THE BACHELOR?!!

Chapters 10. Stroker!

It's been a month since I taught at a halfway house. The situation of the halfway house is now much better and disciplined. The kids are no longer busking. Since being lectured by Cicit that morning they began to improve themselves. There is no more lazy word in them. They are also more obedient. No one's running out the night anymore.

Seeing the significant changes of his foster children, Joseph increasingly admired the great-grandson. Not infrequently every request Cicit or his foster children directly approved. As recently, the girls whined to take cooking and sewing courses. Joseph immediately agreed and brought a teacher for them. The boys also do not want to lose, they want to learn to raise. Joseph also brought in experts in the farm. The backyard is still wide. Especially for the cooking teacher, Yusuf asked Mama Aiu to teach. The goal is definitely to get closer to Cicit.

It has been a month, since the first meeting, Joseph felt something different in him. Especially in his heart. Sometimes he feels guilty for Sri because it is like a heartache. But every time he saw the great-grandson, Joseph felt like he saw Sri in him. Yusuf had confided with Mama Aiu about his feelings. Mama Aiu was confused to answer how because she had never met Sri or Cicit. It was also what made Mama Aiu accept Yusuf's offer to teach the children to cook.

Saturday morning at the halfway house was already so busy, especially Ms. Nia. Because today there will be a cooking course, then Ibu Nia assisted the girls to prepare all the needs to learn later. The great-grandson also helped prepare the ingredients and arrange the cooking utensils on the table.

Time shows at 09:00. Joseph and Mama Aiu have arrived. Joseph introduced Mama Aiu to the children including the great-grandson.

"Ma, meet this great-granddaughter. His full name is Citra Srikandi Wirabuana!"

Mama Aiu reached out her hand then was greeted by a great-granddaughter. Now they shake hands and mention each other by name.

"Partner! You can call me great-grandchild!"

"Beautiful! Introduce me Aiu! Joseph's mother!"

After getting acquainted, Mama Aiu took Joseph outside the room.

"It's worth your confusion that great-grandchildren are so beautiful!" Joseph smiled at the sumringah.

"It's not just that ma! The taste of the bakwan is the same! Try it later mama's!"

"If you do not meet Sri, the same great-grandmother will love blessing!" Mama Aiu was very happy because Joseph could like women.

Mama Aiu returned to the room. The middle-aged woman started a cooking class. For the initial stage is the introduction of cooking tools and ingredients. Mama Aiu explained one by one the kitchen utensils used for cooking. After the conclusion of explaining held a question and answer session. The girls were very enthusiastic in asking and listening to the answers carefully. They also recorded every explanation from Mama Aiu.

"All right now we're starting to learn how to cook! Our menu today is bakwan! You've got each other's ingredients, right?"

"It's over!"

"All right! I'll explain how to make it! Oh yes, Miss Cicit can also make if you want! Yusuf said that the bakwan made by Bu Cicit is delicious! I want to try!"

The great-granddaughter who heard Mama Aiu's words became shocked. He did not expect that Joseph would tell his mother that. He searches for the whereabouts of Joseph. His eyes went around the corner of the room. But Joseph was not there. The great-grandson finally fulfilled Mama Aiu's request to make a bakwan.

Outside the room, a man was crammed into the wall. His head occasionally poked at the door. The man did not dare to enter. A boy and his dogs caught the man.

"Hayoo! Bang Ucup what's going on here?" Joseph was shocked when Zily patted his ass.

"Ssttt! Don't be noisy!"

"The scoop isn't it? Must be ngintipin Sister Cicit huh?!"

"St! Zily shut up dong! Hear discovered!" Zily wanted to kill Joseph.

"Yes Zily was silent but Bang Ucup bought Zily some ice cream!?"

"Okay, ready!" Joseph stood behind the wall, peering. Zily entered the room with her dogs. Zily shouted, "There's a Lover!"

All the girls were shocked. Joseph was outside the room.

Asem Si Zily! Joseph.

Mama Aiu calming class. Mama Aiu came out to catch The Lover. Mama Aiu brought Joseph into the classroom and grabbed Joseph by the ear.

"Sick ma! By dong! Shame to see the kids!"

"Know shame! But why are you still struggling! If you want to go in, just go in!" Mama Aiu nagged Yusuf.

All the children in the class laughed at Joseph's behavior. Yusuf was just grinning while scratching his head that was not itchy. The grandchildren laughed seeing that too. He remembered his father who was often hired by his mother if he acted strangely.

How are mom and dad? So kangen. It's been a month too. Maybe I should call them.

"Kids, I'm sorry you bothered me! Zily, let's get out of here, don't bother me anymore!" Zily obeyed Joseph's words. Bara and Biri also came out.

Cooking classes are resumed. Half an hour passed. All the dishes are cooked and served on the plate.

"All right! Now you exchange your bakwan with a friend on the side. Let your friends taste the tub. After that do the assessment and tell honestly the shortcomings of each bakwan. To Ms. Cicit, the employees let me taste!"

The participants swapped their baskets and tasted them. The great-granddaughter brought her homemade bakwan in front of Mama Aiu. Aiu took the bakwan with her hand then stuffed it into her mouth. Slowly the woman chewed on the chirp and began to feel it. As Joseph said, it was like the taste of the bakwan that Joseph brought 15 years ago.

The same taste is only made by the same person. Mama Aiu so think also if Cicit is Sri. Unfortunately Mama Aiu had never seen Sri's face. Although Yusuf has a photo of Sri but it is only the back view.

"Son, after this we have a conversation! I haven't talked to a girl in a long time. Both of my daughters are accompanying their husbands to study abroad. So it's been a long time since we've had a close conversation with a fellow woman." The great-grandchild just nodded.

I'm a miss mom! I haven't talked to my mom in a month. Usually, the night always talks with mom. Chirp.

After the class ended, Cicit accompanied Mama Aiu in the backyard. They sit under a tree.

"That's a pretty great little bit! The cooking is good too! Already have a girlfriend yet?" Mama Aiu asked without further ado. Not far from the tree, Joseph peeked at them. This time not only snooping but also eavesdropping.

My mom doesn't use pleasantries! Joseph.

"Sweetie doesn't have a boyfriend and doesn't want to date mom!"

"Alhamdulillah! What if you marry Joseph?"

Ow hell! Mom just went to the point! Joseph.

"Sorry Miss Aiu! Currently even though Cicit does not have a girlfriend, there is someone who Cicit likes and is still looking for the whereabouts of that person. I don't dare to play with people's feelings, ma'am. Although I admit that Mr. Yusuf is handsome!"

"Who are you looking for that? Maybe you can help!"

Mama what the hell! Kok even want to help Cicit find my rival. Joseph.

"What's not a hassle? I am not feeling good. Already refused Mr. Yusuf even helped find people I like."

"It's okay! I am not a vengeful person. If you want to help, help!"

"Thank you, Aiu! His name is Ucup ma'am!"

A ucup? How is Joseph's nickname?! Don't-don't... Aiu.

"Other name, you have another clue?"

"There's mom! I'll take it for a moment!"

The great-granddaughter left Aiu and returned to her room. Unfortunately when Cicit said the name Ucup, Yusuf was not in the position. Joseph was discovered by Zily. Joseph was afraid that Zily would act again, so Joseph left the place.

Tweet back to where Aiu is. He's got a camera lens cap.

"This is Mom, Leika!" Cicit handed the camera lens cap to Aiu. Aiu held onto the lid of the lens and watched it closely.

It's like Joseph's! But, is it possible? Aiu.

He flipped the lid of the lens and saw a small inscription in it. Aiu took out her glasses and put them on. Aiu read the small writing. Sure enough, the name of Ucup was written there. Mama Aiu smiled widely. Sumringah's face.

Aiu remembered when Joseph came home from the study tour at that time. He saw that Joseph's camera had no lens cover. When asked Yusuf said the lid was lost in the forest.

"In addition to the name and cover of this lens, do you have any other leads?"

"Unfortunately there is no mom! I've been looking for a guy named Ucup but none of them claim to own this lens cover." Tweeted.

"Did I just give up and accept an arranged marriage?"

"Stupid?"

"Yes mom! I came to this city looking for Ucup to avoid matchmaking. Although it has been a long time, I want to confirm this feeling with Ucup! But my efforts have not been fruitful!" Tweeted his sad face.

"You ran away, huh?"

"Toky mom knows?"

"of course. Have you told your mom and dad that you're here?" Tweeted.

"You better call your parents. Tell me your situation and what you want. I think they'll understand!" The great-grandchild just nodded. Aiu hugged the great-grandson gently.

Haha. There was also a chance to kill Joseph. It turns out that the prospective ghost who was sought all this time was in plain sight. Hihah... Aiu.
