" Excuse me sir. Would you like to have lunch outside or would you like me to order? " The clock shows it's lunch time. But his boss is still at home with the documents on his desk.
" You just buy Jo. But can not buy the pickled Bogor that borders Bogor." Jodi gaped at her boss's request. Actually this is not the first time Alvin asked for a strange food - strange.
If Alvin's home is made dizzy with his wife's wishes, in the office it is precisely Jodi who is dizzy with all kinds of wishes his boss who sometimes makes no sense.
" I used to buy Tania there. I think it's good.I'll send the address to you."
" Ta-but sir. Bogor is far away. " Of the many wishes Alvin wants to refuse, it seems this is what he is very reluctant to follow. Usually only strange foods that Jodi can still get in the Jakarta area. This is Bogor, lunch time anyway. I want to get here again at what time.
" You can have lunch before you go. All my pesenin gado - the same hodgepodge of orange juice in the cafeteria, love a lot of crackers." Jodi breathed a sigh of resignation. This is the fate of being subordinate, and this is the fate of serving men cravings.
" Good sir, I'll order you first. Excuse um. "
***
Shortly after Jodi left her room, the food she ordered was delivered to one of the office staff. Alvin stretched his muscles that felt stiff because he was too long down during work.
Get up to the couch where lunch is available. And that's when the phone rings, too. Smile fluffy in his lips when reading the name of the penelfon who turned out to be his wife.
" Hello darling.. " Meloadspeaker the phone and put it on the table to make it easier for him to eat.
" What else is mas? " Task his wife across the street.
" Other lunch. Have you eaten? kids on fussy, right? " A bribe of gado - gado into his mouth. Alvin cuddled his head as the delicious taste of gado - gado spread in his mouth.
" I ate a lot as usual. Kids can compromise this afternoon. Where do you eat the same? " The possessiveness of his wife is starting to act.
" Dikantor darling. By ourselves. "
" Where is Jodi? You in the cafeteria alone want to spread the charm??!! " Up an octave.
" Where could your husband spread the charm of the baby. I am the tomb in my room. " Make loving husband mode. Or is the husband afraid of the wife?
" Eat what?! " Out with a jutek.
" The grave of gado - gado. You want? I will go home later to buy it. "
" Mauu.. But the one with the cashew nuts is mas." His reply was enthusiastic with saliva on the tip of the tongue.
" huh? Cashew nut? find where yank is? " A moment gado - gadonya hard to swallow. Dilanda confusion should look for gado - gado with cashews where.
" Yes find dong mas!! so I can't, sokan want to answer all my requests!! " Rise up two octaves.
" L-yes baby. I will be home soon, I will find it. But don't sulk my dear dong.my love.my bidadiku. later our children sad. " Last move, Rayuan relented.
" Yes already. Watch out for not getting caught!! "
Tut. the phone was turned off before Alvin could answer.
Want to grumble fear of quality. I'm angry but baby. So all he could do was give in and be patient.

By three o'clock in the afternoon Jodi had just returned from his search for assinan where Alvin meant.
Jodi tells the officegirl to move the pickles to the plate before she delivers them to her boss.
" This is Jodi. " The female employee gave Jodi a plate of pickled and mineral water.
" Thank you mbak. " Take a tray and drive it to his superior's room.
" Wait on Jo. I eat them. " There's still a lot of work to be done by Jodi. But his superior orders are also his work.
Jodi sat on the sofa opposite Alvin. Sitting quietly watching Alvin who was eating the pickles he bought.
" It's not as good as I imagined Jo. You finished ya! " Just one bribe and Alvin doesn't like the taste.
" But sir. I had lunch earlier. " It's nothing - what. Jodi could have eaten two servings of lunch. The problem is that he does not like the sour pickling taste of vinegar on the strange fruits on his tongue.
" You usually eat a lot. Let's spend. I just want you to get one more meal after you finish eating! "
" It's not eaten, you tell me what else you're looking for.. " Crying Jodi in the heart.
Jodi swallowed her food with hard payang. Stomach fluid that rose into the throat with great difficulty he swallowed back.
Almost an hour Jodi can just finish the salt. " How long have you eaten it, rich girl! " Cibir Alvin who only responded to Jodi's bitter smile.
" You can buy me a gado - a gado that uses cashew nut seasoning for my wife. "
" Gado - gado cashew nuts? Buy where sir? "
" Where do I know. If you know, I bought it myself!! " Jodi was crying in her heart. Not married yet, but already have to serve the wishes of people who crave.
" Good sir. Later I ask the same mother who sells gado - gado in the cafeteria. " Jodi pampit out with a tray containing used saucer.
***
The cafeteria was empty. There are only a few kariawan who may be late for lunch because of their work. Jodi approached the mother - the mother who sold the gift - gado that he had bought this afternoon.
" lady. Gado - gadonya can use cashews not nuts replaced so. " Jodi said with a tired and parched face.
" Okay Jodi there is - there is only. Mom where there are cashews! " Jodi's shoulder went down to hear the mother's answer.
" Where should I buy dong ma'am? " It feels tired to go back and forth Bogor. He no longer has the energy to look for that unusual hodgepodge in all of Jakarta.
" How about if mas Jodi buy raw cashew nuts only in the front supermarket. Later mom fry and make gado - gadonya. " At once Jodi's eyes sparkled.
" Okay mom. I buy first. " The mother of the gado - gado known as Wati was until she shook her head to see Jodi running with spirit.
Soon Jodi was back with a bag of crackles containing cashews that were still raw and handed it to Ibu Wati.
" Who did you do it for? His boss cravings again? " Wati's mother does often serve strange orders Jodi said to her Boss who craves.
" Yes mom. But this time it's not for the boss. But for his wife."
" Well, Jodi doesn't want to find a wife? Let's not be repotined as cravings wife people continue. But it also feels like what a cravings wife is!! " Ibu Wati began to buy gado - gado seasoning with cashew nuts.
" No, not mom. The boss has made a headache, where much work has not been completed. Her request is getting weird every day. If my wife asks, can - can I be angry - angry. It's because of the boss that I am patient!! " Wati's mother chuckled with Jodi's grunts.
