That afternoon was like the days before Ardi picked Ella up at the puskesmas at lunchtime to take her out filling her belly. Some health officials were astonished at how Ella could suddenly be close to the boss of the handsome and tyrannical Pradana Construction. They thought Ella and Ardi were close because of a work accident the other day.
Not infrequently nurses and midwives tease Ella and kepo about his relationship with the handsome sultan. And Ella was too lazy to clarify the truth about her relationship with Ardi. Just let his coworkers gossip and imagine as they like about his relationship with Ardi. Well at least they still really think Ella's boyfriend Ardi hehe
"What are you eating today?" Ask Ardi while driving his car. Ella did not reply and instead read the thick book in front of her. Remembering what he had read with kamit.
"Els? Hello any body there?" Said Ardi began to be upset because of being questioned.
(*Hallo's there?)
"Tomorrow my test! Gotta learn!" Ella protested back to Ardi who disrupted the rote process in her brain.
"OK, okay. What's tomorrow's material?"
"TPA equals TOEFL," replied Ella.
"TA? The Final dump? Dumpster donk" Goda Ardi while giggling.
"Have a son! Academic Potential Test." Ella sewot's.
"I can help the TOEFL. Let's talk in english. Englis slank can also hahaha." Indeed, according to Ella, Ardi should have topnotch English skills. How not papanya aja bule native foreign imports and talking of indo-english mixture that.
(*Come speak English)
"Ah sure. That's a great idea." Ella is now excited to get an interlocutor to practice her English. The calculation for the English interview test practice is also good.
(*Ah certainly. That's a very good idea)
"So Mr's. Ardi, Where do you want to take me?"
(*So Mr Ardi, where do you want to take me?)
"To have a lunch together. Maybe we can go to a cafe or restaurant?"
(*for lunch. Maybe we can go to a cafe or a restaurant?)
"Wow. I'm glad to hear that. thank you."
(*wow. I'm glad to hear it. thanks)
"You know what?...My tongue has been sprained for a long time, Wahahaha" Ardi laughed and realized that they were talking about daritadi.
(*you know?.)
"Not that bad actually. We just need more practices." Ella keasasi speaking english.
(*Not that bad. We just need more training)
"So would you like to eat Rujak cingur for our lunch? I promise you that this will be the best Rujak cingur you ever tasted." Ardi offered as they were about to pass by a street-side Rujak stall.
(*So do you want to eat rujak cingur for lunch? I promise this will definitely be the most beautiful song you have ever felt).
"Sure. Why not?" Ella did not refuse.
(*Sure. Why no?).
Ardi turned and parked his car in front of a small shop that sold rojak cingur. Although the stall was small, but the substituted inside the stall quite a lot also turned out. No doubt it seems about the quality of this cingur rujak from the many customers who are willing to queue there.
"What do you want to drink?" Tanya Ardi still pretentious-English.
(*What are you drinking?).
"Hmmm iced tea," Ella answered briefly.
"Mam, I would like to order two plates of rujak cingur and two glasses of iced tea." With the dodolnya Ardi the release of food pesen to the mothers of rujak sellers still use English. The mother immediately bengong, for most of the customers who were present there joined in the audience shocked to hear Ardi's words. These local bule stray from nowhere, that's their inner times.
(*I pesen two dishes of cingur rujak and two glasses of iced tea).
"Hahahaha So stupid" Ella laughs at Ardi's stupidity. "Pesen rujak cingur two bu, same iced tea two." Ella repeated their order to the seller's mother with the language of the planet she could understand.
(*hahahaha really stupid).
"Owalah Ma'am, pesen ngunu to. Just be surprised." Si Ibuk nagged while continuing to review his tongue. Ella and Ardi and some of the buyers giggled to hear the nagging of the seller's mother.
"So I keep thinking. What's cingur's english?" Chirps Ardi is still sotoy.
"Hmmm...cow's mouth skin?" Ella tried to answer and guess.
(*hmmm...cow mouth skin?)
"Duh long really. Ugly again the horror hehe. Dah mending tatep cingur aja deh." Ardi doesn't like the English version of cingur.
"Eh mas bule kalo can speak Indonesian, the food pesenanya use indo aja mas" said the mother to Ardi while handing two dishes and two glasses of iced tea their order.
"Heluk, mas burene iso boso alusan instead." Ibuk was so shocked and succeeded in making everyone present at the stall laugh. Really cool entertainment during this hot day. And again the possibility of this crisp guyonan comes from Ardi who is usually always cool.
"Eh, did you say when was your PPDS exam?" Ardi reconfirmed Ella's exam schedule. "Where is the exam?"
"Tomorrow. Campus A Uner." Ella replied leisurely as she devoured a spoonful of her curd.
"Uncle? Surabaya's? And you still are
here now?" Even Ardi was panicking.
"Later in the afternoon to Surabayanya with ama Roni ride in his car."
"Whataa? Same hello?" Ardi's voice is rising.
"Roni, who else?...He also took the exam. It's all together." Ella answered casually as if she had no sin.
"Can't. No, it can't be the same Roni."
"If not the same Roni I ride what? The train also has no schedule to Surabaya at this hour. If you get on the bus you'll get drunk." Ella try whining.
"Why didn't you talk about the same me before? I can schedule my schedule for you!" Ardi was unshakable by Ella's whimper.
"Kan Mas Ardi has been busy lately. It's not good to take ngerepotin."
"I told you, you can depend on me. You can ask me for help or count on me. Don't all break up and take care of yourself." Ardi reminded.
"What's wrong with that? Roni all the way. We also will not do anything for sure. How complicated?" Ella protested.
"Si Roni jerk it looks very much from the look he likes you. I don't like him...Seven hours you'll be together as a car as him? I'm not willing!"
"Certainly? Is Ardi able to do anything?"
"No."
"Jaudah, don't have to protest that much." Ella was completely incestuous now with Ardi's actions banning her for no rational reason.
"I can have my driver anterin you! No need to ask that son of a bitch for help!"
"Huh?" Ella's really speechless now. Didn't expect Ardi to be that hateful as Roni. Or is he jealous of Roni? Duh time si? just-there's. Though clearly he and Roni never do anything strange and exceed the limits of friendship.
"But it will take a lot of people..."
"No need to buts." Ardi cut Ella's talk. "You just choose what car to drive. Want the red one, the black one or the Apv of the office car too"
Ella fell silent at last not daring to argue anymore. Ardi seems really serious not to allow him to nebeng same Roni. Ella went on to eat her ginger root in silence. While Ardi pulled out his phone and contacted someone there.
"Hallo Cindy, you find one driver who stands by today. I need to make anther something to Surabaya. Imedietly, three o'clock in the afternoon should be ready." Ardi talks to Cindy from her phone.
"Hmmm Anwar, Hasan, same Joni who availabble? Which is the most senior and patient?"
"OK on that. Tell Hasan. Then tell me to immediately step into my room at the office at two o'clock. Oiya all you have told him to take my black car at home huh" Ardi decided and gave the order.
"Fines. Thanx is." Ardi hung up his phone call with Cindy.
"Udah. Later at three o'clock you will be picked up with my driver in rented. Going up the red or the black? Black is about long distance. Be comfortable and you don't mabok. Bounce on people later if you're drunk." Ardi gave Ella a report. With his indifference the man returned to eating his curry.
"Thank you mas. Ardi is so good with me." Ella really does not know what to say let alone face Ardi's behavior. The Sultan, if he wishes, will be difficult to dispute.
Inevitably Ella also felt happy and moved to also receive protective treatment from Ardi. How Ardi cared about her. How Ardi wants to make her feel comfortable. So the driver chosen is also the most senior and patient? Is Ardi jealous of his own driver? Ckckck really did this Sultan.
"Abisin. After this I'm straight back home to get ready." Ardi's next command to Ella.
Both of them finished their chirping quickly after that. They hurried to leave the stall after paying the bill. Get back in the car and slide back across the asphalt. Ardi next turns his car into a twenty-four-hour convenience store and takes Ella down.
"Buy all your supplies make the trip." Said Ardi when they were already in the store. No matter the protest from Ella. With his cue he took anti-sickness drugs, tisue, candy, plastic bags, eucalyptus oil, some bread, some bottles of vitamin c drinks and some bottles of mineral water. "What else is lacking?" Ardi asked while showing the contents of his shopping cart to Ella.
"The complete body is like an elementary school supplies for a picnic." Ella giggles. He returned speechless to receive Ardi's treatment. Ardi just laughed lightly at Ella's reply. Take her shopping cart to the cashier and pay for everything.
"Not to be like that too, mas. I can buy my own, take care of my own needs." Ella protested as they returned to the car. Back to the puskesmas.
"Sign up as an apology for not being able to get you." Answer Ardi.
See? Ardi was as good and attentive as that to Ella. How could Ella break free from the bondage of Ardi's love try if I'm kayak gini? Where willing...
But Ella had also rounded up her resolve. He still will not give up also to reach his goals as high as the sky. Fight for his fate to be able to continue a career and study. The more languishing and dilemma it becomes...
