During his time in Pandeglang, Adrian and his team not only visited Tanjung Lesung alone. They go around visiting other attractions in this area. Since two days ago, Adrian was on the island of Umang. The island is their last destination.
Umang Island is located in the village of Sumberjaya, Sumur sub-district, Pandeglang regency. Umang Island is not as big as Tanjung Lesung. The area is only around 9,160 km, but once this island presents a panorama that is no less beautiful. Plus the condition of Umang island is still beautiful, because it is still rare to touch it.
This island is called umang, because from a distance will be seen the cottage building that became an icon of this island shaped like a umang shell. The word umang is taken from the word umang-umang, which is a shelled sea animal, which the Javanese called Kecomang. Umang Island is more visible as a private island surrounded by blue sea, a stretch of white sandy beach overgrown with palm trees.
During their stay on this island, they were given the facility of staying at a resort directly facing the sea. In addition to making observations, the other Adrian also completed their work here. And of course in addition, they can enjoy water games provided on this island, such as jetski, banana boat, donut boat to cano. In addition, they can also do snorkeling activities to see the beauty of the underwater. To do this they have to cross to the island of Oar by boat for about 10 minutes.
After lunch, Adrian immediately cleaned up his luggage. The plan is today that he will return to Bandung. Their original plan was to return to Bandung on Monday, but hearing of the incident that befell Dewi, Adrian chose to go home early. After tidying up his luggage, he approached his comrades who were still relaxing.
“Ad.. so back to Bandung now?” ask Ikmal.
“Iya. The rest of the work please finishin.”
“So sudden anyway? On Tuesday, we will withdraw to Batam for a presentation. So from here we go directly to the airport.”
“I leave for Batam from Bandung aja. Please order tickets, so that the arrival time is not too long.”
“Ok deh, how big boss aja.”
Adrian just smiled thinly. While carrying his belongings, he bid farewell to all of his team members. Ikmal drove the man to the dock. To return, Adrian must ride a speedboat that takes him to the mainland. There he will be escorted by a driver who will take him to Bandung.
After traveling less than ten minutes, Adrian also arrived at the well beach. The driver was waiting for him. The man helps Adrian put his luggage in the car. Before returning to Bandung, Adrian asked to be escorted to buy souvenirs. There was no way he would visit the Goddess empty-handed.
After driving around for a while to buy some souvenirs, the car that was boarded by Adrian was immediately headed towards Jakarta. The route takes the toll to the toll road. Starting from the Pandeglang toll road, continued the Merak toll road to the inner highway of Jakarta, from there the driver took the direction of the Cawang toll road, entered the Cikampek toll road and the last route was to the Cipularang toll road. Quite a long journey to be taken plus congestion that may occur in some toll roads, it is estimated Adrian will arrive in Bandung at night.

“Semalem home at what time?” ask Dewi to Adit who is preparing to leave.
“Jam nine.”
“Wah extension is old also yes.”
“Hmm. calculated double shift, it's good enough to add your nightly savings,” kekeh Aditya.
“Don't be too tired. Do not eat late, take vitamins also to keep the body fit.”
“Iya, darling. Wife candidates bring nih.”
The goddess smiled in response to Aditya's words. If with the young man, the Goddess could be a super duper adult figure of attention. But if with Adrian, he was like a kitten who always wanted to be petted. The girl was confused by this attitude. Who really wants to be his companion? Adrian is mature and considerate, or Aditya who can always make him feel important and useful.
Dewi's daydreams are crumbling when she hears Aditya's cell phone twang. The young man reached into his pants pocket then opened the incoming message. His smile was printed when he read the message. After replying to the message, put the flat object back in his pants pocket.
“That's so happy, who the hell?” ask Dewi kepo.
“Kepo... jealousy yes?”
“Ngga ish.
“Hahaha... Really jealous also nothing.”
“Seeing from his happy face, he is really from a girl. Don't-don't the pastry child who was said to be the same then? Euungs.. Akay.”
“Hahaha. Here's a message from big boss.”
“Chief steward you? You're up in office?”
“Hahaha. This isn't the big boss at the hotel, it's the big boss of a lifetime, aka my brother. She met in front of the hotel.”
“Ooh. Why not be sent here?”
“Do not, danger. Later he has a crush on you,” kelakar Aditya while laughing.
“Dih.. whatan hell.”
“Later I knew my brother. But don't have a crush on him, hahaha.”.
“Dih..gaje banget.”
“Truly, don't have a crush. If you have a crush I'll back off.”
“Kok is?”
“Because I love her so much.”
“Means you love me a lie huh?”
“Ngga. I love you too, you two are important people in my life after mama.”
“If you both had a crush on the same woman you would not what?”
“Ehmm.
“Why?”
“One, because I love my brother so much. Two, because he's hard to fall in love. If she's in love, she'll be special to her. Except for his first ex-lover, beuh not very deh.”
“Emang rich how was your brother's first love?”
“Sarimin team again to the market, hahaha..”.
No doubt the Goddess laughed when she heard it. He became curious about the figure of Aditya's brother who was so dear and proud of the young man. If you hear from the story, Dewi can imagine that Aditya's brother is a loving person. He wanted to have a sister like that too.
“Oh yes, your stomach still hurts?”
“Ngga.. ” is safe now.
“Gratitude deh. I'm leaving, yes.”
“Ngga with Rox?”
“He left earlier. Said to nganter aunt Amel first to the market.”
“Buset tuh kids.”
“Eh, is it aunt Amel's widow?” adit asked half a whisper.
“Ngaco! Says who?”
“Si Roxas.”
“Heleh the plug don't have to be horrified. His strength is high. People still have men called widows. But don't be told about the plug, let her nyaho (tau) aunt Amel still have a husband. Said the hell late this month her husband's aunt Amel came home.”
“Oh that, ok deh. I'm walking, baby. Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
Dewi waved her hand as Aditya's motor drove off. He was still standing in place when Aditya's two-wheeled vehicle came out of the rented gate. Then he walked over to Nenden to help him serve customers.
Aditya hummed softly on his motorbike which was traveling at high speed. The young man had to arrive at the hotel sooner because Adrian was already waiting for him there. Ten minutes later, he arrived near the hotel. He immediately passed through the gate and headed for the basement. The brother's car was parked near the motor park of the employees.
After removing his helmet, Aditya approached Adrian's car. The young man opened the door and sat down next to his brother. Adrian immediately took three packages containing souvenirs and gave them to Aditya.
“This gift-by for you same Roxas. Love your friends in kitchen” too
“Wah sate bandeng's. Thanks, bang.”
“Where do you contract?”
“You why did you ask?”
“Indeed brother can't know your contract?”
“Emang I don't know what's in your brain? Brother would want to see, in my contract, what is it. Then suddenly my brother sent goods to fill my contract. No... big no!” Aditya crossed both hands.
Adrian just chuckled at the words of his sister. In addition to wanting to know where his sister lived, he also wanted to ascertain whether the younger brother fulfilled his needs. But alas, Aditya could already read the direction of his mind.
“Lusa brother left for Batam, maybe immediately crossed to Singapore. What do you want to nitip?”
“Buy me new electric guitar.”
“Electric guitar?”
“Hehehe. I'm spending money to buy a new guitar. But yes share the same savings for marriage as well.”
“You seriously want to marry young?”
“Serious, bang. If he's ready, nothing. But if he can if he already graduated, let me still have a lot of time for nabung.”
“Hinya has agreed young marriage?”
“This is the problem, bang. He didn't give me an answer, I didn't want to be too excited to ask him to answer immediately. If he is a mate, where will he not go, will he bang?”
“Hmm. yes. When do you want to know your brother?”
“Sabar, bang. There's a time later. How's your own brother? You still don't have a gig?”
Aditya looked at the older brother. Adrian was silent, but a smile was printed on his face and caught by his sister. Aditya believes Adrian already has a girl pujaan, just still not want to reveal it.
“Don't overdue harbored, bang. Later go hunting people. If you're sure, just shoot. I'm sure he won't call.”
“Sok know you.”
“Feeling, bang.. feeling.”.
“Sana login.”
“Ok. Thanks for the gift. Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
Aditya got out of the car and closed the door. Adrian still hasn't run his car. He looked at the brother who had disappeared behind the door, and then ran his vehicle. This time it was the house of the Goddess. He wanted to make sure of the condition of the girl he loved.
The wheels of Adrian's vehicle continue to roll across the road which will lead him to the contract Haji Soleh. He experienced a slight traffic jam when passing through the In-Common road. It looks like there is an event at the Bandung mayor's office house that causes a little congestion there. Apart from the traffic jam, Adrian directly tancap gas towards the end.
Adrian parked his car near the gate of the contract Haji Soleh. The man took the package containing new souvenirs down from the four-wheeled vehicle. He approached Nenden who had just finished serving his customers.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Alhamdulillah well, ma'am,” Adrian returned Nenden's hand.
“This is a little souvenir for mom and Dewi.”
“Thank you very much, sir. Wah satay bandeng's. You're out of Serang?”
“Pandeglang, mom. It just so happens that there is work there. Goddess is bu?”
“There. Let's sit down first.”
Adrian followed Nenden's steps, then chose to sit waiting on the terrace. While Nenden continued to enter to put souvenirs and call the Goddess.
“Neng.. neng..”
“Iya, ma'am,” replied the Goddess from the bathroom.
“Ai neng meni titatadi bath can be done wae. Eta aya pak Adrian (Neng from earlier bathing has not been done yet. That's Adrian sir).”
Hearing the name Adrian, Dewi hastened her bathing ritual. Hurry her out of the bathroom. In the kitchen, Nenden was making drinks for his former homeroom teacher.
“Truly ma'am, Adrian sir who came?”
“Iya. Sana cepat pake shirt.”
The goddess rushed into her room. Suddenly his chest was beating hard. His hands shook so glad to hear that Adrian was coming. Dewi wore black leggings combined with long-sleeved shirts limited to the green thighs of the tosca. After polishing her face with a thin powder, coupled with lip-colored lip gloss and tying her hair, the girl covered her head with an instant black hijab.
After spraying perfume on her clothes, the Goddess came out of the room. The nervousness instantly melted him. Almost two weeks without seeing Adrian, made the girl a little groggy. With a slow step, the girl approached Adrian on the porch.
“A..” Call Goddess.
Adrian who was replying to a message from Ikmal immediately turned his head when he heard the voice of the Goddess. For a moment they both looked. Dewi cut off the view first and then sat down beside Adrian.
“How are you doing?”
“Alhamdulillah has improved.”
“Sgratitude.”
“New words tomorrow home.”
“The work is done, so you can go home faster. Wh why? Don't like it, I'm home early?”
“Like kok,” Dewi instantly shut her mouth with both hands when she realized she had slipped reply. Adrian smelled a thin smile.
“Ehem..where are the souvenirs?” The goddess raised her hand to Adrian. He was forced to switch the conversation due to misbehavior.
“Udah I love to mom.”
“What's it by?”
“Pepes whales. Like ngga?”
“Aa iih... can not answer the answer does not make people upset.”
Adrian just chuckled. He really longed to see the expression of the Goddess like this. If it is pouting, his face looks more funny and adorable. Her lips were moved a few inches and her cheeks slightly bloated.
“I brought sate bandeng. You like banding?”
“Like the hell, but rarely eat.”
“Why?”
“Males, abis much durinya.”
“If sata bandeng already has no durinya. You've never tried, have you?”
“Not yet. Aah to be a laper kan.”
“Eating gih, cobain taste. Surely you like.”
“Aa want to eat too?”
“Ngga. I've had breakfast.”
The goddess who was curious about the taste of satay bandeng, immediately headed for the kitchen. It just so happens that he hasn't had breakfast yet. He took the white rice that had just been cooked, then cut the milkfish satay and put it into a dish.
“Ehmm.. real good,”gum Goddess slowly after tasting it a little.
The girl then took a handful of red cayenne pepper, after washing it put in the cobek, plus a little slices of tomato, salt and sugar and then gave it a snack. Eating without sambal is like a vegetable without salt. It didn't take long, the impromptu champ was done. The goddess added the chili to the top of the plate then came out of the kitchen.
“Aa really don't want to eat?” The goddess tilted her head from the inside.
“Ngga.”
“Inside aja, a. While watching tv.”
Adrian got up from his seat and went inside. He sat beside the Goddess who was sitting cross-legged. On his thigh was a plate he had brought from the kitchen. His hand moved the television channel, then stopped at one of the television stations that aired power rangers movies.
“You still like to watch the rich gini?”
“Rame, a. Instead of watching gossip not clear,” replied Dewi while feeding food into her mouth.
“Ehmm. Are you sure you don't want to eat?”
“Ngga. Eat a lot so that your body gets higher and fatter. If skinny rich gini, can laugh the wind later.”
“Ish..”
Adrian smiled happily to see the Goddess who was eating voraciously. The girl's face was flushed from the spiciness. The rice on his plate was only a little left but he was still not full. Dewi woke up and went to the kitchen to add rice, satay bandeng and sambal. Not to forget he brought warm water to relieve the spicy taste. Then the girl returned to the front room.
Without shame, the Goddess continued to devour the food on her plate. No matter what Adrian was next to him. On the other hand, Adrian was happy to see the attitude of the Goddess who is what it is, not prestige to hold hunger. He was more happy with the souvenirs he brought was liked by the girl.
“Udah full eat it?” adrian asked after the Goddess finished eating. The girl's lips grew red due to the spicy taste of her homemade sambal.
“Udah, a. My stomach feels full. Geez sate bandengnya really good. If aa go there again, do not forget to bring it for me, yes.”
“Why do we go there sometime? Later you can eat as much as there.”
“Wah. But when?” The goddess tapped her chin with her index finger.
“Pray, hopefully there is a time and opportunity to play there.”
“Aamiin.”
“Your condition is really healthy right?”
“Udah a? did not see that I ate almost half a basket, it was a sign that I was healthy.”
“Hahaha..”.
Adrian laughed when he heard it. This girl beside him really made his mood always good. Unknowingly his outstretched hand rubbed the top of the Goddess's head, making the master lower his head to hide his red tinge.
“If you are healthy, tomorrow we go for a walk.”
“Where a?”
“Ke Note. To the place I sent the picture yesterday. Later we will go to the Saguling.” dam
“Truly, a?”
“Iya. Tomorrow at seven I'll pick you up. But I'll let you know first, if you can, we'll go.”
“Asiikk,” Goddesses cheer happy.
“Then I go home first, yes. I still have to meet Dawn with Doni to set the training time.”
“Emang aa want to get out of town again?” ask the Goddess suspiciously.
“Iya. In Shaa Allah the day after I left for Batam, maybe continued to cross to Singapore.”
The Goddess' face was grim again hearing it. Why after not serving as his homeroom teacher again, Adrian just got busier.
“How long, a?”
“Ehm..maybe until Sunday.”
“Over time, yes. Means I'm not training me again dong.”
“While the same sabeum Dawn first. The training must remain diligent, passionate and focused so that I am not the one who trains, ok.”
“Ok.”
Adrian stood up and walked out. The goddess followed the man's steps from behind. Adrian chose to approach Nenden first. In addition to saying goodbye, he also wants permission to take the girl for a walk tomorrow.
“Mother, if allowed, tomorrow I want to take Dewi for a walk to Cipatat not komar.”
“Bby, sir. I believe that the one who took me away, mr.”
“If mom wants to come. Occasionally refreshing enjoy the beauty of nature.”
“The driver anyway. But tomorrow I promise to help Ms. Ratna make rice boxes. Next time I'll come.”
“Hopefully another time mom can come.”
“Aamiin. thank you for the offer.”
“Sama-sama, ma. Excuse me first. Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
Aditya looks at Dewi for a while before heading to where her car is parked. The goddess approached her mother, then hugged the woman's arm. He continued to look towards Adrian who got into the car and before long his vehicle moved out of the gate.
