The Rearranged Kitchen

Noor comes home from work one evening. She walks into her kitchen and stops. Something looks different today.

Noor pulang kerja pada suatu sore. Ia masuk ke dapurnya lalu berhenti. Hari ini ada yang terlihat berbeda.

The plates are not in their usual place. The cups sit on a different shelf. Even the spice jars stand in a new order.

Piring-piring tidak berada di tempat biasanya. Cangkir-cangkir ada di rak lain. Bahkan botol-botol bumbu berdiri dalam urutan yang baru.

Noor feels confused and a little worried. She sets down her bag slowly. Did someone come into her home?

Noor merasa bingung dan sedikit khawatir. Ia menaruh tasnya pelan-pelan. Apakah ada orang yang masuk ke rumahnya?

She checks the front door lock. She checks the back door too. Both doors are locked, just like always.

Ia memeriksa kunci pintu depan. Ia memeriksa pintu belakang juga. Kedua pintu terkunci, seperti biasa.

Noor calls her roommate, Sana, right away. "Did you move things in the kitchen?" she asks. She waits nervously for the answer.

Noor langsung menelepon teman serumahnya, Sana. "Kamu memindahkan barang-barang di dapur?" tanyanya. Ia menunggu jawaban dengan gugup.

"Yes, I did!" Sana says happily. "I saw a video about organizing kitchens. I wanted to surprise you with it."

"Iya, aku yang memindahkan!" kata Sana dengan riang. "Aku menonton video tentang cara menata dapur. Aku ingin memberimu kejutan."

Noor lets out a small laugh of relief. She looks around the kitchen again. The new order actually makes good sense.

Noor tertawa kecil karena lega. Ia memandang sekeliling dapur sekali lagi. Susunan yang baru ternyata masuk akal.

Plates sit near the table now. Cups are close to the coffee machine. Even the spices are easier to find.

Sekarang piring-piring ada di dekat meja. Cangkir-cangkir dekat dengan mesin kopi. Bahkan bumbu-bumbu pun lebih mudah ditemukan.

"This is actually really helpful," Noor says. She thanks Sana for the surprise. "Let's make dinner together," Sana says with a smile.

"Ini benar-benar membantu," kata Noor. Ia berterima kasih kepada Sana atas kejutannya. "Ayo kita masak makan malam bersama," kata Sana sambil tersenyum.
