Not Wanting (So) the Second
Episode 38: Comfortable Zone

Ambar takes Yasmine to his house, to have a look. Yasmine is bored at Agam's house. Ambar also said he would make him food.

"Siang, madam." said the 50-year-old woman. She is Lukka's nanny, and Lukka's second mother. Compared to Ambar, Lukka was even more satisfied when telling his imagination and heart to Bik Sati.

Bik Sati looks to be slicing peppers according to Ambar's request. Yes, lately because Lukka rarely goes home, Bik Sati's job is focused on the kitchen.

"Are all the ingredients ready, bik? Tomatoes are enough, right?" tanya Ambar checked all the ingredients.

"Quite mistress, but the beef seems to be lacking" said bik Sati, there is no way they only cook for three, there are still Agam, Nisha, Lukka, and Pak Ghani.

"Let me buy it, madam." Bik Sati prepared to take off her apron, but Ambar prevented it.

"I just make, all of you want to buy snacks for Lukka."

Bik Sati nodded, after all the food was not ready all he cut into pieces.

"Yasmine, what do you want?" ask Ambar.

"No ma'am, heheh..." Actually, he wanted to eat vanilla-flavored ice cream, with a lot of chocolate topping. But he was reluctant to tell Ambar.

"I'll stay a while." said Ambar immediately. He wants to buy kitchen spices. He wanted to take Yasmine, but was afraid that the child would get tired later.

"I helped cut it, Bik" Yasmine took the leek ties, but Bik Sati prevented it.

"Don't be non, it's a bibik's job. Don't just sit there, you'll be exhausted."

"It's okay bik," would be too awkward if he just watched Sati's bik there.

Bik Sati did not refuse anymore, "Clean this, if it will be sore in the eyes." he gave a bowl of lettuce leaves to Yasmine.

"Babies have been working with this family for a long time?" Yasmine tried to open the chat, so that the atmosphere was not too quiet.

"It's been non, since Lukka was one year old."

"wahh. really long. means it's like a family ya bik." Yasmine was amazed, it meant that when she was born into the world, the aunt had joined the Lukka family.

"heheheh yes.Bibik actually wants to rest. But not with Lukka, every aunt returned home Lukka even always crying. So bibik obeyed to stay here. After all, the aunt had no children, so Lukka was already considered a child herself."

Sati's smile was so bright when telling Lukka. Just like a mother talking about her own child.

"Means the aunt has been very attached to Lukka's heart." Yasmine laughs, "How was her character when she was a child? Is it the same as it is now?"

"Yes it makes almost no difference, only since he was in his 20s, he became more curious about many things. Yesterday he even asked the aunt, what are the conditions for marrying hahahahha... Bibik's stomach was stiff laughing at that. She can't even put her socks on properly yet."

As for Yasmine, who had been laughing out loud, the laughter faded immediately. "He really talked about that to someone else?"

"Yes hahahaha..he talked to you about that too? It's ridiculous, isn't it?" lirih bik Sati in the middle of her laughter. If only he knew that Yasmine was the one who was invited to marry, he would have laughed even more.

"ha.ha.ha.ha is ridiculous indeed." timpal Yasmine laughed insipidly.dag dig dug serr his heart.

"But aunt pity him, at that age he should have been married. Or at least feel the name in love. Actually aunt has told Ambar's mistress, to find a girl, who might love Lukka. But Miss Ambar refused, saying Lukka would not be able to behave like a man. The child will always be a child, that's what the lady said."

Bik Sati means, there is no harm in making Lukka taste adult life. Like giving him the job he can afford, giving him the freedom to get along reasonably, and giving him the chance to fall in love.

Although mentally Lukka is a small child, who knows in a small heart Lukka has grown the instinct of a mature man. There are also many people out there with mental retardation who are married and have children. Many also work, and do social activities according to their respective abilities. By presenting him with something new about adults, who knows the instincts as an adult Lukka hooked.

But Ambar rejected all the suggestions, because he thinks Lukka's life is now the best. In other words, he did not let his youngest child out of his comfort zone. Yes Bik Sita can not expect much, because after all only Ambar entitled to the future Lukka.

"Lukka once told a bibik, she liked her 9-year-old classmate. Lukka was about 20 years old. When the aunt asked what kind of likes she felt, she replied it felt good. When I saw the little girl feeding her, talking to her, it was so much fun."

"aaa.. the little boy with the yellow bando..." Yasmine mangosteen when she remembered Lukka had told her that. He had also seen the photo, in Lukka's diary.

"But when the aunt asked him if he was pounding, if he missed the girl if he didn't meet, or if he always imagined the girl, he said no. He said he was just happy when they were together, and it was normal not to see each other. From there the aunt concluded, maybe at that time the instinct of love that felt Lukka is still the same as a 7-year-old in general."

"That means Lukka doesn't really like, like a teenager at that age?" Yasmine straightened out the intention of Bik Sita.

The middle-aged woman nodded, "Right, maybe it was only the girl who wanted to be friends with him, so Lukka felt very happy and liked him a lot."

"Yesterday when she asked about marriage, aunt asked the same thing. And he said yes. He said he missed the woman when he didn't meet, saying his heart was like a person running fast while staring at the woman. And at all times he was always on that woman's face. Isn't that falling in love with adults?"

Both of Sita's eyes looked sparkling, imagining Lukka had now started to grow like a grown man. "Bibik was curious as to who the woman he was talking about was."

Yasmine was glued to the lettuce leaf in her hand. The words of Bik Sita just made her chest also pound. Does Lukka really like him as a grown man?

"According to non Yasmine, what kind of woman makes Lukka want to marry?" bik Sita can't wait to hear the story from Lukka.

"Of that, maybe it's her schoolmates." Yasmine replied stammeringly. Just imagining it makes his heart beat almost explode.

BRRAAAKKK....!

The sound of a loud impact made Yasmine and Bik Sita shocked. The voice seemed to be from the front page. Yasmine and Bik Sita instantly left the kitchen, and hurriedly checked the sound.
