About A Taste

Plan

After going to the big market, their destination this time was Plaza City Mall. According to Mama's youngest will. My mom will also meet her friends. Wardah's feelings are starting to get a little bad. Meeting friends will take a long time. Will she be able to watch the mothers talk?

Alif had already gone to the other side to avoid the gossip of those mothers. Wardah was about to catch up with Alif, instead arrested Mama to sit next to him. Pass already this self.

"This is your eldest son Sar? How was it different from last?" ask one of my friends.

"This ghost candidate, hahaha," replied Mama. Wardah's face was red instantly. He is happy, undeniable. But she was afraid that Mama would not like her anymore when she found out that she was actually a widow.

"My eldest son is following her husband in service outside the city," continued Mama again.

"Mantu candidate? Is this Eza's girlfriend? It was beautiful" asked the mother.

"Like the petite yes," quipped the other mothers. Success makes Mama growled.

"Eh! You were the morning journal presenter on tv, right?" yell at one of the others.

Wardah smiled and nodded politely. Suddenly the mother took a picture of Wardah. Mending ask for photos now, rather than later added many fans difficult mo ask for photos.

"If you want to join Alif not papa Dek," said Mama.

Of course Wardah agreed. He could not bear to see one of Mama's friends looking at him cynically. Wardah approached Alif who was sipping blanded coffe.

"What do you want to order, brother? Let Alif order," said Alif.

"No need, I order it myself," replied Wardah who prefers to order a coffee latte.

"Sister! Really, sister Eza is not dating?" alif asked when Wardah had his order.

"Yes, I'm not really dating. Why ask that?" ask Wardah back.

"Don't be pitted against Eza's sister but,"

"Yes no! Why?" ask Wardah to get curious.

"Sister Eza has a picture of her brother in his office! It's in his wallet, too" whispered Alif.

"God, don't bother" replied Wardah. Where could an Eza keep his picture. Where'd he get it from?

Alif invites Wardah to walk around while waiting for the mother to reunite. From one stand to another. From one store to another. Until we have tasted some of the food available in the food court.

Wardah returned to mansions when dusk was about to disappear completely. My mom talks to her friends so much. Even Wardah has been driving around the Mall back and forth with Alif.

"Assalamu'alaikum," said they entered the mansions. Followed by Mamang-mamang who helped bring cooking ingredients to the kitchen.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Papa and Eza who happened to be waiting in the living room.

"Eza Sama Wardah went straight back to the apartment, it was late in the afternoon too," said Eza.

"Hey! Don't rush Za, Dedek's still tired of new datan. Go home after dinner alone," said Mama.

"Eza bring ingredients yes Ma, instead of eating at home," continued Eza.

"Yes, bring a lot of Za! Take Dedek later, too," replied Mama. He rushed to the kitchen to pick up a large plastic containing some vegetables and other cooking ingredients.

Returning home from the mansion, Wardah immediately cleaned the apartment and put vegetables into the refrigerator. Eza had also asked him to cook the vegetables that Mama had given him.

Only then did Wardah dabble with kitchen utensils. Not long after, the apartment bell rang.

"Assalamu'alaikum" Eza said. He was neat with a simple black shirt combined with a brown holster. Looks like this guy's prayers are over. He was not alone, there was Alif standing behind him. He insisted on going with his sister.

"Waalaikumsalam, monggo please come in," replied Wardah.

"Sir Wardah hasn't had a bath yet? Not praying what?" ask Alif who has gone in. Wardah hasn't had a shower yet, she's still wearing that shirt. The difference, now she uses a simple bergo hijab.

"Hehehe, again udzur," replied Wardah with red cheeks.

"So soon, dinner's not ready. I continue cooking first" Wardah said back to the kitchen.

Alif chose to sit in front of the tv. Eza followed Wardah to the kitchen.

"Eh! Why are you here, Mum?" asked Wardah shocked by the presence of Eza who helped him peel the onions.

"Batuin you cook, let the cepet finish," replied Eza.

"No need, my guest. So let me just cook," Wardah said.

"Syuuth, I am hungry too." - Eza reasoned.

Wardah exhaled his heaviness to feel careless at the reason of his boss. Finally, he let his boss help him cook.

"Friday tomorrow we leave. We've booked Mas Farhan's ticket." said Eza to the point.

"Where?" ask Wardah in shock. Saturday morning broadcast.

"Anisa's Babymoon" replied Eza.

"Can't Mas" whined Wardah.

"Could, your work I have asked mbak Zizi to handle it." replied Eza.

"Maasss, I don't feel good about office kids" he whined again.

"There is no denial of Dedek. I took a shower, let me continue cooking" replied Eza. This time he must succeed in gaining Wardah's heart.

Feeling that there was no room to argue, Wardah chose to go to the room. Body cleaning. He'll persuade Eza later.
