LOVE SONG SINGLES
The Part 116
After returning from the immigration office, Anang and Santi immediately stopped at one of the traditional markets.
After lunch at the restaurant outside the market, the two of them walked into the market, to buy fresh food as necessary.
Traditional market conditions everywhere, it feels almost the same.
Anang rolled up his trouser legs, up to the knees, as well as Santi who coiled up his trouser legs.
The road is muddy, with piles of scented garbage, which is near every corner of the market.
The victory of the traditional market, even though it is noon like that, the price and freshness of its merchandise with a large selection, which is almost unlimited, can still satisfy the desire of people to shop there.
If you can bargain, it's better too.
Sometimes Anang noticed Santi's movements there.
Santi looks relaxed walking around with Anang in the market, although his legs are now dirty and blackish brown.
Without the slightest look uncomfortable, Santi even looks happy, when choosing seafood ingredients that are still fresh, some even have been sold alive, and almost makes Santi flinch to shop more.
"It's just for tonight, and tomorrow. Do you want to throw a party at home?" said Anang reminded Santi, who almost bought a fresh crab in front of him.
Santi was silent for a moment.
"We can take Papa to eat with us. Papa also likes seafood like me," said Santi lightly.
Anang just shook his head while smiling.
Anang and Santi could buy all the groceries they wanted, at an affordable price.
After feeling what they want to buy, they got everything, Anang then took Santi home.
They still had a brief stop at the front of the market, in one of the stores that sold backpacks and suitcases.
"Our stuff would not fit, if only put in a suitcase that is in the room," said Santi.
Santi bought two medium-sized suitcases, before they ordered a taxi, to drive them back to the hostels.
Upon arrival at the boarding houses, they washed dirty feet exposed to mud, in the water in the front of the boarding house.
After getting clean enough, and washing his feet with soap in the bathroom, in their boarding room, the two were busy packing their belongings, which were still stored in the closet.
It's true said Santi, Anang's goods alone already need additional suitcases to store it.
"the hunt! Then all my pieces die," said Santi who looked panicked, as he stuffed his things into the suitcase.
"Did? This is a lot, your stuff too!" said Anang, who helped pack up the rest of Santi's belongings, laughing.
Santi looks scowled, but does not comment anything with Anang.
"Just calm...! Doesn't the crab die when it's cooked? Would you like to eat the crab alive?" anang said he was still laughing.
Santi throws Anang with a piece of his shirt.
"Baaahh... You don't keep mocking me" said Santi, with a clear voice and face.
"You can't stand being ridiculed, but you often make fun of me." said Anang, who couldn't stop laughing.
"Maass...!" santi said while scowling.
Although Anang still wanted to ridicule Santi, but he could not bear to see Santi's pouting cheeks, as if his cheeks were about to fall on the floor.
Anang hugged Santi tightly and kissed his head.
"The crab won't die, just for a minute... They'll wait until you're done storing your things" Anang said, then laughed out loud.
"Youngam...!" the sound of Santi's complaint was even more adorable in Anang's ear, to the point that Anang wanted to hug Santi even tighter.
Except for the pinch of Santi on Anang's waist that feels quite painful, and can make Anang grimace in pain.
Every now and then, Anang looked at the anxious-looking Santi, glancing into the plastic bag, where the crab was kept.
It was as if Santi wanted to make sure that the crab was still alive.
Anang just smiled at him himself.
After finishing packing all their belongings, then the face of Santi looks cheerful again.
"It's over!" santi said excitedly.
"Say wait for an invitation!" keep up with Santi again.
Santi then stood up, and walked here and there, as if he was making sure the things they packed, had been packed everything.
"I'm gonna hold you for a second!" chirps Anang.
Santi was silent for a while, then approached Anang who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Anang hugged Santi and kissed her there.
"Not angry anymore, are you?" ask Anang.
Santi nodded his head, then smiled while looking at Anang.
"Good cooking later, huh?!" said Santi.
"Ready, baby...!" anang Sahut.
When the invitation came, they were both quite troubled to bring their belongings out of the boarding house, and had to go back and forth in their room, then all the suitcases and other items could be taken all.
Anang and Santi also took the time to say goodbye to the hostess' mother, while returning their room keys to her, before they left.
"Have you told your dad that we're going there?" ask Anang when they're in the cab.
"Already! In fact, I've been telling you since last night, that we might be a little late afternoon coming there," said Santi, peering into a plastic bag he placed on the floor, near his feet.
Yes, Santi was still watching the crab there, until they arrived at the new house given by Santi's father to them, Santi still occasionally checked the plastic bag containing the crab.
So busy Santi with his favorite crab, that Santi seemed to not care about Anang, who was busy himself lifting their suitcases into the house.
"Why did you buy fresh crabs? Can you cook now?" ask Santi's father to Santi.
"No. Anang will cook it for me" said Santi lightly.
Santi's father seemed to shake his head, smiling at Anang.
"Just leave the stuff there!" santi said to Anang.
"We'll just cook!" continued Santi, while pulling Anang's arm, so as to walk with him towards the kitchen.
"Papa can help us, if Papa wants to eat," said Santi, as he passed by Santi's father, who was standing near them.
Anang obviously felt bad about Santi's words to his father, but Anang could not comment.
Anang can only follow Santi who walked hastily, followed by Santi's father from behind.
Santi then put all the crabs in the sink, while Anang dismantled other foodstuffs, which they bought from the market earlier.
So did Santi's father who walked over to Santi, who was still standing near the sink, as if it would help Santi clean, or watch the crab there.
It feels probably more appropriate to say watching, because both Santi and Santi's father just saw the crab without doing anything.
"How do I clean it?" ask Santi's father, after a long time standing with Santi near the sink.
Anang smiled widely, and almost laughed, seeing the behavior of Santi and Santi's father there.
