They both got out of the car and entered a supermarket that was quite crowded in the morning by noon.
The eagle took the trolly and encouraged her to pick out the groceries her Mama had recorded. While Aisha, the girl just followed where the Eagle was walking without much talking.
But because of boredom was also just muters from earlier, Aisha also asked the Eagle.
“What shopping is it, El? Just from earlier,” asked Aisha growled
“I nyari that's in Mami's note. No meeting feelings.” He complained with a hard face.
Then Aisha checked the small note written by Mother of the man beside her. He read it carefully. Afterwards, Aisha exhaled in annoyance at the stupidity of the Eagle. How could Eagle take him to a shelf containing instant cooking spices if what his mother asks is a seasoning that is still raw.
“Cute me!” Tell Aisha then.
Without much protest, the Eagle followed Aisha. He saw how deft the girl was when choosing cooking spices. Even when he smelled beef to find the best quality.
The eagle felt lucky because he went along with Aisha. Because if he was shopping alone, he would definitely look like a freak who walked into the supermarket just to fend.
Before long the shopping trolley pushed by the Eagle was already fully filled. They also walked to the cashier to pay for all their groceries this time.
The cashier also calculated the total to be paid by the Eagle. After mentioning the nominal, Eagle took out his wallet and paid 5 pieces of blue paper.
They also came out of the supermarket after the cashier employee gave the groceries that had been placed in a plastic bag along with the change. Then they entered the car and drove away from the supermarket towards the Eagle residence.

Arriving at the Eagle's house, they were greeted by the voice of a middle-aged woman who was chatting with her husband. Yes, that woman is Garnetha, the beloved Mami of the Eagle.
“This Ica? Geez very beautiful ya.” Excitement splashy. He even touched Aisha's white face.
“Still Aunt," said Aisha. The woman had even pinched Aisha's cheek so anxiously. Aisha could only smile treated like this. Things like this have happened a long time ago. People who are new to him will definitely feel anxious with his bakpa cheeks.
“Mami don't get on Ica's cheeks! Ntar add big!”
“Ngak papa! Funny to know, Lang. Mommy used to want to have a daughter after your brother. Uh but instead who was born you. Bandel, tengil, nyebelin tree. Luckily Mami loves you very much,” he said. The eagle who heard it was also upset. “Ica can cook? Help Aunt cook yuk!” His words turned their attention to Aisha.
“No jago, Aunt. But I like to help Mama cook at home,” replied the girl.
“Good dong! Comeing! Comeing! We're going to the kitchen now!” Invite her while embracing Aisha's waist higher than her.
The two women of different ages went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for them all. Leaving the Eagle and his father and the new Rajawali joined them.
Arriving in the kitchen, Aisha is given a pink apron with a picture of a disney cartoon character, the mouse mickey right in front of her stomach. The girl held back her anxious smile from seeing her favorite cartoon as a child.
Garnetha who saw him furrowed her brows in confusion. Because, he did not know what made the young girl in front of him smile after he gave the funny apron.
“Come why smile?” Nilam asked in curiosity.
“E-eh? No, Auntie. I'm just anxious to see the cartoon image on the aunty's apron. Back in childhood this was my favorite cartoon,” replied Aisha with a big smile. Nilam laughed loudly because of the girl's faith.
“Hahhaa..... That apron has a friend Aunt's son. He also loves Mickey Mouse.”
“Funny the abisnya,” murmured Aisha who is still heard by Nilam. The middle-aged woman also stroked Aisha's head crest affectionately. I don't know why he could love Aisha at their first meeting.
“You're funny too! Auntie wonder huh! You are cute gini time said Eagle you judge? How dare he lie to Auntie, yes! Every story you tell must be he's rich in it.” The story is long. Expressing his frustration to his youngest son.
They laugh together too. Laughing at the same object, the Eagle. The woman's youngest son in his forties is also the new best friend of a seventeen-year-old young girl.
“You lied Aunty yes, Ca?” ask Nilam which leads to a statement. It caused a frown on Aisha's forehead because it did not understand the intentions of the middle-aged woman in front of her.
“Hah? Mean Aunt? I didn't lie to you.”
“Yes you lied!” Nilam remained steadfast with his argument. Then he continued his words. “You said no cook! But it's really delicious chicken soup made by you.”
Aisha breathed a sigh of relief because it turned out that she was only worked by Nilam.
“Tante made me deg-deg an,” he said. Nilam also laughed loudly because he managed to prank the girl who became a friend of his youngest son.
“Hahaha... You are so funny, abisnya! But Auntie is serious, Ca! Your cooking is really good. Whaaah! This is surely your mother is also good at cooking. Aye right?”
“Tante can aja,” the answer is short.
They were finished with all their cooking without taking a long time. Usually Nilam himself will spend more than an hour to cook. But this time because it was helped by a talented girl like Aisha, he only needed forty-five minutes.
Aisha helps Nilam to arrange his cooking on the rectangular dining table. Nilam called her husband and children to the table.
“Waaaaaah! Mommy cooks really great!” comment Eagle.
“Iya! It is helped by Ica. Isn't that right, Ca?” Nilam asked Aisha a question. Aisha smiled in response to the question.
“Kok tumben Mami cook a lot?” ask Rajawali who had been silent.
“Mami doesn't know either! Suddenly I wanted to cook a lot. Hehe,” Grin Nilam.
"Even keep talking. Let's eat!" take your husband from Nilam.
They ate dishes that had been cooked by two different women of that age greedily. Nilam who saw it also felt very happy. Believe me, husband and children! That seeing you eat so voraciously all the cooking your wife and mother have cooked is a simple thing that is very happy for great women like them. So don't insult their cooking once in a while if you don't want to hurt their feelings.
Huhai! What I'm talking about is actually. You know so well.

On Saturdays like this, both papi and his brother are at home all day. Unless they have other urgent interests. This is what causes harmony in the Eagle family to be very awake.
Aisha feels like she has a new family with Eagle and his family. Their warm attitude is exactly the same as the situation of his family before Aisha's sister went to school abroad and his sister who chose to live with her grandmother in her father's hometown, Padang.
The five of them sat on the sofa in the living room of the house. With Aisha already in Garnetha's monopoly to sit next to him. While the Eagle could only stroke his chest looking at his smiling brother mocking towards him.
"Go away sono! Where is! I really saw Brother's face!" said the Eagle who was upset with this one and only brother.
"Well, why would you try?" asked Rajawali with her innocent look.
"Abang from earlier mocked me right?!" eagle Sentak.
"Well? What the hell are you? Seri! Rich virgin PMS! No one is doing anything!" reply the King who was very happy to tease this 5-year-old sister below him.
While the Eagle can only exhale rough breathing. He regretted bringing his Ica home. If she knew her mother would monopolize Aisha, and not let her chat with the girl, she vowed never to invite Aisha to play at her papal house again.
Aih! There is no way he can refuse the request of his beloved Mami if one day wants Aisha to be his daughter-in-law.
Um... Eagles mean, he is unable to refuse the request of the queen if one day wants Aisha to return to their big house. Yep! Like that was what the eagle meant.
