Haidar was stunned involuntarily getting up from his seat.The news certainly surprised him. Mahreen's gonna stay with Mama? how come? Mama is a person who does not easily accept the appearance of others...
Haidar calms his heartbeat that was not seritme with his breath that hunts due to emotional outbursts, either because of excitement and murmur.
📱"Then?" urge Haidar.
📲"Yes, today we want to go to Mahreen's boarding house, clean all the boxes and the same package that has a cost." replied Callista.
📱"I'll help you." said Haidar
📲 "No need Brother." reject Callista, "And Brother again work. time is only this, want to skip work?"
Haidar gulped, feeling insinuated by Callista's rejection. right also. while he is building a career as a leader of the empowerment division not long ago with the hope, after a long experience in the field of business, he is building a career as a leader of the empowerment division recently with the hope, after long experience in the business sector, Haidar will replace the position of Dewinta who has long wanted to retire, as the next President of Buana Asparaga Tbk.
the young man should not be immersed in the euphoria of the love that is growing into that love.he must be professional, also proportionate in his obligations and rights as an owner and employee in the family business kingdom. as her mother had emphasized long ago.
Haidar deliberately placed Dewinta in that section with the aim of being able to recognize the character of all employees, colleagues and their business rivals, Haidar can develop his business instinct to develop ideas towards productivity as per the purpose of the business it is built.
Haidar sighed.
📱"Alright, I leave it to you to help him.I hope he will be at home Ali." he said slowly.
📲 "Or did I just ask Brother Haanish to help him?" lure Callista. jealousy immediately stung the feeling of the young man.
📱"No need," interrupted Haidar quickly. "She is now officially part of Buana Asparaga Tbk. The child is getting busy now."
📲 "Ooo... is that so?" muttered Callista slowly. "Okay, we're the only two who pack things at the boarding house."
📱" Well. let me know if you're at Ali's residence." said Haidar.
📲 "Good, Brother. assalamualaikum.." said Callista.
📱"Wa alaikum salaam.." replied Haidar then pressed the button again and the holographic screen disappeared.
the young man leaned his back against a chair and looked up at the sky of the room.
...*****...
Haanish arrived at the Lasantu residence and parked his mount in the garage.The residence is now being renovated by Haanish by incorporating a dojo into its home complex.
the building is three-story, more like a villa in the middle of the city. Haanish asked for one of the famous architectures, Dr. Afrianto Salawali, M.T. to design the residence, especially the inside of the dojo, is made exactly the same as the old dojo. while the outside leading to the park is fitted with a fusuma door and genkan. while the inside is fitted with shoji doors. Kamidana shelves are installed in the middle of the northern wall flanked by mufudakake boards and replicas of ancient armor, Oyoroi whose chest is painted kamon Mochizuki family.
beside the dojo there is a living room as well as a stylish pantry with a serving table in the middle of the room.the relaxing room is on the second and third floors.The building has six spacious rooms.
now according to the agreement, Haidar returned to the Lasantu residence and occupied a room on the second floor opposite Haanish's room. he felt it would not be as free as before because there were live CCTVs that would watch him.
Haidar looks more like a personal bodyguard than an older brother.The young man is very protective and hateful whose name is a deflection of faith. haanish's lifestyle has been considered heretical because it legalizes adultery even though the young man never once played with women other than Denada. Haanish faithful man with one partner.as a man whose life is straight, Haidar often judges his sister with strong words even though Haanish always responded casually to make the young man's emotional explosion disease recur even though it was not to slam and throw things.
Haanish since childhood does have a pathological laughing tendency where the sufferer, even though in a state of anger, the explosion that appears is laughing. Haidar, if he had seen his sister laughing loudly, he would immediately be silent because if the quarrel was continued then it would definitely continue with a physical confrontation between the two. winning becomes ash, losing becomes charcoal.the act that only brings futility.
Haanish has always controlled its deformity with meditation in the dojo, as with Haidar.The two are actually a compact unity although there is always a difference of understanding between the two due to differences in perspective on life.
the young man headed to the kitchen and made coffee drinks.sounds footsteps approaching.a parobaya woman, maybe five years older than Aunt Imel who is a housekeeper at the residence of Ali, a woman who is, appear and rebuke Haanish.
"Nyong*) Haanish why shade alone? it was Bibi's job." said Bik Inah, a domestic assistant who was also brought by Haidar to settle in the house.he brought two baskets full of vegetable and fish groceries from the Mo'odu market.
*) Nyong is one of the sentences in Gorontalo-Manado accent which means Young Master or Youth.twisted from Dutch, Jong which means also Youth.
"Yeeee Bibi.. If Bibi was there, Haanish was not alone." tangkis young man then looked at the groceries brought by Bik Inah. "What is Bi?"
"Just call Nyong both." replied Bik Inah, "Nyong Haidar has ordered Bibi to buy whatever Nyong Haanish likes. nih.." he said showing the contents in the basket.
Haanish smiled, "Wuah, poultice is true he will be all my favorite." the young man comments then went forward to kiss Bik Inah's cheek quickly made the parobaya woman shocked. "Thank you beautiful aunt." he praised.
Blush, "Issyy... Nyong Haanish flirtatious ah. When women as old as me are still kissed all. ashamed of age, Nyong..."
Haanish laughed softly. "My foster mother's aunt is here. Yes, I have to treat you well" replied Haanish who was grim as he left the pantry carrying his coffee glass to the second floor porch.
the words of the foster mother made the parobaya woman baper. both her eyes glazed and her lips reviewed the smile. "Please Nyong, already consider me as Nyong's mother. I promise to serve Nyong needs as Nyong Haidar needs." he said. Bik Inah shrank her tears that had fallen and continued her activities to clean up her groceries.
...*******...
Mahreen who arrived with Callista was greeted by Aunt Imel who had been pre-ordered by Inayah to serve Mahreen, a few large boxes of milk were carried by the parobaya woman as a porters carried things without feeling tired.
Callista and Mahreen just stared in wonder and amazement at how strong Aunt Imel straddled the dus-dus even though at the age of four heads, almost five.
"Crazy..is that a woman or a weightlifter? lightly right he embraced dus-dus yours. whereas I was hauling it up to ngosan you know." Mahreen said softly to Callista.
"Eh, his strength is not just that." added Callista. "Tante Imel was also a martial arts master.he was taught a little how to fight by the Great Mistress you know, he was already a second-line yudansha level."
"Oh yeah?" mahreen's response was more astonished. "His physique is strong, maybe always work out at the gym."
"Miss Mahreen and Miss Callista are welcome to go inside to enjoy a snack" said Aunt Imel flatly and authoritatively.
Mahreen smiled and nodded. Callista just laughed softly and then stepped with Mahreen who delivered Aunt Imel into the guest of honor.
both were taken by Aunt Imel to the dining room.there are some typical snacks gorontalo, binthe biluhuta is corn soup sprinkled with grated coconut, chives, basil and onions.
"Well, my favorite." cried Callista with eyes wide happy.
Aunt Imel smiled flatly. "Please let Miss Mahreen taste this snack.This cuisine is the result of our milu garden."
Mahreen sat down followed by Callista, the girl staring at Aunt Imel. "Mamachka has a corn garden?" ask Mahreen.
"Not only that. Horticulture cultivation is a specialty of the Hamid family, which is the nuclear family of the Big Lady.he is the heir to the widest garden in Gorontalo. and the Hamid family garden has always been used as a pilot by the Gorontalo Provincial Government in the agrarian field." said Aunt Imel proudly.
"Well, I think Aunt Imel knows all too well about the Big Lady's family" Callista said.
Aunt Imel nodded proudly. "That's for sure.I've been with the Big Lady for ten years you know." the woman in black uniform and wearing a black uniform wrapped in an apron was bowing flat. "Please enjoy the dish.I'm behind to do other tasks.if Miss needs me, just press the bell in the middle of the table, I'll come." aunt Imel said, then leaned flat again and turned around to leave the dining room.
"Let's enjoy this." invite Callista with the spirit of scooping the flush milu into the dish. Beside the pan there are places of spices such as salt, vetsin, mashed chili and food vinegar. there was also soy sauce and ketchup. deftly, the girl then concocted the four flavours into a dish filled with watering milu.
Mahreen looked puzzledly at Callista.The girl realized that the Russian girl felt foreign to this food.
"Try. you'll know where it's delicious." take Callista with gusto. "Here, let me cook you."
Callista took an empty Mahreen plate and filled it with watering milu and then seasoned it. Mahreen pointed at the small jar containing mashed chilli.
"It's chilli, isn't it?" guess Mahreen.
"Yes, we call it rica here, everything that tastes spicy we call it rica" said Callista. "Lada, we call java rica, and many more." Callista pointed at the jar containing the mashed chilli. "You want to try it?"
"A little bit." pinta Mahreen.
Callista nodded and took a spoonful and mixed it into the dish.The plate was then handed over to Mahreen.
"Try it." said Callista.
Mahreen scooped the flush milu and tasted it. For a moment he nodded followed by ******spicy. Sweat seeds instantly filled his face.
"Sedges?" callista asked in surprise.
"Lumayan.." replied Mahreen blinking her eyes while enjoying the meal. "But it tastes rame.. There is salty, sour, sweet.anything is rame." commented Mahreen.
Callista smiled then picked up a large spoonful of mashed chilies and mixed them in his meal. Mahreen choked to see the girl mixing a large spoonful of mashed chilies into her food.
"You.." said Mahreen interrupted by his cough due to choking, "You... resistant spicy?" ask the girl in horror.
Callista smiled, "For the tongue of the Gorontaloan, the tip of your spoon was not spicy." the girl casually fed the flush milu to her mouth and a second later she muttered long with a smile and then sighed with pungency. "Mantaaap.." she teased Mahreen.
the Russian girl grimaced in horror at the thought of how a large spoonful of mashed chili was put into her food.Abviously, Mahreen could have thought the end was. he will faint pungency with a swollen stomach due to irritation of chillies containing capsaicin with the stomach wall.
while the two were enjoying the food, Haidar appeared who was still wearing official clothes.
"Hey, was enjoying the biluhuta binthe apparently." commented Haidar then sat beside Mahreen. "How does it feel?"
Callista looked at Haider. "Sir Chounan, have you come home? how's work?" the girl looked at her wrist that was wrapped around the watch. "It's not time to go home yet, is it?"
Haidar smiled flatly. "You are, when the streak is right, like vomiting mitraliyur alone." he said. "Where should I answer first?"
"Everything." said Callista.
Mahreen looked at Callista and smiled seductively. "You're very considerate of Brother Haidar. Kayak just married you with him."
Callista laughed, "Laseless Reen. It's a habit." Callista later, "He's been a big brother since childhood and we grew up together with the company of our parents."
"Oooo.." Mahreen's lips rounded and smiled and returned to feed her mouth with a flush milu.
Callista smiled, "Something seems jealous." he chirped and looked at Mahreen and Haidar alternately. "Well, I think I'm just going to be a mosquito repellent" he said, "I'd better get out of the way so that bilateral relations between two people are more friendly."
"Callista.." reprimanded Haidar quietly but full of pressure.The young man's face reddened in shame, caught harboring feelings.
Callista immediately got up. "Okay Reen, I'm saying yes? we will meet tomorrow at Campus II." the girl said goodbye and waved with a slow laugh and then turned to walk away from the dining room.
after Callista died, Haidar and Mahreen remained trapped in awkwardness. Haidar cursed himself who was not as comfortable as Haanish in dealing with women. The young man was indeed rigid and very disciplined.the women he knew were only his mother, Aunt Imel, Bik Inah and Callista. Besides, the only women he knew were his mother, Aunt Imel, Bik Inah and Callista, he never got along very seriously with any woman.
Mahreen tried to break the ice. he smiled. "Kak Haidar's job is done?" ask the girl.
"Just call me Chounan, or Chouji. It will be more convenient" said Haidar.
Mahreen nodded.he repeated his question. "Sir Chouji's coming home, is his job done?"
Haidar just smiled flatly.The young man sighed for a moment to eliminate his nervousness then replied. "I came to see you Mahreen." []
