The Light of Love Salma

The Light of Love Salma
The Rambutan Tofu Balls



Salma walked in doubtful steps looking for where the kitchen was, because this was the first time Salma entered the house it was only natural that Salma did not know where the kitchen was.


"Mom!" salma rebukes a santri who happens to pass by her side.


"Yes, why Ma'am?" the Sahut Santri.


"Where is the kitchen?" ask Salma.


"Bak can walk straight there and keep turning left, there lies the kitchen," pointed Santri.


"Thank you Ma'am" said Salma who was responded with a nod and a smile that looks fluffy on Santri's face.


Salma walked towards the place that had been shown by the Santri. And sure enough he found a kitchen that was already crowded with some people who were cooking and cleaning the kitchen.


"Excuse me!" reprimand Salma when he saw there were some people who were busy with their respective work.


"Yes, what's wrong with you?" tell one of the people who was there.


"Know my name is Salma, I want to ask permission to cook here, because Alif uh I mean Mas Alif asked me to make him orange juice and snacks," salma said after being silent for a long time.


"Oh please! Ma'am Salma can use the cookware over here. And the ingredients are in the cupboard over here." Point at someone who looks a little old with his friendly smile.


"Oh yes, until you forget, introduce my name Darmi, Nak Salma can call me Mbok Darmi," continued the woman who turned out to be named Mbok Darmi.


"Thank you for being told Mbok" Salma said, showing a smile towards Mbok Darmi.


"Sama-sama, oh yes, Mas Alif does not like the juice too sweet, so just two tablespoons of sugar alone," said Mbok Darmi who did not want Salma to get a tantrum from Alif.


"Well, thank you for telling me," salma said gratefully because there are still good people who want to tell him so that Salma can get a compliment open diatribe from Alif who is a boy but has a Kafa mouth.


One problem was over, Salma already understood what he had to make and now just had to make a snack that Alif might like, Salma walked to the food storage in the refrigerator, and now she just had to make a snack, there are various kinds of food ingredients are also available there, there are, Salma continued to pay attention to what ingredients can be cooked and Salma attention was focused on yellow noodles and flour and eggs plus tofu in the refrigerator.


"How about I make the balls know for Alif and Kafa" said Salma.


Deftly Salma took all the necessary materials and then began to manage them with a full heart, Salma's spirit continued to blaze until finally became the balls know rambutan, the, the snacks that Ibu Salma usually prepare every time they have a holiday do not sell and enjoy a relaxing time together.


"What did you do Salma?" asked Mbok Darmi who just came, it seems he just finished cleaning elsewhere, seen from the lap and the bell in his hand.


"It just so happens that Mbok Darmi is coming, here Mbok! cobain Salma cuisine, tell ya how it tastes? delicious or not," invite Salma who now began to prepare sauce sambal and mayonnaise also balls tofu rambutan that he has cooked for Mbok Darmi.


"Emmn, it tastes good Salma," said Mbok Darmi.


"Alhamdulillah if it is delicious, I hope Nas Alif likes it," said Salma, currently Salma calls Alif with the call of Mas because he knows the jila in this pesantren Alif called Mas because he is the son of Umik Wardah and Mbok Darmi also others would not know if Salma candidate from Kafa Kak Umik Wardah, was Ummi only introduced Salma to relatives and guests but had not had time to introduce Salma to the people who helped Umik Wardah in his house.


"Mas Alif does not like tomato sauce, but he prefers sambal and mayonise sauces," Mbok Darmi again told what he likes and dislikes by Alif.


"Loh is not the sauce spicy Mbok, is Mas Alif not pesesesan later?" asked Salma who was hesitant about what Mbok Darmi told her.


"Mas Alif does love Salma spicy food" replied Mbok Darmi dispelling the doubts seen on Salma's face.


"It's appropriate that the mouth is spicy, the food is spicy even though it is still small is already craving spicy food," lirih Salma who only heard by himself but Mbok Darmi who has a sharp hearing faintly heard it.


"What did you say Salma was?" ask Mbok Darmi.


"No Mbok, I didn't say anything" Salma didn't want Mbok Darmi to know he was swearing at Alif who was none other than his teacher's daughter.


"Then Salma said yes Mbok," said Salma did not want to continue to discuss food with Mbok Darmi, because if that happens then the snacks that are cooked Salma will be cold and will not be good at eating.


"Hm" said Mbok Darmi briefly.


Salma walked towards Alif's room with high confidence and a flaming spirit, she was sure that Alif and Kafa would definitely like her.


"Assalamualaikum" Salma said after arriving at Alif's room.


"Waalaikum salam" said Alif and Kafa almost simultaneously.


"This is the snack and orange juice that Alif ordered!" salma said gently while giving a tray containing one plate size is quite large with a small bowl containing sauce sambal and mayonaise, and two glasses of orange juice order Alif.


"What food is this?" alif asked with a frown, he looked so confused with the food in front of him at this time because this was the first time he saw the food that Salma had loaded.


"This is the name of the balls tofu rambutan, in the first try new comments Alif!" salma said with a smile that was still visible even though in her heart there was a conspiracy of its own when she saw Alif staring lightly at the food she had just made with a shrunken forehead.


"Did Kaka ever eat food like this?" Alif was hesitant to eat it.


"Not yet, but Brother will eat it, who knows it tastes good," replied Kafa. Actually Kafa knows if Salma is good at cooking because several times he ate Salma dishes and everything Salma cooked tasted good.


Alif who heard Kafa's answer began to pick up and try the food that Salma had just prepared, Alif's expression was illegible when he put the food in his mouth.
