Love for Time

Chapter 16 - Night Market

Cheryl could not hide her feelings of pleasure from being invited to the night market by Dimitri. I don't know the pleasure it's because of the person who invited him or the place he's going to be. To be sure, Cheryl can't wait to see the night market, the last time she was there as a child with Grandma.

Salatiga is a small city, the distance from one place to another is not far. They only took ten minutes to arrive at the night market, that was because Dimitri deliberately drove the bike slowly. He wants to spend time with Cheryl.

Dimitri followed the directions of the parking attendant there. There is a vacant lot where visitors park their vehicles. Some cars are lined up there, but there are more motorcycles.

Visitors who come from various circles, from old to young, children to infants, students and workers who just came home from the office. They all had to walk a few meters from the parking lot to the night market.

The field commonly used for football, now transformed into a carnival. Colorful tents are scattered in various angles, cheap games rides are festive and suitable for student pockets become a special attraction for visitors.

Mandir traders offer trading. A sweet aroma emanated from a stall that sold the soft colorful cotton. One of the stalls that is crowded with visitors.

The clear bubbles of soap bubbles were large and small flying and shortly erupted in the air. The sound of a telolet and a mini train of children increasingly brighten the atmosphere.

Cheryl was stunned to see all this. For him this place has its own luxury. His eyeballs sparkled - a twinkle of amazement, as if he had just set foot in the night market for the first time. Yes. The introvert goes out of her shell.

The bright, colorful lights made the night market feel like daylight. Cheryl and Dimitri walk between a clothing stall and other knickknacks.

The sellers are eager to sell their merchandise.

"Kaos foot midget three. Cheap but not cheap!"

"Come, come on, mother - mother, father - father!"

"Balloons! Balloons!" Telolet!

Ciap ciap...

"Yuh! Pitike rainbow! Monggo, Mommy, Ma!"

"Aw! Funny thingy. "cuckle Cheryl.

He ran a little toward a large wooden box containing chicks whose feathers were colorful. They are busy walking here and there and bersiap.

"Red ijo yellow blue, colorful. Be chosen! Chosen!" A man in a round hat was more eager to offer when he saw Cheryl approaching, hoping Cheryl adopted one of the chicks.

Cheryl squatted watching the herd of nimble chicks. The fur is painted with a vise. Dimitri was silent - silently watching the surroundings, alert. Usually crowded places like this, not only attract visitors but also pickpockets.

Dimitri deliberately stood behind Cheryl so that the girl was safe, let alone her bag in a sash just behind her back.

Cheryl asked some things to the seller, nearby were some children who tried to catch the chicks running around, trying to avoid their small hands.

Finally, after the price was agreed, Cheryl joined the children, trying to catch the chicks to take her home.

"You want to buy?" Ask Dimitri.

Cheryl nodded and smiled. "Yes. I've never had a pet. Dogs and cats are expensive to care for. Yeah, this is it." Cheryl lifts a wire basket filled with pink fat chicks. "Funny right?"

Seeing Cheryl's childlike exuberant behavior, Dimitri smiled. "Buy one more, let's couple."

"O'yeah!" Cheryl patted her eel. "Let him have a friend, brother? It's too bad to be alone."

Then he called out to the chicken seller. "Sir, want the guy dong. Blue, let's have a pair."

"Ready, Non!"

Shortly thereafter, Cheryl and Dimitri had returned down the hallways of the stall with each hand carrying a basket filled with chicks.

Cheryl's smile and laughter can never escape her face. Many times he screeched "Look, Brother Dimi!" His hands were busy pointing at the sight or something that caught his attention. Her eyes flashed whenever she saw the cute knickknacks on display at the kiosks - accessory kiosks.

Dimitri followed Cheryl everywhere, like an older brother who was accompanying his little brother to play..

"Wanna see the show?" Ask Dimitri.

"What show?"

"Hmm. don't know. But there's usually a show at the night market like this."

Oh, it turns out that the show's counter is crowded. Girls dress up menor and guys - guys with jeans bell. Dimitri suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Hey, it's too crowded. We're just looking for a quieter place. Yea?" Dimitri took Cheryl away from the crowd.

Cheryl nodded and followed Dimitri.

Interested in people swarming around watching a young man shoot, Dimitri pointed to a mob of young people in front of a canned shooting stall.

"Eh, Cheryl. Wanna see that?"

"Oooohs... " Coor audience, disappointed because the young man failed to shoot the cans that have been arranged in such a way.

"What do you want?" ask Dimitri.

He holds an air rifle and wants to know what gift Cheryl wants.

"I want that!" Cheryl pointed at a stuffed bear. "The biggest ear."

"Ready, Bossque." Dimitri took a breath, he stared at the gift fixedly. Prepare to aim.

Cheryl held her breath, as Dimitri fired his shot and hit one of the cans in row number three.

"Wow! Dimi is cool!" cheryl said she clapped her hands and soared happily.

Dimitri smiled broadly.

The kiosk guard gave a gift in the form of three indomie pieces tied with green rubber. Cheryl's smile faded away, and her shoulders decayed.

Dimitri rushed into his pocket. "One more time, sir." Then he looked at Cheryl. "I'll get the doll for you."

Dimitri promised in his heart that he would always make Cheryl smile. If with a bear doll, the girl can be happy then she has to get it.

Ouch!

The second and third shots failed. Cheryl only gets a gift in the form of tissue and canned drinks. Coveted dolls - crave it is not yet in hand.

"Again, Sir!" Dimitri took out the money and once again exchanged it for a ticket.

He now became curious, why his air rifle would not obey. The stallkeeper smiled - a smile, as his income grew. People crowded around, seeing a handsome young man playing with gunfire.

"Once again! Ready... GO!"

DORR!

The shotgun exploded and bullets shot out from the muzzle of the rifle, followed by Dimitri's sharp gaze that focused on the grand prize. Big bear doll.

TRANGS!

The top milk can in the number one row finally fell.

"YES!" Cheryl soars in excitement, reflexively hugging Dimitri.

Dimitri welcomes Cheryl's embrace, both soaring - jumping to celebrate the victory. The kiosk guard gave Cheryl a large doll gift. "This is the prize, Non. Thank you." Thank you."

"Thank you, sir." Cheryl said sincerely. Dimitri nodded his head, bidding farewell to the stall guard.

"How's this indomie, brother?"

"Make you."

Cheryl shakes. "This will use the money of Kak Dimi, and the hard work of Brother as well."

Dimitri chuckles. "Work hard what. Yuk, find some food first."

"We're going home on yuk?

"Lho's? You don't want chicken noodles?"

Cheryl shakes. "We ate in a room, brother. Dear money." said Cheryl while chuckling. He felt like he had wasted too much money tonight.

Connect yes...
