Since the events in the park. Salim took care of me very strictly. Wherever I go with Ayu and Rani, Salim always comes along. I'm honestly still traumatized by that. Kak Dimas who was thought to be good turned out to be just as sneaky as Bisma et al.
Like this time, Dad assigned me and Salim to Palembang. There is a buyer who will discuss cooperation with our company. Although, Salim was already a fiancee. Eyang Uti still forbade me to go alone with Salim. So yesterday Eyang Uti called Ayu's parents who happened to be Chinese Palembang to accompany us. Not spared Si cempreng Rani.
"Oi'm dulur! Po news?" Say Ayu who has started with her hometown accent.
"I didn't go home for a long time," he continued.
"Where are you going, Yu? Your house is here," said Rani with disdain.
Ayu did not respond to Rani's words. He is engrossed in selfie ria. An irritated Rani clings to Ayu's head.
"Review you huh? Sick tau?" Shouted Ayu with a glare.
They are like****** and cat if found. However, they need each other. That is the unique thing about my friends.
"La done lum! Long time ago you, Lim," Ayu murmured with a dialect that changed with her house accent that saw Salim put our luggage into the trunk of the car.
"It's finished beautiful Ayu," Salim said in response to Ayu's fuss.
"Amboi doubt you, Lim today."
I understand the meaning a little. He turned towards Ayu. Ayu laughed instead. Crazy people.
"Well Ayu wes mari kabeh? Ojo get your medicine." Order eyang Yaya to me before leaving. [It's all done? Don't forget the medicine]
"Do we have to let Ave go, sir?" ask Mom who is worried.
"Ojo kawarno Cah Ayu's. Wes akeh sing watch. Ana Salim, Rani lan Ayu," said Eyang Yaya who responded to the nod by Rani and Ayu.
"But Mr--"Resistant Mother wasn't sure if she'd let me go far by car.
I hugged mom. "Ave will be fine, Mom. When else can Ave get to know my dad's business partner."
Mom nodded despite the worry.
"Wes ndang bugal. Selak bengi," said Eyang Uti to take us away. [It's fast to go. Night hunt]
It's the first time I've gone without Mom and Dad. There are only Salim, Rani, Ayu and Pak Burhan the plantation driver. Mr. Burhan will take turns driving with Salim. Me and Rani sat in the middle. While Ayu has been out since earlier in the back. Ayu can't smell gasoline or diesel. So he had to sleep so as not to get nauseous. I drank Antimo.

The trip from Malang to Palembang made my ass hurt. Just imagine from Malang to Surabaya Airport to Palembang has been over an hour. I just read a magazine. I glanced at Rani who had been busy with her phone.
"What are you looking for, Ran?" aska I want to know.
"I'm looking for good food in Palembang" he replied, staring at the screen.
"Pempek Palembang, Ran," said Salim behind the wheel to replace Mr. Burhan.
"Good camp on Sudirman Street, Lim. That's delicious. Gua aja demen," said Ayu who was awake from his sleep.
Again, he used his daily language.
"Ye lu's. Eating quickly, he replied. Try exams. Lazy deh lu," sewot Rani who was upset with the behavior of Ayu who was snoring.
I coughed because I wanted to laugh to see them.
"Oh my goodness, Vel. You're coughing, anyway. Did you take the medicine?" Anxious Rani while glaring towards Ayu.
I'm nodding.
"You guys don't fight anymore. It's old to still fight," said Salim from the front.
Ayu snorted in annoyance.
Finally Salim complied with the request of my two friends. Today we will have a special meal of the city. The famous pempek.
"Who's calling you anyway, Vel?" asked Salim who noticed I was not calm because the phone kept ringing. I don't know.
"Don't know about Ave. Secret fans of the times," Rani chimed in jokingly.
Ayu picked up my phone that didn't stop singing.
"This napo? You don't know you," said Ayu with the accent of her house.
Clik....
"Who's Yu?" I asked again because Ayu answered the phone.
"Not knowing you. Your secret friend of the time," he said while enjoying his favorite meal.
Right said Rani. Ayu's dining business number one.

After arriving at the hotel, we split up temporarily. Rani and Ayu are enjoying their vacation. Salim and I will meet with the hotel manager to meet the owner. PT. Jayanatra will supply tea and other food products to the Hotel owned by Mr. Stevanus. The quality of tea produced from our plantations is beyond doubt. Many famous hotels and restaurants supply tea from us. Praise God for giving it all.
Almost two hours of this meeting resulted in good cooperation. Hotel Valicia has signed a cooperation contract. Salim and I were satisfied. From a distance I saw my two friends talking.
"Where are you guys from?" ask them both.
"We're from the Plaza across the street. Good stuff," said Rani happily.
"Yu, what are you looking at?" Salim was astonished by Ayu who was wailing indistinctly.
"God..." Ayu scratched her head. "That's how I saw there's Bisma and Dimas in the Plaza."
I'm surprised I can't believe it.
"If you speak rightly, Yu. The duo's days are following us" Rani said uncertainly.
"Yeey told me you didn't believe it. Oath to the fur of the gorilla's ketek." Ayu does not want to lose in speaking.
"Where do gorillas have sticky fur." Rani commented with annoyance.
"Let's go to the cave. They were FoodCourt there," asked Ayu to take Rani to the Plaza across the street.
I was about to follow them, but was arrested by Salim.
"Let Salim see. Ave's in the room. Don't go anywhere until we arrive" said Salim, calming me in a panic.
How could they follow me? Is it true that the threat Dimas said?

What threats will Dimas and Bhishma pose?
