The Perfect Art

Episode 18 The Changing Life

After his affairs were completed, Mbah Gondo immediately resigned because it was late at night. Time passed so quickly that it did not feel it was 21:45 WIB. Joko was still not sleepy, she was still thinking about her Grandfather's words just now, besides that her elbow still felt pain.

"Dad, Ibuk.. Joko is worried about yha.. If Joko is experiencing the same thing as Grandpa how??" ask her on a picture of her father and mother.

"Eh, you can't say that." said Grandpa.

Joko was surprised and said, "Well, Grandpa."

"It's night, you're not sleeping?? Can't you sleep??" ask Grandpa.

"I can't sleep." replied Joko

"Would you eat something first?? It hasn't been anything, has it??"

"Emm, Joko wants nasgor."

"Two special nasgor servings are served immediately" said Grandpa and immediately headed to the kitchen to cook special village fried rice for his grandson.

That was really grandpa, right?? How is it different by its nature?? It's strange.. Inner Joko.

Grandpa was busy cooking in the kitchen. He struggled with cooking utensils for 15 minutes and now two servings of special village nasgor are ready to eat.

"Joko, let's eat!!" call Grandpa.

Joko came out of her room and went to the dining table.

"Well, it smells bad." said Joko and she immediately devoured the nasgor made by her grandfather.

"Yumuuih!! Enyaak Kek." said Joko with a mouth full.

Grandfather chuckled and said, "Nek full mouthe don't talk, ntar sprains."

Joko even grimaced and Grandpa just shook his head to see the behavior of his grandson.

"Oh yes, what if you start the new school year later you change schools in Karangpandan, later you go back to Ki Manteb's house. Won't you??" ask Grandpa on the sidelines to eat.

Joko who was shocked immediately sprained and Grandpa panicked. After quieting down, Joko hesitantly replied, "Emm how about.."

Duh, my feelings are so not good gini yha.. Why did Grandpa suddenly say that, did Grandpa really ngerestuin I made dhalang?? Ask Joko in my heart.

"Yha nek you are not ready yha ndak need first also ndakpapa. Grandpa is not maksa.. Grandpa just wants you to be able to focus more on your lessons, but do not forget to also learn the subject matter" said Grandpa.

Joko mangosteen and thought, Ouh Gustii, is this a dream, yak??? Grandpa actually said it was to Joko.. Alhamdulillah, means Joko really approved..

" Joko wait for Om kalih Bulik first is Kek." replied Joko.

"Oh, okay okay." said Grandpa

***

The next day, Bulik and Om are home. They had just come from out of town because there was a sudden business affair. Unfortunately they missed out on some epic things that are not worth missing.

"Om, Bulik, good morning!" saya Joko is in the house.

"Boyle!" reply Bulik.

"Om the same Bulik tired right?? Joko has prepared warm water and chicken soup for Bulik same Om" said Joko.

"Yes my.. Thanks very much, darling!" say Om.

"Mas, njenengan first gih who took a bath, I want maem sop made my son first." said Bulik.

"Om, Bulik does not need to struggle so deh, even like a child, hehe" said Joko.

Om and Bulik stare at each other and decide to eat together first.

"Hmm, the soup is uenak pol!!" word Om.

"Kok taste of this soup is not foreign yha diidah Bulik.. Super good chicken soup like this is only dad you know Mas can cook" said Bulik.

Waduh, that stuff.. Kok Bulik can know yha, if the soup is cooked Grandpa.. Did Grandpa cook often for Bulik and his late father??? Ask Joko in my heart.

"Lha what??" tanya Om astonished.

"In the past, my mother was often not home, was TKW's mother in China, so the cook was all Mas's father." replied Bulik.

They stared at Joko. Joko was so excited and said that indeed Grandpa who had cooked the soup was special for them. Sontak Om n Bulik stunned in disbelief.

Fathering.. Cooking for us?? There's gonna be something weird about this.. Inner Om.

What a miracle is this, O God.. You restore the figure of the old servant father?? Thank you, thank God. Batin Bulik's.

Subconsciously, their sleepiness and fatigue just disappear. Suddenly Grandpa came to the back room to have breakfast together.

"Can join?? Kayake is exciting." said Grandpa. "Well, are you back?? What time was the house??" ask Grandpa to Om and Bulik while taking the rice and soup.

"Just now Yah. Oh yes, thanks yha already masakin us the best soup in the world." replied Bulik cheerfully.

Uh uh, Bundaaa, how the hell are you.. Kok even looks like that, Joko also smiles from earlier. Am I the only one worried?? Seriously just me?? Ask Om in your heart.

"Thank God, if it's a lot of food, it's a shower and rest. You're tired, aren't you??" said Grandpa.

Bulik nodded like a child.

Duh, this is really just me who is the kek of people****** who do not know anything?? Say Om in your heart again.

"Oh yes, I want to say something serious right now. How about starting the new school year later Joko moved to school in Karangpandan, later all of you go back to Ki Manteb's house. Grandpa just wants Joko to be able to focus more on the same lessons, but also more in learning the subject matter. How do you allow it??" said Grandfather

Again Om and Bulik surprised. Om is screaming in his heart now, while Bulik is really very happy with what his father said just now.

"Yha if Adam ngutnya Ibuknya the Joko aja." replied Om because of confusion.

"Joko, Dad. If Joko wants, we can be sure we support him." replied Bulik.

"Yha Joko can't refuse anymore Kek." replied Joko.

Grandfather smiled proudly at them.

After finishing eating, Om pulls Bulik into the bathroom to ask why Grandpa is acting so sweet today. Bulik replied that such was the true nature of Grandpa, meek and understanding. Grandpa is the type of person who loves his family very much and does not want anything bad to happen to his family. Om still does not understand, why can Grandpa return to acting like that, even though his attitude has changed for a long time. Bulik just guessed that Grandpa was tired of pretending.

***

In the afternoon Grandpa accompanied by Joko, Om, Bulik, and Mbah Gondo went to Ki Manteb's house to realize his wishes.

At his home, Ki Manteb was surprised to see two seniors and his old best friend come to his house with his favorite student. Grandfather explained the purpose of their arrival and Ki Manteb was willing to carry out the task. Ki Manteb did not think that his favorite student was a senior grandson and his best friend first.

From that day on Joko became happier and more proficient in his skills, not to forget he also began to arrange his time to learn school materials and successfully went up to the fifth grade and then to the sixth grade.
