Sunday Dinner Surprise

Every Sunday, Lars cooked dinner for his family. It was always the same three dishes. His daughter, Astrid, always set the table.

Setiap hari Minggu, Lars memasak makan malam untuk keluarganya. Selalu tiga hidangan yang sama. Putrinya, Astrid, selalu menata meja.

This Sunday started just like any other. Lars made his usual chicken and potatoes. Astrid set out four plates as always.

Hari Minggu ini dimulai seperti biasa. Lars membuat ayam dan kentang seperti biasanya. Astrid menaruh empat piring seperti biasa.

The kitchen smelled warm and familiar. Astrid folded the napkins neatly. Everything felt calm and ordinary.

Dapur berbau hangat dan akrab. Astrid melipat serbet dengan rapi. Semuanya terasa tenang dan biasa saja.

Then the doorbell rang unexpectedly. Astrid opened the door with surprise. Her old friend from college stood there.

Lalu bel pintu berbunyi tanpa disangka. Astrid membuka pintu dengan terkejut. Teman lamanya dari kuliah berdiri di sana.

"I was in town for one night," she said. Astrid hugged her friend and invited her in. She quickly grabbed one more plate.

"Aku di kota ini hanya semalam," katanya. Astrid memeluk temannya dan mengajaknya masuk. Ia cepat-cepat mengambil satu piring lagi.

Lars added more potatoes to the pot. He made the dinner stretch for five people. He set an extra chair at the table.

Lars menambahkan kentang ke dalam panci. Ia membuat makan malam itu cukup untuk lima orang. Ia menaruh satu kursi tambahan di meja.

Everyone sat down together happily. Astrid's friend told stories from college. Lars laughed a lot during dinner.

Semua orang duduk bersama dengan gembira. Teman Astrid menceritakan kisah-kisah dari masa kuliah. Lars banyak tertawa selama makan malam.

The quiet Sunday became a lively party. Plates emptied fast, and everyone talked at once. Even the family cat came to look.

Hari Minggu yang tenang itu berubah menjadi pesta yang meriah. Piring-piring cepat kosong, dan semua orang bicara bersamaan. Bahkan kucing keluarga ikut datang melihat.

"Come back anytime," Lars said at the end. Astrid's friend promised to visit again. They all said goodbye at the door.

"Datanglah kapan saja," kata Lars di akhir acara. Teman Astrid berjanji akan berkunjung lagi. Mereka semua mengucapkan selamat tinggal di pintu.
