"Firda.." there was a loud voice Ummi his Firda that made Firda sigh what else when he heard the next command "Belikan sugar with eggs, do not play hp continue!"
"Yes, Ummi..." Firda said in a loud voice but did not immediately approach his Ummi, now he just crouched down and said "Oh, dear. Have you eaten yet? Shower too? What else, hm? I'm leaving first yeah, before your grandma gets mad when she runs out of eggs and sugar. Later you will not get rations to eat" said Firda softly.
"For a long time Ummi slaughtered your cat, Fir..." exclaimed the mother who approached Firda because her daughter did not also come when she called her and now Firda was busy talking to her beloved cat.
"Oh Allah, Ummi... Sin, Ummi. Sin....." exclaimed Firda exasperated while standing facing his Ummi "Yes already, where's the money?" ask her again.
"Buy two kilos of sugar, buy one kilo eggs" said the mother while handing over the money and Firda immediately counted.
"Sugar 2 kilos, 24 thousand. Eggs one kilo 20 thousand. Lah, how is the money fitting, Ummi?" ask Firda pouting "Where's the fuck?" firda asked while raising her hand, while her lips now displayed a sweet-ass smile that made her mother look away. He also took out one twenty thousand bills
"Ongkos mu worth a full egg" said the irritated mother who was only repaid by Firda.
"Ummi, what's Ciu Ciu's dinner menu?" ask Firda while taking her pashmina.
"There are the rest of the fish bones earlier" replied Firda's mother who returned to make Firda frown.
"Love his meat is also dong, Ummi. Let there be nutrition, Kasian Ciu Ciu" said Firda while the mother was reluctant to listen to him and he immediately gawked away.
"Ciu Liu... Come on, wanna get involved?" firda exclaimed and immediately the thick white-haired male cat immediately ran to follow Firda, making Firda laugh amusedly and he ran. Ciu Ciu also ran faster to be able to reach his employer.

"Later in the evening I'll fly to Switzerland" John said as he checked every corner of the house "And if you meet someone here, don't use your real name, Mr. Gabriel. Look for nicknames, as always"
"I'm interested to walk the street in this village" Gabriel said, ignoring John's warning, he immediately took his jacket and shoes and put them on.
"Don't get too close to the villagers, if anyone asks just tell me you're the family of Mansur's wife from Jakarta. The house you occupy is Mansur's house, one of the employees in your company" said John again and he immediately followed Gabriel who stepped wide out of his house. And again, Gabriel seemed not to listen to John.
Gabriel and John walk aimlessly, because Gabriel just wants to feel the atmosphere of the village that has now entered the afternoon.
The atmosphere was so peaceful and calm, the sun was no longer stinging like it was this afternoon. The wind was so cool and the orange sky looked very beautiful.
Gabriel looked up and looked up at the sky of the village "Wherever we are, we look up at the same sky. But why does the sky I'm looking at from here look so different?"
"Ciu Liu... I'll catch you." exclaimed the little girl.
"The sound is still the same, I remember it clearly"
Gabriel frowned confusedly as he saw a tiny cat running towards him, and now Gabriel understood, it turned out that the girl was chasing after this cat.
Gabriel crouched down and immediately caught the cat that was about to pass him. And it certainly made the cat owner stop right in front of Gabriel.
Firda, the girl stared fixedly at a man who caught her Ciu Ciu. Firda watched the familiar face closely, even he tilted his head to the right and to the left so seriously he looked at the man. While this man in front of her could only resist the amused smile of looking at Firda's adorable demeanor, what else was that gaze so funny as to look at Gabriel.
"Sorry, Om. That's Firda's cat." exclaimed Firda later because he could not remember who the man in front of him was "Here, Ciu Ciu Darling..."said Firda stretched her arms out like she was going to hold a baby. And the cat immediately wriggled down from Gabriel's hand, making Gabriel feel astonished and amazed.
"So her name is Ciu Ciu?" gabriel asked with a heavy voice.
"Yes" replied Firda who has now carried Ciu Ciu.
"Is your cat of Chinese descent?" gabriel asked again which immediately made Firda laugh, and Gabriel felt stunned to see the laughter that made Firda more beautiful.
"No, Om. Just because she is very sweet, cute, adorable, so it fits in very well with the name Ciu Ciu.." replied Firda with a big smile. Gabriel also smiled, as if Firda's smile was so contagious "Okey, we'll excuse you. Bye Om.." cried Firda again but Gabriel immediately stopped Firda's departure.
"Wait.." cried Gabriel and he stepped wide blocking the path of Firda "I'm Gabriel, Gabriel Emerson" Gabriel said as he reached out his hand. John who had just been standing behind Gabriel could only sigh heavily, but only a few minutes ago John warned Gabriel to hide his identity, and now he's introduced his full name.
Firda looked back at Gabriel fixedly "I think Firda had seen Om deh, but where yaaa" murmured Firda who made Gabriel to smile.
"Have a weak memory apparently"
"I'm Firda, Om. And this, Ciu Ciu." said Firda later and instead welcomed Gabriel's hand with his cat's paw. It made Gabriel glare in surprise from fear at the claws, but apparently the cat was as sweet as its owner.
"Hai Ciu Ciu." said Gabriel who was still shaking hands with Ciu Ciu's feet.
"Yes, we go first, Om Gabriel" cried Firda and without waiting for a reply from Gabriel he immediately left.
