Let Me Fall in Love
81. A Red Rose

"I've been at the Puput Tea house since Saturday afternoon. Sorry, brother, do not answer the same phone vc because Rasya nempel continues. Later his surprise can fail dong. I was in Jakarta. It's not exciting." Ami pelt her tongue and then grinned.

Akbar is putting his hair back together. Awakened already felt astonished from the reason that he thought was unreasonable. If now Ami did not come, it was his determination to leave for Ciamis this afternoon. He continued to spread a smile and did not stop staring at Ami. Because it was so unexpected. For him, Cutie's arrival was a special gift.

"Ami, because Akbar said he did not want to eat a special menu that I had ordered. Just told me to do it or share it again, so this is Ami's cooking I want to take it out." Leo prepared to step up to take a goodie bag containing a lunch box stored on the sofa table.

"Hey.no can!" Akbar swiftly pulled Leo's hand because everyone was still standing. "If you had said the menu was from Ami, I wouldn't have said that. Kirain order from the restaurant."

"Sister Leo, we're eating together. This is enough for 4 servings." Ami held back Leo who was saying goodbye to eating in his study.

"I have bento rice. Eat it while vc with Baby Dew. Let's make Akbar aja sure he's hungry because of the morning jarring because dicuekin Ami tuh."

"Hey...lo have a mouth don't leak!" Hardik Akbar with bulging eyes. Leo laughed with satisfaction as he walked towards the door.

"So this is all Ami cooking?" Akbar stared sparklingly at the three bushels of side dishes that Ami arranged on the table. Also a large bushel filled with rice. Everything is warm. Just now OB delivered plates and spoons. The eating event can begin.

"Yes, except for rice. I am confused as to what. So I proposed to Mama Mila to cook for lunch, Kak Akbar and Mama agreed." Ami started pouring rice into Akbar's plate, then onto Mama Mila's plate, lastly onto her plate.

"And the cooking is also in our house, Bar. Mama picked Ami up at half-nine. We relax at home. Even Ami played with John and Lucy. Mama forbidden Ami to help cook, just help slicing onions and taste tasting. Ugh, did not expect the cooking method sat a set like a professional chef. Ah ah, talk later. It's a worm in the stomach already orchestra. From that time it was tempted by the aroma of cooking. But Mama's got to break up let us eat together."

Akbar smiled more and more. It was nice to know that Ami had been playing at her house. Touched heart gets the service of her Cutie who pours rice and side dishes onto her plate. Simple but happy effects to the recesses of the heart. I can't wait to start tasting.

"I'm sorry, brother, if it's not good. I'm still learning." Ami noticed Akbar's expression that was chewing the first mouthful.

Akbar increased his chewing speed and then devoured a second mouthful without a spoon. It is better to eat with your hands directly so that you can sip the black pepper cow seasoning attached to your hands. Plus seafood capcay that tastes also very tempting tongue. "Great boy, baby. You really are great. I like it." He judges what is and praises sincerely while giving a thumbs up.

Ami chews while looking down to hide the hue on the cheek. Akbar had twice casually called out affectionately in front of Mama Mila.

"Mama has been praised from since the chips earlier. Mom doesn't want to talk first. Concentrate on eating." Mama Mila added another capcay whose vegetable color remains fresh color does not wither. She learned her cooking technique from Ami.

The meal is over. The table is neat again after all the dirty containers are cleaned. Mama Mila accompanied by Leo for a walk around the division just wanted to say hello. Also gives Akbar and Ami a chance.

"Cutie, it's a long time in Jakarta?" Akbar stood beside Ami who was staring at the view of the skyscrapers from the window glass.

"Go home tomorrow, brother. Maybe afternoon what afternoon. You want to play first to Tasya's house. Last time on the way to come here, Kak Tasya threatened to have to stop by his house because kangen want to meet." Ami giggled considering how excited Tasya was when he was told he was in Jakarta.

"Yes, what a spit? Backed up a day can't you? We go for a walk first, meet. When else try." Akbar seduced with a facial expression still shocked to know Ami will be home soon.

"Kasian Mom was left for a long time. I haven't packed any wedding souvenirs. Anyway, at home again bother preparing for the event. I took the time to come to Jakarta to give Ayang surprise." Ami covered her shy face with a stretched palm.

Akbar chuckles. His hands stretched out rubbing the top of Ami's head. "Thank you, baby. Surprise will not be forgotten. More love." His gaze was warm and gentle accompanied by a sweet smile.

Ami shifted a step until the touch of Akbar's hand escaped from the top of his head. Because the effect is not good for heart health. There is an electric shock that makes the heart beat faster.

"Sama-sama, Brother. Sorry for not giving me a gift."

"You came here, it was a special gift and very expensive. Anyway my happiness can't be described with words."

Ami smiled broadly. He could see the facts of Akbar's words. The handsome face with the thin brew was so brightly radiant.

"Oh yeah, where do you plan to go, Cutie?"

"Nothing. Coming home from here, I went back to the Tea Puput house. You see later tonight Kak Rama would take everything to dinner outside with Papi and Mami."

Akbar was silent with a shriveled forehead as he was thinking. He must understand the limited time. Limited by backstreet relationship. "This is. Cutie and Mama took a walk to the mall before going home. Shop whatever Ami wants. I want to nemenin. But there was an afternoon meeting that could not be canceled. You want it, baby?"

"But....."

"There is no rejection!" Akbar shook his head.

Ami nodded resignedly because he saw the highlight of Akbar's assertiveness. And it turns out that when Mama Mila entered, she said she did plan to stop by the mall first before driving home.

"Yuk ah, Mi. We're going to the mall now. Ami's time is limited." Bring Mama Mila. Not only limited Ami time, but also info from Leo who predicted Gita will arrive again at the office at three. For a while who is Akbar's girlfriend, still kept secret.

"I'm home, brother." Ami waved her hand as a farewell.

"Not salim yet?" Akbar raised one eyebrow.

"No need. A electrocution." Mama Mila who swiftly replied with fierce intonation. Make Ami giggle. "Vigorous work, Bar. Pay for the wedding costs later."

"Hey, Mama's son couldn't stand it. Dangers. Let's run away!" Mama Mila grabbed Ami's arm and walked towards the door.

Ami turned her head and gave a farewell smile and a wave of hands again. Akbar replied with a flying kiss and a blink of an eye.

Akbar's smile was still engraved on his lips staring at the already closed door. Ami has disappeared behind the door. But the taste is still left in the room. Although today without any typical Ami fighting, but the presence of his lover was a mood booster that raises immunity.

Ami went home Puput afternoon with a lot of tentengan. Although many times refused to buy many clothes and other items, but Mama Mila keukeuh forced. Even Mama Mila helped choose without peeking at the price. In addition to buying her, Akbar's mother also bought souvenirs for Sekar's mother.

"Later Mama diomeli Akbar if only a little shopping Ami. This card is also from Akbar. Ami don't be afraid of Puput or your mother suspecting. It's Mama who's been shopping."

Ami recalled the reason Mama Mila who was at the cashier held a card. I knew it was all from Akbar. He also sent a message to Akbar.

[Sister, Mama maksa I shop a lot]

Ami felt she had to clarify for fear of being considered matre. But Akbar replies lightly and makes his cheeks blush.

[Seek Mama, Cutie. That's your prize as a general champion and champion in my heart 😘]

"Puput, Mama returned Ami intact. We've been all day cooking, eating, shopping. Ah, what a nice day. Had wanted to ngajak Ami sleep at Mama's house also mumpung again in Jakarta, but Ami did not want. Yowes is okay, can be all day with the youngest Mama was amazingly happy. Understandably at home if the day will be quiet left by Papa and Akbar work. There's Ami, and Mama's missing." Even though it was late afternoon, but Mama Mila still survived the nyerocos with a frenzy. The energy is the same as the morning.

"Yes Mama Mila. Thank you for buying Ami. Ami so ngerepotin Mama to shop a lot of gini." Said the Escape who accompanied in the living room.

"Ah, not so much. When else try there is a chance to meet again in Jakarta. I will soon be in school."

Mama Mila sat down for a while. Soon saying goodbye because Papa Darwis soon time to go home from work.

"Teh, where's Rasya?" Ami did not hear the cry of his nephew who would usually be excited to welcome his arrival.

"The same as his Oma. He said he would come home in the evening." The puput turned to researching Ami's grocery bags. "Mi, Mama Mila is very royal. It's not cheap." He turned to look at the sister with one eyebrow raised.

"So I refused, Tea. I only wear one shirt with one shoe. Uh, Mama Mila was nambahin and maksa. Mama Mila also gave thanks for Mom." Ami breathed a sigh of relief because the Puput did not prolong the discussion. Even told him to take a shower because after the magrib would be dinner outside.

It is very tight schedule Ami while in Jakarta. Not a busy schedule but a play schedule. After a nice dinner last night at a five-star hotel with Papi Krishna's family, tomorrow morning Tasya has been terrorized to come to his mother's house Dewun immediately.

With Mang Kirman escorted, Ami and Rasya arrived at the address according to shareloc sent by Tasya. His nephew wanted to come along especially after being shown a video of Baby Dewun who was learning to sit. Enthusiastic to invite to play.

"Welcome to my house, Ami." Tasya greeted with excitement. Hugging full of longing. "Hi, Aa handsome. Duh who's always sticky same ate nya." He rubbed Rasya's chin with anxiety. Though no one told, but Rasya took Mama Dewun's hand and kissed him.

"Smart kid. So I want to fool you with Dew deh." Tasya praised Rasya's polite attitude.

"Kuy or we make a match." Sahut Ami was accompanied by laughter.

"Onty, can Aa play with the Dew Dedek?" Rasya plays the hand of Dew who is sitting on the baby's dining chair.

"Can, baby. In a moment. Dew finish eating first." Tasya continued to feed the child who had just started MP ASI.

Ami and Tasya were engrossed in a casual conversation on the living room sofa while watching Rasya and Dew play on the carpet. Occasionally, laughter breaks out when random discussion turns to talking about Mama Mila. Not talking about the bad, but talking about the uniqueness.

Tasya opened the incoming message accompanied by a meaningful smile. "Ami, in front there is a courier coming. Please do not accept packages. My feet are tingling." He pointed at his feet that were sitting down.

"Okay, Brother." Ami got up from her seat. Walking through the living room, he turned the locked doorknob. And his eyes widened to see who was standing with a red rose.

"Excuse me. There's a package for love."

"Ish, Brother Akbar!" This time Ami who was shocked because he did not expect to see Akbar again on the day of his return. Last night during a chat, Akbar had said goodbye to the village.

"Of course, only Cutie can give a surprise. I also have to pay back." Akbar smiled seeing Ami receiving a red rose and inhaling its scent.

"There are roses, I want to sing." Ami shifted to stand by leaning against the side wall of the door.

"Nyanyi. I'm ready to be horrified." Akbar also shifted to stand in line, with both hands inserted into the pants pocket.

"Look at my garden full of flowers. Look at you my heart is blossoming. Hehe maksa's song." Ami giggled while covering Akbar's gaze which was now laughing crisply, wiggling a red rose in front of his eyes.
