Pride of Indonesia's

POI 15 - Typical

The bus passed through various cities and roads, the hour took a half-hour one night when the driver chose to rest at the Rest Area in Cirebon city to enjoy a cup of coffee because both eyes could not stand it, everyone who is still awake starts to go down for snacks and some people wake up because they want to go to the bathroom to urinate.

Henzie slowly opened his eyes as he realized that the bus was not going forward anymore, it might have been his time to rest, he began to stare at the watch in his hand which showed [00:39]. Henzie had just come to his senses when his cheek was leaning against Aditya's left shoulder, his face began to turn red and he raised his head to look at Aditya who was still soundly asleep.

"I-I fell asleep on his shoulder...what would he do...?" Henzie said he started rubbing his eyes and stared at the window, which showed several small houses, as if the driver was resting... Henzie is surprised to see Daisy hugging Aditya's right arm tightly while leaning her head over her shoulders, Daisy's sleeping face even looks comfortable in that embrace.

"N-Miss...?" Henzie did not expect that Daisy would consider Aditya's hand a bolster that he always hugged when in his own room.

Henzie tried his hardest not to wake her up because he had to rush to the bathroom, he could no longer resist the urge to urinate. Henzie began to leave his bus in search of the common Water Closet [WC], inexplicably sleeping for three hours had replenished all the Mana in his body.

A few minutes later, Henzie left the WC while showing a look of relief as he already had no need to hold him back, "I have half an hour to look around first, he said, the bus driver seemed to be drinking his coffee and eating a breakfast that was too early." Henzie.

On the other side, Aditya opened his eyes slowly..He could feel the bus suddenly not moving, "It's up to the Rest Area 'have you...?" Asked Aditya who started looking out the window and saw the writing [City of Cirebon], he also did not forget to look at the clock that showed [00:47].

Aditya's stomach began to sound, "Sial...why is midnight like this my stomach is hungry?" Ask Aditya, he saw Daisy who was hugging his right arm, somehow his arm felt something soft and it was somehow, "Daisy... he looked so good that he held my arm...What is this strange, soft object that is pressing on me? Her clothes 'do they?"

Aditya slowly tries to pull his arm because he wants to get off the bus in search of food, because he is now in Cirebon, he wants to see what special food he can bring and also taste because the shop in the Rest Area is open for 24 hours, aditya's slow movements accidentally wake Daisy up slowly.

"Mmmm...?" Daisy starts rubbing both of her eyes using her left arm then she looks forward and sees the smiling Aditya, "Night... Daisy, can I go now?" Ask Aditya where he can no longer hold back his hunger.

"... ...!!!" Daisy's face began to turn red when she realized that she was asleep hugging her right arm and leaning over her shoulder, was Aditya aware of her or did she not care much about her?

"Daisy... Can you get away? Something soft presses me and that's okay." Aditya.

Daisy's face began to grow increasingly red when she realized that her chest was pressing too much on her arm, "I-I-Yes!" Daisy removes Aditya's arm so that he starts to get up and walks away leaving Daisy without telling himself.

"M-Where are you going, Aditya?" Ask Daisy.

"Hungry..." Answer Aditya.

"I-I'm coming..." Daisy said that she had started following him for fear of being left alone on the dark bus as they walked out through the door... Aditya could see three buses resting in the same Rest Area as him until he could see some passengers as well as three drivers enjoying their coffee.

"Middle of the night like this, a lot of people huh." Said Daisy who started looking around, the temperature at night was also so cold that she smiled as she rubbed her arms as she liked this cold temperature so much, "You like the cold, don't you? Too bad you are now in Indonesia so hot ya." Aditya.

"It's true, too, but I like Indonesia." Answer Daisy.

"I was happy to hear him, I didn't expect one of the Dutchmen to say that in front of me." At least Aditya was happy when he heard him from Daisy, a Dutchman who lives in Indonesia. He does not hold much grudge about the Dutch because Daisy and Henzie themselves already look like the people of Indonesia.

"Dankjewel, Aditya... do you not hold a grudge for my country...?" Ask Daisy in a worried tone.

When in the store, they can see a lot of food that has been neatly packaged, and, all of them look delicious even Aditya can find out some typical Cirebon food because some of his dead friends once invited himself to also introduce himself with a variety of typical foods from each city there are.

"Oh... Aditya, Miss." Henzie looked at those who were awake, Aditya saw Henzie holding a package containing food. 

"Look, from the shape it looks quite unique huh... Maybe I should buy this?" Henzie asked Aditya because he was Indonesian and he certainly knew about the typical Cirebon souvenirs he had just brought, "Ahh. You brought something that felt good."

"Hehhh...? What is the name of this gift exactly?" Henzie asked who started staring at the name of the packaging, "Re... nggi... nang?"

"Respond." Aditya.

"This hornbill has a very savory taste. The savory rengginang and also the crunch of this snack make this snack is a snack that you can bring when visiting the city of Cirebon. You can taste the crispness of this woof as a delicious gift from Cirebon." Aditya's words are able to make them an impression because that's what they expect from Indonesians who know a variety of different typical foods.

"This hornbill has a shrimp, cheese, and terasi taste that is very strong. But you're like her bringing shrimp flavor, good too." Aditya gave his thumbs up and Henzie did not have to hesitate when he wanted to buy it because Aditya had just told him that the food he brought was really tasty and delicious.

After they bought three packs of Rengginang contents, they started visiting food stalls for breakfast as their stomachs continued to sound. Henzie and Daisy are confused by a food that looks quite strange, round shape and even has spots on the white part of it.

"Aditya... What is this?" Daisy asked as she pointed at the food, Aditya who was eating rice with his side dish started to stare at the food Daisy pointed at, "It is Serabi, it is Serabi, one of the traditional foods made from flour that is fed with sugar and eggs is then baked using special molds using embers. The texture of this soft serabi makes this cake a favorite of many people. Of course this food creation is a very appetizing creation."

"W-You know a lot huh...great, is it possible because of your Mana ability that can remember anything and will never forget him?" Ask Henzie.

"Let's know when I eat something I don't know... suddenly my mind started to know what I was eating and I could also figure out how to make it but I didn't because I couldn't cook." Aditya answered who started to continue eating his Rengginang.

"Wahhh, that is the Mana ability that I have as well." Said Daisy.

Henzie and Daisy began to look at the Serabi then he began to eat it slowly so they began to widen their eyes when the taste of the Serabi was quite delicious, "Mmmmm....!!!"

""Lekker~~~""" Dutch from [Enak].

Aditya had just had an idea when he saw the salted fish he had not eaten on his plate, he began to take the salted fish with his spoon and showed it to the two of them, "If this one side dish is very delicious in the city of Cirebon even you can feel the savory aroma in the fish."

"Fried fish to dry, yes...?" Henzie could see him, Daisy began to take him and split him in half to give Henzie, "Then we try to taste it..."

Aditya smiled slightly because this was the first time he had joked with someone for quite a long time, "Just enjoy a very slow bite..."

Daisy and Henzie ate the salted fish with a slow bite, their expressions instantly turning into expressions of disgust as they disliked the salty fish, "A-What is this...?!" Henzie asked with an expression that looked impervious, he immediately took his drink.

"A-Asin..."
