JI 2 - Start to Improve

Good news came from Leon, he was already able to walk even though it was still staggering. The tingling sensation in his legs is still there, but not too severe as yesterday.

Since he was able to walk, Leon so often walk around the house. He had to train his feet to get used to the road again.

David washes the car. Though Leon has often said, if you want to wash the car just take it to the car wash. But David always chooses to wash his own car. The reason is that he is short of work. Instead of the money used to wash the car, it is better to use it for others.

Arini is flying. Jasmine is in school. Wulan is shopping at the supermarket. And Joseph was playing a bicycle with Ani, of course it was a four-wheeled bicycle. Because Joseph was a child. I can't use a two-wheeled bike.

It's a Wednesday. Although it is a working day, Leon decides to take a day off. He wants to practice the road.

Leon's alone on the third floor. He was pacing back and forth like an iron. Satisfied pacing around the house, Leon then went down the stairs slowly. He wants to walk outside the house.

After fighting for quite a while, Leon finally arrived outside. Joseph called himself to come closer. The boy was happy to be able to play the bike.

"Papa... Cini...." Joseph waved his hand.

Staggering, Leon approached Joseph outside the fence. "Where have you been?" leon asked while crouching to align his height with Joseph.

"Can!" Joseph pointed to his right.

Leon nodded. "Later if Papa is healthy, Joseph will play with Papa?"

"Law. Soup au ain cama Papa" Joseph answered in a still slurred voice.

"Would you play again or have you?" ani asked who was standing next to Joseph.

"Daddy," answered Joseph enthusiastically.

"Be careful, yes, Bude," Leon said.

"Well, sir," Ani replied as she walked behind Joseph pedaling her bicycle.

"Mas Leon! Here, deh!" David waved his hand, hinting for Leon to approach him.

Leon approached David who was sweeping the car. The twenty-year-old man's clothes were already soaked. He seems to be playing water intentionally. What do-don't, this David at a young age was less happy, huh?

"Mas Leon's been in the shower, hasn't he?" david asked with a cry.

Feeling that there is an unpleasant feeling. Leon walked right into the house. He did not want to be watered by David. He had a bath, he wanted to be bathed again by David.

"Mas Leon has escaped. I'm just asking" said David, chuckling at Leon's departure.

"I knew you'd flush me!" leon shouted as he entered the house.

David shook his head while continuing to finish the job. He chuckles slowly. Leon was there, but he just asked. Why even suspected of wanting to water, that's how?

Between David and Wulan there is no more gossip. Both of them acted as usual. Ani who was a scene yesterday, now is no longer excited because tired itself does not get a response from Wulan and David.

David also never again defeated Wulan. It's nothing, he just doesn't want anyone to misunderstand.

If he has never tried Japanese cuisine, then how can he know the cuisine he cooked failed or not. Because there is no benchmark.

What Wulan did not know, it turned out that David had been standing behind him. David also saw Wulan looking for Japanese recipes on the internet.

"Like Japanese cuisine?" ask David. He who had just arrived, immediately sat next to Wulan.

Wulan tiptoed in shock when she saw David suddenly just appear. This is David, right? Not a subtle creature, is it? How can it appear suddenly. Makes it almost hanger.

The two were sitting in the afternoon at the pool. The orange light of the sun watered the earth. From the swimming pool, the orange light was reflected. It's exquisite.

"Like Japanese food?" david asked once again because Wulan had not answered him.

"Never tasted at all. How can I like it?" sahut Wulan while leaning his back on the back of a rattan chair.

"Never? Why not try? Delicious, loh. Especially sushi. I love sushi" David said, picturing his favorite sushi.

"Depart if I want, I buy," Wulan said, crossing her right leg on her left. "Which country's food have you never tried?" wulan asked without looking at David. It seemed, all the food from other countries had been tried by David.

"Waaah... A great deal. I only eat famous. There's still so much I haven't tried." David answered while looking at the swimming pool in front of him.

"So far, which country's food do you like best?"

"Indonesia is amazing. I like the spit. I like a strong salty taste, and I like a lot of oil" David replied with a chuckle.

"It looks like you like hunting food. What is your reaction when you get a strange new food? If I, maybe I could throw up" Wulan said as she opened her phone because she had just rang. There's a message coming in.

"I always give you new food. As weird as it is, I can take it and never throw up."

"Surprisingly," Wulan said as she typed on her phone screen. He was replying to a message from his mother who was in the village.

"Who is that? Your fiancee, huh?" david asked as he saw Wulan smiling herself in front of the phone.

Though David did not know, Wulan smiled to herself because her mother said funny. Wulan's mother said her cousin was getting married soon. And her future husband is a landlord in the village. But what made Wulan laugh was the fact that the old man was no longer young.

For some people love is completely blind and sees nothing. Including physically.

Or perhaps love itself is utterly outdone by abundant treasure? Ah, it could be.

"If you're married, do you still work here or not?"

Wulan did not answer David's question. He chose to play his phone to look at the posts of artists on Instagram.

"Hey! I'm talking the same hand, huh? How come there's no answer?"

Wulan pressed her shoulders. "Come, gih! I want magrib," he said as he entered the house.

David then entered the house also because the day was getting darker. He ignores his frustration at Wulan with his last question that the girl did not answer.
