Love is Second

17. Gotong Royong's.

Allen frowned, when he found Norra's house a little crowded, even though the cake shop was closed.

Some people were seen passing by while carrying building materials, such as wood and plywood boards. There is also a large rolled wallpaper that is shouldered by two people. Not to mention the other stuff.

Seeing Allen coming, Norra and Rose let in. Not to forget, the man kindly greeted the people who were there.

"Ah, I think renovating the new store just discourse," said Allen as he looked next door, which is their cake shop.

"Mom wants to hurry. So we asked for help from some artisans to help decorate the store." Answer Norra. The girl asked Allen to sit down, while he took a drink.

Seeing the handsome and expensive looking Allen, the neighbors who did not know, whispered to Rose.

"Who is he, Rose? How handsome his face is!"

"Is she Norra's boyfriend? How did they meet?"

"Look at the watch and the expensive clothes! I'm sure he's not a random person. Yeah, right, Rose?"

Hearing the various questions the mothers were asking there, Rose simply smiled without answering. When pressed, the middle-aged woman instead asked for the best do'a for Norra.

"certainly, Rose. Norra is old enough to build a household. What else if the man really has good intentions" said Noren, one of the neighbors whose house is at the end of the district.

Other mothers, including Rose, agree with Noren's words. They also returned to focus on sorting out shop furniture that is still worth using and is not.

After drinking a sip of Norra's orange juice, Allen hurriedly offered the builders a helping hand with their work.

The people there were excited and refused Allen's offer of self. They even told Norra to take her lover away from home. However, Allen insisted on wanting to help.

Norra could do nothing. He also let Allen do as he pleased in his shop.

Allen, who has a body height of 187cm, makes it easy to do some work that feels difficult. Like nailing and gluing things on the highest wall.

Allen looks very deft and able to do the work of the builders, when clearly he looks like a rich man who can not even dwell on things like this.

"The good guy. You were very lucky to meet him, Norra," said one of the neighbors to Norra who was busy arranging snacks on the tray.

"I was indeed lucky to meet him, Aunt," Norra replied with a knotty smile.

Norra laughed a little. The girl also said a word of thanks, before then saying goodbye to distribute her homemade cakes.

"They haven't eaten, have they?" ask Allen.

"Yes, I was just about to buy them a meal, after sharing this snack. So, I'll drop off the store for a second, okay?" Norra.

"No need to get out. I've ordered a lot of food for all of us." Allen commented a faint smile, as he downed the white water.

"no need. Just let me!" sergeant Norra's upset.

Allen did not answer. He secretly steals Norra's kiss before mingling with the artisans.

...**********...

Just as their work was done, Allen's fast food order arrived. Allen not only bought it for those who worked, but the entire district consisting of seventy-three heads of this family.

The citizens were happy to accept Allen's kindness. Some of them even whispered to each other, asking how much food Allen would spend just to eat.

Suddenly many houses. The road is automatically closed by neighbors who choose to eat together there. Fortunately, their district is only a trail and not a main road. So, it won't bother the other walkers.

Instead of being uncomfortable with the crowd, Allen was happy. Honey, he couldn't get Willy to enjoy the night together.

"What makes you smile like that?" ask Norra curiously.

Allen turned his gaze to Norra. "I'm just happy with this warm atmosphere."

Notra smile. "You're the one who made it. Thank you very much for dinner," said the girl softly.

Allen held Norra's hand and stroked her gently. "Together."

The work was completed at nine o'clock in the evening, as Rose wanted their renovation completed within a day. Luckily there was nothing heavy to change. They just need to paint, install wallpaper, block some parts and redecorate it with new furniture.

The only thing left was just putting up the store signage, and it just came the next day.
