When Love Only Remains a Name

Dinner at Elsa's House

*Naila*

I woke up at 5 p.m. I'll go take a shower soon. Thankfully today I am coming to the Moon again so I have no dependents whatsoever. After bathing in clothes, I immediately went outside to get some fresh air. I did not forget to give permission to the mother. There I walked as far as possible. I walked here without knowing the purpose. All I had in mind was to find some fresh air to refresh my brain.

At home I was so bored, I wanted to help with my mother's work but my mother wouldn't let me. Wanting to play with non Elsa but Non Elsa since coming home from college did not come out of her room even when the mother called to eat, Non Elsa instead said that she did not have appetite. I was really confused by what was in his brain. When I first met, non Elsa was like seeing a ghost even I said no answer just smile a little while nodding my head. I don't know what happened to him, I think he has a burden.

As Naila crosses a field, Naila sees a night market. Because this is still at 6 pm so people still have not much to come let alone be afraid that the Maghrib adhan will reverberate so people must be busy preparing themselves for the maghrib prayer. While waiting for people to come, Naila tried some games. Fortunately Naila still had a little money so she could play with satisfaction. Exactly at half-time seven, Naila also immediately went home because she did not want her bundle to worry even though she had permission but still if the exit is too long it will certainly make the mother panic and worry especially not bring her cellphone.

When he got to the front of Elsa's house, Naila saw a luxury car parked in the yard of Elsa's house. Naila was amazed to see the car but Naila tried to ignore it. Naila immediately went into the kitchen through the side street of the house. Once in the kitchen, he saw his mother cooking.

"Bun, why is the cooking so much?" ask Naila.

"Because Non Elsa has a special guest."

"Who? Must be non Elsa's boyfriend, huh?" guess Naila.

"No. They still haven't dated. After mother, non Elsa did love the man, it's just that the man had not opened his heart because he still loved his late wife."

"Oh so that guy's a widower huh?" ask Naila.

"Yes that's how it is."

"Mother doesn't know the man's face yet?"

"Oh that. Ribet amet ya bun their love story."

"Yes, their story is a little complicated. Oh yes you help mommy yes prepare the food because Non Elsa asked quickly because they will leave soon."

"Oke bun."

Naila helped her mother with pleasure. After almost 15 minutes, all the dishes were on the table. Naila immediately went to the room while Bi Inah approached non Elsa.

"Non, the food's ready." Bi Inah.

"Yes bi, aunty can go to the room. Let Elsa and Taufiq go straight to the dinner table. When you're done, auntie can come out to clean the room."

"Every non." Bi Inah. He immediately went after Naila who was already in the room while Elsa invited Taufiq to dinner at her house.

"Why are you still telling him to cook. We're going to my friend's wedding. There we must be in the feeding." Taufiq.

"But I want to eat with you. If at the party we can't eat like this."

"All right, it's up to you." Taufiq. They also enjoy dishes cooked by Bi Inah and Naila.

"Hopefully Naila doesn't come out of the room." Elsa said in her heart. Somehow Elsa was really afraid that Taufiq would see Naila in her house.
