Duren Mateng's
Chapter 23. Food for Rania
Rania is doing a morning run, taking advantage of her vacation time to exercise. The woman stopped at a stall, bought a bottle of water and then downed it for a few gulps.
"Freshly," the woman murmured.
"Mom, I took a short break, yes" said Rania asking permission from the shop owner.
"May, please son," said the shop's mother.
Rania also dropped her ass on the long chair in the stall. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with a small towel hanging around his neck.
Long enough Rania sat in that place while staring at the street.. After feeling enough, Rania also moved from her seat. The girl thanked the shop owner first before continuing her run.
Not felt, Rania also arrived in front of the multi-storey building which is where she lived. Rania boards the elevator, which leads herself to the unit she inhabits.
Tingg ....
The elevator opened, as Rania exited the narrow room, she saw a woman standing at the door of Rania's residence.
Rania knew the figure. None other than that woman is the mother of the man who is his neighbor.
Rania approached Arumi who was pressing the bell repeatedly.
"Extm ...." Rania cleared her throat, making Arumi startled and turned around to look at her.
"What's up, Auntie?" asked rania politely while commenting on her smile. Rania saw the woman in front of her carrying a bushel.
"This ah, Alvaro cooked this for you, but he did not dare to give it directly because he was embarrassed" said Arumi. The woman took the initiative to give breakfast to Rania and used Alvaro as her bait.
"Thank you, Auntie. I'm sorry but I kind of stink of sweat" Rania said as she received a parcel from Arumi.
"You are beautiful, you still smell good" praised Arumi who made Rania immediately blushed in shame.
"Oh yeah, where did Miss Isna go?" ask Arumi.
"Mama went back to Auntie's village" replied Rania.
Arumi nodded in understanding. " Yes, then take a shower and have breakfast. Hopefully the cuisine of Auntie children can fit on your tongue," said Arumi while chuckling.
Rania simply responded with a knotty smile. Then Arumi went back to Alvaro's house. Rania stared at Arumi's departure, thanking her for delivering breakfast. After Arumi disappeared from behind the door, Rania turned around and entered her house.
The girl looked closely at the bushel. The aroma from inside seemed appetizing, making the worm si in the stomach Rania asked to be filled at that moment.
"I'm not sure if he made this dish. I also can't believe that he took the initiative to give me this food" Rania murmured.
Rania's stomach rang again, making the girl immediately put her food on the table. "I'd better take a shower, then eat. Come on worms in the stomach, I hope you can be patient," said Rania monologue.
The girl went into her room, planning to take a shower. However, a short while later, he came back out and walked towards the kitchen.
"There is no harm in eating before taking a shower. My energy drained from exercising earlier, at least I need additional energy before walking to the bathroom," said Rania.
He opened the parcel. Rania saw a soup that was so appetizing. Without lingering, the woman immediately ate her food.
....
At the same time, Arumi chuckles after telling him that the soup made by Alvaro was given to the next door neighbor.
"Didn't you just say that soup is going to take you home?" ask Alvaro.
"Cock in the house a lot. If you want it, you can ask your aunt to make it, "toward Arumi with a laugh.
"Ma, but that's ...."
"There's no buts, Varo. Remember your agreement last night!" Arumi.
"But Alvaro replied that Alvaro would think about it, not just agree to it" Alvaro denied.
"Ssthtt ...." Arumi placed her index finger right in front of her son's mouth.
"For my mother, your words yesterday have been included in the list of agreements. Remember that! Mama hates people who break promises. From now on ...." Arumi tried to embrace her son's shoulder.
"Duh, it was not until," said Arumi, who immediately lowered her hand, choosing to embrace her son's back.
"From now on, you have to go after Rania. Take it easy, mama will help you pursue the love of your neighbor, the main mission begins." Arumi developed her sly smile, while Alvaro could only sigh at her parents. Added again with his only son who is very supportive of Arumi's actions.
That afternoon, after playing with the grandson for a long time and talking with his son, Arumi and Fahri decided to go home. If it lingers, he feels bad for Alvira who was left alone.
Bima waved her hand to her grandmother who was already in the car. Fahri started driving, taking the car back to the main house.
While in the main house, Alvira was gathering all the servants who worked in the house.
"About last night, let no one open their mouth or complain to mom and dad. If that happens, I won't hesitate to fire you!" alvira insisted on all the servants.
"Understand you!!" Alvira.
"Understand Miss" said the whole servant. They still pin Miss's call on Alvira even though the woman is married. However, Alvira remains the little girl they foster to this day. It's just that, lately the woman is often angry and has a little sensitive feelings.
"Alright, then you can go" said Alvira.
All the servants immediately disbanded from the ranks and resumed their pending work.
Alvira returned to her room. He sees himself in the mirror. The woman was surprised to see her eyes swollen from crying last night. Alvira immediately sat in front of her dressing table, applying makeup on her face so that swelling in her eye area is not clearly visible.
"I don't want my parents to know that my marriage is on the edge" muttered Alvira with her hands still rubbing makeup on her face.
When she finished, Alvira moved from her place. The woman took her foot to the window, seeing the car that was often driven by her father entering the yard of the house.
Alvira looked back at herself in the mirror before going down to see her parents. "It's better, it doesn't look swollen anymore" murmured Alvira.
The woman also came out of her room. Then down the stairs, to meet his parents.
