A MATCHMAKING

30. Meeting Old Friends

Night Market Adam Malik, usually called culinary night. There are many snacks here that can be eaten. Velda and Nando get into the car park and they get off.

At 9.30 pm the visitors are getting crowded and moreover the place is really relaxed accompanied by pop music. The two of them are looking for a sitting friend to enjoy the culinary food here.

Nando ordered a sweet jumbo tea. One glass of jumbo divided into two is more romantic if people see. Because it came as well both of them, Nando's hope was like that. But he wouldn't force it either, they sat down for a moment.

"What do you want to eat?" Nando asked, Velda glanced around all delicious.

"Gua wants egg rolls with Malaysian mochi" Velda replied

"Okay, the cave go buy first. Wait here, yeah!" nando said, leaving from his seat.

Velda pulled his jumba tea in shakes slowly. Then he opened the phone. Lots of messages coming in from whatsapp.

Arka: what else? You still angry?

Arka: why not reply?

Arka : thank you, for the dress. I liked.

Where are you? I can go to your house, right?

Next it was a message from Arka, Velda did not reply only she read for what was reciprocated just a waste of feeling. Not long after, Nando brought back a snack from Velda.

"Have come, Miss Velda," said Nando, now sitting beside Velda.

"Well, don't you eat?" Velda's turn asked Nando

"There, later on in between, just eat first" replied Nando smilingly plucking the egg roll.

"Definitely the burger again? You've been right on your face like a burger king for a long time" Velda said, putting mochi in his mouth.

Nando could only give a smile it was natural that the woman was insinuating him. A long while later someone approached Velda and Nando's table.

"Hey, Velda!" greet someone face beautiful, white, and very classy.

Nando glanced at the woman sitting in front of their table. Velda scowled and a smile greeted him.

"Eh, hey! Tania, right?" reply Velda forgot to remember.

"How are you? How's it getting blacker, you?" nyinyir Tania, a beautiful woman and hobby to take care of her body.

Nando from earlier stole the woman while signaling the appearance of his best friend. I think he's taken care of by beautiful women. Fate looks cute forgotten.

"Well, ha ha ha biasalah name is also the work must be hot out of the field. How do you keep elo? It's been a success, the more beautiful this elo?!" velda's reply signaled to her friend.

Tania shrieked after getting a reply from Velda. For Velda to be ordinary, he knew how Tania's nature even though the rich for Velda there was no point in showing off the wealth of their own parents.

Velda hadn't seen any old friends in a long time. Rarely possible since graduating from college and he rarely communicates with his classmates. Velda knows all have their own activities.

If Tania for Velda value is arguably 85% because all her appearance is pure. She is indeed beautiful in SME (college of Campus Management) Velda does not need to be in the hallmark because all are born beautiful and perfect.

Long ago Obrol Tania realized something the figure of the man sitting next to Velda was silent.

"He's lo's husband?" Suddenly Tania asked Velda directly.

As Velda was surprised by the question from his old friend, his side lyrics to Nando were just a silent flat face. Playboy man dragon dipper super poultice with Velda.

"No, he's a friend of the cave" Velda replied, "but a friend but friendly," Velda added.

Nando Langusng glanced at the woman next to him, Velda anyway threw a face and smile at Tania. Tania laughed knowing the unique answer of her old friend.

"Hahaha, geez Velda, this elo really never changes, huh! Good, if you can keep going. Yes, the cave has been removed first, the husband of the cave and the cave boy are waiting. Next time we go again, bye bye." Pamit Tania left their desk.

Velda waved his hand and then Nando leaned his face obliquely asking the intent of the woman's words. Velda sneered at the man who was looking at him seriously.

"Why elo, look at that kayak cave!" Velda asked nervously so misbehaved.

"What did Elo mean? Friend but friendly, elo jealous if the cave lyrics old friend lo, what's her name Tania?" Ninyir Nando smile

Velda's red face kept him pretending to take out the rolled eggs that were no longer warm. "Jealous what, don't be pretentious, yes!" elak Velda both cheeks heated up.

"Then anyway? How come the two cheeks of elo appear red tomatoes?" nosy Nando smile

"Abroad! Here's the egg elo tell the seller extra spicy huh?" elak again the Velda was getting wrong.

Nando knew that the woman next to him was really jealous. Moreover, deliberately avoiding the conversation, he is really happy if his best friend can be jealous even though it is still a pretend relationship.. If Nando imagines this relationship is more serious, he may not have to date this woman for long.

While at Kalandra's house, Arka looked at the sky of her room and raised her phone and continued to see the contents of the message she sent to the woman of her prospective mate nothing in return.

"Where are you? I know you must be angry with me, are you really dating the playboy guy? How good is he than me?" Inner Ark to himself.

Usually his mother sleeps accompanied by a cousin of his mother's sister. Because his cousin couldn't stay in Nando's house. He still has many PKL assignments in his college and work. Fortunately Velda wanted to come for Nando's mother, Velda was very close to him. Velda already considered Nando's mother, the second mother of the biological parents.

"You don't buy food for your mama?" Velda recalled after a night at Adam Malik's Night Market.

"No need, at this hour he can't have dinner anymore. When he got home he was asleep" said Nando

"Yes at least buy something like that, elo every day so same as your mama? Kan, pity her," Velda's scolding began to crumble again.

Velda is very fond of Nando's mother. Therefore why Nando really likes the attitude of Velda's attention to his mother. Moreover, Nando really likes Velda.

"It doesn't need to be night, he's asleep, sorry if he wakes up again." Nando kept clean hard not wanting to trouble the woman beside his driver.

"Caves who want to buy, putu mayung or putu bamboo can also be, the cave is still hungry if you reach your house!" fierce Velda remained insistent asking Nando to stop by the roadside.

With a breath Nando finally gave up, letting the woman take sides. He also want to not want to marginalize the car on the side of the road that lined the night snack carts there are martabak bangka, burger, putu mayung, many more.

Velda and Nando got down from the car, a smile behind Velda's face twinkled. He approached one of the carts looking around let alone the aroma was very clear on his sense of taste.

"Bang, martabak with each other mayung also grate many sheep, yes!" velda said to order from the salesman.

"Ready, Neng!" reply sellers

While waiting for the order from Velda, Nando danced beside the woman glancing around the row of carts.

"Elo don't want a burger? It looks good!" velda offered to Nando.

Nando turned his head towards the back of the wagon just as he stood it. The seller again makes a burger for the buyer again waiting for it.

"No, cave wants to diet," replied Nando flatly.

"Diet, diet mulu. Have bought it, the cave is treatir if not for two, if not run out. How's it?" sanggol Velda clean hard agree to his offer.

Velda hoped that Nando would not refuse, Nando glanced at the woman at the side. He was weakest with any invitation or seduction from this woman. Moreover, the smile from Velda felt like Nando's soul wanted to get out of his body.

"Do you? For both, because the cave has a message martabak same putu mayung. If it does not run out tomorrow can be used as breakfast," continued Velda spoke waiting for a reply from a good friend as well as a girlfriend of the temple.

Long wait, Nando also agreed. Can't refuse from the woman he likes. "Give up, if you're happy, the cave must be happier" Nando said

With a sparkling face Velda also approached the seller and ordered a jumbo burger.

Not long after Velda's order was ready to be wrapped and taken home. Nando so the city did not allow Velda to pay him. Nando was most anti-this, after paying Nando also helped bring the food from Velda's hands. And they continued on their way home.

Arriving at the multi-storey Nando's house, Velda entered secretly afraid to wake him who had fallen asleep. Just about to open the door slowly a lamp in the house lit up was surprised Velda.

"Home home?" welcome Anita (Mother Nando) smile.

Velda went awry because he was not careful when he woke up. "Already, Aunt. How come aunt hasn't slept?" reply Velda smile and go inside bringing the new food bought earlier.

Nando placed the plastic wrap on the dining table. Anita approached and peeked at the groceries of the two of them.

"Buy what is this? How many?" Anita asked Velda and Nando.

"Snacks, Mama's eating?" nando answered and asked his mother.

"Had cooked a boiled egg" Anita replied

Velda turned his head in shock and looked at Nando intensely. Nando shrugged his shoulders and approached his mother.

"No need to see the cave like that, mama cave does like to cook boiled eggs," said Nando took a piece of martabak from the box package.

Plaque!

"Wash your hands first, you were driving, right? Aunty was Velda buying some snacks on the side of the road. Don't eat boiled eggs often, auntie. Velda tau aunty likes very much putu mayung. This is Velda no buy for aunty at a meal huh!" velda said at length, Nando went to the dishwasher to clean both hands.

Anita smiled and must have felt touched at the gift from her son's coworker. Anita expects Velda to be her son-in-law.

At 12:30 pm it was almost dawn. Nando was still faithfully at the dinner table enjoying the food in front of him. Nando accompanied his mother to finish the cantilever. While Velda was bathing, the atmosphere at home was very awkward after the arrival of his best friend Velda.

"Mama hopes that Velda can be your daughter-in-law and also your good wife," said Anita voiced breaking the atmosphere in silence.

"Nando understood Mama's feelings. But, Nando can't force her to love and accept Nando's feelings. He's been betrothed by both of his parents" said Nando.

"That's a shame, yeah. But, Velda was a good and obedient woman. If only she hadn't been betrothed, Mama would be happy to have a daughter-in-law like her."

"Yes, Ma. Nando too, but let the will choose."
