That night, the atmosphere in the yard was warmed by the glow of glowing embers. Several adults were busy grilling chicken pieces that had been seasoned with special spices, neatly sandwiched in an iron grill over the burning embers. The fragrant aroma of roasted meat began to waft throughout the area, tempting the hunger of anyone who smelled it.
In the corner of the yard, children and several adults sat together, watching the grilling process with enthusiasm. They chatted, laughed, and enjoyed the evening together under the light of the lamps and stars. Several children seemed enthusiastic to help, even just by holding the lamp or waiting for their turn to taste.
After the chicken was cooked, the dish was served complete with white rice and stir-fried cassava leaves. Everyone then gathered inside the house, sitting in a circle on the carpet. The atmosphere changed to become warmer and more lively. The children ate heartily, while the adults continued to share stories and laugh. There were also toddlers who enjoyed the atmosphere with their families.
The barbecue night was not just about food, but about togetherness, laughter, and memories that will be remembered in the hearts of everyone who attended. A simple night that felt so special.
