After he told Alex to go to the stall to buy the wing bread that Resty needed, apparently the man chose to go to the supermarket in the city. All in all, he wanted to take cash from the only ATM card he had.
Alex has gotten into a pretty hot-selling self-service in that small town. The man went straight to the shelf where the sale was to be bought. After being in front of the various arrangements of pads with various brands available, of course the man became confused himself had to buy which one. If only he had not lied to Eyang Asih if he did not have a mobile phone, it might not be this complicated. Just take a photo and send it, then you'll know which one to buy.
As for asking the people around Alex was too embarrassed, because this was his first experience buying a special object for the woman. Even now the man deliberately uses a mask to cover his face, anticipating that later he will meet with people who recognize him.
Alex is still pacing around that shelf alone. Being in his hands already carrying a shopping cart filled with various light snacks that he deliberately bought for Resty. Because he knew the girl liked to snack, because he remembered when playing at Resty's house a few moments ago.
Feeling the attention of some people who happen to be around Alex was in a hurry to take the origin that he believed was quite good, because the brand he took was often seliweran in TV ads.
Then the man immediately queued at the cashier in an orderly manner. There is also Alex is still the subject of a ciwi-ciwi spectacle that happens to be in line as well, even mothers who are not less kepo to dare to pat Alex on the shoulder to trace his shoes.
"For whom?" asked an elderly mother, while her eyes were a little glistening at the pads Alex had bought.
Alex smiled clumsyly, but certainly invisible to the mother because of the mask he was wearing.
"So remember your ex-boyfriend, look at your young boy shopping that's the thing."
Alex was stunned for a moment. "Former girlfriend?" surprised muttering.
Judging from the age of the mother is not much different from the age of her mother. But if you still talk ex-boyfriend, when did the mother still demen dating?
"So men should help each other. Not going to go down as well even though you have to shop. Which there is more dear to the couple." exclaimed the mother.
Alex responds with just a nod of his head. Too lazy to go back to chiming in, let what the mother said just want to talk to her again.
Luckily, Alex's turn is now at the checkout. Immediately Alex took down his groceries, and the cashier only smiled knots as he held the wing bread he bought.
"Bak," said Alex to the cashier.
"M--That's good, isn't it, Ma'am?" tanyakanya. Actually shame, but for the sake of good should ask rather than later wrong choose.
"I mean, Mas?"
"Friendly and good. Emm-Ms brand."
The cashier smiled, knowing what Alex meant.
"Ooh.... It's!"
Alex was getting more and more, as the cashier lifted the pad in front of him.
"It's good, Mom. Not wrong choice. Who the hell is it for? Wife huh?"
"Still being a girlfriend is like this. Want dong list to be a future wife." chirped the cashier, which of course is just tempting.
Alex just kept quiet. In his heart he agreed that he could still share his attention and also hope that later only Resty would be his life companion.
Shortly after that Alex immediately headed for a special two-wheeled parking lot, because indeed Alex went to this city by riding an old motorbike which he said belonged to the late husband eyang Asih.
In the middle of the trip the man stopped for a moment at a stall selling rames rice to fill his stomach that is still not filled since leaving from the house earlier. Being very hungry, it did not take long for the man to finish his food.
Then after that Alex planned to continue his journey, but suddenly the old bike was difficult to light up again. Feeling something was wrong with his engine, the man pulled his bike to a safer place. Carefully examine which engine parts are problematic, and then find the cause of the motor broke down because it had to replace the spark plug of the new motor.
"Aah, shit! Around here where's the workshop?" the gerutu alone.
While then asking the people around who apparently the nearest workshop appointed is still quite far when taken by foot.
***
Eyang Asih looks restless while sitting at the guard post with Saleh, waiting for Alex who never came. If only Alex had a cell phone, maybe the old lady wouldn't be this golden. Saleh still looks ordinary. He was sure if Alex would not go far, unless his old bike was probably why, because it often broke down.
"Saleh, I'm not sure Alex doesn't have a phone. During the time of bankruptcy hape aja until sold? Hape is important. Who knows if his family will call. What if this is how? Just makes people worry, right?"
Eyang Asih was really very worried about Alex, so he was too worried about the man. Although his status here is only limited to his workers, but Eyang Asih has also considered Alex as part of his family as well.
Saleh was just flinching, even though the master asked him. Actually, he also wondered why Alex deliberately did not activate his phone, which should Alex still have a cellphone. I don't know what the reason is Alex did that.
While Kenzo and Sisil, father mama Alex, every day continue to contact Saleh to know how Alex is now. Starting from the confusion of both Alex's parents and also from Ara who had difficulty contacting him, until finally Sisil took the initiative to ask Saleh who turned out Alex was with Saleh in his village.
When I first heard Alex here came to work, as a parent, of course, shocked. But for the positive effect that Saleh tells us that Alex is getting more focused after being here, Sisil and Kenzo let it go. Until the time comes, then Sisil and Kenzo plan to follow Alex there.
"Hey, Saleh. I'd like to ask you one serious question about Alex. Please answer honestly, because it's my grandson Resty."
Saleh looked seriously at Eyang, a little nervous while waiting for what his employer would ask him.
"Tell me how Alex is. His family, his behavior, everything about Alex. Because I don't want my granddaughter to be disappointed later on. I'd better know from the beginning, before my granddaughter likes him even more."
Eyang Asih said so because he should know everything that concerns Alex. Here the man is indeed well behaved, who knows outside there even the opposite. Especially if you remember the fate of the romance of his mother Resty during his life, of course, Asih really wants Resty later to live with a man who really loves him.
