THE BACHELOR?!!

Chapters 13. Palau

The night is late. The whole house was asleep. Only the great-grandchildren are still awake. After dinner, there was a lot of thinking about that. Especially his feelings with Ucup. Honestly, since knowing Joseph, Cicit felt that there was another feeling in his heart. The same feeling he had been keeping for Ucup.

The girl was even astonished when she felt jealous earlier. Joseph was the man he had only known this month. Why do you feel like you've known him for so long? Sometimes the great-grandchildren feel they see Ucup in Joseph. Sometimes what question may not Joseph be Ucup? likes to come to his mind.

Right now the long haired girl was thinking about Mr. Andre's words. The great-grandson was surprised to hear the fact that Joseph could not move on from his past as much as he did. The thought of the great-grandson is Bakwan. It is impossible that the name of the person is bakwan. What does this have to do with Bakwan? I used to give bakwan to Ucup. Ucup is probably Joseph. I have to investigate it properly.

Elsewhere, a man was also being upset just like a great-grandson. The man kept remembering all the events. Sometimes smiling sometimes frowning, sometimes grim. Just like the great-grandson, Joseph became curious about what his father, Andre, said. Especially when you hear Leika. Come to think of it, Leika's name would be suitable for women. Her boy name was Leika. But, Leika is also a brand name of camera. As I recall, my camera lost the lens cap. That's why I need to find a replacement.

If remembering Andre saying that Cicit could not move on from his past, Joseph was really very jealous. Joseph was so jealous of the man whom the great-grandson sought. If only that man were me, how lucky to be loved by great-grandchildren for that long. A great-granddaughter is a girl I would want to marry if she didn't have one. Chirp oh great-grandchild! Why did you make me all this? If only Sri were you, I would have married you right away. Do I approach it, huh? Had if like that I even look like a playboy, how would if Sri met later? Ah, nevermind! Just go to sleep first. Tomorrow we have to go to the halfway house to see the development of children's learning.

This Sunday morning was very bright. The sky was so blue with a slight sweep of white clouds. The sun was also very gallant emitting its rays. Every Sunday was a time for the great-grandchildren to report to Joseph. The presence of great-grandchildren at the halfway house is not only teachers but also supervisors for children. The great-grandson not only monitors from the academic side but also the psychological and health side of the children. The great-grandson had to give Joseph a daily report of the children's activities. Also a weekly report which is a summary of activities during the week. Every week Joseph came to ask directly about the activities to the children. The point is to make sure that what Cicit reported is true.

For two weeks since the children's demand for gardening and raising and sewing began to show the results of their learning. Children are confused about their learning outcomes. When they asked to raise. Joseph immediately built a small-scale farm for laying chickens. Joseph also bought 100 laying hens. With the care that has been taught in a short time the chickens began to produce eggs. Initially for self-consumption because the eggs are still a little. Now all mothers have started laying eggs so the eggs produced are also many. Confused children want to be accompanied by the eggs.

Another with children who learn to garden. Joseph built a hydroponic house for them. Coincidentally the soil in the backyard is still spacious so it can be used to grow vegetables. There are two types of vegetables grown, namely kale and spinach as the beginning of the experiment. Kale and spinach planted have started to grow. In the next 3 weeks it has started to be harvested. If for its own consumption is certainly very excessive. Therefore, the children asked Cicit to speak to Joseph to allow them to sell their crops.

Likewise with children who take sewing courses. Yusuf bought all sewing needs ranging from sewing machines, obras machines, to quality materials and threads. The first week they were taught to make basic patterns of clothing and started trying to sew based on the patterns made. They quickly absorb the lessons so no wonder within one week they have started to be good at sewing.

The following week they were asked to make their own patterns and sew clothes based on the patterns they made. The results are very good. If the activity is continued then the clothes produced will be many. Not that they don't want to wear homemade clothes. The problem is that every month they are always bought clothes by Joseph. Their closet is full. They are also thinking of selling their stitches.

Joseph usually comes before breakfast. The great-grandchildren are now on the front page to clean up. When Joseph came, the great-grandson was sweeping the scattered leaves. This morning Cicit wore a milk-brown t-shirt with his hair dyed. Joseph looked at him from the fence. The man smiled looking at the great-grandson. Then walk over to Cicit.

"Assynnya!" Yusuf greeted with a smile by revealing his white teeth.

"Glamma!" He answered the greetings of Joseph. After the turmoil last night, Cicit felt awkward when dealing with Joseph. To reduce his awkwardness, Cicit called the children. The children swarmed Joseph like ants coming to sugar.

"Bao... Bang Ucup when is it coming?" asked Arul who was curious because he had cleaned the grass near the fence but did not see Joseph coming.

The great-grandson who heard the name Ucup turned around. At first he went to the room to get a report. His heart is racing. "U... The cups? Is not his name Joseph?" Tweet very curious. But he continued his intention to go to the room to retrieve the report.

Now they are in the dining room. Everyone has gathered, including the great-grandchildren. They had breakfast together. After breakfast, the children immediately undergo their own activities. There are those who go directly to the chicken coop, some to the hydroponic house, some to the sewing room, some are watching TV and so on.

Cicit and Yusuf now live alone in the living room. The great-grandson gave the results of a weekly report to Joseph. Yusuf read the report and signed it which means the report has been completed.

"This is Mr. Yusuf! The children asked me to give you permission to sell their livestock, their gardens, and their stitches. What do you think, father?"

"Cit, can't be so formal. We are the same age. You call me Yusuf or you can call me Ucup! The kids also used to call me Bang Ucup!"

The great-granddaughter was surprised to hear Joseph calling her by the name of Ucup. Ucups?! Is this the Ucup I'm looking for? Thought in the heart.

"You're surprised, then? Is the name Ucup so special?" ledek Yusuf with a small laugh.

"Who is Leika?" Joseph was curious. When the great-grandson will explain Zily comes with Bara and Biri.

"Bang, come here! Zily wants to see Bara and Biri's new abilities." Joseph's attention was distracted. They finally went to the backyard. To the dog training arena. Zily showed Yusuf the results of dog training. Joseph was very happy because the early stage training was successful. Joseph praised Zily and rubbed the heads of Bara and Biri.

Shortly after that came the other children to show off their learning results. Joseph followed them all. Indeed the main purpose of Joseph came to see the results of their learning. Their conversation was interrupted.

Meanwhile, the early morning at General Krishna's residence was very unusual due to the arrival of guests. Her guests are none other than the Laras family. Father, mother, and Shaka come to the residence of General Krishna. After breakfast they gathered in the living room.

"Dad heard from Krishna that Cicit escaped. Should Papa just refuse this matchmaking request?" Mr. Surya started the conversation.

"Maybe it's better!" General Krishna chimed.

"You two can't go on Saturday tomorrow and come and see your business partner to discuss this matchmaking?"

"Can't yah! Laras has promised to visit Cicit's place. It's not nice to get canceled unilaterally anyway. They have prepared everything for us. Besides, we're going there to see a potential ghost." Laras refuses his father's invitation.

"Mantu candidate? meaning?" ask Mr. Surya.

"That's the Ucup! Which Laras told me about at the time. It turns out that the person Cicit was looking for all this time was his superior. It's just that the great-grandson doesn't know yet. It turns out he's getting hotter." Baras explained in detail.

"I haven't accepted her as a potential ghost!" Bima is still insistent not yet want to recognize Yusuf as a potential ghost.

"It turns out his real name is good too, Yusuf Mahardika Winata! Wonder why his nickname is Ucup?" Baras was curious about Ucup's nickname.

How does his name look like his grandson Adrian? Is it possible that the person is the same? But not necessarily either. There are also people whose names are the same but whose faces are different. Mr. Surya.

"That meant yesterday that Shaka didn't look wrong dong! A week ago when Shaka was walking in Shaka mall, I saw Kak Cicit. But Shaka doubts if it's Brother Cicit or not. You see it also from far away." Shaka this time confirmed the truth that what he saw yesterday was really great-grandchild.

"When are you guys leaving?" ask Mr. Surya.

"Friday afternoon yeah! Let's stay the same great-grandson longer!"

"Yes, say hello to my father for the great-granddaughter. Tell him not to run away again! Grandpa is sorry! The match will be cancelled." Mr. Surya sent a message to Cicit.

"Ready to do, Dad!"

"Bude, if you've got a message to Shaka! Later Shaka also wants to meet Brother Cicit!" Laras nodded his ass.

Although Shaka is older, Shaka still calls Cicit with his older brother, because Cicit is the son of his mother's older brother.
