“ do not memorize the way here... remember do not come here alone without Ines and others.... “ hearing Afkar's advice instantly made Nara shudder in horror and tighten her left hand grip to Afkar's left arm.
Arriving in front of the Indonesian Det Kjokken, a bodyguard opened the door and they went inside. The restaurant looks very quiet even the chairs are still neatly arranged on the table.
“ mas.... restaurant is not open yet “ whispered Nara.
“ already.... soon have come out “ said Afkar while inviting Nara leaning on a table as high as Nara's chest.
While Ines and Lief lowered the seats for Nara as well as Afkar.
Due to the noisy sound of the seats that Afkar's bodyguards did, a couple came out from behind smilingly looking at Afkar.
“ GUN, kom ... er hun din kone? Hvorfor er det annerledes enn jenta du fortalte meg om (GUN, welcome.... is she your wife? Why is it different from the girl you told me about)? “ Salam Destin made Afkar smile and reached out his right hand shaking Destin's hand.
“ det er den samme jenta .. bare et annet utseende (this is the same girl... her appearance is different) “ said Afkar made the couple laugh.
“ sweetie.. let me introduce you, this is Destin and this is Leana, they are husband and wife who own this restaurant... introduce this Destin and this Leana, their husband and wife the owner of this restaurant... one of their parents comes from Indonesia) “ said Afkar introduced Destin and Leana to Nara.
Nara shook Leana's hand first and cupped her hands to Destin, although Nara was wearing gloves but felt strange when she had to shake hands with the opposite sex. Destin, who had heard little of Nara, did the same thing as Nara, cupping her hands together to greet Nara.
“ so what do you want for breakfast... the breakfast menu today.... lontong greens, soto betawi and ketoprak (so what you want to eat.... today's breakfast menu... lontong greens, soto betawi and ketoprak)? “ asked Destin and mentioned the name of the breakfast menu with Norsk dialeg that sounded funny in Nara's ear.
“ My wife is in the mood to eat lontong vegetable..and make lontong soto betawi for their breakfast (My wife wants to eat vegetable lontong.... and make them lontong soto betawi for their breakfast) “ Afkar said while pulling a chair for Nara to sit down.
Nara had not been able to sit down, Leana gave a hand signal so that Nara did not sit down first
“ you guys don't sit here.. we've prepared a closed place for you (you don't sit here.... we have prepared a closed table for you) “ said Leana to make Nara confused.
“ you guys did this on purpose for my wife.... thank you (you purposely did this for my wife...... thank you) “ said Afkar.
“ You can eat at the table over there (you can eat at the table over there ) “ point Leana at Destin who has opened a curtain surrounding a dining table.
“ seriously... when did you guys do this (seriously.... when did you do it)? “ asked Afkar in wonder as he stepped towards the table that Leana pointed at.
“ after you called me..... I said GUN will take his wife to have breakfast in our restaurant.... they said Neptunia was wearing a veil so it's impossible to eat in a restaurant with a lot of people.and they asked me to put this curtain (after you call me.... my two children asked me who called. I said GUN would take his wife to breakfast at our restaurant.... they said Neptunia was wearing a veil so it was impossible to eat at a restaurant with a lot of people. and they asked me to put this curtain on) “ Destin explained and allowed Afkar and Nara to sit down.
“ thanks (thank you) “ said Afkar.
After speaking stale, the couple husband and wife of the restaurant owner went into preparing what Afkar ordered. As the curtains surrounding them sat neatly closed, Afkar opened Nara's niqab.
“ mas.... know them both where? “ tany Nara whispers.
“ how can they make Indonesian cuisine? “ asked Nara who was spoiled in Afkar's hands.
“ mas little forget... either mama or papa Destin from the field and Leana from Sunda “ said Afkar while kissing the top of Nara's head.
After waiting for approximately 2 minutes, the vegetable barn orders Afkar came.
“ GUN, here's lontong greens for you and Neptunia (GUN, this is a vegetable bar for you and Neptunia) “ sounds Destin from the outside of the curtain.
Afkar immediately stood up from the chair and opened the curtains so that he could take one by one two plates of vegetable pontoons from Destin's hands, and put them on the table.
“ thanks (thank you) “ said Afkar while closing back the curtain.
“ waaaa.... looks very good.... Nara eat first yes.. “ said Nara who already holds a spoon and fork.
Nara's happy voice was clearly heard by Destin and Leana who then passed by presenting lontong soto betawi to Lief and Ines as well as others. They smile when they hear Nara's happy voice, and feel relieved that there are Indonesians who like their cuisine.
Afkar smiled at Nara's happy expression at the Indonesian food menu. Without waiting for an answer from Afkar, Nara immediately put a spoonful of vegetables into her mouth. In just a matter of less than 5 minutes 1 plate of vegetable pontong runs out to not separate the sauce in the slightest. Nara blinked her eyelids flirtatiously at Afkar.
“ less? “ asked Afkar who guessed the meaning of his wife's flirtatious eyes.
Nara smiled answering Afkar's question.
“ spend have a mas.. “ said Afkar while offering another plate of vegetables that Afkar deliberately does not eat because surely Nara will feel less with just 1 portion only.
Nara clapped her hands in excitement to get another serving of vegetable pennies, and without waiting for long. Nara immediately ate the vegetable barn, Afkar stood up from the chair and came out from behind the curtain looking for Destin. I don't know what Afkar was talking about, but Afkar reentered behind the curtain with 1 plate of vegetables. Afkar smiled to see Nara trying to finish the vegetables.
“ slowly.... if it is still lacking... this is 1 more portion “ said Afkar while cleaning a little residual gravy around Nara's lips with his thumb.
“ is good “ said Afkar when licking his thumb which contained the rest of the gravy from Nara's lips.
Afkar offered a glass of water when Nara finished her meal.
“ Alhamdulillah very good..... mas... later afternoon what menu? “ asked Nara to make Afkar not enter a spoonful of vegetables.
“ mas eat first yes... later before getting out of here dear can read the menu behind the table was “ said Afkar slowly and re-inserted a spoonful of vegetable puffs.
“ mas, mas friends can speak English yes.... Nara thinks Norwegians don't speak English “ Nara said as she pinched the small sleeve of Afkar's right-handed shirt.
