The Garden of Heaven

PART 16'S

Einstein walked side by side with Vivian to the dining table after a cry of her evil cry was heard asking the two for dinner. By the time the two arrived, the dining table had been Umi Salamah, Eyang Aisyah and Father Abdurrahman.

"Change, Papa and Mas Fikri are not yet seen, Mi." asked Einsteina to Umi Salamah who was arranging dishes on the table. then she took a seat with Vivian beside her.

"Abah is filling studies in the next village, if Mas Fikri same Papamu do not know where, pamitnya want to go out. Come on, eat first. Umi made a special dish Pekalonga. Vivian must have never tried, let's try it first. It's megono."

Einstein stared at the large bowl of young jackfruit liqueurs anointed with coconut grated and mixed with the spice with great interest. Without waiting for long the plate is full of a mountain of food complete with tempe mendoan also sambal friednya, making all who saw it shake their heads.

"Great boy, Mi." Cetus Vivian on the sidelines. Umi Salamah smiled in response.

"When Eyang was still living with his parents in Pekalongan, megono became a mandatory menu every breakfast. Eat it anointed to one with delicious rice many times over." Said Eyang Aisyah.

"So the real Pekalongan, huh?" Eyang Aisya smiled and nodded. For some reason tonight Eyang Aisyah often smiles, unlike usual who likes to frown every time she sees Vivian along with her granddaughter. "In addition to this megono in Pekalongan what else is there, Eyang?"

"There's a tetel. It also tastes good, similar to ferocious asem. It's just not using meat, but toel or cowhide instead. Plus with a crumpled noodle use." Clearly Eyang Aisyah.

"Tomorrow Umi make, yes. Let Vivian not be curious." Umi Salamah said making Vivian sad again. Perhaps Umi Salamah forgot that after dinner she and Einstein would return to Jakarta.

"Vivian so stay here, don't you?" asked Father Abdurrahman who had been listening to the conversation at the dinner table, making Vivian look at Einsteina in confusion.

"Tadi Ina said that Vivian stayed here and didn't want to go home." Vivian stomped on Einsteina's foot next to her, causing the owner to complain in pain and glare in disbelief, but Vivian glared back at her in annoyance.

"Didn't be ashamed, after all my grandmother likes someone in nyinyirin if you live here." Einstein said without sin. Vivian really wants to strangle her best friend right now. If Eyang doesn't agree to it, Vivian is also embarrassed. Geblek boy indeed, meaning in the heart

"Umi's happy that Vivian wants to stay here. Also, all this time his granddaughter is not in the house all." Beyond Vivian's expectations, Umi Salamah smiled in agreement.

"Eyang is also happy, nduk. Than you outside his company just like that little boy, it's better if you want to stay here." Said Eyang Aisyah while glancing at Einsteina, but who was glimpsed cuek alone still casually emphasized the contents of the plate.

"It's all told, just now. Stay here, learn as you want. We accept you with open arms." Romo Abdurrahman.

Vivian glanced at Einsteina who was still busy with the contents of her plate. He really wanted to accept the offer, but he remembered his older brother, Albert. He could not have left his brother alone in Jakarta. Vivian lowered her head to bite her lip, thinking about it made her almost cry.

"Don't think about Albert. I've called him earlier, as long as you are happy to be able to forget the past you he said agree with pleasure."

"Have you spoken to my brother?" Vivian barely believed Einsteina's words. Yes, God is made of what the heart of his friend is. Einstein helped her secretly without being asked, just so that Vivian lived a quiet and happy life free from the grudges that had made her life unsettled and suffering. Without feeling the tears Vivian flowed to form a stream of creeks on both cheeks.

"Stop, stop. No need to be so moved. Lo can only be moved if you feel at home here. But I guarantee at most a week before you whine for a reply. You'll know for yourself like how my nose is."

"Yes!" tegur Umi Salamah half amused. Basic atmosphere destroyer. Inevitably Vivian also smiled on the sidelines of the cry of her day.

"Oah, the frivolous boy coral. His own words are ndak-ndak. There go, let Vivian stay here." Throw it away with a contrived angry tone, making everyone smile.
