Prejacently
13. Cooky

The hollow road makes the car shaken smoothly enjoy the journey to the village that seems not far away. Sumbawa poultice with this road because that's why Sumbawa has never stopped talking to show the way.

"Well! Stop it!" pinta Sumbawa makes Sandigo pull his car right in front of the house yesterday.

Sandigo will never forget the old house that has served boiled cassava with warm tea in a glass with rusty edges.

Sumbawa steps down from the car. Just now he wanted to smile and take a deep breath to enjoy the cool air, it was held back after seeing the figure of a girl in pink with a knee-length skirt that was squatting next to the stairs with her hands that were seen gouging the ground and she put it into a coconut shell.

His two eyes did not blink the slightest glare at the prospective daughter-in-law. The girl is playing! Main ground! There is no better playing activity than that.

Sandigo patted the jidat.

"God, what is this girl doing?"

"Ah, shut up Sandigo and follow me!"

Sumbawa stepped into the yard of the house looking at the girl seriously. The girl spoke indistinctly as if she had a playmate.

"Master?"

Sumbawa looked up at Fatia who was at the door staring at him with a look of disbelief.

Fatia did not expect that she would have this special guest again. He thought that after yesterday's incident where Uci had soiled the car of the rich man's grandson, they would not come again.

"Can I come in?"

"Yes of course, sir! Please!" fatia answered from her daydream.

He opened the door wide and tidied his hair that looked tangled because he had washed clothes in the river.

Sumbawa stepped up the stairs after taking off her footwear. His steps tracing the steps came to a halt after he did not hear Sandigo's footsteps.

Sumbawa turned to look at Sandigo who looks sculpted staring at Uci who is still busy with his game.

"Sandigo!"

Sandigo was shocked. He quickly took off his shoes and stepped inside the house while occasionally looking at Uci.

Fatia put two glasses of warm tea on the table and sat down to the chair while hugging the tray that looked worn out.

"Please drink, sir!"

"Yes, thank you."

Sumbawa sipped her warm tea a little and put it back on a small plate that became the base on the glass.

"So you mean you came here to pick up Uci?"

Sumbawa nodded while throwing her warm smile.

"Yes. I have also decided to hold the wedding tomorrow."

"Be-tomorrow? Isn't that too soon?"

"Well, I know, but my grandson only had that day. After that he had no time. Do you mind?"

"Ahahaha, not at all Sir. I even feel happy."

Sumbawa nodded. He sipped his tea again and spoke again.

"Em, maybe I can't stay long. I have to prepare the wedding decorations and maybe I'll just take your daughter with me."

Fatia's smile gradually vanished from her lips. What that means is only Uci going into town and what about himself.

"Ahaha, what's just a Uci-"

Fatia's teachings stopped. He closed his lips that were about to protest after seeing Sumbawa took out some red money ties from behind the branded suit he was wearing.

"It's a little money. Let's just say this is a gift for you."

Sumbawa put the money on the table to make Fatia swipe both hands intending to reach for the money, but trying to hold it.

"Gift for me?"

"Yes of course."

Fatia tried to hold back her laughter. He earned money that the amount he never imagined in his life would be his. His trembling hand traced the fringes of the bill trying to count them.

"After the wedding day I'll make sure that I send you cash and it's a lot more than this."

Fatia nodded quickly. Both eyes are still busy calculating the nominal on the red sheet that until now he does not know how much.

"Em, then have a drink!"

"Yes. Thank you." Thank you."

"Ah, no need! I'll prepare everything."

Fatia nodded in understanding. He hugged the money as if afraid of losing.

"Sir!" whispered Sandigo made Sumbawa look over.

"I'll wait outside!"

Sumbawa nodded making Sandigo rise from the chair that he had feared would collapse and then stepped out down the steps.

Sandigo decided to sit on the lowest step. He looked at the girl with a serious look, monitoring every move the girl was making. Sandigo only realized that the girl was not playing cookery. There are stones arranged to resemble stoves and wood under coconut shells that have been filled with soil.

Sandigo scratched not understand. Is this girl cooking the land?

"Ehem!"

No response from Uci. He is still busy with his activities.

"What are you doing?"

Uci turned his head to look at Sandigo who was trying to smile. He got up from the stairs and sat in front of Uci who was again busy stirring the ground.

Sandigo frowned confusedly.

"Are you playing ground?"

Uci's hand movements stopped. He glanced at Sandigo and placed his index finger in front of his tiny lips.

"Don't talk! The fire will die."

Sandigo's lips opened unexpectedly. He glanced at the small wood under the coconut shell. There's no fire there.

"Are you hungry?" ask Uci with a smile that never fades.

"Ti-no," Sandigo replied so nervously.

"Ih, why say no? Just say yes! It's just pretend."

Sandigo gawking. He scratched his non-itchy head.

"Is Mister hungry?"

Sandigo nodded like a fool. This time he complied.

"Wait, yes I will prepare a meal for you, sir!"

Sandigo did not answer. He looked confused at Uci who was seen lifting the coconut shell that he was laying with a small cloth as if the coconut shell was hot. He grabbed a small leaf, chopped the leaf with blunt wood and sprinkled it on the ground.

"It's ready! This is special food. Fried rice with chives."

Uci smiled widely. He stuck out the coconut shell so happily.

"A-a-what's that for me?"

Uci nodded.

Sandigo blinked his eyes with an unexpected look. Lord, what girl will be the wife of this Master. Sandigo chuckled, pretending to laugh and then grabbed the coconut shell with fear.

"Well, thank you."

"Sama-sama," he replied innocently.

Sandigo gulped his salivary. He stirred up the ground making the chopped leaves mix. See that he was unconsciously playing as well.

"Wait on! I forgot the sausage!"

"Sausage?" sandigo asked not to understand.

Uci turned his back to Sandigo and after he turned around he put something on the ground on the coconut shell in Sandigo's hand.

"Yetoooo!!!"

"Yahoo!!!" sandigo shouted after seeing the black worm writhing on the coconut shell.

Sandigo threw the coconut shell away from him. His body trembled in fear staring at the worm that was still wriggling on the ground.

"Sandigo!"

Sandigo turned to look at Sumbawa who was seen running down the steps to get to him. It seemed that he was also shocked after hearing the sound of his screams.

"What's wrong?"

"Sir! This girl is playing with worms!" he tried to hold back the tickle.
