Ms. Dorky
C2; 15. First Cake
Baras ran along the campus corridor, his hands hugging a stack of paper tightly towards a secret looking for a human named Heru, looking like the guy was lying down with a laptop in the stomach, his expression looked solemnly thinking of a series of words to form a thesis sentence.
“Ru, sought after his wife Dano” shouted a child srikandi from outside make Laras manyun.
Heru looked at it briefly and said pede “why Ra? Want a thesis? Sorry not first”
“Pede really you. Nih...”
“What?” Heru read a paper leaflet containing a bazaar promotion. “Still a long time right? Very eager to find dana”
“Ih is not ituuuu...” Gelas Laras. “Please love Ayu. I'm here to ask your permission, so that Ayu can join me and Manda in the bazaar later”
“Why Ayu? Does Manda not have a maid at home?”
“Ck...Si Ayu once told me he likes to make cakes so I want to ajakin. Can ya Ru?”
Heru immediately shook his head in refusal. “No can, Ayu busy”
“Heru You are so. Can ya? Manda is okay. Do you not pity Ayu should be stuck as you continue at home? Kan Ayu needs a chatmate who is the same age...Can ya?” rayu Laras tried to smile as sweetly as possible.
“Free you smile that way, will not make me melt.”
The snorting barrel instantly passed away.
But Laras is not the type to give up easily, evidently the afternoon after from the campus he was already at the house Heru chatting with Raya and Ayu in the dining room, make Heru who just returned home campus to wonder.
“Ngapain lu?”
“You asked for your papa number in Mbok Raya. I want to ask your papa's permission so I can ngijinin Ayu help us make cakes for bazaar events later”
“Nevent need to be given mbok, ngerepotin” forbid Heru then return to the room. The spontaneous barrel codes Ayu to follow Heru.
“T-but brother.”
“Udah Yu, trust me, he will surely if you ask directly. Buruan” said Laras looks very confident. For a moment Ayu felt doubtful, but he wanted to join Laras and Manda. Ayu then stood up and half ran towards Heru's room upstairs, he took a breath and knocked on the door slowly.
“Why?” heru asked open the door, she leaned back and looked at Ayu sharply. Ayu gulped, this position made her remember the past when Heru scolded her all out.
“It was mas...I can not-”.
“Nggak” cut Heru directly.
“Elekalii aja. I promise my work will be done and not disturbed at all, Mas Heru's room will always be clean. Can ya mas?”Ayu's expression turned hearty, he strengthened his heart to look back at Heru. The guy looked at Ayu with a judgmental view, something stuck in Heru's mind and he had to know the answer from Ayu.
“Gue wants something” said Heru finally open voice.
“Iya mas how?”
“Why did you avoid me?”
“When?” tanya Ayu tried to control the look on her face to look confused.
“This morning, yesterday, yesterday again, three days ago, a week ago. Lu why?”
“I did not avoid Mas Heru” geleng Ayu lied. Heru bowing his head towards Ayu made the girl spontaneously retreat backwards. His eyes looked at Ayu's face fixedly while Ayu stood up with an uncomfortable feeling. Unexpectedly Heru's right fingers rose to touch Ayu's soft lips, Ayu's eyes rounded directly to Heru's hand. Ayu's heart beat fast, she felt very nervous.
“It wasn't a dream, was it?” muttered Heru asked. Ayu gulped, she could not guess what Heru meant but her mind suddenly gave a clear picture of their kiss that night.
“Heruuu, can ya? If I don't call papa you nih” shouted Laras from below to make Heru keep his face away from Ayu.
“Iya up to” reply Heru shouted, heard Laras cheering happily from below. Heru smiled then patted the top of Ayu's head slowly. “Turnback, don't fight with Manda, her son is a bit rese.”
Heru closed the room door making Ayu dumbfounded for a moment. What was that? Heru is possessed, right?
...----------------...
Ayu never expected that making cakes was the thing she liked the most. Seeing the dough ripen in the oven, cutting the cake into pieces, decorating it with beautiful shapes, all that Ayu did all day. Her lips could not stop smiling even though the cake made her a trial exercise.
“Yu delicious, just too sweet, I think we should reduce the sugar deh” said Laras when tasting a cake made by Ayu. Ayu nodded straight at the writing on her little note.
“Yu look, beautiful right? Here are three photos, all promotions.” Manda showed me his portrait and then took a selfie of the three of them.
“Instagram you what Yu?”
“That's what sister?” ask Ayu plain.
“Social media, a place to show off, I happen to like to show off so often play it” explained Manda haphazardly.
“I don't have kak”
“Yaudah no papa, later I send to you, here lu” number
“Eh but my phone can not send soan”
“Why?” marsel asked, his face slightly bent because it was disturbed by Manda's interruptions but still down when told.
“Cobain nih and love your assessment honestly make our evaluation material” peka Manda. Marsel took a few pieces of cake, he chewed slowly thinking, then took a few more pieces, and took it on until it stopped Manda.
“Gue tells you to rate, not ngabisin”
“Yes so I can judge correctly dong, how sih” grunts Marsel swallow the last piece in his hand. “Agot sweet, just I like, the decoration is also good. Who made this?”
“Gue” says Manda.
Marsel sneered. “Kalo cuman on duty nyiapin tools, do not feel special”
“Iye iye, Ayu same Barrels that make.” Marsel raised his two thumbs, he picked up another piece and returned to the room.
“Begging others for value. Marsel mah if hungry carcasses will also be chewed with him” said Manda, his two friends laughed crazily.
“This piece is still there can I bring no brother? Create Mbak Ningsih at home”
“Bby Yu, divide the two by me. Want me to bring it to Sri so that it can be assessed as she”
“Before I find the box first” said Manda then busy looking for the box on the cake rack. The door opened, they turned and looked Jessi, Mama Manda appeared from the side yard, she had just finished running in the afternoon and was a bit surprised to see her kitchen suddenly turned into a semi broken ship.
“Halo, this is Ayu huh? His new friend Manda?” greeting Jessi kindly, Ayu nodded politely.
“Tante want to try it? Made me the same Ayu nih, Marsel had tried he said delicious, just assessment Marsel less convincing” bargain Baras directly.
“Little yes, aunt again diet.” Jessi picked up a small piece, her head nodding trying to judge the combination of flavors that touched her tongue.
“Agot sweetness anyway, but the sweetness does not make eneg. You are pastry school, it is suitable nih”
“Ah aunt can aj” kekeh Laras happy.
“You continue the work, do not forget to be taken in ya” said Jessi then went inside.
“Pastry school is what Kak Laras?”
“Hmm..By the outlines is a special school for you if you like to make cakes. You will be taught as much detail as possible about the culinary world, especially Cake” explained Laras, Ayu nodded her head. Laras' phone rang, there was an incoming call from Heru.
“Halo?”
[Where is my home staff? I want to take you home, it's seven o'clock tonight] said Heru without further ado. Laras sneered softly.
“Kalo want you to pick up, call the guy, don't call me”
[Gue doesn't have Ayu's number]
“That's weird of you! I just have”
[Today I asked for. Ten more minutes I nyampe] The phone connection was cut off.
“Your father is very strange Yu” said Laras, Ayu looked up confused.
“My father already no kak” reply Ayu plain. Laras bit his lips while Manda hurriedly held back an amused laugh.
“Sorry Yu, I don't know....I mean it's Heru, your foster father”
“Ooohhh... Why Kak?”
“You pick you up, he said late at night, again otw here. Heru it can be protective also yes like the fathers of” tell Laras smiled meaningfully.
“Any people. Understand Yu, childhood often nguyah snail so his behavior likes rada-rada” added Manda julid.
...----------------...
Ayu waved at Manda and Laras before entering the car.
“Be careful ya Yu, see you saturday” said Manda waved back.
“Pak driver nyetirnya do racing-race ya” goda Laras. Heru grinned at the car glass and drove away.
“It looks like Heru likes Ayu” said Manda and Laras in unison, both of them looked up and laughed amusedly.
“Yes Ra, you feel too?”
“Yes, I told Dano once, but he said it was impossible, maybe because Heru is still the same Danella. I'm watching from the way Heru natap Ayu, rather another”
“Gue also Ra, I'm not sure. But when we ate after the first game, Heru really attention to Ayu. Even seinget I Heru never sepatient it is the same Riska” explained Manda bernebu.
“We diem-diem perhatiin aja ya Nda. I'm sure sooner or later there will be interesting events from them” said Laras. The two laughed amusedly and then went inside the house.
