episode 321 (S2)
" Oh, someone helped me explain the vegetables here." Say mother.
" It seems like my mom has made friends." Said Kevin.
" It can be said that." Say mother.
" What's the purchase?" ask Kevin.
" For vegetable mama taste enough, we find a side dish first." Say mother.
Kevin nodded his head while pushing the grocery trolley. They stopped in front of a box, inside the box was a variety of seafood. My mom bought seafood.
" It's good here." Said her mother slowly.
" Why is it good, Ma?" ask Kevin.
" Seafood is easy to get and cheap." Said his mother happy.
" There's still cheaper ma." Kevin said quickly.
" Oh yeah, where." Mama is curious, as mothers if there are cheaper items they must immediately enthusiastic spirit.
" In the traditional market." Kevin said quickly.
" How cheap is it from here?" ask mama.
" I don't know, I never cook. How do I know the price difference. It's just an open secret, if the traditional market prices are more skewed than in supermarkets. Because in the market we can bargain." Kevin explained.
" Sometimes you take your mom there."
Kevin squinted his eyes, he had never been to the market at all but he had to comply with his mother's request.
" But usually the traditional market is muddy." Kevin said quickly.
" What a jerk?" Madame Paula looks confused.
" That machek, there's a lot of puddles everywhere, it's the same in the supermarket the road is smooth like a motorway." Kevin said quickly.
" Oh that's right, it's okay, but you better ask the woman to take her to the traditional market. Surely he can help mama to bargain the price of groceries. If you can't bargain for the price." Said his mother quickly.
" Yes right." Kevin laughed.
" Sometimes she will introduce you to him." Said Mrs Paula again.
" Why did you introduce me to your friend." Kevin said quickly.
" Yes, it's okay. How do you know you can be friends too." Say mother.
" Or mama wants to set me up again." Temptation Kevin.
" That's you, Jasmin doesn't want to ask for two." Say mother.
All kitchen and kitchen equipment has been purchased. They returned to the car to the house.

He returned home on his sister's motorbike.
Arriving at home, he put his groceries into a basket. Menik did not buy a lot of groceries because he did not have a refrigerator to store his groceries, so he only bought for the day.
" Sister from the supermarket?" ask Bima.
" Yes." Yeah." Say Menik while tidying up his groceries.
" Why do you shop at the supermarket." Bima asked while reading the writing of the supermarket in a plastic bag.
" Yes want to shop like the rich, who always shop there." Speak Quickly.
" So don't dream in broad daylight, we're hard people, love the money." Grouser Bima.
" Oh you are very chatty, the brother was going to buy something in the supermarket but than the brother stopped by the market again to buy mending grocer sister buy there. Calculate gasoline savings." Speak Quickly.
" Yes whatever, just don't be extravagant." Say her adek while leaving her brother who will cook.
Menik imagines his meeting with Mrs Paula.
" Why mother's face is like a stranger, like I've seen it. But where is it." Mumbles Slowly.
He continued his cooking, and the sound of his phone rang. He lifted his phone.
***
In car.
Madam Paula called Menik's number.
" That's the woman who helped my mother." Say your mother quickly while pressing Menik number.
" So." Said Mrs Paula.
" Hello who is this." Answer Menik. He did not keep Madam Paula's number, as he did not ask for the middle-aged woman's mobile number.
" Hello this is Paula, we met in the supermarket. Do you remember." Said Mrs Paula.
Kevin just glanced at his mother and looked straight ahead.
" O Mother, yes I remember. What's up." Menik said confused.
" Can you accompany me to the traditional market." Mrs Paula said slowly.
" Now?" ask a quick manik.
" Not now, when you have time." Said Mrs Paula again.
" I can only be Saturday and Sunday ma'am. My usual day at work." Answer Quickly.
" It's okay, next Saturday I'll call again. Thank you, yeah." Said her mother slowly and then closed her call.
Madam Paula saw her son driving.
" He can only be Saturday and Sunday." Said Mrs Paula.
Kevin didn't answer he just glanced at his mother at a glance.
" It seems like he's a good boy, mama will learn a lot with him." Said his mother quickly.
" What does mama mean?" kevin was confused.
" Mama's just set foot here for the first time, a lot of things you don't know here. Like culture and all. What's wrong with you studying." Said his mother in spirit.
" I can teach you about the customs here." Kevin said quickly.
" Mama is not sure about you, because you grew up in England so according to mama things like that you do not understand. Better mama learn the same natives here." Said his mother quickly.
" Mama mentioned the woman without mentioning her name. My mom doesn't remember her name." Ask Kevin quickly.
" Mama remembers her name, if it's not her fault Ma." Mrs Paula's words hung, she showed her cell phone to her son. Because he had a hard time mentioning the name of the woman he just knew.
Madame Paula gave Menik her name on her phone under the name Manek. Because according to English, for the letter e is the letter a and the letter i is the letter e. So he called Menik the name Manek.
Kevin glanced at his mother.
" Funny name." Kevin said quickly.
" Yes, he's funny as his name says." Say mother.
Hearing the name Kevin had thought of Menik, but he tried not to connect the name called his mother with the name of the woman he adored. Because he thinks the spelling is different.
The car that Kevin was driving had arrived at his house. They came into the house with lots of food.
As soon as the door opened, Madam Paula saw her daughter lying on the sofa.
" False lazy girl. Your work is done yet." Said his mother angry.
" Capek ma, I've cleaned the upstairs, this floor hasn't. I need a break ma." Grumpy Jesy.
" That's just an excuse." Said his mother quickly
" Already ma, do not be forced, we also just arrived from abroad. We clean it up tomorrow." Kevin said quickly.
" Sister quickly find a maid, I can't afford to clean this big brother's house every day." Jesy's grouse is limp.
" Yes, I'll find a maid as soon as possible." Answer Kevin quickly.
" Did mama ask for help with Manek alone." Said his mother quickly.
" Who is ma?" ask Jesy.
" Mama's friend, we just met at the supermarket, she helped mama a lot there." Said his mother quickly.
" A funny name." Jesy muttered quickly.
" Ma don't trust other people. For the maid's business let me find." Kevin said quickly.
" Mama thinks she's a good woman, but she's given it all to you." Said his mother quickly.
" Like, many comments and votes thank you."
