MY LOVE ENDS WITH YOU

CHARM OF A CUISINE

AUTHOR POV

 

Since Narita knew Ali, at certain times they always made a pact to pray together in the Little of Al Aqsa. Which usually Ali only adhan and pray at home in time Isya’ and Fajr only, now they sometimes Maghrib together, even weekends like today they can Dhuhur and Ashar at home.

As usual, when Narita had lured Karen into the night, she returned to her room. Before starting to call his parents and children, Narita took the time to read the Qur’an. The voice he deliberately softened for fear of disturbing the great master in case he heard it.

When Narita read the Qur’an, Mr. Dave who was on the 2nd floor was about to open the room Karen heard Narita's voice. She who was holding onto Karen's door handle suddenly changed her mind, instead stepping her foot in front of Narita's door. No matter what impulse, he deliberately stuck his ear on the door leaf hoping to hear more clearly and was sure that what he had just heard was not just an illusion.

Even in the last few days, after the dawn prayer he always heard a woman reading the Qur’an in the Little of Al Aqsa. The chanting of the verse Al Qur’an really makes anyone who hears it thump, as well as with it. So curious, once a time after the dawn prayer, after Mr. Dave was taught to read the Qur’an by Ali did not immediately return to his room. He deliberately waited longer there to wait for who was the woman who chanted the verse of the Qur’an well. But because Narita doesn't come out and Mr. Dave had to get ready for the office immediately so he finally left the Little of Al Aqsa with a disappointed face.

Now when she hears her nanny Karen Tadarus, she is convinced that the woman who is a sadarus in the Little of Al Aqsa is Narita.

Being long enough in front of the door by sticking an ear in the door leaf, Mr. Dave realized his ridiculousness, he smiled.

Stupid, what do I thinkin? – inner Mr. Dave shakes his head.

Then he returned to his original destination to Karen's room. After leaving Karen's room, she went back to her room and cleaned herself up. Then through an internal phone call, he called Drake.

In his study next to his room, Drake and Mr. Dave was sitting facing.

“What are you calling me these nights?” ask Drake.

“How's Karen? Is he still often fussy?”

“Not sir. Sir can see now he's fatter than ever.” Bright Drake.

“Owh yes sir, did you order Ali to always adhan in Little of Al Aqsa? Because these few days, Ali always adhan and worship there.” Mr. Dave knitted his brows hearing that.

“Tumben? I'm sure she's rarely home? Even Maghrib he chose a mummy in the big mosque” said Mr. Dave was also in a surprised tone.

“Yes he always has a worship friend sie, sir. Ali and Narita also I saw more familiar”

Is it possible because of Narita, Ali fighting the congregation at home? How can they get so close to it so easily? So Narita is a Muslim? –Mr. Dave asked in his heart.

“Takpapa Drake. From the first I actually asked him to enliven the Little of Al Aqsa, but because of his busyness so he only supported Isya’ and Fajr only. Thank God if he wants.”

Then their discussion continues to another problem.

Ali weeded and hoeed his land. At first she doesn't know how to hoe but Narita teaches her until she finally can. Meanwhile Narita started mixing the planting medium and natural fertilizer he bought at the plantman a few days ago. Once enough was felt, Narita immediately hoarded the seeds. They grow a variety of chilies, tomatoes, cucumbers, chives, onions and garlic, peppers, papayas, and some vegetables that Narita himself does not know the name because in Indonesia is rare.

After that, Ali asked the water repairman to add a water network to reach the backyard, the goal is to make it easier to water it. It didn't take long for the water network to be installed, the seeds were embedded, and now Narita is watering it.

“Yey,, Alhamdullillah kelar already” look satisfied, happy, though tired face enveloped Ali.

“Thank you, Ali. All so quickly finished because thanks to your help” Narita who was watering smiled happily.

“This is what I helped nyiram. You gentian break” now Ali is holding the end of the hose and preparing to flush.

However, it seemed that Ali was indeed nosy, instead of directing the flow of water to the plants, instead watering it to Narita. Narita who was suddenly attacked by a spray of water, screamed in shock. Now Narita was chasing Ali and they were fighting over the hose, and both were chasing and scrambling for a hose and were both wet. The face of the story is seen emanating from both. Narita, who now seems to have found a friend who is the same frequency as her friends when she worked at OXC.

With the wet conditions, the two returned to their respective pavilions. Along the way to the pavilion, several assistants encountered them, greeted them kindly and teased them. Yes, since Narita stayed there, the housekeepers now want to greet each other, gather, joke, and not too individualistic as before. Yes, that's how Narita's presence there, has really turned the cold atmosphere into warm.

After Narita takes care of Karen, she's getting ready for college. Today he has no appointments with anyone, but he tries to routinely find reference materials to write, study, and understand the procedures of writing in the style of his Professor.

Somehow like a deal, when Narita was about to ride his bike, Ali came back and offered him a ride. But this time he refused it, because it was troublesome later if he returned home he had no one to deliver. Ali did not force him this time, considering he himself had a different schedule.

Such were Narita's days at Karen's house. Every morning he always took the time to cook Indonesian menu. This time he cooked fried rice with the lowest level of spicy since he deliberately made for a few servings. The fragrance of onion and ground chili peppers, gushing out from pavilliun 101. Only the outdoor assistant who has been active while the new indoor assistant will start working if the big master has left the office.

Mr. Dave is now sitting in the dining room, with various food menus that have been served on it. The smell of Narita's roar rushes into the area where Mr. Dave is.

“Chef, you guys are not cooking something?” Mr. Dave stands up and watches the stove clean and no longer burning, while the two chefs sit nearby waiting for instructions when the master needs food that must be cooked first.

“No sir. Would you like to ask for something?” A cheft immediately stood up and offered himself up.

“Neg. Then who smells the food so fragrant?” tanyanya while returning to her seat.

“Perhaps someone is cooking in pavilliun 101. If you want, I can get it!”

“Bby. Suddenly I had no taste for the food that was here. I want this cooked meal!” said Mr. Dave.

“Good, wait a minute my master picked it up. But he is not a chef who cooks, so maybe it tastes beyond tuan” expectations

“Tak what. I'm just curious about the taste.”
