LOVE WITHOUT SPACE
NEXT GUEST
Until Ambar gets home delivered by his old car driver Sonny, Ambar did not check at all his villas in Uluwatu or elsewhere he really went to Bali just to go to the studio to meet with Mukti only.
And until he came home, Ambar did not tell Ayya about Mukti's problems. So Ayya also did not dare to invite the heart of her future father-in-law. He just kept quiet. He believes Ambar has his own policy of not telling it to him, not Ambar in disbelief but there is something he must protect, according to Ayya.
Ayya was busy preparing for the exhibition. Occasionally he reminded Mukti not to ever charge his energy, especially now that the master material for the exhibition was finished. It was really finished and Mukti was very satisfied with his work.
Furthermore, until waiting for the time of the exhibition Mukti will make small works unlike the one yesterday is very large and if small works he can make on the studio terrace alone do not need to be in open space.
Every now and then Mukti pauses his work and sees the drowning Ayya struggling with data on the laptop also receiving calls from all galleries.
“Serious?” ayya asked enthusiastically as she received the phone call this afternoon.
“ ….”
“Yes I've been waiting for tomorrow. I'll have lunch for you. Must be a good meal for you.”
“ ….”
“I'd rather you guys come by tonight so don't get distracted with my work,” Ayya said as she received a call this afternoon.
“ ….”
“Oh well, if it's afternoon. So you can have dinner with me,” said Ayya.
“Let's relax tomorrow I'm not going anywhere. Because they are doing something at home. If there will be a sudden event I will refuse because you have spoken to me first,” said Ayya firmly. He did not want if Mukti suddenly changed the schedule once he heard a friend wanted to come, immediately said he wanted to leave.
Mukti must have heard someone call her lover and she also heard Ayya's words, though she did not know what the person behind the phone was talking about.
Ayya immediately made a list of what to spend by Bu Pinem mumpung he remembered. Ayya wants to make grilled beef ribs with veggie steak, as well as goat rib soup.
Ayya wrote buy potatoes with a large size because he will make fries instead of french fries he will make fries with a large size of one potato will only be cut 8 lengthwise.
Of course all Ayya seasonings are complete including onions and all sorts of soy sauce and vegetables complementing her steak.
“This bu make tomorrow yes, do not forget. I put it on the refrigerator door,” said Ayya.
“Would you like to cook big Mbak?” tanya Bu Pinem looked at the list of groceries and money that Ayya gave.
“Tomorrow 4 of my friends will come, Mom. So I want to make beef-grilled rib steak, also goat rib soup,” explained Ayya.
“4 Guests Ma'am?” bu Pinem made sure.
“Iya Ma'am, 4 people. That's why I remember, I write first if there is anything I want to add of course I will tell.”
“Don't forget the mayonaise and also the custard for the salad yes Mom because I want to make a fruit salad too,” Ayya explained.
“Ya is ready,” says Bu Pinem.
“What's more to buy Mbak cheese? The cheese is almost over. If only a little is enough but if to make a lot of cheese is not enough,” bu Pinem reminded of the stock of cheese that is almost gone.
“Ah yes forgot, the cheese cream runs out also Bu.” said Ayya. He added on the shopping list that cream cheese was also four cheese sticks.
