Eating Together

The short needle of the wall clock has been in the number eight, while the long needle is right in the number three. Adhan Isya has passed, reverberating until echoed throughout the city of Surabaya, but at least Audie did not get the knowledge to take home. The girl noticed Xavier's left hand writing something, until the next second the man stopped and placed the lens glasses perched on his nose on the table.

The 28-year-old boy watched his students, until he finally turned his head in the other direction when he found Audie was also watching him.

"I have explained what is the narrative text, it is likely that this material will appear in the National Exam questions later. To find out how far you have come, I will give you the task of making some examples of Narrative Text, tomorrow I will check." Obviously Xavier who was nodding the three teenage girls in front of him.

However, before nodding in agreement, Audie had to swallow her saliva very heavily. Because, he did not understand in the slightest, even for the definition of narrative text alone he did not know even though Xavier had explained at length.

"Tomorrow everything must be ready, if you forget, I will remind you through the chat group that I have created," he continued.

"All right, Mr. Xavier. Thank you so much for the lesson today" Arini said.

"Together,"

"Oh yes" said Xavier when he had just remembered something.

"...later, in about one month we will hold learning by plunging directly into the field."

Both Beautiful, Arini and Audie, the three raised their eyebrows high because they did not understand what Xavier meant. They looked at each other and put their shoulders together.

"I mean, we're going to go to a place where we're going to find there's a lot of foreign tourists there. But I need to consider first where the location is right, there you have to communicate with the tourists to train your speaking and listening so that you get used to it."

A pair of eyes of the three girls there twinkled, Beautiful hugged her own body while amazed. Xavier noticed the expression of his protege that had suddenly changed. "Not to travel, but to learn. There was no time to play around there," continued the young man, his hands were busy cleaning up his books, dictionary, iPad and ballpoint pen on the table. Occasionally Xavier turned his attention to the sofa, where Bella had fallen asleep hugging a teddy bear.

Just now Indah wanted to clean up her things, but she was silent as strange sounds rang from inside her stomach. Reflexes all eyes on her, then Arini close her ears in front of the belly of the girl.

"Lo Ndah's stomach that sounded just now?" ask the girl with the two eyebrows intertwined.

"He he's... Yes!" An Exquisite crybaby, a smile of shame emanated from his lips.

"Jeez .. very strong sound of your stomach rumbling. Ampe the sound of these crutches" said Arini while playing ten fingers like octopus feet with pursed lips.

"I'll drive you home, it's not good for girls to roam around these nights. But before you go home you eat first. Later it can hurt if held until home," added Xavier who makes Indah increasingly unable to hide his embarrassment.

"No need, Mr. Xavier. Bother it, I can still work." A rejection but hope there is still an offer.

"No papa, but you need to help me cook. Brother Lufy just went shopping, and I asked both of your hands to help me in the kitchen."

"I'm so troubled Mr. Xavier, eating in people's homes." Indah said, but the reality is, his heart in there was jumping up and down in excitement when he heard there was a ration of food.

"Lo anyway, every day has been given a snack, uh .. even hitchhiking to eat at people's homes." Senggol Arini about arm Indah.

The three friends passed to the kitchen behind, while Xavier was carrying Bella's body, leading her nephew to sleep in the room.

Now Arini, Indah and Audie are struggling in the kitchen. There are many ingredients there, until Arini feels confused what he will cook.

"Eh, Ndah!" Arini's nudge on the arm Beautiful, reflexes girls who in the banged turned.

"Lo's gonna cook like Chef Renata, and I'm having trouble choosing what to cook? Try to recommend, what should we cook?" ask Arini. And Audie? I don't know, that girl doesn't have any talent. There is only one talent that stands out, namely staying in love with Xavier until now.

Beautifully raised his head facing the ceiling of the house, while his thumb and index finger he rubbed on the pointed chin, "hmm.... what is it?" thought the girl then.

"Aha, I know. What if we cook spinach soup, corned beef omelet, kale cah, fried chicken and fried vermicelli?" lovely Suggestion.

"OK deh," concluded Arini then dismantle the ingredients that are still wrapped in large plastic.

"Well, what's my job? If you don't tell me, I won't understand."

Beautiful twisting his eyes lazy, "mending you cook omelet aja deh, Audie. But do not have time to rub yah like yesterday. You may be timid, girls can't cook."

"Yes-yes, I'm not going to make a burnt omelet. Anyway, yesterday I was taught how to cook."

"What cooking lessons?" ask Arini who was washing the vegetables.

"Learn to cook instant noodles,"

Instantly the slightly filled girl got a slap on her shoulder. Who else would have done it if it wasn't beautiful.

At this time Audie is busy making omelet, not long ago, corned omelet has been cooked without a scab.

"what now?" ask Audie after the task is done.

Beautifully pointed to the frying pan on the stove, "uh, I've entered the spinach, you stay oseng-oseng."

Audie held her thumb up in the air in line with her chest, "okay, deh!" Exclaimed the girl, her hands nimbly stirred the spinach stir fry, the aroma smelled everywhere, making the Beautiful worms that had been a demo asking for rations are now getting marajalela in there.

"May, Arini ..." Call Audie, the frown just suddenly struck his heart.

"What?" his two best friends.

"I think I need to be a vegetable last night!" Said the girl in a soft voice.

"Make what?"

"Let me be warmed up to Mr. Xavier." One slap landed on the girl's forehead.

Xavier who had been in the kitchen since unbeknownst to Audie and his friends immediately coughed when the mineral water he drank was still in the throat. The reflexes of his three students turned their eyes towards him.

"God ... Since when was Mr Xavier there?" inner Audie. The shame was again emanated on both of his plump cheeks.

Xavier took the ice in the freezer, "it seems like your brain needs to be frozen and heated" said the young man suddenly, making Audie, Arini and Indah stunned because it was very rare for Xavier to enter the conversation between them. Moreover, talking about Audie was a very rare thing.

"...let your brain watered," continued Xavier who made Audie bow in lethargy. Maybe Audie thought the man would have bombed him exactly as he had just done, but it turned out that everything was not up to expectations.

Then Xavier walked over to cook the kale, his left hand was busy blotting out the vegetables already like a real chef. The man who works as a lecturer is indeed a left-handed man, he uses his left hand more than his right hand for various jobs. This habit has been done since he was a child, so it is very difficult to stop the habit.

Audie's eyeballs were rounded wide, he stared in amazement at Xavier. How could the man be more skilled in the kitchen than himself.

After everything was cooked, the three teenage girls served all the menu tonight on the dining table. They all ate the food solemnly after Xavier finished offering the do'a.

The beautiful who was about to die of hunger could not comment anymore, whether the cuisine was sweetness or salinity he did not care, what was important to him was that his stomach was full and the worms in his stomach stopped to demo in there.

No one wants to talk while eating food, let alone talk when eating is not good, so there is only silence. Every now and then the atmosphere is broken by the twang of spoons and forks clashing against each other on a plate. Although Audie's omelet has a slightly strange taste, no one wants to blame the girl, no one wants to blame the girl, they just want to try to appreciate someone's hard work.

After dinner, Xavier takes the students to their homes. Right in front of the Arini and Indah complex, the two girls went down. Next Xavier delivered Audie, because the complex of the girl's house coincided after the housing of the complex of his two best friends.

"I should just get down here, Mr. Xavier." Audie said as Xavier continued to push the bugatti into the housing.

"I've known the parents of both of your friends. Now I want to get acquainted with your parents as well for the friendship.I need to ask, why are you so difficult to accept every material that I convey. You need to know, every educator needs to be a counseling teacher as well, not just focus on the field," explained Xavier, Audie just exhaled a long breath, as if Xavier considered him the most stupid student.

Arriving in front of Audie's house, Xavier parked his car. When Audie was about to get out of the car, for a few seconds he tried to recognize the woman who was on the porch of his house while sharpening his vision.

Not long after Audie's brother named Irfan came out of the house and his hand held the girl's hand in a light blue dress.

"Alea?" audie's mummy asked.

Xavier who just got out of the car makes Audie more panicked, do not have time the man found his fiancee was alone with another man. Audie quickly opened the seat belt wrapped around his body and immediately got out of the car. The girl stretched out her hands before Xavier intending to block the private teacher's steps.

Xavier's eyebrows raised, brown eyebrows are very neat, when watching the insanity of his protege. "Why?"

"B-Look, Sir. Should Mr. Xavier come anytime, I just remembered that there was no one in the house. My parents haven't come back from out of town." The reason Audie made Xavier feel strange about his behavior, was because Audie said it in a nervous state.

The 148-year-old girl stepped in to block Xavier's vision of stealing into his doorstep, Audie's hands still stretched.

"SIR XAVIER!" Audie's shout was right in front of Xavier's face as the youth netra before him almost saw Alea and Irfan were about to enter the car. Irfan's vehicle was a bit far parked from Xavier's car, so they did not see Audie and Xavier were also there.

Audie quickly turned the chest of Xavier's field, forcing the private tutor to immediately enter his black car. Xavier who is still suspicious of the Audie gelagat finally he can only resign, he turned on his car engine and then drove off the grounds of the Audie house.

After Xavier's departure, Audie immediately stroked his chest in relief. Although he felt foolish to have saved Alea, but he only wanted to protect Irfan's heart from the heartache that would make him do the incident two years ago.

...Whatever I do is wrong in his eyes. Even when I turned upside down, or even went through the labyrinth of death, he still didn't care....
