"Assalamu'alaikum," shouted a woman from the front of Jinan's house.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," said Jinan from inside the house.
Kink ... Kink ...
"Wait a minute."
Kink ... Kink ...
"Astaghfirullah," muttered Jinan who was getting upset.
Jinan ran towards the front door of her house to open the door to Ria who was visiting her house. Yes, Jinan knew it was Ria's voice. Since childhood they often play together, he clearly never forgot the voice of his friend.
And sure enough, after the door opened Ria was already standing in front of the door with her big smile.
"It's very impatient anyway.tap-tuk mulu, noisily know." Ria was just grinning the horse hearing Jinan nagging.
"Oh yes, your tumben is here early in the morning. Usually still sleeping" Jinan said when he saw the clock that still shows at seven in the morning.
"In order to accompany my dear sister, I was willing to get up early" Ria said, hugging Jinan's body as she walked towards the kitchen.
"Where's Baby Ayla, sister? You're awake yet?" asked Ria who did not see the figure of the little baby boy.
"Just went to sleep. Ayla slept fast last night, 4 o'clock just woke up, and now just sleeping again after Brother loves ASI."
Ria mangosteen alone with the words Jinan. After they reached the kitchen, Ria looked astonished to see the condition of Jinan's kitchen which was full of utensils and ingredients to make cakes.
"Sister still selling?" ask Jinan.
"Yes, someone asked to make three brownies. He said the request from his son who will come home from the service," said Jinan explained.
"Why does my sister accept it? I'll be married soon, brother. Why are they still selling?" ask Ria astonished.
"Udah is over," Jinan replied briefly.
"Good, Brother. For these two weeks we've been preparing for Brother Ardo's wedding. We're gonna be busy, brother. Indeed everything is done by the people of WO, but 'kan we also have to go to KUA, must fittings clothes, must check the location as well. Do you want to accept that clean? Later if there are decorations that are not in accordance with the wishes of Brother, how? It should be a good break at home while there are no activities, instead of selling like this," Ria's nagging at length.
Jinan smiled amusedly hearing Ria nagging. Actually Ardo had also reminded him when the man called him at six to not trade anymore, but because he had already received this order from two days earlier, he had already received it, or else he would have to do it until it was done. Although he had planned not to trade anymore, but he also did not want to cancel the order arbitrarily. For him, what he has promised must not be canceled without a reason that is so urgent.
After Jinan explained to Ria why she had received the order, Ria finally did not nag anymore. The woman even helped Jinan prepare the ingredients to make butter cream while Jinan made the final step on her brownie dough.
At 08:35 a.m., three brownie pans with grated chocolate toppings have now been completed. While waiting for the brownie to be taken by its owner, Jinan immediately prepared to take a bath before Ardo came to his house to register with the local KUA. While Ria is currently just waiting in Jinan's room with baby Ayla who was awakened an hour ago.
Thirty minutes passed, Jinan who was ready to leave but still had to wait for Ardo who had not come and also wait for the person who would take the brownies to his house. Not long after he waited, there was a roar of a car engine that stopped in front of Jinan's house. Jinan and Ria get out of the house to see who's coming. And it turns out that the figure of a middle-aged woman and a man in a uniform tentra who came out of the car.
Ria and Jinan still faithfully looked towards the two men until the two men walked over to Jinan and Ria.
"Assalamu'alaikum," said Jinan's two guests.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" said Jinan and Ria.
"Is this really the home of Nak Jinan who sells brownies?" ask a middle-aged woman.
"Yes, Mom. Did Mom order a cake with Jinan?" ask Jinan kindly.
"really. Is Mom's order done, son?"
"Thank God, ma'am. Wait a minute, Jinan get it. Come on in, Mom."
After seeing her two guests sitting on her living room sofa, Jinan immediately went to the kitchen to pick up the brownies that were ready to be brought by the owner. Ria who is still on the doorstep with baby Ayla was just silent while staring intensely at the man who came with the mothers. From the way the man looked at Jinan, Ria could see if the man in tentra had any interest in Jinan.
As Jinan walked out of the kitchen, Ria looked back at the man in the tentra shirt. And again, the man looked towards Jinan with a gaze that Ria was very familiar with. The gaze will be attracted to the opposite sex. Ria let it happen as long as the man did not harass Jinan or do anything that would harm Jinan.
After the transaction was completed and the two guests of Jinan were about to leave the house, along with the car that Ardo brought to the front of Jinan's house.
"Where is Jinan, Ri? Whose car is that?" asked Ardo after being two steps ahead of Ria.
Not yet Ria replied, the two guests Jinan and Jinan themselves who were in the house were already seen on the doorstep going out of the house. Ria put on her friendly face to the two guests as their views clashed.
"Thank you for the order with my sister, Mom," Ria said.
"Together, Son. Well, your son is very beautiful yes," said the mother when she saw Ayla in Ria's arms.
Ria just smiled while nodding her head without any intention to correct the words of the mother who said that Ayla was her child.
"Oh yeah Jinan, sometime if I want to order brownies again can, right?" ask the mothers to Jinan.
"Sorry Madam, it looks like Jinan will no longer be able to make cakes for you."
The mothers stared at the origin of the sound, which is where the sound came from Ardo. He frowned when he heard Ardo's English saying that Jinan could no longer make cakes for him.
"Why?" ask him to Ardo.
"Jinan will soon marry me, and he will never sell again because I don't want to see him exhausted."
The mothers stared in disbelief at what Ardo said. He shifted his gaze there was his son for a moment, then his gaze was fixed on Jinan who was smiling faintly towards him.
"Sorry, Mom. It looks like this is Jinan's last order. If you want, Jinan can write the recipe for you to make yourself at home," said Jinan was not happy.
"Eh, yes, it's okay Jinan. May your marriage be celebrated. I'm sorry if I bother you ahead of your happy day" the mothers said sincerely.
As soon as the two Jinan guests, Jinan went into the house to retrieve the files to be brought.
"Yesterday her ex-husband, now a foreign man. It seems that after getting married later, I will ask Jinan to make a face veil, ", Ardo said and managed to make Ria widen her eyes.
"Ah? Loots?"
"Yes. I don't like it when mine's seen like this by any man."
Yes, besides Ria, Ardo also noticed the familiar gaze of the man in the tentra dress to Jinan. He was a normal man, and he knew very well what that man's view meant.
Ria held back her laughter that wanted to explode. "Excessive," he murmured in Indonesian.
