Elin Activity

" You saw a picture of my Chicken Opor" Meili choked. When the behind-the-scenes chat between them, it is now back on the line.

Jerry had just finished his shower. The clock showed midnight. But he didn't feel sleepy. Maybe because I was asleep. Or because of the woman behind the screen of the phone in front of him. He was too happy to hear her chattering.

" It tastes so good Jerry", the pekik is so proud. The woman's happy face, like a contagious disease, and Jerry's lip line, always expands whenever she smiles. " really ? I can't believe it because I haven't tried it yet ? ", he said intentionally, for the sake of seeing the woman upset and chattering mercilessly to him.

" I'll make it for you later" Meili said. And Jerry was so happy with that answer. "what else do you like ? ", tanyanya.

" Anything, as long as you cook it ".

" Jerry" Meili choked. Although he did not tidy his face blushing at that time. "quickly say, what other food you like, in addition to the chicken opor "sragahnya. "i've memorized many ingredients of Indonesian food seasoning", continue storytelling.

" Oh yeah ? ", reply Jerry, throw a gaze, as interested as possible in what the woman wants to tell you. Meili nodded, "I can already tell Ginger, turmeric, and galangal apart. Mami said, only amazing women can do it".

Jerry, almost chuckled at the plain words of the woman. Being an amazing woman is that easy. Of course the mothers of the sellers of kitchen spices, it has been very amazing since long ago.and no woman who wants to compete for knowledge, if it becomes amazing, finished with being able to distinguish, Turmeric, galangal and Ginger.

" i can tell Jerry apart. So I'm an amazing woman, aren't I ? " attack. With a puff of his lips, Jerry nodded. " You are always amazing in my eyes" he said. And Meili's cheeks instantly blushed at that moment.

" God "meili's chuckling was surprised. When you look at the wall clock in his bedroom, "you don't sleep Jerry. Isn't it now that it's half a night" he said.

" Hemm. But I still want to talk to you ".

" I won't take responsibility, if you're late tomorrow" Meili, and Jerry laughed. Their conversation has never been so interesting. But both, feeling the same, it's better. Than just exchanging messages. Sometimes, just looking at each other's faces behind the scenes is enough. Making sure they're still connected, it's more reassuring. This distant relationship, really tormenting those who are kasmaran. Not infrequently Jerry intends to catch up with the woman. But the work that Daniel has just given. Makes him go nowhere.

" When are you gonna be here ? ", he asked unconsciously. Because at that moment, he was imagining that woman was next to him.

" When do you want ? " meili said back asking.

" As soon as ", Jerry replied honestly. Meili laughed behind the scenes "without saying it. Your face has shown it ", the sergeant and Jerry are quite embarrassed because of it. "so when are you going to be here. Isn't everything done ? ".

" You really look impatient Jerry" he said again.

" Yes, I can't wait, because I miss you so much, and want to meet you quickly. Is that wrong ? ", girl. Meili stared unblinkingly hearing that. And then came back laughing. "then we're the same ", he said so honestly, and Jerry chuckled. The woman, always managed to make her jawbone feel stiff, because it did not stop opening.

While looking in the mirror, Elin smiled. Recalling the time she and Daniel brushed their teeth together a few minutes ago, it was very simple, but very pleasant. Starting the morning with a laugh with your partner turned out to be a blessing. And today, he was so excited to get started. It didn't feel like he was in New York for nearly a week. And that whole day he went through it very happily. Except when Meili cried a few days ago.

And finally he also found out that everyone in the house had lied to him. The taste of the first sandwich he made, it felt very alarming. He found out after a few days. On hearing the news, Reza was hospitalized for eating her sandwich and two days since she made the meal. Daniel didn't stop going in and out of the bathroom.

Who is to blame for this misfortune. He is the one who cannot cook. Or because it is a karma given, because it has lied to him.

Fortunately, the New York media did not know that. Or, she would have thought, wanted to poison her own husband.

And now. The sandwich taste is much better. While she was at home and just waiting for her husband to come home. Elin did a lot of things. Learned a lot from her mother-in-law. She really didn't want to be Madam, who just stayed in her bedroom.

Morning, after everyone finished with their breakfast. She follows Viona playing in the little garden that the woman made. What he just found out, when Meili told him. Not infrequently the woman also came.

Play ground, move the plants in the garden to other lands. Pick for tomatoes, chili. Doing all of that is so much fun. It was more fun than being in the middle of a figure of clothing, like that Viona told him. Despite each saying that, Meili became the first to disagree.

His days in New York were fun. Although, he was still sad, each time remembering his existence so far away, from the people he loved.

Before dusk. Elin and Viona will return to their small garden. Sometimes they do nothing. Just telling a story, and Elin asks a lot of questions, about Daniel. About how the boy's childhood was and more. There was no end to it when they talked about Daniel. And something new he knew. It turns out that Daniel was small, born prematurely, with an easy gestational age. Five months. He had to be expelled because of, the accident that Viona suffered. His body fell down the stairs, and he was bleeding heavily. Fortunately, little Daniel can still be saved. I had to stay in the incubator room for months. But he managed to live, in the midst of his sudden heartbeat often weakening. His life spirit is very strong. Though how many times, the doctor told Viona, not to expect too much. The baby's internal organs are not yet fully formed. So it could be, his heartbeat suddenly, stopped. Or kidney failure. Doctors always say don't expect too much from Viona. Because everyone did not want himself to get hurt.If only suddenly it really happened.

Twenty times the heartbeat of little Daniel suddenly stopped. And at that time Viona always prayed that God would not take away her happiness. And the Great One, always benevolent, by restoring the little heart of Daniel to a beat. Viona wiped her eyes as she told that. How his son struggles to survive.

No one, who would have thought, if the man was dashing, ever diagnosed with such a short life span, no more than ten years, if it was more than that, then it was a miracle. And that miracle happened. Daniel's age persists to this day. Even the body is very handsome.

When I heard the diagnosis. Viona wasn't crying. He is grateful. At least ten years, longer than he expected.

Before dusk they return home and such becomes his activity. After that, he will look for his flat object. And immediately send a call to Mother and Father.it became a routine activity sorenya in New York, and became a routine activity mala In the morning.

Their breakfast, slalu accompanied by Elin's babble from across the call. But it became a fun activity. Even Art, the youngest who doesn't talk much. Always go with the buzz. He told a lot of things to his brother. Even Tama, always come to the breakfast table on time, just for the sake of joining the screen of her mother's phone, and along chat with Elin. Although he had always been a troublemaker in their chat. But Mala was very happy. That way, he never felt his daughter was far away.

" Are you ready ? ", and Daniel asked, approaching his wife in the mirror. And Elin nodded. They walked to the dining table. And suddenly Meili comes ambushing among them. And after that, he passed by guiltlessly, laughing.

" Have you gone back in ? " attack Elin to Meili. When he and Daniel had arrived at the dinner table. The woman nodded, "I have to finish my lecture immediately", she said so excitedly and everyone turned to her, "who urged you ? " ask Daniel to know. " Wedding decoration. Last night I saw him on the internet. So, afterwards, I became impatient to want to get married ", she said lightly. Daniel's eyes were perfectly rounded hearing that, "you're a little Meili", he said.

" My age is the same as your wife's" Meili said, and Daniel lost, in the debate.
