GENK DUDA ACUTE
68. Lunch Together

“Mi .. how do you prepare your lunch?” rio asked, approaching Jenni who was busy arranging the menu.

“Udah done, really. Stay alone,” replied Jenni. “The Sky has returned from Bandung? Yesterday Papi said he was in Bandung.” He was standing next to a housekeeper who stuck a side dish at him.

“Re-back yesterday. Today at the office, that's why I have lunch here.” Rio pulled the chair and looked at the expanse of side dishes on the table. “Rarely in gini day ngantor we four can have lunch together. And his lunch at home.” He was satisfied with the menu for his friends.

“How's that? So then? What concept?” ask Jenni.

“Concept? What, huh? Just have a normal conversation. Every month or two. Dean said it could be once a month. Don't be frequent,” said Rio, grimacing at his wife.

“Rewel really, deh. Arisan doang has many conditions. Does each exit permit have to be a proposal?” ask Jenni, chuckle.

“Kalo is needed, make a proposal in the form of a powerpoint slide. Every time you go, send it to Dean. Let him relax a little. Wonderful about the same kid. Fortunately his wife was calm. Kalo kayak Mami—" Rio then laughed imagining Dean's hassles about Winarsih being allowed into the group.

“Kalo Dean's wife kayak me? I don't think she'll spend three months in her household. My activities are many outside.” Jenni stared at the expanse of the table with a satisfied look. “Udah done, Pi. Call them, ask where they are. Cold games are not good anymore,” said Jenni.

“OK, I'm calling Toni first.” Rio reached for the phone in his pants pocket. Just twice the tone of the grill, Toni immediately answered the phone. “Ton, where are you? You didn't bring Wulan, did you? We want to talk about our plan—oh, okay. Beres is that. Lo ama who? Just the two with Ifa? Siip ... I wait.” Rio then re-scrolled the screen of his phone looking for Dean's name.

“Halo? De's? Where?” ask Rio.

“What, anyway, Riooo .. can't wait so much,” Dean said. Ryan's car just stopped in front of Rio's porch. He came down with a cell phone still in his ear.

“Eh, already nyampe!” rio exclaimed when he heard the car stop on the porch of the house. He walked towards the main door while embracing his wife. Jennifer laughed as soon as she saw Dean's face. He recalled his conversation with Rio a moment ago.

“Hamic hong choi lu lai?(What wind is there here?),” joked Jenni, standing from the front door.

“Cuan lai khua lu e (Just want to see you),” replied Dean, teasing Jenni by hitting her arm slowly. The 17-year friendship with the woman made their relationship look like a brother. Moreover, Ms. Amalia is close friends with both Rio and Jenni's parents. Dean came in without any welcome. He passed by the host who was waiting for the next guest.

“Chin cai lu lah, (By lo, deh)” Jenni laughed.

“Lo who's the same, De? Ryan doang?” rio asked from the front door.

“There's Santoso, tuh. Any chef will be pleased with Santoso's presence. He really knows how to appreciate cooking.” Dean walked straight to the dining room. After looking through the food menu on the table, he pulled one seat on the left side.

“Mas Rio ... thanks for the lunch invitation.” Santoso just arrived on the porch.

“Iya—iya, San. Safe. Just come in,” said Rio from the front door. “Eh, are you not on leave? How are you still working? Novi not yet lahiran?” rio asked, to Ryan who was walking behind Santoso.

“What leave? That which entered first had not been a secretary according to his criteria. I think deliberately talking all is not suitable so I do not be on leave.”

“Ryan! Instead of ranting there, mending you in. Eat!” dean shouted from the dining table. He took the plate and filled it with white rice, then let the rice sit for a moment. As usual, Dean doesn't like to eat rice whose steam is still steaming.

“Wuih .. big meal,” says Santoso. Following his superior's behavior, he pulled out a chair and sat across from Dean. While Ryan, following sitting next to Dean who was scooping tom yam into a small bowl.

“Eat, So .. Not to mention the light you will come,” said Dean.

“Oh, yes. Light,” murmured Santoso, opening the bowing plate before him.

Shortly after from the terrace came the sound of laughter Toni and Sky. It turned out that they arrived at Rio's house almost simultaneously.

“Nah, right. That's what you've been waiting for,” said Dean, turning towards the connecting goal of the dining room.

“Eh, already at aja.” Toni approached the dining table and patted Santoso on the shoulder.

“Mbak Mus, let's sit next to me.” Santoso pulled the empty chair next to him.

Musdalifah stood up for a moment looking at the other empty seats.

“Si dog,” maki Toni, chuckles. Then he pulled the chair next to Musdalifah.

“Yes, really, Ma'am. I just want to ask for plaster to Mbak Mus,” said Santoso, patting the seat next to him.

The Musdalifah ignored Dean's words. “Plester? For what?” asked Musdalifah, with a look of wonder.

“For the blisters because they have fallen to their knees with Mbak Mus,” replied Santoso, with a calm look. He then nodded at Musdalifah, as if assuring that sitting next to him was the right thing.

“Makin jago, lo. I'm proud!” dean said, giving his thumb. Musdalifah looked at Dean. Toni's getting chuckled.

“Lo how lethargic?” greet the Sky, pull up the chair next to Ryan. “Udah no lifetime gym card, dipake dong. Let's get fit. Follow the exercise form lo.” muscles

“Iya, Yan. Let's get sexier.” Toni said from across the sky.

“Ngegym what, anyway?” dean asked, astonished. “Since when did you join the gym?” Dean started to spoon his rice into his mouth.

“There, deh. Want to know, anyway.” The sky laughed, opening the plate in front of him.

“Nge-gym where?” ask Dean.

“The Huge,” replied Toni.

“That weakness. Lo buy? Tumben really you spend so much money just for gym?” Dean chews with his eyebrows clutched. “Kok I became suspicious. It can't be corruption. If you were corrupt, I would know. And you do not like to waste money on something that is not an emergency. That must be free. Huge Gym?” Dean looked at the sky.

“From me,” Sky. “Ape? I want to talk to you.” The sky looked at Dean.

“No way, no believe. There must be a gamble in it,” Dean said.

“Lo did not say makasi to your boss, Yan?” ask Toni.

“Thank you why, anyway?” Dean's face was getting confused.

“Kasi tau-kasi tau ..” Rio said from the end of the table.

“Makasi, Mr. Dean .. I won a bet a Platinum Huge Gym member for a lifetime thanks to the sense of insecure in Beer Garden a few days ago.”

“Eh, dammit. Make up for me, lo!” sergeant Dean continues to eat.

The sky patted Ryan on the shoulder. “Udah can you use. Data has been verified,” review Sky.

"It's done soon" said Ryan, back to eating.

“Eh, How Wulan, Ton?” ask Rio. He and Toni sat opposite each other at the end of the table.

“Wulan? Mmm ... about malem I have a date ama him,” said Toni, with a tone that changed 180°.

“Cieee .... Dating .... Want to do the confirmation! You can try the trail, Ton.” Dean laughed at Toni.

“Mesum just mind lo,” says Toni.

“Nak Toni shy.” Dean sniggered back. Toni crumpled a tissue to knock Dean over.
