having lunch with family and making a small hut behind the house

simple lunch

Hari ini adalah salah satu hari yang penuh rasa syukur dan kebahagiaan bagi saya. Pagi ini saya memulai hari dengan aktivitas yang cukup menyenangkan, yaitu membuat sebuah pondok kecil sederhana di halaman belakang rumah. Pondok ini saya bangun dari bahan alami, yaitu pohon pinang, yang saya potong dan belah sendiri untuk dijadikan alas serta penyangga. Dengan penuh semangat saya menyusun satu persatu pinang hingga membentuk sebuah pondok batang santai yang nyaman untuk di tempati.

Setelah pondok selesai dibangun, kami pun memutuskan untuk mengadakan makan siang bersama keluarga kecil kami. Namun tempat yang masih kotor dan memutuskan makan di dalam. Suasana makan siang ini terasa begitu berbeda dan lebih istimewa karena kami menikmatinya di luar rumah. Meski terlihat sederhana namun kehangatan yang kami rasakan jauh lebih besar.

On the simple dining table served appetizing dishes. There is warm white rice, fresh vegetables and chili paste made by my wife which has its own distinctive taste. Not to forget, the side dishes that are our family's favorites also enliven today's menu, namely crispy fried chicken, salted fish fried until crispy, and fried tempeh which is always the perfect complement to every dish we have.

Adding freshness to lunch, my wife also prepared a refreshing drink from syrup, which was served cold and made the lunch atmosphere even more enjoyable. Our little daughter looked so happy sitting relaxed in front of the dining table while eating her favorite dishes with gusto.

This togetherness feels so precious. Simple but full of meaning. Having lunch together in the dining room is not just about enjoying food, but also strengthening the relationship in our small family. I feel proud to be able to provide a little comfort and a new atmosphere for my wife and child.

Hopefully we can continue to maintain and repeat this togetherness in the future. Because in reality happiness is not always luxurious, just with the warmth of family and gratitude for everything we have.
