I entered the house with an erratic heart. There is a bad feeling to Bian and Doni, they do not know each other just because Mama both forced to be in one car.
"I'm sorry to bother ☺"
"Doni, thank you for driving me and mama ☺"
I sent a green message to Doni and Bian and went to Dewo.
"Dewo, how is Bian at home?"
"Waiting for my sister." Dewo said casually as he poured a thick sweet chocolate over the avocado cut. He added a cheese grater as his topping.
"Waiting brother?"
"Yes from yesterday to Dewo brother where, when to go home, who to go with, how long?"
"Keep him home?"
"Yoi, Brother Bian accompanied and taught me the trick of taking good photos. Ntar said he wanted to come here again"
"Why are you familiar with Bian, is he the same age as big brother, where is Rio?." Actually I don't know exactly Bian's age because I just knew him. Unlike the Doni who is one class in Junior High. I know Doni and his parents.
"She's fun, I met her at Rian's house during a game. There's Rio too because Rio can't be Bian for long."
"Tuh Rio playing the game still remember the time. Same with you who should be called first."
"He would have to buy food for his parents who were again self-isolated."
"Oh, it's not healed yet"
"Not yet." I remember not helping the Rio family about this.
"Dewo bought some brownies at the Flower Bakery to send to Rio's parents' house".
"Not all the chicken noodles?"
"Did Rio's parents like it?"
"His mother likes it especially, whuiiih she is very loyal"
"If so you stop by Miepa then Flower Bakery and bring vitamins for Rio parents yes"
"Well, Dewo will tell Rio too, he's still at his brother's house"
"It's a snack for you"
"Makasih Kak Anggrek is the best, best brother.
"Ah you if you look at the money just say best brother, best"
"sister will be the only brother Dewo if there are two or three not necessarily get the best title"
"Dewoooooo"
My hand hanging in the air cancelled a pinch on Dewo's nose when I saw a reply from Doni.
"Together Orchids, I just arrived home. There's a greeting from Mama thanks for the avocado"
"Greetings come back Doni, how's your Mama doing?"
"Good Orchid, he's asking for your news"
"Tante still remembers me?"
"Yes Orchid if you have time to stop by in Miepa"
"Okay Doni, I'm waiting for Auntie's presence"
"I also dong, Nggrek awaited his presence".
"Hehey.. Yes Don".
" Bye Orchid, I take a shower first"
"Bye Don"

For three days I didn't sleep in the room, I picked up a banana doll and made a backrest in the bed. I open the device, edit photos with Mama and send them on social media.
My caption about being together with a mother where as the age of togetherness decreases. Busyness as an adult individual unwittingly cuts time with parents.
There was a notification of a green message when I opened a reply from Bian.
"Look easy, no trouble"
"Sorry to have to take my friend"
"Your friend, Nggrek?. It's good to be with Mama and you to your grandparents' house"
"We?? it just so happens that it can be the same 😏"
I stopped replying to Bian's message. Is he jealous? but that thought I put away. She must've just disliked being told to drive Doni.
"Yes by any chance yes, Bian heheee but so you're the one who dropped Doni off".
"Oh his name is Doni, I don't drive him home don't think it's okay"
"Haaah, so it was Doni..?"
"You really care Nggrek, he's a grown man can think of going home alone. I dropped it off at the intersection of your housing. I don't usually drive people I don't know"
I cussed, Doni means left a package of the same avocado cardboard in the intersection of housing. Instantly Danar's words again passed "Bian is not used to usher in a woman he just met"
It turns out that besides women, Bian also did not drive a man he did not know. There is also true considering the level of crime that often occurs with unknown people but Doni is also an acquaintance. Suppose my acquaintance is not an unknown person at all.
"Yes you're right Bian should be my responsibility anyway because he drove us earlier"
"Can't you take him home? you girl, Nggrek don't deserve to drive a guy home"
I'm greg with Bian. Yesterday, it was me and Dewo who drove him home.
"Yes I also could not drive him alone, It must be the same Dewo kayak you also when we drove home from Bukit Asri was the same Dewo even though I did not know you guys made a deal"
"I'm different, not the same. The night I went home, Nggrek"
"I'm going to miepa, booth and boutique again so I'm going home tonight".
"Not seen you but Dewo ".
"O************* lah"
I retaliated in a dongkol, Regret rejecting the arrival of Bian yunya in checkmate. Since Rio rarely went out, the intensity of Dewo and Bian meetings more often.
They get along together probably because Dewo doesn't have an older brother and Bian doesn't have a younger brother so they fit in with each other.

Today I got a report for pentol demand in frozen food packaging increased from it crossed my mind to add a variant of frozen food.
We are still cooking some merchandise in the kitchen Mama for now I have to have a special kitchen if I want to develop other businesses.
The house I was building did have a large enough yard I could build a kitchen later for the needs of other variants of Miepa but now I consider opening another branch of Miepa first because the house has not finished its construction.
I also began to routinely share since knowing Ari and Riko how long ago made me realize not routinely share the windfall.
Each Miepa Friday provides a package containing rice boxes complete with fruit, chicken noodles, lemon juice which is a new menu variation of Miepa and cakes. I put a small shelf in the Miepa parking lot for 20 of those packs.
Now I have three branches of Miepa. My busyness increases with some employees that I have to handle.
Natasha also suggests starting to seriously work on online sales. We have to pay a special admin for that. Natasha and I also started looking for tailors to create custom designs with our own brand.
Only the unyu booth held by Nando and Ina did not change. That was my first attempt.
My days are getting busy. I also still have to create content for youtube and social media needs. Luckily youtube is collaborating with Dewo. In her teens she had a lot of creative ideas that never ran out.
I began to think about setting up a special employee who handled it as a whole because it was impossible if all I was in control.
Today I was in Miepa when Adiwarna came again. It took me a few minutes to remember Adi, she seemed more content and mature than we had last met.
"How are the orchids?" He greeted me after ordering food.
"Good." I answered briefly.
"Your bunch opened a branch not far from our house"
"Oh yeah, why don't you stop by the deck of your house?"
Adicolor exhaled for a moment and then she looked at me before those lips spit out words. An expression I knew clearly appeared on Adi's face, He was upset and angry.
"I'm having a fight with Cahya." I hear this word. Does he realize that I don't need to hear.
"At what happens in your household is none of my business anymore and from today on matters concerning your personal relationship. I don't want to care." I moved in front of Adi.
"But Orchid, wait"
"It's all over Adi since you decided to marry Cahya. I'm not interested in what's going on in your household." I pointed towards this man. I saw him clenching his mouth tightly. I hurried to leave Adi. Just want to enter the kitchen space Miepa limited by the cashier table.
"Frog"
"What else!!!." I snapped with an annoyed voice and when I looked up Bian's face looked pias and his clear eyes looked disappointed looking at me. From his desk Adi looked at the interaction of me and Bian with an interested expression.
I rubbed my face guiltily at this tall man.
"I'm sorry Bian. You want me to make coffee and noodles?, I made my own you know not Bang Ipul and Rika"
My sweet smile put as much as possible, head on a little so that it looks calm. This style I imitate from Cahya. He often uses it as a way to ask for pity to do wrong. Moga succeeds if I use it, my prayers in my heart.
