LOVE EXAM (My Uncle Jones )
21. Ketupat Rice.

Birds singing cheerfully flying here and there, the cool morning wind piercing the skin, the smell of smoke burning leaves and wood smelling warm soul because there is the aroma of clove leaves and the aroma of other spices.

Shafa came out of the room sniffing the smell of the smell that was quite fragrant, Shafa pecking in the middle of the back door saw his father and Jones were exercising together in the backyard.

Jones who wears tampa sleeves and long trending pants looks dashing and athletic muscles of his arms and chest look cool.

"Astagfirullah.My eyes were stained." Shafa's little laugh turned his eyes the other way.

"Ngapain bengong here nduk." hello mbah wedok elderly but still agile, women who used to accompany and take care of Shafa since childhood.

"Mbah wedokkkk. O Allah is kangen, how are you." Shafa hugged the woman tightly.

"Alhamdulillah healthy nduk." hug back.

"Let's sit here mbah." slowly pull the hand of bamboo wedok seat behind.

"Wait a minute, mbah take Shafa's favorite food, ketupat rice mbah already made from last night."

"O yes Mbah, Alhamdulillah Shafa kangen also breakfast with rice ketupat." Shafa went into the kitchen to follow the elderly.

After bringing ketupat and drink Shafa directly devoured food typical of the area, despite the difficulties due to wearing a veil but Shafa can spend up to three ketupat.

"Great son Mbah, Shafa likes, thank you."

"Alhamdulillah if Shafa still likes, mbah think has forgotten the village food."

"No dong mbah, mbah follow Shafa aja to the house yes, first mbah ngak want to follow because .." Shafa stopped his words because he was afraid that the elderly man would be offended.

"Sorry Mbah, Shafa forgot, sorry also Shafa and mama ngak come home after sick until there is no, sorry we ya mbah." sorry Shafa lowered his head.

"No matter what nduk, mbah already iklas but sorry mbah ngak can come because Mbah also has to take care of Shafa's father."

After staying in Zahra Mbah lanang go for good mbah wedok stay alone in trouble, mbah wedok, although Mbah wedok had many children but none of his children who want to take care of and give a living to him until mbah wedok reunited with Nazwan when the man returned to his old house.

After knowing the fate that befell Mbah wedok Zahra sent the old grandmother's shopping money every month, just returning the favor because all this time the grandmother who was always loyal to accompany them both when likes and wounds.

Because Nazwan had returned to the old house and lived alone in the house, then Mbah wedok volunteered to help take care of the house, because Mbah wedok often miss Zahra and Shafa so when in the house Mbah will feel his longing is treated.

"Again what to eat, really like ketupat." Jones came over, he was tidy and had a shower.

"Uncle rice soup, will you ?."

"Kok ketupat rice, make a meal lontong ?."

"No Uncle, his rice ketupat in eating using fish sambal or shrimp."

"Shafa showed me the fish sambal in the coconut groove in a dry cook, then in a small wrap with banana leaves."

"Any .. delicious ?."

"Sweird but delicious Uncle, full too."

Shafa thrust two ketupat complete with the sauce, then Jones ate the food greedily, Jones seemed to be enjoying a meal he had never eaten before even though he had lived in the area but he had never eaten such a meal at all.

"Bad son.." Joneses.

"Snake the ampe out of five Uncle." Shafa laughed.

After breakfast they also left for the hospital to accompany Nazwan who had been scheduled for surgery, once the re-examination was completed and the preparation of the operation was mature Nazwan was taken to the operating room.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine believe me." comfort Jones to Shafa because the girl looks nervous.

"Thank you Uncle.."

After nearly two hours the operating room door opened and three nurses took Nazwan to the treatment room unconscious and still under the influence

dope.

Shafa was sitting on the chair beside his father's bed, his own eyes were looking pity at the father, his handsome and middle-aged face was pale after surgery.

"Dad.. quickly wake up, Shafa will feel guilty if until Shafa ngak come nemanin father today, forgive Shafa well if Shafa made a lot of mistakes during this time."

Shafa clasped his hands, the teenage girl's tears streaming down when he imagined the father tampa with his side or anyone who came to look after him.

"Kok nangis, let's eat already afternoon loh, later you have a stomachache."

"Shafa isn't hungry yet Uncle."

"Don't refuse, although not hungry still eat dong later you are sick who takes care of your father, then even you are in the business of funny ngak." thrusting a box of food to Shafa.

"Yes Uncle, well Shafa ate this."

"Good."

Shafa ahirnya eat also though not hungry, although whatever he said Jones there is a point he must be healthy in order to keep his father.

After three hours Nazwan realized, Shafa was very happy, the shadow of Zahra who was in a coma for a few days made Shafa was afraid that such a thing happened to his father.

"Dad.what's sick."

"No son, I'm fine, it's better Shafa come home rest at home" he said stammered.

"No dad, Shafa doesn't want to go home Shafa will be here just to accompany me."

"Shafa still doesn't want to go home, Shafa comes to accompany me so please don't tell Shafa to come home, if I still tell Shafa to come home there's no point Shafa coming." cried the girl was sad.

Nazwan fell silent, finally succumbing to let Shafa stay there with him.

"Shafa you better go home, let me be with your father and uncle." Joneses.

"No Uncle, Shafa stays here only Uncle comes home." annoyed.

"Yes we're the same here, I'm your driver who knows need something will be easy."

"No need Uncle, just go home with Uncle pian and Uncle bima." Shafa sends Jones home with two of his bodyguards.

Shafa actually objected to being followed because he was reluctant and uncomfortable with the special clothes of the guards they wore, too conspicuous.

"Where might they go home, want to be in beteti (clean the outside or inside like cleaning fish or chicken to be cooked ) your papa until their derivative ? you have a heart ?."

"Ahhh papa is very." lamented Shafa took a breath, right said Jones if until the bodyguards are not working properly then it is in sure their safety will be threatened to their families as well.

"If that's not your papa."

Nazwan watched the two men with his beloved daughter and the other he knew his daughter's family doctor.

"Did this doctor like my daughter." Nazwan muttered suspiciously at Jones' other way of talking to Shafa, even calling him father.

"Darling, how old are you now" asked Nazwan to turn his daughter's attention in annoyance at Jones.

"Three more months eighteen years, a time of forgetting the age of his own son." he replied sulking.

"Don't forget, I'm just asking." Nazwan smiled.

"That means three more months can be applied dong." jones said with a big smile.

"Aihhh no Uncle, Shafa still wants to go to college and graduated Shafa is still a child."

"What a little eighteen years old, remember ye it must be soon...." Jones held back his words because he was afraid to anger Shafa if he dismantled his illness.

"What's going on" asked Shafa and Nazwan together.

Of course Shafa forgot his own illness otherwise he must be angry because almost Jones slipped.

"Immediately ... immediately .. well soon married dong, father will need a friend yes well, if there is a grandchild must be exciting." his speech even made Shafa ride apitam.

"Uncle.. don't fret." he was angry in a soft voice.

"Who knows anyway, help dong well I'm angry, dad would want a grandson." face the wall.

(basis Jones ngak no ahlak 🤣 Shafa and Nazwan even equally angry and upset, the way Jones talk is too pulgar for them ).

Nazwan is silent despite his anger but he likes the character of Jones who is what he is but a coward to say his feelings.

"Well if you say it again Uncle Shafa can .."

"What can."

"Get angry."

"Yes already angry, I want to see you angry funny or spooky huh hahahaha."

"Uncle.."

"Goshea.."

"Alahhhh .. can step Shafa this way."

"Not a fool can step hahaha."

"Oh ahhh.."

"Dark." Joneses.

Long ago Nazwan smiled himself to see the behavior of the two people of different sexes and generations.
