80.


"Guil!" Excuse Mumu happy. He immediately stood up to greet Wulan.


Wulan as usual remains beautiful and charming with a dress of mocca color gamis combined with a matching color hijab.


Although this time she used a veil so that her beauty was not exposed to the outside, but Mumu could still recognize her without having to use her spiritual power.


"Please sit down, Wulan!" Mumu said with spirit.


Wulan nodded. He sat directly opposite Mumu.


"What do you want, Wulan?"


Wulan hesitated a little. He was not used to using others to eat or drink things.


"Order what you want. Relax, I'll pay. Think of it as a thanksgiving for our friendship." Mumu smiled as she looked at Wulan.


Wulan was not until the heart rejected Mumu's good intentions. He paid little respect to Mumu who had helped them this morning.


While waiting for the order to come, Wulan asked Mumu, "Why are you here? What are you doing, Mumu?"


Mumu then told me what happened, from the store to buy vegetable seeds until he rested here because he wanted to eat rujak.


"Are you not in college or work? How old are you really?"


This was a question that plagued Wulan and Lisa's mind from earlier, there was indeed a vague estimate from them. Because this time Wulan can meet directly with Mumu without Lisa so that she can no longer hold the question that is quite stuck in her heart.


Seeing how serious Wulan was, Mumu couldn't help but smile, "Does it have to be that serious, Wulan? Do you want to take me to Capil's office to take care of the ID?" Hearing that Wulan could only blush in shame, fortunately his face was covered in a veil so Mumu did not see his face turning red.


"I just finished High School, currently still not in college and also there is no job that remains aka unemployment."


If Lisa was here maybe she would scorn Mamu who is unemployed and not in college. Unlike Wulan, he had roughly guessed in that direction. After all, he didn't really care about Mumu's status like that. He doesn't dispute a single thing. All she cares about is age, Mumu.


Seeing that Mumu still did not mention her age, Wulan again asked, "Then how old are you?" But this time the tone was more calm and relaxed.


"Eighteen years!"


"Eighteen years?" Wulan's eyes were wide in disbelief. He looked into Mumu's eyes as if he wanted to know the truth there. But those eyes remained calm. As calm as the lake that makes Wulan feel comfortable when looking at it.


Indeed, Mumu's face looks young, but seeing his attitude that looks mature, Wulan thinks at least Mumu's age is in the span of twenty or twenty-one years. He never thought that Mumu was eighteen years old.


They were three years adrift, the age of Wulan twenty-one years. But Wulan feels that Mumu is more mature than she is.


Wulan did not tell too much about him, other than the age he only said that he was one of the students of sharia economics in the sixth semester at one of the campuses outside Selatpanjang.


Because Wulan did not want to tell him too much about himself, Mumu did not want to ask further. This increases Wulan's delight at Mumu's attitude.


But they also talk a lot. They no longer talk about personal things.


"Well, how ya...." Wulan looked doubtful. Seeing that, although a little disappointed, Mumu did not show on her face. Mumu realized that she was asking for too much.


However, the world they both are very different. Wulan is a college boy and most likely the son of a rich man.


His upcoming career is clear, while Mumu is only an unemployed person whose future is unclear, not a college person so it is only natural that Wulan still wants to keep a distance from him.


"He don't think too much, Wulan. I'm not serious, let's just say I was wrong. Oh yeah, why are you alone? Where's your friend Lisa?" Mumu immediately changed the subject.


The atmosphere that initially felt stiff because of Mumu's request had again melted.


Apparently Lisa is having activities so Wulan lives alone at home. Out of boredom, he ended up walking around aimlessly. Finally he wanted to sit around for a while in the pool of Clear Lake, not expecting him to meet Mumu here.


Wulan looked at the clock on the phone, "It's late afternoon, Mumu. I go home first. Thanks for the time and effort."


"Together, Wulan. Need to be escorted home?"


Wulan immediately shook her head and said solemnly, "Don't, Mumu, no more." He doesn't want Mumu to know Lisa's house is a temporary residence for him right now.


After all, he did not want to get too close to Mumu, even though he felt comfortable talking to Mumu. Of course this is not because of Mumu's status.


Perhaps out of fear that Mumu would kneel him secretly, Wulan left immediately as Mumu paid for their food and drink.


Mumu could only shake her head at Wulan's behavior but she did not blame him at all.


As Wulan expected, Mamu did indeed kneel him, even though Wulan was already very far away, Mumu could still see him.


The only reason Mumu followed Wulan was not just because she wanted to know her home so that she could visit Wulan.


Nah! It's not like that at all. Mumu just wanted to make sure that Wulan reached her home safely.


Regardless of Mumu's feelings about whether she likes Wulan or not, she clearly does not want to build a relationship with coercion.


As the saying goes, he once read in a book saying that 'Let go instead of imposing, ichlasan rather than painful, let go rather than fighting alone.'


Turns out Wulan's house is on Banglas street and then into an alley that has no signboard left.


But Mumu can easily mark it because the alley is right next to the Temple.


From a distance Mumu saw Lisa coming out of the house welcoming Wulan, Mumu also breathed a sigh of relief and soon passed from there.


In that moment, Lisa immediately scouted Wulan with a variety of questions that made Wulan immediately close her ears and immediately ran to the room.


Lisa certainly didn't want to let Wulan go. While following Wulan to the room she continued to nag, "Until your heart goes for a walk alone not waiting for me to come home. In terms of my activities instead of long, when I came home you weren't there."
