After being made dizzy looking for a fresh drink called cincau in the hot sun, finally Ardy found it too. A grandfather who had looked wrinkled at eating age, as well as the part of the teeth that left only a few seeds on the edge was smiling broadly at the sight of Jian who was cool and how much he enjoyed his voracious wares.
While Ardy stared incessantly at his future wife without batting an eye with a look of wonder, why his wife so wanted a drink containing a green blob that made her shudder herself.
"Do you want to too, sir?" haggle Jian while scooping the lizard in his hand.
Ardy shook his head quickly. "No, you're all!" reject it.
"really? It's delicious, loh. You will regret it if you don't try it," Jian said as he sucked the lizard into his mouth, then drank the pink water that tasted so sweet and fresh.
Can not be denied, the man was actually very thirsty. Seeing Jian enjoying the drink, made him gulp his saliva with great difficulty.
"Really that's delicious?" asked Ardy to make sure, for some reason now he became curious.
"Hm, of course. If you want, order again, yes! This one is for me" Jian said.
Ardy turned to the cyclic salesman's grandfather, the grandfather threw a smile at him.
"If I want to make it, son," said the grandfather.
There was doubt in Ardy's mind, but he didn't want to die of curiosity about the taste. Finally, he nodded his head at his grandfather.
"Yes, make it! But don't get too much green-green," pinta Ardy later.
"Ready, son," said the grandfather, saluting like during the flag ceremony.
Not long after, the grandfather finished concocting his drink. With trembling hands he thrust it at Ardy.
"Thank you, cake" said Ardy, receiving a clear glass that had one side of the ear.
The man brought the glass down his nostrils, smelled good and seemed refreshing. Jian who witnessed this laughed a little at him.
"Hurry up and try, the color will melt" Jian said.
"really? But this isn't ice" Ardy said in disbelief.
"Yes, just keep it quiet! Over time will shrink the color," sizzled Jian.
Ardy looked at Jian who was still focused on eating his love, whether the lizard was going to melt. Ah, time yes. Thought the man.
Slowly Ardy touched the spoon in the glass, and started scooping the water first. And as soon as the spoon stuck to his lips, the first he felt cold. Then the spoon managed to break through the defense of his mouth, so Ardy rounded his eyes in disbelief, if the water really tastes sweet and refreshing.
Hm, good too, yeah, it turns out. Jian was indeed good at choosing the type of fresh drink. His smart wife. Praise in the heart.
Ardy took the spoon out of his glass. And gulped the lizard water directly into his mouth, leaving half of it. Jian's laughter was now broken seeing the behavior of her future husband.
Ardy stopped his drink and turned to the woman beside him while showing off a neat row of white teeth.
"Hehehe. yep delicious, baby," replied Ardy creating a red hue on Jian's cheek.
The grandfather who witnessed the behavior of the buyer also smiled, but not for long, the smile faded and changed into a face of sadness.
Jian who realized this immediately asked the condition of the grandfather.
"Grandfather why are you sad?"
The grandfather immediately wiped away the tears that had just washed his cheeks using his shirt sleeve.
"No, son. It's okay" the grandfather replied, trying to smile.
"Really, grandpa's okay?" Jian placed the chirp in his hand onto the long wooden bench he was sitting on, then approached the grandfather sitting under his wagon.
"No, son. Grandfather only remembered the wife who looked like you, "the grandfather explained.
"You remind grandfather to him, when we were young, grandfather's wife was so fond of chirping. So happy, grandfather to sell himself, even until now," he added.
Jian and Ardy were moved to hear it. His heart was filled to hear the story of the grandfather's youth.
"Mm.. indeed grandfather does not have children, until grandfather is still selling? Grandpa is old."
The grandfather let out a heavy sigh, Jian's question made the originally receding tears now harden again.
"Grandfather lives in a bar, son. Grandpa's wife used to have no offspring. If you have a child, be grateful. For many on the outside are so desiring offspring, that whatever they do to get it," said the grandfather in his sobs.
Jian turned to Ardy, their pair of eyes now meeting in a silent glare.
Indeed, there are so many couples who find it difficult to get offspring, even they gave up and ended up divorcing because they did not get it. And not infrequently also, a couple who have sex and easily get pregnant, then choose to throw away the fetus, either through abortion or when it has given birth.
From the gibberish merchant's grandfather Jian could learn a lesson, if anything happens in life, we must still thank him. Because what we have now, it could still be a dream for others.
