"Did you look around?" Delia screamed when she saw Ara still looking at her eating.
Hearing this, Ara pulled the corner of her mouth, didn't speak, and stood up. Walked up to Delia, and pulled her hand away.
"Ahh..pig. Don't take my food!"
ara ignored Delia's screams or actions, and focused on dragging her body to the living room table. Where they previously discussed about clothing design.
"My rice..!" Delia still didn't know what Ara was doing, and screamed regretting her unfinished rice.
"Shut updon't scream! Sit here, I'll give you some rice." Ara threw Delia's body on the living room sofa, and said.
Delia, who didn't know what Ara was doing, couldn't help but frown, and looked at her best friend in annoyance.
Ara still didn't explain anything to Delia. after Delia sat quietly on the sofa, she took out a piece of paper from her bag, and gave it to Delia.
"Look at this!"
"What's this?"
"Just take a look!"
Still with a sullen face, and not excited, Delia took the paper in Ara's hand.
what Ara gave was the clothing design that she used for an online contest on her previous website. The design also uses batik motifs, but there is a modern feel to it.
"This is good. Batik with urban motifs, which looks more modern than most batiksbut, what do you mean give this to me?” Delia asked after looking around for some time.
"Look," Ara showed the picture in Delia's hand, and said, "This batik is like an ordinary white rice without anything. While this urban motif is other spices. if in the analogy, this is fried rice. Ordinary rice that has a different taste. That's why maybe the design can win."
"Then?" Delia still didn't understand.
Ara smiled, then picked up the design they were working on together and explained, "Look at this! although our design is nicer and modern, it's just plain white rice without any nuance. Yes, although there is a bit of a modern feel, it's just plain fried rice, and nothing special."
While listening to Ara speak, Delia looked at the two drawings in her hands and compared.
as Ara said, the two images are indeed different, but they are the same in nuance.
For example, the picture of Ara is fried rice on the street. While the second picture is fried rice with the same taste image, but has a more special place and plate. more precisely, fried rice sold in luxury restaurants.
However, they do not have certain characteristics. Or basically the same.
"I see what you mean. But, what next?" Delia asked again.
"Delia, ooh Delia. I thought you were getting smarter, you see..."
"That's enough! quickly speak your mind! Don't make fun of me all the time!"
"Hehehe.." Ara smiled.
"Look, Andra said that our designs are just ordinary without any interesting characteristicshe's like food, and I thought, if this batik is rice, what can make it so attractive, and delicious to eat?"
"Of course the side dishes, and other accompaniments."
"You're right. So..." Ara smiled, and looked at Delia's face meaningfully.
Seeing Ara's face like this, Delia thought for a moment and suddenly found something, "I see! Instead of making this rice into fried rice, why not make this rice a luxurious side dish?"
ara nodded, and added, "Now is the year 2021, batik is indeed in demand in the world market. But it must be adapted to the needs of the place and time. It cannot be denied that batik is loved by old people, or has an artistic spirit. But, no too much loved by young people."
"Haha.... Ara, you're smart! Instead of focusing on people who already like her, why don't we make it popular with young people too?"
"Well, since you understand. What do you think?" Ara asked.
"Young people. Usually like things that look luxurious, and sophisticated. I think, using things like cars, or sophisticated places is a good thing." Delia replied.
"Then what are you waiting for! Let's get to work!"
After that, the two of them discussed what to choose, and worked through the night.
as they worked in the living room, Andra who saw him from upstairs smiled, and nodded silently.
"It seems, the two of them are quite reliable." Finished muttering to himself, Andra returned to his room.
Time goes on, and it doesn't feel like it's already morning.
when Andra came out and went downstairs to clean up, he saw two women downstairs already asleep on the sofa.
Apparently, the two of them worked until the morning.
Walking towards the two of them, Andra stopped right in front of a table full of scattered papers.
when he saw this picture, Andra's reaction was not like he saw yesterday's picture. This time, he smiled, and silently agreed with what they drew.
then, looking at Ara's sleeping face, Andra smiled, "Beautiful morning, and innocent innocent face, it seems today is a beautiful day."
Andra just said to himself, and had no intention of waking them both up. Then went to the bathroom to clean himself.
When the clock on the wall showed 6 am, Andra finished cleaning himself and came out of the bathroom.
At first, he thought the two women on the sofa had woken up, but they were still asleep.
"Do they work until the rooster crows?" Andre shook his head.
But, he also didn't wake the two of them. After looking at them for a moment, he walked into the kitchen, and started preparing breakfast.
Around 7 am, Andra is still busy in the kitchen.
while on the sofa, Ara's long eyelashes slowly fluttered, and soon her eyes opened.
"Um... It's morning, huh." Rubbing her eyes, Ara muttered as she saw that it was already bright outside the window.
stretching the muscles in her body for a while, Ara got up from the sofa, and looked around for a while.
"Shhh... Disgusting. Over the years, it turns out that he's still drooling in his sleep." Seeing Delia sleeping with her drool, Ara insulted.
"When you wake up, hurry up and clean yourself up, and then have breakfast."
Ara's voice might be heard in Andra's ears cooking, and from the kitchen Andra said to himself.
Looking towards the voice, and sure enough, Ara saw Andra cooking something in the kitchen.
learning from before, Ara didn't think that Andra would prepare for her too. So, he didn't answer and hurriedly walked towards the bathroom.
It was almost noon, he had to quickly clean himself up, then prepare his own breakfast, and immediately go to the shop.
there is something in Ara's mind. To speed up time, he didn't even take a shower, and only brushed his teeth and washed his face.
But, when he came out of the bathroom, he found that Andra and Delia were already sitting at the dining table and various kinds of food had been served on the table.
ara was surprised, because the breakfast that was on the table was more than 4 people. Does Andra cook for other people?
"What are you staring at there for? Hurry up and have breakfast, I have to hurry to the office. There's a meeting today." Andra said to him when he saw Ara still standing still.
these words woke Ara, and still with surprise on her face, she asked, "You, did you prepare breakfast for me?"
