A formal and quite serious event between Marsha, Abraham, Belva and Sara ended up closing with a dinner together. The menu prepared by Marsha in the form of Bestic Beef seems to be very suitable on the tongue of Sara and Belva. Even the pregnant Miss Sara seemed to enjoy the dishes that had been made by Marsha.
“This is what's the name Sha?” asked Ms. Sara by occasionally chewing her food.
“The name is Bestic Beef, Mom .. I was confused about what to make. It is impossible for me to just fry Lele and make sambal,” reply Marsha with an amused chuckle.
“If you make it, all the rice dong... let it be Pecel Lele Nasi Uduk, it's my favorite,” reply Sara with a laugh.
“Menu food time fight ya Bu?” kekeh Marsha because he remembered that the food was a food that was often eaten by Ms. Sara when it was still there was at zero first.
Ms Sara was laughing even more, “Truly .. you still remember yah?”
“Of course I remember dong, Bu .. We are Bestie,” reply Marsha.
The two families seemed to laugh together, while Elkan looked solemnly accompanying Mira with the Encyclopedia books Mira had. It is not so much, unlike the many books Evan and Elkan and can have one series in its entirety. Mira only has a few.
“You are really serious?” asked Papa Belva to Elkan and Mira who seemed to be sitting together, seen being down together.
“Learn Pa... This Mira read kok,” reply Elkan.
“Ditemenin Miranya learn .. let be smart,” reply Papa Belva.
“Show El ya Pa,” says Elkan.
Hearing Elkan's answer, Papa Abraham's turn to say there, “Enya Brother El is good at well?” tanyakanya.
“Iya dong Om... Elkan has learned to write in school loh Om... only number two and number seven he said Miss (guru) is not neat,” Elkan story.
“Iya Om Bram .. indeed number two and the seven Elkan is not neat. So you have to practice writing a lot yes El .. so be good at kayaking Kak Evan and Papa,” reply Bu Sara.
Indeed, if you look at cognitive intelligence, Miss Sara is nothing. It was completely Miss Sara that she was only a High School graduate, and never felt college. While her husband is a clever and great figure. Evan also grew up to be a smart boy and won 1st place in his class. For that, Mama Sara hopes Elkan will also be as smart as her husband and her eldest son.
“Mama is also good at kok.kan Elkan can read and write taught by Mama at home. I Love U, Mama,” reply Elkan who then scattered and hugged his Mama, for a moment he left Mira to be able to hug his Mama. Although Mama Sara felt she was not smart and great, but for Elkan, her mother was the best and greatest for her.
“But Brother El,” said Mama Sara.
“That Mama ate what Ma?” ask Elkan later.
“This Bestic Beef that cooked Aunt Marsha earlier ... You want, let Mama bribe?”
Elkan nodded his head slowly, “Try a little Ma,” reply Elkan.
Finally the little boy raised his two thumbs and faced Marsha, “Yummy Aunt. Yummy!”
“Thank you Brother El,” reply Marsha with a smile.
Mira who felt left alone finally also approached Mama and Papa. Yes, this 3-year-old little girl, now chooses to sit between Mama and her Papa.
"Mira was left alone" he said in a sulking tone.
"And Mom and Dad are here. So, Mira learns it's okay," Marsha replies.
"Sister El is also the same Mama and Papa kok," he said again.
Finally Elkan laughed, "I'm just a minute away. This is it, want to read another book?" tanyakanya.
"Hmm, will," replied Mira.
Elkan and Mira both read the book first. While the parents still enjoy the Marsha cuisine is really delicious. Sara wants to add more.
"Marsha, sorry .. but your cooking is very good. So, can I add it?" tanyakanya.
Marsha laughed, "Certainly can Miss Sara .. please," she replied.
"Actually for the recipe was Marsha asked Mama Diah anyway Bu. Finally Mama Diah gave the idea to cook Bestic Beef. Coincidentally too, Mas Abraham and I were very fond of Bestik. Moreover, Bestik is in Toko Oen, Semarang," Marsha said.
Yes, as if Marsha wants to share with her neighbors that there is a food that is an acculturation between Dutch and Javanese dishes called Bestik. Good taste and also combined with Nusantara seasoning. Apparently Sara and Belva also really enjoy the cuisine made by Marsha.
"It looks like we have to go to Semarang and try Bestik in Toko Oen it deh Mas" Sara told her husband.
"Yes, can .. of course next year well. Next week we have a baby. Practically, your activities become limited" replied Belva.
Reminded of her baby, Sara realized that she was about to give birth and took Caesar's actions to deliver her baby. What her husband said was right, so her activities would be limited.
Once the dinner was over, they were still chatting together. Of course while Elkan and Mira are still at home together.
"Later to give birth to children entrusted here is okay, Ms. Sara," Marsha told her neighbor.
"Aren't you bothered if I nitip Evan and Elkan?" ask Miss Sara.
"No, ma'am .. When I had this business, I also sent the baby Mira to Ms. Sara. It's okay, Mom," Marsha replied.
Yes, he remembers when Papa Wisesa died, Marsha once left Mira who was a baby to Miss Sara. For that, according to Marsha it does not matter if later Evan and Elkan left in his house.
"Thank you Marsha, later if the boss of the children let me play here. Tomorrow my father-in-law will also come from Singapore. There's Mama and Papa Mas Belva coming and taking care of Evan and Elkan" Sara replied.
"Ready Ma'am," replied Marsha.
Remembering that it was night, then Miss Sara and Mr. Belva also invited Elkan to come home. The next day, Elkan still had to go to school.
"Yuk, El .. we go home first," asked Ms. Sara.
Elkan nodded his head, "Mira, I went home first. Tomorrow play again," said Elkan to Mira.
Although Mira looks sad, but Mira still allows Elkan to go home. "Yes El, tomorrow play again yeah," he replied.
Afterwards Elkan headed to his Mama and there was something he whispered to his Mama. Mr. Belva nodded his head and sent Elkan to the car first. Just a few seconds Elkan had returned and entered Mira's house.
"Mira, this is the Encyclopedia you want. I bought it with Papa. Later you can find blue flowers called Forget me not and Love In Mist. Read well," said Elkan.
How sweet was Elkan's behavior. Just a few days ago, Mira asked about the Encyclopedia that contains information Blue flowers, apparently now Elkan has bought it for Mira. The book was purposely beautifully wrapped with a blue ribbon there.
"Thank you Brother El," replied Mira who was certainly happy with the gift of Elkan.
"Yes, equally. Then, here is another gift for you. Dear you, Mira," said Elkan by giving a pink teddy bear to Mira.
The little boy and getting the doll had definitely made Mira so happy. A smile also spread across his face. "Thank you Brother El, thank you," he replied.
"Help his sister" Belva told Elkan.
Elkan slashed the distance, and then hugged Mira fondly. "I go home firstwell, play again tomorrow" said Elkan.
Marsha and Abraham were just smiling there. A child as small as Elkan can give a surprise in the form of a gift for Mira.
"So El bought himself the same Papa" whispered Sara to Marsha.
"Sweetly," Marsha replied.
"Yes, we say yes. Thanks to everyone. Mira, Mama and Papa go home first. Love U, son," said Miss Sara with a hug Mira.
"Thank you Mama Sara, Papa Belva, and Kak El" he replied.
Getting the binding marks from the Agastya family alone was already a surprise, but apparently Elkan still had another surprise for Mira. An Encyclopedia book and a doll, which Mira certainly liked very much. How could Mira not love, if Elkan who was a child just so dear to her.
