siomay.
"May I ask you again?", the mother looked hungry.
"May, I'll take it for a while" I hurried to take Siomay in the kitchen and give it to the mother.
He enjoyed the siomay I gave him until it was over. Now he can stand up and not be too limp.
"Thank you for the siomaynya, later I will ask my secretary to come here and pay this siomay".
"No need, Mom, this is for my mother".
"But I feel bad. How about I book again for an event in my office tomorrow".
"Can you order what portion?", I asked.
"I ordered 1000 portions to celebrate the return of my son Adit", the mother looked at her son and smiled.
"Oh, that's a lot, Bu. What time?", I felt disbelief.
"Hour 9am, please send to my office, and then my secretary will call. May I have her phone number!".
"It's Mom!", I give you a brochure about this tavern so she can read more details about the menu in my dear Siomay.
"Ok, thanks!I'll go home first. Adit let's go home with mom!", the mother while holding her child.
Adit's girl friend who had been silent had finally come home, while ordering another pack of siomay for her loved ones at home, maybe for her mother.
