The Effects of Early Marriage
2 - 64 Meals Together
Today Yuri and all her classmates are on a vacation together to Puncak. They use buses to get one vehicle. Along the way, Yuri remained silent.
The usually violent woman, just sat blankly in the corner of the window.
"Yuri, are you too sad we're going to part?" ask Chia.
"Yes" he answered briefly.
Arriving at the Peak, Yuri then exhaled. Breathe cool air from the trees and tea gardens.
He should enjoy this holiday. Last vacation with his classmates. After this, they will head to a different place.
Deo held Yuri's hand, though said nothing.
It's still morning. They then look for food to fill the stomach.
"Where are we going to eat?"
"We go to the garden. There's plenty of vegetables and fruit to eat."
This villa belongs to the Deo family.
"We can cook ourselves for lunch and dinner, or ask the aunt who cooked it."
Then they went to the garden. It turns out, a lot of vegetables and fruits are planted. The women picked the fruit, while the men picked the vegetables.
"There's also a dam near here, as well as a chicken coop."
They were in the garden until they forgot the time. Eating fruit directly picked from the tree does feel different.
"Udah yuk, I'm hungry" said Yuri.
Deo nodded. They then headed for the villa. There are already some chicken that have been cut into pieces.
They sit in the backyard. See aunts and other workers cooking.
Deo then went to the kitchen, making Yuri food to prop her stomach so as not to starve.
"Eat first Yang, let you not catch a cold."
It was a fruit and vegetable. Deo feeds Yuri, who makes their friends jealous and baper.
Those who were hungry also ate the snacks that had been made by the servants in the villa. Traditional cakes that they rarely eat during their time in Jakarta, lined up neatly and seductively in front of them.
Deo and Yuri bribe, not caring about their friends.
"You're going to college at the same place again?" ask Rizki.
Yuri immediately choked on the food. His face was sad.
"Yes," Yuri replied quietly without spirit.
Chia and Airu looked at each other. Making friends for many years with Yuri, they already knew how Yuri was.
Deo rubbed Yuri's head, not commenting.
"Miss, sir, the food is ready."
The food was then delivered in front of them. Eat with banana leaves and by hand.
"It looks so good. I'm getting hungry."
"Eat a lot, sir, Miss. Aunty's been cooking a lot, if you want to add, there's still."
"Yes, thanks Bi. Aunty and others also eat yes, do not delay" Deo said.
"Thank you Den Deo."
Cold weather plus earlier they have been picking.already and vegetables, making their appetite increase.
Sambal made very spicy, make sweat pouring. No one wants to stop chewing. Still the rice that had run out on the plate, filled again.
Eating is simple. Regular home-cooked meals, not cafe or restaurant-style meals.
But eating with an atmosphere like this with friends who will soon be separated, making everything feel very delicious.
Yuri shed her tears.
Not only because of the spiciness, but also sad will soon part with them, maybe also will LDR with Deo.
