My Mr's. Virgin

Chapter CIII

Mariana was ready to lock the door to the market because Andreas had advised that his friends would come to watch the ball in their house. At that time, Siti came to the girl. The kind-hearted neighbor invited Mariana to participate in the competition to commemorate Indonesia's Independence Day next month. This afternoon at 15:00 WITA the PKK mothers and young people will gather at the house of the Chairman Mother of RT.

Mariana did not promise to participate because today Andreas' friends came to the house. He needs to shop at the market, pack the house, and so on. There were many things he needed to do today, so could not promise Siti.

Siti replied, "It's okay, Ana. Finish your business first. If you get a chance, you can come to Rini's mother's house."

"Thank you, Brother."

Siti smiled. He then said goodbye to go home. After Kak Siti's departure, Mariana picked up her bike behind the kitchen, then left her home after making sure all the doors were locked.

Panorama along the road— rice fields that began to turn yellow, the ends of the pointy rice leaves sway fooled by the dry season wind. The farmers walk to the garden, some are paddle-cycling, some are biking, some are chatting on the side of the road with other farmers. Not only rice is a meal of the eye, other green plants in the form of vegetables and herbaceous plants are also very soothing to the eye. The chirping of birds and the wind-blown tribulations of foliage deliver their own melodic rhythms.

Sometimes Mariana greeted the residents she met on the street even though there were some unknown among them. Before heading to the destination, the girl stops for a while at the Tanta Mei store. However, only a quiet atmosphere welcomed his arrival. It turns out that today the sifu is not on business.

Mariana turned her bike back to Pasar Alok. For almost an hour he shopped all the necessities at home, but his bike could not afford to load all his groceries.

The girl was forced to ask the transport driver who headed to Nele Urang Village to bring her groceries. He only paid the transportation fee, asking the driver and the transport conductor to drop his goods at the house of Grandma Esi. Call it the name "Aloysius Crowe", the owner of the company Crowe Brother's one city Maumere must know.

Mariana also handed over a note listing the items purchased to make it easier for them when lowering the items later. Another piece of note he slipped in a plastic bag. The girl also sent a WhatsApp message to Tanta Vero. It was not that he did not trust the driver and conductor, but simply kept watch. Not wrong, is it?

After making sure everything was done, Mariana rushed to the house of Tanta Mei which is located not far from Alok Market. Arriving there, he saw Tanta Mei sweeping the courtyard of the house. However, upon seeing Mariana's arrival, the woman rushed into the house.

Mariana's forehead was wrinkled to see the change in Tanta Mei's attitude. It is not usually that they ignore it. After locking the bike, she rushed in Tanta Mei's footsteps, but did not see the woman in the living room.

"Sifu!" laung Mariana from the living room, but no answer was heard. The girl continued to move into the kitchen. Tanta Mei is drinking coffee.

"Salom, Sifu," said Mariana as she stepped closer to the middle-aged woman.

"Salom." The voice of the sifu sounded sniffling.

Mariana's forehead is back in a frown. "Ehem!"

He cleared his throat trying to attract the attention of the sifu, but the middle-aged woman still ignored him.

"Sifu! Sifu! Sifu!" Putting his hands behind his body, he tried to be funny, but still ignored. Mariana had no idea the sifu was just pretending to sulk.

As she continues to be ignored, Mariana stabs Tanta Mei in the waist. The old woman shouted in foresight. His coffee pot almost spilled. However, Mariana increasingly intensely tickled her waist. Finally Tanta Mei laughed, while trying to avoid Mariana's stab.

"Already! It's already! Tanta can't take it anymore, Ana. Ha-ha-ha."

Mariana also laughed like that. He finally stopped doing his act of stabbing the waist of the sifu. "Who told Sifu to ignore Ana."

"That's," Tanta Mei handed Mariana a cup of coffee, "because it's been a few days since you haven't come to help tanta."

Now they both sit on the para-para located in the corner of the kitchen. The girl told me about her busy life the last few days, about Andreas and Mikel, about the family in the village, about her increasingly crowded customers, and so on. Tanta Mei silently watched. Sometimes he asks this and that. He also told a lot of stories.

Mariana felt every time she told him about Andreas, the sifu was very excited to hear his story. The woman also looks more cheerful. A sweet smile also always bloomed on her lips to make Mariana want to tease her.

After taking a sip of coffee, Mariana said, "Ana saw Sifu from earlier engrossed in a smile. Pleasant sort. There's a widower who made Sifu fall for him?"

The coffee inside Tanta Mei's mouth immediately gushed out. He immediately hit Mariana's arm without having time to wipe her mouth first because of growling until the girl grimaced and the drink almost spilled. However, the girl also only laughed at the look of the sifu's face that changed.

"Ha-ha-ha! Look that! Tanta's face is red like someone else's kasmaran."

Tanta Mei wiped her mouth after being content to release a growl. He then asked as he patted her on the face, "Is that right?"

Mariana nodded while laughing.

"It's all because of you."

Mariana frowned pretending not to understand what the sifu said.

Tanta Mei directly nudged his shoulder. "Don't pretend you don't understand!"

Mariana laughs. Seeing Tanta Mei's face flushed red, she increasingly vehemently teased him. He shrugged his shoulders back. "Who is that widower, Sifu? Ana's curious about this."

"What young?" Tanta Mei is ticking.

"The young man who made Sifu came back young, you know."

The Sifu immediately pinched the girl's waist. Mariana screamed in pain with laughter.

"But, Sifu, Ana's father-in-law is also a widower. How about Sifu go on a date with Ana's father-in-law?"

Mariana immediately stood up when she felt Tanta Mei's hand wanted to pinch her waist back. The girl laughed when she saw the sifu standing up and chasing after her. The two women instantly played a chase in the cramped kitchen room.

While running away from Tanta Mei, Mariana again said, "Anas father-in-law is a loyal person, Sifu. Same as Sifu. So, it's appropriate that Sifu and Dad are dating. Ha-ha-ha!"

The white face of Tanta Mei is getting reddened making Mariana's laughter more blaring. The woman called sifu stood up while clucking her waist because she was tired of chasing after Mariana. "You're supposed to call tanta 'mother' not 'sifu'."

"Ana's gonna call Sifu 'mother' if Sifu's dating dad. Ha-ha-ha!"

"Basic son-in-law less acidic!" Tanta Mei finally laughed as well.
