Tejo then looks busy removing fish, and some groceries from the refrigerator.
"I can't cook!" chirps Santi.
"It's okay. Maybe Santi can help clean the vegetables alone" Tejo said.
Anang sitting near the kitchen table, can only see the movements of the two there, while helping to clean the kitchen spices.
Santi seems to be interested in Tejo's agility in preparing food.
Moreover, when Tejo had started cooking his dishes on the stove, Santi was seen approaching Tejo, and stood next to Tejo, talking to Tejo.
Santi with Tejo, looks like a husband and wife who help each other, while cooking together.
Tejo's nimble hand stirred his cooking was panned, while Santi who went back and forth picked up the ingredients and gave them to Tejo.
Confused what to do.
It would feel strange, if Anang stood in front of the stove with Santi with Tejo, if Anang just watching.
Forced Anang just sat there, while looking at Santi with Tejo, who was cooking.
Every now and then Anang saw Santi chuckling, as Tejo said something.
What's so funny?
Although Tejo cuisine, gives off a fragrant aroma, but Anang does not feel too interested, not even able to provoke the hunger of Anang.
Anang repeatedly let out a heavy long sigh and exhaled slowly, so that he could remain calm while waiting, and watch the scene in front of him.
"Would you eat here, or would you like to stay ahead?" ask Tejo, who seems to have finished cooking.
"Think about!" santi sounded excited.
Santi then helped Tejo arrange food on the kitchen table, while Anang who felt sure that now he was putting on a lethargic face, only saw Santi and Tejo who were still busy there.
"It looks good!" santi shouted while smiling widely.
"Please!" sahut Tejo with a smile that is no less wide.
Anang just shook his head.
Santi brought Anang a plate of rice, as well as Tejo, then took the rice for himself.
Occasionally Anang glanced at Santi who looked greedy eating his food, as well as Tejo who looked happy, while looking at Santi who seemed to like the results of his cooking.
I don't know where Anang's appetite went.
Anang could hardly swallow his food, and only chewed it for a long time, at each mouthful.
"You're good at cooking!" chirped Santi on the sidelines of the lunch, smiling at Tejo.
"I live more alone. Want to not have to learn to cook, here there are not many who sell food so," said Tejo.
"Can't Anang cook too?" ask Tejo.
"Hm... Where we live while there is no kitchen. I with Anang buy food more often outside" said Santi.
Santi and Tejo chatted, as if Anang was not there.
Is Anang now see-through?
"Did our schoolmates still live here?" tanya Anang switched the conversation.
"Still! Partly... Many others are wandering. You want to meet them? I can send an SMS so they come here" Tejo said.
"Yes" said Anang.
Anang agreed with Tejo, because Anang thought it could be if when many of his friends were there, maybe Tejo and Santi's attention would be slightly distracted.
"I called them immediately" said Tejo, who had finished his lunch, then stood up and walked forward.
Soon Santi also finished eating, and so did Anang.
Anang then helped Santi clean up the kitchen utensils, which are dirty used for eating.
Tejo has not returned to the kitchen, Anang and Santi then wash all the dirty things together.
"If we've moved into the house that Papa bought, sometimes I want you to cook for me, then I'll help you" Santi said after they finished washing.
"Yes" Anang replied briefly.
Hearing Anang's reply, Santi looked delighted, with his smile broadening.
Still with slightly wet hands, Santi held both sides of Anang's face with both hands, then kissed Anang's lips there.
Anang hugged Santi tightly, and kissed her back gently.
"I can't wait to move into that house, with you" said Santi who still hugged Anang.
Santi's treatment to Anang, indeed very entertaining Anang, from negative thoughts that had made a short circuit in Anang's brain.
Anang could feel pleased, and smiled widely.
"Why didn't Tejo go back and forth?" santi asked suddenly in an astonished tone.
"We just wait in front" said Anang, embracing Santi's waist and walking out of it.
Until they came out to the front porch of Tejo's house, Anang's male friend also remained invisible to the trunk of his nose.
When Anang sat on one of the chairs in front of Tejo's house, Santi then sat on Anang's lap, and made Anang's hand to hold him there.
"Maybe we can linger in this village. Great atmosphere!" said Santi while leaning on Anang's chest.
"Quiet, not noisy like in the city, also still cool," continued Santi.
Not yet Anang said anything, Santi then went down from Anang's lap in a hurry.
Anang then saw Tejo who was walking down the street leading back to the house, while carrying a medium-sized plastic bag, which was almost full of something.
"I'm sorry I didn't go by the way" Tejo said as he was patched up in his house.
"I went to buy snacks. Our friends are here soon. Eaten huh?! Don't hesitate! I go take a shower first, let it be fresh while relaxing. Rarely can we get together again like this" Tejo continued.
"Yes, thanks!" sahut Santi's.
"Oh... Okay!" sahut Anang in conjunction with Santi.
Tejo smiled at Santi before he walked into his house.
But, this time Anang was not too bothered with Tejo's smile to Santi.
'Kan Anang just got a sweet gift from Santi earlier, Anang is still strong.
After Tejo entered the house, Santi was then seen walking in the courtyard of Tejo's house.
In the courtyard of Tejo house there are still some fruit trees with leafy leaves, and indeed make the temperature there feel cool, even though the sun is still quite high.
Anang then follows Santi, and goes for a slow walk with him, while embracing Santi's waist.
"The villagers are rarely seen?" ask Santi.
"If it's this hour, the average population here is still under. Later in the afternoon it looks crowded," said Anang.
Santi then nodded his head.
"Oh... Worth it!" sahut Santi's.
The two of them were still walking up to the backyard of Tejo's house.
While occasionally Santi asked Anang to take reddish boiled water guava fruit, which can still be reached by Anang's hand.
When Santi was eating the guava that Anang had just picked, Santi then looked glued to his gaze one way while smiling to himself.
Anang then looked at Santi's eyes.
Tejo was bathing, splashing his body with bucket-pail water, wearing only a thin sports boxer, while standing near the well.
