“How does it feel, Alea? Cute?”
“Enak, Mah. Alea likes.”
The beautiful woman at an age that was no longer young was smiling little. After being lonely at home because there were no friends like before, now he has friends to chat and share. Who else if not the eldest, Alea Ananta Rumi. Nathan's wife has been a friend since morning to chat and share Gea on various topics, ranging from work, hobbies, economic issues, to the culinary world.
Because it was just the two of them, Alea ventured to open the face cover in front of the in-laws when offered to taste. Gea was stunned by the beauty of the daughter-in-law who was very beautiful. It turned out that his son had actually found a treasure trove of world and hereafter jewels.
“Eat again his Bandung shake noodles, dear.”
Alea nodded with a smile. Currently he is enjoying one of the typical Bandung foods, namely Bandung whipped noodles. That loh, flat-shaped noodles mixed with various kinds of vegetables, bean sprouts, and additional cow pebbles.
So why name the whipped noodles? The answer is because before serving, the noodles and the mixture are stirred and shaken.
In addition to Bandung shakes, Gea also made colenak for Alea. That loh, sweet-tasting food made from cassava tape or peuyeum that is burned, then watered with a mixture of Javanese sugar and coconut grater.
Besides the colenak, there is also misro. Friends combro—oncom in jero. Misro is short for fish in jero, aka sweet inside. Misro is made from a cassava grater that is filled with brown sugar, then fried. When the middle is bitten, the brown sugar that becomes the filling will melt.
“Mama equals Zaujati (my wife) what are you doing?” the question coming from the handsome man who had just entered the room managed to attract the attention of the two.
“Eat Bandung shake noodles. Want to?” sahut the wife after diving into the husband.
“Bby.” Nathan replied after peeping his wife's forehead. It also does not forget to greet the mother, and kiss the back of her hand.
“Then let me prepare for a moment. Coincidentally Mamah made her Bandung shake noodles a lot.”
The handsome man who wore white cocoa clothes with dark blue sarong subordinates shook his head while glancing at the wife's bowl. “Eat that only.”
“Eh?”
“You don't like eating bean sprouts, so let me spend.”
Alea was still silent when Nathan pulled out a bowl of Bandung shaken noodles that left a few flat noodles, a pile of bean sprouts, and a few pieces of pebbles and vegetables. Alea did not really like eating bean sprouts, so he set aside the vegetables.
“If you want, Mamah can get a new one,” proposes Gea, open the sound.
Nathan shook his head. “I spent this one,” he said while taking over the spoon that was used by his wife. In one spoonful, a pile of bean sprouts with a whipped noodle sauce quickly moved into Nathan's mouth, after the handsome man read do’a before eating of course.
Gea who saw that could only smile a little. While Alea could only stare at the husband who looked greedy spent the rest of his Bandung shake noodles without a sound.
“Enak?” asked Gea when she saw the son greedily enjoying his homemade bandung whipped noodles.
Nathan nodded while wiping his lips using a dry tissue. “Enak once.”
Gea smiled widely. “And you only eat the same sauce. If you are still less just take it again in the kitchen.”
Nathan shook his head. “The same bean sprouts are delicious too, Mah. After all Nathan likes bean sprouts, if Zaujati (my wife) does not like. So, I helped spend.”
Gea laughed gracefully at the son's words. He could see his daughter-in-law also blushing in embarrassment. “Tauge it's many benefits loh. Reporting from healtline, bean sprouts contain iron, vitamin C, and zinc, so as to prevent anemia, can help boost immunity, prevent heart disease, prevent prostate cancer, overcome impotence, and so on, until can improve the quality of ******. Hence some parents like to serve bean sprouts as a side dish for their newly married children, so as to quickly get offspring.”
The newlywed couple sitting side by side in front of Gea responded wrongly. Nathan coughed, while Alea with a red clover in the face tried to give her water and a soft pat on the husband's back. Seeing the reaction of his son and son-in-law, Gea became suspicious. No wind, no rain. How did the son and daughter-in-law suddenly misbehave?
“Seeing the reaction of the two of you, Mamah became curious about one thing. What ....you intend to delay having momongan?”
Getting a question with a topic that is quite “um” thrown for the newlyweds, making Nathan and Alea both turn their heads. For a moment, they communicate through eye contact.
“No, Mah.”
“Not for what, Bang?”
Gea's smile that had drowned, rose again so warmly. “Mamah was very happy to hear that. Mamah has deg-deg-an. Mamah thinks you will delay to have a baby, whereas Mamah wants to quickly have grandchildren so that the house is crowded with baby cries.”
Nathan turned to his wife as he reached for his right palm. “Hopefully Allah will immediately deposit sustenance on the womb of Zaujati (my wife). I'm also impatient.”
Gea assures with great seriousness. The mother of two then re-opened her voice. “If Mamah can request, you do not only have one child. Pity your children if you have no brothers. You see Mamah also knows what it's like to be an only child, it's not fun. Alea also must know what it feels like.”
Alea nodded. “Iya, Mah. An only child is not always fun. Thank God, Alea has many brothers and sisters who are the same age.”
Although born as an only child—because his sister candidates fall in the womb—Alea never really feel lonely, because in the Radityan family he has a brother and sister who are the same age. Starting from Arsyad, Arra, Davin, Davian, Diano or Aroon, Astronaut, Space, Space, Alaska, Aurora, Dawn, Dusk, to Arion. That's just two Radityan and Pradipta. There were still Alea's brothers and sisters out there. However, so far so thick bonded brotherhood is the descendants of Radityan and Pradipta above. Especially with Van,’ar, Galaxy, and Star children.
“Therefore, you must have more than one child.”
“However, being a parent is not easy, Mah,”. “The old man bears the responsibility of a lifetime. That means it won't break up, unless it has breathed its last.”
Gea agreed with the son. However, being a parent is the dream of most humans. Although being a parent is not easy, it does not mean that being a parent is a difficult responsibility to do. Every human being has its own way when the status change into parents.
“Let's if Alea's pregnant, move to Bandung, huh? Let Mamah accompany Alea during pregnancy without Nathan.” Gea looked at the wife with soft eyes. “Nathan will indeed often leave the house, just like his Papah used to. However, if likened to animals, they are both like canis lupus or gray wolf.”
“Grey wolf?” repeat Nathan and Alea together.
Gea kept laughing at the cohesiveness of her son and daughter-in-law. If viewed more carefully, the more here the two faces are also more similar. “Iya. Canis lupus or gray wolves are animals that live in groups, and are very loyal to their partners. Canis lupus even willingly died for the sake of looking after her children.”
Gea paused for a while, then looked at the son while saying. “Nathan that goes down his Papah habits now. His nature, character, and habits are exactly the same. Another with Gean. She was actually downgraded to her Papah nature when she was young. They are passionate, fiery, and love freedom. However, basically the three men who are very Mama love are both very appreciative of the women who become their partners. Although sometimes effective cuek, originally they are very sweet.”
“Mah, already,” Nathan's divorce. “US Card Papah, Brother, same Gean is in the hands of Mamah all.”
Gea nodded with a smile at the look on the face of the son who used to be flat, now there is his expression. “Male if you have met his handler does like this, yes?” gean asked the daughter-in-law.
“Most likely true, Mah. You see Papah and Father Van’ar also so,” Alea replied. “Added Arsyad.”
True, if the men are already in the hands of the right handler, they must not hesitate to show their true nature. The usual spoiled nature of closing the ego, do not hesitate they show their handlers.
“Oh yes, Mama forgot to say something to you guys.”
“What's up, Mah?” Nathan first asked as Gea suddenly changed her facial expression.
“Madly no deposit from Nichole.”
“Nichole?” Nathan said as he turned to his wife. He then thumped, then looked back at his mother. “Nathan does not accept any gifts from other women.”
“Eh, how is it? This Mamah can trust that the deposit is given to you. If you don't want to accept it, return it to Nichole.”
Nathan let out a small breath. “Nathan just wants to keep feeling Nathan's wife, Mah.”
“Yes, Mamah understands. However, that does not mean you can hurt the heart of others.”
Alea agreed with Gea. If indeed Nathan wants to keep his feelings, Nathan also has to think about the feelings of Nichole who gives gifts. Alea would not be angry just because her husband received goods from other women, as long as her intentions and goals were clear. Plus, there is no veiled intent of the gift.
“If you want to return it, today Nichole wants to stop by here. Tomorrow he has to go to Bali.” Gea then looked at Alea. He knew that the topic of Nichole must be a bit disturbing to the son-in-law.
“Alea no need to worry. Nichole is Nathan's old friend. He was the younger brother of Nathan's late best friend, his name was Nicholas. In Nathan's room there's a photo of Nicholas with Nathan.”
“Iya, Mah.”
“Later if Nichole comes, Alea don't go anywhere. Stay by Nathan's side, okay? It seems Nathan is too afraid of you being jealous, so he is reluctant to meet Nichole. Nichole just wanted to say hello while congratulating you. In three months Nichole will also be engaged on the island of the Gods.”
