Arga had been the conversation for weeks. Finally, over breakfast, he told his father he was leaving to become a chef.
Arga sudah berminggu-minggu melatih percakapan ini. Akhirnya, saat sarapan, dia memberi tahu ayahnya bahwa dia akan keluar dari fakultas kedokteran untuk menjadi koki.
His father put down his newspaper. "Is this about the exams? Because you're top of your class."
Ayahnya meletakkan korannya. "Apa ini soal ujian? Kamu kan juara kelas."
" I can't do medicine, Pa. I don't want to. , I'm happiest in a kitchen."
"Bukan karena aku tidak bisa kuliah kedokteran, Pa. Tapi karena aku tidak mau. Masalahnya, aku paling bahagia di dapur."
His father was silent for a long time. "You know your grandfather wanted to be a doctor and couldn't it."
Ayahnya terdiam lama. "Kamu tahu kakekmu ingin jadi dokter tapi tidak mampu membiayainya."
"I know. I don't respect that. , it's why I've tried so hard. , I've already been offered an at a restaurant in Ubud."
"Aku tahu. Bukan berarti aku tidak menghormati itu. Justru itulah sebabnya aku sudah berusaha keras. Lagi pula, aku sudah ditawari magang di sebuah restoran di Ubud."
"," his father said slowly, "I've never seen you cook." Arga stood up, went to the and made him nasi goreng with a fried egg. His father ate every . "," he finally said, "I'd rather you were happy than a doctor. But you will finish this ."
"Kenyataannya," kata ayahnya pelan, "Papa belum pernah melihatmu memasak." Arga berdiri, menuju kompor, dan membuatkannya nasi goreng dengan telur ceplok. Ayahnya menghabiskan setiap butir nasinya. "Intinya," akhirnya dia berkata, "Papa lebih suka kamu bahagia daripada jadi dokter. Tapi kamu harus menyelesaikan semester ini."
