Santri Famiglia's

Cheese Cassava

With his innocent face, Sanubari was waiting for an answer. A light smile without burden adorned his face. The adults were amazed with the boy who held a cut of cassava tree trunk range of one meter still complete with leaves.

"What's the cassava tree for, Sanu? If you want to wear it for Scout sticks, obviously it can't be used. The trunk is too fragile" Sanum explained as he looked at Sanubari.

Sanubari shook his head and replied, "I want to plant it there so we have a cassava plantation. You can eat cassava every day."

A sinless whimper puffed up just like that on a typical Eurasian mixed face. He wanted to go abroad but the first thing he thought about was cassava. It seemed that in his brain right now there was nothing other than cassava seedlings that he wanted to bring along. Money did not cross his mind at all. It is the simple thought of a child. Unlike the adults who had worried about things.

"Young master, you can buy the seeds there if you want to plant cassava. No need to bring from home," said Kelana.

Again Sanubari shook his head and replied, "I must carry it. First, I don't know if there are cassava trees in Italy or not. Second, I don't know where to buy cassava seedlings in Italy. Third, I don't have the money to buy the seed."

"God! This kid could have thought that far only for cassava. His father's cheese, his son's cassava, "inner Kelana. The chant of the old song immediately rotated in Kelana's mind as a background song, "ah! I remember the legendary song 'Keju and Singkong' by Ari Wibowo. You little cassava boy!"

The legendary song from the band 'Bill and Brod' is quite old. However, there are still some people who like and still often listen to it. The song is like a mandatory song for the Kelana family. His family lives in Italy. However, the song 'Keju and Singkong' has always been introduced from generation to generation without interruption. As Indonesian citizens living in foreign lands, they never forget their own culture. They are not nuts that forget their skin.

"You can buy it with your papa's money. I will help to find out where to get cassava seedlings," persuaded Kelana so that Sanubari would give up on his idea.

However, once again Sanubari refused, "If anything is certain, why take the uncertain? Yes, in Italy there are cassava. If there is none? Yeah not so grow cassava dong?"

Sanum did not understand what his son was thinking. He was saddened by Sanubari's attitude. All this time Sanubari did not want to ask for anything. Just this time the boy revealed his will freely.

"Well, can you, uh, take the plants on the plane?" sanum said it wasn't nice.

Suddenly Aeneas said, "At the cosa state discutendo? Sanubari trasporta un albero?"

(What are you discussing? Why did Sanubari bring a tree?)

"Voleva portare l'albero in Italy and piantarlo yes. Ho provato a fermarlo ma comunque prenderlo".

(He wanted to bring the tree to Italy and plant it. I tried to ban him but he still wanted to take him.)

Aeneas smiles. He thinks that Sanubari is a unique boy. Aeneas did not want to limit the child's creativity.

"Papa smile. Does that mean I can take this tree?"

"Fai quello che vuole, Lan! Finche va bene, non devi chiedermelo."

(According whatever he wants, Lan. As long as it's good, you don't have to ask me.)

Aeneas was envious of Kelana being able to communicate directly with her son and wife. Maybe after this he also had to learn Indonesian in order to talk to them. Aeneas also wanted to be able to chat with Sanubari occasionally. It seems like interacting with the child is interesting.

"Capito, signore."

(Understand, Sir.)

Kelana catch her breath. "What can I do. You can take him. I'll take care of the quarantine letter so I can take it to the plane."

"Horay!" Sanubari.

"Is it really okay?" Sanum is still worried.

"Just calm! As long as it has received permission, plants can be taken aboard a plane," Kelana explained.

"It's okay. Mr. Aeneas wants this too."

"Oh," Sanum responded briefly, glancing at Aeneas, who smiled, and then extended a hand to Sanubari, "dagger and the tree, San! Let me clean it up!"

Sanubari handed over the tree and the dagger he had brought to his mother. The woman cut the tree trunk into pieces. Pieces after pieces fell to the ground when the dagger was held.

"Loh loh? How'd my tree get chopped?" sanubari protest while looking at pieces of cassava tree trunk.

"You don't need the shoots that still have leaves," said Sanum, putting a dagger to the table and picking up a few pieces of stem lying on the ground, "this part can be planted."

Sanum gave Sanubari three pieces of long-range rods of twenty centimeters. The boy was happy to receive it. After that they left the house. Sanum and Sanubari say goodbye to the Arti family and join Kelana and Aeneas.

Sanubari sat in the middle seat flanked by his father and mother. From the middle, he could see the condition of the streets. Not far from the car they were riding in, Sanubari saw a figure he seemed to recognize.

Slowly, slowly the car pulled over. The car stopped right next to the young man standing by the roadside. He got out of the car to greet the young man. While Sanubari was watching from behind the glass of a dark film car while remembering.

"You, Jin?" He stood in front of the young man.

"Yes. So, this Uncle is Kelana?" Jin shook the hand of the man who was much older than him.

"I didn't think he'd recommend a young man like you to me."

"Don't worry! Uncle can count on me. I happen to be on vacation in the area. Maybe that's why we were found, too" jin sloroh.

"Yes, I believe. There's no way a perfunctory person would be recommended to Mr. Aeneas."

"The big boss is here?" The car's glass is too dark, Jin can't see inside. People from inside can see outside. However, the glass did not let outsiders look in to see the contents.

"Yes, don't make them wait any longer! Let's go!" take Kelana who then entered the car ended the chat.

Jin gets into the steering wheel in Kelana's place. He drove off and greeted Aeneas in English.

"Good afternoon, Sir Gafrillo! I'm so sorry to keep you waiting."

(Good day, Mr Gafrillo! Sorry for keeping you waiting)

Aeneas replied, "It's alright."

(No problem.)

"It's an honor for me to achieve you today."

(It is an honor for me to be able to accompany you today.)

Jin doesn't speak Italian. He can only make his best efforts in English to communicate. The opportunity to guide a big boss like this is extremely rare. Jin should be able to make the most of this opportunity.

Actually he was a little curious as to why the big boss seemed to be traveling alone without bodyguards. His appearance today also looks very relaxed. Surprisingly again, there was a boy who a few days ago he was interrogated. Want to ask, this is not the right time.

At the same time, fragments of Sanubari's memory a few days ago began to form intact. He remembered the man who was driving the car.

"Oh!" sanubari's jolt rounded his eyes and mouth, "Uncle the Good Kidnapper!"
