THE PEBINOR

Chapter 84 - THE PEBINOR

The next day, Arvin smiled as he saw Melisa was walking towards him. Yes, exactly not in his direction, but towards the vegetable maker who stopped near his house.

"Morning, Neng Mel.." Greet the mothers, Melisa just replied with her sweet smile.

"What are you cooking today, Mom?" Melisa asked with her sweet smile that made the mothers love Melisa, because she is a friendly figure and easily smiles. 

"Mother wants to cook tofu soup mixed with gambas, request the father of the children." Miss Amel replied with a small smile. Hearing that, for some reason his heart felt a little pained. Not because she has no husband, but the children say. Yes, she did want a child from her marriage to Dion, but until divorce she did not get pregnant either.

Maybe, God was close to Melisa because she had a husband like Dion, so she did not want to give him a child from Dion. 

"Why, Neng? Are your words offensive to you?" Ask Ms. Amel.

"Aahhhhh, ma'am." Melisa replied with a smile, but Arvin who in fact knew of the change in expression Melisa felt something was wrong with the woman. Unusual he immediately fell silent when he heard the words of others, if not the thing that hurt him.

"What cooking, Mel's mom?" Arvin's question to Melisa made the woman slightly raise her head to look at the handsome face of the man. 

"Still not knowing yet, confused about what to cook." Answer Melisa.

"Why not cook shrimp sweet sour sauce, mbak?" Arvin's Proposal.

"I'm kind of allergic to shrimp, my lips must be swollen." Answer Melisa.

"Wahh, seriously neng?" Ask Mrs Ratmi.

"Yes, Mom. I don't really like eating shrimp either."

"Well, if you're allergic, you're not gonna do it, neng." 

"But if you eat lobster anyway gapapa cake, although lobster is still a type of shrimp right? What's different?" Melisa asked while chuckling. 

"I think so, the same." 

"Yaudah, so what's it going to cook, Neng?" Ask the vegetable brother. Finally, he will cook only spicy ampella. Arvin also likes it, so make sure the man will eat at his house again. 

"Cabe cayenne's a quarter." 

"What's up yesterday, Neng?" Ask one of the mothers who looked astonished, because only yesterday the day after Melisa bought a quarter demon chili, but now it has been bought again.

"Exit, Mom. Kan in sambel, now stay a little more it sambelnya." Melisa replied, she glanced at the flash towards Arvin. Because that guy was the one who spent his squid sambel yesterday.

"Samble squid, right?"

"Yes, my favorite is to eat, hehe." Melisa replied with a small laugh.

"Pantesan, so now want to cook sambel ati ampela?"

"Yes, eating the same crackers is delicious." Answer the beautiful woman.

"Sambel Mbak Mel delicious there are not two of them." Chirps Arvin, making the center of attention of mothers are now focused on her.

"Why? The guy I like in love sambelnya same Mbak Mel, so know the taste of sambelnya." Answer Arvin as casually as possible. So that no one is suspicious, although maybe in their hearts they begin to suspect Arvin's behavior is quite suspicious. 

"Ohh, yes, yes."

"Jude, Bang. Ati ampelanya a quarter, chili also a quarter, tomato one ounce, onion leaves equally kencur. So how many?" Ask Melisa. 

"The total is forty thousand, Neng." 

"It's his money, bang." Melisa held out a hundred thousand dollars, but because her vegetable brother had no change so she returned the money to Melisa.

"There's no change, Neng. Just came out, no change yet."

"Well, how's dong?"

"Have me how many total, Bang?" Ask Arvin.

"The total is thirty-five thousand."

"Yaudah, this is the same money as Ma'am Mel's, his change take for Abang. Thanks bang, yes first." After giving the money, Arvin went home. He came in and closed the door. 

"Not yet to say thank you." Melisa Mumbled.

"Ciee, payin same mbeb huh, Neng?" Tempted Bu Amel while gently nudging Melisa's arm, making the woman's face flushed with embarrassment.

"What the hell, Mom? Not really."

"His face is blushing, ciee shy huh?" The mothers were increasingly aggressively teasing Melisa whose face was reddened like a boiled crab.

"Udahh ahh, the mothers love it." 

"Ehhh, by the way we try sambel made by you dong, Neng. Buy her intent." Said one of the mothers who was also shopping at the vegetable brother. 

"Yes, sell sambel. He said your sambel was good, right? Sell it, neng. That's a lot of income." Suul Bu Ratmi with a smile. 

"Should be in thought this first, not yet the capital yes."

"Ehhh yes, this is the arisan money that was not anther's mother, forgetfulness continues." Said Ms. Amel while opening her purse. Then give some money to Melisa. The remaining two million more arisan money belongs to Melisa who has not been given because it was borrowed first by Ms. Amel for her children's school fees in the city. 

"Thank you, Mom. I can forget this big money, hehe."

"I'm sorry, Neng. It's been a while."

"What the hell, Mom." Melisa replied with a sweet smile. 

"Well, the money is just use capital, neng." Other mothers' proposal. As if they were curious, what kind of sambel made by Melisa? To the extent that Arvin said that the sauce is delicious, because everyone knows that Arvin rarely gives the label of good food, although often of them share the food with him. But, only the sauce made by Melisa is said to be delicious by Arvin. Weird right?

"Let's think about it first."

"Yes, not for long. Curious about it."

"Well, I'll give you a tester first. If it's really good, just bought it." Melisa replied while chuckling.

"OK, will liwetan yuk?"

"Well, can you. Bring the sambel, will you?"

"Ohh, can. What time, Mom?" Ask Melisa.

"How about lunch?"

"Come, if I go home first. Want to finish cooking first, I'll go to Mom's house."

"Okay, I'm waiting for ya."

The mothers also disbanded from Abang greens, after finishing shopping of course. Melisa also went home to her house, but while in the kitchen she was made shocked when she saw who was already sitting on the chair while staring at her sharply.

"Lho, how are you here, Yang?"

"Well, just in the old greengrocer, hmm? My husband is a laper this." Said Arvin with her sharp gaze, making Melisa goosebumps instantly. He scratched his nape which though did not feel itchy in the slightest.

"Talk to moms, baby."

"Good, until you forget about time. Speaking what?" Ask Arvin again, making Melisa crybaby.

"Hmmm, so?"

"Just talk, baby. Don't be possessive of it, I'll be a gemes." Melisa's words make Arvin tickle. 

"Chat what? I asked."

"They ngusulin I make a sale sambel squid sambel ati ampelanya, but I still think first."

"If you are able, make it. If not, don't. After I get married, I won't ask you to do a job, let me do it." Arvin answered making Melisa smile, she is currently washing the ampoule she bought with clean running water. Not to forget, he added lime so as not to smell too fishy.

After quieting her for a few minutes, Melisa immediately boiled her. He also added lemongrass and bay leaves, to make it more fragrant. Arvin got up from his seat then hugged Melisa's waist while resting his chin on Melisa's shoulder spoiled.

"Why? Suddenly so spoiled gini, hmm? Is it because you're hungry, baby?" Ask Melisa. Arvin shook his head, I don't know if he wants to indulge with his current woman. His mood is very bad now, especially after hearing the news in the company.

"I'm tired.." Arvin complains with his soft voice.

"Raclut? You're too crazy to work anyway, so he's tired."

"Hmm, not because of work, Bby."

"Keep, because what?" Melisa asked without turning her head towards the man who was beside her.

"Capek can't be as affectionate as you, Bby." 

"Jeez, his looks are dreadful. I thought you were why, baby." Melisa pinched the wrath of Arvin's hand that was in her stomach, instead of her grimacing in pain, Arvin instead laughed. 

"Darling.."

"Yes, why?" Melisa asked, this time she looked at the handsome face of the man. 

"Tomorrow we go, I'll pick you up." Arvin said that Melisa's heart stopped beating right then and there.

"Hmmm, i-yes.."

"You still doubt?"

"E-eemm, little." Melisa replied, the look of a nervous face was clearly implied from her current face.

"Gapapa, there I am. Don't be afraid, I'll protect you, baby."

"Yes, baby."

"So, what can I do for you?" Ask Arvin.

"Split chili from the stalk, kayak yesterday. Keep chopping tomatoes with leeks."

"Okay, my dear." Arvin let go of his embrace and did as Melisa asked. The woman smiled, such a simple job alone was able to make her mood improve. No need to shop every day to make a woman's mood improve, this simple thing alone can make her mood improve. 

"Honey, it'll be noon mothers ngajakin liwetan." 

"Yaudah, join me."

"What was your lunch, yang?"

"I can eat alone, baby gapapa." 

"Really? Not angry at you?" Tanya Melisa makes Arvin squash himself.

"Yes, sweetheart. What the hell am I angry for? Like, I won't be able to get mad at a woman as adorable as you, baby."

"Jeez, all of a sudden I feel nauseous.." 

"Lho why? You weren't okay, Bby?" Arvin asked frantically, he was worried when Melisa said that she suddenly became nauseous.

"I'm sick of your crush, baby." 

"Haha, you're making me worry." Arvin said with a laugh. 

"Ohh yes, this is money from Ms. Amel. The rest of the gravestone that time, that." Melisa took the money out of her pants pocket and gave it to Arvin.

"Why do you love me, Bby?" Asked Arvin with a frown in wonder. 

"That's your money, all this time you've been paying for it."

"Buy it, buy jewelry. Or do you want to make small business capital? I want to sell sambel." Arvin's proposal makes Melisa feel a dilemma. He was confused, should the money he use to sell sambel only?

But, if he used the money to buy jewelry, he would continue to rely on Arvin and he wouldn't want that to happen. Not married yet, but Arvin has helped her a lot. Countless times the man took his time just to help her.

"Kok diem, why? Confused huh?" Asked Arvin, he understood the true meaning of Melisa's silence at this time.

"Hehe, yes.."

"Yaudah, if you try to do something. I will support you, baby. But, if you are still in doubt, you should keep the money first." 

"Yes, I thought about it. Will I be strong to make her sambel stock or not." Answer Melisa. He also began to cut the ati ampela into small pieces and then put it together with the chili that has been blended by Arvin. Yes, Arvin bought her a blender yesterday, because she felt unbearable when she saw Melisa had to stew her seasoning manually. It's gonna make his hands red and Arvin doesn't want that to happen.

"Yes, my dear."

Arvin came back closer, he hugged Melisa like that, although during the cooking show the sauce was colored by sneezing and coughing. But, Arvin was firm with his stance, he remained standing while hugging Melisa from behind. Although Melisa tried several times to rebel for the man to let go of his embrace, but the stubborn Arvin did not listen at all.

Once mature, both of their noses are flushed red due to too much sneezing. Arvin chuckles when he sees Melisa's reddened nose, he doesn't realize that her nose is just as red.

"Why laugh?"

"Your nose is red, Bby." Arvin replied, he still chuckled softly.

"Clear, don't realize what? Your nose is also red!" Ketus Melisa makes Arvin astonished, she takes a cell phone and glazes on her screen. Sure enough, his nose was also flushed.

"Haha, because of sambel ya.." 

"Yes, now we're eating yuk?" Invite Melisa, Arvin nodded and as usual the woman served Arvin first before herself.

Both of them also eat voraciously, even though the sauce feels very spicy but it actually adds to their appetite both, both of them are equally fond of spicy food, sambel is one of them.

When she finished, Melisa washed the dishes. Arvin also said goodbye, after finishing cleaning up Melisa was out of the house to live with her neighbors. Apparently, they had gathered at Bu Amel's house, the rice liwet was also cooked.

"Wahh, I'm late, aren't I? Sorry, hehe."

"Father, Neng. Here sit." Melisa nodded and sat down beside Ms. Ratmi.

"This is the squid sambel, cobain first yes. This one's sambel at his ampella." 

They began to eat and as a result, all the mothers who participated in the show praised the sambel made by Melisa which was very good.

"Other times, use pete, neng. It must be more steady, sell it. This must be a sale, guaranteed." Melisa smiled a little, like she was going to sell sambel only. With the money given by Ms. Amel this morning, he will make the first capital.
