This breakfast was different from the previous breakfast. Children are so eager to choose the food that is served. They seemed to enjoy the food. For them it's breakfast, lunch or dinner all the same menu..
Ratna took pepes of Reva's favorite fish. He cleans the spices and leaves that cover the body of the fish.
“Fill it re...” Ratna said while putting fish on Reva's plate.
“Still ma'am...” says Reva while swallowing food in his mouth.
He looked at Ratna who was looking at him with a smile. His eyes are still so thick. Reva took out a piece of fish and then put her feathers together with the rice. His chest was tight, he could not imagine that he would no longer be able to get these little cares from Ratna. Reva swallowed her food along with the tears she was trying to endure.
Seeing the attention of Ratna so great, Niken's heart melos. All of Reva's habits, his way of eating, his favorite foods are already very much different. It felt too hard for Niken to recognize her Lana again.
Reva basically has no favorite food. Every dish that is cooked Ratna, always he enjoys with voraciously while exclaiming “This is a favorite food rere.” And for some reason, every handmade dish of Ratna always feels good in her mouth.
“Kak, I want tempe fried.” Point Andi at the fried tempeh that is in front of Niken.
“Bby, nih. ” Reva fetch tempe for Andi. “Eating a lot ya hotshot.” Imbuh Reva smiled. Andi nodded with spirit.
Raka who was watching Reva from earlier, felt itchy if her lips did not curl a smile. His admiration for Reva grew with his attention to others.
“Bu, rere once ate a mouthwash at kak mela's house. It was a long time ago. He said it was made from papaya leaves. But the bitter gag yes?” Reva tried to find the talk so that the eating atmosphere did not feel awkward.
“Oh yes if the cooking is really bitter gag. Continue before cooking should be in rendem first use garem about an hour. Later the bitterness is lost.” Light Ratna with spirit.
This was how Reva lured Ratna back into the spirit. Discussing about the cuisine, his garden plants or looking for river fish always makes Ratna seem to forget the problem.
“Gag bitters but so salty gag bu?” ledek Reva chuckles.
“Ya dong re... You want mom to make?” tawar Ratna
“Hem can... Aunty want to follow?” take Reva to Niken who has just been down trying to enjoy her food.
“Bby,” suhut Niken with her wide smile.
Reva looked at Wira who also nodded in agreement. The hero can read the true purpose of this girl, so that she can bring her two mothers closer. And the hero feels salute.

The cooking sounds so fun. Reva is very smart to turn the atmosphere on. Sometimes Wira and Raka smile when they hear the three women laughing with crispy while cooking.
“Pah, papah has not told you about indra right about lana?” tanya Raka who was sitting together with Wira enjoyed the view of the small vegetable garden next to the house of Reva.
“Not yet, papah is still thinking of the right time and way.” Sipping black coffee made by Niken. The wavy is completely natural.
“Raka thinks also we should just lana first. I'm afraid he's not ready. Yes even om indra and aunt nida is definitely seneng.” Said Raka who also enjoyed the cake made by Ratna.
“But with this incident, papah so the same thought of lana's kidnapper. Until now we have found any traces of them. The car caught fire and the case expired according to the law. But the culprit might still be wandering around and could be life threatening lana if they know lana's alive.” The man seemed to think seriously. And Raka understood very well the anxiety of Wira.
“Maybe it's good we hide the existence of lana before we talk about this problem with om indra pah.” The suggestion of Raka who was possessed agreed by Wira.
The boisterous voice again sounded from the kitchen making Raka and Wira's attention turn to the three women. Wira invites Raka to look into the kitchen, the crisp laughter of the three women so inviting his attention.
“Where is it, good gag?” asked Reva who was curiously waiting for Ratna's reply.
Ratna just nodded with a smile, which could be interpreted Reva's cooking is not too bad.
“Tante want to try?”
Reva pointed her hand at Niken. Niken nodded as she opened her mouth. Reva feeds the food into Niken's mouth with her hands. It feels like Dejavu Niken remembers this. In the past, little Lana really liked to share food with anyone. Sometimes when Niken eats, he prefers to sit on Niken's lap and eat together from Niken's plate to feed each other. Ah. Niken misses those days.
“Enak tan?” Reva impatiently awaited Niken's response.
“Enak!” he said while smiling.
“Tuh right, rere cuisine is delicious. It is only rarely cooked.” Cetus Reva received boisterous laughter from Niken and Ratna.
“This is really exciting anyway. What else to chat?” Wira joined the women with Raka. He rubbed Niken's shoulder and sat down next to her. The cheerful face of his smiling wife.
“It's om, rere cook this. Mother same aunt Niken as a tasting team. Want to try?” with the spirit of Reva was about to feed the Hero.
“Sure dong!” The woman opened her mouth wide and the food entered her mouth. “Enak..” Praise Wira while nodding.
“Aaaa.. mas.” this time Raka's mouth is open and receives a bribe from Reva. He praised Reva's cooking.
The atmosphere of the kitchen was again crowded with the sounds of laughter and small talk. A second food menu will be available soon. Reva went to the stall to buy some cooking ingredients. They talk to each other in the kitchen without Reva.
Niken looked at Ratna who was slicing some food. Fresh vegetables join Niken Siangi for their lunch.
“Bu ratna...” With hesitation Niken started his sentence.
“Iya bu...” sahut Ratna who began to look at the beautiful face of Niken.
“Em... I don't know what to start.” Niken turned to Wira who was sitting next to him and Raka who was silent while looking at one by one the kitchen spices that were in front of him. “I, would like to say many thanks to ma'am ratna for caring for, loving and educating our daughter. I don't know what to repay mother's kindness so far.” Said Niken with bated breath.
It was seen Ratna giving him a faint smile. “Bu niken, a mother who loves her daughter never expects anything in return. Although Rere was not born from my womb, he was like my own son. The presence of rere brings a new color to my life. I no longer feel lonely even though I have been left behind by my late husband.” Ratna paused her sentence with a gentle touch on Niken's shoulder.
“Bu niken tau, when he lost all his memories actually the memory can return from rere following therapy. But some time passed, he felt that maybe his loved ones no longer cared about him and no one was looking for him. From then on, he thought maybe he should never remember who he was. Unfortunately, the habit of him forgetting his sadness lasts until he grows up. Every time he experiences an unpleasant event, he, he will consciously forget the incident until the last time he had to consult a psychologist to treat the pain in his head that recently often appears. I don't want to go through anything bad anymore. I also don't want him to experience a deep sadness one day and he tries to forget everything. I don't want him to fall again. So after this, please take good care of him for me...” Ratna's voice rang out at the end of her sentence.
An expression of deep affection was clearly recorded in the minds of Niken, Wira and Raka.
“Baw rere with you. Let him know who he really is. Let him face his past. I believe she can get through it all because she's a strong girl. Never complain let alone give up.” Tukas Ratna wiped the water on his cheek. He did not want Reva to see the sadness he felt. However Reva deserves a better life and to be among those who love her so much.
