HEY JUN

14

During the day, Mr. Zaini called all the teachers who served as the school examination committee. He would take them to lunch together in the school hall. Mr. Zaini has asked his wife to cook a lot and a variety of food. Because in addition to the large number of organizers, their appetite is also large. So no wonder if only for fifteen people, Mr. Zaini told his wife to cook rice as much as 5 kilograms.

It's a habit in Scholar High School like that. If there is an important meeting or event, Mr. Zaini will address his wife as a consumption section. In addition to cost-effective, Mr. Zaini can request directly what menu he wants to serve on that day.

Fortunately, Mr. Zaini's wife is very good at cooking. So whatever her husband's request menu, she can be executed easily. It's just that if you have cooked that much portion, Bu Zaini must ask for the help of his brothers as well.

At exactly twelve in the afternoon, Pak Zaini's family came. They brought a variety of dishes that have been requested by Mr. Zaini. There are rice pohong, corn rice, shrimp krispi, egg balado, goat satay and goat gulai. In addition there is jackfruit pudding and orange syrup ice as dessert.

All the teachers immediately gulped at the amount of food presented in front of them. Mr. Zaini led the prayer and without ba bi bu again they directly devoured the food served.

Lia smiled looking at the behavior of her colleagues. Take rice with a large portion, do not forget they also take all the dishes that exist. No wonder one teacher can bring two to three plates of food.

"Not eating, you?" whisik Andika who was also lined up as a committee with Lia.

"My appetite was instantly lost to them. Wonder what, they didn't eat a year until that?" whispered Lia.

"Not eating, Hani. They rarely eat well like this. Maklumin. Lu ate a meal. Not good with the boss. Later he thought that Lu did not like the cuisine of his wife" whispered Andika again.

Lia nodded. He then took the rice pitcher, about to fill his plate. However, his hand stopped taking the rice because there was no white rice available.

"Why, Lia? How can you not take the rice?" asked Mr. Zaini who apparently noticed Lia's movements.

Lia who was reprimanded like that smiled clumsyly. He wants to answer honestly but is afraid to hurt the feelings of Mr. Zaini and his family. Wanting to answer a lie, he was also confused as to what he was going to say.

Andika who understood the matter of Lia immediately took over the rice barrel. Waiting for his brother will not be finished. Andika knows why Lia hasn't moved to take the rice. Because indeed Lia can not eat rice pohong let alone corn rice.

"Mom Lia why?" asked Mr. Zaini when he saw the centong in Lia's hand moved into Andika's hand.

"Seek for a takein, sir. Biasa... "sahut Dika who was immediately replied to a plot by Lia.

"No, Mr. Zaini! Andika is nosy. I'd like to take some rice but really...." Lia didn't continue her sentence.

"There's nothing white, sir. Lia never ate such colorful rice. Usually white rice" said Andika who immediately replied Lia with a sharp pinch on her thigh.

"Gee... Sorry, Miss Lia. I forgot there was a new teacher. Usually we do eat rice like this" said Mr. Zaini.

"Eh... It's okay, sir. I eat the side dishes."

"Well, where is full then. How about just replacing it with lontong? it still seems suitable if eaten with satay gule" said Mr. Zaini gave an offer.

"Eh. No need, Mr. Zaini. I eat the side dishes. It's okay" stop Lia from feeling good.

Mr. Zaini is not bullying. He then called Mr. Udin to bring Lia lontong. Not to forget, Mr. Zaini also told that the lontong had been cut into pieces so as not to bother Lia later.

Mr. Zaini is like that. The principle is to eat one eat all. One delicious, all delicious. He will not allow anyone to suffer in the midst of the happiness they get.

Mr. Zaini won't let Lia eat his side dish. Because it was the same as making Lia suffer. Mr. Zaini forgot that Lia was not a native there so he did not ask in advance whether Lia could eat corn rice or pohong rice. Mr. Zaini knows not everyone likes rice like that. Therefore, Mr. Zaini still insists on finding alternatives so that Lia still eats well.

Before long a man in a black hat, about the age of Juna, came in carrying a plate containing slices of lontong. She is Noval, the youngest sister of Bu Zaini. Noval walked leisurely towards Pak Zaini who was sitting at the very end of the table.

"It's the barrel, Mas!" noval said while handing over the plate containing slices of lontong.

"Why are you the one who broke? Where's Mr Udin?" tanga Pak Zaini.

"Get the car washed, Mas. The smell of goats everywhere."

"Oh. yasuda. Give it to Miss Lia. The teacher sitting next to Andika" ordered Mr. Zaini.

Noval nodded. He spread his gaze looking for Andika. Noval had known Andika during High School so she did not feel unfamiliar with Andika's face.

Andika waved her hand, giving the code to Noval where she was. Her finger pointed at Lia's face as a gesture if she was the person Noval was aiming for. Noval immediately walks to Andika's place and....

Deg.

Noval didn't blink when he was about to give the plate to Lia. Both of his hands that were ready to thrust the plate containing the slices of meatballs were frozen.

"It's so pretty" Noval murmured.

"Eat, the delivery ojek again ngadat" whispered Dika.

Lia didn't say. He chose to eat his food regardless of Noval who was still standing beside him. Lia didn't feel uncomfortable in the least. He continued to eat casually, biting the pieces of mutton with his meat.

"Noval....!!! Why is he still there?" reprimand Pak Zaini made Noval aware of his daydream.

"Eh, sorry. I want to give this to Miss Lia. Eh... Why is the plate missing?" Noval was confused when he saw the plate he had brought was no longer there.

"That's the plate, Val. I'm going to give it to Miss Lia. You are bengong aja. Fascinated by her?" ledek Dika made Lia stomp her feet furiously.

Noval scratched his nape. He was ashamed of his behavior. Mr. Zaini immediately told him to come out so that Noval did not disturb the teachers who were eating. After all they would be awkward if there were outsiders who were there.

After the lunch was over, the teachers who served as the committee immediately decided to go home. They walked out of the hall in turns. No exception Lia. He rushed to his car while waiting for Andika who was taking her bag in the teacher's room. Andika has said if you want to go home with Lia because the bike went down the engine.

"Hey, wait!!!" Noval yells out to Lia. He immediately ran over to Lia who was about to get into his car.

"Call me, Mas?" ask Lia.

"Yes. You're the new teacher?."

Lia nodded.

"So, my name is Noval. Mr. Zaini's brother-in-law" Noval said as she extended her right hand.

"Lia."

"Lia who?."

"New teacher here" replied Lia cuek.

"Can I have a mobile number?."

"No have. Account number."

"Well, maybe even. Tell me what the number is. Later every month Mas Noval transfers to Lia."

Lia rolled her eyes lazily. He immediately said goodbye to Noval and got into his car.

"Eh there's Noval. Why woy?" chirps Andika who just arrived while carrying her bag and Lia.

"Eh, Andika. This is another new teacher's acquaintance."

"Have you met?."

"It is" Noval replied.

"When you have an acquaintance. I went home first" Andika said then she got into Lia's car.

Noval. He did not believe what he saw. Andika, her friend came home with Lia. Do they have a special relationship? Or are they still brothers? I really want Noval to run and ask Andika directly. However, Noval is late. Lia had already driven her car out of the Scholar High School area.

"Why bengong, Mas Noval?" asked Mr. Udin who suddenly appeared behind Noval.

"Eh, Mr. Udin, just ngagetin. That's the Andika coming home with a new teacher" replied Noval.

"Udah regular times, Mas" said Mr. Udin.

"Ordinary? Andika's boyfriend?."

"No! Pak Andika's brother. The distant brother said. If his girlfriend is Mr. Andika I know. His son, Mr. Village Chief, is next door" replied Mr. Udin, making a smile on Noval's lips.

"Eh, by the way Miss Lia has a boyfriend?" ask Noval again. Looks like he had to pry a lot of info about Lia from Pak Udin.

"Boyfriend doesn't have any. But who has a lot of crush. Even the male student here has a crush on Bu Lia" replied Pak Udin making Noval round his eyes.

Noval mangosteen heard the explanation from Mr. Udin. Looks like he has to move fast so as not to be preceded by people. Noval, who was long-sense, immediately found the idea so that the plan runs smoothly.
