Love Alone
101. Rendang
"Dripping? Just know you, if I like rendang!" said Gita excited when she saw rendang in a container carried by Dandy.
"Yes, this rendang Solo is not rendang Padang. Suitable to eat with gudeg Jogja. Especially if there are crackers, added maknyus!" sahut Dandy while opening all the food containers he brought. There are rendang, gudeg and sambal krecek.
"Yes, I don't have crackers! This must be really good. I'm trying to?" ask Gita while taking each of the typical Jogja cuisine.
Dandy followed what the Gita did. Fill the plate with rice and all the side dishes he brought earlier.
"Hmm..it's delicious! A combination of flavors that are very fitting, there is sweet and savory from rendang and gudegnya. Keep spicy sambal kreceknya fit really. It's completely sweet, savory and spicy." praise Gita with a mouth full while chewing her food.
"Don't say much! Swallow it up first, choke on it!" Dandy reminds Gita not to talk while eating.
Gita just gave her thumbs up while continuing to feed the food to her mouth. He eats with gourmand.
Gita's culinary hobby makes Dandy easy to approach. Dandy knows what Gita likes, therefore it is not difficult to get close to Gita.
"Alhamdulillah, very full!" gita said after they finished eating and washing dishes.
"You cake doesn't eat a year tofu, does it?" tease Dandy while laughing.
Dandy saw how it was when Gita who was zealously beating food. Gita is not a girl who likes to jaim in front of the men, Gita is a girl who is what she is. His behavior is always what it is, never made up or covered up. Gita always behaves like this is what I am.
"Winter, wlek!" sahut Gita fast.
"Boy is forbidden to eat much!" continued later.
"Beyond? How can I not feel?"
"Basic! Eat to live, not live to eat. So just eat enough, don't overdo it!" dandy advised in a soft voice.
"Yes, yeah! Mr. ustadz mulu lecture," ledek Gita while laughing.
"Delivered as well, even sneered! I'm stubborn, still dare to cheat again. Hhh..." Dandy said while shaking his head.

Brandon is still staying at the hotel, the plan is he will buy an apartment close to the Gita. But until now, he has not obtained an empty apartment that is one flat with Gita. There's actually an empty one, right in front of Gita's apartment. It's just that the owner still has affairs abroad. Just come home next week.
Brandon has repeatedly contacted the apartment manager. However, the person did not dare to take off the apartment without the presence of the previous owner. Brandon also tried asking for an apartment that was one floor below the Gita. But all was filled, so inevitably, Brandon had to stay in the hotel until he could make a sale and buy the apartment.
"It's hard to get your heart inside, but I'm pretty sure you still love me. Is my mistake unforgivable, so that you can deny your own feelings?" brandon murmured while exhaling cigarette smoke from his mouth.
Brandon is confused about how to approach a woman. He even learned from Mbah Gugel. She looks for articles related to falling in love and how to express them. Again, the article did not give him knowledge.
"Tomorrow reason especially yes, let's not meet without drama like that. Curious, I want to know what his life is like here. Should I follow her activities secretly?"
