For My Brother's Sakes I'm Getting Married Young

S2 CHAPTER 8

Two days passed. That morning Egi refused to leave the room. He dropped off for breakfast and went back to the room.

Egi did not want to part with the pile of books he was reading. I don't know what makes this man so comfortable chatting with the thick sheets of books.

Lisa and Rendy were gone from ten in the morning. They were going to Dira and Dika's house, to enjoy the weekend together. Meanwhile, Adnan still feels at home surfing in cyberspace through his mobile phone.

In the room, the middle Egi pokus reading. Time has gone by noon. The voice of Adzan dzuhur reverberated melodiously. Egi ended his activities, then rushed to carry out his obligations.

Finish praying. Egi still refused to move. His mouth still uttered sholawat demi sholawat. Suddenly a soft knock came from outside. Egi stopped, then stood up to open the door.

"Uncle." Adnan was seen standing behind the door.

"What's wrong?" ask Egi.

"Mother's phone call. Said Uncle Dika and Aunt Dira were baberque. I was told to bring uncle, ", said Adnan.

"What time?" ask Egi.

"Mother's word was Uncle and I was told to go there now. But, Mother nitip buy some less needs. It's just me-,"

"Why you?" ask Egi back.

"I want there to be a need first. Uncle's shopping, yeah!" adnan Pinta.

"habits. Your mother told you, not uncle!" firmly Egi.

"Come, Uncle!" adnan Reduline.

Egi sighed, then said, "Alright. But remember! Don't go that way again, if told to by parents."

Adnan nodded slowly.

"Then I go first, yes. I need to be with my friend!" pamit Adnan's.

"Be careful!" egi Message.

"Yes, Uncle ice." Stepping away was afraid the Uncle was angry.

Egi just shook his head. He saw the watch in his hand. Time has shown at two o'clock in the afternoon. Egi said, "I'd better go to the supermarket now. I have to ask Lisa first. What he needs!"

Egi re-entered the room. Unscrew the scabbard and peci, then put it back in. He snatched the car keys, and a loyal mobile phone accompanied him.

Not forgetting before shopping. Egi sent Lisa a message, asking what she should buy.

When he was about to go out he met Mang Asep who was relaxed with a glass of coffee.

"Eh, is Den Egi coming out?" asked Mang Asep friendly.

The man's hair was already starting to gray. His strength is not as strong as it used to be. However, his execution is beyond doubt. Although, Mr. Adrian is dead, but Mang Asep is still loyal to the Rendy family.

"Yes, Mang. Oh, yes later when I meet Bi Iyah. Please, tell me I want to eat out tonight!" egi Message.

"Yes, Den." Nodding slowly.

"Then I go first, Mang. Assalamualaikum." Stepping away left Mang Asep.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Mang Asep.

Egi gets in the car immediately. Drive the four-wheeled vehicle to enliven the city streets.

Lisa answered the message. Egi immediately look for the nearest supermarket that is in line with the direction of its destination.

After finding a shopping place. Egi rushes to park the car, then starts his hunt. The shopping list that Kakanya sent was very long.

"This is Lisa's sister told me to buy less needs, does it tell me to shop all the needs for the event later tonight," thought Egi.

While pushing the trolley. Egi picked up one by one the items he needed. Since Junior High, Egi has been used to being told by Lisa, to shop for home needs. So, no wonder this man so understands the place of every item.

When he was about to take a snack, his hand accidentally came into contact with another hand. Egi glanced towards the owner of that hand. His eyes were round, looking at the person who was picking up the same item.

"You!" said Egi.

Egi's eyes examined the appearance of a girl he had not seen in two days at college. The girl was seen wearing a long-sleeved tunic suit, trousers with a pasmina hijab covering the chest. Makes Egi feel in disbelief.

"You're Zahra, Adnan's friend?" ask Egi.

"Yes, Uncle ...," said Zahra.

Zahra is used to playing with Adnan. Making himself also call Egi with the title Uncle like the third triumvirate.

"You want this?" Pointing towards the snack they had taken together.

Zahra nodded slowly.

"Take it! I can take another taste!" Grab a snack from the shelf, then store it in Zahra's shopping cart.

"Thank you, Uncle," great-grandson of Zahra.

Egi did not answer. He rushed towards the meat display. Her heart was still slightly pounding looking at Zahra's sweet appearance.

"He looks prettier, if so," Egi murmured softly.

All the list needs are already filled in the trolley. Egi rushed to the cashier, then paid for it. Two bags of food and various needs he tenteng towards the car.

When to park. Egi sees Zahra calling someone. I heard Zahra talking to the guy on the other end of the phone.

"Well, how come you can't pick it up!" lamented Zahra.

"Sorry, Ra. Mom asked us to help at home. But, did you make our snack buyin?" ask Riko.

"Yes, Bawel. Haduh, if I think this will be. I asked Mang Jaka aja anterin to the supermarket, can go directly there," said Zahra.

"What did you go to the supermarket?" ask Riko.

"Naek Scrooge" replied Zahra. "Yes, already. I'm gonna take a cab. Assalamualaikum."

Zahra put her phone back in her bag. Egi was still watching the movements of the girl. He put his groceries in the trunk first.

Egi stepped over to Zahra who was about to exit the parking lot. Egi said, "You want to go to Riko's house?"

Zahra. His eyes were staring at Egi. The few seconds their gaze met, it rendered Zahra's heart helpless.

As strongly as possible Zahra was acting ordinary. Zahra said, "Yes, Uncle."

"Come, come with me!" egi.

"HUH!" exciting Zahra.

"Don't be surprised like that. I'm going to Riko's house too. If you want, you can come with me." Turn around to his car.

Zahra who was still shocked, hearing many words that Egi said from the man's mouth made him speechless.

Egi who usually only answered with a sharp gaze like a lion was ready to pounce. This time, he talked a lot with himself.

"Would you come or not?" ask Egi a little loudly.

"Yes, Uncle. I'm coming with." A little run up to Egi.

Because I was too excited. Zahra's legs tripped, until his body was shaken. Egi who was right in front of him deftly grabbed Zahra's body. Egi's intention is just so that the girl doesn't fall.

"You're not a child anymore. Why do I have to run!" gently scold Egi.

Egi immediately removed his hand from Zahra's waist. He does not want to stay in a position that can cause slander. What's more, their position is in the crowd.

"Sorry, Uncle. I just didn't want to make Uncle wait for long," Zahra said softly as she lowered her head.
