"Mom, here's the change." The taxi driver who delivered Bu Ayu handed over Rp. 20 thousand bills to Leon's mother. However, beyond the prediction the middle-aged woman refused to accept her change.
"Take it for your Father. Counting as a tip because you have anterin me to the destination safely," said Bu Ayu.
The words of Ayu made the man sitting behind the wheel round his eyes. Unexpectedly early this morning can windfall from the first passenger. So unreliable, the man was speechless. Although only Rp. 20 thousand, but he was very grateful to be able to get extra money to give to his wife at home.
"Thank you for delivering me safely." Bu Ayu smiled and opened the car door. He got off the four-wheeled vehicle and walked into the courtyard of the restaurant.
Under the heat of the sun still faithfully shining on the earth, Ayu maam swung her feet towards the glass door in front of her. Keep walking, climb the stairs to the top. There he was greeted by a security guard.
"Good morning. I'm sorry, ma'am, this restaurant isn't open yet. You can go back or wait in the chair that has been provided" said the man in a security uniform. He thought that Ayu's mother had come there to buy food provided by the restaurant.
"August, Sir. I did not come here to order food, but rather wanted to meet one of the waiters of this restaurant. If it is not named ... Aluna Humairah."
Mr. Lukman, the security guard who was standing still, recalled one by one the name of the restaurant employee where he worked at this time. However, his efforts were in vain because there was no such name here.
"Maybe you got the wrong address. You see, there is no employee here named Aluna Humairah" said Mr. Lukman.
'Am I right in the wrong address? Ah, it's impossible. There must be some confusion.'
"In a moment, sir." Bu Ayu remembered the sheet of paper containing all the information about the girl he wanted to meet at this time.
'This officer did not know the girl's name. Lah wong he used a nickname during his work here, ' Bu Ayu said inwardly. Then put the paper back into his handbag.
"If an officer named Lulu, does he work here? I have a need with that girl."
"Oh, if Mbak Lulu, there is. It just so happened that he just went inside. Please come in, I'll call him for a minute." Mr. Lukman who nearly five years working at the restaurant pushed the glass door in front of him, holding back for a while and let Ms. Ayu into a two-story air-conditioned room that still looked empty of visitors.
"Neng Zahra, can you please call Neng Lulu? In front there are guests, he said there is a need for Neng Lulu."
Mr. Luman shifted his body to the side as Zahra wanted to see who the person who wanted to meet with his co-worker was. From a distance of about five meters, Zahra could see the middle-aged woman sitting alone on a bench near the cash register.
"Well, I'll call Lulu." Finally Zahra was willing to help Mr. Lukma, saying that there was someone who wanted to meet with Lulu.
Zahra's long footsteps then walked very quickly, entering the kitchen. Incidentally, at that time Lulu was helping assistant chef, tidying up the food ingredients that would be processed later.
"Lu, there are people who nyariin lo, tuh. He's waiting for you in front."
Lulu looked up at Zahra with a question mark. "Who, Ra? I don't feel like I'm making anyone's appointment today."
"Yes, meneketehe. I don't know who he is. Mr. Lukman just said ask you to come out now because people want to see you."
Assistant chef, chef, and two helper stopped their activities for a moment. They almost simultaneously turned their heads towards Lulu, worried that the girl was in trouble until someone came to see her at the restaurant.
"Is everything all right?" asked the restaurant chef staring with a hard to interpret gaze.
Lulu smiled awkwardly. Everyone must have thought that he was in debt until someone came to see him at the restaurant.
"You guys just calm down, I can handle it myself. Yes, I am ahead first if so, let the business be finished quickly. Thank you, Ra, for taking Mr. Lukman's message to me."
"Hmm, equally. Yeah, I stayed first. Bye, everybody!"
Aluna or commonly called Lulu finds the woman in question Zahra and Lukman waiting at the table, right near the cashier's table. It seemed like the middle-aged woman was too busy with her dress to the point of not realizing Lulu's presence nearby.
"Excuse me, Mom."
A soft voice rang out, making Ayu maam raise her head while continuing to hold the phone in both hands. He gasped for a while as the two neutrals met with Lulu. Apparently Lulu's face is prettier than the one photographed.
'It turns out to be more beautiful than in the photos. It's worth Leon being so crazy about him.' Bu Ayu.
Bu Ayu glanced at the nameplate mounted on the chest. From there he knew that the girl in front of him was Lulu. The girl he wanted to meet.
"Please sit down and have a nice chat."
The contents of his head were filled with many questions, but Lulu still obeyed what Ayu ma'am said to him.
"Sorry in advance if my arrival here interferes with your work. I was forced to meet you because there were some things I wanted to get straight. It's about Leon, my son."
Lulu's eyes were rounded when Leon's name was mentioned. "Thus ... Mom is Mas Leon's mom?"
Nodding fast. "really. My name is Ayu Maharani. You can call me Bu Ayu or Bu Rani, both names are the same."
"Look at Lulu. I.... Would you like to ask what is your relationship with Leon, my son? What ... are you guys dating?" bu Ayu asked, making Lulu surprised for the second time.
Not finished his surprise due to the sudden arrival of Ayu's mother, now Lulu is surprised by a silly question addressed to him.
"Me and Mas Leon are dating? Why can you think that? Me and Leon are just ordinary friends. It just so happens that his best friend Mas Leon is the husband of my best friend, Queensha." Lulu tries to explain her relationship with Leon in detail. Don't let Ayu think things out.
"Yes, you and Leon are dating. What was my guess wrong?" Bu Ayu asked back. Not satisfied with Lulu's answer. Although the girl has said that she and Leon are just ordinary friends.
Head shook his head, not believing that his proximity to Leon caused problems for him.
"Of course it's wrong because me and Mas Leon aren't dating. We know each other, but we only know their names and faces. The rest is not," said Lulu.
Bu Ayu thrust a mobile phone in front of Lulu. A photo is displayed on the screen of the device.
"If you're just friends, then what is this? Can Nak Lulu explain to me, who is the girl who is alone with my youngest son?"
Lulu's trembling hand held the mobile phone in front of her. He was very surprised by the sightings in front of his eyes. A pair of round eyes were patterned, eyes of disbelief staring at the 6.5-inch object.
"The girl who was with Mas Leon was indeed me. At that time I went with Mas Leon because it was told by Doctor Ghani and Queensha. If it wasn't for any reason I'd go alone with your son," said Lulu stammered. He is like a criminal caught in the middle of a criminal act.
Really shit.
"Well, why don't you. What's wrong with my son? Is she any less attractive until you're not willing to go alone with her?" Skak Bu Ayu, make Lulu not wince in the least. The tongue feels numb and the mouth is locked tightly. Lulu is out of words, unable to answer Ayu's questions.
'Die me! Why is it this way, anyway!' lulu screams in the heart.
