Ride in Bed

Rujak Kangkung

Roxas went into the house with a packet of brownie cookies in his hand for his dearest enin. Before leaving for campus, Enin did ask to buy the cake.

“Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam.”

“Enin, ieu cake block brownies pesenan enin,” Roxas give the parcel in his hand.

“Hatur nohun bageur (thank you, good boy).”

“Which chips, enin?”

“In room.”

The man immediately headed for his room. When he entered he heard the sound of people vomiting from inside the bathroom. Roxas quickly went into the bathroom. Pipit sat in front of the closet. His wife looked weak and her face was pale.

“Honey..” call Roxas while approaching the wife.

“Why you?” ask Roxas again.

“Ngga know. From the morning my stomach was nauseous, eat anything out again."

“You're in the wind times.”

Roxas helps his wife get up and leads her out of the bathroom. He sat Pipit on the side of the bed. Roxas took a tissue and wiped the face of the Pipit wet with water.

“You want me to make you sweet tea?”

“Bby.”

Rushing Roxas out of the room, he headed straight for the kitchen to make some sweet tea. While making drinks, his ears caught someone saying greetings in front of the house. Roxas immediately came out to see who was coming.

“Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam. Uh, Mr. Slamet,” reprimanded Roxas so see the security housing where he lived that came.

“Kang, this was enin nitip ask to buy test pack.”

“Test pack?”

Although still confused, Roxas received the goods given by Slamet. In the white plastic, there are two test packs with two different brands.

“The money is not yet?”

“Already, kang. It's still got the change.”

“Take a pack, change it.”

“Nuhun kang.”

The security guard immediately left the Roxas residence after giving the enin order. Roxas went inside while watching the package in his hand.he approached enin who was still enjoying the brownie block cake.

“Enin was mywarang pak Slamet meser test pack (enin was told pak Slamet buy test pack?”

“Muhun.. cigana mah neng Pipit teh tos euisan (iya, kanya Pipit already filled).

Roxas's eyes sparkled at Enin's explanation. The man went to the kitchen to get the drink he had made. He immediately brought a drink and a package containing a test pack into the room. It turned out that Enin was already in the room accompanying Pipit who was still sitting limp on the mattress.

“Honey, this is try your test first. Enin word maybe you are pregnant,” said Roxas while giving a package in his hand.

Pipit took the parcel from Roxas' hand, then headed straight for the bathroom. Roxas stood in front of the bathroom, then paced back and forth. Sometimes he bit his fingers. Her heart fretted waiting for Pipit to come out of the bathroom.

“Ai Aep pacing ironing cost wae, matak lieur ka eninna. Miss calik in dieu cakeut enin. Da neng Pipit mah about kamana-anya atuh (Aep pacing rich iron, so dizzy enin. Sitting here near enin, Pipit also won't go anywhere).”

Only a grin was thrown Roxas heard his enin prostration. The man sat next to Enin. His eyes continued to look at the bathroom door that was still closed. Not long after the door opened, Roxas immediately woke up to his wife.

“Where to love?”

No answer from Pipit. The woman submitted the test pack. With a pounding heart Roxas took the pregnancy test kit. His eyes sparkled at the positive sign of the thing in his hand.

“Alhamdulillah!” roxas shouted loudly.

The man immediately lifted his wife's body then spun several times to express his happiness. Several times Pipit landed a blow on the shoulder of the husband, a sign asking him to stop the action. Roxas finally stops and lowers his wife.

“Thank you dear, mmmuuuaaccchh.”

After lifting his body, now a kiss was given by the man. Pipit just closed his eyes, resisting the sudden nausea. He then pushed Roxas' body away.

“Why baby?” roxas asked confusedly.

“You don't come near, I'm nauseous. There out!”

Roxas was obviously surprised to hear Pipit's words. Enin just smiled hearing that. He got up from his seat, then took Roxas out of the room. Not forgetting he asked his granddaughter-in-law to drink the sweet tea that Roxas had made.

“Enin.. naha Pipit right? (enin, why are Pipits so?),” asked Roxas as soon as they were outside the room.

“Pregnant mother is usually very smart. Sok geuleuh ningali salaki (usually pregnant women like it so. Like see husband).”

“Hah?”

Roxas's mouth gaped at Enin's words. He had thought he could sleep alone on the bed hugging after getting happy news. It turned out to be the eviction he got. Back when Dewi got happy news about her pregnancy, she even looks so spoiled on Aditya. Why is his fate different. The man scratched his non-itchy head.

🌸🌸🌸

Three days after finding out his wife was pregnant, Pipit did not want to be approached by Roxas. He can safely approach Pipit if the woman is already asleep. Everyday Roxas spends his time at the campus as well as his coffee shop. Even his wife's order food is more often delivered using online ojek services.

“Oii prospective father, bengong mulu!”

Roxas's daydreams are crumbling when he hears the Goddess's voice. The newlyweds were already sitting in front of him. So cool to daydream, he did not realize the arrival of Adrian also Goddess.

“Why mang?” adrian asked with a smile.

“I was expelled kept the same Pipit. She doesn't want to get near me.”

“Hahaha... pity beud omku this one,” Dewi can not hold back his laughter.

“Feelings first time you got pregnant not rich gini deh. Why fit my baby who is pregnant ribet very.”

“Where charity-puzzlement, mang. Hahaha.”.

Adrian's laughter broke to see his uncle's disheveled face. The goddess could not help her laughter either. It is inconceivable, if Pipit does not want to be approached during pregnancy, then nine months he must fast to resist his desire. Roxas will be turning into a solo vocalist.

“Sabar aja, mang. Usually the rich are just in early pregnancy, said the already experience,” said Adrian.

“Eh but Farah's bu time pregnant she said for nine months she did not want to be near her husband loh.”

“Wuaduh..what a sin Roxas yes, Allah,” Roxas raised both his hands like he was praying.

“Hahaha..”.

Only laughter was heard when Roxas prayed ala Baim. Since the beginning of marriage, the man has been eager to have offspring. When Pipit finally became pregnant, the wife was reluctant to be approached by him. Roxas can only stroke the chest. May the test of life be over soon.

🌸🌸🌸

Early in the morning at the Roxas residence, Pipit, enin and the man were having breakfast together. Roxas deliberately took a seat away from Pipit. After checking with the obstetrician, his wife was given nausea medication. Pipit can finally eat even though the portion is not much.

The woman looked at her husband who was eating his breakfast. If she saw Roxas from a distance like this, she felt compassion for her husband. But if Roxas comes near, he's upset. It was fortunate that Roxas continued to be patient with this strange attitude of his.

“Mas,” call Pipit.

“Iya, why darling?”

“Later noon I want to eat fried chicken, fried tempeh same rujak kale.”

“You want me to spend, baby?”

“Ngga. I want a cooking mas. The chicken is yellow seasoning, must be its own mas ngulek, can not buy so the spice. The fried tempeh is also. do not forget the kale.”

“Kale prawns with fried chicken what season?”

“Hape mas good right?”

“Lumayan.”

“Can be made for searching right?”

“Can.”

“Ya have asked me aja mbah gugel, so just kok bothered.”

Pipit ended his meal and left the table. Roxas just gawked at his wife's first cravings. He looked at Enin, hoping that the old woman would help him. But Roxas had not yet asked Enin, Pipit's voice was heard again.

“Awas not brave enough enin, mba Ida, or bi Lisa!”

Roxas's mouth immediately clenched again hearing Pipit's words. Enin just giggled to see the face of the grandson who was confused. Finished breakfast, Roxas rushes to the market to buy chicken, kale, tempeh and seasoning to make it all.

Roxas parked his vehicle in the parking lot, then immediately entered the market that is usually used as the location of the shooting of retired thugs. He immediately headed for the chicken seller who was in the inner part of the market.

“Meser naon casep? (buy what's handsome?).”

“Ayam sekilo, bu.”

“Combined chest with thighs?”

“Iya, can.”

The merchant immediately weighed the chicken and cut it into twelve pieces. He stuffed the chicken into a white plastic bag, gave it salt and a fresh lime squeeze then tied it up. Roxas immediately paid for the chicken he bought, then headed for the merchant who sold the vegetables.

The man pickled the fresh kale, then took it as much as two ties. Then his eyes were fixed on the kitchen spices and also other materials displayed in front of him. He had already recorded what materials he had to buy.

“Bu, onion beureum, onion bodas, laja, coneng, ginger, cuttlefish, greetings, lemongrass, cucumber, pepper pokona seasoning kitchen we, bu (bu, onion, garlic, galangal, turmeric, ginger, kencur, greetings, lemongrass, coriander, pepper, just seasoning the kitchen deh).”

The merchant immediately weighed the ingredients that Roxas mentioned earlier. Fortunately, he knew the names commonly used for cooking, because he had asked him to shop first. But he did not know the usefulness of each of those kitchen spices.

“Cabe beureum, whine, tomato, asem, and roycona bu (red chili, cayenne pepper, tomato, asem and royconya).”

“Mango (ok).”

“Tempe aya, ma'am? (tempe no bu?).”

“Aya, bade sabaraha board? (there, how much do you want board?).”

“Hiji we, mom. Eh and sugar beureumna (one day, ma'am. Same as brown sugar).”

Arriving at home, Roxas headed straight for the kitchen. He immediately contacted Dewi to give her a cooking tutorial. The woman was not on the Pipit ban list. Actually he can see in gugel or utube. But the man preferred to trouble his friend and nephew. While wearing her apron, she waited for Dewi to answer her video call.

“Assalamu’alaikum,” face Goddess directly meet the mobile phone screen.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Roxas put his phone with a standing position propped up on the spoon as a buffer.

“Apaan?”

“Wi.. bini I again crave masakin fried chicken, tempe fried same rujak kale.”

“Rujak kale?”

“Iya, you know how not to make it?”

“Ya search for aja in gugel.”

“Lo is the one looking for. Ribet me, want to make fried chicken first.”

“Ngerjain aja.”

“Bodo.”

Dewi immediately looked for the recipe of kale rujak on her phone. While waiting for the Goddess to find the recipe in question, Roxas cleans the chicken first. He then prepared to make fried chicken seasoning.

“Wi, what fried chicken seasoning is it?”

“Turn bought the already so.”

“Kaga can be the same Pipit. Must ngulek himself he said.”

“Buset, sadistic very.”

“What's the season.”

“Breds, garlic, turmeric, galangal, ginger, coriander. Blended for cepet.”

“Ngga can, should be ridden.”

“Buset is really sadistic. Yes ulek sono.”

Roxas peeled off the ingredients that the Goddess mentioned earlier. But just peeling the three red bottom cloves, he again asked the Goddess.

“This how many bring it?”

“About yourself. He said the red onion was twice the amount of garlic. If the garlic is two, the onion can be four, five or six.”

The man just nodded his head. He immediately peeled four cloves of garlic, twelve cloves of onion, ginger, galangal and turmeric. After washing it clean, he put it all into the cobek.

“Lecturer killer has come, continue later yes. Just apply all the ingredients.”

The goddess immediately disconnected the connection. Roxas continued his work, mengolek chicken seasoning that was mentioned by the Goddess. After a long struggle to smooth the seasoning accompanied by sincere affection, Roxas again contacted his best friend. After three calls, the new Goddess answered her call.

“Udah sorted the lecturer?”

“Udah, just doang duty. Did you finish doing it?”

“Udah.”

“The same rooster keeps adding water, ungkep. Don't forget to love garem same boyke.”

“Boyke?”

“Iya. Boyke chicken yes don't cow.”

“Royco, PEA!” pissed Roxas.

“Elah is wrong doang, hahaha.”

“Basic kampret.”

The Goddess continued to laugh at the swearing from Pipit's husband. Roxas follows the direction of the Goddess, inserts herbs, chickens and gives water into the pot, then puts it on the stove. Don't forget he put salt and chicken flavoring in.

“Once stirred so that the season is flat,” said Dewi.

“Iya.”

“Well now ready for the kale. Do not pick yes, cut rich to make lotek.”

Roxas continued to follow the direction of the Goddess. The man cut off the two bundles of kale he bought earlier, washed and drained them. This time he prepared the ingredients for his concoction.

“Cabe red, whiny, steamed shallots, boiled can also be anyway. But if boiled a lot of water, mending steamed aja.”

“How many cabs?”

“Kira own.”

The man just nodded his head. He prepared the ingredients that the Goddess had mentioned earlier. After washing it clean and cutting it, he put it in a heat-resistant plastic container.

“Eh.. Have you cooked rice yet? Finished food tar, the rice does not exist.”

As a lover of rice, Dewi is obliged to remind Roxas of this. And his worries proved. The man forgot to cook the rice. He immediately took out the magic com container, filled it with rice then washed it.

“That's the ingredients steamed in magic com alone with rice.”

“Later it pedes.”

“Ya use container. There's a sieve, taro the container on the sieve. That's how much you're getting.”

The sound of hiss upset Roxas when Dewi softened him. He did what the goddess said. Now he'll be frying tempeh soon. After cutting into pieces, he prepared the water soaking tempe.

“Create tempeh what season?”

“Garem am boyke aja practical.”

“Boyke deui boyke deui.basic Markonah.”

Instead of being angry, the Goddess laughed at Roxas's passing. The man prepared the soaking water, then put tempeh into it. The goddess again ended the call, feeling that her task was done.

Secretly Pipit peeked at the busyness of her husband who was struggling in the kitchen. There was a rush in his heart to see Roxas struggle to make his ordered food. The woman went back into the room, when she saw Roxas turn his back.

Forty minutes later, the rice was ripe. The chicken that was revealed was ripe, as well as the kale had been boiled. Now just stay to fry chicken and tempeh and make spice rujak.

Satisfied, Roxas saw the chicken and fried tempeh that had been beautifully arranged on the plate.The man again contacted Dewi to ask for kale spice rujak. This time it was not only the face of the Goddess, but Adrian was also already beside the woman.

“Wi.. what spice is it?”

“That was steamed. Later add red sugar, garem, asem same terasi burn.”

“Wokeh.”

Roxas put the ingredients he steamed earlier into the cobek. After staining it, he added brown sugar and salt. Before adding the asem, he first opened a small pack of terasi.

“Wi.. This terrace must be burned?”

“In the recipe it is.”

“Burn where? Time should find areng first.”

“Jeez dongo beud. Stay on the stove, stitch the stitch in the fork and hold the heatin to the fire, beres.”

“Buset, basic ponakan durhakim ngatain me dongo seakan.”

“Kalo is not dongo what is its name. Terasi burn time use areng all. Just use firewood,” cerocos Dewi does not want to lose.

“Hahaha..”.

Roxas's feelings grew irritated to see Adrian who laughed loosely hearing her debate with the Goddess. The man immediately did as the Goddess said. After burning the terrace on the stove, he put it into the cobek. It is re-pulled with finished spices and then added asem. Sambal rujak kale finally settled too.

“Beres. Why is your face still nongol aja in mari?” roxas's eyes look at the phone screen.

“Jiaaahhh basic shucks who forgot the same skin.”

The goddess immediately ended the call before Roxas's burst was heard again. Roxas immediately arranged the food he had made to the dining table. He removed the apron that was stuck to his body, then knocked on the door of his room.

GECK

GECK

GECK

“Sayaaaang.cooking is ready.”

Not long after the door opened. Pipit out then take enin to the dining table. Roxas who was still standing in front of the door of the room was left just like that. The man rushed over to his wife and enin. Roxas took the rice and the side dish into the dish and gave it to Pipit.

“How does it feel?” roxas asked worriedly.

“Lumayan.”

That was the only answer that came out of Pipit's mouth. Enin just stumbled to see the face of his grandson who was like folding paper. They enjoyed the food quietly.

After eating, enin immediately went to the bathroom. He wants to commit ablution to perform dzuhur prayer. Roxas was still tidying up the dirty dishes they had eaten and taking them to the kitchen. He washed the dirty dishes. The man squealed as he felt a hug from behind.

“Please yes, dear. Make me lunch. It feels good kok.”

A smile rose on Roxas' face. His hard work paid off already with the sweet greeting of the wife accompanied by her warm embrace. He hurriedly finished the job of washing it. As he turned around, Pipit held him back.

“Ngga try to get back, gini aja. I'm males look at your face.”

Astaghfirullah. gusti sing dibere kasabaran. Other seagrasses are served, mun teu nyaah, geus drendos and spice rujak (Yes God gave me patience. If not a wife, if not dear, already dikulek with spice rujak).

Roxas complies with Pipit's request. He held the wife's hands resting on her stomach. Just hugging from behind, she was already grateful. Easily through the first trimester, the attitude of the wife changes.
