LOVED MY STEPFATHER

MORNING RUN

Morning on a clear Sunday morning. Sinta was together with Ratna in the plaza of the poor city. Deliberately Sinta did not take Bana, her son with her that morning. Sinta has let Bana with her great-grandmother at home.

Sinta was already running small by wearing her spot shoes. Sinta was still surrounding the town square by herself. While Ratna was already sitting hanging out in the chicken porridge wagon stand. Sinta running around the square was occasionally doing stretching and warming movements.

Deliberately that morning, Sinta wanted to do a little exercise. Besides that morning the weather is still cool and fresh, Sinta wants to find chicken porridge. Sinta had not eaten chicken porridge for a long time, let alone porridge sold by traders in the city of Malang. Whether the taste of chicken porridge and the kaldunya is also not much different from what he ate and bought when in Jakarta. Sometimes different places will be different presentation, variety and taste. Moreover, food that is the type of meatballs there is a different presentation if it is in the city of Malang. But meatballs that are Wonogiri or solo meatballs have almost the same taste and presentation.

Sinta parked her motor matic, not far from her running. There were several carts selling some kind of food. It was there that Ratna was enjoying the chicken porridge while looking at him with a faint smile. Sinta came to the chicken porridge cart and started ordering the chicken porridge. While waiting for his porridge order to be presented by his merchant, Sinta opened her phone screen. There was a chat message from Mukit.

📱📲 "Where are you?" mukit chat message.

📱📲 "Under the sky! Above the earth," Sinta replied via a chat message in her WA app. Sinta smiled writing that answer.

📱📲 "I'm in front of grandma Wati's house, now this. You out! 🙄"

📱📲 "What? But I'm outside of mas? Why go home? Want what? I thought you had returned to Jakarta, mas. 🤭" Sinta wrote.

📱📲 "Still in Malang! I think I'll stay in Malang for a while. And it might be a long time," Mukit chat message.

📱📲 "Why? It's not acceptable to be a resident in the city there huh?" reply chat message Sinta.

📱📲 "Not! Want to find a future wife in this Malang city," message chat Mukit.

📱📲 "😜😜🙄" Sinta.

📱📲 "Here there is already my subsidiary company that I have to take care of first here. Hopefully it can develop more advanced in this Malang city," replied Mukit chat message.

📱📲 "Alright! I pray for the success of all your business in this Malang city. Oh yeah, Bana's at home with grandma. You go in, mom! I was still in the plaza of Malang city together with my best friend Ratna. Maybe it could be another two hours just back home," wrote Sinta through his chat message.

📱📲 "What?? 🙄🙄 Two hours? Why you?😓😓😢" reply Nukit.

📱📲 "Usaha nyari dad connect Bana! 😜" wrote chat Sinta.

📱📲 "😍😍 well I'll catch up with you in that place!" reply Mukit chat message.

Sinta was unconscious from earlier smiling to herself. Ratna had noticed that she was playing with her phone while smiling.

"Eat her chicken porridge, Sinta! Cold rush!" Ratna. Sinta immediately put her phone in her bag.

"In your house, huh? This afternoon Mr. Chandra will come to my house, Sinta," Ratna said. After Ratna and Sinta graduated and graduated at her campus, Ratna grew closer to the young lecturer. Ratna now works in a foreign company in the city of Malang. With Mr. Candra, Ratna finally established a special relationship with the young lecturer. But for his seriousness to the level of marriage they still have not talked about.

"All right! I will not interfere with your event with your Candra brother" said Sinta.

"But I can take Candra to your house. After that we watched a crowded movie in studio XXI," said Ratna.

"Watch? Look at it later, Ratna! Anyway, if I take Bana, it's impossible to see that kiss-kiss movie?" said Sinta.

"True yeah! See that movie with that girlfriend her movie should be her kiss-kiss. Where's Doraemon's movie, right?" sahut Ratna's. Sinta rubbed her own forehead hearing Ratna's words.

Meanwhile Mukit had already arrived at the town square. Mukit started looking for Sinta's whereabouts. Mukit started walking around the square. Now his eyes were fixed on the row of carts that were on the edge of the square. Many diverse snacks are sold there. In Mukit's mind who knows there is a person who is currently looking for is sitting and enjoying snacks or breakfast in this morning.

Mukit smiled when he saw a woman he was looking for at the moment. He was enjoying his food. Smile and talk to a friend next to her. Mukit was getting closer in that direction. After arriving there, Mukit suddenly sat in front of Sinta and Ratna who had been chatting.

"The chicken is two packs! And if there's his hot tea sweet two too, sir!" mukit said to the chicken porridge merchant. Then sit in front of Sinta and also Ratna. Sinta gawked and finally smiled seeing Mukit's arrival there. While Ratna looked at Sinta and Mukit alternately.

"I thought you were kidding after me here, ma'am!" said Sinta still trying to spend the chicken porridge with large portions.

"I will not wait for you in front of the gate of your house for two hours, Sinta! I better catch up with you here. Oh yes I order one more chicken porridge, you add yah!" mukit. Sinta perfectly rounded.

"You see for yourself! This porridge in my bowl is not over yet. This is my friend, her name is Ratna! Ratna's mas Mukit from Jakarta will temporarily stay in Malang because in order to find a future wife," said Sinta. The two shake hands with each other. Ratna chuckled with Sinta's words.

"Mucite? Your ex is dad? Your stepfather first?" whispered Ratna while approaching Sinta. Mukit still heard Ratna whispering it into Sinta's ear. Sinta's voice widened her eyes perfectly. Then looked at Mukit with a reddened face.

"Eh?? Ratna!" sahut Sinta. Now Mukit blinked his eyes at Sinta and smiled looking at Sinta's reddened face. But suddenly the chicken porridge trader approached while delivering an order of chicken porridge and drinks ordered by Mukit.

"This is his chicken porridge pack!" said the chicken porridge trader while putting chicken porridge and his drink.

"Thank you very much sir!" sahut Mukit then began to eat the chicken porridge while smiling looking at Sinta who suddenly became awkward.

"I ate his chicken porridge first yah!" mukit. Sinta and Ratna looked at each other and smiled at Mukit.

"Please enjoy!" sahut Ratna's.
