Flavor Anomaly

Flavor Anomaly
Part 2 The same office



Our company is engaged in export and import. A small company that is now growing rapidly and has opened a branch in another city in 6 years after its establishment.


About a month ago Nova and I got training in Semarang. And that's why we're here now. Bandung. As a new branch and recently purchased by our company to expand marketing.


"Yes already. I'll take it first, Tea. If there is anything to ask A Angga," said Mr. Sito, as the owner of the house.


"My shell?!" Hardik Angga rounded his eyes. Not accept.


I followed him while biting his lips, holding back a laugh.


"Thank you, sir," I said, trying to be polite.


He also bailed. This house was deliberately contracted. And our company has paid the rent for the next 4 months. All the furniture is complete. Chairs in the living room with some large urn decoration. Display. Sofa and tv in the living room. Then the mattress and dressing table as well as a study table in two rooms. The kitchen furniture is also complete. If we were going to cook, it would be easier. Quite comfortable.


"Well, empty ...," I snorted as I opened the fridge in the kitchen.


"It was you who grinned. It's nice to really want it to be complete until the food is all?!" Sinis Angga, sip the mineral water I bought earlier.


"Thankfully ate it. But you also need to buy food. That instant noodles, coffee sugar, laundry soap, snacks."


"Ahead is there a minimarket, Mba? Buy it there. I'm nitip cigarettes. In return for nemenin until there it is."


"Anterin napa's. Sekalian yuk's. Tired me."


"Gue's tired too, mba. Push that motor."


"Angga ...," persuaded me by displaying puppy eyes.


"Faaaat!" Then close the bottle and walk out. I followed him with the little ruckus I knew he must have heard.

It's full of my shopping cart pushed by Angga. Not only my necessities, but also some snacks that he chose earlier. "And you're the ngajak. So you pay," he said with an innocent look. Finally I let some hundred thousand pieces of money into the minimarket cash register. For a long time we chose the goods. From one shelf to another. Even had a debate because of different products but we ended up buying both. Time goes faster. Fortunately, the minimarket is quiet. Until we no longer need to wait.


"That's what?" I asked, pointing to a field that looks beautiful.


"Garden," said Angga lazily.


"To get there, yuk."


I pulled his sleeve. He also snorted. But still carrying a fairly heavy grocery bag. The park here is quite shady with several wooden chairs at each corner. There are some cherry trees that are lush in fruit. Reminds me of my childhood. Climb a cherry tree and pocket one plastic fruit that has been red.


Now, dusk began to be seen in the western horizon. The sky that was decorated with a tinge of red amazed me at its charm. This is a painting of an incomparable god.


"More." Angga thrusting a plate of siomay. We are now at the edge of the park with a glass of warm sweet tea. While watching some small children running around or feeding the fish in the garden pond.


"Thank you."


Silent. Still focus on each plate, as well as each other's thoughts.


"You've come home already. I'm okay anyway. Nova may get here in the morning" I said, bribing siomay cut by piece, slowly.


"Related?"


I'm nodding. It doesn't feel good if I keep whining for company. The goose looks exhausted.

The sun had sunk a few hours ago. Leave a thin fog that makes the atmosphere cooler than before. Well, I forgot that this is Bandung. The city is quite famous for its cold and cool air. Different from my hometown.


At 21:00


"Yes there. Sleep, gih. Immediately I return this, too," asked Angga who saw me yawn several times.


"Gue wants to sleep here. If you want to go back, it's okay."


"Why? There's a room like a gaban tuh!" Show it to a dark room. Some of my stuff I put there. It's just that I still refuse to enter it.


"Gue is a bit difficult to adapt if in a new place. Especially alone. It is ... here. Biarin TV nyala. I'll be able to sleep."


He looked, "Why the hell? You scared, mba?"


"Hm .. bit. Not just now. At home itself, too. If anyone else is home, I can go to sleep. But if alone .. yes gini. Sleeping in front of tv. The tv that saw me sleeping. I can't be too quiet."


"It's code? Can't I go home?" Ask with narrowed eyes. And a slightly disgusting expression.


"Why is it with my face?"


"Easter!"


"Haha. Kali joking, mba." The couch cushion I threw at him but he caught it. "Yes, anyway. I'll wait until you sleep. My middle home is okay."


"Really?"


"ye, mba. Not really believing. You go in the room," he said, grabbing a cup of coffee that was still warm at the table. I finally obeyed his words. Besides my eyes are heavy enough, my body is also very tired.


The sound of tv was heard up to the room. The door was deliberately left open, so I know, if Angga is still there. My habits have never changed. A little trouble with sleep. As a result my eyes are always decorated with black circles around it. I can never sleep well alone at home. And anywhere else.


The sound of the tv broadcast made me calmer. Especially Angga who several times shouted if the goal entered the goal. Yeah, balls. He was watching a ball game. Slowly my eyes began to close. Until my body weakens, enter the dreamland.


Samar saw Angga enter the room and cover part of my body with a blanket. Maybe this is the beginning of a dream? I don't know.. It's just that everything feels real.

The morning alarm made me move my hand. Scroll a little device that I always put on the side. The clock is 05:00. Apparently it's morning. With my eyes closed, I got out of bed. Bringing bolsters, walking out of the room. I mean a quick nap on the couch. While waiting I was fully aware. It is still quiet and dark. As I sat down on the sofa, intending to lie back down, I was surprised that there was a cold hand, moving. Automatic my eyes perfectly round.


"Lohs?! Why is this kid still here? Said he'd come home?" I shook his body until he squirmed.


"Wake up?" asked Angga, yawned and rubbed his eyes.


"Gapain you here? Kirain's home yet?" ask me to sit on the couch.


"Where can I go home, you ngigo mulu semalem. Crying anyway."


He sat down, crossed his arms in front. Still half closed while leaning on the back of the sofa. It seems like he didn't sleep well last night.


"What time?" ask me more in the direction of surprise. I thought I slept well and without interruption.


"Yes, mba. Elu ngigo's. Nangis ampe. Do I need to record tomorrow? I can't sleep!"


"I'm sorry .. I didn't realize," I said a little unkindly.


Angga took a deep breath. He ruffled my messy hair.


"Yes it's okay. Yes, I have returned. Late later. You also get ready. I'll pick him up later" he said, moving, stretching his body to make a rumbling sound.


"Go home, yeah. Bye."


Angga left without looking again. Leaving me alone in a semi-conscious state while trying to remember the events of last night. It's just that the ringing of the alarm disperse the daydream. I set the alarm every 30 minutes since morning. Because my habit will return closed even though it has come out of the room. That's how I am, because I've been living alone all this time. There's no alarm from mom every morning, or breakfast when I'm ready to take a shower. Like everyone else.

Bandung air seems cooler than where I came from. I even had to use warm water to take a shower. After the shower I made toast. Apparently there's a toaster machine on the dinner table, too. Breakfast toast with peanut butter and warm milk is more than enough. Because I'm not used to breakfast with heavy meals.


"Cha!" Someone shouted from the door. The noise made me rush out with the cup of milk still in my right hand.


"Yes my. Where are you from, Mom? Really, really," I said seeing Nova get off the taxi with some stuff. Although he looks troubled but his appearance is perfect. She is very good at making make up.


"My mother's habits are complicated. That's yes. Help napa. 8 Hours should be on time at the office. The boss has arrived. Late, slashed you!" He threatened the most horrible thing. I glared at her words. I'll just go in and finish my breakfast. I took him and some of his bags so he didn't babble continuously.


While Nova was still tidying up her things, the sound of the horn in the yard distracted us.


"Guests?" Nova asked in surprise looking at me. As if knowing who our guest was this morning, I immediately sprinted forward.


When I got to the terrace, I found Angga sitting on his iron horse. His appearance was more presentable than before. It even smelled fragrant within this distance. I'm sure it came from him, because my perfume or Nova is not like this.


"Come on! What time is it?" Ask while pointing the watch at the wrist.


"Yes, suck! Uh but ... How about a nova, huh?"


"Well have you arrived?" Tanya Angga turned towards the house.


"Udah."


Angga looks silent for a moment and reached into the device in the jacket pocket. He typed something until he finally put the device back in his pocket.


"Berez. Just keep me coming here. The hunt is ready."
