The Hidden Flavor

The Hidden Flavor
A mother and grandchild



"Home from the Garden was Ayoe why.said the mother was Ayoe came home dirty as smelly.." Mas Iyan asked Me while we were all gathering for dinner.


"Start dehh. .you will want to chew on Ayoe again right.."


"New people in disaster open in bantuin even in ledekin.." Sebal Ku when Mas Iyan asked and can be seen if all of them hold back laughter maybe because I remember Ku this afternoon when I came home from Kebun Mas Iyan.


"Loh Mas Iyan did ask. .whether anyone jailin you or how let Mas comein his people.." Said Mas Iyan who either meant to worry or just just mocked me only.


"Yes already there Mas comein aja soang2 that is in the rice field.." Answer me ketus.


"hahH .ko soang.." Wonder with my words.


"Yes soang. .karna those who have made Ayoe jatoh into the rice fields so dirty and smelly plus tires as dissected Dad bent.." My words are getting worse considering the incident earlier.


"HhahHa.so you're in sosor soang.." Say it while laughing at Me and his regret is not only Mas Iyan but all. .Father, Auntie, Mamang who laughs at me is the Ice Cube just a smile while looking at me.


"Puas2in dehh y'all ketawain Ayoe.." I'm angry at them.


"Aduhhhh that time is angry.If angry later Ayoe cepet old if old cepet later no one wants, Daddy is keen to have a ghost as carrying grandchildren.." Said the Father who teased me.


"Ighhhh This father what the hell.Porang still kuliah ko even already a grandson material, rather than asking Ayoe mending to ask the same Mas Iyan that already pantes..." Reply I divert to Mas Iyan.


"Wahhhh means Ayoe will have Kaka cwe dong. .than having Kaka cwo whose work is menggeledekin continues.." Said I insinuate Mas Iyan.


"Whoever gets married first will remain We must be happy because it means We as parents successfully deliver children2 until you get married and our responsibilities as parents are also finished. .you 2 also inshaAllah get a good partner and love you guys until death separates.."


"Aamiin.." Answer all on Mamang's advice and wishes to Ku and Mas Iyan


"But if Mamang really feels that married first is like Ayoe first.." Said Mamang back who came to mock me.


"Yes Dad also felt that Dad would not have a ghost in a long time.." Father's speech justifies Mamang's speech.


"Ighhhh what the hell is this father.." Somehow I feel annoyed and embarrassed because I see how my family continues to mute Me.


"Oya ngomon2 tomorrow morning Daddy, Bibi and Mamang want to go to Village K to attend Khitanan his son Pak Lurah so than you get tired of mending Ayoe take Nak Raka street2 around the Village. .kan time Nak Raka stayed here only at home helping Dad accompany and take care of Mom only so later Ayoe took Nak Raka jalan2 yahh.." Said the Father who now I know that at that time the Ice Stone joined Dad to the Village not because of work but help Dad look after the mother who was sick.


Knowing that all of My heart warmed even though I was still confused about why they kept Mother's illness a secret to Me.


As the day progressed here I could see and feel his change in Ku who was the concern and care of his Ice Cube which was not only to Me but also to my family. It makes me feel comfortable and warm up when it's near her.


And maybe later We are 2 I will ask why he can change his attitude to Me and why he also hides his pain Mother to Me.
