"The problem is that only he can make the cake and bread, if replaced by people other than the drought fails" Diana sighed rudely.


Diana took the basket and then picked out her favorite products.


"Which, I went to the counter first huh" Rangga patted his wife's shoulder.


"Yes Mas"


They split up, Rangga wants to keep buying pulses.


"Sister Anisa, sister Anisa. Look, this is a nice doll, huh?" Jenita shows the doll she likes to Anisa.


"Yes, but I don't like dolls, I love being cute when I live that." Nisa cringed the child's coffers if frightened.


"Ah brother! where there's a living doll." Jenita gurgles wonder.


Anisa looked around at the other products lifting up and then put them back down.


Then Jenita, still looking at the rabbit doll that was as big as her own body. Red-eyed doll, black mustache, long ears, pure white. Jeni then smiled anxiously spontaneously kissed the doll packed in plastic.


"Haii... looking for what?"


The heavy voice surprised Jeni. Jenita looked up, looking at the handsome, tall man, the two different people of the century looked at each other. Deg. A man's heart beats, and so does Jeni.


Jeni inched backwards, with the doll still in her arms. Jeni raised the doll to cover half her face.


The handsome man crouched down in front of Jeni. "Haiii. don't be afraid" he said later, removing the doll that covered one eyeball Indah Jenita.


Jenita fluttered to let the man touch her reddish-white cheeks.


"You want to buy a doll?" the man smiled.


Seeing the man smiling kindly, Jenita returned a smile.


"Yes, but said mother later, if you already have a windfall" Jeni honest.


"Where's your mother?" the man dressed in a shirt and pants squinted around, looking for a woman called Jeni.


"Mother is not coming"


The man frowned. "What kind of mother? who would let his son go to the Mall by himself?"


"My mother is sick again Om" Jenita seemed to know what the man was thinking.


"Oh so... keep going... Who are you here with?" the man propped up his chin looking at Jenita.


"Sama bude, pick the vegetables over there."


"Yes already. Come with Om the cashier. I'm gonna buy you this doll." The man led Jeni.


"No way, said my mother can not ask for, can not accept the gift of unknown people." Jeni imitated the Kartika message.


"Right said your mother, but... You are the same Om already acquaintance right? come on" didn't lose her mind the man persuaded Jenita.


Buffalo tub on his nose, Jeni wants to be carried by the man to the cashier. On the way Jeni glanced at the ice cream, the man was sensitive. "Want to?"
