at night, El travels around to the highway, he searches for a rice stall for his dinner. After getting his El is very unappetizing to spend his because it doesn't taste as good at afifah stalls.
because he was still hungry, El intended to find a grocery store to buy rice and some other necessities so that he could cook at home.
Pak Haji Shop
the largest and most complete shop in the village. El went in there, some mothers who were shopping noticed El who was walking around looking for what he needed.
when it was finished El took her to the cashier.
"new young man here?" ask Haji sir
"yes sir, my house is at the front end of the ball field" said el friendly
"ohh. So you're a new doctor huh" guess Haji sir.

"duh fah.why is it rejected again"
"less what the fikri pak lurah"
all showered the afifah with questions, as the afifah delivered lunch.
afifah just kept quiet, he didn't want to prolong the problem.
"mommy already, consider it not a soul mate" afifah smiled like nothing happened.
after delivering food to El's doctor's room, the afifah went straight into his stall, crying in the dishwasher.
O Allah, forgive me. I am sure all this will pass, I have no regrets O God, you will surely replace all this pain with happiness-deepness while weeping
while in front of the shop afifah. Doctor El approached the bu zainab.
"what is it, son, want to add or the portion is too little?" said bu zainab when El was just standing in front of her
"no ma'am, the portions are enough. I'm here to buy mother's rice every day, for the menu is up. so for breakfast, lunch and dinner"
"how do you mean, son, mother confused" said plain zainab bu
El pulled out a plastic chair and sat down in front of zainab's mom "this ma'am, how much is one serving worth of my meal?"
"one portion of 10 to 15 rb son, depending on the side dish" replied bu zainab

"eh. this is mostly son, gini only. one portion of the mother count 10 thousand only. so a day 30 thousand yes. one month so only 900 thousand" replied bu zainab while returning El's money
"but said the mother was there 15rb one portion. hmm just like this, this is 1 million 500 bu, consider the same fare because the same morning is the same afternoon food in between" El smiled
"most of the boys" zainab still refused
