PATCHOULI & VANDAM

12

The heat of the sun began to be felt by Nilam. The girl was looking for shelter for a short break after just walking around the city park to peddle her donuts.

Nilam took a bottle of drinking water that He brought from home, He gulped down the drinking water that only half the bottle left.

His stomach began to whisper in there as if asking for food because he had not eaten since this morning.

Patchouli stroked his stomach, hoping that his stomach could understand his condition and not fuss anymore because He could not take donuts or money from sale to buy food considering that his mother always counted the number of donuts that He brought and had to fit when depositing money to his mother.

Nilam was still relaxing under the tree until he felt someone watching him from afar.

Nilam looked around, it felt like no one was there.

Nilam moved from his seat, he moved to another place because honestly Nilam was afraid if the people who noticed him were evil thugs who intended to take the money from the sale.

Nilam tried to hide because he was really curious about who had followed him until Nilam was surprised to know who had followed him.

Marni, his stepmother was seen wearing a hat and glasses, like a detective who was stalking his prey.

Inevitably, Nilam was made to laugh by the behavior of his stepmother, let alone see the appearance of Marni who was hilarious.

"What's the matter, Mom followed me? All this time he never followed me like this." Nilam's inner self was relieved that it wasn't the bad guys who followed him.

Nilam went back around peddling his donuts, he wanted to finish his job so he could quickly go home, no longer care about his mother who was still following him.

"Hey you.." call a middle-aged woman to Nilam.

Nilam immediately approached the woman because he thought she wanted to buy her doughnuts.

"Have you had lunch?" the woman asked Nilam because he had not had lunch even though his stomach was hungry.

"I was buying rice for my son but he wouldn't eat it, rather than throwing away this food I'd rather give it to someone, would you?" haggar Mother was immediately embraced by Nilam.

Nilam gladly received the rice field that is still wrapped intact.

"Thank you very much Ma'am" said Nilam, who was immediately embraced by the mother.

Nilam immediately looked for a place to eat lunch, "Well it turns out there is orange ice as well." muttered Nilam was more happy when opening the plastic package, not only rice paddocks but also there is iced oranges and also bananas.

"I will definitely be full." muttered Nilam again immediately devoured his rice field without mengubris Marni who might still follow him and watch him eat at this time.

As long as the money deposit is right, Nilam will not be possible to get into Marni's tirade.

After lunch, Nilam went back around and today Nilam felt his lucky day for not only getting a free lunch but also for someone who bought his donut cake until he could go home early.

Patchouli went home with the right deposit money. He entered the house, saw Marni sitting on the sofa and looked exhausted.

Nilam smiled amusedly, knowing that Marni was exhausted from following her sales today.

"This is the deposit money, ma'am." Nilam gave all his money to Marni who immediately calculated the amount of money.

"Pas.." muttered Marni was surprised because of the money given by Nilam just when he had seen Nilam lunch. Marni had wanted to nag Nilam if the money was less but in fact the money was right.

"Nilam rest for a while Ma'am" said Nilam then left Marni who returned to calculate the deposit money owned by Nilam.

After being felt right fit, Marni went out of her house again to shop for donuts and groceries for dinner later.

Meanwhile at home, Nilam had just finished bathing, He intended to lie in his bed after this but hearing the sound of the door being knocked made Nilam undo his intention and choose to open the door first.

Nilam opened the door and saw a courier carrying a large box package.

"With Miss Nilamsari?" the courier asked Nilam to astonish him because he never ordered anything.

"Yes my own."

"There's a package for you, please sign it here." ask the courier.

"But I never ordered anything." refused Nilam.

"It's written very clearly, the name and address of the recipient of the package so please immediately sign Miss." ask the courier.

Nilam finally affixed his signature without protesting again. He immediately took the package to his room.

Impatiently, Nilam finally opened a large box package that contained a variety of light snacks.There are chocolate, biscuits, snacks, milk and instant noodles.

Nilam also saw a piece of paper and he immediately read the contents of the paper,

It's stock food for you for a week, don't let the bad woman see this and take it, keep it well. I want to see you a little fat when we meet again.

Nilam smiled reading the writing, He could even guess who the sender of this food package was.

Must be Vandam, Vandam must have guessed Nilam and then smiled again.

"He was very cruel but he was also kind and considerate." murmured Nilam.

Nilam rushed to save the food for fear that his mother came home and knew of this precious treasure.

He keeps food in two, first He keeps it under his second bed He keeps it in the closet does not forget Nilam covered it with clothes to make it invisible.

Now Nilam will no longer feel sad because he has to endure hunger.

Hearing his mother's voice scream, Nilam immediately came out to approach his mother in the kitchen.

"Fast cooking, I'm hungry!" marni's orders in a fierce voice.

Without protest, Nilam immediately cooked and this time he did not add a portion of his cooking. Only two servings are enough for Marni and Riki, because it tastes useless if He added also Marni will not leave food for him.

And tonight when Nilam was making donuts, he approached Riki who had just finished dinner.

"Sister, don't buy me fried rice again." pinta Nilam made Riki frown in wonder, all this time he always bought Nilam fried rice because he knew that his mother never left food for Nilam.

"I'm still full brother."

"What do people eat?" wonder Riki.

"So noon selling donuts there are people who give food and it still feels full until now, so Kak Riki does not need to buy fried rice nilam anymore."

Riki smiled and stroked his sister's head, "Who's buying Nilam food, what's Nilam's girlfriend?" Guess Riki who immediately made Nilam cheeks blush.

Seriate...
