THE HIDDEN MENTARY

MENTARY HABIT

Kenzo was confused to see what was happening in front of him.

"Who did you say he was a fan of?" Mama Ita asked, breaking the jokes of Andara, Karla and Amel.

"Yes, she's a fan of Mama Ita, but look at Ma, in her hands she just brought what you have." Andara explained as her hand pointed towards the package Kenzo was carrying.

"Oh sorry aunt, I didn't buy anything. Sorry this cake is just a little but do not look at the number of aunty, but the taste. Guaranteed to be very good aunt, surely aunty will be addicted to eating this cake. The shop's near aunty, it's in front of this estate. I know the owner of the aunt, my family often order in this store. It's really good anyway." Kenzo, who was aware of the direction of Andara's conversation, immediately handed over the package of cakes he had bought and had been reduced because it had been eaten by Andara and himself to Mama Ita.

Ita's mother who saw Kenzo speaking nervously and handed him a packet of cookies with the label name "Amelia", could only hold back her laughter.

"It's true, Mama's fan isn't it?" Andara nudged Mama Ita's arm.

Before long, there was the laughter of Karla and Amel who were very booming. Kenzo's face grew pale looking at their response. What the hell is wrong? Did they know there were only 5 cookies in this package? Less is it? Damn, there is no preparation. Inner Kenzo.

"Eh Ken, you said you knew the owner of the store, you really know?" Karla who was able to stop her laughter asked Kenzo.

"Hmm know how, I've been with my mom pesen cake to the owner's house." Kenzo replied.

"You sure you know Ken? Are you sure you've been to the owner's house?" Andara asked.

Kenzo hesitated. There was another loud laughter from the three friends. Until Mama Ita's voice stopped their laughter.

"Already, don't be flirted with it, Kasian. Makasi ya handsome, you have bothered to bring a hand for Mama. But you can take it home again, if less it can be taken in the warehouse, may take as much as you because you have become a loyal fan of Mama Ita and participate in the promotion of the cake."

Kenzo blinked his eyes many times. His face still looked confused and began to guess what was happening.

"She knows the owner, this is the owner in plain sight but is taken. Ask for a cake signature or a picture of it. Dad ah Kenzo." Amel quips.

"Yes seriously. I once participated in the cake pesen, production place and owner's house in Puri Kusuma housing. At the time, I was just waiting in the car." Kenzo tried to convince everyone.

Suddenly the laughter stopped. Everyone was silent, especially Amel.

"Yes, it was in Puri Kusuma where it was produced but now it is moving here. Udah ah time to chat in front of gini, enter just let's have a good chat, while eating the same cake tea will be more delicious, right?" Mama Ita who saw her son's response instantly melted the atmosphere.

"Yes Ma.." Andara, Karla and Amel compactly replied. Directly follow Mama Ita who will move into the house.

"Wait, what does Ma mean?" Kenzo had started following them calling his mother Amel Mama.

"So the shop in front has Mama Ita? So now the house and the production site are here? So Mama Ita made these delicious pastries? And Mama Ita her mother the three of them?" Kenzo is still trying to guess what happened.

Andara who saw Kenzo's bewildered face immediately grabbed Kenzo's cheeks and moved them left and right. Suddenly Andara clung her forehead to Kenzo's forehead and swiped her nose into Kenzo's nose. You're anxious to see Kenzo's response to not consciously do it.

Kenzo froze, Karla and Amel were shocked to open her mouth, Mama Ita smiled as she shook her head.

Karla instantly pulled Andara's arm, keeping Kenzo away. Kenzo was still silent, he was so shocked.

"God.. Aarrgh.." Andara who was aware of what he did, immediately ran into the house as soon as possible. He covered his face with his palm.

Mama Ita patted Kenzo on the shoulder, trying to resuscitate her. Amel who was still surprised could only look to the right and left, looking at your behavior and Kenzo's surprised face alternately.

"Ma, please call the doctor, I think Kenzo has a heart attack deh Ma. Here it feels not bad, the beat is uda to the whimper of the sound of horse legs when running. Please Ma, call the doctor, Kenzo wants a long life." Kenzo said while pointing at his chest.

Mama Ita smiled at the behavior of the teenage children in front of her. He immediately pulled Kenzo into the house. Karla and Amel followed behind them.

Inside the house, Andara hid in Amel's room. He was too embarrassed to confront Kenzo and his friends.

Aah shit, Dara what are you doing anyway, you could be like that Kenzo. Just as Vano you continue to. Duh shamefully. Inner Andara, condemning her stupidity.

"Bara let's get out. You can't keep hiding. Solve your problems, dear, or forever be misunderstood." Mama Ita came in and stroked Andara's long hair lovingly.

"Because of Ma." Andara acknowledged.

Mama Ita smiled soothingly. "It's more shameful that you don't finish it, baby."

Kenzo sat up tensely and did not touch anything in front of him. Though from the beginning, he was very interested in cakes made by Mama Ita.

"Eh baby, Andara. L'm.. L'm.. I want to know you. Uh.." Kenzo nervously said and instantly covered his mouth with his palm, noticing the word coming out of his mouth.

Everyone glared at Kenzo.

"Hm.. Mama Ita, Kenzo, excuse me to go home first. Kenzo wants to see a doctor first." Kenzo stood up to leave.

"You sick?" Andara asked, her face turned worried.

"Yes.. Uh not really." Kenzo answered nervously.

"This is yes if people fall in love, the brain is the same mouth so not in sync." Karla laughs softly.

"Everyone here, nobody goes home until Mama's cake is all gone." Finally Mama Ita gave her decision and followed by a nod of the teenagers' heads. Mama Ita went to the kitchen to get a drink.

Andara and Kenzo look really awkward. Karla and Amel look at them in turn.

"You guys until when to be inem-dieman kayak gini. Ntar long ago you guys I locked up in my room you know." Amel.

"Oke Mel, I agree. Tell me which room you are in. Dear, leave." Kenzo immediately stood up and drew Andara's hand.

"Basic pervert!!" Andara brushed off Kenzo's hand.

Kenzo finally sat down beside Andara, stroking the top of Andara's head and whispering, "not to be ashamed, I'm a twilight. Next time, yeah."

Andara's face immediately flushed. Chests rumbling. Why else is this my heart?? Andara's inner voice shouted.

The awkwardness between them melted away. Kenzo immediately took over the situation with his jokes. Andara is back as usual.

"Seriously, you can't be twins, right?" Kenzo asked with a curious face.

"Ken, you've been thinking about this?" Andara asked a question. Kenzo nodded.

"You know, can't see if our faces look like gini?" Karla chimed.

"Kids, Kenzo, don't do it anymore." Mama Ita came with a drink.

Kenzo fell silent, seemingly thinking about Mama Ita's words. Suddenly take the cake and read the name label on the wrapper.

"Amelia." He read the label of the name of the bakery Mama Ita.

"If you are twins, it should be the name of the shop AKA dong, Amel, Karla and Andara." Kenzo began to find a bright spot of his question.

"This is Mama Ita's shop, her name is Amelia. Mama Ita's son is Amel. You two just hitchhiked along for free cake doang. Just like me." Kenzo gives the answer to the riddle he has in his head while accusing Andara and Karla alternately.

Karla immediately threw the seat cushion that was behind her.

"Basic.." Andara mutters.

They spend a lot of time telling stories to get to know each other. The three friends tell how the beginning of their friendship and how the friendship was maintained until now. Kenzo felt that he had begun to be accepted in the Andara community. He also knew, Andara, Karla and Amel were not just schoolmates, they were more like brothers.

It doesn't feel like time is getting late. Kenzo returns, followed by Andara and Karla. Before returning home, Andara takes Karla first. Finally Kenzo decided to follow Andara and Karla came home first and just returned to his home. Their cars go hand in hand. Andara is escorted by Kenzo.

Upon arrival at the gate of Amel's house their car was inserted by a car that led to the office of Mama Ita. It looks like they are Mama Ita's consumers who are going to order the cake.

Kenzo watched closely the car that had just entered the courtyard of Amel's house. In a whisper he said softly, "it seems like the car is not foreign."

Then, he left the yard of Amel's house, following Andara's car in front of him.
