"My goal is ... hmmm .. Tell me which dong is who?" Mr. Arendra is still spreading a confident smile towards my entire great laundry squad.
Hmmm .. The ten-cent smile made me fly. Ah .. can't! I saw the little girl who was held by the man. I need to focus! Raising Elena, taking care of laundry and paying her employees, college ... I should be able to get a college degree.
Looks like Elena is still comfortable with our situation like this. It might also be because letting go of her joining anyone, making Elena never feel lonely. Elena doesn't need a father figure. Anyway, where could it be Mr Arendra? I can't dream too high.
Elena, the more days he gets. I'm always worried about Elena asking Bang Alan. He understood that Bang Alan used to live with us. After he goes to school, there will be more to ask.
"Elena, how big does Papa like?" ask one of the laundry members to throw out what I was thinking
"Elena likes Papa this big." Elena spread both her hands.
"Waaah, that's so big? So can Papa really be Elena dong?" timpal Pak Arendra glanced at me while smiling back.
What's wrong with her? Was she happy after meeting her ex-boyfriend?
From the other side, Sister Vina elbowed me. "Hard code anyway."
"Hard code?"
Sister Vina chuckled at her smile. "Mas Aren, don't need obscure codes. The person does not understand the meaning of connotations, it is better to use straightforward sentences!"
I tried to understand the meaning spoken by Sister Vina just now. During Junior High I learned connotation and denotation. When the C package education is very short, it makes me not have time to deepen the material. So, what Kak Vina said was indeed true. I'm too stupid to understand invisible terms in the ear.
I found back Mr. Arendra who was unrelenting looking at me. He smiled faintly and then tried to choose the menu that was being held even though everyone had finished eating.
"So, who's going to treat us?" tanyakanya.
Vina's sister patted her forehead. "Where have you been, Boss?" said gomash.
"Pick it, sir ... what do you want to eat?" my many.
Then Mr. Arendra realized all the plates on the table were empty. He put the menu back on with a clumsy smile. "I don't think it's good to eat alone."
"Our big boss is waiting for you from earlier. So do you want to be treated what not?" Kak Vina is getting anxious with the behavior of Pak Arendra half-and-half.
He looked back at whoever was surrounding this table. He was still trying to guess something turned out.
"Mr, who's looking for him?"
Then he approached and whispered something in my ear. "Please tell me, which one is it?"
"meaning?"
"Your boss is that? What girl boy? Is old young? Is it here, isn't it?" whispered back.
"What do you want with him?"
"I want to talk to him in one eye."
"Samma-hem-hem ...." Everything at this table began to stir with whispers between us.
"Still confused about the guy, Mas?" chirps Kak Vina.
"You are not cool, use the secrets of all." murmured my lecturer to improve his position that still holds Elena.
Elena from busy playing the food menu that was held by this young doctor finally chose to incline down from the lap of the man.
"Mom, let's go home ayoo." Elena took my hand and Mr. Arendra's hand. Then pull us both towards the cashier.
Mr. Arendra immediately groped the bag looking for his wallet. "Help ...." He glanced at the table where we had eaten.
"Elena, why was Papa brought here too?" ask me to poke the chin of this girl who's getting bigger.
"Yes, Elena wants to take Papa home." Elena is back in the hands of Mr. Arendra.
"How much is everything, Ma'am?" ask me to the cashier.
Some time waiting for the cashier to count, Mr. Arendra seemed busy counting the money in his wallet while squatting on Elena's back. What'd he want to try?
"So, the total is two million five hundred and sixty-four thousand rupiah."
"Why, Sir?" I lyrically Mr. Arendra while handing a credit card to the cashier.
Mr. Arendra saw my actions take Elena off her lap. He rubbed his face looking frustrated looking at me and the card that was being accessed by the cashier.
"Already, Ma'am. Thank you." Thank you." Give me back my credit card and payment notes.
Mr. Arendra without thinking hard. He looked towards the table, alternating Elena and I.
"Udah, Buuk. Let's go home ..." Elena pulled my hand back.
Mr. Arendra crouched back to pull Elena. "Wait, tell Papa. Why did Elena bring Ibuk here? Elena knows what place this is?"
"It's a pay-off place, Pa. Usually if you eat, I'm paying." Elena explained with her soft face.
Mr. Arendra scrambled Elena's hair and came back. "So you've been fooling me all this time? Do I look like a fool in your eyes?"
"What the hell, sir? Not very clear?"
He ruffled his hair in annoyance and just left without saying goodbye. I could only see his back which kept moving away. So, what exactly does he want? That was ... After knowing like this, he even got angry himself.
"Basic gaje!" I finally monologued myself expressing my frustration.
"Why him?" asked Brother Vina walking closer to me.
"I guess again PMS ... he likes weird suddenly."
Sister Vina laughed out loud hearing my frustration. "Actually he's a cold person always putting on a flat face. However, I see him as more expressive when he's near you."
"Aah, time anyway? I see he's such an obscure person. Likes a sudden weird."
Sister Vina played her chin and her forehead looked slightly wrinkled. "Hmmm ... It seems like she's just like you."
"Times?"
"Yes. Try next time you notice him while interacting with someone else."
Vina's sister is just there. I feel told to be an impromptu detective if I have to follow his orders. This time Kak Vina's words I did not respond.

"You!" Mr. Arendra pointed at me with an unusual face. Today's school schedule with him.
"I, Sir?"
"Note the ten basic principles of accounting!" Without answering my question, the annoying fellow immediately asked me a question.
All eyes looked at me with a face of pity.
"A-"
"You got a C because you didn't answer the question I was asking!" he said and turned to other students. He gave me no chance to answer his question.
All the students in the class looked at me with concerned faces. I was like hearing Ismail bin Mail's voice in the tuyul series Elena watched every afternoon saying, "Pity."
