Butterfly In You
Chapter 53: Starts to Be Jealous

The hand that was brought by Nugie was served to a porcelain plate by Mutia's mother. While going back to the living room, Mutia's mother took her younger brother with her. Nugie does not refuse because she wants to meet Sofia.

Lilis and the two boys who were in the living room turned to Nugie, as the young man walked side by side with Mother Mutia. Sofia is the most happy of course. He rushed to hug his uncle.

"Om Nugie!"

"Sophy!" Nugie held his nephew high. Sofia added excitement. Laughs crisply as Nugie lifts it high for the second time.

"Mahaha ...."

Not to forget a kiss dear Nugie pinned on the cheek of the little boy. "How was school? The lesson is hard, isn't it?"

"No, Om. Today's most fun drawing lesson."

"Sofia what's the picture?"

"Picturing a carrot."

"What color carrots?"

"Orange!"

"Smart!"

Nugie lowered Sofia slowly, then turned to look at Nurbanu who was at home sitting in his original position while holding a Barbie doll. "Good day, Om."

"Yiang, Banu. Fun to play, huh?"

"Yes, Om."

"So what did Banu draw at school?"

"Picturing an apple, Om. I want to play too, don't I?"

"You dong!"

Nugie and Sofia approach Nurbanu. The young man did not hesitate to sit on the floor which was only covered with fur carpet. Take a moment to accompany the two girls to play. He and Lilis face each other. However, being unfamiliar, the two of them only threw each other a faint smile at a glance.

"Lis, meet! This is my little brother. Nugie's name," explained Mutia's mother after serving a plate of food that she had just brought. The woman then sat down next to Lilis.

Nugie and Lilis sat face to face again and shook hands with each other.

"Lilis" said Lilis with a soft speech.

"Nugie." The young man smiled and his smile was very sweet. Finished it, Nugie unshakably chatted with Lilis. "It's been a long time here, huh?"

"Not yet Mas Nugie, only about fifteen minutes."

"Yes, Gie. It was Sofia who asked Nurbanu to play at home because there was a Barbie doll that her Papa just bought yesterday" said Mutia's mother.

"Oh ...." Nugie nodded while giving a brief nod of understanding.

The three engaged in a light conversation long enough to not feel the time they spent already showing lunch time.

"Well, it's lunch time. Come on, we'll all eat together!" take Mutia's mother.

"Come, Lis. Don't hesitate!" nugie.

"All right then." Lilis reluctantly had to refuse, eventually choosing to agree. "Mom, I helped prepare the food, yeah."

"It's not necessary, Lis. Just sit here!" Mutia's mother was feeling uneasy.

"Ah, it's okay, Mom. I'm glad to do it."

Lilis is light-handed, no wonder many people like it. Mutia's mother felt bad if she had to refuse again.

"Alright, Lis. Come on, we're going to the kitchen!"

"Come, Mom!"

Lilis went to follow Mutia's mother into the kitchen. It also helps to serve a menu of food that is quite heavy on the dining table. Nugie stays in the living room to accompany Sofia and Nurbanu. After everything was ready to be served, everyone was enjoying the lunch quietly.

**

Because Nugie also wanted to return to his restaurant after lunch, Mutia's mother told the young man to take Lilis and Nurbanu home. Mother Mutia and Sofia's hand wave accompanied the departure of Nugie's car that drove from the yard of the house to the highway. Eventually exit the main gate and join another four-wheeled vehicle on the body of the road.

Once Lilis turned to Nurbanu who was sitting in the cabin behind the car while looking at the view around the highway that looks from the window glass. Lilis smiled faintly, feeling lucky to have a kind foster child like Nurbanu.

"Banu, tired of not?"

Nurbanu. "Yes, Brother. Banu sleepy."

"Let's get home, take a nap, yeah! We'll be here any minute, okay." Lilis entertaining.

"Yes, Brother." Banu immediately answered excitedly, happy when he knew he would soon arrive at his house.

Nugie who was driving the car listened to their conversation.

"By the way you're a native here huh, Lis?" asked the young man already getting familiar with Lilis.

"No, Mas. I used to live in Banyuwangi because of my hometown from there. But it has been almost a year to wander to Bali," replied Lilis, as it were.

"Continue meeting a soul mate, now settle here?"

"Yes, Mum." Lilis blushing, shy.

"Eum .. 22 years. How much is it yourself?"

"I'm 25 years old."

"It must be a girlfriend!" Lilis joking.

"Not yet, Lis." Nugie shook his head a few times. "Busy with the job of taking care of the restaurant."

It's almost impossible for a young man as sweet as Nugie to have no girlfriend. Especially at a fairly productive age, but Lilis does not want to think too far. Just take the young man's answer.

"Well, what a role model! At a young age, they have been in business and run their own restaurant. By the way, what restaurant is it, Mas?"

"Seafood restaurant. Come once in a while to my restaurant! Take Banu and your husband, too" Nugie added.

"Yes, Mas. Where is the restaurant?"

"At Canggu. The name of the restaurant is Delicious Seafood."

"Well, I'll stop by sometime."

Lilis and Nugie throw each other smiles.

**

A few moments passed. Lilis stood opposite Nugie beside the body of the car upon their arrival in the courtyard. While Nurbanu had entered the house first when Mbok Tum picked him up.

"Thank you, Mom. It has taken us home. Yuk, Mum. Get inside first!"

Nugie took a quick look at the house Lilis was referring to. "Yes Lis, thank you. Next time I stop by, you have to go to the restaurant."

Lilis understood. "Be careful on the road, ma'am."

"Hmmm...." Thought and nodded briefly. "I'm leaving now, yeah!"

"Yes, Mum."

Nugie got back in his car and then controlled the car to turn around before driving down the highway. Lilis is still faithfully waiting in the courtyard until Nugie's car disappears from view.

Unexpectedly, Shehan who also returned home this afternoon because there was a document he wanted to take from his study, saw the togetherness of Lilis and Nugie from the living room window since. As soon as Lilis got inside the house, Shehan immediately confronted her with bullying questions.

"Who was that?"

"Eh, Mum. How come it's here? Don't you work in an office?" Lilis is shocked to find out that Shehan is home.

"I came home because I had documents I wanted to take."

"Such ...."

"Who brought you back?"

"Oh .. The man was Nugie, Mas" Lilis calmly explained.

"You said you went to Mutia's mother's house, why when you came home and brought a man?" Shehan interrogates like a cop.

"Nugie is Mutia's mother's sister, Mas. He also went to his restaurant. So they were told to take me and Nurbanu with Mutia's mother."

"You guys knew each other before?"

"No, Mas. Just met this time."

"Newly met, already familiar?"

"Just have a normal conversation, Mom."

"Ordinary talk, anything?"

Lilis was astonished to respond to Shehan's suddenly possessive attitude like this.

"So I told you to stop by the house first. But his Mas Nugie won't take care of the restaurant."

"You told him to come into the house?"

"Yes, Mum."

"Next time ask my permission first if you want to invite other men into this house."

"Well!" Lilis. It is not that the man also did not ask for his permission when bringing another woman to stay at home. However, Lilis was indeed a submissive woman like Shehan's guess. She could not argue with her husband. "Alright, Mas. Next time, excuse me."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Mas has lunch? Shall I prepare?"

"Before I come here I have lunch. Now go to the office again."

"Be careful on the road, ma'am."

Lilis walked after Shehan in the back. She took her husband away to the office again.
