Pon! Pon! Pon!.....Segera Ezry berlari keluar! Masa tu boleh lihat gelabahnya dia, serba salah sama ada mahu terus menunggu di depan pintu atau mahu terus mencari duit untuk membayar nanti.
"Putu Mayam!!Stooooooooop!!"
Anakku seakan ketagih betul dengan putu mayam yang dijaja dengan motor itu. Biasanya ia akan melalui rumahku sekitar jam 6.00 petang. Semuanya bermula apabila anak jiranku, Ijat menghentikan penjual putu mayam tersebut. Melihat Ijat membelinya, Ezry teringin untuk mencuba. Sekali cuba, terus nak lagi. Bermula hari itu, setiap hari akan aku tinggalkan duit kecil di laci ruang tamu. Manalah tahu.... kalau-kalau mahu membeli putu mayam itu. Pernah dia berjaya menghabiskan sehingga 3 keping putu mayam tanpa banyak cerita!!
Aku tahu, faktor utama yang menyebabkan dia sukakan putu mayam ialah gula merahnya. Makan putu mayam seolah memberinya lesen untuk makan gula!! Tapi tak kisahlah, asal yang dimakan bukannya gulanya sahaja!
Aku juga suka putu mayam, tapi dengan sedikit pengubahsuaian... Biasanya aku akan memakannya dengan mencicah kari. Sedap ooooo....
Tapi kebelakangan ini, Ezry tak lagi hari-hari memberhentikan motor putu mayam itu. Mungkin lidahnya pun tak betah menjadikannya makanan ruji.. hehhehe...
Mamak putu mayam pun seolah bersedih hati kerana pembeli genitnya tidak lagi menanti.
Pon! Pon! Pon!....."Putu Mayam! Putu Mayam!"
