Bumil The Hunger.

Poppy can't wait for Budi on the porch. Budi whose promise will come thirty minutes ago until now still has not revealed the trunk of his nose.

Did he forget? Poppy asked in her heart.

A car stopped in front of the fence. Mr. Amin opened the gate. Poppy thought it was Budi's car, but when noticed it was not. That's Reno's car. Poppy pouting.

“What are you doing again? The nights were outside,” asked Reno when he got out of the car to see Poppy sitting on the terrace floor of his house.

“Wait for Mr. Budi,” replied Poppy while pouting.

“What do you want night-night to here?” reno said as he sat next to Poppy.

“Poppy hungry bang, want to eat sea food,” replied Poppy while sulking.

“Ya already Interracial, yes.”

Not yet Poppy answered his brother's offer, suddenly his face turned joyful. Poppy saw the car stop in front of her house. Someone he knew got out of the car and greeted Mr. Amin. Poppy stood up ,

“Nevent gone, Bang. Tuh Pak Budi has arrived.”

With a quick step Poppy approached Budi.

“Poppy carefully walk,”seru Reno follow Poppy from behind.

“Assalamualaikum Bu Poppy – Pak Reno,” saya Budi.

“Waalaikumsalam, Mr. Budi,” reply Poppy.

“Waalaikumsalam, Budi,” reply Reno.

“Let's go Mr. Budi we leave now," Poppy immediately stood up.

“Dadah Brother, We go first, yes. Assalamualaikum,” said Poppy as she waved her hand and headed to Budi's car.

“Pak Reno, I'm sorry. Assalamualaikum,” farewell Budi.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Reno replied while watching Budi who opened the car door for Poppy and his palm cuddled Poppy's head to avoid being hit.

So carefully Budi treated Poppy, Reno said inwardly.

Shortly thereafter, the car began to slide.

“Mother wants to eat sea food where?” ask Budi while looking at Poppy.

“Di restaurant ..... on the road ......” replied Poppy while looking at Budi who was concentrating on driving.

"Okay, Boss, we're ready to slide to our destination" Poppy smiled at the boss.

Then they went back to being busy with their own thoughts.

“Whose Edward's father?” poppy asked to break the silence

“Oh .... he is a hotel & resto entrepreneur as well, just like Mr. Rangga,” replied Budi while concentrating on driving.

“Introduction where?” Poppy tilts her seat facing Budi.

“Delivered alm Pak Rangga,” replied Budi.

“Pak Budi often invited to eat with Mr Edward?”

“When Mr. Rangga was still alive, Mr. Edward often took a meal together,” Budi replied while occasionally turning to Poppy.

“When Mr. Rangga started to get sick, I often refused his invitation. With many reasons works.”

Suddenly Poppy grimaced as she rubbed her stomach which began to bulge.

Look around, though,

“Why? Is anyone sick?” ask her with a worried face.

“Neither, Just laper,” said Poppy rubbing her stomach.

“Sabar, yes Anak Sholeh. Om Budi is trying to be fast until,” said Budi while turning to Poppy's stomach.

Poppy's heart was filled to hear Budi's words. His eyes were glazed over, not feeling his tears flowing. Poppy turned her face away while rubbing her cheek.

He turned to Poppy. He found out that Poppy was moved..He just sighed.

They just kept quiet because they felt tough.

Budi turned his car into a seafood restaurant. The restaurant was empty, the parking lot was empty.

“Alhamdullilah finally arrived,” said Budi after parking his car.

“Finally Anak Sholeh can eat,” Budi said while opening the seat belt.

Poppy looked towards Budi.

I also looked at Poppy,

“Why?”

“Kan actually who wants to eat not only his mother, his son also wants to eat,” said Budi then get out of the car and open the door next to Poppy. Poppy got out of the car. I can't wait to rush to eat.

“Be careful the road do not be in a hurry,” exclaimed Budi who panicked to see Poppy road with a rush.

Poppy turned to Budi.

“Pak Budi the road will be closed later,” said Poppy with annoyance.

Being present is difficult to face the pregnant women, Budi said in his heart.

“Yes, but don't fumble.”

Budi tried to juxtapose but apparently pregnant bumil fast road.

Suddenly.....

“Auw,” heard Poppy scream in pain.

Hearing Poppy's voice in pain Budi quickly approached Poppy who was grimacing in pain.

“Mother why?”

“Sick once? Can you walk?”

“Lumayan. Can walk but limp,” Poppy walk slowly while in pain.

He thrust his arm,

“Hold my arm.”

Poppy hesitated to hold Budi's arm.

“Or Mom want me to carry?” ask Budi while grinning.

Poppy reflex hitting Budi's arm.

“Iiihhhhh shy to see people,” Poppy face instantly met red because of embarrassment.

“From not being able to walk. Later restaurant keburu close,”

Hesitantly Poppy held onto Budi's arm and walked slowly.

“Where do you sit?” ask them when they get to the restaurant.

“Sitting anywhere is up to Mr. Budi.”

Budi spread his gaze looking for a comfortable place to sit.

“At there, yes,” Budi pointed to a table that was in the corner of the room.

“Iya, can,” Poppy follow Budi to the designated place Budi.

Then pull the bench for Poppy, after Poppy sat comfortably then Budi sat in front of Poppy.

A restaurant waiter gave me a menu.

“What do you eat?” tanya Budi flipped through the menu list.

“I want a special sauce crab, cah Kaylan beef, white rice one serving and drink hot orange,” Poppy replied while reading the menu list.

“I want grilled squid, white rice one serving and drink it also hot orange,” said Budi while giving a menu list to the waiter.

After the waiter left,

“Still eating again?” poppy asked because Budi had just eaten dinner, but now he's eating again.

“Still dong. Last time eating steak and hard to swallow,” Budi took tissue.

“It's hard to swallow how? Is the meat hard?” Poppy frowned feeling strange.

“The flesh is not hard, just not good to eat while dibilihati beautiful women,” Budi smile dikulum

“She ate with Mr Edward, but why be a beautiful woman?” Poppy scrunched her forehead.

“Sir Edward came with his daughter. Mr. Edward used to ask me to work at his hotel & restaurant and want to match me with his son.”

Poppy looked at Budi.

“Pak Budi accept the offer?”

A servant came to them carrying a hot orange of their order.

“Excuse me, order hot orange two,” The waiter keeps two glasses of hot orange each in front of Budi and Poppy.

“Thank you,” said Budi.

Take a sip of that hot orange.

“I did not accept the offer and refused to be betrothed to Mr. Edward's son,” exclaimed Budi.

“Why?” Poppy looked at Budi seriously.

Budi sighed, “Entahlah, because my heart and mind said no.”

The waiter brought their ordered food.

“Thank you,” said Budi and Poppy together.

“So Mr Edward invited dinner to talk about what?” poppy asked as she took Kaylan's crab and crab into her plate.

“Nothing, just talking about business development,” Budi takes grilled squid into his plate.

“Only that?” poppy asked in disbelief.

“Yap,” reply Budi.

“Ask Crab and cah Kaylan yes, Mom,” Budi said before taking the crab and cah Kaylan.

“Take it, I won't eat it myself.”

“ I ask the grilled squid, dong,” said Poppy who is interested in trying Budi's grilled squid.

“Please,” Budi thrust a plate containing grilled squid into Poppy.

“Eat a lot. Let Son Sholehnyya healthy.”

“Thank you,” said Poppy with a smile.

They eat quietly. And this one bumil poppy really eats a lot. He ate all the food without remaining.

If usually after dinner with Budi, bumil this snack lots of snacks. But this time Poppy tumben did not ask Budi to stop buying snacks. The atmosphere in Poppy's silent car could not be heard. Budi turned to the side to see Poppy sleeping soundly, Budi smiled to see the pregnant woman sleep soundly.
