I went down from my room to the dining room. Looks mamah help bik Siti prepare breakfast.
"Met mornin' mah" greeted me as usual.
"For Jay" replied Mama briefly.
Soon, Papah and my two brothers joined the dinner table.
They were very neat in their tie suits, whereas I only wore a t-shirt and black jeans.
Yes, my two brothers started to join the papah company after graduating from college. I decided to open my own ice cream shop. From school I was not as genius as my brother. Even though my college was forced into business accounting, still I was reluctant to join the company.
Opening an ice cream shop is also a small business. Not too off track from my major, I thought to encourage myself.
"When do you want to be an iceberg, Jay? " the papah insinuations as usual.
"Until success dong" I replied lightly.
"Success is not as easy as you might think, Jay. " Ejek papah's.
"At least I can buy my own vehicle reward. "i answer I don't want to lose cynical.
Papah grew increasingly furious at my light answer.
" You are, yes, that kind of motorbike you're proud of." Papah's chirps are getting spicy.
" Pah, let Jay eat quietly." mamah reprimands don't want the atmosphere to heat up.
" You should start reading company documents, Jay. Who knows you're interested." continued papah did not heed the rebuke mamah.
I let out a breath.
"Until any time, I wouldn't like a stack of papers full of numbers that reward. I am not a termite. I am me, the ant." I said.
Papah put down his spoon.
" you, I thought the old man said.......... "
Drrrrrttt drrrrrt drrrrrrt
Papah's words were cut off hearing my HP tremors on the table.
All eyes were on my phone screen.
*RAYA is calling*
"Right of God called Lu, Jay?" ask bang Roni who was silent earlier.
My two brothers were silent not because of the calm, but because they were still lethargic for the effects of last night's hangover.
" Noh just ask her boyfriend." I answered while turning my lips toward the Ardi bang.
" The cave is broken, bosen cave groove is so grand." replied Ardi with an innocent look.
" You are well, how many times have you said the same. Don't play girls. Work focus." now papah replace nagging bang Ardi.
" Papah ni dizzy, have 3 children but no one can count on." continued papah.
" Sorry pah, just bang Ardi same bang Roni tailed. I don't have a tail." I said teasing papah.
Of course, because I'm an ant. While bang Roni I nicknamed the bird, because it always flew free. He loves freedom.
So it's natural that all women are just a stopover when she's lonely. Bang Roni never had a boyfriend even though many women had slept with him.
While bang Ardi is a land crocodile, aprica lizard. I don't know, anyway he's a crocodile handler. For him lovers are not enough one, even dozens.
And what's more, the victim of the Ardi bang always confided her to me.
Yes.. i. An ant who knows nothing about love.

I heard Papah is still continuing his lecture. And it seemed that both of my brothers had left the dining table without caring about the long lecture.
I also do not want to lose, I immediately greet mamah and papah.
" Assalamu'alaikum" I said as I hurriedly left the papah who was still continuing his morning lecture.
I went to my Vespa motorbike which I parked in front of the house. Yes, this was my work when I first opened the shop. The motor that papah only uses for this junkyard is very valuable to me.
I really love my blind Vespa.
Unlike my two brothers who always ask to buy a luxury car every year. I'm still loyal to my Vespa.
***
I'm more comfortable living like this, away from the word luxury.
It took me half an hour to get to my ice cream shop. Especially if the road is jammed.
sometimes I dream of finding an angel who sincerely loves me for who I am. Not because of my parents' property.
How wonderful is the story in Korean dramas that are often watched by my mother.
Suddenly the guy met accidentally with a girl in the middle of a crowded highway. Collide and then start a small quarrel.
Or maybe they were fascinated at first sight.
GUBRAAAAKK.
That loud voice rattled me from my daydream.
I looked towards the source of the sound. It turned out that the motorcycle behind me hit a car parked on the edge of the road.
I glanced at the driver, who was a tomboy. Very visible from the way he dressed and the way he was careless towards the owner of the car.
Haven't seen the tomboy's face yet, the green light is on.
Make all vehicles honk impatiently.
I also left that place.

Arriving at the store...
" Morning boss. "greet one of my employees and one of my childhood friends.
Brought with his round face approached me.
" Your new menu is ready yet? " tanyaku.
" It seems to have been. "he answered while scratching his eel seemed to think.
Regardless of his words, I continued my steps towards the kitchen.
There I checked all my employees were preparing everything.
Well, even though it's a small shop, I've been able to hire 6 employees.
And they're all men. I don't know why I'd rather accept a male employee than a female employee.
" When it's all ready, open 10 more minutes." I told them.
" Well, sir" they answered.
I walked into my room on the second floor. My shop has only two floors.
The 1st floor is for the store, and the 2nd floor is my room. My place brings up new ideas. Sometimes my nap.
I turned on my leptop, and started looking for the hottest topic of the week.
Looking for what are the latest types of ice cream in several countries, this can be a reference I found a new type of ice cream.
Although it is not always exactly the same as the original, because I add Indonesian elements in it.
So no wonder my ice cream shop still needs local ingredients.
Like my first ice cream sold. I mix french ice cream with red beans on top.
Drrrrrttt drrrrrt drrrrrrt
My HP shook again.
Oh shiittt.
" Hallo Kak Raya, sorry I'm on the road.tut tuuuutt. "after speaking original, I immediately turn off the phone call Raya.
I really don't want to interfere too much with their love affairs. I moved my HP a little far away from me.
But still my HP vibration sound was heard.
I took a rough breath, then I grabbed my HP.
Daaaaan I just turn off my HP.
... connect.
