Sharing Love: Loving Myself And Herself

Season 2: Chapter 8

Mentari rode his motorbike back to his residence, to a modest residence. He only lives with his mother who keeps up with selling cakes, he continues to mumble annoyed when he gets home

"There is such a man, his mouth-rich eyes unguarded. It's a good thing that you still have a family relationship with Azriel, if not .. I still understand you otherwise I've beaten you up and clogged your mouth with this cake of mine," Mentari exasperated as she walked in. He even forgot to say his regretful greetings, not to mention that his sense of regret was lost because the order of the cake was canceled. Mentari again meets Lucia on the road and increasingly makes her feel upset. Fortunately, he was able to restrain himself so as not to throw the cake that was canceled by the customer to Lucia's face.

"So, what's wrong with you, son?" tanya Rusmi, the mother of Mentari.

"This, Ma. I met Grandma on the street, "it made Rusmi just shake her head.

"Well, this is the cake you still bring home, son? They don't buy, do they?" asked Rusmi again when he saw the cake that had been below by his daughter there was something left.

"Yes, Mom. The person did not take it, he said he had ordered elsewhere. The rule is that if he has a message with us, he can not message again to another place, or if he has already ordered elsewhere, he must cancel it earlier on us. We've been harmed many times, ma'am. Loss of these cake ingredients, loss of gas money and loss of time. Not to mention I was also in a hurry to deliver him afraid of being late." Mentari paused his sentence, "The one that hurt me the most, ma'am. I met someone who upset me" Mentari said at length, he was very upset because of the incident, if there was no one else in the car, maybe he would invite Lucia to just do not need to bacot.

"Had it been, it may not have been our sustenance, you should not be the name also sell yes we sometimes profit and sometimes loss, if we are angry when we lose it will only add to our losses."

Mentari was upset to decide to rest in his room, in the last semester there were many college tasks that he had to do, all of it was very draining of his brain and energy. Not to mention he had to find a fee to pay off his semester money later, because if he could not pay everything he would not be allowed to attend graduation this year. All that makes Mentari will do everything possible to collect money that includes making more cakes than usual and also deliver.

Although the place of booking is quite far and even though there are only a few benefits that he will get, he will still take the order.

Mentari who had wanted to rest and sleep early again woke up when he heard his mother who was doing something in the kitchen, there were noises there and he was sure that his mother would have started baking again. He immediately followed his mother into the kitchen, and sure enough. His mother made the cake to sell tomorrow.

Besides being sold online, they also sell the cake by dropping it into the nearest stalls.

"You must be tired all day delivering cakes and also lectures, just rest this so that the mother who works. This mom just makes some of it and the rest we make tomorrow again together. Just take a break!" rusmi. However, Mentari shook his head, he took another container and also made another dough, he still helped his mother even though he was very sleepy.

"Mom, do you think our cake is delicious?" tanya Mentari recalled the words from Lucia.

"Of course it tastes good" replied Rusmi who still continues to stir the dough.

"Mom, do you have any more delicious cake recipes than this? Even if it's expensive?"

"Sure!"

"really? What if we try to make it, Mom? We're going to target the rich as consumers."

"How do we sell it?"

"I have friends and some of them are wealthy, kind-hearted people. I can promote to them and have them continue their promotion to their families.

"Can it be like that? Are they going to buy it?"

"of course. Especially if it tastes good in proportion to its appearance and price. Maybe some rich people don't want to buy our cake because their taste is not the same as the taste of the cake that we make is cheap." Mentari is still excited about his new idea.

"This cake recipe is indeed something better than this. This is not really a recipe. Mother only makes according to the price, because if making the price more expensive fear we will not return the capital, mother also does not have that much capital."

"really? Yes Ma'am we try one or two doughs, later I will ask my friends to promote to their colleagues, who knows if anyone likes it, right?"

"But the capital will be very much and anyways if we do not sell for a loss, you are in need of your tuition fees. The price of all the ingredients is also not small, maybe a range of 200 thousands of one dough."

"No papa, Mom. Let's try two doughs, later I'll try to sell them for 300 to 350."

"Yes already, I can. If you really want to try it later mom shopping first this material. There are not enough ingredients and there are still many other ingredients that do not exist.

Now the price of the cake is cheap, look at it someday, I will sell the cake at 1 million per box, he said, just look later he will prove if he does not sell cheap cakes that taste cheap, even though cheap tastes very good.

Mentari will prove to Lucia if the cake made is a good cake not inferior to foreign cakes.

Meanwhile Lucia, Khanza and Farah have arrived at Abidzar's house. Farah brought two boxes of cookies, one of which was given to Aisyah.

"Yes, let's eat there" said Farah, he also considers Aisyah like her own daughter they are like family.

"Yes, you rest first, tomorrow we visit Azriel again" said Farah who is tired and needs rest. Farah nodded and headed to her room, not forgetting that she asked Lucia to come with her.

Lucia who missed her mother also approached her mother to the room, tonight she wants to sleep with her mother.

Farah will stay for how many days here. As soon as they got to the room and Farah had started opening her belongings Lucia dropped her ass on the bed.

"How long has Mommy been here?"

"Mommy can't be long, maybe only 3 days mommy should go home. You also have to go home, you are already in college and this is your last semester."

Hearing that Lucia continued to put on her pouting face, if allowed she wanted to stay in the country only.

"Why? Don't you want to go home?"

"May I take longer, Mom?"

"Calm down, Azriel's fine."

"Mom, can I continue after graduating from college here? I want to be close to Azriel."

Hearing that Farah was sitting next to her daughter, she clasped Lucia's hand tightly.

"What do you really feel about Azriel?" asked Farah who had also been paying attention to her daughter's attitude to Azriel.

"Mom, is it wrong if I love her? A woman's love for a man? Not a sister's love for her brother."

"Lucia, are you sure it's love? Not just an affection for her brother?" asking Fatah made Lucia shake her head quickly.

"I don't know, Mom. When was this love, but I loved Azriel so much, especially when I was with the woman I didn't know what their relationship was, but I could see if Azriel liked her. I even saw a picture of the woman on Azriel's phone as wallpaper, Mom. I don't like it."

"Oh so that's why you're acting like that to that girl? Huh yeah?" said Farah, he knew his son was indeed very spoiled and did not think too much about the lives of others, but his attitude had made him quite surprised. He's not the Lucia he knows, he won't insult someone like he did.

"Do you think insulting the woman Azriel likes in front of her will make her happy with you? No, Son. He'll hate you more and think negatively about you, I can see his expression earlier he's not happy about what you said to that girl."

"I know, I know very well. You guys are not happy either, but I did it on purpose, I'm satisfied to do it" he said, folding his hands to his chest.

"Lucia, mommy knows what Azriel looks like and she doesn't like girls like you, and that's going to make her dislike you even more. So, stop showing that attitude if you really want to."

"Do I have to pretend to like and be two-faced in front of him? Should I be ready to welcome him? But don't like him, is that what you want?"

"It's not like that, son. At least you didn't insult him and your attitude earlier when we were on the road was so inappropriate, you not only insulted him, but also insulted his work."

"Mommy defended him anyway! Who's Mommy's kid here, me or that girl?"

Farah knew at this time her daughter seemed to be emotional, jealous of the woman named Mentari earlier. He should choose to silence the situation that is starting to tighten.

"Yes, you rest. Mommy takes a shower first" said Farah then she went into the bathroom, while Lucia lay down and picked up her phone.

Downstairs. Khanza sat at the dining table with Aisyah.

"Aisha, are you a girl named Mentari?" khanza asked while eating the cake brought by Farah, the cake was indeed more delicious than made by Mentari. However, the cake made by Mentari also tastes good and does not deserve Lucia insult him like that, let alone Mentari has the good intention of giving the cake to Azriel.

"Content? I don't really know, he's a college friend. I met him several times while together with Big Brother," Aisyah replied casually.

"Are they really not dating yet?"
