"Joking times, Mar. Very nice paper." said Alan.
Everyone smiles except Mario. He's still pouting at Alan. But the lunch was still good.
"We'll say yes, Mar. Thanks for the food." said Gilang in front of the gate of Mario's house.
"Yes together, you guys be careful on the road. Bring girls people." said Mario berewanti-wanti like father to son.
"Ready." said Alan while menstater his motorbike.
"Mario, salamin to mama lo. Thanks." said Saras who was sitting in the bonnet of Gilang motorbike.
"Yes, I told my mom."
"OK Mar. Bye." said the four of them compact and started leaving Mario's house.
Mario enters his home. He saw Olin who was helping Mutia clean up. Mario smiled faintly at the familiarity of the two airs he had just met.
Olin is seen talking to Mutia while cleaning dirty dishes to wash. The two of them had just met, yet Olin seemed to have known Mutia for a long time. Olin is very different in his attitude when with a man he will behave indifferently. But if he meets women he is very friendly like a girl in general.
"Ma pesenan mario earlier, have you?" mario asked as he approached his mother.
"Your mother's father is ready, in a white plastic bag on the counter next to the fridge." replied Mutia. Mario then took the package.
"Lin, I'm anter lo go home now huh. Later fear of your brother worried." invite Mario who agreed by Olin.
"Tante, Olin said yes first," said Olin while kissing Mutia's hand.
"Yes. Next time you come here, auntie still wants to talk to you."
"Emm must be aunty" jawan Olin with a smile.
"Mario, nganter Olin first ma. Assalamualaikum." said Mario then left.
mario immediately headed to the garage and opened the passenger door for Olin.
"Kok get in the car?" ask Olin in surprise.
"Let's be safe. The road if the afternoon rame." explained Mario while letting Olin in.
Along the way, the two teenagers were silent. No one opens their voice first. The road this afternoon is not too crowded so it does not make Mario's head dizzy if you struggle with the traffic jam of the city streets.
"So, what's the same mom. It's exciting." asked Mario suddenly.
"emm just talking about hobbies, because our hobbies are the same."
"Garden, collect various kinds of orchids and chrysanthemums" said Mario while glancing at Olin.
Olin smiled faintly, "Yes. Let me talk and mama connect. And we look familiar." Mario just nodded in understanding.
Mario's car stopped. Not because he had reached Olin's house, but he stopped him under a bridge.
"Why did we stop?" olin asked Mario who had taken the plastic package.
"Gue has business. Clash doang lo wait here aja." he said then down left Olin alone in the car.
Olin's eyes continued to center on Mario walking down the bridge. Until he met a child in tattered clothes, his body was full of dust, and one hand was holding a small guitar.
The boy was talking to Mario. Even Mario laughed for a long time. Although Olin could not hear but he was sure Mario laughed off hearing the boy tell a story.
After stopping with his laughter, Mario gave the package to the child. The boy looked happy and excited. Then she hugged mario tightly.
Mario did not refuse. He returned the child's embrace. Without feeling disgusted or uncomfortable. When it was over, the boy left. Mario re-entered the car.
"Wait a long time, sorry." said Mario then stopped his car.
"Who was that?" ask Olin curiously.
"Oh, that's my theme." replied Mario casually.
Olin only scrunched his forehead not understanding. Sure enough? handsome, smart and rich Mario friends with a child with shabby and tattered makeup like that?
It's really impossible. But Olin saw it for himself, how Mario behaved in the boy. So very loving.
Olin just kept quiet, not questioning Mario further. Although now he began to be curious about a Mario, a new student who was in DO from school because of his arrogant attitude. And now even Olin saw the arrogant guy with the heart of an angel.
