Hacking Flavors
38. Bald Man?

When I felt that my heart was no longer able to hold its omnipotent thump, suddenly my sharp sense of hearing caught the sound of the footsteps of others who were about to enter the house.

Immediately I shook Karina's hand that I was holding. And I immediately took a sitting position away from Karina.

As long as I do that. Karina was still quietly fixated in her body position which was also still bent. Both eyes follow my body.

"Bang, I forgot bil.ang.uh, Karina is still here? Kirain has left for work!" Mark said as he approached us.

Karina straightened her back again in a standing position. And I caught a sharp wink from both of his eyes. He seemed very upset with me.

"Yes. This is also just about to be announced. If so, I'll go first, Mark!" Pamit Karina to Mark. But he ignored me.

As soon as Karina's figure disappeared behind the door, I heard Mark ask.

"Karina why, Bang? I'm angry at that?" Mark asked suddenly.

"uh? Was she? Don't know. You're mistaken..or maybe you pissed him off?" I threw a tuding at Mark.

"Huh?? Don't you! Just met in front of the fence he was still fine. Just now it was like her face was tangled.." Mark dodged my accusation.

"Ah. just your feelings once, Mark. Oh yeah, you forgot to say what?" I reminded Mark of his reason for returning.

"Yes! I forgot to tell you that Nila will be here Sunday to stay the night. He wants to celebrate our birthday by dinner here he said," Mark told reporters.

"Udah? That aja?"

"And in the afternoon my little friend Labib came. Most likely he would stay here. It's okay, Bang?" Ask Mark.

"Oh so. That's okay. This is your home, Mark.." I'm letting Mark take his friend to stay the night.

"But let it be comfortable also that, yes I kaish know first Bang Erlan. Especially the possibility that I will return home after Maghrib again, Bang. Afraid of Labib to come here, please tell him to rest in my room. It's not locked!" Imbuh Mark's.

"Yes. I'll remember your message later, Mark!" Answer me.

"Thank you, Bang! Well then, I'm leaving now huh, Bang?" Pamit Mark before disappearing back out of the house.

By noon, I had activated my new mobile number. The first thing I did was keep the Mark number he had written on the back of my new cell phone box.

After saving the Mark number, I also directly download some applications that if important in my opinion include the food delivery service.

That afternoon, I ordered my food on line for the first time with a new cell phone. Thank goodness I still have some cash sheets that Karina once gave me.

Actually, Mark gave me a card of my own. And in it there is also a sum of money with seven digits in its balance. According to Mark, it was his form of gratitude because I had accompanied his Mama on the rest of Laila's life.

At first I refused the money. But Mark forced me many times. I finally got the ATM card in the end.

But now, after finishing my lunch, the afternoon the young man named Labib actually came to Mark's house.

Mark did not go home yet. That's why I let Labib rest in Mark's room, according to Mark's message to me this morning.

After Maghrib, Mark returned home. And my chance to be recognized as the real Erlan by my two flesh bloods finally reappeared. Especially when I found out his true identity from a Labib.

I was in my room and praying. Then I heard Mark's car coming home.

At the same time, I heard Labib's footsteps coming down the stairs. (Thank you for my super hearing!) Until finally he opened the door and rebuked with Mark.

"Joke you, Mark! Wasn't it just a month ago the last time we met? You're the one who came to visit us in Singapore?" Labib's repugnance for Mark's words just now.

"Ah. that is not to be counted Bib! It was accidentally met. How's Aunt Nunik? Has his condition improved?"

Deg.

Ba dump's. Ba dump's.

Upon hearing Nunik's name, my memory immediately drifted to Nunik, Laila's close friend.

'Ah! Why did I forget about Nunik?!' I cursed myself in the room.

"Alhamdulillah has improved. Mom send a message. Sorry for not being able to meet Aunt Laila for the last time. Because his rheumatism had also been rumored in recent weeks." said Labib, then.

'So Labib was the son of Nunik? Hmm. but as I recall Nunik's son was a girl. What is his name . Mmmmmm... Baby Nan isn't it?' I was busy guessing myself in the room.

"Yes it's okay. Nania wants to be married next month? The party's gonna be in Singapore or here, Bib?" Ask Mark then.

'No! nania's right her name is!' I called out to myself in my room.

"Don't know. He said he wanted to be here. But looking at the condition of Mama now, most likely his kayak will be in Singapore deh," replied Labib.

"Oh. uh yeah, what day do you want to be here for?" Mark asked suddenly.

"Yes until the end of your milad event! I told you, Mark. If I want to shoot your twin it's dinner!" Labib answered excitedly.

'Ooh. His looks like Labib likes our Nila. Hmm. I have to really judge this young man. Is it true that he is a good young man to my Nila!' I've made a new determination.

"Well, I think you should think extra about your shooting, yeah, Bib!" Seloroh Mark then.

"Why is that?" Ask Labib.

"Because it seems like my sister already likes another man! You lose fast, Bib!" Mark said to tell.

Hearing Mark's words, I felt as if he was talking about me. And it turns out that my assumption was true as evidenced by Mark's next speech.

"Who's the guy Nila likes, Mark? I want to know her!" Labib's question sounded fierce all of a sudden.

Glug.

For a moment, I found it difficult to swallow my own saliva.

"Well, that's easy. We just need to go downstairs and see her in the room. You'll be able to meet your rival in person, Bib!" Answer Mark in a relaxed tone.

"You mean?!"

"You've met another man who lives in this house, right? He's the one who greeted you at the door, isn't he?" Mark asked suddenly.

"Er... You mean that bald guy Nila likes?!!" Labib sounded surprised.

And in a moment, I immediately held my flat head. I muttered softly, "i'm not bald!" My protest against Labib's words just now.
