"You're Leo, right?"
Someone approached Leo, Lea's sister who was waiting in line to get a pancake souffle at a sales stand.
"Yes, sorry who?" Leo asked the man.
"I'm Chika, you're Lea's sister right?"
Leo looked at the woman carefully.
"Yes" he answered later.
"I'm a friend of Leah's, an old friend." said the woman, smiling.
Leo himself is still a bit hesitant, considering that Lea has never had friends. Before he entered the university.
"Can we sit there?" ask Leo, pointing to a place.
"There's something I want to ask you" he continued.
Leo, who was a teenager, followed the desire of the woman, to sit in a park chair not far from where she had been waiting in line.
Leo is suspicious of the woman's confession, but he also wants to know who the woman really is.
"Sit down here." said the woman and landed her body on the bench, Leo followed and waited for what the woman meant.
"Are you married now?" ask Leo.
So Leo nodded, but remained in alert mode.
"A long time ago I didn't see him. How long has she been married?" ask the woman again.
"About one year." replied Leo.
"His husband does the businessman hear?"
Leo looked back at the woman for quite a while.
"Mmm, yes." she replied later.
"Can koq be?. Meet where the hell was it?"
Leo grew suspicious of the woman.
"Mmm, don't know." replied the teenager.
"You don't know yourself."
"No idea, how you going?" leo again.
"I'm busy at school, and that's Lea's personal business anyway. What the hell is going on?". Koq wanted to know so much about Lea's life. Why not ask the person directly?. He said temen."
The woman is silent now. He had thought that Leo was a plain teenager who was very easy to question. But it doesn't seem so.
"Mmm, would like to see you in person. But I think Lea's busy, hehehe."
"Not really, his friends often come to koq."
Leo broke the woman's argument, causing the woman to suddenly become very misbehaved.
"Eee, yes. I might be there sometime." said the woman with a laugh. But laughing was very forced. The consequences have been awkward with the situation.
"Yes, thanks for the time. I have to get food first."
The strange woman passed, while Leo himself had not yet had time to answer her words.

By dinner, still at Richard's.
"It should be here, Le. This new one."
Richard confirmed what he thought was wrong. She and Lea are cooking together in the kitchen. Earlier this morning Lea asked if Richard could cook or not.
This is because Richard and Daniel suddenly discuss the taste of Ellio's cuisine, in front of Ellio directly.
The housekeeper makes pancakes for breakfast. Instantly Daniel and Richard remembered the taste of Ellio's pancakes, which he had made before. They were joking that morning. But in between meroasting Ellio, Lea had asked questions.
"Daddy can cook it?"
"Well, you're dead" Ellio told Richard.
"Ye, you can cook" Richard said confidently.
"Evidence if you can, do not snack on doang." challenge Ellio fiercely.
"Ntar ate the malem, the cooked elo." continued the man later.
"Lea ntar you're going to cook me, make dinner."
That was the word Richard said that morning. Until tonight he and Lea had to dwell in the kitchen.
"What else is this?"
Leah did not understand the father's cooking. He is good at local cuisine, but this seems to be an international dish. Leah was afraid of being wrong again and just obeyed the instructions of her father.
"It's roasted first." said Richard handed the marinated meat to Lea.
So Lea put it in the oven. But Richard's tip also regulates temperature. Only he knows about the cooking.
"Why not cook the local one anyway well, let's not complicated." asked Lea on the sidelines preparing other ingredients.
"Well that's it, even dad can't if the local cuisine. I used to cook like ART. He knows how to mix the spices."
"There's me, there's me who's masakin." said Lea.
"Yes not so dong father's cuisine his name. But your cooking."
"Yes, hehe."
"Large head again Ellio. If you know you're cheating, don't use your own cooking."
Lea then laughed.
"You are like a little boy." he said later.
"Ellio yes, not dad." Richard defended himself.
"Just like, dad, too." said Lea again.
Richard laughed and they continued cooking.
"Where, can you not?"
Ellio suddenly comes across as a nuisance, like a judge on the show Mistersip uh MasterChef. He crossed his arms around his chest while looking down at Richard's ability.
"What's this?" sama later.
"Eh, Udinner. Don't underestimate my abilities. At least my cooking is not like your cooking that tastes ambiguous."
Richard sewot, but almost laughed. Ellio was actually just joking, but the fierce felt to be real.
"I'm not sure." said Ellio again.
Richard was upset and wanted to tease Ellio.
"Udah lo there, sana!. Before I get mocked in the clutches." Richard said.
While Lea was still laughing to see it all.
A few moments passed and everything was finished. Then they all sat down at the dinner table, with a menu of dishes made by Richard, who was assisted by Lea.
"Where can I cook?" ask Richard all of them.
"Lumayan delicious loh." said Daniel while enjoying the dish.
"Where's El?" ask Richard to Ellio.
"Ok koq, good." Ellio heartily admitted all that.
"But it's better for my cooking." he kept elevating himself.
Richard and Daniel looked at each other and they all laughed. Including his own Ellio.
"Oh yes El, the Wedding Organizer I've already made you."
Ellio stopped eating and looked at Daniel.
"I'm with Richard Payin too. So you just have to set a date when to get married."
Ellio was silent, there was a sense of haru that spread in the man's eyes. Although he himself can afford a wedding organizer at any cost. But something like this is a form of concern for his two friends, he and Marsha.
"No need to cry." ledek Richard later.
Ellio smiled, but both corners of his eyes looked wet.
"Thank you, bro." he said later.
"Cieee om Ellio get married."
Lea said that, making Ellio blush and they all laughed again.
