My Husband is a Ningrat

Season 2's. [Cake cheese ]

Gegaraning wong akrami

Dudu bandha dudu

Amung ati pawitan

Missed pisan got a slice

Easy yet easy

Angel, angel necklace

Tan gota tinumbas arta

The reinforcement in the marriage

Not physical possessions, not physical

The heart as capital

Once so, it will be forever

If it is easy, it will be easier

If it's hard, it's not hard to play

Cannot be redeemed with treasure

Asmaradana Tembang.

For the common good, Kaysan allowed me to go to Laura Bakery's shop while Kaysan went to teach.

Eyang Dhanangjaya was with Kaysan, while Mbah Atmoe was with me. These two grandfathers were witnesses to both of our activities.

"Bah, Jani wants to make a cake. I will succeed." I smiled witfully, I elus my distended stomach while feeling a loud kick from the sole of this tiny foot. I feel more alive, when there's real movement from the fetus I'm carrying.

Mbah Atmoe laughed, "That won't be the first person to taste your cake."

My heart was pierced by thorns to hear the words of Mbah Atmoe. But I have not stirred the eggs and flour into one. Laura chuckled at the conversation we both had.

"Bah remember yesterday you cooked with Nakula and Sadewa, and the results. Kaysan won't eat it."

"The name is also cooking Mbah, not serious just for fun." I replied, I really want to laugh out loud when forcing Kaysan to eat my cooking.

Mbah Atmoe was silent for a moment, "Over time Mbah felt guilty for bothering you and Kaysan, Nduk."

I mengjap do not understand, what means Mbah Atmoe is not at home here and a life that requires a lot of adaptation.

Laura patted me on the shoulder, "Sometimes my parents say that. But actually they just don't want to trouble us." Laura went to the kitchen.

"Jani, tell Grandpa Atmoe. Does he want to work on a cattle farm? That will make him let go of homesickness."

"That miss of Mirisewu's tomb? Or is Mbah Atmoe going to work on Aunt Laura's cow ranch?" my many. I'm approaching Mbah Atmoe. Trying to guess the desire of Mbah Atmoe.

Mbah Atmoe thought hard, Laura came to bring warm tea for Mbah Atmoe.

"The location of the farm is not far away, later it can be between Keenan. While Jani can be here as long as no one's home, I'll be happy that there's a lot to help me."

Laura smiled, she showed me a photo of the cattle farm from her cell phone screen.

"You can have fun with your old-school grandpa."

Mbah Atmoe looked at me, trying to get approval. "Let's talk to Kaysan, Laura. Hmm.. Let's make a cake, I want to surprise Kaysan."

Laura nodded, she grabbed me and took me to the kitchen.

Today Laura taught me to make cheese cake. Cheese and milk are abundant in this city, making me never run out of stock to eat it. This kid seems to want to be recognized if made abroad.

Laura well taught me one by one the process of making cookie dough. She also told a lot of stories when she first chose to open a cake shop that her late husband bought. The hobby of making cakes turned it into a venture and kept it busy. It was as if that busyness eroded her loneliness because she often lived away her husband.

"Hopefully it doesn't taste bad." I said as I put the baking pan into the oven.

"It wouldn't be bad if it was made with earnestness." Laura laughed as she saw my face filled with flour dough.

"You're the little boy who brought the little boy. How's it feel?" Laura sat on the chair, while I tidied up the dirty utensils and washed them.

"Surprisingly, there are new things that I feel." I explained, Laura nodded.

"Do you know her gender?"

I shrugged, "Oh, it's not time for USG yet." I was still washing tools, while occasionally serving Laura's questions. For me, Laura does have a strong character in the face of her former household. The strict and disciplined nature that her husband taught her made her stand alone when her husband was sentenced to death.

"It looks like the cake is ripe" Laura said. He took the gloves and wouldn't let me take the hot baking sheet alone.

"We let it sit for a while until it's cold, after that we just give cream cheese and grated cheese." Laura let the cake be at room temperature.

"Basic orok, be patient. Your father must have called me." I poked my stomach with my finger. My fetus returned with a free kick. Movement's fickle. Sometimes it's so loud that I'm shocked.

"Bah wants to work on a cattle ranch, Nduk."Finally Mbah Atmoe made a decision, "Mbah does not want to just be Kaysan security guard. You are old enough to know what a deed can and cannot be. Know the law of causation?" I'm nodding.

"Laura, Mbah Atmoe wants to work on the farm. But may I ask for one thing. Don't ask Mbah Atmoe to be a shepherd boy."

"Then? Shepherd grandpa?" Laura laughed, though,

"I'll get Keenan here, you can visit the farm directly." Laura went back to the kitchen, she picked up her dress and contacted Keenan.

"Would you like to go back to Java?" I asked, because it still looks like a suction stroke in Mbah Atmoe's eyes.

Sometimes there is a longing that cannot be expressed clearly for an Mbah Atmoe. Eyang Dhanangjaya and Mbah Atmoe still think that Kaysan is the King's son who must be respected must have been fired from the palace. Mbah Atmoe was silent. It is like confusion to find the best solution.

"Before winter I'll ask Kaysan to take us home."

The ringing of my phone rang, I saw my husband's name visible on the phone screen. I gladly picked it up, but only what was asked now is the fruit of his love. Not me, his wife who is developing the advanced features of God-given. Garba Cave, the shaper of human life.

Already eaten?

Have you been drinking milk?

Does he keep kicking?

I'll be home at two o'clock. I'll come get you.

Kaysan's voice had already vanished along with the disconnected call. Though I haven't said, if I've learned to make cakes.

For almost half an hour I waited for the cake to be decorated. This is what I'm waiting for. Like a talented artist, I decorate this cake with cream cheese. Laura let me experiment with my cake.

I start to get confused when I think about the future. On the other hand I realized a reality that continuously pauses happiness. Sometimes I am not sure I will have a future according to dreams, sometimes there are still many uncertainties that dominate the situation. The future still seems absurd in my eyes.

"It's done." I said very happy. This cheese cake is good to look at. Not sure about the taste.

"Laura, how?" ask me while pointing at my work.

"Not ugly. We can eat them together. Hmm. Surely waiting for your husband to come home." Laura smile.

While waiting, I spent some time looking at the article about pregnancy in my gestational age right now. I also started looking for a safe style to make love. My face blushed at the sight of the many styles that were still allowed to do.

Until one by one the people we were waiting for came to Laura's shop. Mr. Keenan, Kaysan and eyang Dhanangjaya.

I greeted the four of them, not missing kissing the back of his hand. Kaysan hugged me and

rubbing my stomach, "Is he naughty?"

"What if you're naughty to mas jewer?" I pulled Kaysan to sit next to me.

"Today Jani made a cake. And, now you have to try it."

Their faces are not what I thought. They looked at Laura, as if seeking help.

"Not tried it is prejudiced!"

"No, it's just that I'm afraid if you just play cooking like yesterday" said Kaysan who smiled widely. It seemed to cover his doubts.

"The bad boy must be swallowed, you must appreciate my efforts." I whine.

"Yes, yes." said Kaysan in a forced tone.

I helped Laura cut the cake. I cheered in excitement, the cake did not bantet.

"It must be good, it's because your son made it." The father smiled as he handed the cake to small plates, but they seemed hesitant to try it.

"Read Do'a first so as to escape from the unexpected taste." slurried Mbah Atmoe.

We solemn do'a. Kaysan told me to taste it first. One spoon got in my mouth.

"It tastes like cheese."

"Pregnancy tastes are different."

"What is most salt, it tastes salty."

"Most of all we want to marry."

"It looks like the eggs are beating for less time, so it's less soft." Those criticisms made me even more confused.

"Enak or no? No need to be convoluted." My serge.

Everyone looked at me, "Not good but not bad" Kaysan replied.

Everyone laughed a little at me who was grumbling in annoyance.

"Tomorrow I'll practice again!" my answer. I took another piece of the cake and ate it. I hungry.

Happy Reading 💚
