"Yon, Mom and Dad left first. You are at home carefully, do not forget to check the door before and after from the outside. The Mbok mama keep asking to come here to make you food and clean the house so you can focus on working without having to think about homework" said Bu Ayu to Leon.
"Yes, Mama and Papa be careful on the road. If the business in Yogyakarta is over, let me know so I can take the time to pick up Mama and Papa at the airport."
A second later, Leon's parents' domestic assistant told her that the taxi booked was waiting in front of the house. So the couple who have been blessed with two grandchildren stepped together towards the terrace of the house. However, before Ms. Ayu got into the car, Leon exclaimed to stop the middle-aged woman's footsteps.
"Ma, I'm tipping bakpia pathok and salak pondoh for Lulu. Let me have a reason to pay a visit to his index." Leon said while shaming in shame. Hands scratching the scalp that does not feel itchy. He had already decided to approach Lulu for not wanting until there was another man close to the girl.
Bu Ayu smiled broadly at hearing that. "Just calm down, I will bring the most delicious bakpia pathok specifically for prospective mama's ghosts. Already yes, mama and Papa go first, afraid to miss the plane."
Leon waved his hands into the air, letting go of his parents with the accompaniment of do'a, wishing God that his mother and father be protected until they survived to the destination.
Sitting on the sofa in the family room. Both hands extend to the right and left of the sofa backrest by crossing the legs. Leon returned to watch his favorite anime on one of the online streaming apps.
Feeling bored, Leon turned off the television screen using a remote that was on a long table. "Bete I am. Instead of daydreaming, should I go to Lulu's index, huh? As for me today he's off, surely he also feels bored because his time off is only in the doang room."
Without a second thought, Leon immediately walked towards his room on the second floor. Replace your home clothes with casual clothes and do not forget to bring a wallet, car keys, and mobile phone, put all these items in a small bag.
"Mbok, I'm out first. Suppose the Maghrib I have not returned, Mbok just went home. Don't forget to check the windows and doors, make sure they're all locked." Leon told me before leaving the house.
"Well, Den Leon."

At exactly ten in the morning, Leon arrived at Lulu's index. A two-story house with a beautiful and spacious courtyard looks crowded. Understandably, this day coincides with a holiday so that the residents of women-dominated indecos spend their time off by relaxing with the closest people.
Leon observed the porch of Lulu's indecos house closely. Seeming doubtful should he approach the group of girls and question Lulu's whereabouts.
"Log in, no. Come in, no." Leon counted the beads of the casual shirt he was wearing. About two minutes passed, he finally decided to go to see Lulu. "Lo must advance Yon, before Ghani actually recognizes Lulu to his cousin's sister. If it happens then you have no more chance to sneak Lulu."
Walking with long steps, Leon approached the crowd of girls who were joking on the porch of the house. "Excuse me, Ma'am. I'm Leon, Lulu's friend. Is the Lulu inside?"
The group of girls stopped their conversation when they heard the voice of the male baritone between them. Hasna, who was closest to Leon, turned to the source of the voice.
Scan Leon's appearance from the top of the hair to the tip of the foot. 'Crazy, really handsome. I just found out Lulu has this little temen.'
"Find Lulu, huh? He was in the room, just had a bath. Want me to call you?" bargain Hasna with a voice made as daring as possible. Spreading the charm possessed, who knows Leon is interested in him.
Instead of being interested, Leon actually shuddered to see the attitude of one of Lulu's indexical friends who was like a hot worm. 'What dream did I meet a model girl last night like this. If not for Lulu, I've been living in this place since, ' he roared inwardly.
Hasna wiggled like a kitten to her master. With a contrived voice he said, "Ish, troublesome how. I don't mind at all. Yes, you wait here. I'll be right back with Lulu here."
Lulu's other indecos friends just shook their heads at Hasna's behavior. That one girl can never bear to meet a handsome man, the innate must want to be close to the man.
Not long after, Hasna appeared with Lulu following behind. The two girls approached Leon.
"Mas Leon, I've brought Lulu. In return, ask for your phone number. Who knows, we could be close friends."
When a flat object was in sight, Leon gasped for a moment never expecting Hasna to be this aggressive to him.
Leon looked at Lulu as if asking for the girl's opinion. Lulu nodded slowly, gesturing that she wouldn't mind if Leon gave Hasna his phone number.
"Thanks Mas Leon. I'll call you later, okay?" Hasna leaves Leon and Lulu after getting what she wants.
"Temen lo that one is very aggressive, anyway, Lu. The longer you stay near him, the more you can get to me." Leon shuddered as he imagined how Hasna would behave to him. A whole life meeting a girl like that.
Lulu giggled amusedly at the strange expression Leon had shown her. "Si Hasna is more famous than any of my other friends. He can't live for a long time. A week break up, two or three days straight with a replacement."
"Well, it's really bad temen lo, tuh. Not suitable to be a candidate for female model he mah." Leon chimed in on Lulu's words.
Lulu linked the two eyebrows at the confused sign. "Calon makmum's. Do you want to be with him?" There is a feeling of pain in the heart when asking the question. The body felt like it was being burned alive, imagining the man next to it alongside another woman.
Hands waving in front of Lulu's face. "No, you misunderstand me. Temen lo it's not my type, Lu. Yes times I like the same tenacious model Hasna. I see my horse fur goosebumps."
"What kind of girl are you? Must be an elegant, classy girl, and certainly equal to your family, huh?" Like an invisible hand, Lulu's heart ached once said the sentence. Somehow he felt unwilling if it turned out Leon owned another woman.
Leon gave a quick glance to Lulu. Seen a lot of sadness from the beauty next to him. He was sad even though he did not know what made the girl mope. Could Lulu's sadness have something to do with their topic of conversation?
"My girl type .. independent, hardworking, but also kind and affectionate to small children. It doesn't matter if he's not from the upper middle class like my family, the important thing is that his heart is soft and I'm comfortable around him."
Lulu's body stiffened slightly due to Leon's speech. Why did the man's words seem to be directed at him.
"Eh, he's dumb. Come on in, I want to take the MRT. Incidentally there are many tourist attractions that can be visited by riding the transportation." Leon pulls Lulu's wrist and opens the door for the girl. After that, he turned his body and sat behind the wheel.
Today Leon will take Lulu around, go to a tourist spot they have never been to. Not a mall, cinema, especially expensive restaurants become their holiday destination this time because for Leon, such a place has been visited so often that it makes him bored. He wanted to give a new experience to their dating umpteenth time.
