"Of course, your father and stepmother do not have money so that shopping for daily necessities should only use your money?"
Shae nodded with great sadness.
"Yes Clay, my dad's money ran out for my stepmother and my two half-siblings yesterday. They buy a lot of new clothes that are quite expensive. They set aside basic necessities for the sake of their lifestyle."
"What a shame to them! Shae, use my money first?"
Shae glanced at Clay. Shae actually wants to accept but Shae also remembers that Clay's life is the same as it seems. We both need money for personal gain.
What Shae knows from Clay is that Clay slams his bones every day for his mother's daily living expenses as well as his sickly sister. Dinda Clay's younger sister who is still Junior High suffers from kidney disease which of course requires a lot of money for dialysis.
"No need for Clay I don't want to trouble you. If I go home and get scolded by my stepmother, I'm okay. I've been scolded so much that I'm immune, hehehe. I don't want to spend a penny on you."
Clay laughed then Clay took the wallet out of his pants pocket. Clay took 500,000 for Shae.
"This is enough, right?" bargain Clay while thrusting the money in front of Shae's face.
Shae shook his head, Shae pushed Clay's hand that was holding the money near Clay's wallet again.
"No Clay, thank you. You need that money for your sister. He's more important."
"But you are important to me too. You are one of my best friends. From the beginning you like to help me spread the task of a teacher or lecturer. The time when you were in need of my help was in fact. Accept huh? About my sister, I can still meet her needs and medical expenses."
It did not feel her tears dripping back from inside my eyelids owned by Shae.
"Thank you so much Clay? I am lucky to have a friend as good as you. I promise that I already have money again I will immediately return your money. Pray that the job of singing from cafe to cafe is getting rame."
"Aamiin, but you don't have to pay that money back. I sincerely thank you but gini aja, if you feel bad to accept the money for free, free of charge, how about you help me make a mini-concert event for the art lovers community that I also join?"
"What do you mean, Clay? Community of art lovers? How did I know you joined that community? What can I help you with?"
"Actually I was lined up to be one of his successful teams. I'm looking for the last singer to perform in that mini concert. I was arguing with the members who were also on his successful team. We are debating who the right singer to perform at the concert, we are looking for the best sound quality because he said at the mini concert there will be a producer who is present to watch the singers. What if you become one of the singers who will perform? Are you ready? Are you one of the singers who owns the golden voice? Your only advantage is not known by important people."
"It's with Clay's pleasure. I'm willing to be a mini-concert performer for nothing. If your team succeeds, you agree that I will be the last singer. Eh but, the food and drink should also be there dong even though only rice box doang, hehehe." replied Shae who was now starting to be a little cheerful and back to joking.
"Well, don't be joking, cheerful, don't be moody. There is no rice box with rice boxes!"
"Nasi box? Same time as it! Haha. Yaudah I want to go to the market first, thank you very much Lang for his help? I have to go to the market for fear of the house people waiting too long for them to starve."
"I'll you go home later? Fear the three thugs who were even vengeful and intend to harm you again?"
"Yes Clay, I want to."
Then Clay and Shae set off for the market together on a bicycle. They ride their bikes. They both cycled across the streets so excitedly.
The light of the morning sun and the birds flying in the sky accompanied their journey. This morning was so beautiful and refreshing. The sound of birdsong really spoils the ears.
The pain that Shae was suffering from was instantly gone with Clay's presence. Shae seemed to have forgotten that she herself was sick. Clay his best friend can always make him forget the sadness or fatigue that is being experienced.
In a few moments they will get to the market and a short time until they both go to the market they are headed. Gembrong Market.
There are many stories in the market. Buyers who are trying to get something at the price they want. They want to get groceries at the price they want, bargain at the price of each other is inevitable. Sellers also want big profits, which can add to their income coffers.
Shae looks for vegetables, fresh fruits, and also seasonings. Not to forget Shae is also looking for chicken meat for the delicious side dishes people home today. Today Shae wants to cook a chicken balado for the house. Shae forgot that she had not bought any tomatoes. Tomatoes are the main ingredient in balado recipes. Meanwhile Clay still faithfully accompanies and follows wherever Shae steps in the market. Clay was really taking care of Shae swiftly and on standby.
"Mba, three tomato vegetables huh?" shae's message to a tomato seller.
"Please choose the best tomato mba," said the seller gave a friendly smile.
Clay suddenly chuckles to make Shae feel confused what's funny?
"Is there something funny? How come you suddenly laugh?" shae asked as she sorted out which tomatoes she wanted.
"The tomato is Shae's fruit. Tomatoes are more characteristic of fruit than vegetables!"
"Tomatoes are not rich in fruit. I have been eating it all this time, I call it a vegetable. Fruit tastes sweet while tomatoes are not as sweet as Clay!"
"But what else, according to science, the fact is that tomatoes are more fruit than vegetables!"
"No! Tomatoes are Shae's vegetables!"
"You're wrong Shae, that's a fruit!"
"Okayur!"
"Fruits!"
"Okayur!"
"What are you doing? Explained the actual facts even ngeyel! You stubborn chick!"
"Bigger cocksucker!"
"Big fruit!"
"I'm a handsome cook!"
"Fruits!"
"Okayur!"
Many people are made to be astonished and not see the tomato debate is a vegetable or fruit between Clay and Shae
"That tomato is fruit!"
"Eye! You asked to be hired!"
Everyone laughed out loud at Clay and Shae's behavior inside the market.
