LOVE OF ORDINARY MEN

Sweet or Salty

The girl then walked back into the house and went upstairs. He passed by Nathan, who was standing by the back door, and was immediately approached by Mamah Ros.

“Ehm, Nathan, why are you standing here? I'm sorry, looks like Oliv's going out. So, he can't get you. Sorry really, Aunt does not know,” said Mamah Ros.

“No papa, Aunt. Can play here again already very seneng,” said Nathan.

Mamah Ros then invited Nathan to sit back in the living room. The young man felt a strong rejection from Olivia. He realized that his past actions must have made Olivia hate him. However, when she heard Olivia was getting married, her heart felt unwilling and made her rush home.

But alas, she was late because by the time she got here, Olivia had officially become someone's wife. When she meets Mamah Ros and hears that Olivia still remembers Nathan, she gets a breath of fresh air, and gets excited to chase Olivia again even though she is married.

Moments later, Olivia came back down with a bag and binder map in her hand.

He walked towards the front door, where Nathan and his mother were still there.

“Oliv, you don't want to sit here with Nathan?” ask Mamah Ros again.

“Udah Oliv said, Oliv still has business, Mah,” Olivia said.

“Let me go between yah,” bargain Nathan.

Olivia turned her head and looked sharply at the young man. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

“Ndon't need. I can go alone,” Olivia said.

The girl then walked back to the door. Nathan tries to follow Olivia, and when the door opens, Leon appears to be standing at the door.

“Hai... Liv... Elu?” said Leon stamped.

He is shocked to see Nathan standing right behind Olivia.

“Liv, Why is that guy here?” ask Leon.

“Not important! Yuk ah street, it's noon,” says Olivia.

The girl stepped out and ignored Nathan who kept calling her, and was curious to see his best friend's ex-girlfriend.

...☕☕☕☕☕...

Along the way, Olivia who was riding in Leon's car, kept silent a thousand languages. He did not babble at all, as he used to do when with his best friend.

Leon also felt, Olivia's attitude has something to do with the appearance of Nathan, who was suddenly at Olivia's house.

“Lu all right, Liv?” ask Leon.

The young man is worried about Olivia's current psychiatric condition, given past events involving Nathan, which have certainly re-spinned Olivia's mind.

“Where am I okay to meet the guy,” replied Olivia flat.

Such an expressionless face, was enough to make a Leon understand, how Olivia was currently feeling. The girl who was always at will and always revealed what was on her mind, suddenly silent and grim-faced.

“You want me to anter to your husband?” ask Leon.

“Neventless. I don't want Al to know about this. Could be, he asked me to make a story of my past,” refused Olivia.

“Continue, where are we going?” ask Leon

“Yes doing fieldwork, beg*. Not that we are out because there is a field duty,” said Olivia.

“Eh, bickr*t! I'm worried about you. In fact said beg* again,” timpal Leon upset.

“Worried is worried. But do not be beg* also dong. Severe lu, Yon,” sahut Olivia.

“Ya exhausted you diem-diem bae from earlier. I guess you are not ready to do fieldwork now, so I nawarin you make where you used to let your heart calm down,” explained Leon.

Just then, they passed a minimarket, and Olivia asked to stop there.

“Eat ice cream first. Once in the mood I can go back,” has Olivia.

Both are headed to the minimarket. Olivia and Leon go out to buy ice cream. They sat down first in the chair in the minimarket, and spent their respective ice cream, then after that the two returned to continue the journey.

...☕☕☕☕☕...

In the afternoon, Olivia, who had just finished her fieldwork, asks Leon to drive her to her mother-in-law's house.

He was still lazy to go home by himself, and faced all the scolding of Mamah Ros because of his attitude this afternoon to Nathan.

Olivia asked Papah Abi for permission and said it was likely tonight she would stay at her mother-in-law's house.

Alzam, who heard from his sister that Olivia was going to stay at the house of Aminah, was surprised because it was very sudden.

Why did she suddenly want to stay at mom's house? inner Alzam.

He then called his father-in-law, and got information that Olivia had told him about it.

After the prayer, Alzam told his men to go home early, and handed the shop to them.

On the way home, Alzam saw a martabak seller, who was selling on the side of the highway, with a pick-up car that was transformed into his cart.

The young man stopped and intended to buy a delicious snack. However, he did not know whether the wife liked it or not. He also did not know, which one would Olivia choose between sweet and salty martabak.

Finally, he called Olivia who was currently at her mother's house.

“Assalamu’alaikum,” greetings Alzam.

“Waalaikumsalam. Why, Mas? Have you come home yet? I'm at my mom's house again. Ntar forgot again,” said Olivia at length.

“Bawles! I already know. You like sweet what salty?” ask Alzam directly.

“I love you,” replied Olivia chuckled.

Alzam patted his forehead, hearing the wife's strange reply the magic bin.

“I mean, you like sweet martabak what is salty?” ask Alzam again.

“It is dong nanyanya. Never eaten martabak. Try to bring them both, let me try them all,” Olivia said.

“Ya. You like chocolate, right? No allergy to duck eggs too, right?” ask Alzam.

“Ngak, Mom. I am safe, there is no food. You are calm,” replied Olivia.

“Yes, I bought it first. Assalamu’alaikum,” says Alzam.

“Waalaikumsalam,” says Olivia.

Call ended. Alzam also ordered two sweet martabak with chocolate banana flavor with sesame sprinkles, and one special salted martabak with four eggs.

After waiting for a while, the order was ready and Alzam returned to ride his matic motorcycle to the mother's house.

Arriving there, Alzam who had just entered the yard, and had not even turned off his motorbike, was greeted first by Olivia who came out of the house, when she heard the sound of her husband's motorcycle engine.
