"Khem," Hasan neutralized his mixed and erratic feelings.
"Eat, don't you like tempeh?" hasan tried to melt the atmosphere.
"I really like tempeh, but my taste will disappear and my love will also come back when I feel annoyed," replied Arum.
At once Hasan lowered his head and inhaled as much air neutralizing his increasingly uncertain feelings.
'It turns out that this girl is more stubborn than I thought, she looks sweet when she is silent and looks so charming when smiling but, it will look scary when angry, she said, she looks more like a tiger female who gets angry when her cubs are bullied.' Hasan grumbled in his heart.
"If there's nothing to talk about, I'm sorry." Arum was ready to stand up leaving Hasan who suddenly raised his face shortly after hearing Arum's words.
"Eat first! I'm sorry for what happened earlier," Hasan again said an apology, whether it's been to how many times the word slid freely in his mouth.
Arum who listened to the apology many times from Hasan's mouth finally chose to give up and began to melt the mountain of emotions that had been lodged in his heart. Arum finally undoes the intention to leave and sits back quietly looking fixedly at Hasan then exhales his heavy breath.
"Alright I'll forgive Brother, but next time I ask Brother to find out first the subject before commenting." Arum.
"Well I admit wrong, now tell me what really happened!" pinta Hasan who prefers to give up because at that time he was wrong.
With a heavy heart Arum told all the events that occurred in the cooperative, Hasan's misunderstanding was answered already.
"If it's like that the story is sorry for me," said Hasan after hearing Arum's story.
Although it was not entirely wrong, Hasan apologized for breaking down the emotions of the girl.
"Here it is, after all, I was wrong not to check first the money I took instead took a lot of stuff." Said Arum who did feel wrong in what had happened.
"Then eat! pity Ma'am Hana who has prepared." Hasan.
Without a stale Arum directly devoured the fried tempeh in front of him, actually since earlier Arum had refrained from touching the fried tempeh which had become his favorite food.
Hasan could only smile staring at Arum who was devouring the fried tempe.
"What did you bring Arum?" hasan asked when the netra of his eyes accidentally saw Arum's hand that was holding something, but the item that Arum carried was not clearly visible because it was covered by an abaya that happened to be wide enough that he was wearing.
"It's instant noodles" replied Arum lightly.
"Don't eat instant noodles too often is not good for health!" Hasan who heard Arum's reply immediately expressed his ultimatum.
"Hemm," the short answer Arum gave made Hasan a little irritated.
Hasan who really understands the habits of santri children who like to eat instant noodles immediately worried, Hasan worried if the habit is contagious on Arum, because instant noodles are the food most avoided by Hasan.
"I'm serious Arum" said Hasan.
Hasan's words successfully make Arum confused, because Arum feels Hasan has no right to forbid or regulate his life even though they are familiar.
"Indeed Brother has a reason, why can't I eat instant noodles?" arum asked with a confused frown.
"Instant noodles are not good for Arum's health" Hasan explained.
"Assalamualaikum Brother!!!" husein said in a slightly loud voice.
"Waalaikum salam" said Arum and Hasan almost simultaneously.
"Wihhhh there is an angel of heaven, tumben is here?" asked Husein who immediately sat beside Hasan who actually looked irritated by the presence of Husein.
Husein who had just come directly snatched a single fried tempeh that was on the table with a wide smile showed his row of white teeth sparkling like pearls.
"Where did Hussein come out of?" tanya Arum tried to shift the conversation because she felt lazy to discuss the problem that had happened.
"I just returned from the prince's cottage" replied Hasan who was still faithful with a smile seen on his face.
"Oh," said Arum, a sign of understanding.
"You want to cook instant noodles?" asked Husein who saw instant noodles now in the seat next to Arum sitting.
"Yes, but not." Replied Arum showed his disappointed face.
"Why not be?" ask Hussein.
"LPG in the abis canteen so can't cook." Arum answered Arum's question.
"Tumben late, usually never late always there," said Husein, Arum just put the shoulder mark does not understand.
As usual Hasan was only a listener when Husein joined in if he sedng talk to a woman.
"How about you cook here or at Umik's house?" muli Husein's.
"Can I?" tanya Arum looked at Husein and Hasan alternately.
"If at home Umik certainly may, but if at home Kak Husein you must first permit the same." Husein replied lightly without sin even though he offered something that had not been able to consent from who had a house.
"Sister Hasan, can I cook noodles here?" now Arum turned his gaze fixedly towards Hasan with a look of hope.
"Take care! but there are two conditions you must meet if you want to cook here." Answer Hasan.
"What are you on?" ask Arum.
"Know Kak Hasan, just cook using the conditions." Husein was a little furious to hear Hasan who gave conditions just for hitchhiking to cook.
"The first condition is not to invite your friends to cook here, just you cook. Second condition, you must cook for me!" Hasan spoke as if he did not understand Hasan's words that did not agree on the terms to be proposed by Hasan.
"If it's just cooking I'll cook it, but if it's not to your taste don't protest! plus one more I need someone to accompany me to cook later." Arum agreed to the terms proposed by Hasan, but Arum did not want to lose he also applied the conditions to Hasan.
"You will be accompanied by Ma'am Hana when cooking later," Hasan agreed to the terms given by Arum.
"And one more, cook it later in the afternoon, because I want to eat together plus spend time with my friends." Arum gave the conditions back.
"All right, it's up to you." Hasan immediately agreed to the terms of Arum and immediately stood up leaving Husein and Arum who were still sitting sweetly on the living room sofa.
